The Promise to the Philippines.

Secretary Taft has marked a new era in Philippine history. His report ed announcement of a popular assem- bly,, to be established in those islands in April, 1907. is the first definite fix ation of something that has been long desired and long expected. It was re- ceived by the Filipinos with grateful enthusiasm, such as it deserved. It will be regarded with pleasant sur prise and with sincere qualification by those Americans-who. as Secretary Taft truly said, constitute the larger part of the nationwide saw with re- luctance this nation assume as an un avoidabIe duty the unsought burden of caring for those islands which were thrust upon us by the eXigencies of war. and who have ever since earnest ly desired to have the islands erected into an autonomous state; but who, VIC might add, have not hitherto sure ly realized that preparation for such a state was so far advanced as to warrant setting the time at so near date. Secretary Taft's information upon the subject is, however. superior to any other, and his judgment will be unhesitatingIy accepted.
 The precise terms and functions of the promised assembly are not yet dis closed. It is not difficult. however, to forecast them with sufficient accuracy. A popular assembly in the American meaning of the term is a real thing, not a sham. It is based upon equit- able representation. and it is invested with real legislative powers and re- responsibilities. which, however, are conditioned upon circumstances and are in no case absolute. Our state leg islatures and the federal congress it. self have their limitations. They are not analOgues of RobespieTre's con- vention. Much more is the Philippine assembly likely to be subject to checks and balances. in a land where such d thing has hitherto been unknown, where the people are utterly unused to popular government and where there are various different and antagonistic tribes and factions contending for as tendency.
 The promise of such an assembly is itself, indeed. conditional. the required condition being that there shall be no insurrectioH in the islands. The req condolences, we might say the neces- sity, of that must be conceded by even the most impatient of those who long ago were cIamorinS for an immediate settlement of the exact date of entire Philippines independence. 1t would be no blessing but a curse to the Ffli- pinOs to give them an autonomy that would mean anarchy. But we have been told that nothing could so inspire and impel them to become ready for self-rule as a definite promise of it. Well, they now have that promise, date and all. It remains for them to secure, themselves, its fulfllment by proving their own deserts.

J. Ii. Hipplegate, Supt. of Public Works, G1 West 9th St., Lexington, Ky, writes:
 "I find that Peruna is ali excellent medicine especially for catarrhal affec- lions and all diseases leading to con- sumption, bronchial troubles or stomach troubles. It also acts as preventative and keeps the system in q healthy con dition so that it easily throws off dis ease. It is an excellent tonic and a great appetizer and as large number of those who have been using it speak very highly of it's curative powers, am satisfied that my opinion of it is correct, and that it is deserving of high praise." -J. H. Hipplegate.
 Peruna is the remedy for catarrh. AL most everybody knows that bJ hearsay and thousands know it by experience. Catarrh in its various forms is rapidly becoming a national curse. An un- doubted remedy has been discovered by Dr. Hartman. This remedy has been thoroughly tested during the past forty years. Pcruna cures catarrh in all phases and stages. There is no remedy that can be substituted.
 If you do not derive prompt and satis- factory results from the use of Pcruna, write at once to pr. Hartman, giving q full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad- vice gratis.

A Tree That Is the Memorial Both of
 a Man and a Tragedy.
 A tree whose name is at once the memorial both of a man and tragedy is the Douglas pine, famous for its magnificent cones. Now, David Doug las was originally Scotch lad who came under the notice of Sir William Hooker. the well known botanist, and through his influence was appointed collector of rare plants to the Hord- cultural society. He travelled for the society in all parts of the world and was extraordinarily successful in his finds. 1t was he who discovered lu' pins, eschscholtzias and godetias as we'll as many magnificent varieties of pine trees, including the one bearing his name But when quite a young man he met q tragic fate while plant hunting He was in the Sandwich isles, and there the natives dig deep pits to catch wild animals, covering them over with branches and grass tq conceal their openings. On to one of these treacherous pits Douglas walked one day when alone and was at once precipitated to the bottom. No help was at hand, and he was devoured by a wild beast which was also impris- oned

There are some odd names for game olrds on the Chesapeake. A small shy snipe that flies with twittering noise Is called the horsefoot snipe because or Its fondness for the horsefoot or horseshoe crab. It is called also the turnstone from It's habit of overturn- Ing pebbles in search of food. The telltale snipe bears that name because 1t always sounds a note of alarm at the sight of a gunner. Chesapeake gunners believe that a single telltaIe can clear whole region of game birds. The w1dgeon Is locally called the bald pate, and the willet Is so called because Of It's cry-will- -wiIl-willet.

The EaFthquake Belt.

Earthquakes are more frequent in volcanic areas, but are not confined to them. A great zone which is particu. larly subject to earthquakes encircles the earth. This belt includes the Med iterranean lands, the Azores, the West Indies, Central America, the Hawaiian Islands, Japan, China, India, Persia and Asia Minor. It is believed that the larger number of earthquakes orig mate beneath the ocean. Tn places where the bottom of the sea shows great variation in depth earthquakes are numerous. They have, in fact been found to be so destructive to tele graph cables in these localities that the cable authorities have named them danger ZoneS."

Raitor of The prass. Having

baitor of The Press: Having furnished the first information of the early history of Thomas Lillibridge to other descendants, I can add sever- al particulars to those mentioned in The Press of Oct. 18th. The origin of the name and family is supposed to be from Lily Bridge, a hamlet Originally named from it's bridge) a few miles above London. Thomas Lillibridge arrived from England at Newport, R. l., in 1899, and was admitted freeman there May 6, 17O1. Considerable research fails to find record of his marriage, and that, with the fact that he was not as young on arrival (38) as most persons then married, make it probable that he was already married, but not long before arrival; as the oldest of the children of Thomas and Sarah Lillibridge was born in Newport 17O1, or early in 17O2. After a few years he removed to Kingston, R. I Y, the Narragansett county" where he was a church war den Episcopalian) for nine years, till 1713. He bought land, 1711, in what was then the north part of Westerly, R. l., now Richmond, but did not move to it till 172O. He owned pew in Trinity church still ill 1719. He died Aug. 29, 1727, leaving widow and eleven children: Thomas, the oldest, according to the English law, receiving the home farm; Robert, the second child, settled in Newport, then in succession five daughters, Elizabeth, Catherine, Sarah, Mary, Esther. The eighth child, Benjamin, settled in Exeter, R. l.. married Amy Sherman, Two of their children, (Rev. David and Benjamin, settled in Wilmington, Conn another, Jonathan, my great grandfather, remained ip Exeter, and with two other brothers there. was in the revolutionary war.
