The Meanest Man in Philadelphia
This man had severe attack of grip.
and thought he was going to die. He
was sure of it. He began to figure up
the question of expense. Rubbing bis

denly dawned upon him that he had a
weeks growth Of beard on his face. He
couldn't be buried that way, and he
knew that BARRIERS charged tremend-
ously for shaving dead men. So he got
up and dressed, despite the protests Of
his family, and staggered around the
corner to the barber shop. What do
you charge for shaving corpse" he
asked the barber. "$l," was the reply.
The dying man sank into chair and
said: VI want the closest shave you can
give me-" As be tremblingly paid his

presented arguments to the Senate
committee on Privileges and Elections,
in favor of the hearing of witnesses In
the case, but the committee has not yet
decided. 1t still has the Clark case on
hand, and its members are all interested
in the Quay case, now on the Senate
calendar. Being privileged, the Quay
case can be called up at any time Sena'
tor Chandler, Chairman Of the commit
tee, may see fit to do so.
Three days to talk about the Roberts
case and to turn him out; two days to
eulogize the late Vice President Hobart,
and the late Representative Baird, OF
Louisiana. and one day to local legisla-
ton for the District of Columbia, which
ought to be IN the hands Of the local
legislative body That is the record OF
the week in the House. They spent the
most of the four days it was in session
in talk. 1t passed the Urgency Def
cheney Bill, and then 1t talked--about
the Finance bill. about the Philippines.
about the North Carolina suffrage
amendment, and even had little fling
at the old bloody shirt. The greater
portion of one day was given up by the
Senator'S to party caucusing, both bodies
holding caucuses at the same time, leav-
ing Senator Teller, who attends neither,
the sole occupant of the Senate floor for
an hour or two. That ls the week g
record of the Senate.
Prof. Dean G. Worcester, President
of the Philippine Commission, probably
knows the people Of the Philippines
better than any other man in the United
States, owing to his having lived among
them for the purpose of studying their
characteristics, long before anyone
dreamed of the American flag being
raised over the island. He said Of them:
"The common people treat their women
we'll and their families are we'll ordered.
They are a musical people, and this is
an especially good trait. On the other
hand, the people are idle and extremely
ignorant. They show no originality,
but are copyists. There is no doubt
but that they would develop originality
if an opportunity were given them
They are untruthful in the extreme
They are cruel and supersttious. Above
all, the common class is woefully inex-
perienced in affairs of government,
Prot. Worcester says the average ma
tive shows that he expects protection
from the Americans, but if asked what
be means by protection, will cay: why
you protect us from other people and
let us do as we please"

There is apparently no limit to indi-
yidual nerve. An attorney for Brit
ish telegraph company told the House
Committee on Interstate and Foreign
Commerce, which is considering the
bills for Pacific cable, that this gov
eminent could not lay cable to Ma
Mia without violating rights of that com
pany, under concessions given by Spain,
which be claimed were binding on this
government. 1t is not thought that
this preposterous claim will receive any
serious attention either from the COM
mittee or from Congress.
Representative Jenkins, of Wisconsin,
a member of the Judiciary committee is
the latest man 10 propose trust remedy
His idea, which is embodied in joint
resolution providing for an amendment
to the constitution, is to give Congress
power to create corporations for Inter
state commerce and to control them
even to the extent of taking away their
franchises, if they failed to obey the
law or abused their privileges; but to
leave the taxation of the property of
these corporations entirely to the states.
Mr.. Jenkins said of the growth of
trusts Where are great many corpo-
rations and combinations which have
grown 80 great that they arc absolutely
beyound the law. We are powerless to
reach them"
