wait until mother has satisfied
her heart with the first reading.

Columbia's Attituee Toward Cuba.

Our attitude to Cuba must be
defined, guided and directed, not
by the Teller resolution, but by
the treaty of Paris. The Teller
resolution was a mere general eX-
preston of American purpose to-
ward Cuba. 1t was, in truth, a
promise of independence to that
island, and that promise we have
kept by liberating it forever
from the bloody tyranny of Spain.
But the promise of independence
to the Queen of the Antilles i'm
plies certain conditions which
can not now, in the unquestion-
able interests Of the United
States, be lost sight of. We
promised and guaranteed no in
dependence to Cuba which could
be used against ourselves. We
promised no independence to the
people of that island for the pur-
pose of cursing them with anar-
chy. We promised no independ-
ence to that island, recognized
by the whole world as within our
legitimate sphere of influence,

Enormous Coal Consumption.

Professor r. II. Thurston,
writing in Youths Companion,
notes that very large part of
this fuel is employed in supply
ing our steam engines, and the
quantity SO used is rapidly and
constantly increasing. Not long
ago the burning of fifty tons
day by a steamship was thought
remarkable; today there are
steamers on the ocean of 10000
and 10000 horse power each
which require from twenty to
thirty tons an hour, or 500 to
700 tons a day, and the end of
the growth of steamships is not
yet in signt. Could the same
power be produced by engines
capable of converting perfectly
all the heat of their fuel into
power the coal needed by them
would be made to last about
eight times as long, and the ex-
elusive use of such perfect en-
gines would mere than prop0rs
tionally extend the life of
mankind in temperate regions
and in civilized countries.
Whether such gains, or any
important gains, can be expected
through the displacement of the
steam engine by better form
of motor is a question regarding
which the greatest authorities
are very much at a loss. They
are, ho .;ever, agreed in the con-
viction that we cannot hope for
much further, or any rapid i'm
provement in the great motor
which we now have, and which
makes it possible for mankind
to do more work in day than
could be performed otherwise in
many'days, and to multiply the
wealth and comfort and oppor-
tunlties of all the world. The
progress of this greatest of in
ventions has been constantly in
the direction of greater compli-
cation, although of late it has
been discovered that the "whirl-
ing eOlpile," a simple steam
driven toy of the ancient Greeks,
may compete successfully with
the modern machine and may be
made to do wonderful work, but
no promise Of any extraordinary
gain by reducing the still great
wastes of the heat engines is rec
ognized. Working at high tenn
peratures, as with the gas engines
which operate with flame temper
atures, may give some considera-
BILE gain.

Burglars paid their annual

effected through n rear window
and between iron bars covering

space, not large enough to admit
the head Of a medium sized man.
Exit was had by the back door.

shortly after o O'Clock was sure
he saw a woman in there. Mems
shoes were spread around pro-
miscuously where they had been
tried on to get q fit. An old
pair of socks was left and new
ones taken. A cheap shirt had
been tried on, but it evidently
did not suit the thief's taste and
he emptied a box of the best
shirts in the house. One pair Of
fine ladies' shoes is missing and
a piece of fine silk trimming is
gone. Some underwear'was also
taken. 1t looks as if the burglar
had fitted himself out with good,
new things and taken something
along for the woman in the case.
The window bars were little
too close together and a piece of
timber was used to pry them a
little apart. The trying on of
shoes was done right in the front

age, total or partial, on our own
or the rights of foreign nations,

vidual subjects in Cuba. We en-
tered on a war with Spain to
make Cuba q land safe for resi-
dence and investment, 4 land in
which the fundamental laws Of
civilized life should be strictly
and consistently observed.
The Teller resolution can not
be invoked against the complete
fulfillment of our manifest duty
in Cuba. Simply declaratory ut
terances of Congress are not to
be interpreted literally nor taken
by themselves apart from the cir
cumstances which call them
forth. The Teller resolution
meant very plainly that the
American government and peo-
pie did not make war on Spain
|. for purposes of territorial ag-
grandizementin Cuba. 1t meant,
further, that we should give
Cuba independence from Spain
and impart to her people the in
estimable blessings of self-gov-
ernment. The first we have
done, the second weare earnestly
striving to do.
1t never meant, or at all events,
was not at the time of its pass
age understood by Congress to
mean, that we should give Cuba
such a measure of independence
as would permit the erection
there of a government hostile to
our own, or government that
might easily fall under the con-
troll of an alien and hostile power,
Or, again, a goveroment that
might prove unequal to the pro-
lection of property, the rights of
American citizens or other for
eigners on the island, or, in fine,
a government likely to lead to
spoliaiion, perpetual revolution
and anarchy.
By the treaty Of Paris the
United States is constituted a
trustee, not only for Cuba, but
for the establishment on that
island Of a stable, responsible
government, a trustee for the
fulfillment of Cuba's interna-
tional obligations in such "a man
ner and to such an extent as will
maintain peace and respect for
all rights of property and person.

their experiments were the deli
cate yellows and browns obtained
from benZine. Then quinoline
was hit upon-a drug with just
the same bitter taste rs quinine,
equally powerful in fighting fever
and leaving none of quinine's
evil effect. Quinoline, also costs
less than halfas much as quinine.
"Antipyrin, even stronger and
more lasting in its effects, and
without any bitterness at all, was
the next development. Hundreds

by distillation of one of the vola-

other scents, generally known by

announcement of the appro ach-

Dougherty, Jr., of the 37th Regi-
ment, United States Volunteers,
at Manila. in March, to Miss
Martha Ah Fong has created a
sensation in Southern Illinois,
where the young Lieutenant is
well and favorably known.
He was the Prohibition candi-
date for Congress in 1896 and
served during the Spanish-Amer-
lean war in the regular army.
At El Caney and San Juan he
distinguished himself, which led
to his appointment as Lieutenant
OF volunteers.
While en- route to the Philip
pines his regiment was delayed
at Honolulu, and the officers were
entertained at the palatial All
Fong home. The An Fong family
is one of the best known in the
Hawaiian Islands. Wing All
Fong, the father, was a full
blood Chinaman, landing at
Honolulu in 1868 with small
stock of goods from China. He
made money rapidly, and in 1850
married the beautiful daughter
of a Portuguese sailor, who had
been stranded on the island. All
Fong spent money freely and
amassed an immense fortune.
To the wedding was born thirteen
daughters and one boy. The boy
became typical Chineman, while
the girls followed their motL Ler
in modern ways.
In 1892 Wing All Fong and his
son sailed for China, and no trace
of them has ever been secured.
The daughters continued the af-
fairs of the fathers estate and
have proven successful in busi-
ness. Their present fortune runs

All the daughters are highly
cultured, speaking English, Por-
tuguese, French and Kanaka
fluently. Six of them have mar
ried. The wedding of Capt.
Whiting, of the United States
navy, to Miss Harriet All Fong
was as brilliant as money and
the presence of O large number
of naval officers could make it.
The coming marriage of Lieut..
Dougherty to Miss Martha will
be celebrated at Manila, owing
to the impossibility Of the the
young Lieutenant being able to
go to Honolulu. When the con-
ditions were brought to Miss
Martha's attention she at once
consented to make the ocean
voyage to her affianced, and will
reach Manila March 10.
