DOES IT 1PAY wELL7"
Some Figures in Our Account With
 Imperialism.
From the New York world.

From the New York World.
 Such persons as are doubtful about the dividends on our imperial investments are boldly invited in the columns of a city contemporary to examine the latest treasury returns of our trade with our new possessions and observe that terri torial expansion does pay, and pays we'll"
 We'll what does these returns, and a comparison of them with those of the years proceeding the era of imperialism, show?
 They show that in 1897 the total trade imports and exports included, between the United States and the Philippine is- lands was valued at s447S, SS7, and that in the eleven months of the fiscal year 1903 just reported it was valued at $14,- 66S, ,507.
 In sentence, the commerce of the United States with the Philippines has been enlarged by the staggering sum of S10210,17o per year in the four years since we paid s20 100000 to Spain for a transfer of her right to conquer them
 It is a conservative estimate that not less than $4oO. 900, GOO has been spent with in those same four years to accomplish the "pacification" of the islands and prove to their inhabitants that govern ments do not derive their just powers from the consent of the governed" And although we have been endlessly as- sured and treasured that American au- thority is fully and firmly established our military and naval expenditures for "policing" the 'pacified" Philippines still foIt fn cQ7 000 000 year.
 Let 1t be further noted that of our total trade with the islands less than $400O,0OO a year consists of exports, more than three-fourths of 1t all being imports. And is it not leading article of the protec- tionist creed that an excess or imports over exports is most injurious and ale ways to be avoided? Have not all the tariffs of forty years, from Morrill's to Dingley's, been built on that primary protectlonist principle. Why then, in the name Of logic, are we asked to be- lieve that expansion pays well'-when, not only as to the Philippines, but as to all our new possessions taken together, our imports from them far exceed In value our exports to them?
 But the Philippines stand by them selves, quite apart from our peacefully acquired possessions. They represent the spirit of expansion by force, and our whole account with them Is summed up in these round figures:
 session ..... .s42o 900. 900
 patton -. s7ooo. 900 Tf limited States States. -. l5,ooo. 900 Net annual balance of trade
 against United States. 5000 900
 Only short sum in arithmetic Is need ed to show that if the total value of our exports to the islands were all clear profit it would not pay 1 per cent on our capital already sunk, nor one-eighth part of the yearly cost of occupation.

chIcago's open-AIr Theatre.
chica rn Chronicle.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
 The University of Chicago intends to establish an open-ar theatre for the pro- duction of elaborate dramas. The inten- tion is to revive the classic auditorium, with it's terraced unroofed rows of seats for thousands of admissions.
 In order that the classic drama shall be authenticaliy presented, the manage ment must adhere strictly to classic rules In the classic theatre no women took part in a drama, and women were rarely admitted as spectators. what IS to be done with the co-eds?
 In the classic drama one actor, or at the most two, played all the parts In the classic drama the actor wore huge mask to symbolize the part he was im- personating and also to throw his voice all over the inclosure, the mask being fitted with a mouthpiece to increase the sorority of the vocal organs.
 The profound stiffness, purity and warmth of the air of Greece and ancient Rome during periods of peace made an open-air theatre expedient and delghtfui. No showers of smoot from soft coal chimneys filtered the actors masks or defiled the faces and costumes of the audiences. No factory whistles inter rupted the eloquence of the tragedian; no locomotive shrieks drowned the comedi- ans jests.
 It may also be necessary in the aca- demic groves of the Midway to require the actor or actors to wear overcoats in addition to their masks.
 For the borders of Lake Michigan pre- sent convincing contrasts to the shores of Hellas or the Tyrrhenian sea. Foot warmers might be supplied for small additional fee.

Birmingham has reason to be con graduated upon the success attained by her wholesale grocery trade, a prominent example of which Is found in the jobbing house owned and oper- ated by the Tyler Grocery Go. These gentlemen belong to that business class which is ever alive to improve ments going on in the commercial world and seldom lose an opportunity for broadening and expanding their business and serving their customers in the best possible manner. Their ample capital enables them to keep constantly on hand full line of all articles handled by the retail trade, and orders entrusted to them, whether from city or country trade, receive prompt and careful attention. No or ders are too large to unduly tax their facilities and none are too small to receive less than their best attention.

CURRENT TOPICS PARIS Cruelty in Convent-Trial and Conviction
 E of the Directress of Refuge at Tours T
BY PIERRE KOSHER.

Paris, July 25.-Slow-going Tours has just been stirred to It's muddy depths by the trail and conviction of Mother Sainte Rose, dlrectress of the Refuge of Our Lady of Compassion, ramfication of the Good Shepherd Though the telegraphic agencies to which the London dailies sub scribe have dismissed this affair in few lines, 1t deserves to rank among the cele- brated cases of our time. We thought the horrors of the Good Shepherd of Nan cy transcendent. They have been sur passed by the Tours branch, which goes by the name of the Refuge of Our Lady of Compassion. A terrible lesson they teach is that it is better for growing girls to be tyrannised over by men only than by women only. Prisons are not nearly so terrible as industrial conyents.
 It is hard to get up a case against an industrial convent The court, If at all un- der clerical influence, can discard all evi- 1ence about evil deeds committed more than three years back, though given to throw light merely on character. The wit nesses are naturally victims of the con ventual authorities, and have been terror ised hy the fear of torments in another world. or suggestionized by the nuns. They are besides so ignorant. and their tongues so out of practice, silence being the rule of most convents devoted to needle work, that the unhappy beings hardly know how to express themselves. Their brains are added by ineessant hard work and anaemia. At Nancy the recrea- tion was a formal walk round and round a dark courtyard for half an hour. At the Tours refuge it is freedom to speak at the work table for twenty minutes or half an hour Most of the revolts in these sweating orphanages and refuges are for liberty to talk or to sing. There Is no punishment more deadly to human being of the weaker sex than that of long pro- traeted silence. In conventual establish ments the use of the tongue is thought the parent of the deadly sins. Mohamme- dans are better than this. They allow their women to prattle as they please Is there such another collection of prattlers in the world as the sultan's wives when they are airing in the park of the Sweet Waters?
 At the Good Shepherd of Nancy the ob- ligatory grind is twelve hours a day, or rather was. for the convent is now closed. At Tours "the normal time is sixteen hours" I quote the Procurator of the Re-
The Birmingham age-herald., 1903-08-02

