SPEAKS ON PHILIPPINES
GOVERNMENT IS COMPARED
Congregationalists Addressed by James B, Reynolds,
 Yale 1884.

There was a large attendance of the
 members of the New Haven Congrega-
 tional club at the fall nestlng held last
 night in the Plymouth church, the speaker of the evening being MT.
 James B. Reynolds, Yale 'S4, who has Tor the past two years been doing spe- cial work for the government at the request of President Roosevelt. Mir. Reynolds subject was American Col onial Administration.
 Before the meeting several new men-
 bers were voted into the association, including the Rev. E. P. F. McGregor and the Rev. Harris E. Starr. Among the applications for membership which will be acted upon at the next meeting are those of Rev. Franklyn Country man of Stony Creek and Rev, R. T.
 Woodbridge of Wallingford.
 The applications for membership to
 be acted upon at the next meeting will bring the enrolment in the club up to 197 and as by it's constitution limits the membership to 200 there will be few othens admitted.
 After prayer by the Rev. Charles Ray Palmer, MT Reynolds was intro duced. His talk was entirely upon the colonial administration of the Philin- pines, which he compared with the administration followed by the British in Ceylon and that followed by the Germans in China.
 The European nations," said MT Reynolds, criticize us for our efforts at educating the Filipinos in the Eng lish language, and believe that we should have followed the policy of the Spaniards in keeping the races and languages separate rather, than giving them one tongue in which to converse and to raise sedition. do not say whether I agree with the American or the European method, and time alone can tell which is the most suc oessful for the nation possessing the colonies.
 "The United States has done a great deal for the Philippines in introducing there branches of the department of agriculture and the department of forestry England has introduced neither into the Island of Ceylon which is a veritahle garden of the gods and which has been a source of great wealth to the nation owning it.
 Another thing England and Ger many criticize us for is the giving to the natives the right to govern them selves in part and admitting them to legislative councils. They object to the general democratic spirit of our and the English merchants will not go to American functions be- cause the officials receive the native chieftains at their own tables instead Of making them eat apart
 Tt may be that the United States has struck the golden mean in its gov ernment of the Philippines. uniting the

 en in the spirit of fair play The in- dustrial condition to-day is so anala- gous to slavery that we are justified in calling our social state wage slavery. Our class struggle is worse than any

 'To understand the present condi- ton of the working classes and by that l mean all workers, whether at the executive desk or shovehng coal. we must follow briefly the history of slavery and see it's former type. In Egypt, Greece, Rome and our own south, slavery was an alleged right, protected by law, by which one man said to another: You can work and produce enough to live upon only on condition you support me-
 There is no slavery in voluntarily supporting another but so soon as such support is forced that is slavery. Slavery prevails when one is forced to turn part of his product over to an- other for the privilege of producing livelihood for himself.
 Centuries ago all over Europe strong and designing men seized the land by force, they despoiled the till CTS of the soil and forced them to give one half their crops to the banditti who became the landed nobility. That was feudal slavery; serfdom, abol- ished after long years of bloodshed. One hundred and twenty or one hun dred and thirty years ago came steam driven machinery; the handicraft worker who owned his own tools but was so much of a slave that it was a criminal offense for him to refuse to work for the price the landowner of- fered, was forced to become a factory hand. The only people who could buy machinery were the land owners, who

had accumulated capital by charging the handicraft worker a rent that
 took all he earned above the cost of
 subsistence. Under the factory svs-
 tenn only a small part of the workers
 could be employed, that made tba
 army of unemployed, who fixed tha
 wages The unemployed would worlr

 our industries to-day are managed entirely by cooperation of the worx- CTS. The stockholders, who demand Ina ] product, are absentees, they change every day, every time the stock is sold on the exchange, they are wholly i'm material in the management, nobody knows or cares who they are, Our req. : pectable citizens are just paupers sup4 ported by others.
 under socialism the workers will run the industries just as they do toa elay only they will keep the product for themselves.
 should socialism come tomorrow no one would lose his job; he simply would get far more money and farelnore leisy ure because the tax of one half his earning now paid to unknown stock4 holders would cease It is wrong to blame individuals for conditions"
 Mrs Rose Pastor Stokes was then introduced. She spoke very briefly on Socialism as the only Remedy fos Poverty" Mrs. Stokes based her claim on her personal experience as a settle9l ment worker.
 We are a prosperous nation accord- ing to our republican friends,o she said, but out of eighty million people, sevs enty million are workers, ten millions are in poverty, three million are unena. ployed and three million little children of school age are at work Charitable work is rapidly increasing, but it cans not keep pace with poverty, It also degrades it's benefciaries." She could see no remedy but socialism.
 Questions were answered from the stage after the lectures and many took the opportunity of asking information on many subjects.

Washington, Nov. 4.-Regret. in- dignation and exasperation are vari- ously expressed to-day in responsible quarters in the treasury department and elsewhere that the requests that have been made to the president to call an extra session of congress to remedy existing financial disturbances should have been given such wide and apparently inspired publicity Inquiry to-day in half dozen trustworthy sources brought to light facts in re- gard to the publication, and appar- ently established the central and sal tent point of inquiry that the pub- lication did not emanate from the White House.

eunpowder and HaiIstorms.

