STORY AND SONG WERE
FEATURES OF THE PROGRAM

An artistic evening of story and song
was given in the ballroom of the Cairo
last night for the benefit of the First
Presbyterian Church, by Miss Jean
Wilson and Mile. Hardn-Hickey. The
members of the Ladies' Beneficent So
ciety of the Church were the patronesses
Of the affair.
The program was mixture of lit
erary and musical numbers. Miss Will
son gave three groups of recitations, in
Guided in which were several familiar
but none the less pleasing selections.
Riley's THAT Old Sweetheart of Mine. -
which never loses its charm, was given
in graceful and effective manner. Spe-

America Valhalla.

More and more the wooded heights
OF Arlington are becoming the Amer
lean Valhalla, as the years pass and
the patriotic men who have given up
their lives in the military service of
the Government are gathered there
In their hallowed last camping ground.
Indiana has announced its intention
Of erecting fitting monument to the
memory of the gallant Lawton, and
now Nebraska comes forward with a
similar plan TO erect a shaft to the
memory of one Of its greatest fighting
sons Of the past generation.
This army officer was Col. John NJ.
Stotsenburg, daring soldier who,
like Lawton, lost his life in action in
the Philippines. He had been through
the Cuban campaign and his health
had been affected by the experience,
but when orders came for him to go
TO the other side of the globe for
more fighting, he went, like a soldier.
without murmur. In the archi-
pelago he was in many sharp brushes
with the enemy, leading his men with
& daring which thrilled them and a
success which fascinated them His
courage under fire became by-word
In the islands, and when he took
command of the First Nebraska Vol
unteers, the State pride Of his men
REINFORCED their individual bravery
and their campaigning showed the re-
suits of his capable leadership.
Colonel Stotsenburg was killed while
leading charge against intrenched
insurgents. He never faltered in the
face OF death, and his memory lives
as an inspiration to many a humble

Perish the Thought !!

NJ Philippe Bunau- Varilla, some
time minister extraordinary and plen-
ipotentiary OF the youngest republic
in existence, that of Panama, is of
Tended. His tender Gallo feelings
have been subjected to the most poig-
nant and narrowing grief-and by the
very newspapers of America for whom
he provided such columns and col
umns Of valuable first-page reading

been to call upon the President to
offer his most willing service to the
further promotion of isthmian mat
tiers, and some one has been so
unkind as to hint that the Franco
Panaman diplomatist wishes to fur

the addition of the adjective "Ameri-

polished gentleman in question, could

ment from the nations Chief ct is

for a job in my life" And yet his
comparatively brief public career has
been an unusually active one, as the
world knows
Now M. Bunau is about sailing back
to gay Paree He has put the respon-
sibility where it will belong if the
building of the canal fails in the
hands Of plain Americans Has he
not spoken? Has he not offered his
native genius and all his acquired
talents to the country he served so
well by his Panama coup? Will
America be ungrateful and permit the
great canal to be hurried to compile
ton within sixty years or so without
SO much as the inscription at each
end Of the line: IN Bunau-Varilla,
fecit.''
Perhaps NJ. Bunau doth protest too
much. 1t would be heartless to pre-
suppose that his name will not be
among those to be announced by the
President next week on the new
Isthmian Commission. But lest the
intrepid Frenchmar finds himself out
of reach of wireless communication
on his voyage at that time, it may be
that some Of his New York friends
will ease his mind, before he sails, on
the improbability of the tropical light
ming disturbing his peaceful repose
abroad.

home States recognition of his valor-
Gus deeds must recall to many of these
his brave career and impress them
with thoughts that death cannot blot

in the name OF ones country. To
those who Know his patriotic service

to be raised to his memory in historic
Arlington Will be beautiful, no matter
what its contour or inscription.

ncunces the marriage of Miss Lulu Mae

William Whitthaft Bride. of this city.
son of Cotter T. Bride
Mrs. Bride was the guest Of Vice Pres
ident and Mrs, Fairbanks at their home
in Massachusetts avenue during inaug-
ural week. and then renewed a love af-
fair which began at the home of Repre-
sentative Rusey, of Urbana, Ohio, where
both were members of a house party
early in January.
1t was case of love at first sight,
and it is supposed the marriage took
place March IA, either in Washington
or Baltimore. Even the parents of the
bridegroom know nothing of the details.
while absolutely no facts are obtainable
at the homo of Vice President Fair
banks. Mr. and Mrs. Bride left Wash
ington for the West together just after
the 18th. and after a brief wedding jour
ney. went to the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Fairbanks, in Mansfield, where they an
nounced the fact of their romantic mar
ria-e.

They see in it the only practical so

only means of redeerning the country

chronic recurrence of petty revolutions
and at the same time of satisfying the

really vast natural resources under
peaceful and stable government.
Many Are Illiterate.
In attempting to gauge the senti-
ment of the poorer and more flliterate
natives you must remember that the
percentage of illiteracy is high in Santo
Domingo. Go back from the port towns
into the interior and you will find that
the majority of the poems have no opin-
Ion upon the subject at all, for the rea-
son that they know nothing about the
controversy These people for the most
part yield blind allegiance to some par
ticuiar leader of their province or sec
ton, much as the old Scottish clans
used to follow loyalty the leadership Of
their chiefs.

Yet Gen Demetrfo Rodriguez when
he was asked in Monte Cristi if the day

fact that it is Morales who has made it,

President Roosevelt has declined with
regret the invitation to attend the COM

Clearing the All in Morocco

Gerfnany's activity toward Morocco
may clear the atmosphere in that I'M
clean and unsafe country more than
appears from recent dispatches. The
news is, briefly, that Chancellor Won
Bulow has made statement to the
Reichstag, couched IN cautious. and
moderate phrases, to the effect that
Germany would demand that her in
terests in Morocco be as fully pro-
tected as those of any other country
whose citizens did business there as
harmless and perfunctory an an
nouncement, apparently. as chancel-
lor could make
The milk in the cocoanut is split
in Paris and London, as France and
Great Britain are allied for the con-
troll of Morocco to the end that the
interests of those two countries may
be preferred for period of thirty
years. By virtue of this agreement,
France is the virtual governing power
Other nations may and do treat with
the Sultan directly, but the Sultans
will is subject to that of the French
governor, and the results are about
the same as though the French gov
ernor sat on the Sultan's throne.
Now the German Emperor is about
to make visit to the Sultan He will
treat with the Sultan directly and
obtain answers from him directly,
and he will be greatly surprised if
the French governor or anyone else
intervenes between the Kaiser's over
lures and the replies from Mulai-
Abd-el-Aziz. Germany and her En-
peror are equal to more difficult tasks
than this. In six years the Father
land despoiied Denmark, humbled
Austria, and crushed France. In six
years more, in the course of this
Emperors own reign, she established
herself in China and colonized a vast
territory in North Africa She viii

Kaiser Wilhelm's course promises
results. He is to treat, not only with
Mulai and his umbrella, but with one
of the real powers of Morocco, Rails
Iii. He has pledged the King Of
Spain to annex none of the Sultan's
territory. He has served notice or,
the whole world, not only that he
intends to visit the Sultan, but that
he intends to place German interests
there on the same favorable terms as
those of any other country.
1t will be interesting to see what
France and England intend to do
about it.
