Metropolitan Diversions

When the city is baking under the
July sun the devil of discord finds it easy
to get up fine little shindy between
the whites and the blacks on the West
Side. Fighting is the cheapest as we'll
as the most ENJOYABLE recreation OF some
denizens of the community. A desire
for strenuous fun and a half brick will
start riot on San Juan Hill that hun
dred policemen can't quiet in hall day.
Heads ere cracked, old scores are paid
off, an element of thoroughly enjoyable
excitement is introduced to break the
m0otony OF the growler parties, and
all, from youngest to oldest, have as
pleasing free show as can be devised
What does the bored patron of the silly
season theatricals know of the real Joy of
life in comparison with the joyous brick
thrower of West Side race riot?
The old glories Of Corcoran's Roost

advisable to hunt in couples, and always

this century is a poor, weak organization,

New Step in Anthropology.

Prof. FREDERICK STARR of the Uni
versity Of Chicago, whose brilliant and
original contributions to anthropology
have given him a reputation which
reaches far beyond the scientific world,
is making new experiment. The

pology is mana term which necessarily

sweeihearts. In the sweeping Invitation given
yesterday the anthropologst asked all the members
OF his class who married to bring his or her

As table OF comparison this is of some
interest but Of little real value. Some Of
the increase, at least. in the trade Of China
and Singapore may probably be charged
to decrease in smuggling. The increase
OF the French Indies trade is accounted
for by large purchases Of rice from AMMAN
during the hard times. The increase in
imports from the United States the Insular
Bureau, evidently Nth reluctance, il
obliged to credit largely to the presence In
the islands of Americans. soldiers and
others. 1t also notes that the sums for
the various years include large items OF
importation for departmental use, school
books, materials for construction, and
other materials.
The value Of the above table is largely
in its exhibition sof the distribution of the
trade Of the islands and our comparatively
small participation in it. The value of
the analysis which goes with it appears in
the fact that large part of the trade
which we do get is American nd not Filipino.
We are not yet supplying the wants Of
the island people. Our share Of their trade
is decidedly petty.
This report Of the bureau is interesting
and instructive. 1t is also rather explana-

finds cause for rejoicing in an export of
boots and shoes to value of 500 900 last
year. 1t notes with satisfaction that we
sold the islands $77,57s worth Of raw cotton
out Of total importation Of $78,O28, and
it is not at all dismayed by the fact that
while we sold China about SIG, 900 600 worth
OF cotton cloth during the calendar year
1904, we sold the Filipinos only about $500 900
worth. or about 10 per cent. of their pur-
chases. The report claims for itself that
it has demonstrated substantially that
American trade has followed the flag into
these new Oriental dominions. In view
of the fact that our exports for Filipino
use probably do not exceed per cent. of
the Philippine imports, it might seem that
the object which followed the flag is only
a dwarfed and stunted imitation of Anen-
can trade.
