MANS WORTH.
Dr. Merrill f.. Gates Talks to Large
Crowd at Peoples Mission.

Crowd at Peoples Mission
DR.. Merrill E. Gates, LII. D., upon the
subject. What Is Man WORTH" last night
addressed a large audience at the People S
Mission 80 Pennsylvania Avenue. The
Bijou Theatre had been originally selected
as the meeting place, a large congrega-
tion being expected. but on account of the
rain it was found that the mission would
accommodate the attendance.
Dr. Gates pointed out that mans worth
is counted by the valuation which he
places upon himself BY his text, he said
he did not mean that because q slave
sold in bondage brought a certain num-
ber of dollars his worth should be esti-
mated at that figure. \ mans worth. the
speaker claimed, was not to be counted
in dollars and cents.
The Christian orchestra furnished the
music. the singing being led by the Rev.
George W. Havell. Vocal solos were rem
dered by John W. McMichael and W. H.
Evans.

Although it is an open secret in Washington that Speaker Henderson and the republican bosses of the house are opposed to the omnibus bill pro viding for the admission to statehood of Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma, because of their belief that two out of the three would certainly send demo- cratic senators to Washington and the third would probably do the same, friends of the bill that they have promises of enough republican votes to put it through the house if they can get it voted upon. They have asked Speaker Henderson to allow the committee on rules to report q rule for the consideration of the bill and he has promised to let them know in q few days If he refuses, they will endeavor to get the bill up by direct vote of the house.

 Senator Deboe, of Kentucky, makes no bones of accusing Civil Service Commissioner Procter, who is from the same state and who enjoys chummy relations with MT Roosevelt, of being one of the liyeliest spoilsmen in Wash ington.

The most audacious open evasion of the civil service law that has occurred since the occupancy of the White house by professional reformer was pulled off this week by postmaster General Payne, the chief engineer of the Roosevelt machine writes Wash ington correspondent.

Mir Payne desired to make MT Rand chief clerk of the postoffice de- partment. but that position is covered by the civil service rules, and filled by holdover democrat from the Cleve- land administration. He first sought to have that office taken from under civil service rules, but there were req sons why that was not practicable. So an office was created without authority of law, civil service or any other kind, and Rand put into it, and it is under stood that he is to perform all the i'm portant duties of chief clerk of the de- partment.

FOUND THREE ENDS TO ROPE.

When Captain W W. Snow who re- gently retired from the Boston and Philadelphia line after a continuous service of 57 years, took command of his first vessel, an Irishman asked the captain if he could employ him.
 Well, said Capt Snow, at the same time handing the man a piece of rope. If you can find three ends to that rope you shall have york;
 The Irishman thought for a mo- ment and then took hold of one end of the rope.
 s'There's one end, your honor,' he said.
 Then he took hold of the other end and, showing it to the captain as be- fore, said
 And that's two ends, your honor.''
 Then taking hold of both ends of the rope he threw it overboaord. saying:
 And there's an end to the rope. your honor. and that's three ends"

Young MT Garfield of Ohio, who has been ''persuaded' to give up lucrative private business to accept the salary and perqs of civil service commis- sioner will doubtless do as well in that position as he is expected to do. A prominent republican who lives in the same congressional district was asked what the folks at home thought of the appointment. "Oh, they are glad he got it,' he replied. We've gotten a little tired of turning him down for elective offices and will be pleased to see him shelyed for awhile in Wasb- ington."'

Senator Hanna is in bad humor these days, says a Washington writer. He is inclined to resent the criticism of his efforts in behalf of Major Rathbone, who was convicted of participation in the Cuban postal stealing along with Neely and Reeves, and he is ''cussing'' mad oyer the attempt of some of the Ohio republicans to compel him to vote for the oleomargarine bill, which has just been passed by the senate. The latter was the result of the publication of story saying that Hanna was op- posed to the bill. When asked about it he said: T will not be bulldozed into voting for any measure. have not said how I would vote on the oleomar- garine bill, but if had been disposed to be friendly toward it, my inclination now would be to vote against it."

CATCHES SNAKES FOR A LIVING

Miss Grace Somers is q young lady of California who spends her days
 chasing the deceptive snake. Miss Somers has never forgiven that first snake of which history bears evidence for causing her grandmother of re- mote ages to be expelled from the Garden of Eden; but finding she can not undo the harm she has determined to get even. She starts out every morning to q range of mountains where snakes abound, and many and exciting are the adventures she can re- late. She is accompanied by q dog, Buster who shares with her the dan- gerous sport. Miss Somers cures and prepares the skins and sells them to be made up into belts and purses. It may be added that Miss Sonners was a typewriter girl, but disliked the drudgery of office work and abandoned it for the rattlesnake chase. April Woman's Home Companion.

