Oh. there are all sorts of pleasant
thoughts to pick up along the way,
even though they be passing and
trivial. But among them are not the
thoughts which come unbidden to the

gagement on car dawdling along un-
der lack of power, especially when
two people, standing respectively ten
and twenty feet from station each

ger to use for cooling off purposes.

brisk looking man stood in the
front Vestibule smoking. He wanted
to know if anyone remembered the
story of the fellow who used to exer-
else his memory by recalling visions of
the old farm, the big feats he per-
formed as boy and forth. And
when he was tired He could easily re-
cali how a big boulder down in the
pasture looked and longed to lie down
in the shadow Of it and rest. And how
years after he went back home only
TO find that immense boulder of his
memory an ordinary big rock. All of
course admitted having heard about
that story, whereupon the brisk man
said he was Il native OF one of the
kennebcc cities, but hadn't until this
summer seen his native town since

DESIRE ANNEXATION.
Taft Presents Memorial of
 Philippine F'ederalists.
VAR IN BUT TWO PROVINCES.
No Reason Why Popular Civil Rule Should Not Be Established--The Two Peoples Should Nev-
 CT Be Disunited.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.--The me- morial of the Federal party of the Phil ippine Islands has been transmitted to the senate by the secretary of war, to- gether with a let E. of transmittal by Governor Taft, ill whose charge the document was given.
 The memorial was adopted at an ex- traordinary session of the Federal par ty held in Manila in November. 1t sets forth that the performance of that ob- ligation of the treaty of Paris which gave the United States congress a'l- thority to fix the status of the Philip pine Islands has been deferred to this time because of the attack by the Eil- ipinos upon the sovereignty of the United States, an act brought about, the memorial says, through a misun- derstanding and not through hatred of the American sovereignty. It further states that out of the sixty provinces and districts war exists in only two, Batangas and Samar. It also asserts that it is demonstrated fact that the pueblos or towns anxiously desire "a definite civil rule" and says those who are still in arms allege the lack of a civil regime agreed upon and promul- gated by the congress of the United States as weighty pretext for their belligerent attitude, which regime shall determine at once the political status and civil rights of the inhab- itants of the archipelago in accordance with the treaty of Paris"
 The memorial then makes a presen- ration 0f fIo 1o151ofi0O of fha Eso1 party that congress should proceed to carry into effect it's intention of defn- ing the future of the Philippines in their relations to the United States and asserts that there is no reason for not replacing the military regime .'by q civil rule of a popular character in con- for1nity with the decisive words of the never to be forgotten President McKin- ley"
 The memorial proper is divided into two parts. The first of these is a peti- ton for annexation and presentation of the form of government desired. In this subdivision the Federal party sets forth that it has made an exhaustive study of both the Filipinos and the Americans and concludes that from the mass of data collected 1t is .sthe inten- ton of the two peoples that they should never be disunited" The me- morial announces as principles for this union the formation of "a more perfect union, establishment of justice, the in- surance of domestic tranquility. pro- motion of the general welfare and the securing of the blessings of liberty" The second part of the memorial sets forth the aspirations of social and economical character, the principal of which the memorial represents to be the securing of a remedy of the ''an- cient evil known as the friar.'' Under this designation the memorial includes all the religious orders now existing in the islands

WRECK ON THE ERIE.

vestfbuIed Train DerafIed and
 Twenty Passengers Injured.
 CLEVELAND, O., Feb. 13.-Train No. 10 on the Erie road, leaving Cleve- land at l D. nj. for New York, was wrecked between Mahoning and PhaS lanx, O., about forty miles from this city, yesterday afternoon. The whole train left the track and ran for twenty car lengths, finally toppling over in a ditch Twenty-one persons are injured, but no fatalities occurred.
 The train consisted of a buffet car, two sleepers, chair car, coach, baggage and express. Physicians were called from Warren and Youngstown and left at once for Leavittsburg, where some of the injured had been taken. Some of the more seriously injured were talk en to Youngstown. The wrecked train is one of the finest on the Erie road and is vestibuled.
 The engineer of theo train was Mat thew Shay of Youngstown, and George Hopper of Cleveland was conductor. They were not hurt. George Thomas of Cleveland received what is feared tosbe fatal injuries, brain concussion.
 The cause of the wreck is now said to be spreading rails. Most of the in- jured were in the coach next to the last, that being the private CT of Jo- seph Ramsay, president of the Wabasi. railroad.
 Mir. Ramsay had an emergency case with him, and he did heroic work in assisting the injured. His car did not toppie over, but the car in front did.

0LEO BILL IS PASSED.
Measure Considerably Modified by the
 House

House.
 WASHINGTON reb. 13.-The house yesterday passed the oleomargarine bill There was no division on the final passage, the real test of strength hav- ing been made on a motion to recom- nit, which was defeated by a majori- ty of thirty-four. The provision to re- quire the inspection and branding of renovated butter, which was adopted in committee of the whole, was retain ed on yea and nay vote.
 AS finally passed the bill is some what modified from the form in which 1t was reported from the committee on agriculture. It makes oleomargarine or imitation butter or cheese transported into any state or territory for use, sale or consumption therein subject to the laws of such state or territory, not Withstanding that it may be introduced in original packages, and imposes tax of 10 cents per pound on oleomargarine made in imitation of butter of any shade of yellow" When not made in such imitation, the tax is reduced to one-foarth of 1 cent per pound.
 The second section is intended to pre- vent dealers, hotel proprietors, restau- rant and boarding house keepers from coloring the uncolored article by mak- ing any person who colors the product and then sells or furnishes it to others q manufacturer within the meaning of the act. Penalties for violation of the act are fine of not less than $50 nor more than $500 and imprisonment for not less than thirty days nor more than six months.
 With the exception of sharp clash between MT. Lodge and Mr. Patterson over the matter of admission of repre- sentatiyes of the press to the investi- gation which the Philippine committee is conducting the discussion of the Philippine tariff bill in the senate was quiet. The Colorado senator desired that all newspaper men be admitted tc the committee hearings, declaring that as now conducted they were of star chamber character. He said his recol- lection was that Mir. Lodge had sug- gested that the hearings be entirely se- cret This drew the fire of the Massa- chusetts senator, who indignantly de nied that he had suggested anything of the kind. He insisted that the reports made of the hearings by the three press associations were accurate and fair to both sides of the controversy.
 Mr. Teller occupied the attention of the senate during the greater part of the days session and did not conclude his speech.

YOUNG ROOSEVELT GAINS.
Continued Improvement Noted a

Continued Improvement Noted at
 GrotOn, but Danger Not Over.
 GROTON, Mass, Feb. 13.-If Theo- dore Roosevelt, Jr, continues for the next twelve hours in his present con- dition, his physicians have given the president and Mrs. Roosevelt to be- lieve that their sons vitality will be sufficient for him to meet and pass successfully the crisis in his disease, and it is thought that by tomorrow morning he will be practically out of danger.
 He is considered to be better, and the same can be said of his two school mates, Howard E. Potter of New York and William Gammell, IT,, of Provi- dence, R. I.
 So confident are the president and his wife that their son will pass through this crisis in good shape that the president is already making some slight preparations to leave for Wash ington.
 Mir. Cortelyou says of the boys con- dition in addition to what has already been stated that the left lung has cleared considerably and that the boys temperature, respiration and pulse have shown but little variation. The clearing up of the left lung is q favor able sign, in that it will enable the boy to meet the crisis in the right lung bet ter. What is known as resolution has set in in his left lung.
