BOUND TO CAMILLE.

The American sporting element IS
possessed OF an idea that Cuba will
prove a good field for future opera
tons. and in accordance with this idea
bill legalizing bullhghts in Havana
has been favorably reported by a
house committee OF the Cuban parlia-
ment. and is now awaiting further
action.
In addition to legalizing bullnghts.
the bill gives a company, the capital
OF which Is principally American. the
exclusive concession for thirty years
to operate a Monte Carlo on a tract OF
land near Camp Columbia. Of which
the attractions will be gambling
games. bullfghts. cockhghts. horse
races and other sports. The object
Of the bill. # is declared, is to attract
tourists to Havana.
The gambling fraternity Is also en-
deavoring TO gain n foothold IN Mex
leo. with some show Of success. for the
Mexicans. as a rule. are unable to
draw the line between right and
wrong with any degree OF accuracy.
The same is also true OF the Cubans
SO we seem to be reasonably certain
Of an American Monte Carlo IN one
or the otner country, possibly in both.

MARRIAGE AIDS LONGEVITY.

Mayor johnson Of Chester. Pa, falls
90 see where the joke comes IN when
q newly welded couple are given the
undivided attention OF their friends for
a time Immediately following their
wedding. The mayor believes the
marriage ceremony IS a solemn func-
ton. and should not be followed by
rioaid merriment at the expense Of the
young man and young woman who
have Joined '-- IS until death or the
divorce court doth part them
such matters should not be treat
ed lightly" said the mayor. as he
broke up the parade Of a bunch OF
young folks who were marching along
the streets OF Chester with a newly
welded pair at the head OF the pro-
cession. Then he issued an order for
the purpose Of preventing such occur
ronces IN future.
Perhaps the mayor Of Chester is

While upon this all-important sub

the figures Of DR. william II. Guilfoy,

IN q thousand died. There were l.
oso.o00 females. with a death rate Of
1545 per 1000. or lower than the
male death rate By almost SO per

In the same year there were $780,

death rate OF nearly 10 per 1000. and
$4,000 married women. OF whom

PRAYING FOR JOHNSON.

There's some class to the Negro
Holiness church at Hutchinson. Kan.
where the congregation, 1000 strong.
viii assemble Monday afternoon in a
big tent. sing religious songs and pray
for the success OF Jack Johnson in his
fight with Jim Jeffries
As an extra inducement TO insure
full attendance. the dispatches state
that arrangements have been made to
have the result of the fight bulletined
by rounds at the meeting.
That ought to catch the colored
portion OF the population OF Hutchin-
son. Unfortunately. however. II is go
ing to be difficult for the Holiness
church 20 secure the bulletins, since
all the news Of the big fight will come
through the press associations, the
telegraph companies being out OF the
field.
And this applies to salt Lake and
other cities, as well as Hutchinson,
Kan. The duslSy brothers and sisters
can meet. though. and pray for the
success Of Johnson to their hearts
content, but II they have no better
success than their white brothers and
sisters OF the Sunfower state. who
once upon a time prayed for rain, the
effort will hardly be worth while.
In view of the great interest taken
in the Reno affair. II may be stated
that Rev. Solomon. Seattle Hindu
has had a vision. in the course OF
which he saw johnson tanning the
daylights out OF his white antagonist
This vision" may not be worth any
mere than an election straw" which
does not always indicate the direction
Of the political wind. but the colored
folks will accept It with faith believ-
ing and place their bets accordingly.
One more day OF anxiety. prayer
debate and gossip, and the agony will
be over.

HOUSES FOR WORKINGMEN.

A building and savings association
Of Frankfort. Germany. has acquired
a plot OF ground I'm that city and Will
build six hundred small dwellings for
workingmen.
Excepting those OF only one room.
each dwelling will have a separate
bath room. A trial viii be made Of
Living kitchen" which Is 80 arranged
that the housewife will have a pleas
ant and healthy room for the per-
Torrance OF her homework and can at
the same time watch her children at
play. A public house with large gar
den and bowling alley Is also contem-
plated. The lowest rent for two rooms
Is s5.46 per month. and for four rooms
up TO s12.s4 and S14.SO. The other
rents viii vary between these prices
according to the size Of the rooms and
gardens. The cost OF the whole pro.
jet will be sf.O12,0O0.
In all civilized countries there is a
disposition manifested 10 better the
living conditions OF those who toll for
a living. OF course in the case Of the
building and savings association a
profit viii be derived, or IS expected 70

ings OF the workingmen and their fam
lilies will be made much more pleas
ant and the cost viii be moderate.
Perhaps the time viii come when

for the figures for single persons in
clude all ages.
But the apparent difference in the
death rate OF unmarried and married
women is by no means so great-less
than two per thousand. In fact SO.
while am not prepared to say that
married women are no healthier and
have no greater probability OF life
than unmarried ones. without going
more deeply into the question. there Is
not the same amount of evidence in
their favor as In the case Of married
men"
The conclusion appears TO be inevi-
table. for the men at least. that the
sooner they get married the better.
The figures Of DIT. Guilfoy are sup
ported by the assertion Of the famous
Dr. Jaques BertiIlon. that married
persons live longer than those who
trot along through life in single har-
ness.
That being the case. the young man
can afford to take a chance and run
the risk Of a charivari. which the
mayor OF Chester, Pa, 50 strongly
condemns.