Another popular superstition has
failed to stand the test of scientific in
vestigation. For years past the peas
ants in Syria have been fighting hail
storms with gunpowder, tenaciously
maintaining that their efforts were
successful in dispensing impending
storms. Recently the Ministry of Ag-
riculture granted a subvention for
proper scientific experiments, and
these have proved conclusively that
gunpowder explosions have absolutely
no effect against hailstorms. Indeed,
in one case the firing was followed by
an unusually violent storm, when hail
stones as big as hens eggs covered
the ground
The Meteorological Department has
Joined with the ministry in declaring
that such attempts are absolutely val
ueless, and no more money will be
spent in experiments. Popular super
stitions die hard, and the peasants in
the neighborhood are exceedingly an
grv at the conclusions reached by the
scientists. and are doing their utmost
to prevent the official results from be-
coming generally lmown.-Vienna cor

81. 10000 in Legacy Duties.

The will of Mr.. William Whitley,
the universal Provider," was proved
in London yesterday. The property
has been valued at G1452825 gross,
the net personally being sworn at
e1.325.535. The main bequest was
$1,000. 900 to provide homes for thu
aged poor
In consequence of so much of Mr..
Whiteleys property being left outside
the family the estate will pay an ex-
ceptionally heavy sum in death duties.
All the charitable requests and the
beouests to others than blood relatives
will pay 10 percent legacy duty in ad-
dition to the 8 percent duty levied on
the whole of the property, so that a
sum of nearly 100000 becames pay
able to the Exchequer solely in re
spect of those sums left to charities,
servants and the few friends, and the
total amount of the duties on the prop
erty will apparently exceed G230000.

WENT TO TEA
And 1t Wound Her BObbin.

Tea drinking frequently affects
people as badly as coffee. A lady in
Salisbury, Nd, says that she was
compelled to abandon the use of cof-
fee a good many years ago, because
1t threatened to ruin her health and
that she went over to tea drinking,
but finally she had dyspepsia so bad
that she had lost twenty-five pounds
and no food seemed to agree with
her
She further says AT this time l
was induced to take up the famous
food drink, Postum, and was so much
pleased with the results that I have
never been without it since 1 COM
menced to improve at once, egained
my twenty-five pounds of flesh and
went some beyond my usual weight.
Z know Postum to be good, pure
and healthful, ard there never was
an article, and never will be, be-
lieye, that does $50 surely take the
place of coffee as Postum Food Cof-
fee. The beauty of it all is that it is
satisfying and wonderfully nourish-
ing. I feel as if I could not sing its
praises too loud. Read The Road

"Drunk" in French.

The French have some interesting
SMILES of their own corresponding to
our drunk as a lord" or drank as
wheelbarrow" The most generally
recognized one is the case of "ivre,
the less extreme and less vulgar word
for drunk is "iyre CONNIE une
"soupe" meaning the piece of
bread eaten with soup as we'll as the
soup itself, and a "bouillion" soaked
piece OF bread offering a natural 81
mile for saturation. When the less
delicate "soupe' is used instead Of
"ivre" the Frenchman may speak of
being as drunk as an ass, a cav, a
Swiss or a thrash. The allusion in
the last case is to the fondness Of
thrushes for grapes, which are said
at vintage time to make them IN
steady in their fight-London Chron

Sulphur as a wood preservative has
been used with success in Germany. 1t
is applied in liquid form and upon
hardening it completely fills the cellu-
lar spaces in the wood, resisting the
action of water and chemicals at mod
crate temperature. Sulphur for this
purpose has been found to answer all
purposes where the wood treated is
not to be exposed to great heat such
as the intense sunshine of the more
southern localities, for the sulphur
then takes liquid form and leaves the
wood. Poplar is said to be the most
susceptible to the treatment, but pine
and oak rather indifferently.

Immediately attacked, and it was In
teresting to see the bird eat It, snd
particularly interesting to see how it
let no crumb escape.
When it first struck its beak into
the lump it knocked tiny fragment
off. to land a foot away; and this tiny
fragment it went after and got before
again attacking the big piece. This
course it pursued, with but one or two
exceptions, until the whole piece OF
cake had been eaten. Almost every
time it struck the big piece one or two
crumbs would fly, and these the robin
would promptly go after first.
One man sitting near on a bench
said the robin did this simply because
those little pieces that flew off were
the easiest to pick up; but to another
man its doing this seemed to show
clearly that the robin was very thrifty,
that it went off and shipped up these
crumbs first so as to be sure to miss
none of them; the big lump it could
see easily, But if it left the crumbs
all scattered around till the last it
might lose some of them.
But anyway, that's what the robin
did; every time a crumb flew it went
for it before pecking again at the main
piece, and when the robin had eaten
that down to a piece about the size OF
a pea it bolted that at one beakful.-
