and will relieve Judge Taft of very
arduous position. The Governorship
OF the Philippines is by no means bed
of roses, and there has been a great
deal of criticism of the line which the
judge has laid out for himself. Indeed
his popularity was seriously under
mined. 1t is probable that no man can
administer the Philippines to the salts

There will have to be a long period of

being so honorably relieved from a
more than arduous duty.

The committee upon the municipal

xiously for opinion of Attorney General
Knox upon county and municipal tax
alton. This was a most important
point, indeed it was the vital point in
drawing up the bill. The Attorney
Generals opinion considers that the
organic act allows the legislature to
delegate its tax levying powers to
counties and municipalities. This
sweeps away many objections which
were being made, and thoroughly clears
the path.

Women and Music,

An erudite and Industrious German
has recently compiled list of almost
1000 women composers who have
from time to time published music of
their own composition. We have gone
over Herr EbePs list with scrupulous
care and the keenest interest, and out
of the 1000 names, garnered from sew
eral centuries and many nationalities,
we have distracted those of a dozen
women composers who have achieved
certain measure of recognition in the
practice of their art; of the other 988
and Herr Ebel has listed the names
only Of those whose work Is definitely
known and recorded-fame and the
living world know nothing. Here is an
extraordinary, fascinating problem:
How comes 1t that during four centu-
ries-from the time, roughly speaking,
OF Palestrina, to the present day
only twelve women have made their
mark upon the history Of creative mu-
sic. and that not one even of these
twelve has accomplished anything ap-
preaching first-rate excellence? The
fact is. Of course. indisputable; must
cal history has known no feminine
Bach or Wagner or Schubert, nor even
a feminine Dvorak or Puccini. Women
have wrought admirably, at times in
comparably. in letters; and in painting
they have worked to honorable ends;
but what woman has written music
that is to be mentioned in the same
breath with the work of George Eliot,
of Christina Rossetti, Of the Brontes,
of Rosa Bonheur. of Alice Meynell, and
Fiona Macleod? Surely not Clara
Schumann, nor Ingeborg Won Bronsart,
nor Augusta Holmes, nor the incorrigi-
bly, superficial Chaminade, nor Liza
Lehman, nor those accomplish ed and
earnest Americans, Mrs. H. H. A.
Beach and Miss Margaret Ruthyen
Lang-to name those among the most
eminent who come first to mind.
1t has been urged, and doubles will
be urged again, that the woman COM
poser has had, as yet. scarcely fair
chance to prove her mettle; but 1t
least equal opportunities with her sis
tiers in literature and art. Certainly
there are today no insurmountable OBJ
stacles In her path; for only the other

PEOPLE ANDTRINGS

A funny story is told by the Rev. s.
Barring Gould concerning Catherine of
Berain. a Welsh woman, who was
known as the mother of Wales, be-
cause she founded so many families
She was first married to John Salus-
bury, Of Lleweni, and became the
mother of Sir John Salisbury, who
was born with two thumbs to each
hand, and was noted for his prodigious
strength. At the funeral Of her hus-
band, Sir Richard Clough gave her his
arm. Outside the churchyard stood
Maurice Wynn, of Gwydir, awaiting a
decent opportunity Of proposing to her
AS she issued from the gate he did
this. Very sorry replied Catherine,
but I have just accepted Sir Richard

A young man has written to this
page to say that he has nice manners
and dress suit, and would like to
know how he can get into society.
Well, my friend, the manners and the
suit ought to assist somewhat, and if
you sit tight and allow your good man
ners to shine impartially upon all, 1T is
difficult to see why you cannot get
into society. Indeed, perhaps you are
already in society. If you are gentle
man and act like one you are always
in good society-betWeen which and
society" there is a vast difference.
There is little set Of fast New York
ers who arrogate to themselves the
term society" and are rather inclined
to believe that those who are not in
their set or known to them are be-
yond the pale. This small group of
blase folk constitute what is known as
the smart set" and among them there
are undoubtedly some persons of birth
and breeding, but they have been
spoiled by having too much money and
nothing to do. But aside and apart
from this small handful Of rather fast
persons-a set which exists in every
city-there is a great deal Of good So
ciety everywhere, very much more
worth cultivating and knowing than
these few who live in a world of their
own and fancy that all the rest Of the
universe is not in it.
Young men and girls who are wise
never belong to one set or clique of
people and make no effort to be polite
to the rank and file outside. When
girl or man desires to be popular he
or she should make 1t point to be po-
lite to everyone regardless of social
standing, or the absurd lines drawn by
| would-be social leaders. When a wom-
| an is a lady-poor, abused, misused
| term-she need not fear that her posi-
| ton will be affected or hurt by polite
ness to those socially unknown; in
| fact, there is no surer way of implying
| a doubt of ones own position, than to
| draw ones skirts aside from others.
There is lots of nonsense talked
about society" it's cachet might be
| more valuable If it were not so often
stamped upon the worthless and the
idle. We make our own position and
it may be an elevated one even if we
are not recognized by the set of per-
sons who would have us believe that
without their say so we can never hope
to obtain recognition. So let the young
man with the suit and the manners be-
have himself and stand pat; if society
not recognize him-that is what we
call society-it will be society's loss.
