The New York newspapers have
now attacked the cab situation. The
legal cab fare in New York is fifty
cents, but the cabmen make it a rule
to charge 81 or more, and it is said
the police have upheld the cabbies in
their extortion. If the agitators keep
on hammering at the outrageous Gus
toms of New York they may finally
make the city a place in which one
may live or visit without risking his
life or his money.

The Chilean Congress assembled in
regular session a few days ago, and
already there are rumors in the air
of impending war with the Argentine
Republic. One of the first matters to
be considered by the Congress was a
further increase in the navy. Argen-
tine has lately purchased two battle
ships from Italy. and Chile feels that
she must match her neighbor and ri
val at every move. Some days ago it
was reported that King Edward had
been memorialized by one of the South
American republics to use his infiu-
ence against a further increase in the
ornaments of Chile and the Argen-
tine. This, however, has been author
itatively denied, and the two republics
will go straight ahead burdening
themselves with military taxes. not
withstanding the finances of both are
in a rather bad way.

1t is rather hard to believe that Maj
Waller was sent out with orders to kill
every Filipino over ten years old, as
he testified before the court-martial:
still there is accommodating evidence
going to show that the operations of
the troops have been characterized by
extreme severity. The Rev. L. j.
Bristow of South Carolina, who has
made public a letter received by him
from soldier in the Philippines giving
an account Of cruelties practiced by the
soldiers, extracts from which letter we
published yesterday, is we'll remember
ed in this city as lieutenant in the
Second South Carolina Volunteers at
Camp Onward. Unless Mr.. Bristow
had reason to know that the state
ments contained in the letter could be
relied upon. he would not have given
publicity to them. 1t is inconceivable
that the practices detailed in the let
ter to Mr.. Bristow could be carried
on without the knowledge of the Off
GERS; and if such cruelties are permit
ted by some officers, it is not difficult
to imagine other officers giving orders
such as Mai. Waller says he received. =,
From the paper making section of
New York state there are coming re-
ports of an unprecedented timber
famine" which is said to be "of Sc
rious import to the paper making in
dustry" of the state. such a scarcity
of spruce timber it is said, has never
before been known" All of this, by the
way, is probably preliminary to an an
nouncement of higher prices by the pa
per trust. Usually when a trust gets
in the notion to put on the screws a lit
tie harder 1t causes to be circulated re-
ports of the extreme scarcity of raw
material. Meanwhile Congress has it in
its power to avert any possible famine
in paper pulp stock at short notice. All
it has to do is to remove the tariff on
stock and pulp, and Canada will quick
ly come to the rescue. There is no
scarcity of spruce in that country.

-Four singing dogs are the property
of Mr.. Stewart, who lives at Sixteenth
street and Girard avenue, Philadelphia,
says the Baltimore Sun. They are
beagles and all of the same family,
and, besides their peculiar talent, they
claim distinction on the score of their
breeding. Notice was first directed to
their singing proclivities one afternoon
when the dogs were summing themselves
at their masters feet on the steps of
the front porch. An organ-grinder APP
peared before the house and began
playing some familiar tunes. Imme-
diately Bob" one of the puppies, ran
down the steps and commenced bark
ing earnestly. For a time Mr.. Stewart
thought that he was endeavoring to
brighten the organ-grinder, or trying to
drown the music with his barklns.
But, to the establishment of the family,
it was found that in a crude way the
dog was really keeping time with the
air. When the street organ had been
pulled away the animal endeavored to
follow It and he seemed very crest
fallen when dragged home. The plan
was then conceived of taking Bob"
into the Darlor to find out if he were
really musically inclined. Great was
the joy and establishment of Mr.. Stew
art when the puppy again began keep
ing time with the music, by emitting
little barks, now loud. now soft. slow
or fast, strictly according to the piece
played upon the piano. ''I tell YOU
declared. Mr.. Stewart, 81 have musi-
cal dog, a singer, and he shall have his
voice cultivated" Mr.. Stewart, after
patient effort taught Bob to sing,
and has succeeded, by constant effort,
in training the other dogs to accompa-
ny him in respectable manner.

On Front Street, Nome. never wander

AlaTka dog and his tiny little mate. Last

BREACH OF PROMISE SUITS.
Elm Wheeler Wilcox ENcoriatcs the
Women Who Institute Them.

young woman recently obtained sew
eral thousand dollars damages to her af-
fections from a faithless English lord.
Another woman is suing an American
millionaire for having made some sort of
promise he has not kept. Neither the
English lord nor the American million
aire interests me and they do not need
my sympathy. But | feel the degrade
ton to my own sex when women descend
to this sort of infamy to obtain money.
No woman possessed of an atom of re-
finement self-respect or pride ever
brought herself to face the ordeal of a
suit for breach of promise unless she
had a fatnerless child to support through
the failure of a lover to keep a promise
of marriage.
But just why so many juries are ready
to assist the adventures in matchmaking
a brother man is a mystery to me. There
is only one more despicable human being
on earth-that is a man who sues faith
less sweetheart for breach of promise.
Yet nine times out of ten such women re-
ceive the consideration of our courts OF
sO-called Justice" Perhaps it may be
due to the lurking jealousy in mans ma
ture-he likes to punish the other man
who has received a little more favor from
the fair sex than he has, and to make him
pay for being greater favorite.
Since woman is so loud in her declara
tion of equality" it is time our courts
regarded her from less sentimental
standpoint. If a man has deceived her
and wasted her time in holding out prom
Uses which he has not fulfilled. let her
right-abOut face and make a new future
for herself as hundreds of men have done
under similar conditions. and let her keep
her seIf-respect and pride. The woman
who will even accept money from faith
less lover tmuch less demand it, is the
woman he is quite justified in leaving be-
fore he attaches himself for life to mer
cenary leech.
Real love-the love which endures the
stress and strain of everyday life and
the vicissitudes of advancing years
never on earth could contemplate a
monetary settlement of its losses. The
woman who takes her heartnches into
the courts insults all good. loving, worth
while women. and is not worthy of the
sympathy of good men. However greatly
she may have been deceived. the moment
she puts price upon her grief she ranks
herself with the adventures and the
blackmailer. Real love and real sorrow
are not merchandise.-New York Journal.
