Miss Ellen Emmett exhibits at the Durand- -Ruel
Gallery a collection OF forty OF her portraits and
sketches OF men. women and children She leaves
agreeable impression. At time in the de-
veopment Of her art it is not improbable that she
may have been Influenced by Sargent and by Zcrn-
they both vaguely recalled by this exhibition
but whoever her masters may have been it is plain
that Miss Emmett remains in possession OF her
own individuality. Her work suggests a facie
brush; IN fact her technique is surprisingly clever
She has great vivacity OF color and OF style The
gallery Is fuE Of the atmosphere Of intelligence
and even gayery- There is seriousness here, too.
Every OF these portraits has the air OF being
good likeness. II Miss Emmett paints With a
certain dash, she also paints with thoughttulness,
and gives interesting glimpses Of character. We
wish, since she gives much, that she might
give more. Her color, which is sparkling. is
sadly deficient in depth and quality indeed. II is
often brittle and shallow Many OF the portraits
have only the passing charm Of snowy sketches.
But Miss Emmet is aboundingly clever that
doubtless her work will in due tine be produced
along lines OF greater thoroughness richer feel
ing and more subtle taste. At present she is a
any TO be commended one Of the most
promising artistic figures made known TO the public
OF New-York in recent years.

BETTER PAY FOR WORKERS.
One of the Appreciable Results Of
the working-Out of Repab-
licnn Policies.

without any great and sensational
struggles between employers and
workingmen very large number Of
wage earners have had their pay in
creased this year, and 1902 is still
young. The gains for labor have been
in many trades and in widely separated
parts of the country. AS a rule they
have been obtained without strikes,
threats or trouble of any kind. Many
employers have taken such action I'M
I solicited.
In all, hundreds of thousands Of fam
lilies will have better means of living
comfortably and laying by provision
for old age. They will be freer and
happier, in nearly every case. 1t is
the rare exception to the rule when
wage earners or those dependent on
them are injured by prosperity and
better pay, says the Cleveland Leader.
The effect upon the industries and
business of the country is also an inn
portant fact to be noted. When wages
go up the consumption of all sorts of
useful and desirable merchandise in
for trade which is so certain and so
powerful.
1T is needless to argue the point that
the rich use far greater quantities of
the products of labor and capital than
the poor and the middle classes are
able to buy. One wealthy family dis
poses of more work turned into cloth,
food, furniture, paintings, books,
houses and other things which nearly
everyone desires than the consumption
OF hundred very poor households rep;
resents. This is not true in regard to
the weight or bulk of the food, of
course, but it is, to some degree, in
the human labor represented by the
things eaten. In other particulars, MS
in clothing and jewelry, the difference
may be as one to thousand.
Hence it follows that whenever any
thing happens which makes large
number of persons little better able
to buy and use what they want there
is Immediately a marked increase in
the demand for the products of indus.
try, through the entire range of bust
ness. In comparison with the stimu-
lating power of higher wages in the
United States all the growth of our
foreign trade is slight matter.
That is why the most selfish Ameri-
cans, even If far from any direct con-
nection with the artisans and laborers
of the great industrial centers, may
well rejoice in the large additions made
this spring to the multitude of Ameri-
can workingmen whose pay is better
now than it ever was before.

DONE FOR THE CUBANS.
The Immense Outlay of Money and
Labor I'm the Work of Re-
construction.

In 1854 it was proposed at the Ostend
conference that the United States pay
Spain 100000, 900 for Cuba. Forty
four years later we entered upon
war to free Cuba which cost us $780,
600 900. We compelled Spain to relin.
quish the sovereignty OF the island.
We took possession of forts, harbors
and all public property. We sent the
Spanish soldiers home at our own ex-
pense. We paid the Cuban troops out
of our own treasury, says the Chicago
Inter Ocean.
We rebuilt and extended railroads.
constructed hundreds of miles of wag-
on roads, brought order out of revolu-
tionary chaos, recognized the gov
eminent, protected the Cubans in all
their rights, maintained an army in
Cuba to preserve peace, and expended
some millions of dollars in buildingup
what Spaniards and Cubans had de-
stroyed.
After all this expenditure of money,
after three and half years of recoa.
struction work, the United States, on
May 20, is to turn the island over, with
out money and without price, to the
Cubans themselves for local self-gov-
eminent.
No other nation ever did so much,
spent so much, for struggling, aspir-
ing people, but IL Cuba, under the pro-
lection Of the United States, go for
ward with her people attached to free
institutions and with her trade fos-
tered by beneficent laws, then the
money will have been well used.

