themselves on their own history,

Appreciating the fact that condi-
tions in our modern cities demand
new methods of administration, the
council devotes great part of its
time to study of the best meth
DDS of administration of charity,
and has sought to carry into prac-
tice these methods; it knows that
poverty and pauperism are diseases
of the body social, and require as
careful diagnosing and treatment
as any physical diseases.
Believing that union is strength
force translated into power-the
council co-operates, and is affiliated
with the forces for social better
ment in various fields.

Women in the Philippines.

at does not seem TO me that enough
attention has been directed to a state
ment to the War Department from tho
Philippines. that the wives of the United
States officers now over there can do more
toward paeifying the natives than their
husbands can.' remarked Mr. G. \.
Sturtevant. of st. Louis. at the Ebbitt.
"The matter is of the greatest mo-
ment, and II 1t can be demonstrated that
American women in the islands are able
to exert such an influence more of them
ought to be encouraged TO go there. The
explanation of it Is that our women.
through contact and moral suasiou, are
instrumental in causing the native wo-
men to want peace. The influence of wo-
man has ever been potent on the actions
of the stronger sex. and the Filipino wo-
men by working upon their male relatives
no doubt can do much toward causing
them 10 abandon hostilities. Here is
subject that ought to be taken up by
some OF the eminent female thinkers and
philosophers. who have in late meetings
in Washington demonstrated their de-
votion TO the highest interests of man
kind"

The manner of designating the resi-

James. President Of the United States. at
the Presidents house. There is only one
other James Monroe in the directory, and

of these were named John Smith. There
were thirteen Browns, including a United

Virginia families at that time was to
have their names appear in the directory

manner II was shown that Mr.. Carroll was
Carroll OF Duddington, this being deemed
sufficient to disclose his antecedents to
those who should enquire. Sometimes it
was exceedingly difficult to set forth the
exact location of a certain house or place

man quoted, and friend, Mr.. Dalziel.

they are frank in expressing the great

"A great many people from the States
visit Scotland every summer" continued
Mr.. Tod, "and only hope they are treat
ed with the same courtesy and kindness
that 1 find extended to strangers, on all
sides, over here. 1t seems to me that
the people go further out of their way
to show things and give explanations
than anywhere else l have been. For be-

DueIing Here and In France.

Syracuse Evening Herald-The great
trouble with this country is that 1t takes
its amusements too seriously. A century
or so ago dueling was all the rage here,
but so many were killed by too enthus-
iastic indulgence in the sport that laws
were finally passed prohibiting 1t. In
France, however. 1t is still one Of the
leading sports. and the list of dead and
wounded resulting from it in year over
there is much less than our list OF foot
ball casualties for one season.

matter and are calling on members OF
organized labor throughout Illinois to
subscribe for this worthy cause. l under
stand that about $4,000 has been raised

Colorado VS.. Kansas.

Thomas. Hon. Charles C. Post. attorney
general; Judge L. NJ. Goddard, Mr.. Platt
Rogers, and Mr.. Henry A. Dubbs. all Of
whom hail from Denver, except the last
named, who is a resident of Pueblo.
The Colorado lawyers are here to repre-
sent their State in the suit filed against
it by the State of Kansas for alleged
deprivation of water supply through its
diversion for irrigation The Kansas peo-
pie think they are sufferers in that but
scant supply Of moisture is left them
after the Colorado farmers have tapped
the Arkansas River with their irrigating
bitches. Attorney General Post. when
asked about the suit. said 1t was an in
teresting one, but he hardly believed that
the State of Colorado could be held
responsible for any diminution of water
in the Arkansas River. The kansans
themselves wanted to use the stream in
the same way that they complained of,
so that their position was, to say the
least, inconsistent.

No TilIman- -McLaurin Duel.

"a duel between Senator's Tillman ana
McLaurin is out of the question" said
Mr.. ]. T. Holloway, of Charleston, s. e.,
at the Riggs. 1.-The sentiment OF our
State is SO absolutely averse to tnat
mode of settling personal difficulties that
no man who engaged in duel could ever
hope to regain public favor. The riga
statute that makes a participant lose 'he
rights of voter is sufficient deterrins
force.
"If we could turn back third of CEN
tury. the voice Of their respective par
tisans would be heard urging hostile
meeting between the two. AS it is, re-
sort to pistols would make them objects
of ridicule The multiplication of rail-
roads and factories has made South Caro-
lima just about as pacific as Massachu-
sets. The code is as defunct down our
way as slavery"

Mr.. OIney and Mr.. Reed.

On the Shoreham register in close prox-
unity were the names of two famous men
Richard Olney. of Massachusetts,, and
Thomas B. Reed. of New York. The ex-
Speaker comes often to Washington; the
ex-Attorney General but seldom
Republicans are pretty nearly a unit
in thinking Mr.. Reed the biggest man in
their party; many Democrats have
parallel opinion as to Mr.. Olney. They
are both considered great lawyers.
Mr.. Reed has eliminated himself from
the political arena. BY his support of
Bryan In 1900 Mr. Olney is thought to
nave an eye upon rehabilitated Democ-
racy. He has been repeatedly suggested
as candidate for the Presidency in 1904
His strength is supposed to be with the

Favors Nicaragua Route.

FayOrs Nicaragua Route.
''The argument for the Nicaragua
Canal, after ALL is that work can be start
ed upon it any day and there is hope for
its completion within a reasonable time"
said Mr.. John n. Popham. former Con-
sui of the United States on the Isthmus
of Panama, at the Raleigh.
Mr.. Popham is largely interested in
Costa Rica gold mines and he has full
knowledge Of social and political condi-
tin1s in the Central American States
Il have maintained for years. he con-
tinued, that the whole effect of advocacy
of the Panama route is to delay the con-
struction Of the canal. The engineering
side of Panama Is the only feasible point
connected with it. In my opinion a good
title cannot be made, and unless our Gov
er2ment should adopt methods bordering
on eonhscation there is no way of getting
legitimate ownership.
The Nicaragua route Is free from COM
plications whether financial or political.
The fact that IL might cost few millions
more ought not to figure, seeing that it
can be built without delay. How much
delay the other plan involves no one can
say, and that Is the very reason all
thought OF it should be abandoned"
