THE PHILIPPINES.
Governor Wright Sends Interesting
Letter To Roosevelt.

Washington, September 27.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt is in receipt of a let
ter from Gen. Luke E. Wright, gov
ernor of the Philippines, in which the
governor discusses frankly some Of
the conditions which he encounters in
directing the government of the is
lands. Under date of August IS,
Gen. Wright wrote in part:
THE effect of the continued dis
cussion as to the capacity of the Fill
ipino for self government and his I'M
mediate or ultimate independence is
having its effect here and makes Our
TASK more difficult that it otherwise
would be. The less a man is equip

easily can he be persuaded that he is
the possessor OF all those qualities.

900 pounds of hulls, or 400 pounds of
No. meal and 900 pounds of hulls.

to share in the profits. All we ask is
seed enough to run 8 months. Fur
nish them and we will pay hand
some profit to you. You get your
share if you bring us but one load OF
seed.
Beginning To-Day we will pay rs
cents for seed at our gin. Next week
we hope to be able to have room for
all the seed offered us.
We want to express our apprcla-

A READY COMFORTER.
One of Longstreet's Stories of Pri-
vate Pat Doolen.

Many were the stories OF the civil
war told by the late Confederate
General Longstreet, but none of them
were fuller of pathos and humor than
his "reminiscences of Private Pat
Doolen.
1t was this Doolen who, having
been RECALLED with butternilk and
sweet potatoes by a withered old
country woman whose cabin he and
his comrades had encountered in
struggling retreat, made his adieu3
with:

'Nothin' at all, honey, if you all

pitable reply, sFand not many of the

quick as a flash, ''if this isn't the

THE SLY WEASEL.
How He Finally Trapped and Killed
Monster Rat.

A saw,nill ina Iowa town was in
tested with rats which, being unmo-
Tested, became very numerous and
bold and played round the mill among
the men while they worked during the
day. But one day weasel came up
on the scene and at once declared war
on the rats.
One by one the rats became vic
Tins of the weasers superior strength
until only one very large. strong fel-
low was left of the once numerous
colony The weasel attacked the big
rat several times. but each time the
rat proved more than match for his
slender antagonist and chased the
weasel to hiding place.
One day the weasel was seen busily
digging under lumber pile near the
mill. He was engaged for some time,
but later appeared again in the mill,
seeking his old enemy He soon
found him and at once renewed hos
tilities. AS usual, after a lively tus-
sic, the rat proved too much for him,
and he ran, pursued closely by the
rat, straight to the hole under the
lumber pile.
He ran in, still followed by the rat,
almost irnm 7diately reappeared round
the end Of the pile and again lodged
into the hole behind the rat. Neither
was seen again for some time, but
the weasel finally reappeared looking
no worse for the fight.
The curiosity of the men in the
mill was aroused. and they proceeded
to investigate the hole under the lum-
Der pile. They found that the weasel
had dug the hole sufficiently large at
had gradually tapered it as he pro-
the first end to admit the rat, but
ceeded until at the other end it barely
allowd his own slender body to pass.
When the rat chased him into the
large end of this underground funnel
he. quickly slipped on through, and
while the rat was trying to squeeze
his large body into the smaller part
of the hole the weasel lodged in be-
hind him and, catching him in the rear
and in a place where he could not
turn round, finished him at his leisure.

Noah Waded in the Mud.

The Baltimore Sun says that at
Wesley Grove camp meeting last
month the subject of eternal damna-
tom was introduced by one of a
party of ministers and laymen who
were lounging about in one of the
reception tents on Preach"-s' Row,
enjoying secular relaxat:c.- and So
cial intercourse. One gentleman ad-
dressed Bishop w. A. Gambler of the
South Methodist Episcopal church.,
and said:
Bishop, surely you don't believe
that God would permit anybody to be
damned, do you? Don't you think
God is too good for that?"
To this the Methodist with Univer-
salists predictions bishop replied:
II don't know about that. Biblical
history would seem to be to the con-
trary. According to the theory i'm
piled in what you say all the wicked
people who were drowned in the food
went straight to heaven and to eter-
nal rest, away from the cares Of this
world, while the only good man in the
whole world at the time was left wad-

Princeton will forever blame the ele-

mittent downpours of Friday had made
the gridiron soft and Shiny and the
orange and black were the chief suf-

Their backs, reputed to be the fast
est in the country, could gain no head
way on the slippery field, and their
forwards, much lighter than Yale's,
were unable to brace themselves for
the fierce attack of the Blue line.
Luck in Both Touchdowns.

attempt to detract from her glorious
victory. but there was surely an ele-
ment of luck in both touchdowns

same half Yale suffered only once for

was so far in Princeton's territory that
the nre yards availed nothing.
No Spectacular Plays.
The game was absolutely devoid Of

Yale used straight plays aimed at

will the Jays depend largely in the
line. Jones is the big fellow who is so
often mistaken for Mullaney. One
twenty-minute half lays him out, how
ever, and he is practically all in dur
ing the second round. Bridges is the
old Cumberland guard. He pitched for
the Atlanta team in the Southern
League last year and weighs a little
over 200.
According to Forsyth, one of the
ends is excellent. the other being Of
ordinary ability. Bob Kennedy, Sa-
vannah's right fielder in the early part
OF the baseball season, is playing quar-
terback for the Jays. Jack Curran
and Hogan Yancey, both well known
90 Savannah ball fans, are taking care
of the half back positions, and it is
understood Yancey's brother will play
tuHDack for the team. This makes a
formidable aggregation which Savan-
nah will go against on Thanksgiving.
Supporters of the Jays are confident
they will be able to break Savannah's
great winning streak this year, and are
working might and main for the game.
A special excursion train will be run
from Jacksonville on Thanksgiving,
and a large number of rooters viii

Gliding the state championship for this
year. Score % to 6.
From beginning to end the battle
was fought in drizzling rain, but be-
fore a large crowd. The score does
not show up the real nature of the

sistent one from beginning to end.
Quarterback Woodruff played the star
game for the university, while Right
Halfback Billy Wilson was Techs
leading man.
The score, eliminating fumbles, should
have been II to for the Tech. The
wet ball brought about much fumbling.

Georgia Tried to Buck.
Brown of Tech kicked off to Georgia,
and Georgia made three futile attempts
to buck the Tech line The ball was

a Tech runner fumbled the ball and
Georgia man secured it. The dis

for seven and over. Score, Georgia, s;

Georgia was steadily forced back to

her line she held Tech for downs. Sulli-
van dropped back for a punt, the ball
hitting a goal post and bounding over
the fence. A Tech man climbed the
fence first and secured the ball and a
| touchdown.
In the second half a tumble of re-
turn punt after a kickoff and few
bucks gave Tech another touchdown,
and straight football gave another
! touchdown. Georgia lacked training,
her team work being miserable, her
| defense was great and offense poor.