recognized him as one of his heaviest

antly.
"Good-morning, Mr.. Penny"
"Heard about your remarkable

Penny, removing his silk hat and

This plan was his own. He brought
enough influence to bear through his

"Friends, Ell? Who were they?"
The cashier enumerated some of
the most prominent of the younger
business men of the Puget sound me-
tropolis.
"All right" interrupted the CAPT
talist, with the air of a man who had
heard displeasing news. when the

The cashier smiled, for he knew
what Ballaine's winning" meant,
and he reported the conversation to
the president.
But the crowd outside knew moth
ing of this, and only gaped as usual
at the sign. That day it dropped to
$9,5S7.62, and remained there for ten
days, when it jumped to $51,5s7.62, a
sudden gain of $4,000. That night
the evening papers proclaimed the
sale of Mr.. Penny's famous water
front property for fabulous sum,
and conveyed the interesting in
formations:
"The deal was consummated by L.
Fillmore Ballaine, an attorney in the
Times building, whose commission on
this deal alone is $42, o00."
Next day many people looked up
at the big window Of the Elliott Bay
national, but there was no trace of
Mr.. Ballaine's balance. In it's ac-
customed place hung sign which

PRESBYTERIAN CREED.
Revision Committee Completes It's
Labors, and Agrees ON Report
TO General Assembly.

Washington, April 1s.-The Presby-
terrain creed revision committee com
pleted its labors Thursday and adj
journed. The committee agreed unan-
imously upon a report to be made to
the general assembly, which meets in
New York on May Is. AS finally de-
termined upon this report is to contain
16 articles, as follows:
First. God: second, revelation: third, d.
vine purpose; fourth. the creation; fifth, the
sin of man; sixth, the grace OF God;
seventh, election: eighth, our Lord Jesus
Christ; ninth. faith and repentance; tenth.
Holy Spirit; eleventh. the new birth and
the new life; twelfth, the resurrection and
the life to come; thirteenth, the law OF
God; fourteenth, the church and sacra-
ments; fifteenth, the last judgment; six
teenth, Christian service and the final
triumph.
The committee was also charged
with the work of the revision of the
confession of faith by the preparation
of declaratory statement defining
the meaning of certain portions of the
confession. This feature of its labors
had been completed at previous ses-
sions of the committee and was final
ly reviewed and unanimously agreed
upon here. The declaratory statement
deals with chapters and 10 of the con-
fession, the former referring to the
eternal DEGREES of God and the latter
known as the elect infant clause; also
with that portion of the confession re-
lating to good works which was revised
by change in the text. That concern
ing oaths and the pope of Rome clause
will be dropped from the confession.

Queen wiIheImina Very Sick.

Amsterdam, April 1s.-All classes of
the population are deeply grieved at
the illness of Queen Wilhelmina. Prince
Henry of the Netherlands, the prince
consort, is overwhelmed with anxiety
and hardly leaves the queens bedside.
The queens mother is also in constant
attendance upon the royal patient. 1t
is reported that Queen Wilhelmina
caught cold recently while sitting in
the park. 1t is also said that living
at Castle Loo does not seem to agree
with her majesty. The illness Of Queen
Wilhelmina is universal topic
throughout the country, and the va
rious public bodies have expressed
sympathy for the queen and their
hopes for her recovery.

AT THE OPENING OF THIS
BANK TO-DAY MR.. T. FILL
MORE BALLAINE'S BALANCE
WAS $10,0S7.6


For two weeks a similar notice had
appeared regularly upon the window
of the Elliott Bay national. 1t be-
gan on Monday morning, and the
few that glanced at it learned that T.
Fillmore Ballaine had S3,250.07 there
in. just who Mr.. T. Fillmore Ballaine
was no one seemed to know, and just
why the bank should make public a
matter usually regarded as a bust
ness secret none could guess. But
each one who read it puzzled over it,
and looked up at the notice the next
time he passed the Elliott Bay ma
tional bank.
On Tuesday the notice read $4,-
007.O9, and on Wednesday it read $4,-
207.09 in the morning, but was re-
placed at the hour of closing by a
new notice which read $3,941.09. By
Thursday the affair was in the pa
pers, and on Friday the daily balance
was the topic of the town. All day
long Saturday a crowd stood at the
big window and discussed Mr.. Bal
LANES balance of $6,402.09 and passed
comments thereon. At the hour of
closing a new notice proclaimed that
Mr.. Ballaine had $6,o09,o9 therein, and
some wag in the crowd gravely
passed his hat, saying: Lets make
It even money" On Monday morn
ing Mr.. Ballaine was surprised to
find that some one had left a deposit
of 81 cents for him and that his bal

