General Smith

AS against the vulgar abuse which
has been heaped upon Brigadier-Gen-
eral Jacob II. Smith. u. S. A., retired,

here in the United States, it as graft

terested foreigner, Captain Henry Har-
ford for twenty years an officer of the
British army, and at present British
Consul at Manila. Captain Hartford,
who is now in the United States en-
route to England, declares that the
Filipinos are incapable of self-gOvern-
ment. and describes them as treach-
erous and. with the exception of q
small minority, ignorant and but little
removed from savagery. A temporiz'
ing policy In Samar, he holds, would
have been a dreadful mistake. Con-
tinuing, the captain says; Il am not

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
Plea tor Co.educatIon

To the Editor OF the Evening Journal.
Sir: In former articles the relation
of the general Government to Della
ware College was discussed, and GER
tain reasons for the removal of the
college to Wilmington were given. I
now propose to discuss the relation Of
Delaware College to the women Of
Delaware. Two or three years be-
fore his death. Mr.. Gladstone predict
ed that the education question would
be the next great issue in English poll
tics. and his prediction seems about to
be verified. The greatest issue in Della
ware Is education in general, and the
education of women, especially OF
women teachers in particular
When we reflect that the State OF
Delaware provides free college educa-
ton for its sons. white and black, and
for its daughters If they happen to be
black: but that it denies the privilege
OF college education to its white
daughters. we must recognize the situa-
tion to be astonishing, outrageous, in
human. Far be il from me to be-
grudge any privilege Of self-develop-
ment and culture that the State has Of
fered TO the colored women, but why
such privileges should be granted tC
the colored women and denied to the
white women is TO me an unfathomot
mystery. While an experience o.
twenty-five years in colleges and uni
versities. both here and in Europe. ha.
made me a firm believer in co-educa
ltiOn my most serious contention is no
for co-education. but for the privileg
OF college education for the women o

Another Plea for fok Hunters

To the Editor Of the Evening Journal.
Sir: Having been much interested in
your efforts to secure the pardon OF
the unfortunate Milford Neck fox
hunters, / am impelled, after having
an interview with them in Dover Jail
on Tuesday last, to write you these
few lines in connection with that cir
cumstance.
This was the first time that the
writer had had an opportunity of COM
municating with them since their in.
generation. Big-hearted Jake Wilson
greeted him with the old familiar
smile, and John Bennett, always sedate
and dignified, held his hand with a
lingering grasp. Truly pathetic was the
case of the Mills brothers, who, with
their silver-haired mother and devoted
sister, were occupied in close conversa-
tion in a corner of the room.
With his hospitality, which they had
formerly displayed toward visitors in
their Milford Neck homes; with their
manly forms somewhat attenuated by
confinement. and with faces bearing
evidences Of mental suffering, it was a
scene to move a stranger-how much
more. then. one who had known them
and had been friendly with them for
yearsl
Truly these men have been suffi-
GENTLY punished for an indiscreet act,
committed in a moment of passion
and "the quality ofmercy which is not
strained. but droppeth as the gentle
rain from heaven" should be meted
out to them.
Trusting that you will not relax your
efforts in their behalf. and that the
Board of Pardons may speedily con-
slider their case favorably and permit
them to return to their sorrowing
families, and neglected farms, I am
Yours very truly,
William G. Hardesty.

NEWSPAPER OPINION
The Cholera Situation

From the Baltimore News.
The cholera situation is not improv-
ing. However, there seems not the
slightest reason to fear that The dread
disease will gain even temporary
foothold in the United States, for it is
|emphatically a disease engeIdered in
and made epidemic by filth, oyeicrowd-
ing, and lack OF sanitary measures, con-
Iditions from which we are most thank
fully free in American cities
Dispatches from Manila last week
indicated that the disease was decreas-
ing there. but news this week is not so
Encouraging, as there were sixty-one
new cases reported in the capital Of
the Philippines. The United States
army has suffered comparatively little
from the epidemic, owing probably to
the watchfulness OF its officers and
medical men. A recent statement, how
ever. shows that among the Filipinos
cholera's ravages are truly appalling,
death list of more than $4,000 having
been reached mp to a week ago. Twen-
ty years ago there were 10000 deaths
in the islands. and comparisons of the
two epidemics are being mace.

