MUSICAL.

The coming appearance of Miss
Leonora Jackson, violiniste, in this
city, on the evening of the 18th inst,
at the Carroll Club auditorium, under
the auspices of the Woman's Musical
Club, is being eagerly awaited by mus
ical Wheeling. Immediately upon the
first announcement there was a de-
cidedly manifestation of interest, and
this has been daily enhanced, and from
all the present indications there will be
an audience only limited by the capac-
ity of the concert room.
Miss Jackson is more than the con-
ventional and usual violiniste-much
more. AS a contemporary puts 1t,
from the pen of a competent critic,
she combines the grace and finesse OF
Sarasate with the technique of Ysaye.
And another writer adequately por-
trays her characteristics when he says:
Hers is the certainty of genius-a
true magnitic earnestness combined
with clear, crisp phrasing and a satisfy
ing fulness of tone" Miss Jackson
has an instructive feeling for color and
climax, and she is fully entitled to the
designation of one of the foremost mas
tiers of her chosen instrument now be-
fore the American public, more than
fulfilling all expectations.

Passed Away EARLY Yesterday
Morning
At the Home Of His Son ON Chapline
Stree in the Ninety-FOurth Year
Of His Age-The Second Oldest
Citizen in wheeling.

Yesterday morning at about ten min
utes to eight O'Clock occurred the death
of Louis Speyer at the home of his son,
Henry Speyer, No. Ills Chapline street,
after an illness of a few days. Mr..
Speyer was in the 94th year of his age
and is the second oldest citizen of
Wheeling. He had a very large ac-
q~uaintance and many friends and his
death is widely regretted.
He was born in Hatchbach, a small
town in the province of Hesse, Ger
many, on December 9Th, 1907, and
spent the early portion of his life in
that country. In 1885 he came to
America, settling at Hartford, Con-
necticut, where he established a small
grocery. This he conducted up to
twelve years ago when he came to
visit his son in this city and was in
duced by him to make his future home
with him.
Mr.. Speyer was married twice, the
first wife dying about thirty years ago
and the seconu about eighteen years
ago. He is survived by three of five
sons Henry, Isaac and David.
The funeral will occur this afternoon
at 3:55. The interment will be at
Hartford.

ORGAN INSULTS JUDGE KELLAR


The Intelligencer's man. Ex-Gover-
nor Atkinson, having probably been
defeated for the new federal judgeship
by the Hon. B. F. Kellar, one of the
best known and ablest jurists of south
ern West Virginia, the organ is unable
to conceal its chagrin and bitterness.
Its usual unfairness is especially
marked in this case and is shown in
the following hooking and insulting
headlines over the dispatch telling of
Judge Keller's probable appointment:
WHO IS KELLAR Mentioned for
Judge of the New Federal District
Obscure Character From WEIGH is Sup
posed to Fill the Judicial Bench" etc.
That the In~telligencer takes Mr.. At
kinson's defeat as a personal matter
and is utterly reckless how it vents its
spite on the supposed successful candi-
date is the more remarkable since there
Is absolutely nothing in the body of
the dispatch ~warranting in the remot-
est degree the open insult TO Judge
Kellar in the organs headlines, the
correspondent on the contrary extoll-
ing Judge Kellar's experience, marked
ability and admirable equipment for
the high Office of federal judge.
The bitter old organs m~alevolence
seems to be striking in on its men

Dewey on AguinaldO's Capture.

Admiral Dewey, in New York SUM-
Sometimes think as | look back
over the events Of the last two years
that all of this trouble could have been
avoided if we had known how to treat
the Fflipinos, but | say this fully aware
that hindsight is always a great deal
clearer than foresight. We did not I'M
derstand those people, and perhaps had
we 1attered them a little more, been
a little more diplomatic and a little
less Straightforward, We might not have
touched their pride of race, and things
might. have gone more smoothly.
81 really do not think that Aguin-
aldo had any idea of independence at
all at the beginning. He just hated
the Spaniards and wanted to get them
whipped and he Joined hands with us
because we were trying to whip them.
But the Filipinos were not our allies,
any more than the negroes were the
allies of the north in the civil war.
We used them and they did what we
told them to do because it served both
ends, but there was nothing in our
relations upon which to base a claim
of the existence of an alliance. Ma
Mia really surrendered to me on April
l, because the forts ceased firing at nv
demand and white flags went UP all
over the city. l simply had no land
force with which to take possession.
Under those circumstances the Fill
pinos did what they could; but I re-
peat there was no alliance. Some day
/ hope to write a complete history of
our relations with the Fidpinos. I
have all the documents and when the
Ease is published in its entirety, it will
be made plain that no obligation rest
ed on the Americans to treat the Fill
pinos as allies"

