Fulton County Students.

TOD" Skinner, a student of
Mercersburg Academy and son
of Captain Skinner, won cash
prize of ten dollars for highest
class standing at that institution.
If the prize had been eleven dol
lars, or any other larger sum, he
would have won it just the same.
Gaily Chambers, grandson of
Rev. Lewis Chambers, of Big
Cove Tannery, is a student down
at Dickinson College, Carlisle,
and a member of the Junior class
during the past year. Last
week he was awarded one of the
Patton prizes, and, also, one of
the Samuel r. Peel Memorial
prizes-each prize being S25 in
cash. A year ago when he had
been training with the Sophs, he
raked in $125.
1t is a matter of a little quiet
satisfaction to think that, even if
we don't have a railroad, when
our boys go away from home,
they are very well able to take
care of themse yes when brought
into competition with those who
have been brought up under the

Dr.. Garthwaite Gone to Denver,

The. departure of DR.. Garth
waite for the West brings deep
feeling of regret to the people Of
the community, not only among
those who have sought his SER
vices, but I'll others who have
in anyway, been associated with
him.
Professionally DR.. Garthwaite
stands high as his large practice
will testify.
His success was made not only
by his knowledge of medicine but,
also, by his highly moral charac-
ter and by his kindness and
courtesy to all.
1t must be very gratifying tc
the young Doctor TO see his eff
forts crowned with success; and
we wish to extend TO him our
heartiest wishes for a continu
ance of the same ia his new home
which we believe is to be Denver

DIR. DE COSTA LECTURE.
Large Crowd Hears the Catholic Con-
vert at the Grand


DR.. B. +. DeCosta, of New York, a
convert from Professionalism to Catholi-
cism, lectured last night at the Grand
opera house to a large crowd His sub
Ject was From Canterbury to Rome,
or Why I am a Catholic"
People who have been converted from
Catholicism to Professionalism have
frequently been heard on the lecture
platform in Topeka, but it is not often
that the work of the Catholic church is
assisted by the application of the con-
verse proposition.
Mr.. DeCosta was formerly a priest
of the Episcopal church. He considers
akin to the Catholic, and said, among
other things, last night:
There are many lines and lanes in
the Episcopal church which lead to
Catholic thought and practice. The
Episcopal church is next door to Rome -
Mr.. DeCosta. says that the Catholic
church is the true church of republican
institutions, and that the Catholic
church will become the church of this
country in time.
THE Catholic church is the church of
humanity" said DR.. DeCosta- It's
hopes for the salvation of men are
boundless, like it's charity This would
be a sad world with the Catholic church
and immOVable on n arriage and di-
vorce. The denial of the indissoluble
character of marriage by Henry VIII
and Episcopal church which he founded
led to the Protestant divorce court
The Catholic church has never con-
scented to the canceling of valid mar
riage. It has not the power"

ARE CITIZENS.
Ambassador ChOate Instructed
to Issue Passports
To FiIIpinOs Who Applied For
Them i'm London.

London, June 1.-The officials Of the
United States embassy inform the As
ISOLATED Press that the matter of grant
ing passport to the Filipinos who ap-
piled for one yesterday had to be re
ferred to Washington, as it was the
first time such an application had been
made by a person of this nationality.
The FIlipinos desired to travel in Rus
STA, and though the applicants took the
oath OF allegiance to the United States
in Spanish and English, the embassy
considered it advisable to submit the
matter by cable to Washington, as 1t
has frequently done when passports are
required. The embassy is now awaiting
a reply. The applicants were quite con-
tented and thanked the officials of the
embassy for the action taken
Washington, June LIN answer to
his application for instructions, Secre-
tary Hay has directed Ambassador
Choate at London to issue passports to
the two FilipinOs who appeared at the
embassy yesterday "as residents of the
Philippine islands, and as such entitled
to the protection of the United States"
The decision upon this point is of i'm
pOrtance as having perhaps some bear
ing upon the status of the people of the
Philippines. Porto Rico and Guam A
year ago the decision was reached to
regard the Porto RicanS as entitled to
the protection conveyed by an Ameri-
can pass port, but a formal decision of
the test case was prevented through
the withdrawal of the application The
Foraker act determined the right of
Porto Ricans as citizens of Porto Rico
to the protection of the United States
government. It is now held that the
Spooner law conveys the sane privilege
to the inhabitants of the Philippines.
The United States statutes prohibit
the issue of a passport to any but
American citizens. But these later
acts, the Foraker act and the Spooner
act, impose obligations in their turn
which may be regarded as qualifying
the original act and may enable the gov
eminent to avoid decision upon the
question Of American citizenship of the
islanders.
At any rate, the circular instructions
now in formulation which will be sent
out to all United States diplomatic and
consular representatives, will direct
them to issue, not certificates, but
genuine American passports, to the
islanders.