The Democrat is in a position to- ed last week-Is Hartford going to have d labor man for it's next mayor? It surely is, for at the election yester- day l. A. Sullivan, a man well and favorably known in this city, over turned Harbison's republican majority of over 5000 of two years ago, and came i'll a winner with half thou sand votes to spare. It was 8 good days work for the democrats and la bor men of Hartford. Every minute from the time of Sullivan's nomination until the polls closed was marked with organized effort and activity. The campaign was short and spirited, and although the republican papers, the Post and Courant, tried to look cheer ful and say funny things about the candidacy of Mir Sullivan, back of it all could be observed look of worri- ment and uncertainty. The labor men of Hartford performed good days work, and the election of the candidate of the party only shows what thorough organization can do. Nfayor-elect Sullivan said to a report ser last evening: T fully appreciate what the people of Hartford have done for me- and will do my duty to the best of my ability. This is but the beginning of the end. when the workingmen will always have their representative in power.

Terms Of Indianapolis Agreement
 Rejected by Miners.
 DUBOIS, Pa, April S.-The district officers of the United Mine Workers and delegates from the mines of the Rochester and Pittsburg Coal and Iron company have rejected the Indianapc- lis agreement reached last Friday by their national executive board and Gen. eral Manager Robinson of the Roches- ter and Pittsburg company.
 The conferences between the district officers, the delegates and Mir. Robinson took place at Punxsutawney, the first session being held in the morning, when Mir. Robinson submitted the h. 1ianapolis agreement, as follows:
 Work to be resumed on the same basis of price for mining and day labor and conditions as existed at the begin ming of the last scale year, except that at Eleanora the miners shall push cars one way in all rooms that are now or may hereafter be equipped with iron rails, otherwise present conditions of mule haulage to continue, and at the Florence mines cars to be handled, after both mule and electric, by push ing one way except in such places now working and equipped for electric haul age. The present conditions of pushing cars will continue until such rooms are exhausted or worked out, after which the cars during the present scale year will be hauled one way and pushed one way, as customary after regular mule haulage.'
 This the miners refuse to accept, and another conference was held during the afternoon. MT. Robinson stated he had no further offer to make. The miners refused absolutely to accept this agree ment and insisted upon nothing less than the Altoona scale, which is in ef- feet that mules must be placed in all mines where possible to haul cars. The conference therefore adjourned, and the strike goes on, with no immediate prospect of settlement The district officers say that General Manager Rob- inson must come to them the next time for a settlement. Depression has every where i'll the region taken the place of the good cheer that was manifested on the announcement from Indianapolis Saturday morning of a settlement.

ORDERS TO WALLER
General Smith Denies Alleged
 Harsh Instructions.
LIEUTENANT STREBLER IS PRAISED.
Capture of Lutban Tn samar One of the Most Important Yet Made In the Philippines = The
 Cholera Epidemic.

MANILA, April S.-General Jacob H. Smith, commanding the American , forces in the island of Samar, was the only witness yesterday at the trial by court martial of Major Waller of the marine corps.
 General Smith denied that he ever gave Major Waller power of life and death exceeding general order No. 100. He said he received the first news of the killings at Basey, where Major Waller and lieutenant Day of the ma rine corps are charged with having killed three natives, from General Chaffee. General Smith explained that his order to Major Waller about not be- ing burdened with prisoners meant to disarm and release those prisoners who were not charged with series offenses. He said he had not understood the meaning of Major Walters telegram about ..expending eleven prisoners
 The official report of Lieutenant Strebler of the Philippine scouts on the capture of the insurgent general Lux ban has been published and is indorsed by General Smith. The latter consid- CTS the report to be concise and graph ic. It is impossible for any one not ac- quainted with the island of Samar, says General Smith, to realize the diffi- culties and hardships of the expedition. Streblers command is entitled to the highest praise for one of the most inn portant captures ever made in the Philippines.
 General Smith strongly recommends that Strebler be given commission as first lieutenant in the regulars and that Sergeant Lora be made a second lieu tenant of the native scouts. These rec concentrations have been indorsed by General Wade and approved by Gen. eral Chaffee. General Chaffee thinks, however, that congressional action may be required in order to obtain the de- sired commission for Second Lieuten- ant Strebler. He has already given Sergeant Lora q commission as second lieutenant.
 Generals Chaffee and Sanger left here yesterday on board the United States gunboat Princeton on a tour of inspection to the Zamboanga district of the island of Mindanao and the island of Samar. They will probably be ab- sent until after April Is, upon which date Gueyerra, Lulxban's successor in Samar, will surrender
 A total of 175 cases and 13T deaths from cholera has been reported up to noon yesterday.
 The natives are making great efforts to break the quarantine established here, and in so doing one native has been killed @s

 \ BOSTON, April S.--Sixto Lopez, who for some months lived in this city and claimed to represent Aguinaldo, has returned here from the far east and in an interview said that he was prepared to return to the Philippines and secure 6nal peace, provided the United States gives some intimation to the Filipinos not necessarilys~ef tbeir immediate but of their ultimate status. Regarding the order preventing his return to the Phil tppines, Senor Lopez said that the American authorities did not object to the oath of allegiance. He refused, however, to take it, because he did not believe that any one had right to in- Ierfere with his liberty of conscience.
