THE BABY HIPPoPoTAMUs.

From the New York Evening Sun.
 Lotus, the baby hippopotamus in the Central park menagerie. was taken from her home at noon today and sent in a box to Wisconsin. She did not want to leave her home, and 1t was only after the keepers of the menagerie had been coax ing her for an hour and half that she was got out into the box. Although a baby, she weighs in the neighborhood of 500 pounds. She seemed to suspect that there was some design against her from the fact that Director John W. Smith had received instructions that no food be given her since Wednesday.
 Lotus Is the youngest born of Miss Murphy and old Callph, the originals of the hippo family in the park. Hippos are valuable animals and a number of geological gardens have been trying to get Lotus. Director Smith waited for good bargain, and finally HaKenbach the Hamburg animal man. offered him a fine young female elephant a full grown tig- ress, an Indian antelope and pair of condors for the hippo. The director &C., cepted the trade and the animals are ex- pected to arrive from Germany in a short time. Hagenback sold Lotus to a circus company now in Wisconsin.

planted by the Irish girl in the '50s, and later still the Irish girls gave way to the French Canadian immigrants who now fill the mills of Lowell and other New England towns. Little Canada" as it is called in Lowell, mum. bers 24,00O people. The French Cana dians are excellent workers, being or. derly and thrifty, and the women have a deftness and swiftness of touch that is very desirable in cotton mills.
 But the French Canadians do not hold the field unquestioned The Greeks are coming in. There are 4O0o of them in Lowell, and some think they will supplant the French Cana. dians. But whatever the outcome be in that respect Lowell has become a strike center because the New Eng. landers are no longer a factor among the employees, and the coming of the French Canadians and Greeks has in- troduced an element that strike lead CTS can work upon.

Webster Didn't Need the Warmth.

Contrary to a popular belief. Edward Everett Hale now comes forward with a positive statement that Daniel Web ster was not a drunkard. He cites a long acquaintance with the eminent or ator and also an intimacy which per mitted him to know much of his habits and desires.
 MT. Hale shatters conelusively all the evidence of intemperance with which the life of Webster was impugned. However, he does admit that the statesman tasted an occasional glass.
 On one occasion. just previous to ad dressing a political meeting, Daniel Webster entered a small inn. The place was chilly; and large crowd had gath cred about an inert stove. The landlord was delighted at having so distinguished a man as a guest. Handing MT. Web ster a glass of whisky, he said gracious ly: Take 1t, sir. It will warm you up."
 "Thank you,' said Webster. He tast- ed the liquor, made a wry face. pondered a moment and then opened the stoves door, throwing the whisky into the fire. saying as he did so, This stove needs the heat more than I do."

Rural Free Delivery.

The growth of the rural free deliv- cry is extremely rapid. Fen years ago there was no such thing, and now there are 14,062 routes that cost the government twelve million dollars a year. It was not until February 1, 1897, that forty-three routes were act ually established. The first route led from Charleston, West Virginia, which at that time was Postmaster General Wilson's home. Not until April 1, 1899, was the first postal wagon placed in operation, and shortly afterwards the full county service be- came feature of the system.
 Today one-third of the rural popula- tion of the United States is served through rural free delivery. The es- tablished routes now number 14,062, and during the fiscal year beginning July next about 10000 routes will be added. It is. proposed to put in use 45,000 routes by the first of January, 1906, when two-thirds of the rural population will be served
 It is hoped that through the freer use of the mails by people along the free rural delivery routes the annual deficit of the postofice will disappear. Year by year the farmers along a free delivery route write more letters, re- ceive more papers and cash more money orders. The rate of increase is steady and In the course of ten years it will lead to fine results in the service. This, at any rate, is the hope Of the postoffice department.

Illinois Coal Lands.

The coal lands of Illinois, vast as they are in extent, seem to be drifting Into the hand of railroad combines. James J. Hill, president of the Great Northern Securities company, is at the head of a syndicate that has pur- chased 10000 acres of coal landza strip extending through forty miles of the richest coal lands of the state.
 It is said to be the intention of the neW combination to market its coal in the northwest along the Burlington, the Great Northern and the Northern Pacific and allied roads. An effort will be made, it is said, to push Illinois coal into all that territory, thus ex- cluding Iowa coal and other coals mined in the northwest
 There seems to be no intention on the part of the new combine to enter the southern field, or any other field away from their system of railroads. If every railroad system entering Chi cago is to have @ similar coal property the soft coal beds of Illinois will soon go the way of the hard coal mines, nine-tenths of which are held by rail road companies.
 The tendency in that direction is very strong, especially where there is no water transportation. In the Pittsburg district open rivers prevent railroad and coal combine, and an Open Warrior will operate in a ike manner in this district. The Illinois coal fields do not lie along any naviga- ble rivers, and they are open to ab- sorption by railroad companies, and the movement seems to have been begun in earnest.

