FEMALE STAMPS.

1t looks very much as il the Hon.
Henry c. Payne. Postmaster General
Of the United States, were up against
a rather stiff proposition Some people
remain awake OF nights trying to in
vent schemes to get other people into
trouble, and we should judge that
member of this class is connected with
the Postotfice Department and in an
incautious hour got at the ear of the
Postmaster General. This plotting
mischief maker suggested to Mr.. Payne
that the head Of some American wo-
man should be put on some OF the
postage stamps of the United States,
and the head the department,
greedilx and thoughtlessly bit at the
scheme
Apparently the inventor of this great
idea anticipated the tempest it would
create for he has not put his name up

men who are proud of the fact that
they are Americans can throw things

are TO be stirred up pending the settle

eorate the stamp is too much for
male imagination even to contemplate.
Not every woman will think sne is en-
titled to the distinction. but what

eligible for an honor so great.

no question of the power of the Fill
pinos as a people to reach high stand
ard of development in any direction. -
sReplying to further questions from
Senator Patterson, the witness de-
tailed the situation at Manila when he
arrived there in July, 1885,. He said that
at that time the natives were besieg-
ing the Spaniards in the city in con-
nection with a few American troops.
The state of amity between the two
forces, he said, was good and the
Filipinos evidently looked upon the
Americans in the light of deliverers.
He said, however, that there had not
been voluntary cooperation with the
Filipinos on the part of the Americans
and that no subordinate officer had a
right to commit Gen. Merritt to such
cooperation.

Boy Confesses to Pntricide.

Paw Paw, Mich, April 12.-The eX-
animation of Glenn France, aged IS,
who, with his mother and two sisters,
was arrested at Manton, Mich, Thurs
day, on the charge of having killed
Caleb France, the boys father, was
held here Friday before Justice Row
land. The members of the family
were arrested on evidence gathered
by private detective which tended to
show that Caleb France, who was sup
posed to have committed suicide on
February last was murdered by his
SON. The officer exhibited statements
purporting to have been signed by
Mrs. Effie B. Forman and Lulu France,
sisters of Glenn, that the boy had shot
his father. On the witness stand Fri
day the two sisters swore that Caleb
France had become angry because
Mrs. Forman, his daughter, proposed
going north to join her husband and
that she intended taking her baby
with her. Mrs. France sided with her
daughter and thereupon France
knocked his wife down on the bed
and began to choke her, saying he
would kill her. Glenn then came into
the room and shot his father, who died
almost instantly. The boy afterward
confessed to the court that he did the
shooting. At the time of the tragedy
it was given out by the mainly that
France had shot himself

Butter Scorers.

Minnesota is again at the top of the
heap in butter honors. B. B. White,
of the state dairy and food department,
received a proposition from the COM
mittee in charge of the National Cream
cry Buttermakers' association, to assist
in scoring in the six-months national
butter contest which is to be held soon.
Prof. T. l.. Hacker, of the state school
of agriculture, received a similar prop
osition. If they accept, this state will
have the honor of two members on the
scoring force of this most important
contest.
When the contest was first suggested
the committee, in estimating the pos
sibility of securing the necessary num-
Der of entries, counted on Minnesota
to furnish one-third of the total num-
Der. Within week it was plain that
their estimate was none too high. Out
of the first fifty entries this state had
Swenty-four. Out of the first 100, Min
nesota had forty-one, and now that the
con test is assured, Minnesota has more
than one-third of the total entries.
The contest will be the first of it's
kind ever held, and will bring the but
termakers of the United States in po-
sition to compete with each other.

FILIPINoS BORN ARTISTS.
Capable of High Development,
Says Gen. Macarthur.

Washington, April 12.-When Gen.
Macarthur resumed his testimony be-
fore the senate committee on the
Philippines Friday Senator Dubois
asked number of questions concern
ing. the efficiency of Philippine labor.
The general said there were about 400
natives employed in certain corral
in Manila, and for this work they re-
ceived SIS in gold per month while
Americans received $40. The Filipinos
were, he said, quite efficient in this
work, and while this pay was entirely
out of proportion to that received by
the Americans it was so much more
than they had been in the habit of
receiving that they were spurred to
extra effort. He also expressed the
opinion that the natives would be
found equal to the task of cultivating
the agricultural lands of the islands
if sufficiently paid for the services.
Still it was possible that this labor
might not be equal to the demands of
American and European eXploiters.
In this connection he repeated his con-
viction that it is not desirable to I'M
duly exploit the islands, and if this
were to be done excessive wages would
be necessary to secure results.
Replying to Senator Patterson Gen.
Macarthur said there were few fac
tories in the islands, but that he be-
lieved the Fiipinos were capable of
development as artisans. ''They are
successful" he said, wherever deft-
ness of touch is necessary. They are
of artistic temperament and will take
high rank as artists. They are full of

Detroit, Mich, April 12.-Prof. Jo-

to committing the murder of Carrie
NJ. Jennett.
After being in the sweat box one
hour and 20 minutes Miller broke down
and confessed to the crime. Assistant
Prosecutor Merriam, three officers and
the official stenographer of the police
department., were present. Miller
said that he had illicit relations with
the girl and was responsible for her
condition. He said he had offered to
send Miss Jenett to lying-in hospi-
tai, but she refused-to go, insisting
that he leave his family and go to some
other city with her. This he would not
do. Wednesday night when he start
ed from home for the lodge meeting he
had an engagement with the girl and
intended to kill her.
When asked why, he mutilated her
so. Miller said he had no recollection
of anything after the first blow until

Immigrants.

Minnesota stood seventh in the num-
Der of foreign settlers received through
the port of New York during 1901.
The states receiving more than Mime
sofa, with one exception lie on the At
lantic seaboard territory.
During 1900 the state received from
immigration through New York 1885
settlers. Last year the number was
5,58s. Other states in adjacent terri
tory obtained no increase whatever,
and in all of them the total number of
new settlers was but fracti on of what
Minnesota received.
North Dakota obtained 1856 of the
immigrants, a decided falling off.
South Dakota received 2,103; Montana,
LIS; Washington, 1868; Oregon, 52s.
The total immigration for the year
amounted to 412,416 persons, against
81 500 for the previous year. The i'm
migrants were of more than thirty ma
tionalities, those of southern Europe
predominating. This is taken as the
cause for the heavier settlement in the
seaboard states. Illinois was the only
inland state leading Minnesota.
