DELIGHTED WITH OUR STORY.

New Orleans, La was SO well
pleased after reading your issue of the
18th with your article on the life history
of Prof Booker T. Washington, of
Tuskegee Institute, that wired you for
one hundred copies. Our schools and
universities are just about having their
commencement exercises, and thought
it would be a good idea for each young
man to have copy of this issue as they
go forth into the battle of life. l think
Professor Washington's life will be a
BEAUTIFUL story for them, as no man of
our race is doing more for the welfare
and rpbuilding of his people. His life's
good work should be read in our
schools, as none is more worthy of EN-
ulation. | have just received the sad
news of the death of my old friend and
eomrade. Capt. Thas, S, Kelly. Hoping

in removing it from the bathing beach to
the morgue.
Persons who saw the boy go overheard
are satisfied that he did so with suicidal
intent. His strange conduct along the
river front prior to the time that he ended
was probably affected. A number of per-
sons. including several boys who were fish

preached the river front walking in the

ANOTHER PHILIPPINE BILL.
Differs From Measure Framed by
Senate Committee

The Philippine civil government bill, as
framed by the republican members of the
House insular committee, was presented to
the full committee, at meeting today. The
bill differs in many respects from the bill
just completed by the Senate Philippine
committee, chiefly in the following points:
A complete plan Of civil government,
with legislative assembly, including a
lower house, elected by the people is pro-
vided by the House bill, to go into effect
when permanent peace is certified by the
governor to the President to have been
established and after the completion Of a
census. The house measure also adopts
the coinage plan recommended by the
Philippine commission, and by Mr.. Co
nant, who Investigated the subject for the
War Department, making the gold dollar
the unit of value.
In addition the bill provides elaborate
mining, timber and franchise sections. and
also sets forth declaration of rights as a
basis of citizenship.
The committee meets again tomorrow, and
Chairman Cooper expects to hold continu-
Gus sessions, as to report the bill by the
ond of this week