EASY ROAD TO WEAITH.

A New York pushcart peddler was
recently arrested for giving short
weight 20 his customers. and when he
was arraigned in court for the purpose
OF being allowed to give ball, Il was
discovered that the old rascal was
worth $4,000.
The sun fails to see why anybody
should be surprised that a common.
ordinary pushcart peddler Ghould be
30 rich. since patience, industry, fru-
gaiity and very short weights are a
lucrative combination"
Short weights are the principal part
Of the combination Unhappily. push
cart peddlers are not the only persons
addicted 70 their use.

The board Of trustees. consisting OF
the postmaster general, the attorney

held their FIRST meeting Friday for the
purpose OF putting the postal savings
bank law into operation at the earliest
possible moment
IL will take some time % work out
the details but we are assured that IT
win not be long before the country Is
given a chance TO judge OK the merits
OF the act to which both parties were
pledged. and which the Republicans
wrote into the law.
There was some opposition on the
part Of the bankers 70 the passage Of
the pill. but they took no very decided
stand in the matter after the Presi-
dent sixuiaed his intention OF insist
ing upon its passage
The theory upon which the postal
savings bank system has been founded
IS that a great many poor people have
boarded funds which they have been
unwilling for various reasons to de-
p5sit In ordinary savings OF other
banks. and which, Il was believed.
banks with governmental backing
would draw out and enable depOsitors
70 receive interest for the same.
This theory Is borne out in part by
reason Of the fact that many persons.
chiefly foreigners. buy money orders
payable % themselves. and not only
NrrF
pay a small sum for the privilege OF
being absolutely certain that their
small savings cannot be lost
Durirg the debate on tho bill the
opinion was expressed that at least
500. O0C. 900 OF unbanked funds would
DO drawn from their hiding places and

sums as small as 81 and not to ex-
coed at any time $500 to the total
credit Of one person.
II is the belief o. the admlnistra-
tion and the authors Of the postal
savings bank bill that the system will
work Just as satisfactorily IN this
country as IN Europe, and there seems
20 be good reason for such belief.

REPUBLICAN CoNFTDENCE.

The Republican leaders in both
branches OF Congress departed from
the national capital conscious OF hav-
ing performed their duty during the
long and arduous session recently
brought to a close.
The laws demanded by the people
were passed. and proof OF the eHcien-
cy OF Republican leadership given.
The feeling OF the stalwart senators
and Representatives is portrayed by
the Washington correspondent Of the
New York Tribune in this manner:
The pleasure experienced at the white
house and BY the Presidents
closest friends Is quite equalled
az the capitol, where II Is felt
that the party has a real leader,
and that under the leadership
Of President Taft victory at the
fall elections Is assured In what
may be termed the transition
period. when the party was
getting used TO the change from
the leadership Of President
Roosevelt TO that OF President
Taft. there have been times when
some. at least. have felt they
lacked a leader.
The gentle methods OF the occupant
OF the White house seemed tame
after the exciting days OF the
recent past and there unques-
tiOnably was some misgiving as
70 the effectiveness OF the new
order.
But an that 10 changed. Time has
demonstrated that the new lead
erBhip Is as effective as was the
old. that the only difference IS
one Of method. that the highest
and most progressive Ideals of
the Republican party have as
able and as progressive an ex-
n to
day as they ever had. and that
all talk OF the party's relapsing
into the hands Of the reaction
aries has been as baseless and
as evanescent as the fulminations
OF an insurEent.
That the country has been quicker
TO recognize the facts than Wash
ingtOn is amply demonstrated by
the cordial Endorsements which
the Taft administration Is re-
ceiving from the state conven-
lions. notably Minnesota and
Pennsylvania. the one as pro-
gressive as the other is con-
servative.
The present house will appeal for re-
election on n record never be-
fore equalled for legislative
achievement. and with a con-
fidence born OF knowledge or
work well done. In a word, the
future never looked brighter to
all except the Democrats and a
few irreconcilable insurgents.
There never was any doubt among
the oid-time Republicans as to the
leadership Of President Taft. Pyro-
technics were not expected OF him.
and there were no explosions OF dem
onstrations OF that kind. In conjunc-
ton with the party leaders in both
branches OF Congress he directed the
framing Of the necessary laws and the
regular Republican senators and rep
resentatives did the rest
That the whole country Is coming
around TO that point OF view now that
the record is before them Is not sur
! prising, although very pleasing. All
Of these tried and true representative
and many OF the senators are seeking
reelection upon the record made. we
fail to see where the Democrats can
find just grounds for opposing them.

The Industries OF the religious con-
grcggtions are far from being the only
