FURNISHING SOUVENIRS
@@ ~ o. 80

Hotels find that the furnishing of souve-
Mrs to their patrons is very large item of
expense, and in case of the larger houses
sometimes runs into thousands Of dollars
year These souvenirs consist principally
of silver forks, spoons, saltcellars and such
articles of table furniture as are readily
carried away without attracting attention.
The proprietors do not intend to furnish
these things to enable their patrons to re-
call pleasant memories of hospitality; but
they do furnish them, just the same.
The large hotels of the metropolis are
great sufferers, and are continually buying
expensive tableware to keep up the supply
of souvenirs.
These things are not always taken with
out the act being observed, but 1t Is not
often policy to call attention to the patrons

spoken to, it is usually in the privacy of the

A Pan-American Exposition story is told
that illustrates this habit, but the same
story has come from other cities of great
fairs. Two pupils were telling their teacher
of presents their parents had brought from
Buffalo.

outdoor costume worn by Mile. JouSset in

of a pastel pink shade, could be made in a

nuirements of the present season, such as

eoually becoming. The neck is encircled by
n band of Byzantine embroidery, in sub

A M007ED QUESTION
Who Will Direct Affa rs in the
Philippines?
NEW GOVERNMENT ON JULY /.
The Law Says the President Shall s..
lect the Men-Expectcd That Some
Cabinet Officer VIII Ee the Direct
Ing Power Behind the Executive.

Washington, april 9.-The news
from Manila regarding the establish
ment Of civil government is In accord
with information already made public
here that the new Philippine govern
ment will be established about July l..
Immeditely upon the passage of the
army appropriation bill the entire
Spooner amendment was cabled to the
Taft commission and the commission
was directed to prepare plan for the
government of the islands in accord
ance with the law. This plan has not
yet been completed, but 1t Is expected
to be about the time of the return of
the commission to Manila, and It will
be cabled uere for approval or amend
ment.
The civil government proposed Will
not be very elaborate, but sufficient to
meet the present requirements.
One of the most interesting features
is the question as to who will be In SUI
preme authority under the president.
The law says that "all military, civil
and judicial powers necessary to gov
ern the Philippine islands shall be
vested in. such person and persons as
the president shall direct" The Ian
guage has been weighed very carefully
and the designation person" followed
by persons" is taken to mean that
the president shall name some one to
have supreme command under his own
direction, and that the persons shall
be those acting under that command.
Judge Taft, it is understood, is to be
the governor of the islands. but it will
be necessary to have some one in
Washington to act as the medium of
communication between the president
and the governor. There Will be
great deal Of business with which the
president cannot burden himself, and
some cabinet officer will be selected to
have charge of the Philippines, as well
as other insular affairs.
Authority over the Islands probably
will be exercised by the president
through Secretary Root, as the secre-
tary already is familiar with the gov
ernmental machinery Of the Islands.
More than this, the law specifically as
serts that the military, as well as civil
and judicial powers, shall be exercised
in the islands, and it is not believed
feasible to divide the responsibility, as
for many years to come there must be
Joint. and harmonious action by the
civil and military authorities. =

Lansing, Mich. April BY the

Minis:

taxation are hereby requested to re-
port out Tuesday, April 8, senate bill
218, being bill for the levy and as
sessment Of taxes on railroads, ETC.,
and that the same be placed on the
general order"
The bill was introduced by Senator
Palmer at the request of the executive
committee Of the state grange. 1t is
very similar to the Oren bill that was
killed in the last special session of
the 1899 legislature. Senator Nichols
who is an avowed candidate for the
republican nomination for attorney
general in 1902, strongly urged the
passage of the resolution. The Palmer
bill Is also similar to the Nichols-Kelly

In discussing the bill Mr.. Burch
said:
