-" Jerome,s Joke.
New York Times.I


APrOpos of the wave Of melodrama
now almost engulfng the local stage,
Justice Jerome recalls this story of his
father, the late Lawrence r. jerome,
who as Larry" Jerome was one of the
best known Of the old school Of practi-
cal jokers and "men about town" With
a friend Mr.. jerome was watching the
progress of a real heart-thriller of the
old days, the plot, of course, revolving
about the disposition Of a mortgage
that threatened to thwart the happi-
ness of the heroine-the charming Mrs.
John Hoey, in her day as popular as
any actress Of these times. With the
plot at its thickest, the heroine in des-
pair, the villain triumphant and the
outlook in every way dark for the per
secuted girl as the curtain descended
at the end Of the third act, Larry
Jerome, with tears rolling down his
cheeks, rose from his seat and in most
impassioned tones, his voice broken
with sobs, but audible all over the
house, exclaimed to his companion:
"By heaven, Tom, I'll pay that mort
gage myself!'
Then this cOnsummate old joker and
clever actor stroll-d out into the lobby
to enjoy one Of the biggest sensations
a first-night audience at Wallack's had
had in their lives. Incidentally, too,
the ruse Of Jerome's helped materially
tothe making Of the play.

MORAL AND ORDERLY
General Macarthur Reports on the
Social Conditions Existing
in Manila.

Washington, May 7.-General Mac
Arthur as governor of the Philippine
islands, has communicated to the adj
iutant general of the army concern
ing the allegations made against the
authorities in Manila relative to the
social evil which exists in that city.
General Macarthur says the writer's
of letters which he received have been
misled and have imperfect knowledge
of the conditions,
He declares that prostitution is not
licensed and that prostitutes are not
allowed to land at Manila, unless they
have secured previous resident rights
The police regulations of the social
evil are severe and calculated to pre-
vent the spread of disease which
is something that is found necessary
in that tropical climate.
General Macarthur says also tina,
Manila scan challenge comparison as
to it's moral and orderly condition witt
any city in the United States. The
general suggests that a committee
consisting of those who make allega
lions against the government bt
sent to that city to make an in
vestigation, but adds that sucn a com
mittee should first a~cquaint them
selves with social conditions in tropi
cal countries.

KiPLING TO EVANS.
A Tribute to " Fighting Bob" Told
.u... in Verse. ST.. q

While Rear Admiral Robley, D.
Evans was in command of the In
diana, he entertained Rudyard Kip
ling. In A Sailors Log" published
by the Appletons, he tells of the cir
cumstance as follows: while re-
fitting in New York, Mr.. Rudyard
Kipling breakfasted on board with me,
and seemed much interested, partic-
ularly in the machinery, which he ex-
amined cry closely. Some weeks
afterward he was good enough to send
me a set of his books. On the title
page of Plain Tales from the Hills
facing a beautiful picture of Sergeant
Mulvaney, done by my dear friend, R.
F. Aogbaum, he had written the fol
lowing graceful lines, which l had
hoped would always remain my per-
sonal property. But some one stole
them and gave them publicity. For
that reason | allow myself to put
them in this book:
'Zogbaum draws with a pencil, "
And do things with a pens
And you sit up in a coming tower
Bossing eight hundred men.
"Zogbaum takes care of his business,
And | take care of mine;
And you take care of ten thousand tons
Shy-hoting through the brine.
''Zogbaum can handle his shadows,
And | can handle my style;
And you can handle a ten-inch gun
To carry eve mile.
"'To him that hath shall be given,
And that's why these books are sent
To the man who has lived more stories
Than Zogbaum or l coulu invent"

