The committee referred to in the
above dispatch was composed of
Bishop Brent of the Episcopal church
(chairman). Dr. Albert, a Finipino, and
Major Carter, president of the Board
of Health of the Philippine Islands. 1t
visited China, Japan, Burmah, Java
and some of the Malay States and was
absent on it's labors for five or six
months.
This committee was appointed after
vigorous discussion in Manila of the
proposed opium bill introduced before
the Civil Commission by Commissioner
Smith of California, who went out to
the islands originally as colonel of the
California Volunteers. This bill pro-
vided for the creation of an opium
monopoly to control the opium traffic
throughout the entire archipelago, to
be sold by the Government to the high
est bidder 1t was strongly opposed
by the missionary element and church
interests in the islands The matter
was referred from Manila to Wash
ington and the ultimate result of this
step was the appointment of the inves-
tigating committee which has just
turned in its report.

ton in the Case of a Wife
Murderer.

Belleville, ILL.,, March 1.-F'or the
first time, in the history of st. Clair
county coroner's jury has recon-
mended that death be the punishment
for wife murder The unusual YER
dict was rendered by a jury at the

Williams was brought here. and
placed in the county jail. He says
he will enter plea of guilty, and is
willing to take whatever sentence the
court sees fit to give him. He says ne
loved his wife and killed her in a fit
of jealous rage, and now that she is
dead he has no wish to live. If SEN

the same scaffold with Joseph Evans,

The organization of the stock
feeders and stock shippers of the
country, for the purpose of waging
war against the great packing
combines and the railroads of the
country, is attracting quite little
attention, and it is becoming more
and more evident that one of the
greatest conflicts of the age is on.
That there is good ground for the
organization of the men who pro-
duce the meats of the country,
none will question. For a long
time the price of meats to the pro-
ducer, has been out of all pro-
portion. And with every day the
situation becomes worse and worse.
While the price of livestock is
being hammered down to lower
and lower price, the price to the
consumer has upward rather than a
downward tendency. The meat
producer is willing to share his
profits with the railroad and the
packers, but he does not propose to

History Club Celebrates.

On February %, 1904, the Ameri-
can History Club celebrated Wash
ington's birthday, as has been it's
annual custom ever since the or
ganization of the club. This
occasion was pleasant gathering
of the members who received in
addition a now member.
After the preliminary duties of
the meeting were discharged, the
program arranged by the committee
was fully carried out. The meet
ing at the home of Mrs. Francis
Carthew is one long to be remem-
bered. Although the day was cold,
yet the balmy atmosphere of the
parlors, blooming plants, carried us
back to the contrast of colonial
times when the sturdy backlog
rested on the andiorns of a huge
fire place whose bright glow and
reflected warmth made a picture of
content midst perils and hardships.
This being made vivid by the
sketches read by the club pertain,
ing to George Washington's early
life, of his courtship and his mar
rage to Martha Custis, his political
career and final death and resting
place at Mount Vernon.
After the reading Mrs. Sadie
Nathan favored the club with
several selections on the piano and
sang plaintive song which affected
many to tears.
The club soon became merry over
"reminiscences of a laughable nature
Then the program changed by
the announcement to luncheon
which was served in the back
parlor Small tables were richly set
and luncheon consisted of four
courses. The first course, fruit,
salad and sailed waters; second,
escalloped oysters and brown bread
and butter; third, cake and coffee;
fourth, ice cream with the proverb-
ial cherries. Beside each plate an
ebony candlestick and red candle
called forth EXPLANATIONS of pleased
surprise when we were informed
they were souvenirs presented by
the president Mrs. Budd, to whom
was given a rousing vote of thanks.
The serving of the dainty luncheon
was made more effective by the
three fair girls (who waited upon
the guests,) Miss Maud Carthew,
assisted by Miss Grace Morse and
Miss Mildred Ivey.
The appreciative party left at
''ye earle candle light, with many
expressions of pleasure and many
returns of the occasion for their
historical club.

Lowering of Massachusetts aroused
the minority'to applause when the de-
clared that while we are talking about
standing pat the great ship of business
is drifting on the rocks and our boast
ed prosperity is fast coming to an
end" Lowering prefaced this by say
ing that millions of dollars had been
lost to manufacturers and thousands
of laborers had been deprived of work
because the government had not en-
larged the drawback system.
The remedy, he said, was easy. The
relief demanded, he declared, could be
secured by simple amendment to the
drawback feature of the adminiStra-
tive act of the Dingley law, and this
could be done, he said, without inter-
fering with a single schedule or in
any wise revising the tariff. The man.

surplus products, and the demand for
