] went to my room about 10. The moon
was shining in through the open win
dow, and the hooking bird was already
in the magnolia. The great tree was
bathed in flood of shining silver;
could see each twig and mark every ac-
ton of the singer, who was pouring forth
such rapture of ringing melody as l
have never listened to before or since.
Sometimes he would perch motionless
for many minutes, his body quiverng
and thrilling with the outpour of music.
Then he would drop softly from twig to
twig until the lowest limb was reached;
then he would rise. fiuttering through the
branches, his song never ceasing for an
instant until he reached the summit of
the tree and launched into the warm,
scent-laden air, floating in spirals, with
outspread wings, until, az if spent. he
sank gently back into the tree and down
through the branches, while his song
rose into an ecstacy of ardor and pas
sion.
His voice rang like a clarionet in rich,
full tones, and his execution covered the
widest possible compass; theme followed
theme, a torrent of music, a swelling
tide of harmony, in which scarcely any
two bars were alike. l stayed till mid
night listening to him; he was singing
when awoke couple of hours later;
he sang through the liyelong night.

POSTAL SERVICE NEEDS
REGULAR FAST MAILS RECON-

Establishment of Pneumatic Tubes

Also Urged.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-The annual
report of Second Assistant Postmaster
general William S. Shallenberger, made
public today, urges regular, direct 1aSt
mails between the Pacific coast and the
Orient, the establishment OF pneumatic
tube service generally and the closer OBJ
servation OF city mail by postal clerks on
railway trains rather than by clerks OF
the mailing division after its ARRIVAL IN

entirely by the railway mail service. sup

clerks from the city post office to go out
some distance on the road to meet 1ncom-s

being made for still closer separation by
having the railway mail clerk or superln-
tendent in charge take the outgoing mai
from the public and see that it IS expe-
ditiously dispatched and also denver

The request for 100000 for pneumatic

The Genius of Hawtborue.

It would be easy to explain Haw-
thornes peculiar temperament after the
modern fashion by reference TO heredity
and environment, says Paul Elmer More
In the November Atlantic. No doubt there
was strain of eceentricity in the fam
lily. He himself tells of a cousin who
made spittoon out of the skull of his
enemy; and it is natural that a descend
ant of the old Puritan witch judge should
portray the weird and grotesque aspects
of life. Probably, too, his native tendency
was increased by the circumstances that
surrounded his youth; the secIusien of
his mothers life; his boyhood ON Lake
Sebago, where, as he says, he first got
his cursed habit of selitude;' and the
long years during which he lived as a
hermit in Salem. But after all these
external matters, and even the effect of
heredity, so far as we can fathom it, ex-
plain little or nothing. A thousand other
men might have written his books if their
source lay in such antecedents. Behind it
all was the daemonic force of the man
himself, the everlasting mystery of genius
inhabiting in his brain. and choosing him
to be an exemplar and interpreter of the

WASHINGTON, Nov 3-Mr. WI.
the Chinese minister, returned to the city

AS he has heretofore expressed him

has served on the mission here for more

The night before Robert Louis Steven
son died he wrote out the following pray
er to read to his family. 1t is too BEAU
tiful and sincere to be commented upon:
I'VE beseech Thee, Lord, to behold us
with favor, folk of many families ana
nations, gathered together in the peace
of this roof: weak men and women SUBJ
sisting under the covert of Thy patience.
Be patient still; suffer us yet awhile long
er-with our broken purposes of good,
with our idle endeavors against evil
suffer us a while longer to endure, and
Gf it may bel, help US to do better.
Bless to US our extraordinary mercies; If
the day come when these must be taken,
have US play the man under affection.
Be with our friends; be with ourselves.
Go with each of us to rest; if any awake,
temper to them the dark hours of watch
ing; and when the day returns to us,
our sun and comforter call us up with
morning faces and with morning hearts
eager to labor-eager to be happy, if
happiness shall be our portion-and if
the day be marked for sorrow-strong to
endure it.

Vice Gov. Wright explained the object
OF the bill, saying that the Spanish code
was unsatisfactory.
There are a number of people living
in the Philippines remarked Mr.. Wright,
who SO long as there is no punishment
for treason wilIgtake advantage of the
fact to clog the wheels of the insular
government. 1t must not be overlooked
that turbulent spirits exist in the pacified
provinces. The masses of the people are
susceptible to inflammatory utterances
and are likely to be influenced by dema-
gcgues. 1t would be inexcusable weak
ness on the part of the commission to
allow the peopleawho are now gradually
drifting to the pursuits of peace to be
aroused to deeds of violence.

in the island of Samar and the prov
ifce of Batangas (LuZon) and at few
other points, due to noisy Philippine ag-
itators have caused a feeling of unrest
in the minds of both Filipinos and Amer

will be to make impossible the very
things these agitators most desire. Such
efforts serve to recruit the ranks of in

No matter what may have been the opin-

fact remains that the Americans are here,

chant who has been here for some time,
said he was opposed to the imposition of
the death penalty for political crimes He
suggested that persons convicted of
crimes against which the bill is aimed
should be deported to the United States.

he considered the killing of King Hum

verses to the petals of rose, the fra

the end of time. He said that charity,
as referred to in the beatitudes, was not
that mere beneyolence which manifests
itself in ostentatious giving. The true
philanthropist, he said, is distinguished
by the discrimination and delicacy with
which he makes his gifts, and not by the
amounts which he gives
