WHERE DOCTORS DISAGREE.

There was recently an optimistic statement by President Schurman of ithe former Philippine commission, re- garding the progress of educa tion un- der American auspices in the Philip pines; but it was evident that MT. Schurman's information as to recent conditions was obtained at second hand. since he has not been in the islands for two years or more. Cover nor Taft has also expressed himself as very hopeful.
 Super intendent Atkinson, in a recent article in the Atlantic Monthly, treats the subject in rather an optimistic vein insisting that the end to be aimed at is the AmericaniZation of the Filipinos. And yet he is not over sanguine. He says the situation does not lack it's hopeful signs" but warns the Ameri- can people against expecting too much. "There may be-" he says, "interrup- tions and setbacks in this interesting and unique attempt to enforce western ideals upon an eastern people-a peo- pie most unlike us. possessing ideals and traditions totally different; but the educational representatives of the American nation, with the saving grace of common sense. will train up, prompt ly and properly, generation of Fili- piro youth to regenerate their own country"
 In sharp contrast to the views eX- pressed by Superintendent Atkinson We find in the Boston Herald a long communication signed by MT. Bradford K. Daniels of the educa tional depart ment of the Philippine islands. Tn communication is dated at Manila. Mir Daniels is evidently lower in authority than MT Atkinson, but it is possible that his humber position has given him a better opportunity to see the practical workings of the American educational system According to him It is chiefly characterized by lack of

SENATOR FRYER MISSION.

Poetic fancy sees peculiar fitness in William P. Fryes long advocacy Of ship subsidies to restore to the ocean the American merchant marine. Eve, those persons who never saw Senator Frye must recognize a sort of approprl- ateness in the fact that the head and front of this movement is the repre- sentative of the state of Maine, along whose coasts so great part of the merchant fleet of half a century ago had its origin. But to those who know him. or even have seen him casually, it seems most natural that this senator of all others, should be the champion of ships and shipping.
 In short, Senator Frye looks like a sailor. of the better class, hign in com mand in the merchant service. His countenance is rugged, his face bronzed as if by salt spray and ocean winds, his eyes pale blue, and his per- sonality forceful and uncompromising to the point of stubbornness. One might almost imagine that. to MT. Frye, the floor of the senate is as the deck of a ship-of which he is the mas ter.
 One of the daily picture papers re- gently represented the Maine senator as sailor-fisherman in oilskins and a sou wester, in the act of pulling in a huge fish over the side of a small ves- sel. The garb was plainly d make up,' but the features were unmistak- ahly Frye's and they seemed to fit the situation in which he was fictitiously placed. He looks ten times the sailor that Senator Perkins of California does: and Perkins served for several years before the mast.
 To discriminating persons Senator
 Frye does not appear in the front rank
 of three or four real leaders of the sen-
 ate. He has not the fine suaveness an1 | uIruffied self-possession and tactical
 resources of Aldrich, or the terse prac- ticality of Allison, or the far-sighted | judicial conservatism and cautiousness
 of o. H. Platt. But he has long experi-
 ence, honest, patriotic convictions
 sometimes marred by persistence not opportune; and a clear, concise, for
 cible manner of presenting facts and arguments in debate.
 To him more than to any other indt- i vidual, not even excepting Senator l Hanna, must be ascribed the success
 of the ship-subsidy bill in the senate.
 His friends, if they were called upon to
 eulogize him-which they consider is
 quite unnecessary-would add that his
 success with the long fight for ship subsidies is the more to be applauded | since he has almost constantly, for several years, borne the arduous bur-
 dens of the presiding officer of the senate.
 :. MT. Frye began his public service in
 Washington as a representative from Maine in the Forty-second congress and he was reelected five times. Then.
 in 1881, he entered the senate as the
 successor of James G. Blaine, and has
 served continuously ever since. He is
 nearly Il years old, but no one would
 suspect it. He is as vigorous as the
 average man of 50, and looks not much
 older.-New York Commercial.

FINGERED AT HIS FAMILY
J. W. Nickum of Portland, Or, Died in
 This City Yesterday.

J. w. Nickum, of Portland, Oregon, died at the Sisters hospital yesterday morning of tubercular disease of the kidneys. He came here about three months ago but returned to Portland to settle up some business affairs. He was about 42 years of age and leaves d wife and three children. It is surmised that his relations wife his wife were not regular. He was bitter against his family. having had q great deal of trouble with his brothers over family affairs. Attorney x. N. Sleeves, who knew him in Portland, said that he once shot at his brother in a quarrel over money matters
 few days ago he made a will leav- ing all his property to Dr. F. F.. Prowell of this city. That was as much of a surprise to Dr. Prowell as it was to any body else. for he had known him only since he came to town. He had done as much for the sick man as he would have done for anyone else in his condi- tion. and so earned the gratitude Of Nickum, who intrusted all his business affairs to him. Day before yesterday he said he wanted to change his will slightly. He said his wife and relatives had no claim upon him and he did not want them to get any of his money he would like to do something for his children. He accordingly changed his will, giving them half of what remained after the payment of his funeral ex- penses, the other half to go to Dr. Prowell
 There is a general opinion that none of the beneficiaries will profit a great deal by the will for it is supposed that he was deeply involved in debt After he had been here for some time he call- ! ed upon Attorney Sleeves and wanted
 to file a petition in bankruptcy. He
 was told that he could not do so until after he had been a resident of the ter ritory for six months. His estate here
 consists of s2,4OO in cash and some per
 sonal property.
 Nickum was member of the Order
 of Eagles and was also a Redman. Dr.
 Prowell yesterday telegraphed to w. G
 Beck, of Portland, who was also men, i toned in the will, informing him of
 Nickum's death. but last night he had
 received no reply.

