II was altogether unnecessary for the cable
to state that the King of Portugal was not
struck by a SNOWFALL in a certain inpromp-
tn battle which took place recently on the
estate of the Duke of Devonshire during a
visit of that monarch. Nor was it impera-
tive for the dispatch to declare that the
kings aim with the snowballs was more ac-
curate than that of anybody else. It Is a
well-known fact, not to be questioned, that
a king can throw better, shoot better play
better. In fact do everything better than
the average mortal. II Charles Of Portugal
threw a SNOWFALL at his minister Of course
the minister was hit. He couldn't have es-
capped. 1t Is inevitable that the king should
hit him. That Is what a minister is for.
Charles of Portugal is regarded as one of
the jolliest of all modern m5narchs, one of
the most democratic and approachable. But
no one who knows kings and emperors
would presume to take chances on that
reputation to throw q SNOWFALL struighter
than his ma esty or to duck when one comes
at him from the royal hand.

Superstition and Politics.

The man who swung live raccoon over

warded by having his present accepted.
Although a lifelong democrat. having
voted for Mr.. Roosevelt he wished him
good luck, and expressed his feelings in
this way. 1t is stated that the little AMI
NAL Is to be brought here and enrolled as
a citizen of the Zoo. If the President Is
wise he will stipulate for its particular
care and comfort.
During the recent campaign some ad-
mirer sent the President a rabbits foot
with the regulation history, and wished for
him the good fortune associated with the
charm. How many votes 1t attracted can
never be known, but it is a safe assertion
that it did not repel any. The donor re-
ceived a note of acknowledgment, and we
may be sure that he whooped it up for
Roosevelt within the circle Of his acquaint-
ances with all the greater enthusiasm
from that day.

Improved Foot Ball.

Prince Fushimi is in Philadelphia today
looking on at a game of foot hall. He is
certain to be entertained, and he may be
instructed. There is nothing in such a
contest likely to serve him when he re-en-
tiers the field against the Russians upon
his return home, but If he should move for
the introduction of foot ball into Japan

The Health of Cuba.

The authorities at Havana are sensitive
on the subject of the health of Cpba. They
deny with emphasis the report that yellow
fever has appeared in the island. and chal-
lenge an investigation Of the conditions.
This spirit rs a good sign The health of
Cuba is a most important proposition con-
nected with the promised growth of the
island Spanish rule was almost as dis
astrous In the matter of health as in that
of other things. No attention was paid to
sanitation. and the result was that Cuba
became all but a plague spot as respected
malignant fevers. She had worldwide
reputation, and lost I'm public interest be-
cause of 1t. With charms and resources
which would otherwise have attracted
visitors and immigrants. she could hope
for nothing in the way of prosperity while
her government was oppressive and her
cities were foul She was constant
menace to our southern coast. and we
frequently suffered from our close COM
munication with her.
With other things we showed the Gu
bans while acting their trustee how to
clean up a town and keep 1t clean. We
put Havana and Santiago in prime con-
dition, and reduced the death rate to a
figure hitherto unknown In their histories
Yellow fever disappeared entirely. The
processes, at the start. were little expen-
sive. because there was SO much to be DONE
But once the foundations of public health
We're laid, the cost of the work was not
great. The people saw the advantages. and
made due acknowledgements for the service.
This was six years ago. and in that time
nothing but praise. both in Cuba and out
side, has been heaiI of that feature of the
American occupation. Visitors have fiocited
TO the island with feelings of safety. and
thousands have come to know 1t who would
not have given 1t a thought In the old days
of Spanish control. 1t would be a subject
for the greatest regret, therefore, If for any
preventable cause now the reputation of
the health of the island should again be
blasted. 1t has been shown that the fevers
can be controlled there. and money should
be no object In insuring safety on that
score. The government should make sanl-
tation one of the first of it's considerations
for In doing that and keeping down the
death rate it will advance the value of
every asset of whatever character the
island possesses.

Folk and 1903.

