The great American Bell fight over the
validity of the BerIiner patent which has
been pending since August, 1895, was de-
cided In the United States Circuit Court in
Boston, Mass, this week by Judge Brown,
who handed down decree against the Bell
Company. The position of the various
telephone companies is not materially
changed by the decision however as the
Bell monopoly will in all probability appeal
the suit, and that will mean another delay OF
.eyeral years before the matter will be fiual-
y decided by the Supreme Court. How

1.-THE most remarkable draw 1 ever saw
made at poker was in a Chicago club one
night" said a well known Chicago man
the other day, according to the Kansas
City Journal. There were five of us in
little social game with a limit of $25
and all jackpots. A friend of mine, whom
l will call Jones' was dealing. l was
first under the guns and passed, as did
also the two men sitting next. The fifth
man-we will say his name was Brown
opened the pot for S.. Jones didn't have
the shadow of a thing in his hand, but
he raised Brown $40, intending to stand
pat and bluff it out. Brown had three
aces, and he came back at Jones with $40
better. Now, instead of laying down, as
a wise man should in a case like that
Jones determined to see it through He
knew, of course, that it would be useless
to try and bluff, SO he drew three to a
king and queen of spades. Brown had
drawn three cards to his aces and had
gotten a small pair. AS bait, he led off
the betting with s.. Jones hadn't looked
at his hand until Brown bet, and when
he picked up his cards he almost fell
dead. He had drawn an ace, jack and ten
of spades, making royal flush. They
raised each other back and forth until
one or the other had all his money in,
and when the hands were shown down
the game broke up right there. l know 1t
to be a fact that Jones hasn't touched a
card from that day to this, but despite
his abstinence from gambling, he is yet
firmly convinced that fortune will some
day give him an awful drubbing to offset
such an unheard-of-favor at her hands,

Capt. Archibald W. Butt, A. Q. NJ, U.
S. ", who used to flourish as plain Ar
chic Butt when he was a Washington
correspondent, and as one of the most
oongenial fellows in the Journalistic corps
has degenerated into an expert on mule
fodder, says the Washington Post In the
cid days, before everybody rejoiced at
his good fortune in securing a military
commission that, to the regret of every
body. took him out to the Philippines.
Archie was very literary. He prided him
self on well-written articles, and occa-
sionaly broke into the standard maya
zines with some really good fiction skits.
Not without some show of pride did he
relate to friends and acquaintance his
achievements with apprecidtive editors of
these magazines.

in Gen. MacArthur's annual report, which
have filtered through the various official
channels and finally reached the legisla-

in discussing the proper feed for mules

that the punky bale possesses marked adj
Vantages over others in that it does not
absorb dampness nor dirt and seems to
stand the wear and tear of the damp CHI
mate better than any other process of
baling. The animals, however, do not
seem to eat it with the same relish as the
hay baled in the old method.
Il would further state that this office
ceased to purchase tique-tique, miel pad
dy, or grass, and is thus feeding only
oats and hay. This office has still some
paddy on hand, which will soon be ex-
hausted."

BETTER OUTLOOK IN THE PHILIP
NJ

Recent dispatches from the Philippines
are encouraging The insurgents appear
10 be getting tired of the war and are
surrendering In the dispatches yester-
day there were accounts OF the surrender
OF several prominent men, together with
their commands, and the statement was
made that as the people become acquaint-
ed with the purposes of our government
they are showing disposition to adept
our authority. 1t is probable that the
instruction would have been over long
ago If it had not been for the efforts Of a
few ambitious men who want TO rule the
islands.
The testimony of all observing Ameri-
cans who have visited the islands is
that the Filiplnos are unfit for self-gov-
ernment-that IL they were permitted 10
take charge OF their own affairs there
would be disorder and chaos there about
all the time. Such state of affairs would
not be permitted to continue very long.
Some one or more Of the European ma
lions would take charge of the islands,
unless the United States maintained a pro-
be more expensive than TO govern them.
The time may come when independence
can be given the Filipinos with real ben
eft to them, but it is pretty certain that
If independence were given them now it
would be their ruin The expressions of
opinion by congressman in favor of Civ
ing them their independence is making it
harder for our soldiers to restore order.
We have no doubt that it would be
the best thing for the United States to
practically abandon the islands. The
government OF them will have a corrupt
ing influence on our politics. and will have
a tendency to draw the republic away
from its ancient moorings. There does
not seem to be any honorable way, how
ever, to let go of the islands. The whole
civilized world looks to the United States
to maintain order in them and protect life
and properly there. 1t looks therefore,
as If there were no way of doing anything
else in respect to the Islands than what
we are doing now. That being the case
the reports that the situation is steadily
becoming better are calculated to cause
satisfaction throughout the country. Il
may be that in the course OF a few months
the instruction will have practically dis
appeared, and the people will be doing
what they can 40 make government I'M
der our authority a success. If they
should accept our rule in good faith it
would not be very long before they would
understand that their condition under our
domination is far better than ever it
was under the rule of Spain

