In an address before the Hamilton
club, at Chicago, on Monday night,
Senator Lodge OF Massachusetts de-
Tended the foreign policy of the adj
ministration. He declared that :" our
policy in the Philippines is one Lpon
which We can meet the people and
receive their cordial support, The
administration is admittedly lighting
upon the defensive before the cam
paign OF 1900 has fairly opened; and
the chances arc the the election re-
turns in November will not add to
Senator Lodges reputation rs n polit-
ical prophet In defending the Porto
Rico tariff bill he said,
We have taken from the rich
planters Of the island and return MI
we have taken To the. whole people. F."
This sort of n Robin Hood bid for
popularity has recently been otlcrcd
by other supporters of the administra-
ton; but it is hardly crcditablc to the
twentieth century, and ought not to
have much weight with the American

FOR REPRESENTATIVE IN
CONGRESS-.

The Republican congressional con-
convention for the third district will
be held at Baraboo on Tuesday,
April "a, and Congressman Babcock
will probably be unanimously renom-
mated. Iowa county has chosen a
solid Babcock delegation, and reports
indicate that every county in the dis
trict will do likewise.
Mr.. Babcock Is thoroughly in ac-
cord with the administration, and is
an influential congressman and very
potential man generally in American
politics. He therefore seems to be the
logical candidate of his party. There
are, however, throughout the district
many representative Republicans who
are very strongly opposed to Mr..
Babcock's leadership. But they are
chiefly opposed to his leadership, and
not to any party principle or policy
which he represents. 1t Is, in fact, a
factional opposition: in which those
outside Of the Republican ranks have
no part.
Four times has Mr.. Babcock been
elected to congress from this district;
and The Democrat has favored his
election three Of those four times,
ramcly: in 1894 and 1896, when he had
no control whatever over the Mineral
Point postofice, and in 1898, when he
held it in the hollow OF his hand. We
supported him because he had sup
ported Mr.. Cleveland in repeating the
compulsory purchase clause OF the
for the gold standard, while his OPP
poncnts stood for the free coinage OF
the currency question is no longer the
paramount issue between the parties.
Entirely new issues are being joined,
From the present attitude Of President
Mckinley and the majority in con
gross the Republican party will stand
for II policy Of Imperialism, unjust
tariff taxation, and protection to
trusts. And the Democratic party
ought to stand in direct opposition:
for such just government Ms comes
from the consent Of the governcd: for
the constitution following the flag;
and against trusts and combinations
in restraint OF trade. This il the con
dition which will probably confront
the country during the campaign OF
1900. And Mr. Babcock should stand
or fall with the administration. The
question whether or not he has cstab-
lishcd protectorate over the licpub-
Leans of Iowa county can hardly be
made prominent issue during pres
idcntial campaign. 1t Is for them to
whether they are capable
of local self government.
Any formidable opposition to Mr..
Babcock must rest ON II matter of
principle which will appeal to the
people of the whole district.

Ed ick, the clerk of the United States Cir cult court, in the Federal building, when she appeared before him, for a woman who wants to take out papers is always an object of curiosity. She said she was Miss Mine Harada, and she signed her name in a firm, legible hand She gave Tokio as her native place. An interpreter was necessary to explain the terms of the oath by which she was required to renounce ner allegiance to the emperor of Japan.

WOMEN PIANO TUNERS.
New Field of Labor Which Does Not
 Require Much Exertion.


 l have been pondering the problem Of feminine money-making oecupa- tions, and among the unexplored fields l believe piano tuning to be just the thing for musical women, for it is generally conceded that woman's ear is finer than a mans, although one musician of my acquaintance taxes ex- eeption to the statement However, l say to him that fewer women than men sing off the key and play out of tune. Piano tuning is not hard work that is, it does not require any amount of physical exertion. It does require correct ear, knowledge of music and degree of skill which can be acquired from teacher in the tuning line like any other trade. There are many houses where a feminine tuner would be preferred to a man, and not the least reason why the compensation to both sexes should not be equal. It is one of the few fields where the com petition is even. It disturbs me grea sly to note the difference in salaries paid to men and women who do the same work. Often the woman has a family dependent upon her, and while the man has nobody in the world on whom to spend his money, yet her sex, not her ability, debars her from earning as much money as the man whose 7sk adjoins hers. I am rather lukewarm on the subject of woman's rights be- cause I believe that in the main our sex has great many privileges, more than is good for us sometimes. There are a few things in which I could wish an improvement, and the salary ques- tion is one of them. A faithful, indus trious woman who looks out for her employers interest ought to receive the consideration generally extended to male employe with those same ex- eellent qualities, and I will fight for reform in that direction with the full strength of my voice and the entire force of my pen. That reform would help us more than the ballot-box priv ilege ten times over.-Kansas City Journal.

