Mrs. Langtry's English house in Chel-
sea is described as "a dream of beauty"
The flooring of the drawing-room has
been taken up and replaced by white mar
bic, and everything is done on the same
splendid scale. The furniture and decor
atons are said to have cost more than
$4,000.
When Mr.. Patterson, the Australian
war correspondent, was at the Maoriland
Hot Lakes, the local Maoris were very
anxious to hear all about the war, so by
special request he lectured to them. At
the end of the discourse the Maoris all
began to jabber at once, and the trans
lator turned to Patterson with beaming
smile and said: There is one ting none
of us understan'." What is that?" IF
tie troops SO hungry why not eat tie
Boer?"
1t is declared that no woman in
huences national politics so powerfully
as the attractive wife of the German
chancellor, Countess Marie Won Buelow
who, in her brilliant toilettes and huge
Rembrandt hat, is frequently the most
important figure in the diplomatic gai-
lery of the Berlin Reichstag The Ger
man chancellor also often brings his
mother-in?law, the venerable widow of
the great Minghetti, who, since she play
ed prominent part in the shaping of
Count Buelows commercial policy with
respect to Italy, has obtained the sobri-
quet of State Mother-in-Law. These ap-
pearances in the political world are a
new departure of the home-loving Ger
man woman.

Rarified Humor of the Rockies.

High up on the Laramie Range there
is little station called Sherman-a mere
watering place for trains on the Union
Pacific Railway, says the Saturday Even
ing Post. Nearby it is a gigantic pyra-
mid of stone, sixty feet high and sixty-six
feet square a the base, which was set
up by the railway as a monument to
Cakes Ames and Oliver Ames.
In the later eighties there arrived at
Sherman a shabby person of melancholy
aspect, who put up a ''shack"-Western
for shanty-not far from the monument
Ostensibly he was prospecting, and he
continued to prospect for three years with
out accomplishing any results, so far as
could be observed. At the end of that
period the management of the Union Pa
citic received from him a communication
demanding the immediate rmoval of the
monument from the premises which he
claimed as his under the Homestead law
The matter was regarded in a humorous
light at first, but subsequent proceedings
developed the fact that the squatter had
what lawyers call case"
The stranger, it seems, had located on
a section of land which did not belong
to the Union Pacific-the same section on
which the monument had, by an inadvert-
ence, been placed. He knew very well
what he was about, and the upshot OF the
affair was that the railway had to pay
5000 for the squatters tract in order to
make it's title good
The monument. by the way, is distant
only about 100 yards from the station,
and it is a favorite trick of experienced
persons to induce green travellers to at
tempt to run to the pyramid and back
during the two minutes of the train s
wait In nine cases out of ten they fall
on the way back bleeding at the nose,
the air being so rarifed at that eleva-
ton of $500 feet as to forbid such exer-
else.

SCANDAL IN THE PHILIPPINES.


Reports from the Philippines that the
United States have been robbed there,
right and left, by officers connected with
the commissary department of the army
do not create surprise. The wonder is
that there have not been such reports be-
fore this. There are many men no doubt
connected with the volunteer force in the
Philippines who enlisted because they had
nothing else to do and wanted adventure
o. some sort. The moral sense of some
OF them is not in eli probability very fully
developed. They are strictly honest as
long as they are out of reach of tempta-
ton, but they cannot resist putting their
hands into Uncle Sans pocket when they
think they can do so without being de-
tected
Being far from home and thinking they
see a way in which to improve their ma
terial affairs without much risk, they deal
with the property of the government as
if it were their own. According to the
dispatches not much has yet been dis
covered,of the practices of the guilty par
ties, but enough has been made public 10
justify the conclusion that an investiga-
ton would reveal deplorable state OF af-
fairs.
1t is to be regretted for the good name
of this country that wrong doing has been
discovered among the officers of the army
1t was hoped that the army would so con-
duct itself that il would make a good i'm
preston on the natives. Now the Fill
pinos will say that the Americans are but
little better than were the Spaniards, who
were in the Philippines 10 fill their
pockets.
One of the strongest arguments against
colonial system is the difficulty in get
ting honest men to administer the col
onial government. If the corruption
be confined to the colonies it might be en-
dured, but it cannot be so confined It
is certain to reach the dominent country,
and to permeate all classes of officials.
1t is a safe prediction that if the Philip
pines are held as a permanent possession
by the United States there will soon be
noticeable amount of corruption in official
life. It viii show itself first in the
administration of the islands and will then
gradually make it's appearance in the
home government.
An encouraging sign is that there does
not appear to be any purpose on the part
Of the government to conceal the scan
dals in the Philippines. The best way TO
deal with them is to make them public
The publicity that was given to the Nelly
and Rathbone affair in Cuba had the
effect of checking corruption there-at
least no other scandals have cropped out
If that affair had been concealed the
chances are there would have been half
dozen other similar scandals before this
time. AS far as known there has been no
concealment by the government of the al
legged stealing in the Philippines. If there
has not and the guilty parties are prose-
cuted corruption in the military and civil
government there will receive a setback
that will be a guarantee against other
similar scandals in the near future.

