Beyond the sorcerer's Power.

A man who was very old and very
rich loved a girl who was young and
beautiful, says the Chicago Record
Herald. He tried to persuade her 10
be his darling, but she refused because
she had money of her own. In a dozen
ways the old man sought to win her
affection. always to find that she
shrank from him.
One day he met a dark gentleman
with pointed goatee, who said he was
a sorcerer.
MAKE me young and handsome, so
that 1 may win the love of the maiden
l ADORE" the old man cried, land ]
will pay you any price you ask"
Il have but one price for such a
service" the sorcerer answered, land
that is all you possess"
The old man eagerly agreed to the
terms, and was at once made young
handsome and penniless. Then he
sought the beautiful maiden and be-
gan to WOO her. She fell in love with
him at once, and they were married.
AS soon as they got settled down he
having come to realize how handsome
he was, began to think he might have
done better If he had not been in such
a hurry. Two years after the we'd
ding they We're divorced and the man
who had once been old started forth
to win new conquests; but he had not
gone far when a cyclone overlook him.
He emerged from it deformed in body
and disfgured in face.
Later he met the sorcerer, who asked
us there anything I can do for you %
Yes" was the answer, '.show me
how to let well enough alone"
But the sorcerer shook his head and

Hotel, in Washington" said Amos j {.
Cummings. who has just resumed his
seat in Congress according to the New
York Times, ''were John Allen, the
Mississippi wit; Senator Vest, and sew
eral other men of more or less national
distinction, when the conversation
turned upon violin music. Vest is noted
for his skill with the horsehair bow,
and the upshot OF the discussion was
that he challenged me to a duel on the
violin.
Il sent a servant around to a pawn
shop and got an instrument which
looked as II 1t had been used to bail
out boat. Vest had a 'Strad,' or a
Guarnarius, or an Amati, and he play

LINING UP FoR A EIGHT.

The two reports on the Philippine
tariff bill made by the Ways and
Means Committee-the majority and
the minority reports-indicate pretty
clearly that the two great parties are
getting ready for an interesting de-
bate on the Philippine question. II is
plain from the majority report that
the Republicans intend to treat the
Philippines as colonies, while the po-
sition of the Democrats, as disclosed
in the minority report, is the same
as that set forth in the Democratic
national platform.
The Democrats point out that the
tariff measure is but another step in
the well marked line of Imperialism"
and that it is in the direction of pure
colonialism. There is no doubt that
the Democrats state the exact fact
The Republicans claim that II this
country is to give the islands a
government, educate the children and
make public improvements 1t must
have a revenue. and they propose to
get it from duties on imports. On the
other hand the Democrats object to
the entire Philippine policy of the Re
publicans, not only because 1t is IN
just to the Filiplnos. but also because
the tendency of it is to change the
character of our own institutions. They
believe that the Filipinos ought to be
informed that it is our purpose to pro-
vide them with a stable government
and then to give them their independ-
ence.
An interesting feature of the two
reports is that Massachusetts Re-
publican member of the committee
voted with the Democrats for the NIL
nority report while a Louisiana Dem
ocrat voted with the Republicans for
the majority repG.t. 1t is the under
standing that the Louisiana Democrat
acts with the Republicans because he
doesn't want the Philippine sugar ad-
mitted to our market free of duty.
And this action raises this question,
namely, what effect is this Philippine
question going to have on the political
situation in the South? The statement
- AhoNC lAidb dA Va lhC AACAhOClS VI
the Louisiana delegation in Congress
are going to vote with the Republi-
cans on this tariff measure. They are
of the opinion that the interests of
their state require them to do so.
1t has not been so very long since
at a meeting of Southern cotton mill
men resolutions were adopted which
seemed to favor the Republican method
of dealing with the Philippines. Sem
ator McLaurin of South Carolina is
stalking his political future on the be-
lief that a very large percentage of
the Democrats Of the South is in favor
of the Philippine policy of the Repub-
licans. We do not believe that he is
right, though there is no doubt that
Southern cotton manufacturers are of
the opinion that 1t would be to their
interest for the United States to re-
tain permanent possession Of the Phil
ippines. The debate on the Philippine
tariff bill, which will be largely for
the benefit of the people and not for
the enlightenment Of Congress, will
doubtless disclose clearly just what
positions the Republicans and Demo
| Gratis propose to occupy respect
ing the Philippines in the Congress
ional campaign, which is now in pro-
gress.