There is danger that the admirers of
Joseph w. Folk may give him too much
exercise before the next race is called. 1t
is four years until that time. and so prom
Using young horse should be handled
with care. He has shown speed and good
quality. and if not trained too fine he
should command some attention for the
next presidential stakes.
Mr. Folk, it is stated, will shortly visit
New York, and there is talk of dinner in
his honor. The eastern democrats know
him only by reputation and many of them
are DESTROYS of meeting him. His success
at home has invested him with great inter-
est in their eyes, and some are disposed
to support him for the new leadership.
Those who realize that Judge Parker is
done for, and oppose a return to Mr.. Bryan,
see in the young man OF Missouri the
compromise demanded. His age, his local
ity and his reputation are all In his favor
This man has an opportunity, and he may,
or he may not, rise to 1t. There VIII be
many difficulties in his way. The more he
does to justify his election as governor OF
Missouri the less favor he will enjoy with
the rank and file of his party's machine
there He must depend, then, for what sue
cess he achieves as governor upon the aid of
a republican legislature, and will have to
share the CTeull OF IHdt SuCGtSS Will tlle re-
publcans. They on their part must support
him in whatever measures he proposes
against graft and grafters, because they
have been called to their places by the same
sentiment that called him to his. All are in
the same boat and must pull together for
the good of the state.
In a large sense. therefore, Mr. Folk, dur
ing the next four years, will be strictly a
local man engaged on local problems He
will not, or need not. become involved in
any national controversies. But that will
have its drawbacks as we'll as advantages.
He should in that time show some growth
along large lines. That he is an honest and
fearless man has been amply demonstrate
ed, but such men are not rare in either
party. He cannot hope for a presidential
nomination in 1908 solely on the strength of
the record which this year has made him
the governor of Missouri What opportuni-
ties before him. and how will he i'm
prove them?

Good Manners,
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

The one true mark of good manners is
absence of manner. The persons whose
behavior. walk, talk and conversation are
such as to attract instant attention by
their peculiarities or by showiness, and to

say, what fine manners" are very likely
nl-mannered and underbred persons who

both the auditorium and Sunday
school room were crowded. The
Basis of Christian Civilization and
:" Excuses were his subjects yester-
day. Mr.. Legg's style is peculiar to
himself simple and direct, appealing
always to the reason. rather than the
emotions, with keen mother wit
running through it all. Relying on
no sensational methods. he neverthe-
less succeeds in profoundly moving
his audiences, as well as riveting their
attentions. Five confessed their faith
in Christ at yesterdays services. To-
night several Of these will be bap-
tized. "The Great Commission" will
be Mr.. Legg's subject this evening at
80.

latter answered negatively and Mr..
Kanaley, of Notre Dame, vice-presi-
dent of the interstate association,
presented two plans in writing to Mr..
Feeger. In substance they were,
either change the grafton for delivery,
or assume the responsibility of hold
ing the contest at Richmond. The
latter alternative was considered and
accepted and bond of $500 was sent
as a guarantee. Mr.. Kanaley sent
a letter before the bond arrived stat
ing that he believed the contest could
be held successfully at Richmond,
showing that he actually meant the
proposition as a final one.
"Before the bond reached him,
however, letter was received here
stating that IT was not an absolute
fact that the contest could come to
Richmond and this was shortly fol-
lowed by another one calling off all
negotiations. Why Mr.. Kanaley re-
called the contest after granting it to
Richmond has not been explained.
E'The solution Of the question rested
in this change which Notre Dame at
first agreed to and later on refused.
At the meeting Saturday the histori-
cal accuracy was wavered and the
board requested Mr.. Feeger to make
changes in the delivery merely out Of
courtesy to Notre Dame. In view of
the fact that these changes meant
practically a retraction of conviction
and that Notre Dame had refused a
change of holding the contest either
at indianapolis or at Richmond, the
easiest way out of the difficulty, Mr..
Feeger stood by the grafton.
''In this he was strengthened by
Mr.. Kanaley's open avowal that anti
Catholic speech, even if historically
correct, could not be delivered at No
ire Dame, and also that Mr.. Kanaley
would not vouch for the personal
safety of an orator making such an
oratiOn This seemed to be an in
fraction on the right of free speech.
Mr.. Kanaley according to the inter
state constitution has the right of
locating the contest and could have
given it to Richmond without con
sulting the interstate board.o