within the original act. Having de-
termined all these things, and nothing
further remaining to be done except
ing to issue the patent, the title vests
the railway company
II think you are quite right on this
statement in regard to indemnity
lands which the case above referred
to calls float lands but I hardly can
see the same parallel in this act Of
July /, 1898, as is contemplated in
the indemnity land act under the orig
inal grant to the railroad company,
because, as l said before, where no
one comes into contest your rigN t to
select lieu lands under this act your
title is made perfect Immediately
upon the receipt of the register of the
land Office for the entry being issued,
and you are entitled to patent.
II am constrained to the opinion
that wherever the railroad company
has selected, under the act of July 1,
1898, any lands, and has had a re-
~ceiver's receipt issued to them from
the local land office where the land
is situated and there is no protest or
contest initiated against any Of these
selections by the railroad company,
that the title is complete in the rail
road company, and that the land is
subject to taxation. This IS true OF
the surveyed lands, but as to unsur'
veyed lands, l think that the view
should be that they would not be sub
ject to taxation because of the pos
sible uncertainty of the selection and
identificalon." '.. =

NO DIFFERENCE.
All Liquor Dealers Look Alike to At
torney General Donovan.

The new liquor license law draws
no distinction between the ordinary
saloon keeper and the groceryman
who sells liquor in any form. The
attorney general has notified County
Treasurer James Maher of Silver Bow
county to that effect. Mr.. Maher ask
e.. for an Interpretation of the new
law and wanted to know how much
license he should charge grocers
handling liquor in Meaderville, Walk
erville and Centerville.
The attorney general tells the
county treasurer the new law e
away with the classes specified in the
old law as distinguishing those who
sold in large or small quantities.
"The old law divided liquor dealers
into two classes, A and b. says the
attorney general, biased upon the
! quantity in which the liquor was sold,
| while the new law provides that every
person who sells or offers for sale di-
rectly or indirectly, any spurious,
malt, vinous, distilled or fermented
liquors or wines, no matter whether
the quantity be one drink OF n bar
rel, must op.ain a license therefor
from the county treasurer.
"This law does not apply to grocers
any more than it does to any other
person who sells liquors, and uner
1t a grocer who sells liquor is requir-
ed to pay the same license as a sa-
loon keeper, no more and nc less.
''If you will bear in mind that the
new law. instead of making a dis
tinction between saloon keepers and
grocers, destroyss all distinction that
heretofore existed between them with
reference to licenses, and puts them
in exactly the same class. you will
have no difficulty in understanding
the law and no complications should
arise in your Office in carrying out
it's provisions.
III, under house bill No. so, the sa'
loon license of Walkerville is $24O
Centerville $240. Meadville 5000 and
in the balance of the county $3.50 pei
every six months as you state in
your letter, then what you call the
'grocers' license would be the same

VALUE OF A NJ LIFE.
Pertinent Comment Upon a Recent
Decision of an Ohio Court.

Chicago Tribune: The recent de-
cision of a Judge at Akron, Ohio, that
the value of a woman's life is $500,
while that of a man is $4,000, has
created not alone a sensation, but
something like an indignant uprising
among the women of that community.
They contend, and not without justice
and reason, that the court has no
right to lay down such a hard and
fast rule, or to appraise masculine
and feminine lives by the rules which
govern relative values of sheep and
oxen.
AS a matter of fact, there are al
most as many exceptions to such a
general rule as that Of the Ohio Judge
as there are men and women. When
the law does not put an arbitrary,
uniform valuation on their lives they
must be valued according to their
actual or potential value to those who
are or may be dependent on them.
If they are of no service to anybody,
then they are of no especial value
to themselves or anyone else. 1t is
absurd to say that every mans life
is worth $4,000 when there are large
numbers of men who are of no more
value than a yellow dog, and it is
equally absurd to say that every
woman's life is worth but $500 when
there are a large number of women
who are of no more value than a ca
nary bird. IT,. .
If the value of a mans life is to be
estimated by his services to the com
munity, there are those whose loss
cannot be computed in dollars. So
too, are there women whose value tc
the community is above price. In fix
ing the value of life. where the law
has not fixed it, the utility of that life
is the fact to be considered. There
is no other fair test, and determined
by sucu a test, there will be as many
different prices as there are people
| Many women will be appraised az
high as some men, and some meI
may be appraised as high as man.

