Odd as 1t may appear to dwellers In
small cities. some of the down town
restaurants Of New York are in build
lngs IN which no cooking is allowed.
Some of the busiest of the midday res
taurants purchase all their meats and
stews already cooked and merely heat
them through again before serving
them to patrons. This branch of the
restaurant business has reached such
proportions that the mere operation Of
cooking for such places has become an
established business, and owners Of
ovens thrive at it.-New York Sun.

DINNER TO FUNSTON.
Kansas General HOnOred by Fell
low Officers at Manila.

Fort Leavenworths Kas., June IL
Manila mail advices bring an account
of an elaborate dinner rendered Gen.
Fred Funston by the regular army Off
GERS of Manila The affair is described
to have been of a semi private char
acter and most enjoyable to those who
attended.
While General Macarthur was not
present he was represented by his chief
of staff, General Barry, which went to
show that General Macarthur placed
his stamp of approval on the advance
ment of General Funston into the Unit
ed States army.
After dinner several complimentary
speeches We're made General Wheaton
proposed the toast of the evening-the
health of General Funston. The gen
eral he said, had been justly recog-
nized for his gallant services. and he
today stood as the youngest brigadier
general of the United States army in
the regular service He welcomed Gen
eral Funston into the regular army, as
a soldier brave, able and distinguished
The toast was drunk with enthu-
siaSm. after which General Funston re-
sponded and in a modest speech referred
to the good work done by other army
officers-who, in spite of the gallant
services that they render are still UNI
recognized, a fact which he felt would
make it hard for him to look an old
army colonel in the face. After re-
ferring to the assistance given by the
navy in the capturing of Aguinaldo,
General Funston said it was a rare
distinction for a, man to reach the rank
OF brigadier general in the regular army
and still have twenty-nine years of
service before him; he looked forward
with fear and trembling.
General Barry who, as stated, repre-
scented General Macarthur, spoke of
Kansas as being a prohibition state,

LEIDY THE MAN.
Slated to Succeed Taylor on Text
Book Commission.

Through the resignation Of President
A r. Taylor. of the Emporia Norma
there will be created a. vacancy in the
school text book commission to be filed
by appointment by the governor.
The selection of Taylor's successor
will be made from the same candidates
that were put forward when the coma
mission was originally chosen two
months ago. Rumor has it that choice
has fallen upon State Senator Fremont
Leidy,- of Butler, to succeed Taylor.
Senator Leidy was credited with
blocking the book legislation last win
ter and tying it all up in a tangle from
which the proposed new law was never
extricated.
Notwithstanding the claims Of others
are being pushed for the vacancy, it IS
said to be settled that Leidy will be the
man
George w. yVinans, of Hutchinson is
again strongly mentioned for Eaylor's
place on the school textbook commits
sion He was on the appointive list
submitted to Governor Stanley from
which to make selections when the
board was originally chosen, but the
governor did not get round to him. At
that time there was another Hutchin-
son man seeking for place, and Winans'
candidacy could not be heavily support
ed. Orie Morse did not get the railroad
connmissionership, however, so that the
way is now cleared up to push Winans
for an appointment. He is a school
man of prominence.

FILIPTNOs ARE BRIGHT.
Island Natives Pass Creditable Civil
Service Examinations.

New York, June u.=According to a
special to the Press from Washington,
a letter received there from Manila by
Chairman Proctor of the United States
civil service commission indicates that
the civil service examinations which
were conducted recently under the di
rection of the local civil service board
appointed by the Taft commission, were
entirely satisfactory. Mr.. Proctor says
the returns to the commission show
that many of the applicants took the
examinations in Spanish, indicatisg
that they are natives.
Perhaps a third of them had seen SER
vice in the insurgent army under
Aguinaldo This fact was brought out
in the answers which were filed in the
question blanks submitted to each of
the applicants in the examination. This
fact in no way will prejudice the appii-
cants, as they were required to take
the oath of allegiance and perhaps a
majority of them already had complied
with this requisite.
From the reports which the Philippine
civil service commission have forward
ed of the number of those who took the
examination in the islands it is hardly
probable that many of these who take
the examinations in this country for
the service there will get places. Tt is
thought that only the higher salaried
places will be filed by the applicants
from the United States.
Chairman Proctor also reports that
the class of teachers being hired for the
Philippine service is far above the av-
erage in intelligence and attainment
In selecting them the recommendations
of the heads of the different colleges of
the United States were accepted. The
government has been surprised and
gratified at the high character of those
who are willing to accept the service in
the islands.

United States was the greatest of her

Manuscripts at Auction.

New York, June ia dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
At Sothebys the first days sale of the
late Earl of Asburham's Barrios collec-
ton of manuscripts attracted a num-
Der of foreign buyers. All the vellum
manuscripts are Illuminated. many of
them with prodigality and a beauty of
execution rarely seen and the illustra-
tions impart a sense of the high level
to which the art of miniature painting
was carried on in the Middle Ages. It
will take five days to sell the 628 lots
which cost the late earl $4,000 half d
century ago. The bidding so far has
been brisk and high prices have ruled.
The total amount realized by the first
DAVIS sale was 23.975.