public there: ''The witnesses for the de- fense in the Tours Refuge case had ob- viousy learned their lesson. But when they ceased to give evidence by rote and had to answer questions (not leading qnes- tions) by the judge, they confirmed the case for the prosecution and the witness / Fngele Jean, now a cripple from cruel treatment. They describe the punish- ments as we'll as their limited vocabula- ries allowed, but so we'll nevertheless that counsel for the defence had to ad- init what they stated. This Angele Jean hobbled into court with a wooden leg Hip joint disease had been induced by fre- quent confinement in damp cellar, and no medical treatment or nourishment was re- ceived to arrest it's progress. The doctor had only been brought into ascertain whether she could be quickly cured He pronounced her incurable and she was turned away.
 The public prosecutor stated that besides the usual sixteen hours a day, when work pressed, work was prolonged into the night. Energy, as bound to do, Jagged under such long. strains. To revive 1t Mother Sainte Rose applied her stimulants through the agency of pair of robust lay sisters whom she provided with strait waistcoat, gag, tawse, and douche. The tawse is in knotted whip-cord. It does lOl dDptdI u ndNe DeeH OIten used. The lay sisters began with the strait waist coat. They then douehed, If the patient grew rebellious, they bundled her down to the damp cellar and kept her there some time or locked her up in the room for the soiled linen. They saw to other punishments If she remained obdurate, all of an inhumanly nosome and offensive nature. The convent doctor declared at the witness bar that he protested repeat edly against the douchng. I do not re- peat some of his statements and those of other witnesses on this matter He also stood out against the punishment of knocking heads and faces against the floor, and of making the unruly girls lick up the sputa of those i'll from tuberculosis. "The refuge" he said, lis always infested with that malady." Yet this witness did what he could to help the defence
 The food. said the Procurator of the Re- public, in pressing his charges, was ab- surdly insufficient for the sustained strain on the girls Mother SCinte Rose is a path ological case. She has torturng mania, and endless ingenuity in affording 1t sat isfaction. She applies torture to the body through the lay sisters, and to the mind through the nuns under her. In prisons regulations are enforced under liability of those who disregard them to severe

punishment. But the rules also protect the prisoners from arbitrary severity and the caprlces of gaolers In the refuge there Is no such protection Inspection has been reduced by the clever management of the nuns to a mere formality. The poor little white slaves had nobody to appeal to. If any of them came into small her itage (such thing is not rare in French orphanage) the refuge kept the bulk of it. Thus an old girl now Mme.

 "Dey is bote ringers for each odder, I says. Main lines, trunk lines, double tracks, terminals de whole bunch is loops when dey comes out of de slot machine. When de front of somebody's house slips into de rapid transit hole-in-de-ground de Rapid Transit Board calls de Rapid Transit May or, and all de odder wise mugs dat has Rapid Transit bugs, and dey all says let us get rapider.'
 Sure, says de Mayor. Let us put in de loop below City Hall
 Den de Comptroller says, No he says, let us loop under de East River, five times and repeat, best tree in five to take de money.
 Mot a bit like it. says de Chief Engineer, Let us all get to- gedder and loop from de old bridge to de new bridge, wit a pretzel twist around de Stag Sigh ton building for beer
 "Wit dat de Brooklyn Borough President makes a holler, and he says, De foist loop-de-loop dat is to be looped is to be to Will lismsburg and back
 Why back?' says de Mayor. Dere's plenty of beer and teeatres in Williamsburg. Why back?' he says.
 Den dey all resolves to loop over and under and around all de bridges and rivers dere is, and de meeting adjoins, and reports prog ress. Oats de only progress dat goes ahead"
 Noting doing?" asks MT. Paul.
 "Only loops" says. When all de loops is done you can run around fin more kinds of soicles dan dere is in a slice of raw onion. Dere will be tousand-mile tickets for sale, and you can ride em out to a finish, and never get half a mile away from City Hall. Gents dat puts up scream to get to Harlem can do as dey do now: telephone to wifey to meet em half way; and dey can dine near Long Acre Square and call it a draw. De loops Is coming for fair, but de uptown tunnels, when dey is finished, Is to be cut up into sections, and rented out for hotel wine cellars, and ratkillers.
 "Well, Chames," says Whiskers, after he'd taut a while. You don't draw hopeful picture"
 "Excuse me, sir" says, 'if it's only hopeful pictures you're look ing for I'll fetch you a dope book on Rapid Transit called Report of Progress. Tree sure winners wired every day ain't in 1t along side!"
 After all," says MT. Paul, q suppose dere isn't no longer any usa for rapid transit out to liar len.

Dat was before we decided to build twenty-story ho- tels on every corner, wit few cnucked in between for good measure.
