army. The civil government, he told
the president. was doing a really won
derful work for good In the Islands,
and il had been ably seconded by the
army.
The stories Of cruelties perpetrated
by our soldiers, be said. were either
wholly untrue or greatly exaggerated,
The army bad conducted itself in
way to elicit praise from all right
thinking Filipinos. and this, too, in
the face of the greatest temptations
and provocations, Judge Taft's com
mission had the entire confidence OF
all rightly posed natives, he said,
and It was General Buencamino s hope
that Judge Taft might be induced 10

Absept.Minded Professors.

In Ithaca, the seat of Cornell university
the memory of a certain member of the
faculty is kept green from year to year
by this story of his habit of intense pre-:
occupation and what came of it:
One day he was walking over beauti-
full campus path deeply absorbed in a
pamphlet on a mathematical subject
which had just been received. He bumped
into something, and, without looking up,
raised his hat and said, Il humbly beg
your pardon"
There was no response and he raised
his eyes to see the campus cow.
The next day another pamphlet-even
more preoccupation-a second collision.
Get out of the way, you darned old
COW ~ he shouted.
"Sirw rang the echo IN shocked soprano
The professor gazed into the angry
eyes of the wife of colleague and faculty
enemy.
But that old professor is not the only
absent-minded man in the Cornell facul-
ty," said the officer of the college who
told the story at the Cornell Club the
other night. There is another. He
wanted to demonstrate to one of his
classes how to measure the depth of one
of the many gorges about Ithaca by drop
ping stone and timing its fall, so he
borrowed stop watch from one of the
students and selected stone. Standing
on the edge of the bridge, he was ready
for the experiment. Then what did ne
do but drop the watch and hold on to the
stone. Nor did he notice his mistake
until the watch splashed into the water
60 feet below. He tried to set the stop
on the stone and pricked his thump on a
sharp corner"

corporations as by other clients to take
cases. Latimer made his same explana-
tions, defences and denials.

CrOWding Latimer.

MoNcK's CORNER, July About one
hundred people endured the terrible heat
of to day to hear the Senatorial candidates
speak. The meeting was presided over
by County Chairman R. G. Causey,
There was lively scrap between Latimer
and Johnstone Latimer stated that after
he defeated Johnstone in 1892 Johnstone
had spread the report that he was popu-
list, and so tied up matters in the Third
Congressional district that he could OBJ
tain no postoftice appointments, and that
this resulted in Republicans being held
over in office.
Johnstone said he had not accused Lati-
mer of being populist, but he said Lati-
mer had recommended men for office who
were known to have voted for the Weav-
er third party candidate. One of these
men had telegraphed congratulations to
Weaver and said that he had carried his
box for Weaver.
Evans made lively attack on the seed
policy, and pictured Patrick Henry's I'M
mortal words as changed to these: "Give
me seed or give me death"

Federal Appointments.

Geo. R. Rooster, of Columbia, who was
appointed collector of internal revenue
some time ago, failed of confirmation in
the Senate and therefore had to give up
his Office when congress adjourned last
week. The president has appointed Maj.
Micah Jenkins to be collector.
W. L. Harris has been re-appointed
postmaster at Charleston and J. F.
Richardson at Greenville. Richardson's
appointment failed to be confirmed on
account of the opposition of Senator
Tillman, but the president appointed him
when congress adjourned. Senator Till
man also opposed Harris and the presi-
dent withdrew the nomination until after
adjournment Geo. D. Shore:as postmaster
at Sumter, and J. P. Murphy at Bamberg
were also not confirmed.

Not Yet A POlygamist.

It will be remembered that about year
ago Bishop Henry c. Potter, of the
Episcopal diocese of New York, paid a
visit to the Philippine Islands in order to
ascertain for himself the condition OF
affairs there. On his arrival at Manila
he was confronted by formidable list
of about thirty questions. The list,' pre-
pared by Uncle Sam, chiefly for the Chi
nese and native Filipinos, was, neverthe-
less, submitted impartially to all comers.
Gravely the Bishop, as became his re-
spect for forms, wrote down his name,
age, occupation, place of birth: He did
not even smile as he wrote mo" oppo-
site the question, Have you any opium?'
But this last question was too much.
A look of mock pain crossed his features.
Must answer that?" he asked the
examiner.
The examiner nodded.
And in the space opposite, care you a
polygamist? ?" the Bishop gravely wrote
s'Not yet"