During the second week Mr.. Bal
LANES bank balance climbed more
slowly, but every increase was hailed
with delight by the crowd in front
of the window, who knew neither
Mr.. Ballaine nor the secret of his pc
culiar advertisement, yet who thor
oughly enjoyed both. Not till
Wednesday of the second week did
the notice in the window credit Bal
laine with $4,000. Then man in the
crowd offered to bet hundred that
Il would touch $4,000 by Saturday.
For a moment the crowd thought
he must be Ballaine, and guyed him
numerically, but some one recog-
nized him as a local sporting man,
and his bet was left untaken.
Thursday was the tenth of the
month and Mr.. Ballaine evidently
paid few bills, for on Friday the
balance in the window went down to
s7,432.s7, where it hung till the close
of business on Saturday. Then the
clerk put up new notice and the
eager crowd cheered when 1t read the
figures $1o.os7.62.
On Monday morning a portly man,
rudy of face. grizzled and grumb-
ling, pushed into the crowd and read
the notice. With grunt of disgust

Who are the heroes? They
That rush headlong to the fray
Crying "Hurrahv' as they slay-
Prodded Outlines to glory;
Smearing their muskets with gore,
To boast when the battles are DER
or the parts that they CALAMITY bore,
Ever repeating the story?
Praise for the warrior bold,
With his stripes and spangles of gold,
Let the tale be many times told
or his soul-stirring feats and daring;
Let him claim his reward when he's done
With the sword that he waved or his gun,
And let women Loyalty run
For shreds from the clothes he Is wearing.
But not all the heroes vie
Where the shells and the bullets fly
And the roar of the fray rolls high
That the powers of kings may broaden
Look in the street and view
Men with the hearts to do
What was bravest at Waterloo,
Or at Bunker Hill or Flodden.
Ununiformed men are there,
In the streets Of the city where
The hurrying thousands fare,
Who may quietly turn tomorrow
To show that there's knighthood yet,
And We'll glance at the tale and forget
And bury the warrior and let
Our faces be drawn with sorrow.

FILIpIN O LIES.
Samples of Stories Circulated Among
Insurgents to Bring About
Further HOstilities.

A recent copy of the Manila Ameri-
can, received at the war department,
contains a letter in regard to the eff
forts of the insurgent leaders in Ba-
tangas province to deceive the igno-
rant natives and bring about further
hostilities, says Washington report.
Batangas province is one of those not
yet pacified, and was recently brought
into prominence by report called for
by the senate on the conditions there.
The correspondent of The American
in Batangas says that an insurrecto
commandante has issued a proclama-
ton saying that the United States was
in the midst of bloody civil war, that
a great battle had been fought at Chi
cago in which 1,600 regular soldiers
were killed; that an army of anti-im-
perialists was besieging Washington
and that Roosevelt would be deposed
and ''Dr. Bryan proclaimed president.
In a circular letter issued by an
other officer, it was declared that the
junta at Hong-Kong had received o
cablegram from Berlin saying that the
emperor of Germany was about to con-
fer upon Gen. Malcar a grand decora-
ton, and that in consideration of q
REIMBURSEMENT by the insurgent gov
eminent of all claims to the Caroline
islands, which formerly belonged to
the Philippines, Germany would sup
ply the insurgents with 1900 new rifles
and 1000, 900 Mauser cartridges.
The same officer charges that in
Iloilo the americans established o
public hospital and then compelled
all the very sick people to be taken
there for treatment. 1t was noticed
that some of these sick people died
very soon. That they might not be
bothered with cases the American doc
tors administered much poison. In
this easy way the Americans meant to
kill off all their enemies; consequent
ly all who were true to the insurgent
cause should under no circumstances
be taken to an American hospital"
The same officer declared that addi-
tional chaplains had been sent to the
Philippines, the reason being that "al-
though the United States was consid-
cred Protestant nation, so many
Americans were sept to hell from the
Philippines that on christendom was
scandalized and the pope Of Rome
commanded the president to send more
chaplains to these islands"
The paper adds that these are only
samples Of many such lies circulated
for the purpose Of making trouble
among the natives.
