INVESTMENTS PERMANENT
Why Curtis Did Not Call For a Set
Element
New York Tribune.)

Here is a story of the late Eugene Field
that has never before been printed With
Mr. Field on the Chicago Record up to
the time of the latter's death was William
b. Curtis, known the world over as a
wonderfully versatile newspaper CORE
Spondent. Being in Chicago on visit
once, he met Mr.. Field, who had been
meeting up with some friends and NJ
consequently financially short 1t was
but the work of a moment for Mr.. Curtis
to stake his old friend, and the two
parted with the understanding that the

But Mr. Field did not turn up. and Mr..
Curtis was forced to leave Chicago with
out seeing him.
1t CHANGED that Mr.. Curtis did not visit
Chicago again for a year or more, and
when he called at the Record office he
found Field buSily engaged but with th,.
same old cordial welcome In the course
Of the conversation ii deVelODed that

CONCERNING CALENDARS.
Some Unique and Interesting Infor
nation on the Subject

nation on the Subject.
In the January Era. William S.
Walsh, the Observer, has an exceed
lngly interesting disquisition on cal
ehdars, which contains some curious
information. Mr.. Walsh writes:
Among the Greeks and Romans. al
MANAGES or calendars were not written
for the general public. but were pre-
served as part Of the eSOteric learning
OF the priests, whom the people had to
consult, not only for the dates of the
festivals. but for the proper times
when various legal proceedings might
be instituted. About 300 3. G., how
ever, one Encius Flavius secretary to
Appius Claudius. stole these secrets by
repeated applications to the priests
and collated the information so gained.
1t was really publishing an almanac.
When, as Livy relates. Flavius exhibit
ed the Fast on white tablets around
the Forum. From this time similar
tablets containing the calendar. the
festivals. astronomical phenomena and
sometimes illusions to historical events
became quite common. They have
been dug up in Pompeii and elsewhere.
There are also eXtant Christian cal
endars dating as far back as the fourth
century. which give the names of the
SAINTS, and other religious information
One of the most famous of the cal
endars of the middle ages is that COM
piled by Petrus of Dacia in A. D. 1900
A Ms. copy is preserved in the SaviIian
library at Oxford. The symbolical
Man or Man of Signs Homo Sig
nOrum). still common feature in al
manacs, appears in this book, not it
is cOnjectUred for the first time, SIS it
seems to have been a survival from
the time of PtoIemy's tAlmagesi," a
collection of classic observations and
problems relating to geometry and as
trOnomy.
The first printed almanac was the
Pro Pluribus Annis," issued at Vienna
in 1857. by an astronomer named Pur-
bach. The earliest known almanac de-
voted expressly TO the year of issue
was published by Rabelais in 1888.
ThencefOrth, the ephemeral yearly
character of the publication came to
be definitely recognized by almanac
makers.
NostradamUs set the fashion of in
cooperating predictions of coming
events into almanacs, a fashion that
has continued to this day in all purely
astrological brochures of this sort. de-
spite intermittent efforts to suppress
it by royal authority in France and
elsewhere.

TORTURE OF FILiPINos.

pEPORTS CONTINUE to come from
N the Philippines describing the
water cure" method which has been
| and is being resorted to, under Amer
lean assent if not encouragement to
extract knowledge from unwilling Fill
pino captives. The method was de-
scribed months ago, but the torture
seemed so hellish that little credence
was given 10 the reports, even though
they came from men whose honor was
unquestioned and whose credibility had
never been attacked. Now more testi-
mony is being produced, and if it is ac-
tualiy true that the ingenious cruelty
detailed is actually being practiced. no
punishment is severe enough for those
engaged i'll it.
a letter from a sergeant in the Phil
ippines says:
These Macabebes have a novel
treatment 20 make a prisoner 'habla'
They catch a Tagalo-their sworn enc
mies-and lay him fat on his back, put
club, about four feet long in his
mouth, and a man stands on each end
of this club, which forces his mouth
wide open. They then proceed to
quench his thirst until his stomach
looks like hill of potatoes, and then
they tap him gently(?) on the afore-
said stomach with the butt end of a
gun. If the water does not squirt out
of his mouth high enough to suit them,
they will playfully jump on him, which
usually has the desired effect, and when
they get through with him if there are
any guns concealed or buried around
there he win very promptly produce
them"
Truly, the Filipinos have reason to
believe that death is preferable to
American sovereignty. The cases of
torture referred to may be isolated. but
bad news travels SO much more rapidly
than good news, and a suspicious popu-
lation is so much more willing to be-
lieve the former, that there is small
need for wonder that a state CT war ex-
lists in the archipelago. Senator Money
went further than many anti-imperial-
lists are willing to go, but he voiced the
honest sentiments of large number
when he said in the senate Monday, re-
ferring to the Philippines:
Let them go to the devil and take
care of themselves as far as the Amer
lean people are concerned There
must be some other and better way out
OF the dilemma. Unbiased experts say
the Filipinos are as capable of self
government as the Cuoans. 1t surely
is possible to announce to them that
this country desires simply to estab-
Ish an Independent republic there.
Such a proclamation would, in the
opinion of a goodly proportion of the
American people, result in immediate
peace in the islands.

