sale of beer, wine and intoxicating

direct results OF Mr.. Whiteside's visit
to St. Louis and Chicago may be one
of peculiar and absorbing interest to
not only the zinc smelling industry in
Cherryvale but also of the entire state
of Kansas and other states. His OBJ
iect in visiting Chicago at this time
was to look after the Edgar Zinc com
pany's interests in a suit brought
against the Lanyon Zinc company
and the Pittsburg Foundry and Ma
chine Works 10y Horace II. Brown,
patcntee OF the Brown roasting
furnace.
This suit, with other similar ones
against alleged iniringers of this pat
ent, has been pending for some time
and it is expected it will come up for
trial at Topeka the l4th of this month.
The Edgar Zinc company has the eX-
elusive right to the use of this roast
ing furnace in Kansas, Missouri and
other western states, inasmuch as it
implies to roasting zinc ore, and it is
claimed that the Lanyon Zinc company
is using the same furnaces or practical
ly the same and which infringe on the
patent rights in the lola shelters and
others.
"The outcome of the case will be
looked for with considerable interest
for should the result be favorable to
Brown, it would give the Edgar Zinc
company what in popular parlance is
known as "strong edge" and it is
permissible to supposethat they would
use it in some way advantageous to
themselves.

JUDGE TAFFS NEW DUTIES.
His Authority as Civil Governor OF
the Philippines Defined.

Ihe hrst step toward the inauguration
OF central civil government in the Phil
fppine Islands was taken yesterday by
the issuance of an executive order ap-
pointing Judge William II. Taft to be Civil
Governor of the Philippine Archipelago.
The order provides for the inauguration
of Judge Taft on the Fourth of July, at
which time the Military Governor is to
be relieved of his civil duties. The order
calls for the retention of the Philippine
Commission and does not relieve Judge
Taft from his duties as president OF that
body. The Commission will continue as
heretofore to enact legislation for the
Philippines, which viii be administered py
Judge Taft as Civil Governor. His au-
thority will be exercised under the IN
structions to the Philippine Commission
and his actions will be subject TO the ap-
proval and control of the Secretary oil
War. The order says:
"On and after the Fourth of July,
1901, and until it shall be other-
wise ordered, the President OF the
Philippine Commission will exer,
else the executive authority in an
civil affairs in the government OF the
Philippine Islands heretofore exercised
in such affairs by the Military Gov
ernor of the Philippines, and TO that
end the Hon. William II. Taft, Presl-
dent of the said Commission, is hereby
appointed Civil Governor of the Phll-
-ippine Islands. Such executive au-
thority will be exercised under and IN
conformity to the instructions to the
Philippine Commissioners. dated April
T. 1900, and subject to the approVa!

of the Commission.
The Military Governor of the phil
ippines is hereby relieved from the per-
furmance, on and after the said 4th day
of July, of the civil duties herein de-
scribed, but his authority will con-
tinue to be exercised, as heretofore, in
those districts in which insurrection

desire such teaching. Anybody who
has had experience in teaching KNOWS
that a born instructor can, if necessary
teach common branches without any
books at all. 1t was said of one Amer"
lean college president that log, with
him seated on one end and student on
the other. constituted a university. II
might be added that without just TINS
talent in the teacher, all the appliances
and text books which can be gathered
into a room are practically rubbish so
far as young children are concerned.
With them the personality of the teach-
er is everything; the text book noth-
ing. 1t is not too much to say that with
competent teachers in the grammar
grades it would not greatly matter
whether the ld-fashioned "McGuffey's
Reader and "Colburn's Arithmetic or
the latest publications were used Ge-
ography and the natural sciences re-
quire, fer obvious reasons, text books
which are up to date; but it will not
take any longer to teach child the al
phabet with a blackboard and q. piece
of chalk than with the latest improved
chart, and the child will know just as
much about it afterward.s The same Is
true of the rudiments of arithmetic.
The citizens of Smithville will do well
to secure thoroughly competent teach
ers. who will teach the children so that
they will learn, not cram, their lessons.
and never forget what they have once
been taught, and the text books may be
old fashioned or new fashioned without
much difference in the result. The
thing which is important is that every
child shall. on leaving the grammar
school. be able to read with good ac-
cent, write good hand, use the Eng
lish language correctly. spell correctly,
and be acquainted with the main facts
of geography and American history.
More than all this, it is desirable that
they be interested in learning for its
own sake. AS things are now, the aver
age child regards school as bore, and
is so crammed with things that do not
matter as to forget most ii its expen-
sively acquired knowledge in year or

