Judge W. N. Robinson OF the Missouri
Supreme Court. IL a recent interview %critici.
ses severely the decision Of the court. known
as the secret ballot decision. wherein the court.
by a majority Of It's members, hold that the
ballot boxes cannot be opened and the ballots
compared with the polling lists. No matter
how much evidence may Ike otherwise pro-
duced to establish the frauds hid within the
lids Of the boxes.
The Judge says: 1T is beyond my under
standing how there can be q secret ballot a.

ing lists. Its no new thing by any means and
cannot for the world see how the court can
reconcile It's action in this case with its rulings
in the other cases. Ballot boxes have been
opened in many counties Of the state and the
results certified to the court in a legal manner.
Just Why St. Louis should be Disseminated
against cannUt understand. There II no
such thing as a secret fraud that I know Of
permitted by law.
And again. the court orders the election
commissioners to open the ballot boxes and
inspect the ballots under the proper secrecy.
yet l, refuses permission 10 compare these
ballots with the registration lists. There reg.
~is,ration lists are convenemces. They are
public property. and may be examined at any
time by the public. The comparison Of The
ballots in those boxes Is the only method by
which the fraud may he discovered aud the
result of the election accurately determined.
Any other opinion than that. I think i based
on partizanship.
The opinion ri the court can't stand The
next thing you will see is a reversal If that
opinion.
The refusal of the c,urt TO permit an -x-
animation and comparison Of the ballots with
the registration lists is nothing more than a
judicial excuse. a judicial pardon IN advance
of a criminal act. That is all it is"
This is strong critiscism from a member Of
the court, and one who i C msidered ~ one Of
the ablest members OF the court. but ''desper

At night the guest will be escorted to
the door Of his room, where the bed
has been prepared and all Filipino
luxuries provided. He will be asked
when he wishes "dcsayuno" the first

then a native servant will be sent to
his room to wait upon him by inches,
help him to undress, pour out his water
and finally to spread a bamboo mat on
the floor Mt the foot of the bed and
sleep there, so that he can be called
if anything is desired in the night. In
fact, when enjoying Filipino hospital
ity the great danger is that the guest
will suffer from too much attention
and be killed by kindness, which is al
ways slightly tempered with curiosity.
Still, this sincere trait is one which
every traveller and sojourner in the
Philippines cannot help but admire.

Deaths Of English Monarchs.

| OF the monarchs who have relgned
over England since the days of the
Norman conquest nearly one-quartcr
Of the number have met with violent
death. William !. was killed by a fall
from his horse, William III. was shot
while hunting, whether by accident or
design is still one of the unsolved prob
lens Of history; Richard I. was killed
by a shaft from a crOssbow while be-
sieging the city of Chaluz, in France;
Richard ii. was murdered in P0nte-
tract castle, Edward ii. was murdered
in Berkley castle, and Edward V. in
the Tower of London, Richard III.
was killed on the battlefield of Bos-
worth and Charles /. had his head cut
off in London.
Elizabeth's death was FASTENED by
rcmOrse that she had ordered the exc

sickened and died soon after the loss
Of Calais, declaring that the name Of

Edward ILLS son, the Black Prince,
caused the aged monarch to die Of
grief. So, after the loss Of his son in
the White Ship, Henry l. was never
seen to smile again and lived only
short time. Henry W. and George
III. were insane during the latter years
of their reigns and finally died from
what in these days would be called
. paresis. Charles H., Henry Will, Ed
ward Nv. and George Nv. hastened
their deaths by the dissipated and SEN
sual lives they lived. Only two mon
archs died Of that. great national
scourge, consumption; they were Ed
ward vi. and Henry VII. Queen
Anne's death was due as much as any,
thing else to overlooking. Only two
monarchs, Henry vi. and George ILL.,,
died after long illnesses.

Filipino Hospitality.

