AT LEAvENWoRTH HALL.
Poultney Bigelow Spoke Before Wa
 terbury Women's Club.

 terbury Women's Club.
 Poultney Bigelow lectured at Lea venworth hall last night on Colonial Government Problems and Imperial ism," under the auspices of the Wa terbury Women's club.
 While the speaker disclaimed any in- tention of talking politics, still he threw out a few hints which would lead one to believe that he is not sure that the Boers should have their own. In speaking of Dom Paul, he referred to him as 'sapostolic cowboy" and noble savage" He thought the South African war would not be over until the last Boer was subdued. He referred to the coming visit Of Prince Henry to this country, but made no comment upon it except to remark that it showed the nations of Europe in general and Germany in particular are beginning to realize the important position occupied by the United States. He talked at some length upon the im- portance of appointing the best man available to represent the nation in all positions of trust, and considered the system of selecting representatives in this country very faulty. He remind i ed his hearers that the management Of the mills about town appoint only the most competent men to look out l for their interests, while almost any hanger on at Washington is good enough for colonial governments. The same thing, he said, was true in the army. The West Point graduate re- ceived no consideration in the Spanish American war. Men of incompetence, who never saw an hours fighting, got all the glory. He knocked the bottom out of the contention of some Water bury people; that is, that the service l of good public officials can be had gratis. On this question the speaker said: "Another cause of failure on the part of the American people to receive satisfactory results from many of it's officials Is in not paying the proper price for suitable men. Any person who Is willing and competent to as sume tue duties of an important for eign post should have $5O,OOo a year and the best place we could build him.
 l He said that many of our consuls and officials at foreign ports led scan dalous lives.
 Speaking on the Philippine question, he said in part: Conditions in the l Philippines after tlle victory of Ma. I nila bay were worse than at Tampa. | Admiral Dewey had no one to help him. The first ray of hope that we have had on the Philippine problem was the appointment of Judge Taft as governor of the islands. General Merritt was brave soldier, but his policy in the Philippines was failure He had correct, bull-headed routine way, and it failed to win the Filipinos I The best brains are none too good for Oriental work. The Fflipinos are, like the Japanese, shrewd, crafty peo- pie, and it requires tact to manage them. We are not unequal to the task but it needs the application of business methods"

General Bell Says Their Influence is
 Invaluable In the Philippines.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-One Amer ican woman can contribute more to the reformation of the Filipinos than any company of American men, soldier or civilian. according to a personal letter received by Major General Fl. c. Cor bin, adjutant general of the army, from Brigadier General J. F. Bell, command ing the department of northern Luzon
 General Bell says that he is strong believer in permitting the wives Of American officers on duty in the Phil ippines to join their husbands, declar ing that the women exert a most potent influence in our political purposes with regard to the islands. General Bell says that in his old volunteer regiment, the Thirty-sixth infantry, there were twelve young women, wives of officers. He encouraged them to go with thelr husbands to the towns the latter were commanding, and the people soon be- came so devoted to them that when the time came to depart for the United States the natives, irrespective of age pr sex. wept like children.
 General Bell says that the American women exert their influence through the Filipino women, the latter having more influence on public opinion than the men of the islands.

Mr.. Bacon. They marched in body
to the school now being taught by
Miss Osgood their former teacher and
elected Earl Barnes, as their spokes-

former actions, while she was in
charge of the school.
The scholars under Mr.. Bacon have
been shown the condition of affairs
which prevailed in the school. as the
public viewed them, and they to some
extent are conscience stricken and are
now building for new standard for
that school.
Two of the boys of that grade came
to The Sentinel office and requested
that what they had done as part re-
paration for their acts be given pub
licity in this paper and it hastens to
do all it can to set this school. which

SHROUD OF MYSTERY.

Denver. Nov. 12-The body of Miss
Theresa Orth was buried at Calvory
cemetery this afternoon. The funeral
services were conducted from the
home of her parents, 425 Santa Fe
avenue. The death of Miss Orth,
who is very beautiful is attended by
circumstances very unsual and sus-
picious. Late Sunday afternoon the
girl informed her parents that n
friend was leaving Denver and that
she would spend the night with this
friend and return home next morning
in time for breakfast. The parents
readily consented to the plan, little
suspecting that they would not see
her alive again. The young woman
went directly to the office of Dr. F.
Simon of 1909 Seventeenth street, and
later that night went to Mercy sani-
tarium located at 1919 Milwaukee
street, where an operation was per-
formed about O'Clock Monday morn
ing, from the effects of which she
never rallied.
When the mother of the girl was
seen this morning she said:
''When Theresa left home on Sun
day night we had no idea that she
was i'll. The doctor told us after her
death that she died of peritonitis, and
that appendicitis was a contributary
cause
An autopsy was performed by Coro'
prised of the death. DR.. Simon in
sists that the death was perfectly
natural one. The case will be brought
to the attention of the police and an
investigation made.
