the scenes Of the wreck as follows::
'aThe first unfortunate we found was
Peter A. Murphy, and he has got more
real courage and nerve than any man

were broken, he seemed to be hurt In

dozen cuts. He was pinioned hang

His mangled legs were held in a wedge

the first man that saw, and he was
the last sufferer removed from the
wreck. But in all that time he never
made a whimper and was calm and
considerate Of others from first to last.

soon as we found that we couldn't get
him out for some time we fastened

Educated With the Boys and Go Int
Business For Themselves.
In Holland the mass of every
class Cd to public schools and all
mix together. Education begins at
six years Of age il the public
schools, and at twelve girl is ex-
amined and passes on for a five
years course in the higher burgher
schools, of which Holland possesses
seyenty-two. The coeducation Of
the sexes is an admitted principle.
In the primary schools boys and
girls are brought UP together, they
learn side by side and are on fanlil-
lar terms from early child hood with
out the smallest i'll resulting. "A
great point is made Of languages,
and no Dutch girl of the upper or
middle classes is considered edu-
Gated who cannot speak English,
French and German more or less
fuently.
Probably owing to the system Of
education in force the women folk
are inclined to grow up somewhat
independent. We are told that the
prejudice against women working
for a livelihood has almost disap-
peared, and even rich women some
times choose a profession. They
include doctors, dentists, many of
them first rate, photographers and
gardeners. About 1000 girls hold
posts as assistant chemists, some
5000 are nurses, trained in the
White Cross homes and on a par

FOSTER OPPOSES
5Ex-sEcRETARY OF STATE CRIT.
IclsEs BILL FOR EXCLUSION
OF CHINESE.
is Al VIOLATION OF TREATY

Appears Before the Senate COMMITTEES
on Immigration and Discusses the
Subject at length Believes Any
Measure Passed Extending the Pc
rIod Of the Existing Law Beyond
1904 Would Be Illegal and vaIueless.
Washington, jan a. Secretary
of State John w. Foster appeared be-
fore the senate committee on immigra-
ton and spoke in opposition to the
Chinese exclusion bills which have
been introduced in congress. His re-
marks were directed more particularly
to. the Mitchell or Pacific coast bill,
which he said was a plain violation of
our treaty with China Mr.. Foster
said that our government had four
times asked China to modify existing
treaties in the interest of American
citizens and that in every instance
China had acceded to our request. He
then submitted for the consideration
Of the committee three propositions.
The first was that any law passed
by the present congress which contin-
ues the exclusion of Chinese laborers
beyond 1904 would be not only without
international authority, but would be
in violation of treaty stipulations. He
said that during the negotiations re-
sulting in the treaty of 1894 the United
States sought to have the exclusion of
Chinese laborers extended to 20 years
and that the Chinese government re-
fused to make it for more than 10
years. He also insisted that when
the treaty of 1894 came to an end the
Burlinghame treaty of 1868 would be
revived and come into force, which
treaty stipulated for the free and unre-
stricted immigration Of Chinese of all
classes into the United States. The.
treaty, he said, had only been suspend
ed as to immigration, not abrogated.
His second proposition was that the
exclusion laws should not be made ap-
Dlicab1e to all our insular possessions
and said the Hawaiian possessions pre-
sented the exact state of affairs which
were contemplated by the American
negotiators of the exclusion treaty
when they gave the assurance that to
such condition of affairs the exclu-
sion laws would not apply when the
interests of the islands asked for Chi
nese immigration and when it would
not in any way affect white labor.
Mr.. Fosters third proposition was
that the existing exclusion laws and
those proposed are in clear disregard
of treaty stipulations. He cited the
provision of the treaty of 1894 which
guaranteed to all to all Chinese in the
United States the most favored nation
treatment and the provisions Of trea-
ties with other nations guaranteeing
to them the same treatment as to the
protection of their own persons and
property as that enjoyed by native cit
liens. ~. II = r RI T. i. oss-sa3

When SILK Was Costly.

When silk was first worn in Eng
land, two mantles on the shoulders

gan in England in 1904 and was
brought to perfection by the Hugue-
not refugees in 1858. Even at that
time, however, silk was very costly,
pair of stockings costing in our
money a little over 800, a cloak a
little less than $1,000. ~,..4. s.
Among the 1862 dresses left by
Elizabeth at her death only twelve
were of silk, and Leicester, more
than his knighthood, prided himself
on pair Of silk breeches which he
had imported from Italy at an ex-

FOR THE CURE or WARTS.
Some on the Curious Remedies That
Are Used In ireland.

IL ~ = y Il
Warts are not a serious malady,
so one can afford to stand by and
see the vulgar treatment thereof. In
Wexford, lying, as it does, well with
in the civilized pale, they are cured
by pointing knot of straw at each
disfgured digit, saying prayer and
eventually burying the straw in its
native manure heap. AS it rots, 50
disappear the warts. If this fails,
white snail is. rubbed over the
hands and then stuck on q thorn.
Both snail and wart are believed to
Wither together.
A simple cure is to come across
water accidentally in hollow stone
and to wash the afflicted hands
therein. The virtue of accident is
so great that it prevents any fur

GOVERNOR TAFT's VIEWS.
Free Trade With the Philippines the
Best Plan.

San Francisco, Jan. 24.-Referring
to the Philippines tariff in speech be-
fore the Union League club prior to
his departure for the East Governor
w. H. Taft is reported to have said:
81 know from reading your papers
and talking with some of your mer-
chants that you are anxious to have
free trade between the Philippines and
America. In many respects that would
be an admirable arrangement, if it
we're possible to run the government
of the Philippines without indirect tax
alton involved in levying customs du-
ties. 1t would crafty the commission
very much if congress would take off
altogether the tariff imposed by the
Dingley bill. All we desire is to have
money enough to run a good govern
ment. My view is that as soon as
trade is established and avenues
opened a small tariff will form very
slight obstacle TO the course of bust
ness between the Philippines and Cal
ifornia." ae III,

NEW YORK, December ga cable
to the World from Bethlehem says:
Crowds streamed into Bethlehem yes
terday from Jerusalem and all neigh
boring towns. Many Travelled from Eu-
rope, some even from America, to join
the imposing ceremonies on sanctified
ground. European costumes mingled
with bright Oriental dresses made the
scene varied and vivid with color, while
in the throng were seen many fair
faced Bethlehem women, all gladly
bent on the same sacred mission.
Bethlehem, "the house of bread" the
wonderfully fertile home of Ruth, the
MOabitess, the city Of David, the place
where st. Jerome translated the Bible
for the Latin world, was given over to
joyous cOmmemoratiOn of its uniquely
sacred memory. Throughout the morn
ing crowds hocked to the magnificent
Church of the Nativity, inclOsing the
cave believed by scholars to be the
actual birthplace of Christ. II was brill
liantly lit and the faithful paused In
prayerful contemplation.
At 2 o'clock a multitude of people
crowded the great square fronting the
Church Of the Nativity covering the
housetops on every side. The process
sion then appeared, the patriarch es-
corted by Turkish soldiers, preceded
by Kawasses, or the official guard of
the patriarch, advancing toward the
church. The scene at the church was
grandly impressive. Services of great
pomp continued throughout the day
and evening. At 1 o'clock in the after
noon the figure OF the infant Christ was
presented to the patriarch, who led the
solemn procession to the grotto or
cradle Of the Redeemer where 1t was
reverently laid, The choir accompan-
led by an organ, sang hymn OF praise,
bells rang Joyous peal and the grand
service ended