Change in Conditions.

Schenectady IN. ~ "Union.": A
few years ago the government had
great difficulty in keeping the gold
fund for the redemption of greenbacks
up anywhere near the 0O,OOO,OOO
mark. In two years in the second
term of President Cleveland the gov
eminent had to sell $262, 10000 OF
Understanding bonds for gold in or
der to keep the fund up to a point
which would prevent the country from
dropping to the silver basis. At one
time in that period the gold reserve
was down to SAL, 900, 900. At the pres
ent time the reserve and the 'free"
gold is more than five times as great
in amount as it was then, or $214,-
OOO, 900 in all. This is a sweeping
change in conditions. 1t marks an
advance in business credit and pros
perity sucn as the country has never
scored previously in any equal length
of time. All this transformation has
been caused by the wisdom OF the
American people in putting the party
of Industrial sanity and financial
honesty in power, and keeping It in
I mower.

WoLcoTT's LIBRARY SOLD.
Coiorado's Ex-senator Disposes Of His
Notable Collection Of Books.

Chicago news: Ex-senator E. O.
Wolcott has sold his books at Wash
ington. Workmen with huge vans are
rapidly transforming into a hayloft
what probably was the finest and
most luxurious library in Washington.
The demolition of the library is re-
garded as the finale of the eloquent
Colorado mans political aspirations,

bles of the Wolcotts, which have been

Rodgers, the wife of a major in the
Fourth cavalry, and which she receiv.

lacked a library to accord with the
tastes of the western man, but there
was a barn connected with the prop
erty, which Mr.. Walcott soon showed
to be possessed of enormous posi-.
bilities as a literary center.
Workmen were told to attack the

BRYAN CHIEF SPEAKER AT
ANNUAL BANQUET.
ROASTS MIDDLEoF readers
Declares Fusion to Be Open
and Honest Plan of Co.
Operation.

Omaha, May THE annual ban
.quet of the Peter Cooper club was
held in this city tonight, about $50
guests from various parts of the state
being present. w. J. Bryan and w.
v. Allen, the guests Of honor, occu-
pied places on either side of President
Quinby of the club. Fusion was the
theme of the evening, and expressions
were unanimous in favor OF lis contin-
uance. The hall was decorated with
United States flags and portraits of
Peter Cooper, Jefferson and Bryan.
Mr.. Bryan spoke upon Fusion,
urging it's continuance.
He said: Fusion as we have had it
in Nebraska is cooperation between
reform forces without loss of party
identity or Of party organization. The
fusion between democrats and popu-
lists was advocated in 1890 by ]. Ster-
ling Morton, but it was not actually
attempted until four years later. In
the campaign of 1892 most of the
democrats following the advocacy of
their national committee voted for
the populist electors to help defeat the
republicans. In 1894 the democratic
state convention endorsed populist
candidate for governor, Judge Hol-
combe, and the gold corporation ele-
men. ran the middle-of-Che-road tick
ct to deceive the democrats. But the
leaders of the bolt did what they could
to help the republican party, just as
the gold and corporation element did
in the nation two years later. In 1907
the populists following the example
set by the democrats in Nebraska and
other western states, endorsed the
democratic ticket, but the middle-of-
the-road populists followed the exam
pie of the gold and corporation demo-
Gratis and ran a separate ticket, but
gave their aid to the republicans. Fus-
ion is an open and honest plan of c o
operation. The middle-of-the-road
populists have twice been engaged in
a secret and dishonest method of CO.
operation. I believe in the open and
honest method and shall continue to
advocate it SO long as the allies agree
upon the paramount ISSUE"
"1he republican party has settled
no issues. Every year carries 1T fur
Their from right principles and into
more dangerous paths. All friends
of free government and equal rights
must fight together against the com
