THE ZONE TIME SYSTEM.

from the LONDON Telegraph
During the last. twenty years a
movement has been in progress hav-
ing for its end uniform system of
timekeeping all over the world, called
the universal or zone time system. The
principle was expounded by the AS
tronomer Royal, Mr.. Christie, in lee
ture at the Royal Institution in 1886.
The plant is familiar to any CONT
mental traveller. When in Belgium
or Spain the railway clocks agree with
his watch If this has been set to
Greenwich time; in Germany, Italy,
or Switzerland the clocks are exactly
one hour fast of this, and so on. Not
only in Europe but now in every part
of the globe the system is in vogue,
and it is announced in the Observa-
tory Magazine for the current month
that even such a conservative country
as China has adopted 1t. Along the
east coast, from Niu-Chwang to Swa-
tow and up the Yang-tse-kiang they
are keeping the time Of the meridian
exactly eight hours east of Greenwich,
and the Colonial Office has lately giv-
en- sanction of this being the legal
time of Hongkong and the other Brit
ish colonies within the zone. Western
China is likely soon to adopt the time
seven hours fast on Greenwich, and
India and Farther India are about
to fall in with the scheme, so that the
universal time system now goes round
the world, and all the principal ma
tionalities, except France and Ireland,
have adopted Greenwich as their
prime meridian.

One On An Actnr

VIII T. Hodge, the actor, tells story
which is much like joke on himself,
says an exchange.
He was in Chicago some two years
ago studying for Forthcoming produce
ton. Along toward the early hours Of
the morning he called a boy and or
dered bottle of milk" according to
his own assertion.
When the boy returned he bore the
bottle In his hand, and turning to the
actor said: You must excuse me for
not bringing this on tray: but ali
our trays are in use tonight"
is that so?" replied Hodge. and
how does that happen?"
Well" said the boy, Mrs. Pat
Campbell is giving a dinner down
stairs, and they have all the trays
down there"
SO Mrs. Pat Campbell is giving a
dinner?" unused Hodge.
Yes" said the boy, "and all the
actors in town are down there"
AMP" said Hodge.
oh. yes,' answered the boy, ''alI but
the cheap skates"

sHoRrsrGHrrp POLICY.

If It be a fact that, in the cities Of
Cuba, the sanitary regulations that
were established during American oc-
cupation of the island for the purpose
of Kidding It of yellow fever are be-
ing abandoned the Cubans are pursu-
ing a short-sighted policy. 1t is an
nounced that there have been four
cases Of yellow fever in the island
recently. two Of them being in Havana,
ana is paving the way for an epidemic
of that disease. It is stated that the
city is no longer kept clean, and that,
owing to petty politics, the sanitary
regulations that were put in force by
the Americans are receiving but slight
attention.
We do not undertake to say of course
that the freedom of the island from
yellow fever since 1900 is due to the
sanitary measures that were put in
force by the Americans, while they
were in control OF the island, but 1t
is fact that something has kept down
the fever, and it seems but reasonable
to assume it was the system of clean
liness adopted and enforced by them.
OF course, it is in the power of
the Cubans to do as they please about
this matter, but if they persist in
inviting the fever to make it's home
in their cities they will find their COM
mercial intercourse with this country
greatly hampered. Under the Platt
amendment steps will be taken for the
protection of our Southern coast. No
consideration will be shown Cuba in
the enforcement Of measures to keep
the fever from getting a foothold in
our cities. The Cubans can keep their
cities clean if they want to, and pres
sure ought to be brought to bear upon
them to induce them to do so. 1t is
claimed that the cases which have APP
peared in Cuba were brought there
from Mexico. That may be true,
but if they were the Cubans should
see TO it that their cities are kept so
clean that cases imported do not open
the door to an epidemic.

shrewd Mr.. BinkIey.

