FAULTS OF GREAT WRITER.
Critic Points Out Lapses in Works Of
Israel ZangwiII.

Israel Zangwill was born in the
London Ghetto, the child of poor Rus
sian immigrants. He passed the great
er part of mis- youth amid the scenes
he has pictured in his best-known
works. He distinguished himself at
the Jewish free school, began to write
and even to publish-at the age of
16, taught in a parish school, gradu-
ated with honcrs at the University of
London, founded a short-lived comic
paper, and before long achieved some
local reputation as free lance in
the wild melee of London journalism.
He possessed brilliancy. impetuosity,
self-confidence and a first-hand knowl-
edge of what was then the virgin field
of English Judaism. But, according to
a recent critic. 'he did not know how
to write. The central theme in Satan
Mekatrig. one of his earliest stories,
relieved against background of mod
ern Jewish life. is one that Hawthorne
might have envied. The style is that
of shilling shocker.' He described
the evil spirit of his tale as red
haired hunchback with gigantic mar.
bic brow and handsome lips contorted
in sneer and spoke of a husband as
folded in the quiet haven of his wife s
arms.

Philippine NEEDS.
Bureau Recommends Eventual Free
Trade With the United States.

ashington-Colonel Clarence r.
Edwards, chief of the bureau of insular
affairs, in his annual report to the sec
retary of war, states that the three
most important needs of the Philip
pine islands to-day are a market, the
opportunity for farmers to borrow
money at reasonable rates of interest
and adequate transportation facilities.
Provision for the latter has been made
by Congress.
Colonel Edwards says the recon-
mendation upon which the Curtis bill
was based should be presented to the
coming Congress with the following
additional recommendations:
'That after the expiration of the ten
years' period from the date OF the
ratification of the treaty of Paris.
which admitted Spanish ships and mer
chandise to the ports of the Philippine
islands under the same conditions as
ships and merchandise of the Unitec
States, there be free trade both. ways
between the United States and the
Philippines of all articles the growth
and product of either of these coun-
tries.
THAT the application of the coast
wise laws of the United States and the
Philippine islands be postponed until
April II, 1909. from which date this
trade shall be carried in American or
Philippine bottoms"
Other recommendations are, to in.
crease the size of homestead entries,
to remove the limit in regard to mum.
Der of mining claims, to reduce either
size or amount of silver in coins and to
give the Philippine government power
to legislate for naturalization as to cit
izenship in the islands.
The aggregate of revenues from the
date of American occupation to June
80, last, was $S2,73S, los, and the eX.
penditures for that period were ST..
710,73S
1t is stated that for the first time
during the American occupation there
is considerable preponderance of ex-
ports over imports, amounting approx
imately to S1,500,0O0.
American ships carry about ten per
cent. of the exports and imports.

Karischeff said nothing. He knew
he had committed grievous mistake
in defyinG the courier and he felt i'll
at ease. The presence of Cobb and
the baroness, too. was an addltlonal
source of danger. What if Cobb should
discover the presence of Alexis. Ihat
he had not done so already was little
short of miracle But if he should
discover him and appeal to the cour-
ier for Alexis-especially after Alexis
himself had won the heart OF the
courier-there was no question as to
the result. Certainly the courier
would never leave Alexis and Ivan in
his power
The object now was to blind the
courier if possible, to keep Cobb from
the knowledge of the presence OF
Alexis, and to have matters remain in
statu quo until the courier and the
hated American should depart.
Katherine entered the room. She
had discovered the identity Of Cobb
and the baroness.

The door leading to the sleeping

Producing his notebook, the courier
in peremptory tone demanded:

wolves?'
Il do not know it." replied Kari
scheff.
"Then consult your lists and find
out" was the sharp rejoinder.
Nicholas saw that his father was

coLoRAOo's GIFT.
Heart Of Gold Present to President
Roosevelt.

