The news received last week of the
destruction of a whole British column
In Somaliland, is another reminder to
the advocates Of Imperialism Of the
costliness Of that system. The British
square which used to inspire so much
respect, has had it's reputation serious
ly damaged within the past few years.
The breaking Of an English square is
no longer such an infreQuent happen
ing, that it will inspire British writer's
to eulogize the enemy that accom-.
plishes the feat, as did Kipling in his
poem on "Fuzzy Wuzzy."

r. Affection for the Aged.

There is a pathetic charm about old
age. We are sure that nothing is so
lovely as the sanity old grandmother
occupying her accustomed place in the
chimney-corner. There is something
that entrances while we watch the sill
ver-haired patriarch as he fondles his
darling grandchild ON his knee. They
are the salt Of the earth, the treasure
in the home, the familiar figures in
community life. And more than this
love Of others, there is coming time
in our own individual history when we
shall crave the caresses and love of
friends. Old age is more keenly sensi-
tive to neglect than at any other time.
1t is not intentional-no, we may COM
NIT this neglect amid our devotion to
and attendance upon other matters.
We forget, however, that the inward
craving of old age conceives of no
apologies and knows of no reason whv
the oldtime caress and fondling should
be things of the past. 1t transmutes
everything into neglect. Age softens
the heart and the soul pines for the
touch of the hand that would stroke
the golden locks Of the prattling child.
Let's love them more than by mere
sentiment! What would we do with
out these saints? Amid these reyeries.
we recall the lines Of Elizabeth Gould:
PUT your arms around me
There. like that;
want a little petting
At hfe's setting,
For its harder to he brave
When feeble age comes creeping
And finds me weeping
Dear ones gone.
Just little petting
At life's setllng;
| For I'm old, alone. and tired
And my long life's work is done"

Why did Secretary Root allow Cen
eral Miles to go to the Philippines,
anyway? He knew what the general
would find there. But then it must
be remembered that there was an
election last November, and it was
very desirable that General Miles,
who evinced an aptitude to speak right
out, should be gotten out of the coun-
try. And doubtless the secretary of
war thought his policy Of suppression,
evasion and silence, would sufilce to
suppress any report that General
Miles, might have to make on the con-
lsition of the army in the Philippines.

The visit Of King Edward VII to the
pope in the ancient home Of the popes
in the Vatican, is an interesting and
important event. The successor Of
Henry VIII, and himself the legal head
of the English Church, found it pos
sible and probably entirely pleasing
to visit the head of the Catholic
Church, while the King Of Italy, one
of the most Catholic countries in the
world, finds it impossible to accom-
pany the king of England to the vati-
can. Great changes have taken place
since the time of Henry VIII.

It is certainly fact that the peo-
pie of this country agree with Henry
Watterson in his estimate Of Grover
Cleveland in at least one respect, and
that is that the ex-president is re-
ceptive candidate for another presi-
dental nomination. Mr.. Cleveland, on
his trip to st. Louis, was met ut many
railway stations by large crowds OF
people who took up the old refrain Of
'four years more Of Grover"

President Roosevelt certainly opened
up q subject Of intense human interest
when he wrote his famous letter on
race suicide. So great has been the
agitation aroused on this subject that
it has drawn William r. Hearst, a
presidential aspirant, into matrimony.
Mr.. Hearst is wise; he doubtless real
ICES that bachelor would stand little
chance at the polls.

q Where the Sun Jumps a Day.

q Where the Sun Jumps Day.
For many years wise men were con-
stantly asking the question: "Where
does the sun skip day." It took a
long time and a great deal of discus
sion to settle the question, but at last
it was decided.
Chatham Island, lying just off the
coast Of New Zealand, in the South
Pacific ocean, is the one inhabitable
point Of the globe where the day of
the week changes. 1t is just in the
line of demarkatio between dates.
There, at high twelve, Sunday noon
ceases and Monday noon begins. Sun
day comes into MANS house on the
east side, and becomes Monday by the
time it passes out of the western door.
A man sits down to his monday din
ner on Sunday and it is Monday
noon before he finishes it. There Sat
urday is Sunday, and Sunday is Mon-
day, and Monday becomes suddenly
changed into Tuesday.
Some witty observer has said that
the people who have lost much time
ought to go to Chatham Island, for, by
taking an early start there, they can
always be one day ahead.

