Snobbery.


An advertisement lately appeared
IN the papers of Pittsburg announ-
cling that by the payment Of . certain
liberal sum Of money a limited num-
Der Of persons Of wealth and high so
cial position could secure the priv.
iege Of presentation at the English
court The young man who inserted
the advertisement was arrested a. .
swindler. in spite of his insistence
that he could do all he had promised:
but the most interesting phase Of the
affair was the large number of per-
sons who were eager to accept his
offer. They fiocked to the hotel in
such eagerness and were 20 anxious
to be among the chosen that the po-
lice had difficulty in getting them to
60 home. To the outsider of we'll
balanced mind there must always be
something amusing in such an exhibi-
tion Of snobbery, says the Youths
Companion. Yet this was only one
form Of trait which exists in some
shape and to some degree In most per-
sons. The snobs who will pay to be
presented to court are separated by
no very clear line from those who
will pay to get their names into "A
Thousand Great Men" or THE Blue
bloods Of New York." and hundreds
Of others who hold themselves far
above such crude and overt snobbery
as this will nevertheless pay what is
virtually blackmail Of one sort or an.
other to buy the social approval or
escape the social censure Of their fel.
lows. Snobbery Of whatever kind Is q
heel Of Achilles to the possessor. AL.
though he may be covered with the
armor Of intelligence, good intentions
and experience he will still be vulner.
able through his vanity. None know
this better than the swindlers anG
"bunco-steerers" who make their liv.
ing by 1t. They love the snob be-
cause they know that snobbery and
courage seldom 60 together.

The Maine papers are taking note
Of the continued decrease Of children
of school age in the rural districts
down east. Instances are mentioned
where there are but two or three
children attending district school.
and in several localities where two OF
three districts have been combined
there are only dozen pupils or SO In
the consolidated school. It's a melan.
choly picture. but no more SO than
can be found nearer home In some OF
the hill towns Of Massachusetts, re.

red schoolhouses lack patronage, but

SEcRETARY TAET'S SPECIAL RE-
PORT OF HIS VISIT TO THE
ISLANDS.
PRESIDENT SATISFIED
PARTIALLY OPEN
DOOR TO Philippine
PRODUCTS.

WaSnlngton.-N10e years alter tne
battle of Manila Bay Secretary Taft
records the results Of the American
forecasts the future OF the Filipinos, in
an exhaustive report transmitted to
Congress by the President, with a let
ter written by the chief executive.
commencing in the highest terms the
secretary's conclusions.
The President declares that ruin
would have followed the adoption of
any other policy toward the Philip
pines than that outlined by William
Mckinley and carried forward through
these nine years, and asserts tri-
umphantly that there is NO brighter
page in history than that dealing with
the relations between the strong and
the weak in those islands. He adds
that the Filipinos have yet a long
way to travel before they will be fit
for complete self-government."
Secretary of War Taft has sub
mitted a special report upon his re-
cent visit to the Philippine Islands in
which he makes the following recon-
mendations:
"First-That Legislation be adopted
by Congress admitting the products of
the Philippine Islands to the markets
Of the United States, with such rea-
sonable limitations as may remove
fear Of interference with the tobacco
and sugar interests of the United
States.
"Second-That the present restric-
tions be removed as to the acquisition
Of mining claims and the holding Of
lands by corporations in the Philip
pines.
"Third-That further legislation be
passed authorizing the Philippine gov.
ernment, If it chooses, to open and
conduct an agricultural bank. with a
capital not exceeding $2,0OO,00O.
"Fourth-That the coastwise laws OF
the United States be made perma.
nently inapplicable to the trade be-
tween the ports of the islands and the
ports of the United States"
President Roosevelt in submitting
the special report to Congress ex
presses hearty approval of the recon-
mendations in the following words:
II heartily concur in the recon-
mendations he makes. and I call es
pecial attention to the admirable work
Of Governor Smith and his associates
1t Is subject for Just national graft
fication that such report as this can
be made. No great civilized power
has ever managed with such wisdom
and disinterestedness the affairs of a
people committed by the accident OF
war to its hands.
Save only our attitude toward
Cuba, question whether there is a
brighter page in the annals of inter.
national dealing between the strong
and the weak than the page which
tells of our doings in the Philippines.
"The islanders have made real ad.
vances in hopeful direction, and
they have opened well with the new
Philippine assembly; they have yet a
long way to travel before they will be
fit for complete self.government, and
for deciding, as it will then be their
duty to do. whether this selfgovern.
ment shall be accompanied by com.
plete independence. 1t will probably
be generation, it may even be longer,
before this point is reached; but 1t is
most gratifying that such substantial
progress toward this as goal has al.
ready been accomplished"

team won its second game Of the sea son
yesterday by downing the Catholic Uni
versity team in an easy game, by a score
Of Z to 3.
Tommy Cantwell was on the slab for
the first time this year. and had excellent
control. as he did not pass a man. Mont
gomery, who made his first appearance
behind the bat. did fairly we'll, but on
several occasions missed wide curves,
which resulted dissastrously for his team
as two runners scored in the initial In
ming by his letting the third strike get
away from him. Mayock was at the Sec
ond bag for Georgetown and made good,
he getting two hits. in addition to fur
nishing a circus catch Of a Texas Lacquer
in the fourth inning.
Devine and Eckenrode were substituted
for Cantwell and Montgomery in the sew

while Georgetown only earned one.

stable after the Benning races last even
ing, and 1t consists of two horses just
now-Animus and Call Boy.

racegoers as Whitley paid 5000 to
John E. Madden for Animus and Call
Boy after a short conference in the pad
dock following the victory Of Animus
in the last race Of the day.
Animus spent the night in the Madden
barn, and then went over to the stable
Of William Shields, who will train him
and Call Boy for Langdon. John Madden
was properly elated over the victory of
Animus In his colors. this being his first
at the meeting, and he had good wager
on the horse. but, as always. he was
ready to sell when Langdon made him
an offer.
Things have been coming "Whitey's"
way OF late. and he was anxious to see
something running in his colors He
met Madden after the race and made q
proposition to buy the pair. Cali Boy has
been much talked of over here. and ran a
good second yesterday. Animus is a
shifty horse, and has changed hands
twice now at the meeting.

Gallaudet College by II to 8. The mutes
failed to hit successfully either Of the

middies' runs came on punched hits. The
Navy lads secured a good lead In the
first inning. ODonnel, who started the

on balls and hit another batsman. Then
a couple Of hits and an error followed
and the middies got i've runners across
the plate. When a Navy victory looked

one or more innings.
The game was devoid Of any special
