An Emergency.

AS the story goes, an Irish under
taker was laying out the deceased nus
band of a weeping widow, reports the
Buffalo Times. The corpse wore a wig,
and it was very difficult to induce it to
stay on straight, as wigs ought always
to do, ever if they don't. The bereaved
widow was called in to assist. GO an
git me a pot of glue, Mrs. McGovern,'
said the undertaken, so that | may
keep his wig where it belongs"
Mrs. McGovern set out after the stick
ing material, and after a time she re-
turned. Here is the glue for ye," she
said, with a sigh.
Mrs. McGovern, you kin take back
the mucilage," said the undertaken;
"the difficulty is fixed. used a tack

NATIVE PRIESTS FOR THE PHILIPPINES.

An important conference took place ut
Oyster Bay last week. between President
Roosevelt and Rev. Thomas Augustine
Hendrck, of Rochester. y. Y, who was
recently appointed Bishop in the Roman
Catholic Church and will soon go to the
Philippines to take charge of the diocese
of Cebu. Bishop Hendrick, who is a thor
ough American. informed the President
that it will be his object, and that of the
three other Bishops recently appointed for
the Archipelago, to replace the present
Spanish influence i'll the Church in the
Philippines by American. The Spanish.
in order to retain their hold upon the Is
lands. vigorously discouraged any attempt
of the Filipnos to enter the priesthood.
Any educated Filipino was Il danger to
their tyranny and oppression. and conSe-
quently all the priests were supplied from
Spain and thoroughly indoctrinatcd with
Spanish ideas. Bishop Hendrick and his
colleagues will change ali this by the en-
coura cement of Filipinos TO enter orders.
Seminarics will be established for the
education of young Filipinos as priests,
and their education will be completed. it
is hoped. in the University at Washington.
This will enable Ihem to see the United
States, imbibe thoroughly American ideas
and feelings. and communicate these 10

tion that this will tend greatly to the
rapid Americanization of the Islands.

\ SIDE light is thrown upon Henry Clay
Evans's strict devotion to the letter of the
law without evasion, by the revelation of
the Civil Service Commission of the way in
which he worked his niece in under the
cover of Civil Service to a salary of $1,000
per year, which is about as high as a
woman clerk can get. She was appointed
Sept. l, 1900, at a salary Of $400 per year,
taking n formal non-compet.tive examina-
ton, and in little while was promoted
to her present position, where she is un-
der the cover of Civil Service and can not
be removed except for cause. In five and
half months her salary was increased
from $400 to $1,000 per year, which is
one of the most remarkable instances of
boosting ON record.

FREE ALCOHOL IN THE ARTS.

The National Furniture Association has
made n most reasonable request to Con-
gress for the remission of the tax on alco-
hol used i'll the arts. and particularly for
making varniSh. This is something that
should have been granted years ago. and
would have been but for the opposition of
the Standard Oil Company. which has
benzine to sell, and the manufacturers Of
wood alcohol. These have exaggerated
the dangers from such remission of con-
troll on the production of alcohol Eng
land has had the system of free alcohol
for the arts in use for a great while. and
It has worked satisfactorily. The practice
there is to mix 10 per cent. of wood alcO-
hol with the grain spirits, which make
them absolutely undrinkable. but do not
interfere with their use for the manufac-
ture of varnish and for other mechanical
purposes. There is no good reason why
such n system should not be adopted in
this country, TO the great relief of the
manufacturers and users Of varniSh. hat
makers, and many other industries

AN UNREASONABLE PREJUDICE.

There is great deal of unconscious hui
NOR in the newspapers. if one has an eye
for it. and it is the more genuine humor
because it is unconscious. A striking in
stance of this was the plea before the ST.
Louis courts by the attorneys for the de-
fenSe of the boodlcrS for a change of
venue. on the ground that prejudice eN-
lists in st. Louis against perjury and
bribery to such an extent that Il fair and
impartial trial cannot be secured" The
court spent a whole day In listening TO
arguments on this question. The neceS
Sary implication is that the pubic opinion
in st. Louis is healthy To an extent not
found in other Counties. on the crimes
above mentioned. OF course, the same
plea could be made for Il change of venue
on burglary. murder. arson. highway rob
berry. and other similar crimes. In most
communities in this favored land there is
an unconqucrable aversion to crimes of
any kind, which gentlemen who have been
guilty of them may easily consider a
clincd to think that the prejudice is
wholesome and healthy. and not nearly SO
strong as ii should be. The only safe
guard that we have in this country for
honest government is that the prejudice
against corruption shall be everywhere so
strong that wicked-minded men will not
dare encounter it. 1t is Il healthy sign
that the boodlcrs fear to face any jury of
their st. Louis felow-cit:Zens that may he
cmpanelle.!. and it is n"f at al compli-
mentary to the other County to which the
attempt is made to transfer the trial that
the citizens there are without any preJu-
dice against malfeasance in office.
