INOIHER CRISIS IT HA ND.

The Constitutional Convention mas It has already had several crises Another is promised for this week, ana if the Convention can go through this one safely some think it can be saVed from being fatally ridiculous. We shall soon know. Meanwhile the talk of early adjournment is pleasliisi though it will have to be confessed that if that talk is like much of the other talk the convention has brought forth it wont amount to much. But let us hope, just as we always do when the talk about early adjournment Of the legislature begins. The Virginia Con- stitutional Convention has been Tn ses- sion so long that few now living can tell when it began and none now hVlns can tell when it will end. But 1t IS sale to say that the Connecticut Convention will not be like the Virginia ConVen' ton in duration even if it is too much like it in futility.
 One of the interesting things the Convention will act on. or, at least continue to talk on, is the proposition to put into the fundamental law pro vision extending the right of trial by jury to all hearings in damages Tn ae- lions at law at the request or elthel i party. TO many this proposition seems 1 to be an attempt to carry Constltutloh- amending too far. The Constitution
 already declares that the right of tria
 by jury shall remain lnvioate, ana Il | is argued that if any such change as
 that proposed is needed it should anc
 would come through the legislature Sf
 should and would come some other changes which reformers are now Vo
 ciferously saying should and must come

Miss Daisy Dorothy Barber, a lawyer of St. Louis, is a candidate for the Democratic nomination for judge Of the nrobate court and her conspicuous fit ness for the office is indicated by her talk about her candidacy. It appears that she always hated politics and dld not approve at all of women taking any part in political controversies. She feels the same way yet, only she wants to be probate judge. She was going 10 run for justice of the court of appeals but twelve years is too long term. The probate court is better, and then she has practiced q great deal there and knows that she Is competent to Ill the position. She was in court one day and musing on how nice it would be to be a judge. She recalled that no woman in the United States was judge of any thing. That evening she looked up the law and found that her sex does not bar her from propate Juuse' Juuse oi the court of appeals or justice of the supreme court. Of th@e she prefers the probate judgeship, because she IS more familiar with the duties, and, again. it permits one to attend to pri- vate practice. She mentioned her de-
 sire to several friends, and they all in-
 dorsed her and have led her to believe that she can make successful can
 vass.
 We don't see any reason why she
 should not make a successful canvass
 It is certainly nice to be a judge. and Judge Daisy Dorothy Barber Woulo

SOME FiLIPINo FICTION.

The ordinary Filipinos are said to De great liars, and this being so 1t is con sistent that their leaders should be greater liars. What the leaders can do in the lying line is indicated by the fact that statements have been made by them to their followers that the peo- ple of this country are in the midst Of a saneuinary civil war, that battle has been fought at Chicago, in which sixteen hundred regular soldiers were killed, that an army of "anti-imperial- ists" is besieging Washington, that MT. Bryan is soon to assume the Presiden- cy. that Russia will declare war against us, that the Pope has commanded the President to send more chaplalns to the Philippines to minister to the spir- itual needs of the great numbers ot Americans who are being killed, and that the insurgents at some points are
 winning great victories.
 It seems hardly possible that the Filipinos can believe these yarns when they do not believe our solemn decla' ratlons that we are working to civilize and Christtanize them. But we sup pose it is quite as easy for liar tC
 believe another liar as it is for him tc believe one who speaks the truth.