In summing up the good and bad
qualities of the Filipinos, too much
cannot be said of their hospitality. 1t
may be called their great national vir-
tue. The inspiration of this trait may
have come from the Spanish, but it
fell on fruitful soil, says the New
York Tribune.
This trait is not confined to the up
per classes or those who can afford to
make some display in their homes and
some effort at entertainment. 1t is
found among the lowest and the poor
est as well. These people will share
with the stranger who comes to their
little hut Of bamboo and nipa their last
bowl Of rice and their last little fish,
and will make room for him over night
on the floor Of the house, where all
the family sleep side by side. The
family may be "insulrectos" and the
visitor may be an American, but he is
not likely to meet with any harm
Willie under their roof.
When travelling in the Philippines
one is always sure that he can find
shelter for the night and a share Of
the best that a community affords. In
the houses of those who are well to
do the best room will be placed at the
disposal of the unexpected and I'M
known guest, and he will be enter
tained by the various members Of the
family to the best of their ability. If
the daughters have been to one of the
convent schools and have learned to
play upon the piano, they will play
their most difficult pieces and some
times the playing is really fine, for the
Filipinos are among the most natural
musical peoples of the world, and will
often perform well in spite of medi-
ocre instruction. A piano is one Of the
first things that well to do native
family buys. The singing is not likely
to be as pleasant as the playing on
the piano, for few natives have good
voices.
While the family holds the guest in
conversation the sonora hurries off to
the kitchen to see that several extra
dishes are added to the already gen.

give their lives for freedom. The
words of Adams and Hancock were
taught us when we were children,
growing with our growth and strength
ening with our strength, and for the
first time in the history Of the repub-
lie we are confronted with an open
denial of their truth.
Coming here tonight to exalt and
glorify the deeds of these men, who
stood for the right Of government,
and to express our gratitude for what
they did, let us take the lesson of their
lives to heart, and do what we can to
extend to all peoples the blessings for
which they fought. We should stultify
ourselves if we did not remember the
immortal truths of the Declaration of
Independence, which have been em-,
phasized by every American citizen
from our earliest history. And when
it is sought to foist upon our theory
and practice of government a denial Of
the right of self-government, it is our
duty to insist that every people the
broad world over shall have the privi
leges which the shots echoing around
the world proclaimed to be the rights
Of all mankind"
Rev. Father Bodfish referred in
opening to the object Of the organiza-
ton, which, he said, is to secure for
the Irish Catholics full credit for the
part they took in securing for the
country the blessings of liberty and
independence. He was glad that the
barriers Of prejudice are being gradu-
| ally broken down. Speaking of his
recent trip to Porto Rico and. Cuba,
Father Bodfish said:
"Under the old conditions the peo-
pie Of these islands were happy and
contented. Now comes a total rever-
sion. The nuns and priests are being
driven out Of the schools, and a lot of
New England schoolmarms, who can
not speak the language and have no
sympathy with the people, are taking
their places. There is not a single
Catholic. appointed in the schools. The
object is to force upon the people the
American system Of education. The
result is great irritation and discon-
tent. Is this civilization?
"The natives are forced to emigrate.
Their markets have been taken away.
They are starving. Are we going to
civilize them by exterminating them
as we did the American Indians?"
In conclusion Father Bodfish COM
planned that there is not single Cath
olic on the Philippine commission, and
urged that Catholics should make their
influence felt to have this condition of
things remedied. He felt that Catho-
lies have a right to be represented in
this country's new territorial acquisi-
tions.
Judge O'Brien in the course Of his
interesting address said:
eve are not gathered here tonight
to point out invidious distinctions, or to
take to ourselves the credit Of having
brought about the splendid achieve
ments which resulted in the establish
ment of this nation, but rather to point
out how far we may have aided in the
establishment of liberty. In as far as

The Family Library.