Lowell a Strike Center.

Near Lowell the Merrimack tumbles over Pawtucket Falls in its haste to reach the sea, and it Is this power that led to the establishment of the first cotton mill in 1923. The industry has gone on steadily prospering through the intervening three-quarters of a century, until today there are nearly 10000 operatives in Lowell. and he struggling town itself has become prosperous city.
 Lowell has had strikes in particular mills, but never before has it harbored general strike in all of its cotton .n. In the early years of the in- the wIeverything possible was done

IMMIGRATION TO PALESTINE.

From the Edinburgh Review.
 Jewish immigration to Palestine con- tinues apace under the auspices of the Alliance Israelite, which alone spends L. 100000 francs year on the Hebrew col onies and schools in Turkey, and other philanthropic societies. The latest phase of this migration, known as the Zionist movement, has for it's object to revive the Jewish state by purching Palestine from Turkey. The movement, though con- demned by some as Utopian, and ridiculed by others as sentimental in origin, pos sesses considerable interest for the unpre- judiced observer of eastern affairs. No one who has watched It's growth can doubt it's practical importance.
 Although the sultan Is not prepared to grant all that Dr. Herzi demanded, there Is sufficient ground to believe, with pr. Herzi. that the negotiations will most probably, at no distant time, lead to conclusion satisfactory to the sultan and the Zionists alike. This hope is strength- ened by the sultans attitude toward the Jews which in it's benevolence contrasts curiously with the treatment meted out lO HIS CnIiSt1dil SuDJeCtS. 1WO years dBOs he appointed members of the Hebrew community to important posts in the Turkish army, while he attached two more to his personal entourage. On an- other occasion his majesty evinced live ly interest on behalf of the same race whose good repute was sullied by one of the bloody accusations periodically brought against the Jews by the christ ians of the cast, and caused the local au- thorities to take steps to prove its ground lessness, thereby earning the thanks of the Anglo-Jewish association.
 Perhaps 1t Is to this increasing favor of the Jews in the eyes of the sultan, and the consequent fear of opposition to Russia's designs in Palestine, that we must attribute 8 step lately taken by the Russian government. The minister of finance Is reported to have forbidden the sale of the Jewish colonial trust shares in the czar's dominions, step which has created great perturbation in the camp of Polish zionists the most deeply inter ested in the concern.

PRINCE EAGER TO COME.
England Will Spend More Than $15o,-
 900 on St. Louis Exhibit.

Special Cable to the New York Sun.
 London, April A.-No decision has yet been reached as to whether or not the Prince of Wales will go to the St. Louis exposition next year. The matter Is still in abeyance and will probably not be set tied for some time
 It Is known that the prince, whose ap- pointment as chairman of the British commission to the exposition was ratified by the foreign office this afternoon, has taken an active interest in the fair and would like to visit the United States on that occasion.
 The practicability of such visit will depend largely on his future engagements. The general opinion is that if these are not prohibitory. he will go to America.
 The commission will assemble for the first time next week, with the prince pre- siding.
 The commissioners are making prepara- tions to spend more money than the f30,- GOO voted by parliament It Is intimated that they will get more. but the amount is not specified.

Booker T. WashinqtOn's Policy.

Tuskegee's chief does not ask his people to give up law or medicine or theology, or even politics. He may think they should do so at this stage of a great game that involves the we'll being of nearly ten millions of peo- ple-millions that are not decreasing under conditions in America-million that will go on increasing steadily, keeping pace with the growth of the country. The negroes are now about twelve per cent of the entire popula- ton, and 1t is not probable they will ever be less than ten per cent, scatter e. over large number of states.
 Tuskegee's policy is therefore subject of national interest. At any rate it touches here and there the na- tional situation. In brief Principal Washington proposes that in this pe- riod of the development of his race 1t is best that the members of 1t should move forward along lines of least re- sistance and least friction, and he therefore advises boys and girls of Tuskegee to seek an industrial educa- tion, in the hope that they will accu- mulate lands, If not wealth, and will be ale to conciliate the whites among whom and near whom they must live.
 Booker T. Washington does not go a step beyond that-not a step-and yet he is encountering opposition, not from the whites, but from some of his own race. Notable among these oppo- nents is William E B. Du Bois, pro lessor of economies and history at Atlanta university, a negro himself, who has written a book in which he attacks the Tuskegee policy. He is a man of culture, a good tallxer and a powerful writer. He is very capable. 10 insists in short that Tuskegee asks the black people to give up political power, civil rights and higher educa- tion, when in fact he does nothing of the kind. The most that can be said is that Tuskegee steadily pulls towards home buying and home building, peace and the accumulation of that degree of wealth in the aggregate which will command protection and respect
 Professor Dl Bois may write until his arm fails and he cannot write down policy that whites in the past have followed and still follow for that matter, and that Is in all respects the essence of common sen59, peace and substantial progress. All negroes of intelligence Will see that Booker T. Washington is a far safer leader than William E. Burghardt Du Bois Tus- kegee far outranks in this problem Atlanta,

