A Chinaman as Cabinet Minister.
The governor rules the colony through his
council or cabinet. He has about many
cabinet ministers as our President and
there is in addition a legislative council.
One of the officials of the latter is Chi
nese, so that the Chinese have their say as to
how the laws are made and executed. Part
of the council comes from the other colonies
Of the straits, for the governor rules not
only Singapore, but also Penang, Wellesly
and Malacca. He governs four Of the
states of the Malay peninsula, and he Is
high commissioner of the British posses
sions in Borneo. He is commander-in-chief
of the garrison, and as such has control Of
all things military.
The English treat their soldiers well while
in foreign countries. The garrison here is
comparatively small, but the annual mill
tary expenses are nearly $500, 900. I visited
the barracks and officers quarters. They
are outside the city, on the hills surround
ed by beautiful grounds. The officers have
pleasant homes-bungalows with heavy
matched roofs-and the barracks are ex-
ceedingly comfortable. There are ON the
island two battalions of artillery and one
Of infantry. In addition there are fortress
engineers and company of Malay subma-
rine miners. The police force has SSS men
and thirty-eight officers, In addition to
battery Of volunteer artillery. About one

The government house is his residence
1t is q palace grander than the White

embracing beautiful lawns spotted with
tropical trees and flowers. l drove through
them during my stay. They are more beau
tiful than any botanical garden outside the
tropics and are as we'll kept as the grounds
about the White House. There are British
soldiers on guard at the front door and
the governor is less easy to reach than
President Roosevelt.
Governor Cardew is the pivot upon which
Singapore society moves, and the great
event of the year is the ball which he gives
on the kings birthday at his official pal
ace. To this every one goes. Indeed, the
invitations are so many that it has been
said that everybody who does not happen
to be in jail at the time is invited. At this

The Craze for Titles.

Said a society woman recently: II really
did not know how perfectly absurd the
tacking Of the husbands title to the wifes
name appeared until one night last week,
when attended some kind of a charitable
function arranged by the pupils and teach
ers Of one Of the city schools where my
twelve-year-oldd daughter is enrolled. I was
introduced right and left as Mrs. Con-
gressman' So-and-So. Now, 1t is bad
enough to have some one always saying
Mrs. So-and-So, wife of Congressman etc.
Ny husband Is representative, one Of
number from his state, and not single
vote was cast for me. At this function
met Mrs Senator Blank, Mrs. Judge s.,
Mrs. General x. and a string of other
titled women. The climax was capped,
however, by my young daughter, VINO
brought me very pretty, personable young
girl whom she introduced as Miss Janitor
2. Before I recovered from the shock of
this title an elderly woman appeared on
the scene, whom my daughter Immediately
presented as Mrs. Janitor' z.
MRS. Janitor q. smiled little as she ac-
knowledged the Introduction, then remark
ed in a perfectly self-possessed manner:
My husband is the janitor, not 1. Is it
not odd how children ape the manners Of
their elders?' Which was something of q
slap at me, though unintended. But, after
all, If it is Mrs. General, why not also
Mrs. Janitor?
Why not?

Significant of the progress Of art in

1t Is source of modification to-.
many Of the fair ones that a large ma

the products of masculine genius. De-

must be all winter long in order to
spring each spring upon a defenseless

schemes for shirtwaist reformation!
But for all his inventiveness, what wo-

Shirtwaists may come and shirtwaists

"BARBARA FRTETCHTE,s
AT the Grand Opera House. st. Par

At the Grand Opera HOuse. st. Paul.
Clyde Fitchs beautiful play Bar
bara Frietchie'' will be presented at
the Grand Opera House next week
commencing with performance next
Sunday evening at 8:l5. This great
play will be presented with the same
exactness as to scenic detail, costumes
and effects that characterized it's pro-
duction at the Criterion Theatre and
Academy of Music, New York City.
The play tells simply and tenderly, yet
with much dramatic ingenuity, a love
story with tragic ending, which does
not depress the spectators mind by
the sadness, but leaves him elated by
it's exhibition of heroism and devo-
ton. Such is the effects of poetical
tragedy, properly acted, and this play
while it is written in prose and not in
the form of poetic tragedy, sounds the
genuine tragic notes in stronger
scenes. But as in life itself, comedy is
mingled with it's tragedy. The play
is written f1uently, eloquently and
some of it's dialogue, like the love
scenes on the stoop of the old-fashion-
ed Southern dwelling, has not been
surpassed by contemporary drama.
The greater and finer scenes of the
play have noble proportions. The
setting cannot be surpassed. The
quaint street with it's low buildings, is
one of the best scenic pictures ever
displayed. The dresses of the crino-
line period, designed and made by
Dazian, show the ladies to really pref
ty effect. ..--'t@'. -a -.
While Whittier's famous poem sug-
gested to Mr.. Fitch not only the title,
but also the closing incident of the
play, he has paraphrased it by making
Barbara a young Southern girl in love
with Union officer. He is MORALLY
wounded and dies in her home just as
the Confederates come marching up
the street, It is then, that dazed, yet
maddened by his death she takes from
his breast the flag that has staunched
his blood, and waves it defiantly over
the balcony. The shot that kills her
is fired by her former Confederate
sweetheart, Jack Negley, whose love
for her has driven insane. He is or
dered shot by his military father.

Iabors Of that post has restored to him
a certain gayety Of spirit. He is older
in that he seems unable and unwilling
to occupy himself seriously with that
general control and supervision of af-
fairs for which he now has leisure. AS
some one put it the other day, he was
not too old for foreign minister, but
at his time of life he is not young
enough to become prime minister. OF
the prime minister's curious detach-
ment from current affairs, and of his
occasional lapses into forgetfulness
many stories are being told. One re-
lates to public affairs and to public
occasion Everyone remembers the
extraordinary attack which he made
last year in the House of Lords upon
the treasury, and his subsequent re-
traction. It is well known that the
retraction was caused by the fact that
Sir Francis Mowatt very naturally
took the attack as personal matter,
and sent in his resignation according
ly. The prime minister, it is said, was
never more surprised in his life. He
had no desire to make a personal at
tack upon anybody, and he could, and
| did, truthfully say that least of all had
| he any intention to make any refec-
ton upon Sir Francis Wowatt. What
he thought-so the story rums-was
that the permanent head Of the treas
ury was still Sir Reginald Welby

youth analyze the life of the million
aire !; if very wealthy, he is more ex-

intrusion and possible assassination
than it does to protect the President OF
the United States. The mass OF beg
glng letters, the carayan OF callers-all
after money, recruits into service sec
retaries, doorEeepers, and a squad OF
detectives. With all his wealth, he is

for the possession Of gold cannot make
him aught else, although money Goes

The sense OF power over fellow NOR
tails is the fascinating siren that holds
him captive. Personally, he has to
skulk into his Office and bury himself
behind walls in country places to Sc
cure rest and leisure. He grows 60
suspicious of humankind, that he will
see no one who is not vouched for
with more pomp and red tape than a
courtier in the palmy days Of the
Rourbons OF France.
Think a moment! Is it the man
with millions alone that you desire to
admire and emulate, whose declining
years have no sunshine or radiance ex-
cept the glitter Of gold? Or is it that
man whose heart and impulse beats
! with love and helpfulness for others
who gives himself to fellow-klud I!
