MEMORIAL FROM FILIPINOS.
Transmitted to Senate by Secretary
p of War-ln Support of Amer
lean Rule.

Washington, Feb. 13.-With the
exception of a sharp clash between
Mr.. Lodge and Mr.. Patterson over
the matter of admission of represent
atives of the press to the investiga-
ton which the Philippines committee
is conducting, the discussion Of the
Philippine tariff bill in the senate
yesterday was quiet. The Colorado
senator desired that all newspape:
men be admitted to the committee
hearings, declaring that as now con.
Quoted they were of a star chamber
character. He said his recollection
was that Mr.. Lodge had suggested
that the hearings be entirely secret.
This drew the fire of the Massach,l-
Eetts senator, who Indignantly denied
that he had suggested anything of
the kind. He insisted that the re-
ports made of the hearings by the
three press associations were ac-
curate and fair to both sides of the
controversy.
A communication from the secre-
tary of war transmitting a memorial
of the Federal party of the Philip
pine islands in support of American
rule in the islands called from Mr..
Patterson the statement that the
Federal party had obtained it's con.
troll in the Philippines by promising
to the Filipinos that they would be
admitted ultimately to statehood in
the United Staes.

PROF. PEARSON HAS RESIGNED
He Also Tried to Leave Methodist
ChMch-Finally Not Allowed
to Do So.

Chicago, Feb. 13.-Charles w.
Pearson, whose recent utterances
against the infallibility of certain por-
tons of the Bible occasioned CON-
ment in Methodist church circles, re-
signed as professor of English liz
erature at Northwestern university.
The resignation, it is said. was vol
untary.
Prof. Pearson also asked for let
ter of dismissal from the Methodist
Episcopal church. The letter was
given, but afterwards recalled, as its
possession by DR.. Pearson would in.
dictate that he was in good standing
in the church.
The professor is to continue in
charge of his classes until a success
sor is found, and his salary is to con-
tinue until Jan. 1, 1908. His letter
follows:
81 hereby tender my resignation IS
professor of English literature in
Northwestern university. With the
kindliest feeling toward you all, and
best wishes for the future welfare of
| the institution to which l have given
so many years of service, / am very
respectfully yours,
(SignedD &c. w. Pearson"
In a statement given out by Secre-
tary Crandon, the trustees point out
the excellence Of Prof. Pearson's ser
vices during the 80 years he has been
connected with the faculty. and aver
that they feel great regret at the
severance of relations.

A Poet and the King.

A poet whose lines never would scan
was summoned before the king and
commanded to show cause why he
should not be put to death.
"If your ear Is imperfect" said the
king, you could count your syllables
on your fingers, like an honest work
man"
May your majesty outlive your
prime minister by as many years as
remain to you" said the poet reverent-
ly. 81 do count my syIlables. But OBJ
serve, my left hand lacks finger-bit-
ten off by a critic"
Then" said the king, why don't
you count on the right hand"
Alas" was the reply Of the poet, as
he held up the mutilated left, that Is
mpossible-there Is nothing to count
with! 1t is the forefnger that is lack.
ing"
Unfortunate man" exclaimed the
sympathetic monarch. I'VE must make
your limitations and disabilities lmma

zines. "-San Francisco Examiner.

And do you know" began the young

"Oh. what a wretch 1 am" she
moaned. George suspects | think
more Of another man than do of him.
Heaven help me! How is this going
to end?"
Little Ida dreamed that before many
minutes she would know how it was
going to end AS she asked herself
that question voices came to her from
the balcony without.
lda's head was erect in an instant. A
lady and gentleman were speaking on
the balcony. Ida did not wish to sit
and listen to what was not intended
for her ears, but the mans voice held
her spellbound, and she leaned forward
to catch every word that fell from his
lips.
What absurd ideas, to be sure!" the
man was saying, in his lightest tones.
Absurd. How can you say soT'
said the lady's voice, hotly. Anybody
can see that you are trying to come
between George Atwood and his in
tended wife"
Trying to come between them!" and
Alfred May laughed derisively.
"Ah, you mean that you have already
accomplished it. Yes, everybody says
that you must have fascinated Miss
Challis-that she loves you is no long
er a secret"
She loves me. Then more fool she
for her pains, for, my dear, | have no
affection to waste on anybody but your
own sweet self"
Ida listened to no more. For days
she had been under a spell, but it was
shattered at last. She fell back in her
chair. buried her head in her hands
once more and groaned aloud.
At that moment the heavy curtains
parted and George Atwood stepped
into the recess.
Ida, what ails you?" and he rested
his hand lightly on her shoulder.
"Oh, don't touch NEEDN'T speak to
mew she cried, drawing away from
him with a shiver. George. I'm not
worthy kind word from your lips"
Heaven forbid, Ida. that word
should fall from my lips but in kind
ness to you. 1t is too late to censure." "
and the strong mans voice quivered-
lit is so hard to give you up. If AL
fred May was good man"
alfred May is a scoundrel! and |
hate him-I hate myself. Oh, George,
if you knew how wretched | am" and
Ida burst into tears.
Ida cried George. in joyful as
tonishment II thought you loved AL
fred May"
George. I've acted foolishly-rve
done wrong. but oh, I'm so sorry"
said Ida. between her sobs.

her in his strong arms. Let us for