 N. Y. IS FREE OF SMALLPOX

up this year, and I think that to this fact we can mainly attribute the victory.
 Tn the second place we have got the people to realize that when sent to the hospital at North Brother island they are well treated. We have made a great point of this ,and 1t has resulted in cases being reported at once, and not being secluded, as was the case frequently in former years. Heretofore the hiding of cases has been a prolific source of the spread of the disease.
 We have also maintained A most rigid inspection over the districts from which smallpox cases came and especially from the houses concerned We have vacci- mated everybody in the .enements, in the city departments, and every one else that could be reached, and we have in- stituted particularly strenuous inspection of lodging houses"
 Some idea of the significance of the fact that New York is now free from smallpox may be obtained from the fact that last year there were 15l6 cases in the greater city. and 1864 the year before In April of last year there were 245 cases and 232 in May Dr. Lederle says he does not expect te Lave half a dozen cases A season henceforth

IN HOTEL LoBBIEs.
Ladies' Rsmove TheIr Had.

''The custom of ladies removing their hats in church will doubtless become as general in this part of the country as 1t Is in some other sections" remarked Baptist last night. At the sonthside Baptist church this morning, the pastor, the Rev. Dr. Davidson, made request Just before he began his sermon. that the ladies in the congregation remove their hats After little pause, first one woman and then another took out her hat pins and laid off her head gear. I1 less than three minutes nearly every woman in the house had laid aside her hat.
 "The request of the minister was req sonable. Hats are often in the line of vision and prevent persons in the audience looking at the speaker on the platform. Up to few years ago women attending g theatre kept their headgear on during the performance, but it is not so now. Theatregoing women would no sooner think of wearing their hats in a play house than men would"

From the New York Herald.


 A TIRED in frock coats trousers VI and convincing whiskers to take the parts of men in the play ''fhe Manoeuvers of Jane" Barnard col- iege girls won the plaudits of their friends yesterday afternoon, when In the college theatre the undergraduates gave their third annual play.
 Not man was admitted to the audience except the musicians who made up the or chestra, and these at the opening of each act were neatly screened off so that they could not see the stage, the barrier being removed when the acts were con cluded
 Much excitement arose during the aft ernoon, when it was rumored that a man" had gained entrance and had bold ly taken a seat in the gallery All eyes were directed toward this portion of the theatre and there, sure enough, stood a tall. handsome individual, apparently masculine and proudly indifferent to the hostile giances directed toward him. The spectators were further astonished to see the intruder bend over one of the young women students in an unwontedly fami- liar manner.
 But the movement, seething as 1t was at first revealed the truth. for the supposed ly masculine spectator was seen to be only Miss Romola Lyon in the costume of her part. A few strands of her feminine locks had betrayed the secret by slipping from beneath her manly wig.
 The masculine garments worn by the players were the most beautiful of their kind. All Columbia university had been called on to furnish collection of waist coats which might have turned Timothy J. Woodruff green with envy.
 And stunning matinee heroine was Miss Lyon in her riding coat and breech- es. Care had been taken to select for

 Tt Isn't athletics; It's fencing jackets admitted a frank junior to crowd of admiring friends. Her Fmooth fitting frock, on being opened reEealed stout canvas jacket underneath.
 The manly attire of Miss f(thei M. Pool, who played Philibert. Lord Aapchild. was also greatly admired. and Especially so her sailor suit of duck trouseEs and blue coat
 In the matter of side whiAkers Miss Lizette Metcaifs makeup was admittedly the most perfect, although MissNC Clara M Howard. as Jervis Punshon alpd Miss Anna G. Ware as Mir Nangle, were not without claims to distinction in this re- gard.
 Many of the sentiments voiced Nh the play met with great appreciation from the audience. When Jane said, "Tihats what comes of trusting a fatherN all the Barnard girls laughed merrily. They greeted with scornful mirth the tihnid Lord Bapchilds boast that he aNad pressed her hand rather warmly" b% they were In perfect sympathy with Jan& when she said, T must say something dashed If ] don't"
 Miss Ethel M. Pool. president of the class of 1903, was chairman of the com mittee. Huge bouquets were handed over the footlights to all those taking part at every stage of the proceeding, and at the close of the play the girls gathered in group on the stage and gave the college cheer, adding to 1t cheer for Eugene B. Sanger, who had coached them.
