BACHELOR MAID PREFERRED
Regarded by Landladiea az More de-
slrebls Roomer Than the
Male Species.

The bachelor girl has gained for her
self new distinction. commonly sup
posed to belong exclusively to her bach
elor brother, She Is In demand as q
roomer She not only equals the mar
roomer In her reputation for tciug de
sirable amoag landladles, but she goes

+ gne, II she is a true bachelor maid II
4 ne sense that she leads business life
she has all his advantages as TO alb
sence during the day, and II she cher.
ishes in her secret heart a desire to wash
out handkcrchiefs or borrow a hatlror
she has the reputation Of either not hay
ing time for il or carefully suppress
Ing H.
Neither the doors nor the hearts oi
landladles have opened readily 20 hel
call, however. Owing to the increasing
demand OF this class OF women for a
place TO lodge an agency in Chicago ap.
plies itself 20 its needs exclusively.
1T Is difficult at flrst. said the woman
In charge Ito get some people to even
consider taking woman. But the mar
ket Is not overfull o. men .5cmers, and
the woman who Is anxious 10 add 70 her
house money decides after some hesita-
ton 10 try IT,
Pretty soon she Is back. Give me
another OF those business women. she
says She leaves no ashes nor euspidors
TO be cleaned, she gathers up her own
laundry and hangs up her own clothes,
and Is neater generally than the men I've

The bachelor maid also has the habit
Of casually mentioning 10 her landlady
the hour at which she expects TO be In at
night. which many times is much APP
preciated, She Is almost sure, too. TO be
good pay. In fact. what are called social
references rather than business refer
ences are what we are asked TO furnish
with women renters. The average wom-
an who takes a girl into her home wants

OF her social life In the evening is car

ever the business woman Is obseryant
Of these things, and the one thing which
sometimes deters a woman from rent
ing her rooms TO bachelor maid is the
fact that she Is apt 20 ask the privilege
Of receiving her callers In the parlor.
Many women renting to business women

PHILIPPINE coNsTARulARY.
Native Police and Scouts Make Up nn
Army Of Twenty Thon-
aand Men.

The native eonstahulary In the
Philippines. 5000 strong. which. to-
gether with the native scouts, tho
United States troops and the municipal
police must maintain peace In the Is
lands. is a subject OF distrust In Ger.
tain quarters. There are complaints,
says a Washington report. that the gov
ernment Is educating a lot of dangerous.
irresponsible natives TO fight against it
should another revolution occur. These
critics find ground for their apprehen-
sion In recent mutiny. and also In the
fact that many OF the privates were In
the army OF Aguinaldo and that after
serving terms OF two years and learning
all there is TO know they decline to re-
enlist.
II Is true that there was a mutiny. or
rather desertion, In the constahulary
forces In northern Luzon last February
lalcarte, captain general and supreme
dictator OF the democratic republic o.
the Philippines, whose headquarters are
in the bush, managed TO get into COM
munication with a corporal and six men
In charge OF one Of the constabulary
posts In the mountains. BY appealing
TO their vanity and craze for titles he
persuaded them TO desert their posts and
become major generals and brigadier
generals In his phantom army.
The FillpInos are always dramatic.
and this corporal and six men deserted
with as much ceremony as might attend
the organization OF an empire. They
were almost Immediately captured. how
ever Two of them have been sentenced
TO death. and the rest have gone to the
penitentiary for life. These severe PEN
alties we're considered not only eSpedi-
ent. but necessary for moral effect upon
the remainder of the corps. and TO con-
vince all whom It might concern OF the
folly and danger OF trifling with the SOW
erelgnty OF the United States.
This Is the only instance In which the
constabulary have proved faithless. and
II Is known that they have been tempted
many times.
In addition 10 the constabulary. there
is corps OF 5000 native scouts. under
the direct command OF the military and
the ordinary municipal police force.
which throughout the islands aggregates
ten captains. III lieutenants. Gss SER
geants. t.1sl corporals and 1873 pr!-
vates-a grand total OF 9925 men. Thus
altogether there are In the neighbonhood
Of 10000 natives under arms for the pur-
pose OF preserving peace and order. and
about the same number Of regular Amer
lean troops.
Gov. Taft, In his final report alludes
indirectly TO the apprehensiqns that
have frequently uttered concerning the
peril OF drilling ard arming so many ma
tlves for they alone would make
formidable force in case Of another rev.
olution.

TEACHING The FILlp.Nos.
What Uncle Sam rs Accomplishing
for His Wards in an Educa-
tionai Way.

Uncle Sam is holding out very
bright future TO the ambitiously In.
clined Filiplnos by recently establish.
ing for their special benefit at the
worlds fair, in St Louis, a model edu-
cational school, which has created the
greatest enthusiasm among the inhabi.

wonderful progress and advancement on
the part OF eager students, says the
Evening Star. The latter are deeply
appreolat,ng, as they have no other un-

ment in their behalf, the inauguration
Of this successful educational lnstitu-
tion.
II is safe 70 say that there has never
been offered in the United States any
more interesting exhibit. for either stu
dent or general public. than the model
Philippine school. which holds daily
sessions from 1880 10 1880 a. M, on
the Philippine exposition grounds at the
worlds fair Miss Marie del Pillar

insular normal school OF the United

strangest gatherings OF widely different
races which any educational movement
Of the worlds history has ever brought

In this one little bamboo and nipa
structure, typical OF the native school,
are assembled the Catholic visayan. the
Mohammeden Moro. the head-hunting
lgorrote and the primitive Negrito,
with their wildly superstltious pagan
beliefs.
These greatly contrasting races from
that chronological pot-pourri. the Phil
ippine islands, which for the most part
were never brought face to face be-
fore coming to the exposition, and
which have since then dwelt clannish-
ly apart In separate villages. are for
