INV IN concerning the alleged friction
II v IN between the civil and military
authorities in the Philippines,
declared that perfect harmony pre-
vailed General Chaffee said that the
only occasion when there had been any
thing approaching friction was in the
matter of habeas corpus proceedings in
the case of Oakley Brooks, and that on
this occasion a solution Of the difficulty
satisfactory to both authorities had been
found. General Chaffee said that he and
the members of the commission had at
times differed in their views, but that
these differences were of purely personal
opinion. His relations with Governor
Taft and Acting Governor Wright and
the other commissioners were,' officially
and socially, extremely pleasant and he
believed the published statement of fric-
ton between the civil and military au-
thorities here must have resulted from a
misunderstanding of the facts.
General Chaffee further explained that
every time the slightest friction had
arisen in the province between the two
military to surrender to the civil authOri-
ties General Chaffee concluded by say
Ing he thought the prospect of subduing
the insurrection in all places to be prom
ising.
Wright Confirms Chaffee.
When Acting Governor Wright was
questioned in this same matter, he said:
Where men of sense are at the head
of affairs there is not likely to be much
cause for alarm friction
Governor Wright has great admiration
for General Chaffee, whom he considers
to be a man of sound common sense. He
said that although he and General Chat
fee frequently differed radically upon va
rious subjects still the most amicabIe re-
lations were maintained under all eircum-
stances.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-Both the SER

ter and the Army and Navy Journal, in
their issue comment adversely on the
reprimand administered by Secretary
Root to Lieutenant General Miles. The
Journal says:
According to the army regulations, a repri-
mand such as was administered to the lieu
tenant general can only be administered on the
verdict of a cOurt-martiaI. Even a non-com-
missiOned officer is under the protection of the
regulations, which direct officers to be cautious
in reproving him in the presence or hearing o:
private soldiers. Is it not incumbent that at
least equal consideration should be shown to tbe

The Wrong Poet.

An amusing story is told concerning
connection of the famous poet, AL
gernon Charles Swinburne. This young
man owns the same initials as his
illustrious relative, and some time ago
he went out to Melbourne, giving his
name, of. course, in the passengers
list Of the vessel by which he travelled
as A. G. Swinburne. When the Mel
bourne and Sydney. newspapers re-
ceiyed this list, they Immediately jump
ed to the conclusion that the great man
himself was about to visit Australia.
They thereupon printed columns of
eulogy and delighted anticipation, and
went the length of declaring that the
pulse of all Australians would tlrob
faster, and their hearts would be glad
dened at the very thought of visit
from such a famous bard. When the
vessel arrived it was promptly boarded
by eager intervfewers and paragraph
lists. Then the, young man came for
ward, politely explained himself, and
was allowed to leave the ship in the
utter privacy and oblivion that he de-
sired.

WHAT is A THEATER TICKET 2
A Que ,tion that a Washington Court

| Little attention has been paid to a
case recently decided at Washington
! that involved the rights of theater man.
ager and patron. A negro bought a
seat on the lower floor Of a Washington
theater and attended performance.
During the evening the manager re-
| quested the negro to relinquish his
place and leave the theater, Offering
him the money that had been paid fer
| the ticket. This was refused and the
negro was elected. A suit for dam
ages resulted. The plaintiff in this case
did not take action under the civil
rights law, and only set forth his al
legged rights as citizen to occupy
place in a theater upon payment of the
usual fee. The defense took the ground
that ticket for a reserved seat is mere
~ license revokable at the will of the
manager in whose theater it is sold
Upon return of its price.
This contention, which is generally
held by managers and in many cases
put into words on the tickets sold, did
not stand in court, where 1t was de-
clared that a ticket-holder of a reserved
seat in a theater has rights similar to
those of lessee for specified term,
subject only to the managers police
power to enforce order and maintain
decency on his premises. Going fur
Their than this, the trial court cited an
opinion that prevails in the United
States Supreme Court to the effect that
manager of place of amusement to
which the public is invited to come on
payment for places is not private en-
terprise owing no duty to its patrons,
but place clothed with a public in
terest because used in a manner to
make it Of public consequence and to
affect the community at large" This
disposes effectively OF the idea that has
come to prevail among certain manag-
ers that the operation of theater Is

yided with connections for tubing, a
spiritlamp and rubber bulb with
tubing attached. 1t is also necessary
to have some alcohol and naphtha. Be
sure to have the naphtha bottle tightly
corked and never open it in a room
where there is light or the smallest
spark of fire, as it is very infammable,
The alcohol also should be handled
with care. To do variety of poker
work an outfit of several points is
necessary, but it is well for the begin
ner to have at least two, as illustrated
in Figs c and d.. The first Of these, C,
is the more important, as with it both
outlining and shading can be done,
but the second is better for back
grounds.
Before attempting a design the be-
ginner should practice on a smooth
pine board or piece Of whitewood,
which is better, as the finer grain makes
practice easier. To light the point put
some cotton wool in the naphtha bottle
and fill the bottle about one-third full
of naphtha. Connect the bottle with
the cork handle and with the bulb by
the rubber tubing, hold the point in
the fame of the spirit lamp until it Is
thoroughly heated and blow gently by
pressing the bulb until the point be-
comes redhot. The point may now be
withdrawn from the flame, and it's
heat can be kept up and regulated by
the pressure on the bulb, which forces
the vapor of the naphtha through the
tubing into the point, where 1t burns.
The lamp may now be extinguished.
The object of the cotton wool In the
bottle is to give more evaporating sur
face. Fig. a shows the apparatus.
Sometimes a foot bellows Gig. b. is
used instead of the hand bellows. This
ator both hands for work.
Now grasp the cork handle, not too
near the hot point, and try to make
true, even lines on the pine board.
This at first is very difficult, for an in
stant's delay in the touch of the point
will make hole or deep dot in the
wood, and the line will resemble
smudge. To overcome this first trou-
BILE bring the point upon the board
with a sweep off the hand and lift it
off in the same way. Keep this sweep
as even and light as possible until you
have firm, clean line. The beginned
will succeed more easily If the point
is not too hot.
Try different lines as you would
learn to shade with lead pencil.
Make parallel lines, long and short.

Designs are to be used in the follow
