THE WASHINGTON LETTER.


(From Our Regular Correspondent)
WASHINGTON. d. c.. MAY 6, 1901.
No better evidence of executive
ability can be shown than the
smooth working of n grent business
establishment during the absence of
its executive head. The govern
ment of the United States is one of
the greatest, if not the greatest,
business establishment on earth,
and although President Mckinley,
its executive head, and five of his
chief assistants are on the other
side of the continent, the business
Of the government in Washington
is running as smoothly as well
regulated clock.

Surgeon J. F. Jones, who has just
returned from the Philippines,
brought a young Filipino, son of the
Governor of Rohol. under the Span
ish regime, about twenty years old,
with him for the purpose of ar
ranging to have him thoroughly
educated in English. DIR. Jones
thought some arrangement could be
made with the war department to
pay the educational expenses of this
young man out of the Philippine
revenues, but after considering the
matter in all its bearings, it was
considered best not to establish such
a precedent, and DIR. Jones will
privately arrange for the young
mans instruction in English He is
a good Spanish scholar.

clans and surgeons, IL was proved by
exhaustive statistics that, despite the

despite the fact that diseases of the
nervous system appear earlier and
oftenef among working people than
formerly. nevertheless, within the
past five or six years the average life
of Americans was materially longer
than it was a decade ago-the editors
of the review pronounced it as their
firm opinion that this undoubtedly re-
suited in no small degree from the dis

American physician OF positive cure
for diseases CT the nervous system,
which had promptly been put within
the reach of the public in that country,
and was being used more and more