The St. Louis Exposition brings for
chilly before the people of this country
the great good fortune which befell
this nation when it acquired the Louisi-
ana Territory. The Louisiana Purchase
has furnished a stock argument for
those statesmen and that portion of the
press Of the country which has con-
tended for the permanent retention of
the Philippine Islands. They have
maintained that the Democratic Party
in its opposition to the policies of the
last two administrations, has reversed
the policy of it's founder, during whose
administration the Louisiana Territory
was acquired. We fail to see any
parallel between that act and the pol
icy now being pursued by our govern
ment in the Philippines. The acquisi-
tion of Louisiana was true expansion
and in accord with the policy of this
government and the Democratic Party,
the party responsible for every bit of
territory acquired except Alaska, up to
the time of the Spanish American War.
The Louisiana purchase consisted of
territory contiguous, practically unset
tied by civilized man, sparsely inhab-
tied by tribes of Indians and was ac-
CURED in peaceable manner. The
direct opposite is in each case true
of the PHILIPPINES.

His Fortune to Jesuits.

Rev. Francis r. S. Donovan, s. j., Il
scholastic in the Jesuit order, who is
studying for the priesthood at Wood
stock, Md, transferred to the Jesuit
fathers recently his entire fortune of
$15OO00. He is the son Of the late
Francis Donovan, who amassed for
tune by importing thoroughbred cat
tie into this country. At his death his
property was divided between his chill
dren. Francis Donovan had already
devoted large part Of his share to
charitable works in which he had be-
come interested, especially to negro
missions in Maryland.
He entered the Jesuit order in 1891.
The rules Of the order require fifteen
years Of study before the final orders
can be taken. Although he is now SUBJ
servient to the rules Of the order and
is what is called "dead to the world,;'
he will not be ordain to the priest
hood until 1905. He has been profess
sor of Latin at Fordham and also at
the Xavier college in New York City.

simple.

NEW YORK. April 1S.-New high price
for May and July cotton we're recorded on
the local exchange today. May went to
1905 cents. and July, which was really the
leader OF the market, sold as high as 1O11
cents. Other options advanced from one
to three points. The early strength was
due to active bull support, no less than to
short covering
Late in the session the bull pool bid the
market up and forced further covering on
which May advanced, to 1886 cents and July
to l01S cents. Futures at noon showed a
net rise Of sixteen and twenty-five points
on near months and four and eight points
on distant months. During the early part
Of the session sentiment was really bear
ish, chiefly because Of the weather and
general crop conditions.
The lockout Of the spinners at Lowell
exercised little OF no influence on quo
tations.
In the last balf hour May cotton touched
10.63o and July 1O.2Oc, the record price. 1t
was understood on the street that New
York was a heavy buyer Of short account.
The bull leader supported May during the
entire session.

NEW YORK, April 19.-Justice Blaneh-
ard today decided that Lucien Mas, wit
ness IN the Fair will case need not answer
certain questions that we're asked him In
the hearing before Referee Keener.
Mas was asked who was with him and at
what hotel he stopped the night before the
accident. He replied that he was with a
woman, but refused TO give her r-me or
tell the name Of the hotel they were at on
the ground that as he was married man
the answer would tend to degrade and In
criminate him.
Justice Blanchard decided that the ques-
ton was immaterial and incompetent and
not necessary to the action.
Counsel for Mrs. Nelson then called Al
fred ]. Morranne OF France, Who Mas
says, was with him when he witnessed
Mr.. and Mrs. Fairs death.
'I had dismounted from my machine"
said witness describing the accident, when
the automobile passed to my left. Then
I saw It come to a stop with great noise.
I saw three bodies. The chaufeur's, who
was screaming trying to rise. Next saw
the gentleman. His skull was crushed
out OF all semblance Of humanity. AS
