Thus the British doctrine that the islands will never amount to anything industrially un- less the Chinese be allowed to over run them is overthrown by American experience, just as many other Brit ish colonial precedents" are being overthrown.
 The much-debated 'sfriar question:" Gen. Macarthur believes, will easily be settled by the straightforward ap- plication of our principle of the ab- solute separation of state and church. Properly speaking and in broad. scope" he says, @there is no church question: Common-sense Americans have long held Gen. MacArthur's evil dent view. That is, to give the friars exactly the same protection given others, and let the people have such priests as they wish. Then let con- troversies over property be settled by the courts in the ordinary way.
 gro doubt the wisdom of the Unit ed States remaining in the islands," says Gen. MacArthur, in conclusion, "is to doubt the stability of repub- lican institutions, and amounts to declaration that nation thus gov erned is incapable of successfully re- sisting strains that arise naturally from it's own freedom and productive energy" That is why the, United States stays in the Philippines and will there remain. Their future will depend chiefly on the fitness of the natives for self-government, and to some extent on the construction of our constitution by the supreme court.

Cuba produces no tobacco for chew ing or for pipe-smoking. The Cubans who smoke pipes might be counted on one's fingers without making a sec ond round on the fingers.

Chicagor Bankers Urge Senator CuI- Iom's SOn-fn-Lav for Comp

A current political story is that William Barret Ridgely, of Chicago, may succeed Charles c. Dawes as comp trollerGaof the currency. Shortly after Maj. Mckinley was elected to the pres idency the first time he appointed Mir. Ridgely postmaster at Springfield. Mr. Ridgely resigned in 1899 10 become sec retary of the Republic Iron and Steel company, with headquarters in Chi cago. Since that time he has been resident of Chicago.

ITS AIMS ARE NOBLE.
Plan of the Christian Builders
 Union of Chicago.
Would Restore Harmony Between Capital and Labor by Making the Golden Rule the Guide of
 Every Transaction.

If the Christian Builders union succeeds in it's purpose the time will come when there will be neither Ia- Dor unions, strikes nor lock-outs. Every man in the building trades will be a teetotaler and Christian gen. tleman. It is hardly expected that buildings will be erected in Chicago to an accompaniment of prayer and psalm singing, but there will certain ly be praise and thanksgiving if the new organization accomplishes it's aim. If employers and employees have differences they will apply the good old golden rule, and strive with good will and mediation to reach just solution of their difficulties.
 ''I found I had to quit either my church or the union, said Henry P. Berck, a contracting carpenter at 1oso West Harrison street, Chicago, who has been the prime mover in the new organization. At the union meetings many of the men cursed and fourished revolvers, and as Christian man I concluded it was time for me to get out. I noticed also that the old unions worked against each other, and that many of the members were addicted to drink, which is the great curse of mankind. It seemed to me that it was time Christian workingmen got together to form an organization and do business on Christian principles.
 "Our union started with 60 charter members, and we have many appHca- tions from men in all parts of Chicago, and even from other states. Our or ganization does not attempt to fix scale of wages, and it is wholly differ ent from the old unions. It takes in employers as we'll as wage workers. We also admit dealers in building ma

terial, and we shall take in honest real honest men among them.
 eIn order to be admitted to full membership man must be a Chris tian, but we will take others on proba- tion. We shall have devotional meet ings at the churches from time to time, and we purpose organizing a ! Catholic. branch for the benefit of members of that church, several of whom have asked to join. As all mem bers will be Christians, business will be done on the Christian policy of live and let live. There will be no strikes or lockouts, for if employer and em- p1oye can't agree they will go their separate ways. Every member must sign pledge promising not to touch, taste or handle any intoxicati ting liquor while a member of the organization. We believe liquor to be the cause of many evils, especially among working men, and we intend to fight it all along the line. We shall also discourage the use of tobacco, and members are ex- pected to abstain from profanity.
 "You ask how our union is going to n6lp US m0mDOTS III d IudUCTldI way We'll, here is printed list of the mem bers just issued. It contains all their names and addresses, classified by trades, and contractors are indicated by stars, This directory will be issued from time to time and will be an inn portant feature of the organization, We expect members to help their fel- lows. Christian contractors will nat urally prefer to employ Christian men. On the other hand, laboring men can apply to these contractors with the assurance of receiving Christian treatment. Members are expected to aid each other in finding employment. If one of them hears of an open job he will notify some friend in the union who may be in need of work. In other words, the union will run on the prin- ciple of cooperation and Christian helpfulness. When we are thoroughly organized we believe it will be possible to put up building without the labor disturbances now so common.
 MT. Berck has been chosen president of the union. The vice president is c. D. Hill, a contracting painter at ETA Claremont avenue. The secretary is Frank Marshall, a carpenter at Har- vey, and he has an assistant in the per son of w. T. Hart, cabinet maker at Wrightwood and Ayers avenues. The

HAD NARROW ESCAPE
An Incident of Capt. Hobson's
 Stay at Madison, Wis.
Mercenary Newspaper Corresponds ents Put Up an Osculatory Job on Him, But the Scheme Failed
 DfamaIIy.

