j JUDGE PARKEE'S LETTER OF
ACCEPTANCE.

Judge Alton 3. Parker's letter
accepting the Democratic nomina.
ton for President was made public
Sunday. One of the main features
of the letter is its discussion of the
tariff. 1t pleads for reciprocity and
ignores the fact that the Democrats
in 1894 aHnulled all the reciprocity
treaties. Parker declares Tor Incl
dental protection, and declares thai
incidental protection is Democrat,
doctrine. Bat the Democratic plat
form adopted at St, Louis declared
In favor Of ga tariff for revenue
only" and further declared that
''protectiOn is robbery" 1t will bt
seen that Judge Parker's views OF
the tariff are inconsistent with tho
declarations of the convention that
nominated him. His position on
the trust question is very mild, and
it will not be likely to cause the
trusts to regret their contribution to
the Democratic campaign fund. AT
first we were led to believe that
Judge Parker was in favor of Civ.
ing the FilipinOs the right Of "self.
government" without further de-
lay, but he now says that he is in
favor of taking such action ssas soon
as they are reasonably "prepared for
it," which is not unlike the Repub.
lican position on this question, save
that Parker seems to advocate max
ing positive promise to the Fill
pinos Of independence at some fu-
ture time whereas the President
rightly interprets human nature and
foresees that such a promise would
lead to Impotence, unrest and fin.
ally to the conclusion among the
half civilized people that Amerfca
had violated this promise, because
go long delayed. This decision
would lead to train of evil conse+
quences, the far-reaehing effects Of
which cannot now be fully estl.
mated. Any one accustomed to
managing children or others of in
ferior intelligence or imperfect de.
yelopment will readily see the wis
dom of President ROosevelt's posi-
4ion and the fallacy of Mr.. Parker's
reasoning on this subject.
A circumstance which illustrates
the inconsistency of the Democratic
position is the fact that they deny
self government TO the southern
negroes who have had the civilizing
influence of contact with the white
man for four hundred years, and the
educational advantages offered by
the southern public schools and col
leges for more than forty years, and
yet these are incapable, in their es-
timatiOn, while the denizons Of the
PHILIPPINE jungles are spelling for
selfgovernment after five years. oc. |

TAUGHT BOYS TO SMOKE.
schOoImasters in England Gave In
structfons in Use of Pipe and
Tobacco 100 Years Ago.

At first sight the recent agitation for
legislation to prevent the sale of to-
bacco to boys seems to show state
of affairs previously unknown That
such Is not the case, however, is
shown by story of the closing years
of the seventeenth century as related
by De Rochefort. the French traveller,
says the New York Herald
During his visit to Worcester, Eng
land, he records, he was asked by his
guide If it was the custom in France,
as in England. that when children
went to school they carried in their
satchel with their books their pipes
and tobacco, and that, at a stated hour.
the master smoked with them, teach
ing them how to hold their pipes and
draw in the tobacco" There is ample
confederation that this is no mere idle
tale.
What may be called the golden age
of smoking was reached in the reign of
Queen Anne. For over a century the
use of tobacco had gradually but stead
lily increased in popularity amongst the
people of England From the end OF
Queen Anne's reign until the last go
years or so the practice of snuffing the
herb usurped the place of the pipe
among the cultured. though smoking
never lost its hold upon the working
classes.

ARE NOT DRAWN TOGETHER.
Singular Lack of Fraternity Among
the Japanese of New YOrk-A
Possible Explanation.

1t is a singular fact, and without
parallel in any other race. that all
though there are 5000 Japanese in
New York there is no Japanese colony.
The Yankees of the east are not gre
garious. like their brethren from China
town. 1t is easy to see how this comes
about Such Japs as are in New York
are not drawn from the class which
usually makes up the immigrant
hordes Most of them go there with
money or are supplied with 1t from
home and they are free from the neces-
sity of making their own living.
Probably half of the Japs there are
preparing themselves for some profess
sion which they expect to practice at
home. The others represent Japanese
mercantile interests and are invariably
men of great business ability and fully
in touch With American customs. They
become keenly offended when mis-
taken for Cinnamon. That they re-
gard their residence in America as a
temporary exile is shown by the fact
that there are only half dozen Japan
ese women known to be in New York.