THE ARCTIC MOSQUITO.
Fierce Insect That Is Menace ts
 Human life.

Nothing that has ever been written about the arctic mosquito begins to come up to the real thing" said a guest in the St. Charles corridor the other evening .I went up the Yukon river in the summer of 1896, represent ing the Alaska and Dominion Trading company, and we struck mosquitoes as soon as we got into the hills. They are twice as large as our familiar bayou species, and their sting is like the prod of a hot needle. They sweep along the valleys in dense clouds, and if they catch man unprepared they are liable to blind him before he can escape. I heard stories of children, being stung to death, and can readily believe them. Whenever we went ashore We wore heavy hat nets and took the utmost precaution, but were certain to suffer more or less. One of our party cut the tongues out of his shoes and narrow line of sock was exposed under the 1acing. Next day. he was bitten there at least hundred times, and his feet were so terribly infamed that the shoes had to be cut off. Another man, fireman in the boat crew, got drunk on Alaska whisky one afternoon and lay down to take nap in corner of the engine room, and was mortified at the solid brown mass of mosquitoes that had settled on small exposed section of his cheek and throat. In an hour his face was swollen out of all resemblance to any thing human, he was unable to swal- low and was burning with fever. It was a week before he was able to be about. I saw number of cattle near Fort Hamilton that had been made stone blind by stings near the eye. The arctic foothill mosquito is with out doubt the most terrible insect pest in the world.

PEOPLE FORGET
And Leave Money in safe Deposit Boxo
 for Years.

From the New Orleans Times-Demo- crat: "Apropos of the singular case of old man Burgess said a bank teller the other evening, it is by no means ar unheardof thing for people to put money and valuables in safe deposit boxes and then forget all about them. A remarkable case of that kind hap pened in New Orleans ten or twelve years ago. An old planter, who car ried a good-sized deposit in one of the banks, gave little bundle to the cash fer one day and asked him to put it where it would be safe The cashier supposed it contained legal documents of some kind, laid it away in con- partment with lot of other papers and thought no more about it. Three or four years later the planter had a series of misfortunes that wiped out most of his property, and he was terribly pressed for money. One morning he was in the bank, feeling very much dejected, when some thing reminded the cashier of the old package, and he went and hunted it up. Here's something you left with us a good while ago, colonel he remarked. Do you wish us to still keep it for you?' I don't remember what it is, he said, and proceeded to strip off the wrapper. It contained ffty-five $100 dollar bills. He had received them as balance on an old account, and the whole affair had simply passed out of his memory. He was in full possession of his fac ulties, but bigger transactions had crowded that one to the background in his mind. The money came in very handy at that particular time, and he was overjoyed at the discovery. Of course, that case was very much out of the ordinary. but many special de- pos1ts of lesser value have been oyer- looked for long periods in the local banks. Strange to say, some of the ab- sent-minded folks have been women, who are feputed to be very keen about money matters. One famous old bank in NewYork is reputed to have half a million dollars in that kind of 'sleepers' in it's vaults.

KISSED BY THE QUEEN.
A Gracious Distinction Conferred Upon
 Braye Soldier.


