Directive Powers In Public Affairs.
ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 14-On Satur-
day correspondent was informed ON
good authority that Emperor Nicholas
from his private means had presented
M. DeWitte, minister of finance, Gen
eral Kouropatkine, minister of war, and
Count Lamsdorff, minister of the foreign
affairs, 200, 900 roubles each as an ex-
preston of his qualification over the de-
velopment of Manchurian affairs, the
protection of the railway and suppress
sion of disturbances in Manchuria. Ac-
cording to the budget, the cost of the
war to date is 60, 900, 900 roubles. Tt is
proposed to devote 130, 900, 900 roubles to
railways in 1901 and not to Negotiate
loan.
Lnis favorable budget unquestionably
strengthens M. DeWitte and it is gen.
orally anticipated that the czar will sig
nally recognize his services. Reports
emanating from certain ministers assert
that M. DeWitte will become imperial
chancellor on the Russian new year,
with superior directive powefs over the
department of government. The pow
ers, who are usually we'll informed re-
garding such matters, doubt the story
which naturally cannot be confirmed.
At all events M. DeWitte's star is evil
IDENTIFY i'll the ascendant. His love of
peace, his determination to develop
Russia's internal resources and his pro-
fessed American sympathies are suff1-
cient reasons why the world, and espe-
cially America, can congratulate Rus

NATIVE TEACHERS ONLY
Central Catholica Opposed to Disturb

ing Religious Customs.
MANILA, Jan. Ia. Representatives of
the Central Catholica at meeting here
spoke on the subject of religion in the
schools and urged the adoption of
amendments providing for the employ
ment exclusively of native and Catholic
teachers and for permitting religious
teaching in the schools. They argued
that native teachers could achieve bet
ter results than Americans and that the
public schools would be far more suo-
cessful if the prevailing religious GUS
toms were not disturbed.
In order to avoid long response from
their opponents on the question of re-
ligious teaching in the schools, Judge
Taft announced that the commission,
under it's instructions, could not possibly
adopt the amendments suggested by the
Central Catholica.
The commissioners are unanimous In
the belief that great majority of the
Fiipinos desire religious teachings in
the schools. They hold that the purpose
of this education will be partially de-
feated unless the children of Catholics
are permitted TO attend the public
schools.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one

stance, and it's acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal

She Declined,

Few American youths have careers
made for them. Those who deplore
this fact and shun the stings Of self
effort may find tonic in the reply Of a
western girl to an offer of marriage.
A young man Of more book learn
ing than force Of character lost the
young wife who had toiled to support
him, returned to his native town for
consolation and found it. Some months
later she, too. passed away, and the
sad youth soon appealed to a well
known clergyman for assistance in
finding a helDmate.
The minister introduced him to
western girl Of health and energy,
who the next day received a plaint:ve
note from the widower. He declared
that the Lord had made great inroads
upon his marital affections, and it now
seemed to be his will that she would
repair the breaches Of his life.
The reply, which the clergyman
keeps today as one Of the choicest
specimens Of varied collection, reads
simply:
'tMend your own breeches."-Youth's
Companion.

Moral Eject of Pistol Toting.

When a man carries a pistol con-
stantly, slipping it into his pocket eV-
cry morning and taking it out at night,
feeling It's constant pressure against
his person, these things tend to famil-
iarize his mind with the idea Of killing
and lowers his conception Of the sa-
credness Of human life. What does a
man carry a pistol for? To shoot some
other man with. The miserable thing
is made expressly to kill human be-
ings. 1t has no other earthly purpose.
What a hardening effect it must have,
then, upon the conscience and heart Of
a man who carries it constantly in his
pocket and lives in daily contact with
it and with the idea it constantly sug-
gests to his mind! Let US warn young
men and old ones not to carry pistols,
and then you will avoid doing rash
act.-Marietta (Ga-) Journal

The Servant Problem In Mexico.

sYou foreigners" says q Mexican
woman quoted by a correspondent Of

claim, How aIyfully the Mexicans
treat their servants and then you give
them iron beds and mattresses stuffed
with WOOL where with US they have
to lie down to sleep on their straw
mats, as is best for them. You think
it nice to give them ribbons :or their
hair and neck, and some Of you put
the women in corsets and make them
wear caps and aprons! This turns the
heads Of the yong women, and they
think they are real senoras Qadies)
and grow impudent. That is how you
spoil our servants, who, when they get
angry with us, talk up loudly and say
they will go and live in foreign
family! All, you foreigners are so
shortsighted. Soon you will see how
there are no more good, loyal, old fash
ioned servants! You pet race which
needs frmness and discipline, real
kindness, not pampering."

means, or used 10 mean, using your

without cues Of the proper lines, re-
lying only upon knowledge Of the
play to carry you through. Years ago
on the road there used to be some high
ly ludicrous situations in consequence
Of new play being produced in a
hurry. The stage manager, however,
had a wonderful genius for patching
up a hitch. When circumstances were

it up and while they did so he would
arrange how the play had to be con-

For instance, I remember on one oc-

a blank sheet-was sent on the stage.
