A Novel Attraction at EIks' Carnival.

At the Elks' Carnival is to be seen
one of the most mysterious Exhibi-
tions that was ever presented. 1t is
that of "Lunette, the Flying Lady"
at the Electrical Theater. OF all the
bright mechanics and experts in tran
smission and reflection of light that
we have here in Aron, cannot some
one come out with a plausible theory
as to how this is done. They claim
1t is not done by the aid of wires,
ropes or other scenic or mechanical
devices. Those not believing in su-
pernatural things must account for
1t in some other way. 1t is by far
the best thing ever shown here.

IMPERIAL nossEnY pEsouNorp.

Senator George f. Hoar, the distin-
guished Massachusetts Republican, in
his great speech in the United States
Senate April 49, 1900, had this,
among other things to say about Pres
ident McKinleys policy of imperial
ism:
1T is to be noted Just here that we
have acquired no territory or other
property In the Philippine Islands
save few public buildings. BY every
other acquisition of territory the Unit
ed States became a great landowner
She owned the public lands as she had
owned the public lands in the north
west ceded 10 her by the old states.
But you own nothing In the Philip.
pines The people own their farms
and dwellings and cities. The religi-
GUS orders own the rest. The Fill
pinos desire to do what our English
ancestors did In the old days when
England was Catholic. The laity
feared that the church would engross
all the land. So they passed their
statute of mortmaln. You have either
got to let the people Of the Philippine
Islands settle this matter for them
selves or you must take upon you tho
delicate duty Of settling Ut for them.
Your purchase or conquest Is a pur-
chase of nothing but sovereignty. 1t
Is a sovereignty over people who
are never to be admitted 90 exercise 1t
or TO share 1t.
"ln the present case we have not,
repeat, bought any property We
have undertaken to buy mere sover-
eignity. There were no public lands
In the Philippine Islands. the property
paid for. The mountains of iron and
the nuggets of gold and the hemp
bearing fields-do You purpose to
strip the owners of their rightful title?
We have undertaken to buy allegiance
pure and simple. An allegiance Is Just
what the law OF nations declares you
cannot buy. The power of congress
to dispose OF the territory Of other
property of the United States, invoked
In this debate as the foundation OF
your constitutional right, may carry
with 1t In proper case a right to the
allegiance OF the occupant of the sol