 To be Knight of the Thistle is big honor, of course" remarked an old quartermaster sergeant, amidst dis eussion among some military men at Chatham, says Pearsons Weekly; but 1 can claim distinction lots in front of that, or of kissing hands with the queen, as they say of the custom observed by cabinet ministers when taking over the seals of office" You're chueking it, mon," observed a stalwart sergeant frae the far north. Well the veteran non-com. went on to explain, sthe good fortune which be- fel me was to be kissed by the queen, party to gather round yet closer. You're having us, Jock" observed eredulous corporal, and if you want the hatchet say so. for the present holder is fair outclassed.' No" the distinguished soldier, as he claimed to be, eontended, "it is you that's out of it, as you will see. You may have heard of my being the youngest bugler that took part in the Crimea, and such fact secured for me place among the survivors who were inspected by the queen after peace was proclaimed. When the wounded went by, some in chairs "Quite so. Well. was.than little faxen-haired red-eheeked youngster, very small for my age, and I suppose eontrasted good deal with the worn veterans. When my turn came to pass her majesty asked how old I was and on replying little over thirteen, at the same time giving quite the best salute possible. the queen said: Dear little fellow, and. then gave me kiss on the cheek. So you see how I came to receive a gracious dis tinction which from generals down. ward no other soldier has ever been able to lay claim to. That honor's mine alone

American Oyster Trade

American oysters rank among the best in the world, and the export list is growing all the time. England takes about 5000 barrels a week all the year round. Gone. says the New York Sun, are the days of the old Saddle Rocks, which no man could place entire in his mouth, which for frying were the Ely sium of the Philadelphia chef. In the old days there were only three centers for oysters-Baltimore New York and New Haven. The best oysters came from Blue Point, Oak Haven, Buzzard 5 Bay (deep waterl, Lynn Haven (Ghes- apeakel, Shrewsbury, Mill Pond, Rock away, Maurice River Cove tmouth of Delaware), Great South and Lower Bay. Experts in the business say that the finest oysters obtainable are in the first weeks of May, as then the fat, luscious, Virginia oysters come north to be planted. Virginia oysters are placed in spawn in 'spat beds along the deeper water shores of bays and estuaries. Each is capable of produc- ing 100000 eggs.

An Interesting Operation.

A very interesting operation was performed in New York upon Kate Farley by Dr. Brewster, dentist of Lefferts place. Mrs. Farley has been at the Memorial hospital for several weeks with two compound fractures of the lower jaw The operation con- sisted of cementing the upper and low CT jaws together, so that the broken bones of the lower jaw may be held firmly in place until the fractures are healed. Until the healing has taken place the woman will not be able to open her mouth, so that nourishment will be given her through tubes lead ing through small apartures where several of her teeth are broken out The primary part of the operation was similar to the process used by dentists in making new sets of teeth for persons who have none pr. Brewster first made an impression of the upper and lower teeth. From these impressions he made a rubber splint which fitted the impressions of the teeth. He then cemented this splint to the teeth, clos ing the jaws firmly together.

AMERICA s FIRST GEORGE.
How He Sometimes Tried to Run Away
 from His Admirers.

Washington was not ehurlish, but he had that preference for being unob- served that develops at times into a longing in a man whose life is spent in public. He quilted the Maeomb house on the morning of Aug, 30, 1T90 The servants were instructed to steal away at dawn, to have the carriage and lug by sunrise. By candlelight, Mrs. Washington, the children and the sec retaries assembled in the morning room. The president appeared pleased with his stratagem He was enjoying his prospect of concealed departure. Immediately under the window sud- denly struck up on the still morning air the blaring, vigorous notes of an artillery band From the highways and byways seurrying people ap- peared. To witness his first step out side the door thousand goggling af- fectionate eyes watched. "Therei" cried the general, in half-conic de- spair-I cannot think altogether dis pleased-"it's all over; we are found out Well! we'll they must have their own way' It was the ''gent.ral3 they waited to see, not the president. They lined the roadway from house to barge, recording every movement in observant brains GA distinguished man can never know which of his au- dience is to be his biographer. It may be one of the "supers" on the stage rolling off the carpets) The thunder of artillery could not drown the living shout that rose from the throats of the people as Washington was borne off with the rise and fall of the oars gleaming in the cheerful sun. His voice trembled as he bade the as sembled crowd farewell. Though chary of appealing to it, the love of the peo- pie never failed to move him deeply, -Harper's Magazine.