DANGERS IN AMUSEMENT.
EnEltshmen Enjoy Sport When 1t
.savOrs of Risk-seek the Charms
of Excitement.

1t would seem as if no amusements
wherein some element of danger does
not enter are ever thoroughly enjoyed.
We English folk, says the London World,
may take our pleasures sadly in the bulk,
but when they are of an outdoor nature
there is no doubt whatever that they
cannot be too exciting or too dangerous
to please us. 1t is just because motor
ing Is full Of the possibilities Of mishaps
that 1t has become so enormously pop
ular, especially with women. who are
ever more ready to face death in pur-
suit of pleasure, despite the fact that
they are always described as bundles of
nerves Alpine guides declare that wom-
en- are quite as intrepid as men when
dangerous peaks are to be climbed. and
when every one cycled it was invariably
the girls of the party who rode the fast
est, risked the worst hills and braved
the thickest traffic. While the pluck of
English women is to be admired on food
and field. it is always just as we'll to
keep before them the fact that the lives
of others are sometimes placed in ieop-
ardy by this very intrepidity. Fool

riding. earelessness on the river and
general disregard of danger signals and
the advice of those who know too often
mean not only personal risk and acct
dent, but danger and maybe death to

KINGS AMERICAN FRIEND.
Corenn Monarch's Confidential Ad-
vaser Former School Teach
and Boomer.


Should Russia and Japan go to wal
over Corea, another turn of fortune
might come to Lehigh ]. Hunt, the
American who is now confidential adj
wiser to the king of Corea, says the New
York Sun.
He has already had more exceptional
experiences than fall to most emen.
After having thrice met with financial
disaster and thrice Cancelled all oblige-
tons against him, he is said to possess
now fortune OF s15,000,000, besides
holding the post already referred to.
He was born at Columbia City, Ind,
and for years taught In the public
schools of Iowa He often wrote poetry
that was published In the state papers.
From Mt. Pleasant he went to Des
Moines, where he was superintendent Of
schools. Next he was elected president
of the state agricultural college at Ames,
Iowa
In the early SOS he went to Seattle.
where he raised money by organizing
stock company, and purchased the Daily
Post-Intelligence, paying $4,000 for the
plant. 1t was not long before 1t became
one Of the strongest and most infiuen-
tial newspapers on the Pacific coast
1t was the medium through which
Seattle made It's boom, and the city was
greatly indebted to Hunt for the rapid
strides it made.
Hunt became identified with many In
terests in and about Seattle. He was
president of one bank and director in
half dozen financial institutions. He
was interested In most of the railways
on the coast and an acknowledged po-
litical leader.
A soat in the United States senate
was 9 red to him at one time.
In the financial crash of 1893 he met
with losses and went from Seattle ow-
ing s1,200000 He sent word to his cred
itors that he would return and pay every
dollar with compound interest.
He crossed the continent and went
TO New York. where he fell in with some
wealthy men who sent him to China to
build railroad
Here he was again in hard luck, for
after his arrival the Chinese rescinded
the concession that had been granted to
the American syndicate
After few months, In which time
he learned much of value to himself
from the Chinese, he went to Corea, and
in some way became acquainted with
the king. He and the king grew to be
close friends. With his remarkable
knowledge of finance, he was able to ne
gotioate large loan from Russia to
the king OF Corea.
AS reward the king of Corea gave
him large tract of land upon which
were mines containing gold and sill
yer. Then again fortune smiled upon
Hunt. He organized the Oriental Min
ing company and sold an interest to the
RothschildS, 1t is said, for $6,000,00O.
He returned to America and called to-
gether his creditors from every point
In one day he paid out more than
100000. He also rewarded those who
had befriended him in his adversely.

AMERICAN RAILROAD SPEED.
Average Largely I'm Excess of All
European Roads Statement
Proved by Experts Figures.

