capacity for Self Government.

San Francisco, April 4.-Gen. Fred
erick Funston was the guest of honor

in part: "After the first three or
four months of fighting the Filipi-

fighting and began q guerrilla war

tory. They killed directly or by tor
ture nearly 1000 of their own coun.
trymen during the years 1900 and
1901 because they would not con-
tribute money to support the insur'
gent cause. They committed incon-
ceivable atrocities on American sol

Only 100 Negroes In Lawton.

Lawton, Ok, April s.-The stories
of a race war here are absolutely
unfounded. There has been no trou-

It all started from notices being
posted following election warning ne

been no excitement among either
whites or blacks, as there are not

WORTH $500, 1000.

The President of certain big Oil Com
pany is said to be worth $500, 10000 A
tidy bit of money and no mistake. And
yet he isn't happy. In an address to Bible
class lie spoke of trials and troubles of the
rich and the loads they have to carry. A
young lady whispered to friend that he
might wear a Benson's Porous Plaster on his
back or, better still, divide the money among
the members of the class. L don't know
why her idea about the plaster makes me
want to laugh, but it does. All the same
1 have seen plenty of people laugh after
putting Benson's Plasters on their backs
or chests, or on any other spot where there
was weight, heaviness, weakness or pain.
1t may be the sharp stabs of neuralgia, the
aches and wrenches of rheumatism it may
be colds in muscles or bones it may be
those kidney or lumbago thrusts that make
you yell as at dog bite; or it may be q
strain or cramp, anything that wants quiet
ing and comforting. Don't bother with
salves, liniments, lotions, etc, or with any
Of the stupid and useless old style plasters.
Clap on Benson's. 1t relieves at once

It all over so as to recognize 1t and spell
it correctly when you see itagain, Is use
full in learning to spell, but it should not
be depended upon entirely. The criti.
cisms of the modern methods, however,
will probably go for naught and boards
of education and school superintendent
will continue officially to sanction an al
legged reform that is responsible for turn
lug out the poorest spoilers since the
English language was first taught In the
public schools.
And why? Because educators claim
to have discovered short cut to knowl-
edge in the substitution of signs for
laborious spelling LESSONS. 1t Is about
as logical as the attempt to make Latin
scholar out of boy with an interlinear
translation instead of a grammar and
dictionary. The results are the same in
either case. The pupil who works is the
one who achieves, and neither Latin
scholars nor English spoilers were made
proficient by any shortcut method that
promised to eliminate work.
One would think that practical results
of the shortcut method in learning to
spell would condemn 1t without further
argument. The head of the English de-
partment at prominent western univer-
sity saws that more than onehalf the
new students each year, mostly fresh
from high schools or preparatory acade-
mics, have no idea of spelling or pune
tuatlon. Failing to pass the commonest
tests, they are put back into preparatory
classes, where they must toll to remedy
their deficiencies before they can hope
for graduation in the regular college cur
ricua. This unlversity's experience is
merely type of prevailing conditions,
which Will continue to prevail until the
old fashioned spelling book is restored to
its rightful place as fundamental factor
in public school studies.-Rutland News.

Vermont Dairymen to Meet Next Week.
Secretary F. l.. Davis of North Pom
fret sends out the following letter: The
experience of the most progressive and
successful dairy states has absolutely de-
monstrated this fact: That in this day of
close competition and low prices, cream
erymen and dairymen, in order to be
successful, must practice scientific meth
DDS in handling their products. In my

standing and to keep with the procession
is to attend this meeting, where the best
up-to.date speakers have been engaged
to address us; the best butter and chez Sc
experts available have also been engaged.
An excellent banquet program, assisted

w. Grout and several other prominent
state men will give short after dinner
speeches. We respectfully invite every
creamery and private dairy to enter a
sample of butter. Send one dollar to the
secretary for membership. This entities
you to the annual report, with the prlvi-
lege of entering sample of butter or

miss the banquet. The good gained
from these meetings, both practically

hundred fold.

Rev. q. w. Philips Resigns.

A Rutland despatch of Dec. 30 has the
following concerning one of Vermont's
best known preachers: Rev. George w.
Philips, one of the leading Congregation
alist clergymen in New England, read his
resignation as pastor of the local Congre-
gational church at this mornings service
after l6 years of service. 1t came as a
surprise to the majority of the small con-
gregation present, although the church
officials have expected 1t for some little
time. Rumors and newspaper stories
have been current of the pastors beng
compelled to resign on account of his
connection with the pardoning of the
defaulting Cashier Mussey. These state
ments appear TO have been untrue, as Mr..
Philips said in resignation that he had
contemplated the present step for several
years, and had not taken it at the request
of the church officials. His principal
reasons for resigning are that since his
pastorate of 10 years here most of those
who extended the call to him have died,
conditions and religious standards have
changed, and he feels his resignation is
for the best good of the church. 1t will
acceptance designates. A special meet
ing will be called to act upon it. DR..
Philips said to. might he had moth
ing for his future work in mind and the
officials say they have no one in view
for his successor. DR.. Philips is about
&C years old. He was graduated from
Amherst college in 1861 and from
Amherst Theolog zeal seminary in 1864
He had pastorates at Haydenville, Mass,
and Columbus, o., and was installed
here June Il, 1886, coming from the Ply.
mouth church at Worcester, Mass,
where he had been for Is years. When
he took charge here the church numbered
Cpl members. It now numbers 10. He
has OBLIGATED at 525 funerals in the past
l6 years. The church is at present
practically free from debt.