BRADsTREEIS ON THE WEEK.
The Trade Situation strong. Improv-
ing Along Certain Lines

<hhphS StEt1tn
NEW YORK, June a.-Bradstreet' to-
morrow will say:
The situation is one of sustained
strength in some lines and of further i'm
provement in others. The crop situation,
of course, remains the main subject of
interest and this. on the whole is a good
one. although too much rain in the South
Atlantic States and too little in Texas,
with the lack of warm weather for corn
in the Northy est, have constituted ex-
eeptfons to otherwise favorable advices
Stock speculation. though quiet shows
few symptoms of weakness. despite the
fact that large dividend requirements
on July l have tended to harden money
rates. Clearings are still of very large
volume, proof of the heavy volume of gem
eral trade. and railroad earnings continue
to surpass all records.
Perhaps the most significant feature
noted for some time past Is that presented
this week in regard to the prices of n
number of leading commodities Cotton
goods, notably print cloths, bleached
goods, and number of kindred products.
have advanced this week, and an increase
in the price of the raw material is as
much due to the better trade advices at
home and abroad as to crop damage re-
ports from the South.
Hides and leather long threatening an
advance, have at last succeeGed in this
respect, and in addition, corn and oats
among the cereals, lard among the hog
products, cheese among dairy products,
and coffee and tea are all higher on the
week, the only important reduction being
in wheat, due mainly to liquidation of the
July option as much as to continued good
crop advices. European advices favor the
idea that the continent of Europe will be
heavy buyer the coming cereal year.
Iron and steel lose nothing In strength
as the turn of the year approaches. Re
ports of activity in pig iron at the close
of last week are confirmed, and Pittsburg
advices are of sales of fully 1900 tons of
Bessemer pig and of considerable guam
titles of other iron. Foundry pig is re-
ported in better call at some markets.
No demand for finished material is quiet
as whole. There is a better feeling in
Southern pig iron markets.
Cotton goods agents report an active
enquiry for nearly all classes of cotton
goods, but stock are small, and this limits
business. In some lines, in fact, the mar
ket is completely cleaned up. Print cloths
are higher on the week, an actual ad-
vance of lie cent having been secured at
higher at New York. Stock taking sales
have been feature with jObbers, and a
good distribution has resulted at New
York and other Eastern centres.
''Jobbing business at the West has also
enlarged. partly because of recorders from
the interior but also because of a better
run of business on fail account. Raw
cotton is Il cent higher and the July
option is again reported cornered. Crop
advices on the whole have favored the
bulls.

and phrases which ought TO have been
drilled out of them in primary schools.
These structures do not refer to the
picturesque American idioms which are
part of our life, and only add piquancy
to our speech: nor to those slight pro-
vincial peculiarities which serve to dis
tinguish the Westerner from the Bos-
tonian. the New York man from the in
habitant of Louisiana. They refer to
actual blunders and inaccuracies which
are not beautiful in themselves nor dear
on account Of association.
Who. for example. will defend the in
sertion of an extra vowel in such words
as now and found" so that they
would phoneticaIly be spelled 'naow'
or "feound?' Yet this is one of the
commonest mispronunciations in our
speech. One can hardly ride three
blocks on a Washington street car
without hearing something like this:
Its tiew bad that she should haf tub work
hahd, don't chew think SO? There don seem
need for it naow."
Any grammar school pupil can find
one mistake in grammar and one in
rhetoric in this little speech, but prob
ably not one in three would notice any
thing wrong with the accent in either
sentence. Yet it is an essentially uncul-
tivated accent. The twisting of the
sound of low" ought to be shihhf lets
in cultivated society
Some of these faults of accent are
merely siipshod pronunciation. 1t is
eaZler to say halter" than have to-
to say "didju' than did you;" to say
"lawg'' than shorten the word to log" 4"
There seems to be an inexplicable ten
dency on the part of the careless speak
er to save time by clipping his words in
the wrong place, and use it up by
lengthening his vowels in another
wrong place.
