THE ENTIRE POLICY OPPOSED.
Democrats Have No Sympathy With
Colonial Movement.

Washington. Jan. Ex-senator Car
mack to-day submitted a minority re-
on the Philippine tariff bill. 1t states
that opposition to the measure is not
based on any mere question of revenue
or any theory concerning forms and
principles of taxation, but because it
violates constitutional rights and
uanscends the limits of constitutional
power. The objection of the minority
Is against the whole policy of colonial
empire, also to the control by this gov
eminent of vassal provinces, to the
spirit of military aggression, and of
war for the sake of spoils. The report
says that the bill reported by the ma
1Orlty of the committee is a character
lstlc manifestation of such a policy and
spirit.

we're young and apparently happy.

wound in the back of her head.
"Oh. my husband has shot himself"

husband shot her and then thinking
that she was dead, turned the weapon
upon himself.
Mrs. zeigler was removed to the

CAN PRESIDENT ACCEPT GIFT.
Germany Interested in This Ques-
tion--Conscryative Newspapers of
Germany Regard Prince Henry's
visit CoIdIy.


Berlin, Ian. 27.-It appears uncer-
tain whether President Roosevelt will
accept present from Emperor Will
liam, owing to the traditional belief
that the Presidents of the United
States ought not to accept present
from abroad.
If President Roosevelt accept this
present. the character of which is as
yet secret, it will probably be de-
posted in the Smithsonian Institution
or accepted pending congressional APP
prevail. 1t is understood here that in
quiries are being made in Washing
ton concerning the inclnations of
President Roosevelt.
The conservative journals here have
been singularly silent over the visit
of Prince Henry, whom the old aris-
tocracy looks upon coldly. Those
newspapers fear in some vague way
that a warm friendship between the
United States and Germany will rem
der more difficult the passage of the
German tariff bill.

SHE LIKED THE WARES.
The Notifying Mistake of "A FASH
ionable Lady Who Imagined She
Needed New Suit.

An amusing story, the truth of
which is vouched for, comes from
one of the ultra fashionable winter
resorts. AS proof of the elaborate
toilets required by each fair visitor,
it has its value, says the Kansas City
Times.
The season was at its height, and
Mrs. X, who had soiourned in that
especial hotel many weeks, had near
ly exhausted her supply of hats and
bonnets; she had worn each one at
least twice! In vain she had searched
through the displays of the most
fashionable milliner-that august
person who every year takes posses
sion of the most conspicuous rooms
in the hotel and throws open her
doors to the public. None of these
CONNECTIONS pleased our heroine, and
in despair she turned toward her
own corridor
AS she passed to her suite a half
open door arrested her attention.
Joyfully she paused on the threshold.
All, here was what she desired
Wraps, cloaks, bonnets and hats
galore met her eyes, and such ravish-
ing effects, such adorable dreams!
Evidently another milliner had that
very hour arrived and was just in the
act of unpacking her wares.
This is good fortune" declared
Mrs. X under her breath. She was
the first on the scene; she could
make her selections before the treas
ures were exhibited to the vulgar
gaze of the public.
Quickly she crossed to the dressing
table and impulsively tried the effect
of various creations as she rested
them on her fair tresses. Thus occu-
pied, the sounds of moving trunks,
of rustling papers in the adjoining
room did not disturb her; she needed
them not.
They are perfect. will take this,
and this, and this, and this" she
murmured. Then, as a trim maid
flung the curtain aside from the fur
Their end of the room and came for
ward, she called to her: ''Will you
tell your mistress l would like to
see her? l am charmed with her
wares. l will take these four hats
at once. Has she any"
What further demands would have
been made history does not relate.
Before Mrs. x stood Mrs. T., a
noted beauty, her rival in society,
the latest patron of the hotel, and
the possessor of the so-called
''wares!" Following her maid, she
had entered from an adjoining room.
The would-be purchaser swayed
slightly, gasped; the words were
frozen on her lips, and the curtain

Now tell me what right the pres

that he has inherited his reciprocity

may be true, for the late president
believed in reciprocity as national
and international policy. But that
reciprocity was with the strong and
well-formed nations of the world
particularly with the states and gov

Good Work of Coffee Vans.

The Church Temperance society of
New York during the past year has
served nearly 100000 hot ten-cent
meals from the lunch wagons. Seven
teen free ice-water fountains were
maintained with the profits. The peri
patetic coffee vans sent out by this So
ciety are no less successful, from
both the financial and the humane
point of view. Hostesses order van
to furnish hot coffee to coachmen
waiting outside their doors. Vans are
sent to all fires where the firemen are
long on duty; and in bitter weather
they furnish warmth and refreshment
to motor men at different parts of
their route. The idea that the tempta-
tions of the saloon can best be met by
better food, harmless drinks and
bright club rooms is fortunately gain,
ing ground.-Youth's Companion.

lations of the constitution; and
sooner or later it must be stopped.
Cleveland and Mckinley were insist
ent in imposing their wills upon the
congress.
cleveland was determined that the
Mills free trade bill should be passed,
and he notified every member of the
house of representatives, on his po-
litical side, that he would be expected
to vote for that bill. William H.
Sowden, of Allentown, Pa, stated
that he would not vote for that bill.
President Cleveland took up his pen
and vetoed bill for a public build
ing at Allentown, Pa, the home town
of the congressman who dared to
vote according to his conscientious
convictions. After vetoing that bill,
Cleveland sent word to the other
members of the house who had pend
ing legislation of interest to them
selves, saying: There will be an
Allentown for every Sowden.' That
meant that he would use his power
to humiliate any representative of
the people who dared to vote con-
trary to the will of the man in the
white house.
