RARE DOG FROM CHINA.
DR.. Corbin Decker, U. s. ~, Owns Fine
spnnie Found in Picking Dur
ing Siege.

DIR. Corbin J. Decker, u. S. NJ. who
was surgeon in charge of the i~nterna-
tional hospital at Taku during the Chi
nese war, has at Vineland, N. j., an inn
perial Pekingese spaniel, taken from
the imperial palace of Picking after the
flight of the empress and emperor.
Little Tai Tai, meaning "Old Woman"
with two other puppies and their par
ents, were found by Lieut. Wise, of the
United States marine corps, in the de-
serted imperial quarters just after the
allies entered the inner city. The leu
tenant took them to his quarters, fed
them and at the first opportunity sem
them to the United States ship Monoca-
cy, which his father, Capt. Wise, COM
manded. Little Tai Tai was brought
TO the United States by DR.. Decker,
who was for a time surgeon on the
Monocacy.
These spaniels are believed by many
dog ~fanciers to be the progenitors Of
the famous King Charles spaniels of
England. They are bred exclusively by
the aristocracy. Up to the time of the
recent war they were rarely in the
possession Of a foreigner. OF the 9th
err two puppies found by Lieut.. Wise,
one was presented to Miss Conger, the
daughter of the United States minis
ter to China, and the other is the prop
erty of Capt. Winslow, of the United
States ship Solace, now at San Fran
cisco. The mother and father are still
in the possession of Capt. Wise in
China. The dogs are known as Sleeve
dogs in China.

"A temptation to which young WON.

just as clear a light as that which

a source in a too great degree of self

as related to self. and to think simply
OF work as duty. Work is duty, to be

FASHIONS IN CANDIES
Penny Novelties Supersede the

crease in the Business of
Supplying the Sweets.

Is the stick candy doomed? Is the
"Gooseberry BALI dead beyond hopes
of resuscitation? Has the day of the
"jawbreaker" passed beyond recall?
Hundreds upon thousands of good
Philadelphians whose youthful mem
cries are sweetened in the thought of
those indigestible pleasures will be
sorry to hear the yes" which must
answer each question. Thirty years,
IS, years, even, have wrought a revo-
luton in the CONNECTIONS of childhood.
Just as the old glass jar on the shelf
has been replaced by the plateglass
showcase, so have the candy marbles
and cocoanut cakes of f615 or 1880 been
supplanted by the penny novelties
of the present progressive day, says
the Philadelphia Press.
"Give the children the pennies and
We'll look after the pounds" is the re-
vised reading of the old proverb
which seems to have been written in
the hearts of the modern manufactur-
er. In the turning out of penny goods
alone his name has come to be legion
and his sales amount to millions of
dollars a year. Where the trade in this
country was once to be measured BY
from 10000 to 10000 pounds a month
it has now grown to such dimensions
that Philadelphia alone calls for more
than that amount. on an average day.
Where once there was no export trade
at ali there is now a steadily increas-
ing demand in scores of foreign mar
kets for the American made-penny
candy.
One Of the leading jobbers of Phila-
delphia, speaking of this great growth,
said: ITO an outsider such a demand
as this is surprising, but it is very easy
to prove its truth, My mailing lists
show that there are about 1,400 candy
stores in Philadelphia and the towns
within a radius of rs miles, which is
my territory. Approximately 1000 of
these handle penny goods. Say that
the average daily sales are three dol
lars, which can about Is pounds,
and there are your daily totals: Three
thousand dollars and $4,000 pounds, or
something like 100000 and 100000
pounds a year. l know it sounds in
credible, but my own books for 1900
show sales well over 1000, 900 pounds,
and I do about one-fourth of the bust

WOULD PURCHASE FRI4Rs' LANDS.
SECRETARY ROOT SAYS THEY ARE ONE OF
THE CHIEF CAUSES OF PHILIP
PINE TROUBLE.

Washington Jan 1S-Secretarv Root was
heard on the question of the friars' lands in the
Philippines by the House Committee Insuar
Affairs to-day. He said these land holdings
constituted of the chief causes of discomfort
among the people. They were the hotbeds II
insurreCtion, and had furnished 10 AgUtnaldo
his chief appeal to popular prejudice, The
Secretary said the religious orders fully rec
ognized the bad condition of affairs that they
disposed TO sell out, and he urged that the
government should take advantage of the oPpor-
tunity To remove the chief causes of disconrent
in the islands. He did not believe cOndemna-
ton proceedings would lie necessary, there
were indications that fair price could be
agreed on. \ rough estimate of the value Of the
land, he said, was from S3.o1oOOO to SI.5o0.00O.

Secretary Root explained the enormous power
which the religious orcers had lcns exercised in
the Philippines. They We're represented at
Madrid and the archbishop was quite power
full the Governor General Of the islands.
The orders had largely supplanted the native
priests As a result of the great politicdiepower
of the orders. the friars became the medium of
communication between the local parishes and
the central government. They he'd large tracts
of the best land, amounting to about fou- hun
dred thousand acres at the time OF American OC-
cUpation. The people rented the lands and
thus a landlord and tenant system now in
operation. This caused intense hatred and Mr.
Root said the feeling Of the tenant classes
not equalled in bitterness by anything il Ire
land. Aguinaldo had taken advantage Cf this
intense feeling of the tenants against the friar
landlords. and the movement had become Very
popular. About the most important thing to be
dCrc al this time was TO dispose of the friar
question, as IL was felt that when the Land pro-
pIietorship brought to end most of the
agitation would be disposed of. The friars had
been driven from the land in many cases, and If
they returned the people would kill them. APP
peas had been made to the War Department 10

without the of trooCs.
Mr. Root said that religious question. was
involved. II was simply n condition that en-
listed and was fully recognized The friars them
selves were fully alive to the conditions that
they would doubtless be ready to dispose II their
lands. At all events. Mr.. Root said. they were
a part of an organization, and he believed that
the disposition OF the lands would he determined
by higher Church authorities than the friars
themselves.