The library is now within the
reach of all classes COMPETE
ton between the publishers and
the multiplicity of authors has
forever banished the day when
a small volume was a luxury,
and the books-stalls have placed
treasures of literature where the
poor may reach them. The
poor in purse may become the
rich in spirit. Books are SO
cheap that they often materialize
in the hands of those who love
them; and sometimes the posses
sor hardly knows how or whence
they came. So the library has
not only become a feature Of the
home, but a necessity. The col
lection of books is bound to be
made. 1t comes without effort.
THERE'S always room for one
more book, aud the first thing
you know there is caseful, and
by and by the case runs ever
and another case materializes
from where. Maybe the family
carpenter nails it together, and
some one else gives it a coat of
paint; later OF the books crowd
that case; finally there is room>
tul, and 10 ! you have a library.
You make room for the books
you love. ~Haryot Holt Cahoon

A huge Bear in the Heart OF
Washington.

At 4 o'clock Saturday nom
ing the entire town was thrown
in a state of high confusion and
fright by the appearance of a
large bear. 1t seems that about
o'clock this bear came across
the river and landed at the mars
ket dock and entered the mar
ket, no doubt in search of fresh
beef; but finding none proceeded
TO look for some breakfast at Mr..
7. II. Blount's hen coop. Just
as the milk man began milking
the COWS the alarm was made by
Mr.. Henry Blount sending
phone message to Mr.. Eugene
Phillips for men and dogs. The
bear after killing eight or ten
chickens for Mr.. Elount made
his way back to the river and
just as he had reached the corner
of Main and Harvey streets and
at the corner of Mr. B. F. Sugg's
lot he was attacked by Messrs.
J. S. Campbell aud Walter
Spencer and after a severe fight
and a bad blow on head Of the

Is a Good Breakfast Necessary?
Yes.

\ good breakfast is the physi-
cal basis of a days work. The
American breakfast regarded
with SO much horror on the
European continent, has con-
trlbuted largely to make the
nation what it is today. 1t en-
abled our fore-fathers to do an
amount of work which it appals
foreigners to contemplate.

wrong with the man, or with
ais habits, if be cannot eat a
good breakfast. A man who
works at high tension all through
the morning hours without this
substantial foundation is work.

That means disordered nutrition,
and sooner Or later, bankruptcy
and collapse.
Ii a man gets up in the morn
ing with a bad taste and no in
cllnation for food, it is because
his system is full of waste and
his circulation of distractions.

Under Two Flags.

1t is said that Under Two Flags
which appears at Opera House on next
night Sept. eth, is one of the
strongest military plays now before
the public. 1t has the novelty of hav-
ing most of its scenes laid in Africa,
the land of desert waste and negroes.
The story of the play is full of dramat-
ic Incidents and humorous situations.
1t is mounted in an artistic manner, the
company carrying all of its own seen
cry and costumes. Horse races. sand
storms and the rattle of musketry, the
enthusing music of drum and fife and
bugle. are situations that are brought
out wildly. giving the clever COM
pany a foundation upon which to build
a pretty picture of humorous AMI pa
thetic Incidents. Leon NJ. Hattenbach
as BERTHE Cecil. and Louise McCallum
as Cigarette" are capable ad clever
artists and lend full force to their re,
spective roles. This play has had a
successful run of $50 nights in New
York City.

vENISON WHICH THE

A.. J. Hull. John Davis (the fireman)
and Joe Small returned yesterday from
a successful hunting trip near Medi-
cine Bow. having succeeded in killing
three nice antelope. On the way 10 the
city the brakeman on their train
thought to play a joke on the hunters.
but had the tables turned OF him. The
hunters had placed their game on a
coal car some distance from the en-
CINE so that it would keep cool and
fresh and there left it. A brakemen.
thinking the sportsmen were out of
sight. took one of the antelope and
carried it into the caboose. supposing
the party would think the animal had
fallen from the car and hat he (the
brakeman would have venison to dis
tribute among his friends. Nothing
was said about the matter until the
city was reached, when Messrs. Small
and Davis took charge of the two re-
naming animals and Mr.. Hull. with
rifle in hand, quietly walked up to the
brakeman at the caboose and told him
he IA ready to receive his antelope.
The game was up and the brakeman
delivered.
