NUN LEAVES A CONVENT.

Sister Cecilia a closter nun of the
Academy OF Mt St Ursula, left the con-
vent week or two ago for the first time
in forty-five years Her appearance on
the streets Of Babylon, l.. l., created a
great deal of interest, as she was looked
upon as one risen from the grave. she
was the daughter of the late Bryan Law
renee, Of New York, a 1inancier and phi
lanthropist. She entered the convent when
she was seventeen years OF age, anC had
not wandered beyond its confines Tor forty
five years 1t is rumored that she mas
been ordered back to her cell, but this IS
denied. A priest, in referring to the mat

they are not permitted to go BACK There
is no such thing as a vacation or recess

AGREES WITH THE TIMES.

The Charlotte Observer reproduces some
remarks of ours on the Philippine cues
ton. and admits in its comments that its
own opinions have undergone some noun
cation. This is great problem which
confronts the country says our contem-
| porary, land the Observer for one has not
felt warranted in laying down any Off
handed d:ctum about it. We have felt
that it could wait for solution-thnt, in the
nature of the case. it would have to wait,
| and, therefore. we have not seen the wis
dom OF peoples flashing themselves into
| untimely fury about it.
Our neighbor the Richmond Dispatch in
discussing the situation in China. says that
it is a question as to whether or not we
have made our power sufficiently felt in
China. and so a question as to whether or
not our military work in the Empire is
really dene. ''If we are to hnve any
further relations with China it adds.
'manifestly we should not do anything
that would weaken the prestige we have
so far gained.
L
read the same thing over and over again,
but the only way to impress tact is to
! keep on hammerins it, and We nave peen
trying to impress the fact thnt this entire
| Eastern question is one of the most gigan-
| tic problems that this country has ever
! had to solve, and cannot be disposed OF IN
| an ofr-hand way It is not simply a ques-
| ton as to whether or not we shnll give
J the Filpinos their independence. we have
! vast interests in the East, and these inter-
asts compel us to tai an active part in the
| affairs OF the East, whether we would or
| not. If we should withdraw md leave the
| European Powers to fight it out among
| themselves, there is good reason to be-
| lieve that the downfall of China would
] soon come, that the Empire would be dis
| membered and the territory Of China parti-
| toned out among the European Powers,
!; nnd in that event the United States would,
| in all probability. be barred from trading
l with the Chinese. We would be In poor
| condition to assert our claims if the Phil
| ipp;ne Islands had not fallen into our
| hands. But We now have such COM
n,anding position in the situation as to
compel the European Powers to recognize
! us and to give our claims consideration.
and our influence is such that in the case
of any effort to disnembers China the
United States and Great Britain, ind prob
ably Japan. would stand together and In
s!st tina, the status quo should be main
tanned. The, stunt.on is reaching q critical
point and we say that it IS rash for any
/ party at this time to commit itself def
nitely and unalterab!y to a Philippine pol

The Chattanooga News says: The cleo
ton of Mr.. Bryan will not produce a panic,
but the doors of every national bank IN
the country will be closed four months
after he is inaugurated-
One would suppose from reading this that
the Chattanooga News was u rampant Re-
publican newspaper and was training its
guns the Democratic nominee On the
contrary the News is a strong Democratic
paper. and the above paragraph was writ
ten in Mr.. Bryan's interest! 1t is evident
that the Democratic managers in Tennes-
see need to edit the editor of the Chatta-
nooga News.
The Philadelphia Ledger, Republican,
seriously asks why should Governor
Roosevelt make any speeches in the pres
ent campnign?' And then goes on to say:
His superior on the ticket is not ex-
pected to make any, and, as matter OF
principle, the American people would
rather see the Governor at home attending
to the duties for which he was elected than
going about the country seeking the votes
for another Office
We are rather inclined to think that the
Republicans will lose more than they will
gain by sending Colonel Roosevelt out on
a rough riding political tour He is a
strenuous speaker and is not always
guarded in what he says. The Repubi-
cans are not apt to make many votes by
such speeches as Colonel Roosevelt made
recently at ST. Paul.

Two STORIES FROM NEW YORK

We ind in the New York Tribune of
yesterday story which interests us no
little, in view of the fact that the incident
riots in that city
A negro went into cheap restaurant
and took scat at table. he was the
only negro in the restaurant and John
Tietjen, white waiter, went up to take
his order. As soon as the white waiter
saw the negro, his blood was up. and the
Tribune tells Us that he assumed
black. Here was the beginning Of the
trouble The white man resented the idea
of serving black man, the black man saw
1t and there was enmity between these
two from the start. However, business is
business The negro gave his order and
the white man executed it. Finally when
the negro had finished eating he started
out without paying his score. The white
waiter stopped him ana demanded the
money. The negro took two nickels out
of his pocket and threw them at the white
man in an insolent manner, telling him to
'.pick 'em up" The white man needed no
further challenge. He at once sprang upon
the neSre and kicked him out of the door.
The negro then went out and secured a
pistol. ard everybody knows that when
you get a negro and a gun in combination
you may look out for trouble. Having
armed himself the negro went back to the
restaurant and called to the white waiter
to come out and fight The white waiter
accepted the challenge and in a little while
they We're at it tooth and nail The negro s
opportunity had come. He had put that
pistol in his pocket for j purpose and when
the occasion offered. he pulled it out and
shot the white man through the heart.
The negro then ran off to neighborinS
house and a large crowd Of whites ran
after him. The negro was caught and
the whites threatened TO lynch him, but
the officers of the law got the negro safely
out of The way and landed him in jail.
From the same paper. and it must be
remembered that the Tribune is the
National Republican organ, We clip an
other interesting story, as follows
What threatened to be serious trouble
in The NARROW Athletic Club. of White
started over the Ambulance of Arthur
Rhodes, negro, to membership. The club
has an Investigating Committee, which
is supposed to pass on all persons proposed
for membership, but it made no inyestisa-
ton when Rhodes name was proposed by
William knabe.
A few nights ago the club voted to admit
those who had been proposed and posted
for membership. 1t was not until day
or two later that it became known gen
orally to the members that Rhodes was a
negro Some favored allowing him to re-
hahn, as he was known as a young man of
good habits, but Others objected TO re
manning in the club with him. Last even
ing the affair was settled by letter OF
resignation from Rhodes. He said he did
not wish TO be the cause Of any trouble in
the club.
These stories show for themselves. They
show that the people OF the North are
face to face with the negro question and
they are fast finding out what it means.

Aguinaldo Orders Former Lenders to
Cease All Attempts at Pacifcatiou.
Manila, Oct. 22.-Senor BuencaminG
has received what purports to be let
ter from Aguinaldo, ordering the form
er leaders of the insurection to de-
sist from the formation of political
parties and to cease all their attempts
at pacification.
The letter mysteriously hints that
plans are maturing among the armed
rebels in the field and describes these
as ''best for the country Senor Buen-
camino declares that the letter is gem
uine. The military situation was COM
paratively quiet last week. The COM
mission, the military authorities, the
Filipinos and the foreigners are await
ing the result of the presidential cleo
tion in the United States. Many per-
sons assert that whatever this may be,
it will have no immediate effect OH the
armed forces in the Philippines and
that disorders and guerrilla attacks
will continue for some time.