WaShingtOn.-Repres Bon
ynge on Monday presented President
Roosevelt with a gold heart, given by
the people of Colorado. Money for
the heart, which contains no alloy of
any kind, was raised by popular sub
scription, each donation being one
penny.
A total of 5000 pennies was sent to
Denver. These were added to in other
directions, sufficient money being gath
cred to make the total of several hun
dred dollars.
In presenting the heart TO the Presi-
dent Mr. Bonynge said:
MIR. President have a very agree
able commission TO perform this morn

of the people of my state to present to

This is a gift from the people of Colo

I'VE ask you to accept, coming as it
does, from the grateful hearts of all
our people, with their best wishes
for your long continued usefulness to
mankind, and to our nation, and with
the fervent hope on their part that you
and yours may live to enjoy many
years of peace and happiness. To me,
personally, it is a very great honor to
be privileged in their behalf to pre-

Spectators Able to See It Only Ninety
Seconds as It Whirs BY.
The world has not realized yet the
full significance of the historic Morien-
feldeZossen high speed electric ex-
periments conducted during 1901 and
1903. Speeds of 12G miles an hour
mean something in the way of velocity
and momentum.
The track upon which the expert
meEts were conducted is straight, yet
on it the car, when running at full
speed, was only in sight for minute
and a half. That is to say, from the
moment the approaching car first be-
came visible on the horizon. to the
moment it disappeared in the oppo-
site direction, less than ninety seconds
elapsed. Spectators standing by the
side of the track were able to see that
men were in the car but it was impos-
sible for the eye to get sufficient i'm
preston to allow any one to be recog-

That old prejudice against women
who adopt the stage for a livelihood
seems to be rapidly disappearing de-
spite the fact that whenever million

The niece of eX-President Mckinley

BaIfour Cabinet Resigns.

London.-A brief official announce
ment was made Monday that the Cab
met had resigned, that the King had
accepted the designations of his min
listers, and that Sir Henry Campbell
Bannerman had been sent for.
1t would now appear that the entire
program has been cut and dried for
some time, and it is even probable that
the Liberal leader has already com
pleted his Cabinet, though this, like
everything else in connection with
British ofticialdom, must be left to sur
mise.
1t may be stated as certain that Lord
Rosebery will be entirely ignored in
the makeup of the Cabinet and that
John Morley will be one of the chief
advisers of Sir Henry in drawing up
the list of his official family, which will
be presented to his majesty.
Mr.. Morley himself is considered
likely to go to the Indian Office. and it
is probable that Herbert Henry As

the husband bore the same Christian

in his struggle during the retreat he
had not heard her speak.
But it was the presence of Cobb
so entirely unlocked for, and SO mex
plicab!e-that furnished them a topic
which kept them wondering for
hours. That Cobb's presence had
something to do with them, they felt
certain. but now that he was here,
how were they to let him know that
they were near. 1t is the rule on the
highroad to the mines for conveys to
march two days and rest one; and as
this was their resting place. they felt
sure that the mornings light would
bring some means of letting Cobb
know that they were in the stockade.
But what had brought Cobb and the
baroness-for they felt sure it was the
baroness, Cobb having spoken of his
wife-to that out of the way place?
That was the puzzler. and it was to
account for that fact that both Alexis
and Ivan taxed their imagination.

A well known Oxford don was asked
to speak into phonograph, and was
interested in hearing the reproduc-
ton. He listened throughout, then
said with scarcely concealed disgust:
Through this machine l am able to
speak in particularly bumptious and
affected manner" The worthy man
had heard himself as others hear him,
that was all. 1t would be a good
thing for many of us to study onr

CHAPTER XVII.
The Courier's Mission.


The courier bore the insensible form
of the woman into the room occupied
by Cobb and the baroness.
AS the door closed behind him,
Karscheff turned quickly to Nicholas
and said in whisper: 81 have a
plan-wait!"
Then ordering the guard to resume
their arms he gave the command to
march the prisoners to the kameras.
Alexis had revived sufficiently to
move. and was supported by two of
the Cossacks.
The injuries of Alexis were for
tunately slight. The fangs Of the
wolves had reached him in one or two
places on the arms and on one cheek,
but the latter proved to be mere
scratch, though sufficient to draw
blood. and the clothing had protected
the arms. In answer to eager in
quiries he explained that he did not
see the face of the woman he had
rescued. because just as he reached
her she almost fell into his arms and

Washington.-Even in advance of
the reading of the Presidents message,
sugar planters and tobacco growers
have come to Washington to fight the
administration measure for a reduction
of duties on Philippine tobacco and
sugar. This measure was defeated in

Taft, in the hope of making headway,

Philippines during the summer.
