members also are endeavoring to take
 advantage of all the information ob-
 tainable from Englishmen and Hindus
 who stand entirely outside, We have
 personally seen various missionary in
 stitutions planted and supported by the
 church missionary society the Wes-
 leyan society and the society for the
 propagation of the gospel to the free
 church of Scotland missionary society," all of Great Brtain-as we'll as the Dutch Reformed, the Methodist, the
 Baptist and others of our own country.
 We have repeatedly met in conference the missionaries of these and other
 boards, where policy, methods of work and results were fully and freely dis cussed. The value of such conference
 can hardly be overestimated.
 We have not been content, however, to conf1ne our Investigations to those who are sympathetic with missionary enterprises, but it seemed to us best to ! get the views of outsiders, many or 1 whom would be expected to criticise. | We have had several conferences with | leading Hindu gentlemen where no mis- 1 sionaries were present, so that there could be the freest interchange of thought and opinion. We met the off, cers of the theosophical society in Madura and nearly the entire member ship of the Prarthena Somaj or Ahmed nagar. We have been invited to the homes of Hindu leaders where royal en- tertainment was accorded us, and in every case we have early turned con- versation to the missionary work and Lave asked for opinions and sugges- tions.
 We have found that our work has been under the closest observation, and the individual characteristic and ability of our missionaries are we'll known far outside the Christian circle. It has been a source of qualification to us to learn how widely the missionaries are re- spected and their life and work honor ed. There has been but little criticism, and the burden of the suggestions has been in the line of marked increase in mission operations. These suggestions have not come from those who hoped to profit by the sending of more mission funds to India, but from independent officials who had at heart the good of the people and who desired their eleva tion.
 English officials have been even more profuse in their expressions of appreci- | ation.

CRUELTY TO HORSES.

A good thing has been done by the
 Bergh society in New York this week in removing "burrs' fastened to the bits of horses attached to carriages out circular leather pad about two and one-half inches in diameter, the inside of which is studded with small punches of stiff bristles about three-eighths of an inch long, or, in some instances, placed just within the cheek pieces of the bits with the spiked side next the corner of his mouth. When the horse moves his head to either side, or either rein is drawn upon the bristles or spikes or screws prick him, and he champs the bit, keeps his head up, and looks stylish" Among those who had horses thus provided were Elbridge T. Gerry, formerly president of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Chil- dren; W. K. Vanderbilt, o. H. P. Bel mont, and many others.
 The use of the burr is against the law, as 1t ought to be. Perhaps the owners of the horses found with burrs in their mouths may not have known that their coachmen were using them. But they know now, and they and all other owners of horses should not tor ture them to make them look stylish

A SLIGHT MISUNDERSTANDING
Why Two Southern Women Changed Their Rooms in an English Hotel.

1 Why Two Southern Women Changed | Their Rooms in an English Hotel l The recent outbreak of southern in- | dignation over President Roosevelt's in- vitation to Booker T. Washington to ! dine at the White House recalls story which has been published before, but is perhaps worth retellng, says the New York Tribune.
 Two well-to- do women from the southern states were making the tour | of Europe not long ago. In London they
 had some difficulty in procuring rooms that suited them. They had looked long and had grown weary, when they en- tered first-class hotel which had been highly recommended to them, but which, on account of it's high prices they had reserved for the last. To their disnay they found the house so full of
 guests that only one room remained empty.
 It was shown to them, however, and so pleased were they with it that they could not repress exclamations of joy at not being obliged to look any farther, although they knew that wiser policy would have been to decry it.
 Tt is, indeed, nice room," said the polite attendant, and, though rather high priced, 1t ought to be especially desirable for Americans"
 Why SOP was asked. x
 Because your MT. Washington once occupied it." was the answer
 Indeed" exclaimed the Americans. Flow lovely!"
 After they had engaged the room and were talking about it's good points, it occurred to them that the hotel was far too modern ever to have been seen by "the Father of His Country" So, sum- morning the attendant. they taxed him with telling a falsehood, saying:
 What do you mean by trying to inn pose on us with your story of George Washington sleeping in this room once? President Washington died long before this hotel was built"
 Pardon me, ladies', replied the hurt hotel employe. T mean Booker T. Washington"

Many prefer to personally select the skins to be used in making up Coats, Jackets, Victorines, Scarfs and Muffs. Our stock of fur pelts affords an unusual opportunity in this direction.

The finest skins are com paratively few in number; and the first conner Is able to obtain the best specimens.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington. Dec. 5.-As soon as the
House is thoroughly organized and ready TO
transact business bill for the purpose of
carrying out the recommendations for leg
islation for the Philippines contained in the
Presidents message will be introduced Inc
measure is now practically ready. but Is

Representative Cooper who was chairman
of the House Committee on InSular Affairs.
and who will undoubtedly he reappointed to
that position. has the bill above referred 20
in shape.
Mr. Cooper thinks that the most important
question to be disposed of is that relating
to the lands owned by the friars. He thinks
that the controversy between the ecclesias.
teal orders and the natives is at the seat OF
all the trouble between the Filipinos and
the United States authorities, and that if
the friars can be eliminated from the situa-
tion peace and submission to the sover-
eighty of the United States will speedily fol-

can get rid of the frars there Will be an
end to the opposition OF the Fiiipinos to

MAY DELAY THE NEELY TRIAL.
Technical Point Raised. Which Is he
ing Considered.


Washington, Dec. 5.-The prosecution in
the case of Charles Nicely. charged with
postal frauds in Cuba. has met with a
check which may cause much delay in the
trial of this case.
1t appears that the prosecution is of neces-
sity relying largely upon letters setting out
testimony taken in the United States Such
depositions may be used lawfully. accord
ing to the Spanish practice. But the ques-
t.on has been raised, and has been dis
crssed by the Cabinet, is such 4 proceeding
lawful under the statute by means or
which the extradition OF Neely to Cuba
was secured?
The extradi;ion laws are held by Neely's
friends and counsel to demand for the ac-
cused the opportunity to be confronted with
witnesses against himself or have full OPP
portunity to cross-eXamine on depositionS.
as he should have under the American legal
practices.
To admit this point would be to greatly
endanger the success of the prosecution, in
the opinion OF the officials here, but so far
no decision has been reached.