Lonx-nistnnce weening.

A very affecting incident occurred in
this city a few days ago. which in
cidentally proved expensive to the man
who brought it about says the Port
land Oregonian.
A number Of years ago two little girls
in this city were left orphans, and
though in no way related, were by
chance brought up and kindly cared for
by the same person. A strong affec-
ton grew up between the two girls,
which was warmer from the fact that
neither had parents or brothers or sis
tiers to lavish their affections upon,
and their love grew and strengthened
as they came to womanhood. Finally
some turn of the wheel of fortune sep
arated them. One remained in Port
land, and in due time was happily
married. The other went away ''up
country" and finally was also happily
married. An intimate correspondence
was kept up between the two for a
few years, but was finally dropped ow-
ing to changes of location, and years
passed without either seeing or hearing
of the other. A short time ago the
one living in Portland heard that the
other, with her husband, had taken up
her residence in a town only 100 miles
or so from this city. A great desire
~-~@N@-
over her, and she could not eat or sleep
on account of it. Circumstances rem
dered it impracticable that she should
go on a journey at the time, her hus-
band suggested that she have a talk
with her friend over the long distance
telephone.
He rang up the distant city and
called for his wife's friend, and after
a reasonable time was notified that she
was at the phone. He then called his
wife to talk to her. and the following
conversation took place:
rs that you Sadie?"
Yes; is that you, Susie?"
yes"
Then both began crying for Joy and
kept it up for half an hour or more,
without being able to say a word. The
unfortunate man who had arranged the
interview seeing that his bill was
mounting up into the hundreds and bid
fair to continue to mount indefinitely,
called it off for the time and the two
friends continued to cry without ex-
pense. A meeting between the two
friends has been arranged for, as
neither of their husbands is willing to
take the chances of financial ruin by
allowing them to tackle the long-dis-
lance telephone again.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Charleston News and Courier
(Dem.) says Of the opinion of Admiral
Dewey in the Schley case: And that
is the verdict OF the American people,
and the appeal must be made and will
be made from the decision of the court
through Congress to the people. The
case will not be settled until 1t is set
tied right, and 1T will not be settled
right until the combinations which
have been made to control the naval
establishment of our country in GER
tain interests have been utterly over
thrown"
The Cincinnati Enquirer Dem }
says: Senator wellington has the
present and another session of Con-
gress to serve through. His pros
pect would not be so unhappy, IL he
had merely thought and not expressed
himself. Some OF the most success
full public men in the country are
those who have been sparing in con-
versation and Oratory. Mr.. yelling
ton can never forget the soliloquy
OF the parrot after the encounter
with the dog"
The Chattanooga Times Dem }
says: apply to every great corpora
ton doing an interstate business es-
sentially the rules of publicity OF su-
pervision and inspection now applied
to the national banks. and 80 per cent.
OF all the real evils of the system of
concentration as IL now exists will
disappear almost instantly"
The Chicago Chronicle says: Ger
man doctors may get excited because
OF the enormous increase OF quacks,
hut they do not seem to rise to the
profundity OF truth that advertising
pays. According 10 the regular school
a 'quack' Is doctor who is short
on professional ethics and long Oh
practice"