When Binkley's friends saw copy
of the telegram that Binkley had sent
to Hon. Theodore Roosevelt" con
graduating him upon the election, they
beaped ridicule upon him, says the
New York Post.
What on arth are you sending a tel
egram to the President for?'' they ask
ed. You don't suppose he'll care to
hear from nobody like you, do
you?"
Yes, sir, do suppose he'll care to
hear" retorted Binkley, defiantly, land
anyway, whether he wants the mes
sage or not it will be put on file in
the White House archives, and in years
TO come when tourists peep into the
Presidents collection of letters and
kilograms they will see the name of
j. M. Binkley set down with the big
gest names in the land. How will they
know then that am a nobody? And
even If they do know it I'll be on
record as a public spirited citizen. And
the White House is not the only place
1 am on record. Sending kilograms of
congratulation and coincidence on fe-
licitous and mournful occasions has
been hobby of mine for years. Elec-
lions, marriages, deaths and sudden
calamities have called them forth. If
there is one telegram signed j. NJ
Binkley' among the personal CORE
spondence of the great, there are 500
of them.
Every man of prominence in the
country, from President to the winning
jockey of horse race, has heard from
me. What if they don't know me?
Maybe they will some day. They won't
throw my telegram away, and some
day, maybe, when looking over their
scrap books, they may come across
my name and say, 'Ah, yes, there's
Binkley Let me see, who is Binkley?
L forget about him. must look him
up OF course. don't say that they
will look me up, but they may, and
even If they don't I've got my name
enrolled with the names of lots of
other famous men, and if that isn't
worth the cost of 500 kilograms. I'd
like to know what is"

It's All in the Point of view.

Most men," said the man Of expo
rience, according to an exchange,
think 1t must be awfully nice to have
a wife who takes things as cooIly as
Dave Potter's wife takes them. but
others, more discriminating, would
prefer a good, honest row to her quiet
cynicism. The way she behaved the
other day when she found a letter in
Dawes pocket from some girl over IN
Brooklyn Is an example of her quiet
manners.
"I don't see. wrote the Tragic Muse
from Long Island, how on earth can
ever live without you
Dawes wife read that gush and a
lot more just like 1t without ever turn
ing a hair.
"'Well,' she said. coolly, that girl is
a fool. If she knew you as well as /
do she would be wondering how on
earth she could ever live with YOU
"And that. IN the opinion OF the dis
eliminating few, cuts a whole lot deep
er than a common, everyday rumpus.

THE IGOROTs.
From the commoner.


The origin Of the word is very inter-
esting, DIR. Albert Ernest jerks, one
of the committee, and chief of the
chronological department Of the Filipino
exhibit at ST. Louis. in his report just
published gives a history of it. He
says that Morga in 1909 used the word
'Iglot" EARLY Spanfards also used
the word frequently as ''Ygolotes," and
to-day some groups of the Igorot, as
the Bontoc group. do not pronounce the
~ sound, which common usage now
puts to the word. "The word Igorot'
is now adopted tentatively as the name
of the extensive Malayan people OF
Northern Luzon," he adds, ''because 1t
is applied to a very large number Of
mountain people by themselves, and al
so has recognized usage In ethnologi-
cal and other writings. Its form Tgo-
rot is adapted for both singular and
plural, because It is both natural and
phonetic, and because II is thought
wise to retain the simple, native forms
of such words, as It seems necessary
or best TO incorporate In our ran-
guage especially in scientific lam
guage."

MIR. WATsoN,s MAGAZINE.

In his speech at Thompson the other
he would devote his time to uphold
ing the doctrines OF the Populist par
ty, and that for that purpose he would
establish a magazine in New York.
1t is to be called Watson's Magazine.
There is no doubt Mr.. Watson will
make it entertaining. He is AN able
writer as well as an orator of ability.
He may find 1t difficult to make it a
popular publication, though about ev-
cry one who holds his political views
subscriber to 1t.
II Mr.. Watson follows the line of his
campaign speeches he will level his
guns at the Democratic party. He
seems TO have a grievance against that
party. particularly against some Of its
leaders. 1t is announced that the
magazine will be on sale within the
next ninety days, and it is probable
that it will contain much of the SUBJ
stance of what Mr.. Watson said during
the recent campaign.
Mr.. Watterson, just before his de-
parture for Europe the other day, said
Mr.. Watson was dreamer. II Mr.
Watson thinks he can make Populism
take on a large scale he is dreaming
It has been many years since the peo-
pie first had a chance to express their
opinion of Populistic doctrines, and
the converts to them do not seem to
be increasing.

