The Quincy Affair.

The hullabaloo which has been rails
ed about the arrest and filming of Mr.
Quincy. assistant secretary of the
British legation at Washington, for
scorching with his automobile in Mas
sacIusetts will probably and most as
suredly ought to lead to d change of
law as to matters of that sort Just
why 4 representative of foreign gov
eminent should be permitted to violate
the laws of the land with perfect inn
purity is difficult to understand 1t is
an outrage on common sense and jus
tee. Nine hundred and ninety-nine per-
SONS out of Il thousand never knew that
such was the case. and perhaps Mr.
Secretary Quincy has unwittingly done
! good thing by his high kicking and
loud squealing. The Massachusetts
authorities refunded his money and
humbly apologized but nevertheless it
all may END III revising the law.
OF course the Representatives Of for
eign governments ought TO be protected
in their persons and their property, but
why should they enjoy privileges great
er than American Fl, rs? AS a rule
they are estimable fox. but occasion
ally there is one among them who
makes immunity from arrest license
for doing most unseemly things. Such
should be adequately punished.

Certainly the most revolving mani
festation of greed recently witnessed
is that of the New Jersey firm which
loaded the cork in life preservers with
iron in order to bring them up to the
prescribed weight simply because iron
is cheaper than cork. For the sake of
humanity it is to be hoped that the
charge is not well founded If the evil
denee is conclusive there is no pun
ishment that could be melted out to
the wretches that would be too severe.
They are infinitely worse than the
criminal who murders for revenge.

The people have been led to believe that
taxation of railroad property would benefit
only the county of Hudson, but when the
figures are produced it is found that rural
counties are also being unfairly dealt with
by the present system. The people are
getting this fact well impressed on their
minds.

Mournful News.

The mournful Intelligence comes from
Washington that Nh. Chairman Bah
cock of the Republican congressional
campaign committee and the esteemed
secretary Of that body, Hon Jesse

reason Of their own poor prospects Of

he surrounding tree tops by the troops
in an effort to discover if possible the
place from which the sound came. The
trer was discovered at length, clothed in
the green leaves of the palm, lying
stretched out al iull length on branch
OF the tree.
While the land forces were moving
forward on the highway not far from the
sea, the United States monitor Monad-
mock followed up the movement abreast
of the troops. Occasionally, as she pro-
ceeded. she cast a shell into the Fill
pino entertainments that lay within view
of her decks Once, just before dark,
as the ship neared Moolos, an extensive
line of works was discovered, in front
of which a white-shirted Filipino SEN
tinel was leisurely pacing back and
forth. A shell was quickly discharged
at the works, but the missile falling a
little short struck the ground near the
sentinel. Other shells followed in rapid
succession before the darkness put an
end to the firing, a number falling so
near to the man that they covered him
with dust when they struck the earth.
He remained, nevertheless, on his post
until an officer appeared and took him
away. A new sentinel almost immedi-
ately took his place and standing rigid
iy erect in front Of the works gave no
evidence of fear, although a number of
shells struck almost within reach of his
hand.
On the following morning the senti-
mel was observed still on his post in
front of the works, apparently as de-
fant and fearless as ever. A number
of shots were then rapidly fred at him,
and more would have followed had not
the captain discovered that the gunners
were firing at the sentinel instead of
at the works, and caused the firing to
cease.
After the fall Of Mololos. and the re-
tirement of the Filipino forces. the great
ship fell back to the place where she
had bombarded the sentinels. To the
surprise of all on board the sentinel was
still at his post, as rigidly erect and i'm
movable as when shot and shell were
falling fast and furiously about him. A
boat was quickly lowered and Il crew
sent ashore to connoiter The sailors
cautiously approached the sentinel who
stood the meanwhile silently in his
place. AS they came near they discov-
cred to their chagrin and amusement
that the Filipino sentinel whose supreme
courage they had so much admired, was
simply a man Of straw, substitute, and
q dummy.

Amusing Incident of the
Philippine War.

Soon after Aguinaldo had established
his government at Mololos, and had
gathered the main portion of the Fill
pino army about him at that place, his
busy spies brought him information that
the American forces were preparing TO
advance from Manila upon his new cap
ital Hastily dispatching a considerable
force from his army, he sent it to resist
the advance Of the Americans, and set
the remainder al work to erect fortih-
cations about Mololos.
The forces dispatched to resist the ad-
vance of the Americans, displayed great
activity, and employed every possible
means at their command TO delay the
advance of the enemy. They destroyed
roads, burned bridges, and laid an am
bush in every tongue of timber that
reached the highway. and in every tan
gle of bushes and vines that offered con-
cealment for line Of troops

Filipinos called for the display of high

When Edith's papa came in from his
office late one spring afternoon he
happened to see the little girl playing
in apparent innocence by the flower
borders behind the house. So, in order
to join her at her play, he entered the
yard through the back gate instead of
going around to the front, as was his
custom, relates Womans Home Com
panion.
When Pc walked up to the flower
borders, which were the pride of his
young wife's heart. he was dismayed
to find that his small daughter had
carefully pulled up all the bulbs which
her mother had planted, and was busily
engaged in putting them back in their
places upside down. She knew rhe was
doing wrong, for her face flushed guilt
lily when she looked up and met her
fathers stern, accusing eyes.
Without a word he took her in his
arms and carried her to the nursery.

prove that | was right in accusing this
person of having played tricks with
my plan for celebrating the jubilee.
| distinctly said that the man | saw
watching me was high-shouldered as
well as long-faced."
DO you think the chief knew this
person was woman?" inquired the
man who had constituted himself
spokesman.
He must have done so. Each mem
Der of the council was selected by him.
and was known to him personally.
No doubt he had good reason for what
he did. In fact, if you think of it,
there were one or two little affairs
planned by him and carried out under
his superintendent that, if we had
thought Of it at all, we might have
known only a woman could have
worked successfully. All the same, if
Id suspected we had a woman amongst
us, I'm afraid | should have funked
the whole business. The woman isn't
born yet, and never will be born, that
I'd trust my neck to. Sooner or later
they're bound to play you false I've
known a good many bad men in my
time-men who were sensual as hogs
and as cruel as tigers-but the biggest
brute of a man living couldn't stoop to
the black treachery that some women
are capable of. And they can be as
treacherous to the man who's faithful
to them and works his fingers to the
bone for them, as they can to the
blackguard that kicks them to death
with hob-nailed boots. | tell you what
it is, my friends, it's lucky for us we
have made this discovery while our
necks were safe. Some one has been
playing us false ever since our chief
died (and we don't know that some
body didn't play him false, and that
he wouldn't have been among us to-
day but for that same somebody.
But there lies the traitor, beyond all
doubt, and you see if things don't work
better with us now that the Judas who
has been trying to circumvent us is
out of the way" ....
No one dissenting from this view of
the case, Councillor Number Two
dropped his platform manner, and ad-
dressed himself to the practical side
of the question.
We'll, my friends" he said, 1--WE
don't stop now to argue whether I'm
right or whether I'm wrong. Let's

disguise as he spoke, and then stag
gered back, his face grown gray as
putty, the pupils of his eyes unnatural
ly dilated, and his breath coming ii

killed her!"