JAPANESE JOTTlNGS.

Chrysanthemums served as a salad
are favorite article of diet among
the japanese.
At a japanese banquet it is con-
sidered a compliment to exchange cups
with a friend.
japanese cooks are the most cruel in
the world. They cut every atom OF
flesh off living. fish piecemeal with
out first causing death.
The lower class of the Japanese en-
ploy hardly any other material than
paper for their clothing. Where wages
are exceedingly low, cloth is an inn
possible extravaganza.
Every hotel in Japan has a fan, spe-
cial to itself, containing a view of the
hotel and a blessing from the writ
ings of Confucius. One of these is al
ways given to theJdeparting guest.
Many japanese women are under
going the slightsurgical operation nee
essary to straighten the slant of the
eyelid, which distinguishes them so
unmistakablyffrom Caucasian women.
The Japanese eat more fish than any
other people in the'world. With them
meat eating is a foreign innovation,
confined to the rich, or, rather, to those
rich people who prefer it to the ma
tional diet

Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan" "
The world-renowned Professor IIar-
mack. of Berlin University. says:
Women are perfectly justified in striv-
ing for education which leads to in

Thousands of PagOda Bells Ring at
the Setting OF the SUN.
Mandalay has its own sky, soft and
gray and incurving like q tent, with
white cloud lines that seem meant for
scrolls if one could read. 1t is the
Very Sacred City, the city of contem-
plation, the city of all the monks. A
thousand pagoda bells give tongue to
the wind there when the sun goes
down; a crumbling thousand more give
up to time the testimony Of outvorn
things.
1t lies in a curved arm of blue hills,
and something broods over it with So
licitude. This you suspect from the air
Of the place and the way the shrill
talk Of the parrots and the complaint
of the goats and the laughter Of the
people come to you wherever you are
sitting. Afterward you go out, as
did that morning with the commission
er, and see under the very zenith, where
the low gray sky is caught. up, the
square of the dark red crenellated
walls of the old royal city, three miles
each way, and outside the walls the
parallel clear moat thinking back at
the sky, and then you are sure that
over and above the government of In
dia some spirit is in possession here.
some spirit that bends in affection over
finished and forgotten things.
Seven rooted kiosks stand at inter
walls over the gates in the wall-they
are called pyathat, but they strike the
eye like peaceful conclusions-and low
white stone bridges raised in the mid
die span the moat The buttresses OF
the gates are painted deep gray and
white, and the bank that slants steeply
from the wall to the water has here
and there a low, twisted, spreading
tree on 1t, purely for decoration. You
may stop at a corner and look two
ways along the rejecting water, with
bridge after bridge receding across,
and pyathat after pyathat diminishing
above, and each red and gray and
white vista so picked out and finished
under the quiet light slipping adorably
into the near blue of the hills.

The Same Old Game
1m the Plttsburg TImes.

From, the Pittsburg Times.
From Florida comes a story Of the
arrest Of a professor" who claimed to
be able to find buried treasure for a
certain sum given by those who wished
to locate the gold. The allegation is
that the professor" was in the habit
of taking the money and not sending
tho expert hunters. Buried treasure
seems to have a fascination fer great
majority of mankind. There is a
glamour about il that is always ex-
ercised by wealth which does not have
to be laboriously acquired. Statements
about sums in foreign countries await
ing heirs to claim them always bring
a horde OF folk without gumption,
ready to pay a small fee for the cheap
excitement of thinking for a time that
they may perhaps be the lucky indi-
viduals. The man who can prey on his
neighbors by getting their cupidity
aroused is sure of a big income until
the law steps in and stops him, as it
may, sooner or later.