HoAR,s ANTI-LYNoHING BILL,

1t is doubtful if Senator Hoar thinks
that Congress will pass his bill to give
the Federal Courts authority to try
lynching cases and to make the crime
of participating in lynchings punisha-
BILE by death. What he desires, doubt
less, is an opportunity to talk to the
country from his place in the Senate
on the subject of lynchings. He can
not be in earnest in wanting to give
United States Courts jurisdiction of
this class of criminal cases. Lynchers
are In Just as much danger of being
tried and convicted in a state court
as they would be in a United States
Court. The grand and petit Juries in
the United States Courts are composed
OF pretty much the same class of men
as those in the state courts. And IT
is certain that United States judges
are no more strongly opposed to lynch
ings than are the judges of the state
courts.
What is needed is not severer punish
ment for lynchers nor a change of jur-
isdiction for lynching cases, but a
more earnest effort to convince the
people that better results are obtain
able by letting the law take it's course
than by resorting to violence. There
will never come time of course when
a man, whether he be a citizen of a
Northern or a Southern state, win not
insist upon having vengeance when
a member of his family has been made
the victim of lustful brute, but
public sentiment can be created that
will prevent mob from assisting him
to avenge his wrong.
AS a matter OF fact the belief is get
ting to be quite general that the Fed
eral Courts have now about all the
jurisdiction that they ought to have.
They viii take all they can get. and
do not need any assistance in that d.
rection from Senator Hoar or any 9TH
er member Of Congress.

Figures taken from the books and
papers captured in a policy raid in New
York the other day show that the prof
its of the syndicate running the games
have been s1,2O0o 900 to $1,000, 900 per
year for four years. The head of the
ring is credited with having gathered
in 100000 during the four years. The
profits averaged about $1,000 per day.
These figures must make the eyes of
some Of the Wall street fellows turn
green with envy.

Something over two months ago DR..
Robert Koch of Berlin caused a mild
sensation in the medical world by as
serting the non-intercommunieab
Of tuberculosis between kline and hu-
man beings. He said that the steriliza-
ton of milk was useless, as germs
from consumptive cow would have no
effect upon the human system. His po-
sition, If correct, was calculated to up
set the theory upon which medical
science has been proceeding for some
years in the investigation Of consump-
ton.
DR.. Kochs position was at once at
tackled, both in Europe and this coun-
try. The Medical Record for Novem-
Der contained an elaborate article
showing that Koch had really made no
new discovery; that years ago it had
been asserted there was no identity
between bovine and human tuberculo-
sis. but that the theory had been prov
ed fallacious in a number of instances
by eminent medical men. In 1889 Can
adam professor had advanced precise
ly the theory that Koch later laid claim
to, and at that time the matter was
pretty well threshed out.
Among those opposing DR.. Koch was
a DIR. Barney of New York. He believed
not only that consumption could be
transmitted from a COW to a human
being, but that he could cure the dis
ease after it had been caught. Having
to find a subject upon whom he might
make an experiment. He found one, in
the person of Miss Emma H. King,
a trained nurse of Brooklyn. Miss King
was in perfect health, but consented
to be inoculated with consumption
ed the risk, she said, in the interest Of
science, in the full knowledge that
death awaited her in case DR.. Barney
was right in his assertion that the
disease would be communicated and
wrong in his assertion that he could
cure 1t.
On Nov. % Miss King was inocu-
lated. Last week the disease made its
appearance in her lungs. Two physi-
clans of high standing examined her.
upon the request of DR.. Barney, and
certified that the right lung was mark
edly affected with consumption. This
is held to explode the Koch theory be-
yond all peradventure of doubt.
Now will follow what. to Miss King
at least, is the most important part
OF the test. the attempted cure. There
was some suggestion that the New
York Board Of Health might interfere
in the matter. so Dr. Barney has re-
moved Miss King to some unknown
place in New Jersey where he will not
be troubled. He is as positive that he
can cure her as he was that he could
make her sick. The public will watch
the case with interest and hope for it's
success. 1t is a desperate experiment.

would be an affair of some import
anee. They are the richest and most
progressive countries OF South Amer
ica- and each has considerable re-
sources. In military strength they are
not far from equal. Chile has bit
the larger army but Argentina has
the larger navy. The dispatches a few
days ago, however stated that Chile
had purchased, or ordered, three new
war vessels, which would bring her
strength on the water about up to
