A Story About the Duke.

The Duke Of Cornwall is devotcdly
loved in loyal Bermuda, where as a
growing boy ne once passed a happy
winter. relates The Youths Compan-
ion. one Of his favorite comrades
there was little girl whose great
grandfather had fought side by side
with Wolfe upon the Plains OF Abra-
ham. She used to push her little rock
ing chair close beside that " the prince
and laborlously time her small rockers
with those OF his larger chair.
I'VE rock together, Prince George"
she used 10 chatter always toy 'lcr,'
thrustlng difference OF rank Into nat
limbo reserved for sophisticated adults.
Another fayorte of the prince was a
young American girl who discovered
him I'm the admlrals hallway one day
Juggling at his gloves.

as he looked at her bare hands, "only |
promised grandmother that would"
A letter from Queen Victoria gave
the royal boy much pleasure, but on
being asked II he would sell II for l.
be eagerly accepted the offer whereup-
on he answered the letter with com
mendable promptness, urging his dear
grandmother please to write again"
The death OF his older brother some
years later and the recent death OF the
queen materially changed the career OF
the youth TO whom the American girl
said you. and he said you to me" On
his return from the tour OF the British
colonies he will receive the honored H.

Hoo Tea In summer.

There is one class OF citizens In
Cleveland that is always cool. no mat
ter how warm the rays from the sun
may make their nelghbors feel. In the
warm spells the Chinese residents OF
the city are never heard TO complain,
and while all other nationallties SEEM
ed to bc represented In the reports Of
deaths and heat victims the Celestial
alone seemed to possess immunity.
His GOODNESS Is due TO the fact that
he has an antidote for the heat In the
shape Of tea from his native land. and
he knows how to take It. The hotter
the day the warmer will be the ten
which he drinks In unstinted quanti-
ties
one Of the followers Of Confucius
who has an extended reputation for his
deXtcrity in mixing chop sOoy for the
cultivated taste OF actors and people
with Thcsplan tastes explained the
reason why none Of his people ever
suffer with heat. He also said that
during the hot weather none OF his
people ever eat any meat, and even the
odor Of yokomai has no temptation for
him. The philosophy Of the Chlnaman
is that the abstinence from meat and
the indulgence I'm the boiling tea act In
conjunction TO keep him from feeling
the heat. The ten Is supposed not only
to relieve all thirst, but TO induce n
Precipitation that I'm turn brings about a
lower temperature.
The Chinaman also escbews any at
tempt nj bathing during the heated
season and declares that this also con-
tributes TO his general chilly tempera-
ture He never hampers himself with
extra clothes and above all has never
learned to read a thermometer.-Cleye-

Its Representative Hints That Cues

One-Markham Says
City Is Safe.

There is a possibility that steps will
be taken today to enjoin the city from
entering into contract with the Ameri-
can Development company for gasoline
street lighting for next year.
Color was given to the rumor last night
when at the close of the assembly meet
ing Charles Patterson, the agent of the
Cleveland Vapor company, which has
been making herculean effort to have
all the bids rejected. was seen in earnest
conversation with an attorney.
'sThe controversy has resolved itself
into a legal proposition now" said Mr..
Patterson, significantly last night, when
questioned as to what steps he would
take. I'll know better tomorrow what
action I will take.
The Welsbach company, which is be-
hind the American Development COM
pany, is not on the best of terms with
the Cleveland firm, and merry war is
expected.
The city, Corporation Attorney Mark
ham stated to the assembly last night,
will lose nothing by any legal proceedings
that may be brought. No suit for dam
ages could result, the only action that
could be taken being the stoppage of the
signing of a contract until the courts
had passed on the legality of the coun-
-cifs right to reject the Cleveland com
pany's bid. In the event that no action
is taken by the Cleveland company.
Comptroller McCardy, 1t is reported, will
mix in by refusing to countersign the
contract.
The American Development company
says it is willing to take the risk, and
announces that it will protect it's rights
in every possible way.

SPOONER BILL BAD
HAS PUT THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS
BACK AT LEAST FIVE
YEARS
OPINION OF MAJOR COOKE
American Capital Must Be Given q
show Before the Islands
Can Boom Com
mercialiy.
OPINION OF MAJOR COOKE

Maj. Cooke, of the Twenty-sixth infan-
try, at present stationed in the Philip
pines, was in st. Paul yesterday on his
way to Washington on leave of alb
sence Maj. Cooke was formerly major
of the Third infantry. which was for
many years stationed at Fort Smelling
He is now senior major of the Twenty
sixth.
Mai. Cooke was frozen up all the time
he was here, as he has not had a day
of cold weather since ne went to the ISL
ands three years ago. The major says
that the weather in the Philippines is
not so injurious when proper care IS
taken of the person. Attention to diet
and clothing. he says. makes the Islands
habitable The fact that SO many of the
soldiers are broken physically, he as
cribes to their INDUCING in native
drinks, which are of peculiarly fero-
cious character Maj. Cooke says the
comlnssary department of the army in
the Philippines is ahead of all other de-
partments, and furnishes the army with
refrigerated meats from Australia, and
as long as the soldiers confine themselves
to the commiSSary they are as healthy
as in any camp in the United States.
Mai. Cooke thinks that If the natives
were properly drilled and efficient OIL
GERS placed over them they might pos
sibly make good soldiers, but they lack
initiative, and left to themselves; tncy
never rise above bushwhackers.
Maj Cooke believes the Spooner Dnl to
be a great drawback to the islands Said
he yesterday:
1.-THE Spooner bill has set the islands
back fully five years, as it has the effect
of keeping out American capital Amer
lean capital must he given show in
the Philippines before any great good
can be accomplished. The Spanish gov
eminent granted immense concessions to
foreign governments and American cap
ital is shut out Americans pay the bills
and the foreigners reap the profits. Take,
for instance, the island of Negroes. Ii
American capital could be brought in
there the island would produce enough
sugar to control the markets of the
world, and it can be raised there so per
cent cheaper than in Hawaii. We have
to Americanize the islands in more ways
than one
