Plan of Government.
The chief interest in the report nat
uraIly centers in the plan Of govern
ment proposed by the commission. The
commission announces itself UnQUall-
fiedly in favor Of a government OF the
Philippines analogous to that Of a ter
ritOry of the United States, with a gov
ernOr appointed by the president. They
say il Is desirable that the Inhabitants
of the archipelago should enjoy a large
measure Of home rule IN local affains,
their towns to enjoy substantially the
rights and privileges of towns in a ter
ritOry
The provinces should be vested with,
substantially, functions Of a county In
a territory; this system might be ap-
piled to Luz0n and the Vizcayan islands
at once, and a beginning might be made

SAYS, need not be considered in this
connection.
The FnipinOs could manage their own
town and county affairs through their
own officers. whom they could elect
with no help from American officials,
EXCEPT such as would be involved in
control from the central government at
Manila. The suffrage should be re-
stricted by educational or property
qualifications, or both. This syhtem
would necessitate a small body of
American officials Of great ability and
integrity. and of patience and tact in
dealing with other races and on thls
account the commission recommends
that they should be paid high salaries.
The commission si3-s they could pc
called advisors or commissioners and
that one for every $50 natives
should suffice IT would be the duty
of such commissioners to report on their
work to the central government 81
Manila. Their main function would be
to advise town and county councils IN
the discharge Of the duties and to
watch the collection Of revenues and It's
expenditures. Our government OF the

must be adapted to the Filipinos.

about a genial and ingenious old pre-
siding elder in the Methodist Episcopal
Church South who was tOwnSman
of lli$ back in Kentucky, relates the
New York Telegraph. When he apt
peared in Mr.. Ireland's Offices at Wash
ington one da y. the lawyer was cordial
to the old preacher, tool! him to all the
interesting PLACES of the capital and in
the evening mad him TO dine at the
home Of a lady III the official circle
who would rather decorate her table
with quaint, EOmely characters than
with nOtabics. Spaghetti was one Of
the dishes served, and the old man took
to it with amazing CELEBRITY. Put very
much at his ease by the gracious ways
of his hostess. he asked fer and pol

paste.
Signing contentedly as he finished,
he remarked:

When the presentation Of so exalted

Of the emperOr's favor.
To GOrdOn'S evident aStOnishment.
the operation of dOnning the yellow
Jacket in its entirety was a consider
able undertaking, for between two
and three hours the great but simple

1t comprised silk dresses, robes, jack

SIT is astonishing how careless peO-
ple are about sending clothes to laun-
dry without first searching them for
money and jewelry," said the manager
of laundry the other day. "Yester-
day a woman sent bundle of dresses
here, and in the pocket of one was
$50 in bills. We never search cloth
ing for valuables. The dresses were
put in the washing machine, soap and
water put in, and after the machine
had been running half an hour it was
opened, and the man in charge was as
tonished to see paper money floating
around on the water. The bills had in
some manner worked Out OF the pocket
of the dress, and. strange to say. not
one of them was tCrn. We ran the
money through the drying machine
and then irOnpd each lii carefully.

A Long Bath.

A man who is lawyer and a jour-
naliSt i'll one Of the smaller inland cit
les of Ohio tells of an uncle he has in
the region Of Massillon. This relative
is one Of the pious members Of a small
community and. being possessed of
considerable executive ability, has
been for more than 20 years the super
intendent Of thriving Sunday school.
His beSetting Stn. if it might be called
such, is his propensity to eXaggerate
stories in order to make them interest
ing to his auditors.
Some time ago he was telling his
lawyer journalist nephew of how he
cured himself of the ague. 1t was sew
eraI years ago, and. having tried every
remedy in vain, he at last consulted an

dispatched the following telegram to
the leading Melbourne bookseller:

The bookseller was staggered at the
receipt of such wholesale and uncOn-
yentiOnal order. but as the signature of
the sender would be hOnored by any

among us, nor was her body brought
here, yet she was one of our family,
and a member of the Guild from its
organization, she was earnest in
every good work, and willing to take
her part in it, even at times when it
seemed beyond her strength. She
died, comforted by a sons presence
near the home of long ago, and is
buried where are gathered the associ-
ations of her early life. After nearly
two months l went to the cemetery
for the funeral of a boy who had
died several miles out of the city.
On St. Johns Day, sorr rowing friends
carried up the aisle the body of one
who a short two years before, had
come over the same way in all the
brightness and happiness of a bride.
She was truly one of our children;
I baptized her; presented her for con-
firmation; married her and said the
comforting words the church has for
those who die in the Lord; had she
lived another week it would have
been her birthday, but brighter than
all earthly days is the life upon
which she has entered. The next
day, in the absence of his own min
ister, | oifieiated at the burial of a
man who bad long been an invalid,

to find for his body a resting place
among comparative strangers.
Owing to the fact that it was
nearly the middle of December be-
fore this annual custom was observed
last year, the tire includes only ten
months and half, yet there could
scarcely have been a period more
marked by contrasts in circumstances
and position. Every age is repre-
sented from infancy to over three
score years and ten. Every position
from the tenderest and most loving
household to the, carelessless which
would scarcely call itself a home.
TIE church has regard for all, she
judges none, for the dead must ap-
pear before their Lord and her Lord;
His compassion is infinite and she
trusts to His mercy even while ac-
knOwledging His justice. 1t is as our
lamented pOet-bishop has said:
.''Our Mother, the Church. hath never a child.

PRESBYTERY MEETS
Two Pastors to be Installed This
 Month

The North Alabama Presbytery held an adjourned session at the Central Presby- terian church yesterday afternoon for the purpose of examining candidates for the ministry. Among the applicants examined were J. w. Orr, who has recently been called to the Ensley church, B. F. Beding- CT of Hanover, and D. A. Pendleton of Childersburg. The applicants all stood splendid examinations and especially so did MT. Orr, who graduated from the Southwestern University at Clarksville, Tenn, in June.
 The call of Rev. J. J. Snedecor to the Avonddle Presbyterian church was ap- proved, and Sunday, July 15, fixed as the date for his installation.
 Rev. J. w. Orr's call to the Ensley church was favorably acted upon by the Presby- tery. Sunday, July s. at 3:30 p. m., was designated as the date for installing him as pastor.
 Rev. Orr preached a very able sermon at the Central church last night. It was his first sermon after his ordination as a minister, and his audience was favor ably impressed with the manner in which he handled his subject.
