4. building last evening n band of
workers started out this morning
with the definite object in view of
raising enough to bring the subscrip-
ton list up to $4,000. This will mean
that before night the Y. NJ. {. 4.
building fund will have been increas-
ed by $4,000, for there is now just
$4,000 in sight. 1t means that if the
definite object is attained. About a
score of the active members of the
Y. NJ. G. y. gathered at the rooms
last evening to meet Charles +. Ward,
representing the international com
mittee in the middle west. Mr.. Ward
talked building and put the local as
sociation upon business principles.
He talked plainly and sensibly and as
a result the plans for new building
were focused upon the idea of erect
ing a structure upon the northwest
corner of Sixth and Brady streets en-
tirely separate from the Keck build
ing, which occupies the north end of
the property. The idea is to have a
building either three or four stories
in height with several floors devoted
TO dormitories The $4,000 which il
is expected will be reached when the
result of today's canvass is added 10
the amount and pledges already on
hand will enable the association to
paw for the property and also pay of
the association debt, so that new
start can be made for the fund
wherewith to erect the new building,
which is expected TO cost about S4O,-
600.

STAMP DUTIES TO GO.

The abolition of the stamp duty on
mortgages, insurance policies, bank
cheques, bills or lading, kilograms. eX-
press receipts and other documents seems
likely to be attained before the end of
the present month. The measure has al
ready passed the house at Washington,
and while the senate is slower body
to act in most matters it is believed that
public sentiment has been so pronounced
In this case that resembling of the un-
popular and now unnecessary duties in
qustion will speedily follow. The finance
committee of the senate, which has the
house measure in charge, is understood
to be in favor of the bill pretty much as
it stands. There may be some hesitancy
in the matter Of bank cheques, concern
ing the taxation of which no great pro-
test has as yet been, made, but all the
other items seem certain to be slated for
abolition and the new century will soen

The Month of Legislatures.

Saturday Evening Post.
This is the month of state legislat lures
More than thirty of them will begin
their sessions between the first and the
middle of January. In size they range
from the nine senators and the twenty
one representatives in Delaware to New
Hampshires unequaled body of nearly
400 members in both branches.
Our legislatures, like some ether Amer
ican institutions, vary with the states.
For instance. New Hampshire has rep
reseH ,atiye to every LILO of population
but the ratio in New York is only one
member to every 1890 of population
The variety is not confined TO the ra-
ito of representation. Rhode Island
pays its legislators only a dollar day
but California and Nevada pay eight
dollars a day.
Maine gives only $50 year, but New
York and Pennsylvania pay $1.5G0 year.
All the states except Delaware and
New Jersey pay mileage to the members,
which generally means so much addi-
tional for them personally. as most of
them travel on passes.

METROPOLITAN

'"The Girl from Maxim's" continues her
merry reign at the Metropolitan TO good
business from a box Office standpoint and
with gratifying results from an artistic
point of view; the farce is as lively as
it Is possible to make it. and a succession
OF unique comedy situations and mis-
understandings keep the audience in a
condltion OF nervous delight from start
to fnish of every act. The reckless, dare-
devil hamor of the Girl and her abso-
lutte disregard for conventionaliry make
II impossible TO imagine her next move
ana the authors disregard of proba ability
tends to make the puzzle complete.
Frank Daniels in his new opera, '"The
Arneer." will open an engagement of four
nights only at the Metropolitan opera
house Sunday night; the sale of seats
for Mr.. Daniels engagement is now on
at the Metropolitan box Office, and IN
view of the numerous inquiries for the
funny little comedian it will be well for
those desiring good seats to secure them
early.

site of Denver as the correct place for

the land upon which Denver stands, and
had widespread claims in the surrounding

This is a very fine picture, but it is, of

CONDITIONS IN THE PHILIPPINES.

CONDITIONS IN THE PHILIPPINES.
To form clear idea of what is going
on in the Philippines is not an easy task
The reports are largely conflicting and
nearly all colored by partisan bias They
represent our soldiers and officials
there either as rogues villains or barbar-
ians and tyrants or as reformers. philan-
thOpists and saints. They represent
the Filipnos either as filled with an i'm
perishable hatred against anything
American and determined to die in the
last ditch before giving up, or as in
spired with an Unsuitable longing for the
blessings of American liberty and civili-
zation, which they are kept from enjoy
ing to its full extent by merely a few
insignificant bands of wicked robbers and
guerrillas that terrorize the people.
In the nature of things, both views
must be false, but the truth may lie
somewhere in between. AS for our
soldiers, they are neither all saints nor
the other. 1t is but natural if some of
the lower elements of American society
have slipped in with the rest and they
40 doubt follow the same instincts in the
Philippines that would have controlled
them at home. On the other hand there
are certainly a great many among them
who are actuated by the highest ideals
and aspirations. Yet, no doubt, the great
mass of them merely do their duty ana
obey orders without thinking much either
one way or the other.
As to the Filipinos themselves, it is evil
dent that in some parts of the islands
there is still a good deal of rebellion,
while other parts appear to be peaceful
and pretty we'll started on their way to
the millennium. OF one of the latter,
Lieut. Col James Parker, who is adminIs-
tering the affairs of some $4,000 Filipinos
in Southeastern Luzon, draws some very
pleasant pictures. In recent issue of
the Outlook he says:
"rhese people are most ambitious for
education. They are also most desirous
! of a knowledge of English, or 'Ameri-
cano,' as they call it. They have the
most wonderful ideas concerning the
| United States; their imaginations are in
! famed with stories Of our wealth, our
energy, our power, and the prowess of
! our soldiers here; the liberty of our gov
| ernment confirms them in these ideas.
The great dream of the average Filipino
| is to see America.
''lt is cur great superiority that brings
| secretly great delight to the Filipino
when allowed to call himself an Ameri-
| cano, and makes him so anxious to learn
4 our language, adopt our customs, buy our
| goods, wear cur clothing. In one of The