Capt. Richmond Pearson Hobson, of Merrimac fame, came near being kissed as of old when he delivered an address at the Monona Lake assem- < bly,, near Madison, Wis.,, on the clos Ing day, August ?.
 This year Capt. Hobson was se- cured for lecture. As result the Milwaukee papers ordered several hundred words and some few of the Chicago papers asked for 15O. This was far and out ahead of the usual run of affairs, but still the corre- sPondents grumbled.
 Capt Hobson was to speak on Fri day afternoon. Early that morning several ambitious correspondents got Together and hatched little plan, which was nothing more nor less than to have the warrior who had succumbed to osculatory attacks so many times kissed again. If this scheme could be arranged and skill fully carried out it meant a cozy it- tie check for each of the several pro- moters.
 At the lone summer theater in Madison was girl that week with pretty face and undauntablel nerve. To her the plan was unfolded, and the conspirators were informed that Miss Bonnie Maie was billed to kiss Capt. Richmond P. Hobson at the Monona Lake assembly that after noon. Each correspondent saw an imaginary R. s. V. F. on the direc- tions from his paper, and smiled in glib anticipation.
 Permission to sit on the platform was secured from Secretary James F. Moseley, and in the afternoon Bon nie Maie and friend were escorted across the lake by one of the news paper men. On the boat the young lady occupied her time rehearsing g

 Howison is one of the youngest re- tired officers of his grade, having been retired October 10, 1899, when he reached the age of s2. During the early lart of the war he served prin- cipally on blockade duty, but later participated in the battle of Mobile bay as commander of the United States ship Bienville. It is rather an interesting coincidence that he was in command of the cruiser Vandalia at Samoa, which later went down in the hurricane in Apia harbor while flying the flag of Rear Admiral Kim berly, who had succeeded him as se-

little piece, which ran something like this:
 .'Is this Capt. Hobson? I have never seen you before, Capt. Hobson, but have heard lots about you. Is it too late for me to kiss war hero?"
 The last question was superfuous. It was to be answered while the charming young lady was performing the deed for which she begged.
 Everything worked like a charm. Bonnie Maie and her friend were seated on the platform just before the great Hobson began to speak. For full hour and half the cap tain thundered out his plea for a larger navy.
 Finally, with last mighty burst of patriotism about the American flag floating as symbol of free in stitutions wherever our navy chanced to be, he bowed his thanks and stepped back. Hardly had he done so before little bunch of white fem ininity rushed across the platform, and moment later the astonished Capt. Hobson looked down at pair O1 p1edulHS D1ue eyes ana two red lips of tempting sweetness.
 Just at this point opinions of what took place differ. The audience, says the Chicago Tribune, composed large ly of preachers and their families, saw a charming young lady whom they did not know rush across to the speaker, look up at him and apparent ly ask him some question. He smiled, said something, and waited. The lit tie miss asked another question, and the big six-foot hero drowned just a trife, hesitated, and finally shook hands cordially. Those who watched from the front idly wondered what the conversation was about, but be- yond that they hazarded no guess as to the incident.
 The newspaper men were on the qui vive when Bonnie Maie greeted the speaker. They saw what the rest Of the audience did, but interpreted it far differently. When Capt. Hob son merely shook hands they groaned inwardly and waited for Miss Bonnie to explain.

 Dr. Capitan, weIl-known ethnoIo- gist, writing on this subject. says; There are two forms of this singular phenomenon, the true and the hybrid. In the true form, as seen in the case of the marquis servant, the supernumer- ary fingers and toes are complete ad- ditiona1 members, the fingers being usually placed beside the thumbs and the toes beside the great toes. In the hybrid form, on the other hand, the additional fingers and toes are merely result of the division which has taken place in the regular members.
 SsThe thumb is the part usually af- fected, and it may be divided at the first joint, though the division gener- ally starts at the base. All the other fingers may be divided in a similar manner; indeed, as many as Is fingers have been found on one hand. Atavism is evidently the cause, but one would have to travel very far back in order to discover the origin of such fingers and toes

He made the famous long distance cruise around Africa in the Chicago, as the last act of his active career, arriving in New York the day before Dewey arrived in the Olympia.

 Then the newspaper men, with commendab1e imagination, wired lit tie accounts to their papers of how Bonnie Maie, vaudeville actress, had asked Capt. Hobson to allow her to kiss him, and how he had sidestepped and avoided the rush.
