True Southern Courtesy.

Said a visitor to the city: Il have
witnessed two things during the
past few weeks in New Orleans,
which one could not find in any
other place in the world, says the
New Orleans T m SD m c r t.
lone is not inclined to put SO much
faith in this talk about the sord1d
spirit of the age commerciallsm
and all that sort of thing-atter
seeing the things which have come
under my observation.
81 was standing on the street
corner in a very prominent uptown
section of the city. On the oppo-
site corner from where ! stood a
rather elderly lady was standing
with her daughter, evidently wait
ing for car. l did not pay much
attention to them until streetcar
was almost in hailing distance. l
stated across the street to catch the
car. Just as / did so the elderly
lady reeled little and fell in
faint in her daughters arms. |
rushed to the young lady's assist
ance. The street car stopped on
the crossing. The motorman and
conductor took in the situation at
glance. They left their car stand
ing still and went to the assistance
of the lady on the corner. She was
in an unconscious condition, and 1T
was necessary to carry her into her
home, which happened to be on the
nearest corner. The motorman and
the conductor helped to get1the lady
into the house and then returned to
the car.
"Not in a thousand years could
one have seen such a thing in some
of the other large cities of the coun-
try.
I'm another case certain members
of the fire department played the
heroic engagement. Fire was be-
lieved to be fighting its way through
the second floor of a dwelling
house. There was sick lady on
the scond floor. The firemen could
not exactly find where the smoke
was coming from, but finally traced
it to the sick room, and 1t became
necessary to tear up the floor. |
was in the house at the time, and l
never saw men work with more
care than these men did. They did
not even brighten the lady, whose
condition was anything but favor
able at the time. 1t was the same
impulse which l had seen displayed
IN the streets a few days before.
Verify, there are yet many men in the
world, and these little acts make
one feel that there is yet much good
in life.

A Sensational Charge.

A genuine sensation was caused
IN the House Friday by the presen-
tation by Mr.. Richardson, of Ten
nessee, the Democratic leader, of
charges alleging the corrupt use of
a fund of $500,O00 in connection
with the sale of the Danish West
Indies.
The charges we're contained in an
alleged secret report of Capt. Wal
| ter Christmas to the Danish govern
nent, which declared that he had
employed corrupt means to bring
about the negotiations for the sale
of the islands to a contamination.
The report, extracts from which
Mr.. Richardson read, mentioned
the names of Abner Mckinley and
his partner, Col. Brown, c. w.
Knox, who was described as ''inti-
mate friend Of Senator Hanna,
Richard p Evans, who was said to
represent Mr.. Gardner, and his
| friend in the house." and two press
associations, the names Of which
were not given, as having been in
| terested in the matter. The charges
against members of Congress were
not specific. Upon the basis of this
report, Mr.. Richardson asked the
adoption of resolution for the APP
pointment of an investigation COM
mlttee of seven. The resolution
was adopted and the committee APP
pointed
Later it was given out in Wash
1ngton that the State department
will take no steps to bring to the
attention OF the Danish government
the charges against the integrity
of American statesmen preferred
by Capt. Christmas, and Friday
brought to the attention of the
House of Representatives. The De-
partment regards the charges as
unworthy its attention by reason of
insufficient evidence and obvious
error in statements OF alleged facts.
The Department is perfectly aware
also that the Danish government
does not intend to pay one cent OF
TIE $500,00 claimed by Christmas
as his commission, so that OF course
none of the money could be used to
corrupt American statesmen and
newspapers.

PENSION COMMISSIONERS
II. CLAY EVANS RESIGNS

Washington, March 28.-Culmi-
nation of the long fight of the
Grand Army of the Republic
against H. Clay Evans, Commits
sioner of Pensions. occurred Friday
when the President formally ac-
copied the resignation of that Off
cial. This action, the President
declares, must not be construed as
a condemnation of Mr.. Evans. On
the other hand, he is to be provided
with much better Office. He will
be appointed Minister of the United
States either to Spain or Cuba,
probably the former.
Regarding the action taken, this
statement was made tonight at
the White House:
''Mr. Evans, some months ago,
verbally expressed his desire to re-
sign, and finally put it IN writing
on March Is. The President, how
ever, has told him that he will have
to remain as Commissioner, IN the
first place, until his successor has
been determined upon, and IN the
second place, until there is some
position to tender him which the
President will regard as a promo
ton and as fitting reward for his
excellent services in the depart
ment."

Question Answered.

Yes. August Flower still has the
largest sale Of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought of using
anything else for Indigestion or Bill
iousness. Doctors were scarce, and
they seldom heard of Appendicitis,
Nervous Prostitution or Heart Failure,
etc. They used August Flower to
clean out the system and stop fermen-
tation Of undigested food, regulate the
action Of theliver, stimulate the nery-
Gus and organic action of the system,
and that is all they took when feeling
dull and bad with headaches and 9TH
er aches. You only need few doses
of Green's August Flower, in liquid
form, to make you satisfied there is
nothing serious the matter with you.

DEMOCRATS AGREE
ON PHILIPPINE POLICY
Senators Offer Measure Providing In
dependence for the Archipelago.

the Philippine Government to be
offered by them.
It provides, subject to sundry
provisions which are set forth, that
the United States shall relinquish
all claim to sovereignty over the
Philippine Archipelago, but that
the United States shall continue to
occupy and govern the archipelago
until the people thereof shall have
established government and until
sufficient guarantees shall have
been obtained for the performance
OF treaty obligations with Spain,
and for the safety of those inhabi-
tants who had adhered to the
United STAGES, and tor the main
tenance and protection of all rights
which have accrued under the au-
thority thereof.
A constitutional convention is
provided for, the members OF which
are to be selected by voters who
speak and write English, Spanish
or any of the languages OF the arch
ipelago. This convention is to
number 300 persons and is to meet
| in Manila not more than a year
from the cessation of hostilities IN
the islands. This convention is to
proceed ''to form constitution and
organize such government as they
may deem best adapted to promote
the welfare and secure the peace
and happiness of the inhabitants OF
SAID islands. Provided that said
convention shall provide by an or
d1nance irrevocable without the
consent of the United States:
coALING STATIONS TO BE PROVIDED.
"First That there shall belong
to the United States, and continue
to be the property thereof, such
lands and waters as the President
of the United States shall designate
to the said convention for naval,
military and coaling stations and
terminal facilities for submarine
cables, the same to continue under
the control and sovereignty OF the
United States.
"Second To carry into effect the
treaty obligations of the United
States with the Kingdom of Spain,
and for the maintenance and pro-
lection of all rights and property
acquired under the authority OF the
United States.
"Third- That no inhabitant of
said archipelago shall ever be mo-
Tested in person or property on &C
count of his or her adherence to the
United States"
It is then to be the duty OF the
President of the United States to
issue his proclamation declaring
the independence of the people OF
the archipelago.
The President is also authorized
and requested to negotiate an
agreement between the United
States, the Philippine archipelago
and Great Britain, Germany, France
and such other Powers as he may
deem best, providing for the per-
petual neutrality and inviolability
from all interference with the ter
ritory of the archipelago and also
for equal opportunities of trade be-
tween the archipelago and foreign
countries.
Full amnesty is granted to all
the inhabitants of the islands on
account of political offenses and
the bearing of arms against the
United States.
Within sixty days from the cleo
ton of officers under the Philippine
convention, and their Inauguration,
the President is to cause the armed
forces of the United States to be
withdrawn from the archipelago as
speedily as possible.