INDIANS GROW CIVILIZED.

! HE SOOTHING INFLUENCE Of
civilization is being felt in marked
! degree by the Shawnee Indians, who
roam a reservation in the territory OF
! Oklahoma. Fired by the example of
the noble white man the red brothers
captured an assailant of their women
and were burning him at the stake
when a deputy United States marshal
interfered. The Indians have every
right to feel aggrieved.
Years and years ago they were told
that it was improper TO high degree
to burn anybody in a bonfire. They
abandoned the practice entirely, and
were pursuing their several ways in
peace and quietude when they noticed
in the daily papers that burnings for
certain offenses had come into fashion
again. Ever since the pale face came
among them the Indians had been
taught that if they followed his lead
they must become enlightened, pro-
gressive citizens; guided by his pre-
cepts they could not depart far from
the straight and narrow way.
Their untutored minds grasped the
notion that if the white men were in
dulging in hot stake episodes they had
to get in line themselves. Accordingly.
when the Shawnees caught a member
of their tribe after he had assaulted
three women, they felt they had every
right to do as the whites had been
doing. 1t is true, they were somewhat
crude about their work. Instead o,
slicing off the ears of their victim they
only tore them a little; they entirely
forgot to gouge out his eyes and 10 fill
his anatomy full of splinters. 1t takes
pTS ctice to remember all these little
DETAILS and the Indians should not be
Famed, as this is their first attempt
Tor a long. long time.
Their cnildlike intellect will probabl,
lead them to believe they were inter-
rupted because they weren't doing the
work in strict accord with the pale
face views. They were unable to re,
call a case where white men were in
terrupted on a similar occasion or pun
ished after it was all finished. Poor
10 must again be forced 10 the con-
clusion that the pale face is two-faced.
that he has one law for himself and
another for the Indian. The unfinished
Oklahoma event and the completed eff
forts in other sections of the country
make his conclusion inevitable.

NEW RAILROAD BILL.

f CONGRESS, in spite Of the rsilroai
lobby which may be depended upon
TO make a hard fight against it. should
pass The Corliss interstate commerce
act. a long step wocid be taken in the
direction of proper government super
vision OF the railroads of the country.
Mr.. Corl'ss is a congressman from
Michigan, and his bill was prepared
under the auspices of the interstate
commerce law convention The pro-
posed statute gives the commissioners
power 10 enforce their rulings, which is
not the case under the existing law.
The present powers Of the commits
sion consist mainly Of the right to use
moral suasion. That is. if it finds a
railroad company is giving heavy re-
bates to large shippers, as was freely
admitted at the Chicago hearing, all IL
can do is to beg the magnates to be
good. OF course the commissioners are
laughed at. Railroad companies as 4
usual thing. don't treat ali men alike
unless they are made to do so.
Under the Corliss act, the carrier and
every officer or agent Of such carrier
is subject to a penalty Of $1,000 for
each day which it or ne fails to obev
the mandate Of the commission. ANY
carrier which transports or offers to
transport freight at rate less than
that specified in the published tariffs
or who attempts 10 bring about the
same result by meaps OF rebates or Of
fers Of rebates, may be fined anywhere
from $4,000 to $4,000 for each offense.
The same penalty is made applicable to
any shipper who applies for rebates or
reductions in the tariff.
At first glance the new law looks like
an ei:ort on the part Of Congressman
Corliss to legalize railroad robbery.
This is far from the case. Not only is
the commission given power to adjust
the rates on a fair and equitable basis
to & u concerned. but it makes it almost
impossible for the individual shipper to
be Disseminated against and the great
corporations to be favored 1t is not
the heavy shipper who needs protec-
ton. He has always looked out for
himself and may be depended upon to
continue doing so. The purpose of the
law is to put all on an equal foo
ing and it should be passed.