system. He says that in towns where there are several American teachers they do not work together. The schools are not graded. but each teacher chooses his own hours and pursues his own methods. Educa tional supplies are almost totally lacking. The local native officials are relied on to furnish buildings and seats and other furni- ture, and MT. Daniels recital Of the difficulties and delays experienced by the teachers in getting the furniture well nigh borders on the ludicrous. One teacher spent three months in getting a couple of boards sawed out for seats Then he had no books or other appli- ances for teaching. They were hung up at Manila by some red tape or other.
 Considering the difficulties and the lack of organization some of the teach CTS have done we'll but they have made very little impression in Americanizing the children. Superintendent Atkinson recor..1. ends that the Elslis,l language be made the basis of instruction; but MT. Daniels, evidently in despair Of making the English a satisfactory ve- hicle, says that Eff the Americans real ly wish to benefit the Filipinos, let the teachers learn the languages of the people and conduct the schools in the Filipino instead of the English" He acknowledges that there Is no national language, but he says there is great similarity between the different dialects and contends that if the different tribes were brought into closer contact by means of good roads. inter-island navi- gation and common schools, a national language would soon be evolved.
 MT. Daniels letter leads one to sus-
 pect that the cause of American educa .
 tion in the Philippines may not be in so f1ourishing a condition as represent ed It evidently needs better organiZa- =
 tion-and the question. after all, arises, if the promotion of trade. navigation good roads, etc., would not produce | quicker and better results than the forced school system.-Minneapol | Tribune.

IMMIGRANTS WERE NEEDED.

Instructions have come from the treasury department at Washington to Commissioner Billings to release six Norwegian immigrants who came to Boston on the steamship Saxonia, and have been detained pending a decision from Washington. At the time of their landing there was some evidence show ing that the immigrants came under ar agreement to work for c. T. Austin, farmer at Dell Springs, s. D. Com- missioner Billings recommended that the men be deported, but Senator Kit teridge called at the treasury depart ment with evidence to show that the immigrants did not come under a defi- nite contract. and that, moreover, farm laborers are greatly needed in the Da- kotas. The department, therefore. ruled that the men be allowed to enter. Boston Transcript.

PANSIES IN NEW ORLEANS.
Green Trees, Bright Blossoms and
 Spring Sunshine in Southland.

Sunday forenoon and noon found biz crowds at both the parks, but the un- certain afternoon sky caused the parks to be relatively deserted. It was just the opportunity for those who like the parks best when there are fewest in them. 'Twos company" and the cloudy afternoon was taken advantage of principally by those who like ''corn- pany'' without a crowd.
 But the pansy beds were just as gorgeous as ii the weather had been better and the crowds larger. The birds twitted as merrily in the trees overhead, the deer in their confines, moved as gracefully and peered through the woven wire barriers with eyes as soft as the gentlest thoughts Of the couples that noted not the deer, nor the birds. nor the trees.
 The transformation in the appear ance of the parks in the past two weeks has been marked. Moisture was need ed, and supplied, and warmer sunshine has suddenly transformed earthly beds into masses of bright green foliage and brilliant colors of graceful form. The very earth seems to be flCwering, and he who has learned that "a thing of 1 beauty is a joy forever" can visit the public parks today and for the time at , least feel that if he has eyes he is par, owner of the earth and cosharer in it. pleasures on parity with the ownel of the finest of private gardens. The air is his as much as any mans. and beauty belongs to him who sees il while his eyes behold it.

EVANSTON ABoLIsHEs HELLO.

The word "hello," which has been used so universally since the invention of the telephone. has been stricken from the lexicon of Evanston society. By dictum of the cultured suburban ites only such phrases as Good morn ing" or How do you do?" are allowed. The telephone girls have been appraised Of the movement to make the word ob- solescent and have been asked not to say hello" when answering.
 Mrs. H. H. Kingsley, president of the Woman's club spoke of the reforma- tion in telephone parlance last night. When called to the telephone she said. Good evening. Who is it?''
 When asked about the movement to adopt a new telephone greeting she said:
 Yes. there is such a movement on foot. and I am glad to say that it is rapidly gaining ground. The word hello is not a good word. and most Evanstonians have dropped it. I do not believe the word to be the best we can find. We would not use it if we greeted person on the street. Why can't we be as courteous when talking by telephone ?'-Chicago Inter Ocean.