PIN PRICK CAUSED TWO DEATHS.


From the New York Press.
Philadelphia, Nov. 1s.-That the
prick of hatpin on the knee of a
man caused the death from remorse of
the woman who welded it, and eight
years of heartrending suffering. three
amputations and the final death of the
man who suffered the injury, is re-
revealed by the death of Jacob I. De-
wolf of this city.
1t was a playful thrust the girl gave
to him to relieve herself of his merci-
less teasing. She loved him, and he
loved her, and when the point of the
pin entered his knee and scraped the
bone at the joint neither though much
about it. 1t was in the summer of 1896,
and they were attending a picnic near
Chamounix given by Mohawk Tribe
of Redmen. Dewolf, 81 years old, who
lived with his mother in No. zoos
North Eleventh street, finished out the
day pleasantly, but shortly after he
reached home his knee began to swell.
Next day a physician was called in,
and finally Dewolf was sent to the
Jewish Hospital. Six weeks afterward
his leg was amputated above the
knee The surgeons had out too low,
and a second operation was necessary.
Afterward the sufferer went to the
Union Mission Hospital. There the
leg was taken off at the hip joint.
After that Dewolf recovered, SEEM
ingly, and engaged in business. A
few weeks ago he began to fail, and
blood poisoning developed. 1t spread
rapidly through his system, and for
several days before he died his
screams could be heard in the street.
To the last he refused to diyulge the
name of the girl who had stuck the
hatpin in his knee and caused all his
suffering. All he would say was that
she had died from grief.

When an example in municipal cor
ruption is wanted, preachers and lay
men invariably turn TO the city Of Phil
adelphia to furnish It. 1t seems to be
conceded and accepted on all sides that
Philadelphia is the most corrupt mu-
nicipality in the country, If not in the
world. And yet the Rev. Kerr b. Tup-
per OF that city, in a sermon a day
or two ago. asserted that Philadelphia
leads all other American cities in
churches and church attendance. Phil
adelphia, he said. has taken from
Brooklyn the sobriquet OF the Getty
OF Churches" having twice as many
places OF worship and a very much
larger church attendance than Brook

Suddenly we saw, from where we
were, on a curve of the Nanshan crest,
facing the Kinchau bay, sight which
made our blood bound in our veins-it
was the battlefag of Nippon Tapping
away over where the Russian trenches
were. That was the signal for a gen.
eral rush forward to storm the nights.
There were only a few of us in our
company who could answer the general
order to rush forward-and every one
of us was wounded somewhere. A
minute ago, all about us were sup
pressed groans of men who were des-
perately wounded. These seemed to
come from beneath the heaps of the
dead bodies of our comrades. Instant
ly, as we saw our flag planted on the
crest of Nanshan, the shmout of the
"Banzar' rolled over the field, coming
from the Threats and the livid lips that
would be still and voiceless within
few moments. AS 1 reached the crest
of the hill 1 came upon a fellow wav-
ing a flag which was about two feet
square. 1t was all bloody. He was
standing over the PROSTATE body of

cor of sectionalism of which the Press
boosted with so much junction the 9TH
er day it gives fresh evidence in
charging the South with the Sweep
ing and systematic suppression OF the
suffrage by which whole race Is dis

truth is that In these states a whole

chised. On the contrary, every negro
In the South who can read his ballot
and pay the poll tax imposed upon
white voters Is entitled to the suf-
frage. Moreover, the white people Of
the South are undergoing very consid-
cradle burdens Of taxation In order to
educate the negroes and thus qualify
them for the political duties OF citl-
zens.
What grleves the Republican poll
ticians and their organs is the utter
failure to control and govern the
South by hurting its mass OF ignor-
ant negroes upon the ballot-box under
the guidance of INSCRIPTIONS leaders
maintained by official patronage
What they could not thus accomplish
by setting up the blacks as a political
element against the white people OF
the South they seek to attain by the
arts Of cajolery. They are very much
