UNRELIABLE EVIDENCE.

From the Kansas City Star:
Several years ago took late train
from Boston to New York." said a man
In business in Kansas City. I'm the
morning I was awakened earlier than
usual by the porter, who said that a
robbery had been committed on the
sleeper during the night and that ell
the passengers would have to get up
Someone had taken six 800 bills from
the clothing Of a gentleman who oc-
cupied a berth in the middle of the
car. Every section had been taken
before he left Boston, and as the train
had been almost constantly in motion
it seemed certain that the persons who
had committed the theft was still on
the car. The porter said no one had
been aboard but the passengers and
that none of them had left. It was
proposed to search everybody. A man
who had berth directly opposite from
the one who had been robbed objected.
He told his name and said anyone
might easily find that he was a man
of good reputation. In the meantime
some officers boarded the car and after
a little sweating got the money from
the colored porter, who was the guilty
one. Then the passenger who had re-
fused to be searched asked the officers
to examine his pockets. This seemed
strange, but he insisted. In an inside
pocket they found six 500 bills. 1t
was merely a coincidence that he
should have the same amount of money
as the other passengers had lost, and
in exactly the same denominations, but
he knew that under the circumstances
he could hardly establish his innocence.
How: was that for a case of circum-
stantial evidence?"

NO PLACE
FOR WHITE PEOPLE

From the Washington Star:
Surgeon w. H. Bucher Of the navy,
stationed at Olongapo, P. l.. has made
an interesting report to the navy de-
partment regarding certain peculiar
physical results of prolonged service
in the Philippines.
There are certain changes" he says,
that take place in those individuals
who are compelled to live here which
are worthy of noting. Some show evil
dences OF this change early. while in
others 1t does not appear until con-
siderable time has elapsed. It comes
to all, however, in greater or less de-
gree. The first symptoms is loss OF
memory and the necessity Of using a
note book to jot down almost every
thing. About the same time an indif-
ference, so common among the natives,
makes inroads on the foreigner and a
daily battle against 'manana' tendency
is necessary to keep it from interfer-
Ing with his duties. This indifference
Is not confined to himself. The dogs

quently when driving to prevent run
ming over these animals that have not
concern enough for their welfare to
move when in danger. An expression is
used to designate this condition, Philip
plnttis. Among the enlisted force that
arrives many are OF unstable nervous
organizations, and in the process OF
degeneration these people follow the
lines of least resistance Alcoholism
excessive use Of tobacco and other ex-
cesses are the usual signals of an i'm
poverished nervous system which, un-
der ordinary circumstances, would re-
quire no stimulation. The drinking OF
vino Is. common among the enlisted
force, and the train Of unfortunate
symptoms following this habit has no
doubt been noted by others with long
er experience than mine. While all these
Ills cannot be attributed to the climate
and environment, there Is a frequency
In their occurrence and a manner about
the way in which they are committed
that is different from that seen else
where. It was wise step to cut. the
cruise in these islands down to two
years, and I thoroughly believe that
observation will prove that even two
years is too long for a white man "a

NAMES OF HORSES.


The practice Of naming horses after
eminent persons is common in England
and France, but in Russia it is con-
sidered disrespectful by some Judges
of manners. A Russian sportsman has
christened promisingly filly Eleanora
Duse, as a mark of his esteem for the
celebrated actress. He is severely re-
buked in the Russian papers. IF this
should be tolerated." they say, 1--WE
shall be having horses called after
Tolstoi and other national worthless.
Nay Kuropatkin himself will be sad
died or turned out to grass. The censor
ought to stop the abuse Of the names
of Christians. Is the holy synod
asleep.?" A Russian may call his dog
Caesar or: Pompey, for they were pa,
gans and their memory Is not revered
by members Of the orthodox church.
But suppose some reckless subject of
the car should call his horse Pobie-
donostzeff, what will the holy synod
say, then?

! The imperial valley. four years ago
was uncultivated for: lack Of water.
Then a.. canal was completed and many
new farms We're opened. Watermelons
were planted and flo,1rished abundant
,1y. In fact, they throve so we'll that
the farmers could not consume or find
market for all Of them, and they
rotted on the ground.
IN the irrigation of the land the
seeds We're scattered everywhere and
grew everywhere. Watermelon vines
sprang up where they were not wanted,
choking the wheat, barley and other
crops: The soil and climate seem so
threatens to displace all other plants.
From the bearer of valuable fruit
the watermelon has become a noxious
weed.
If a market is accessible, the Imper-
}a' valley farmers should have no trou-
Die In turning their plague to profit.
Nature points the way for them to
make speciality of watermelon grow
ing. Meanwhile they are having some
thing Of the well-known experience Of
Australia with the rabbit and the
thistle. The experience of central
Kansas with the soft maple furnishes
still closer parallel.
The early settlers on the Kansas
prairies naturally wanted trees, and
idly. They found in the soft maple a
tree that seemed especially adapted to
their requirements. It was native and
of great size, though not very numer-
GUS along the streams. Trial soon
proved that it would grow almost any
where. So Kansans planted NAPLES in
great numbers and rejoiced In their
shade. But they soon found that this
pleasure had its penalties.
With the maple came a green worm
that fed upon it's leaves, covered the
roads and invaded the houses, to the
disgust and discomfort Of the people.
After struggling with the pest for
years the Kansans finally discovered
the truth. By multiplying naples they
had so increased the food supply of
the worm that it's natural enemies,
even when assisted by man. could no
longer keep it down. The problem
was solved by cutting down a large
part of the maple trees and substitute
ing others.
Probably the Imperial valley farm
ers will have to make business Of de-
stroying watermelon plants where they
are not wanted. Meanwhile their lack
Of caution in introducing a plant into
an unknown environment Is giving
them trouble and presenting to the
world the unprecedented spectacle of a
district where watermelons are so
abundant as to be not only valueless,
but detrimental.

the contrary, though, my dress is al
ways out Of fashion in England and

behind England's fashions and a year
ahead Of Americas. No man on earth
takes more pains about his clothes
than /, yet I get no credit anywhere.