CUBA's INDEPENDExCE.

The decision of the Supreme Court In
the Nicely case ought to be, and doubtless
is, satisfactory to the Cubans. Many of
them have had a suspicion that il was the
purpose of the United States to retain pos
session of Cuba in some way, and it has
had the effect of making them hostile TO
Americans. The clear and positive state
ment of the Supreme Court, however, as
to what the intention Of the United
States is, and what their rights are in the
island under the constitution and the
laws, ought TO remove every doubt from
their minds that American occupation of
the island will cease just as soon as
capable and stable government is es-
tablished there.
As to how soon such a government will
be established will depend TO a very con-
siderable extent upon the Cubans them
selves. 1t is certain that the United
States will not accept the judgment Of
Cubans as to when a stable government
has been established. They viii act upon
their own judgment. They will insist
upon being satisfied that the government
is able to prevent revolutions and dis
orders of all kinds.
1t is probable that when the Cubans
become thoroughly satisfied that there is
no doubt about their having their indie
pendence the sentiment in favor of annex
alton will become much stronger than it
is. Even now very large number of
the property owners and business men
prefer annexation, and are quietly ex-
erting their influence for IT, They know
that the island would be far more pros
than as an independent state because
there would be a greater feeling OF Sc
curity the expenses of government would
be less and the conditions for commerce
would be more favorable. There is no
use, however, talking about annexation
until the Cubans have given independence
a trial
Some of the leading Cubans seem to
think that their sugar and tobacco will be
permitted to enter the United States free
of duty. 1t is hardly probable that Cuba
will be so fortunate as to receive such
concession as that. If Cuba were to be
annexed there would of course be FREQ
trade between Cuba and this country. In
that case the products of the island would
be worth great deal more to the pro-
ducers than they are under present con-
ditions. Our government however, will
hardly give up revenue amounting to mil
lions of dollars year without some com
pensating advantage. If Cuba wants free
trade with this country let her ask for
annexation. BY becoming part of the
United States she will not only get a
free market for her products, but she will
get a government better than she can
provide for herself and, that too. at a
small fraction of the cost of self-govern-
ment.

1901.

From the London Saturday Review.
An age too great for thought of ours to
scan,
A wave upon the sleepless sea of time
That sinks and sleeps forever, ere the
chime
Pass that salutes with blessing, not with
ban,
The dark year dead, the bright year born
for man.
Dies all its days that watched man
COVER and climb,
Frail as the foam, and as the sun sub
lime,
Sleep sound as they that slept ere these
began.
Our mother earth, whose ages none may
tell,
Puts on no change: time bids not her
wax pale
Or kindle, quenched or qulckened, when
the knell
Sounds. and we cry across the veering
gale
Farewell-and midnight answers us
FAREWELL
Hail-and the heaven of morning an
swers, Hail.

The report of vital statistics of Havana
for the month of December, 1900 by the
chief sanitary officer of the army, shows
that there has been a marked decrease In
deaths from yellow fever. both as com
pared with the month preceding and De-
cember of 1899. There We're slxty-two
cases of the fever last month, and twenty
deaths. Consumption is prevalent in the
city, there being sixty-eight deaths from
that disease during the month. The i'm
migration into the island continues heavy,
there having arrived more than 400 i'm
migrants from Spain in December. The
sanitary officer notes, in this connection,
that pretty much all of the yellow fever
that has developed recently has been
among the newly arrived Spanlards.
There were 1905 births recorded during
the month and 4s5 deaths. The registra-
tion of births, however, was above the
normal, owing to the fact that the time
for registering births that We're not regis
tered during the war expired on Jan. !.
1901, and all births that had not been
recorded before were brought in and reg
istered in December.