Pittsburg Times.
The new star. because of the many
great changes that are constantly oc-
curing in it, is still the center of in
terest among astronomers, and accord
ing to a statement of John A. Brashear
the data of it will be the most complete
and valuable ever secured of any star.
1t continues to grow small and is
scarcely visible to the naked eye, as,
according to Prof. Brashear's state
ment, it is visible only in the clearest
weather. He said:
The star has constantly diminish
ed until now it is of less than the sixth
magnitude and can only be seen with
the naked eye in the clearest weather.
It's speedy diminution is of remarkable
interest, as never in the history of the
stellar bodies has a star, which was at
first so brilliant, diminished SO quickly.
REV. Father Hagan, of Georgetown
university, has just finished the most
complete map of the heavens sur
rounding it that has yet been made.
He is considered an authority on the
variable stars, and data that he pub
fishes are considered of great value.
His map will serve in making observa-
lions of the star until it reaches the
eleventh magnitude. 1t has undergone
many wonderful changes, changing at
first from a blue white to a yellow and
then to a red, its present color, which
indicates that it has gradually under
gone a cooling process.
Il have received information rela-
tive to the observations of the star
made by Prof. Des Landres, of the
Paris observatory. His observations
have been made through a large spec
troscope that we made for him, and
he has observed that the star is NOV
ing rapidly out of the solar system.
Prof. Lord, of the Columbus university.
has succeeded in securing 10 excellent
photographs, and through the medium
Of these we will be enabled to make
a close and careful study of the star
and its changes since first discovered.
Altogether, i think from the observa-
lions made Of it and the large number
of photographs secured, astronomical
literature will receive the most COM
plete history of a star that has ever
been secured"

CORRUPTION IN THE PHILIPPINES.

CORRUPTION IN THE
We are already being treated to an
exhibition of the inevitable results OF
carpetbag rule in the Philippines in the
unearthing Of a vast nest OF
frauds in the commissary department
Of the army at Manila. A dozen or SO
arrests have been made, and heaven
knows how many are to follow or how
f~ar-reaching the frauds against the
government may be. Suffice it to say
that officers have been charged with
plundering the government by whole
sale and living in riotous immortality
off the proceeds.
We all remember when the newspa-
pers of the United States we're full Of
the rascality and dreadful frauds of the
Spanish regime in Cuba and how the
Americans held up their hands in holy
horror thereat, as showing how utterly
lost and corrupt were the officials of
'effete Spain, who openly robbed the
Cubans first and their W home gov
eminent afterwards. Now we see ex-
actly the same thing transpiring under
the Stars and Stripes, this time Ameri-
car officers being the thieves.
It seems to be an inevitable and I'm
avoidable concomitant of carpetbag
rule, militarism and the government
of alien dependencies and %satrapies far
from home. The chances for immense
profit by wrong doing or c~onnivance
thereat are so prevalent and inviting
that it requires almost a moral stole to
withstand the temptation and admin
lister the delegated authority honestly.
For who cares for the yellow bellies
as Z. B. Rec! cnce called then. away
out there in the Pacific, and who cares
whether they are robbed or not! It's
what they've been used to from the
Spanish. Who is going to raise a pro-
test in their behalf, since they can't
speak for themselves and nobody
would listen to their complaints if they
could!
1t is rather humiliating, however, to
find ourselves down to the Spanish
level of governing dependencies so soon
before we are fairly started on the
imperial highway.

The military bureaucrats at Wash
ington are highly incensed at the rec
ignition of Gen. Fred Funston. a vol
unteer soldier who never saw the in
side of West Point. They say to pro-
mote him for his capture of Aguinaldo
is ridiculous, that to class his achieve
ment as a military exploit is degrading
to the military profession. They de-
clare that at best he is merely a scout,
that his work in capturing Aguina1do
was simply that of a detective, a po-
liceman, and not that of a soldier. Let
the CALLED jade vince. Let the super
coded and outshown stay-at-home
paper warriors howl with jealousy.
Aguinaldo is in captivity and Funston

The death Of Squire MeMallin, of
Philadelphia, removes from the stage a
picturesque figure of the old school of
Philadelphia politics. Squire McMul-
lin was in his prime a quarter Of a
century ago, and his ward was as much
a pocket borough as was ever the pro-
vincial constituency Of the old English
nobility. He owned that part of the
city absolutely and in it was supreme
dictator, not by fear or force, but by
kindness and charity and liberality. 1t
was said of him that he stole from the
rich to give to the poor. and heaven
help the man who spoke i'll of Squire
"Bill' in his own ward. There he was
worshipped and he carried its vote in
the hollow of his hand.