Three million acres Of land in the Kiowa
Indian Reservation are to be thrown open
to homesteaders on Sept. next There
will be 1880 homesteads. 1t is said in
Washington that the officials fear the
rush that would follow If the lands were
opened in the old way, and are discussing
the advisability of dispoeing OF the lands
by lottery. Secretary Hitchcock is con-
sidering the scheme of having each home
stead numbered. putting all of the num-
mers into a wheel and having them drawn
out one az a time by a hlindfolded boy.
Some OF the officials think the plan would
be analogous to the drawing OF a jury.
while others say II would be the same sort
OF a lottery that Congress has prohibited
within the United States.

Two booty companions were wandering

they drew near to an object dimly out

Mark Twain is pretty well along in
years, nevertheless he evidently believes
in the strenuous life. He has not yet
gotten well out of his controversy with
the missionaries, in the matter of his
article to THE Person Sitting in Dark
ness" when he invites the wrath of wo-
mankind with his 'translations" from
Adams Diary" In these "transIations"
Mark, with his old-time wit and satire,
introduces Eve as 1.-THE new creature
with long hair who intruded upon
Adam and insisted upon talking and
naming the other creatures before he
could get in a word edgeways. And her
reasons for some of the names bestowed
were what Mark believes to have been
decided womanly. She gave the Dodo its
name because" she said, lit looks like
a Dodo." Once when Adam built himself
a shelter from the rain the new creature
intruded and talked. 1t said it was a
"she," and that it's name was Eve" and
when Adam tried to put it out 1T shed
water out of the holes 1t looks with and
wiped II away with the back of its paw"
After while however. Adam became
rather fond OF the new creature"

The Chicago Chronicle Dem.) SAYS:
Gen. Macarthur reported to the War

a reward for the brilliant service that he
had rendered. If Admiral Sampson had
been actuated by a similar spirit. giving
Admiral Schley credit for his part i'm the
great victory at Santiago, a naval and
national scandal of three years world
have been averted and both admirals
would have received their proper re-
wards"
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
Qnd) says: Senator Frye. according to
latest accounts, is to resign the chair
mapship OF the Senate Committee on
Commerce to take that of the Commit
tee on Foreign Relations. This will sore

by his fellow senators as a little too ag-
gressive in his International views for
such a position. But how Frye can be
considered less aggressive or jingoish Is
mystifying."

Dem.) says: THE suggestion of large
emigration of negroes TO Cuba and the
Philippines seems to find no response
among the negroes in this part of the

If 1t is true that Prof. Gaylord of the
University of Buffalo has succeeded in
isolating, identifying and propagating
the bacillus of cancer, it would be diff
ficult to Overestimate the benefit that may
accrue to the human race. Official re-
ports show that cancer has been increas-
ing at a considerable rate, not only in
some states of this country, but in Eu-
rope as well. In England lately a special
commission of eminent medical men has
been gathering data and conducting ex-
periments with view to discovering, If
possible, the cause of and cure for the
terrible ailment. The public will follow
the course of Prof. Gaylord's experiments
with deep interest, and pray that his eff
forts may be attended with the fullest
measure of success. "A specific for cancer