4 WISE DEGfSTO N.

What Miss Alice Roosevelt thinks about having to stay away from the
 gay and gorgeous time which was to have been hers in London doth not ap
 near but there can be no doubt that the decision to keep her away is wise one
 trouble is that she couldn't have gone
 simply as an American girl represent
 ing nothing but herself and in a way the rest of the girls. No reason has tbeen publicly assigned for the change in the programme, but 1t is known that many of the Presidents closest friends and advisers have from the beginning felt that it would be unwise for the
 Presidents daughter to be in London during the coronation ceremonies, be- cause, although she would go as the
 personal guest of Special Ambassador and Mrs. Reid, her presence would be misunderstood and official significance | attached to it in spite of all assurances | to the contrary It is also understood | in Washington that one pafticuidl lVa | son why Miss Roosevelts proposed visit has been abandoned is that she receiV- ed an invitation from Emperor William to become his guest in Berlin, and as | this could not be done without giving official significance to her presence in both England and Germany it was de-
 cided to make other plans for her sum- | mer vacation.
 Miss Roosevelt will miss lot of fun, | and she will also escape a lot of tlattery
 that might not have done her much
 good Her distinguished father will also
 escape some criticism that would not
 have done him much good. She can | console herself some with the thought | that she is to be deprived of her expect
 ed good time for reasons of state"

A MINSTREL AND A BANK PREsI
DENT.

There was offered for probate yester- day the will of q man who died recently, who had been for some 30 years negro minstrel. He began his career as min strel in the very year that Frederick D. Tappen was elected president of the Gallatin national bank. In all that time Mr. Tapner has been associated with the great company of tinanciers of New York, and upon four or five occasions was the emergency genral who led the forces of the clearing house against the panic-stricken forces of the stock eX- change. and put panic and demorallza- ton to rout The minstrel, West, leaves an estae estimated at q little over S5o0, GOO, and another who was for many years his partner, still living, is, accord ing to common belief, the possessor or even greater wealth than that.
 MT. Tappens will has not been pro bated yet, but it is the impression Of those who knew something of his at- fairs that it will be found that he left a very modest estate. There will be great surprise if it is discovered that MT. Happen possessed as much as $2O0,-

900. He was accustomed to say that he was in great measure dependent upon his salary as bank president for his support.
 The explanation for this apparently strange inconsistency is discovered in the temperament and ambitions of the two men. The minstrel was a very prudent man, who had cultivated habits of saving, whose habits were good and who had ambition to make q consider able fortune. MT. Happen had no ann btion whatever to be rich man. He was able several times to save very rich men from distress and even bank ruptcy, and one of the most vivid of his recollections was the haggard daspon- dency with which man now of inter- national prominence in the group Of great railway organizers and containers came to him on the eve theo panic ot | '93, saying that he was ruined unless; the clearing house did something. The clearing house did do something the next day which saved not only this man, but a great many others.
 MT. Tappen's great ambition was the perfection of the New York clearing house association, and only few days 1 before his last sickness he said to the writer that he believed the clearing house system was perfect with single exception, that there was one weak spot | in it to which he had given great
 deal of thought. in the hope oi strengthening it. It was the weak spot
 that was disclosed at the time of the
 great emergency and embarrassment
 occasioned by the failure of the Seventh
 national bank. Mir. Happen hoped ir the course of this year to have devised
 smoe method which would make an ex-
 perience of that kind again impossible New York Letter to Philadelphia

Besides the cheating prices paid to army contractor for them, the Boer war has used up horses at an unexampted rate, more than half million havlng been shipped there, of which but fraction remain in service. Competent authorities declare that the cavalry re- cruits sent out were un!nstructed and did not know how to take care of the animals, and the food supply for the latter, as might be expected, has not always been regular or adequate. Be sides these conditions, and partly, no doubt, as consequence of them, horse epidemics of greater or less severity have prevailed almost since the break ing out of the war.

It is commonly believed, says the Rome correspondent of the London Post. that the Vatican has never touched any part of the money allotted it by the Italian government This be- lief is mistaken. Soon after the Italians entered Rome Cardinal Anton- elli informed the Italian financial dele gate that he had issued drafts for the paynent of the usual monthly outlay of the Holy See, about G1O,Ooo in all, and asked if the government intended to honor the drafts. The Italian reply was in the affirmative, and the sum was paid by the Italian treasury. When it became known abroad that the Vat1- can was in receipt of Italian money such an outcry was raised that the Vatican was forced to refuse further instalments.'
