Col. Henry Watterson has addressed
an eloquent appeal to Mr.. Andrew
Carnegie on behalf of superannuated
newspaper men. He wishes the great
iron master to endow a home where
the worn-out soldiers of the day and
night may pass their last years in
peace. Mr.. Watterson points out that
the usefulness of the active newspaper
man usually ends at about his fiftieth
year Of age. The average newspaper
man, spending his energy for the good
of the community and the education
of the masses, is more than apt to be
improvident. The end Of his career.
II he fails to win success, is far from
enviable, Notwithstanding his efforts
may have been heroic. Col. Waiter
son therefore invites Mr.. Carnegie to
divert some of his millions from books
to men," and pay a tribute 10 the
profession of journalism by aiding the
establishment OF a home for the worm
out and disabled news gatherers. The
appeal OF the distinguished Kentuekian
is a fine literary effort. At the same
time IL is not precisely clear why Mr.
Carnegie should discriminate against
the railroad engineers, the steeple
builders, the ship riggers, the doctors
and a host Of other persons who fol-
low vacations which require energy and
exhaust brain tissue, In favor Of the
newspaper men. The soldiers Of the
day and night" do not desire to be
singled out as objects OF charity. II
some Of them are improvident now.
would not more OF them be IMPROVE
dent II Mr.. watterson's idea were
adopted? Those who make the papers
would much prefer 10 be considered
49, men capable Of taking care or
Themselves. rather than ~ irnprovident
persons for whom ~ was necessary TO
make charitable provision.

Farmer surprised His wife.

The surprising manner in which a
farmer Of Fulton county. Kentucky.
surprised his estimable wife is thus
related by the Fulton Leader:
"A good story is told of a farmer liv-
ing east of Fulton, who wore his old
suit, the one that Noah left in the ark.
till everyone was tired of it, and his
estimable wife was almost ashamed OF
the hustling farmer who had been in
side of - so long. But one day recently
he came to Fulton TO sell his produce
and while in town he determined to
buy a new suit and, happy thought

suit in the wagon and drove homeward.

and AT the bridge near Boaz Chapel he

They were g0ne-had 1olted out ~ tho

The information respecting the nego-
tiations, for the Danish West Indies is
almost as uncertain and unsatisfactory
as that concerning the negotiations for
the release of Miss Stone. One day
it is said the details Of the transfer
of the islands have been virtually COM
pleted, and then comes the information
that the negotiations have been broken
off entirely. The masses of people of
the United States probably do not care
a row of pins whether we get the ISL

Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans
f"Fighting Bob') is to be sent as the
navy's special representative to meet
Prince Henry of Germany and do the
honors for him. Admiral Evans has
met the Prince before. He saw him
at Kiel several years ago, and had a
long conversation with him before he
found out who the Prince was. The
Admiral says he found the Prince to
be quite well informed. A chapter in
his book details the circumstances and
leaves the impression that the Prince
was much edited by the interview.

Once again Russell Sage is the de-
PENDANT in a suit for damages. The
plaintiff is woman-the fourth wo-
man who asked the courts for some of
Mr.. Sage's money In this case the
woman is said to be a marchioness
and an artist of ability. She wants
$4,000, but the grounds of the SUIT
have not been made clear. Mr.. Sage
says it is an effort at blackman, and
that the woman is suing him because
he would not give her "a privilege"
on stocks for nothing. In this con-
nection the veteran of puts and calls

BLAMEs THE SOLDIERS.
Sow. Gardner Says the Policy Pursued In
Tabas Province Is An Injustice
tn the Natives.

Washington, April 11.-When the
senate committee on the Philippines
met Thursday, Senator Lodge laid
before the committee the report of
Maj. Cornelius Gardner, civil gov
ernor of the Philippine province of
Tabas, to which reference wars made
by Gen. Miles in his correspondence
with Secretary Root. The report is
dated December 16, 1901. 1t has been
withheld. The governor goes into
length about what has been done, and
then recommends that the operations
against the insurgents should be by
force of the natives. He has trav-
eled all over the province with no
other escort than natives. In an
other recommendation he says:
AS civil governor I feel it my duty to
say that it is my firm conviction that
the United States troops should at the
earliest opportunity be concentrated in
one or two garrisons, if the good SEN
timent and loyalty that formerly existed
to the United States among the people
of this province should be conserved
and encouraged Being in close touch
with the people, having visited all the
pueblos one or more times, having lived
such a sentiment once existed. OF late
by reason of the conduct of the troops,
such as the extensive burning of the bar
r1eos in trying to lay waste the country
so that the insurgents cannot occupy it,
the torturing of natives by so-called wa
ter-cure and other methods in order to
obtain information and the failure of in
experienced, lately-appointed lieutenantS
/ commanding posts to distinguish between
those who are friendly and those I'M
friendly and to treat every native as if
he were, whether or no. an insurrecto
at heart-this favorable sentiment above
referred to is being fast destroyed and a
deep hatred toward us engendered. If
these things need be done, they had best
be done by native troops that the peo-
pie of the United States will not be cred
tied Herewith The course now being
pursued in this province and in the prov
inces of Batangas, Laguna and Samar is
in my opinion, sowing seeds for a per-
petual revolution against hereafter
whenever a good opportunity offers. I'm
der present conditions the political situa-
ton in the province is slowly retrograd-
ing and the American sentiment is de-
creasing and we are daily making per-
manent enemies.

MANILA EDITOR ARRESTED.
Excitement Prevails Over Alleged Arbitra-

ers-Protest to President Roosevelt

Manila, April 11.-ENcitement pre-
walls here on account of the arrest
of the editor and proprietor of Free
dom, a local publication, who is
charged with sedition in publishing
an article from an American period
zeal, to Which the editor of Freedom
agreed. He also added remarks of
his own, censuring the United States
commissions rule and saying that
when it started in July last every pa
per in the city upheld it, since which
they had all dropped by the way
side as they would not support ar
bitrary government especially when
evidences of carpet-bagging and ru-
mors of graft were too thick to
be pleasant The main charges made
were that in many cases the Filipino
pfficeholders are rascals and that the
commission has exalted to the high
est positions Filipinos who are no.
toriously corrupt.
These proceedings have aroused
the entire press of Manila and it's
representatives met Thursday and
resolved to send a committee to the
commissioners to argue against the
injustice of the proceedings.