George P, Punll. railway expert, has
prepared statistics showing that the
speed in actual running of American
railroad trains is higher than that of
the trains of European roads. The
average speed OF 55 trains between Jer-
sey City and Philadelphia is 1852 miles
an hour; 30 trains between New York
and Buffalo. 39.46; three trains between
Buffalo and ST. Louis, 38.78; q trains
from New York to Boston, 1906; ten
trains from Philadelphia to Pittsburg,
37.12. The average speed of trains from
Leipsic to Hamburg is 1916; from Bre-
men to Nuremberg, 1851; from Munich
to Frankfort. 94.41.
The speed of fast expresses is highest
over the Reading and Pennsylvania from
Atlantic City to Camden, 67.66 and &c. 90
respectively. The Mediterranean express
from Paris has a speed of 1912: the
Empire state express. 54.40; the Ham
burg express. the scarborough express.
the Plymouth express and the Twentieth
Century limited come in order. The fastest
express to st. Petersburg, from Ostend.
has an average speed of $3.50; the ex-
press from Paris to Madrid runs 1870;
the California limited, of the Atchison,
92.79, and the Overland limited, of the
Northwestern and Union Pacific, 32.S2.

AS we enter the suburbs Of Niagara
Falls, writes Eben P. Dorr, in Four
Track News, on the left. now nesting
amongst huge brick factories, is the pic
turesque stone chimney known as Fort
Schlosser." This old stack, which has
been spared in the march of improve
ments, has weathered many seasons
since its capacious tiue drew the sparks
from Joncaires hearth in the days of
the French occupation. Standing at the
head of the old portage around the falls.
the Joncaire house was a landmark of
Importance in the early settlement of
the frontier Several buildings have
been located here. The chimney, Of sub
stantial limestone masonry, remains a
mute witness of the onward sweep OF
civilization, and the vast changes of two
centuries in the environment of the
cataract. The English, in 1860, erected
a stockade here. and named it Fort
Schlosser," in honor of the officer in
command.

The MILKY why.

An investigation at Harvard college
observatory has shown that the Milky
Way has about twice as many stars as
any other equal area of the sky. This
ratio does not increase for faint stars
down to the twelfth magnitude, but the
proportion of stars of any given mag
nitude is the same as in other regions.
The Milky Way covers about one-third
of the sky, containing about one-half of
the stars About 10000 stars are of
magnitude &c. or brighter, 100000 of
magnitude ST., 1000 900 of magnitude
II, and 100000 of magnitude II 9. while
1t is thought-but not certainly known
that about 1S,00O000 stars are visible
in a telescope of Is inches aperture, that
is, down to about the fifteenth megnl-
tude. There is no evidence of any limit
to the faintness of the stars, although
the proportionate increase becomes less
for each successive magnitude.

PRECEDENCE IN ENGLAND.
Rank There Counts for More Than
Merit-Noted Poet Placed at
Foot of Table.

l knew young American girl, who,
going to England under the care of an
ambassadors family, and attending
her first large dinner party. and look
ing about her, selected as the guest
in the room who most interested her,
one man of distinguished aspect. whom
she resolved to watch, writes Thomas
Wentworth Higginson. in the Atlantic
When the guests were ushered into the
dining hall according to the laws of
precedence, she found herself at the
very end of the brilliant procession, as
one OF two untitled plebeians in the
room, assigned to the escort of the
very man who had interested her and
who turned out to be Samuel Rogers,
the poet and patron of art, and the
recognized head of literary society IN
England. She always said that she Sc
cured two things at that entertain
ment, namely, the most delightful com
panion that she ever had at a dinner
party, and. moreover, lesson in the
outcome Of mere hereditary rank that
would last lifetime. Rogers poems
are not now read so much as formerly,
but at that time the highest literary
honor a man could have was to dine
with Rogers. He was also one of the
richest bankers in London. and was
very possibly the only person in the
room who had won for himself a repu-
tation outside of his own little island;
but he was next to nobody in that
company, and the little American girl
was the nobody.
