Slavery in the Islands.

After fifteen years OF American con-
troll, Dean Worcester, the one man who
has been member of every Philippine
commission since the original occupa-
ton, brings to light the existence of
slavery, and among the Christian tribes
at that. One moral of this is obvious.
Quezon and other native leaders pro-
Tossing themselves unaware of the exist
ence of slavery, would not be the men
to put it down, were they entrusted
with power. American rule must ac-
cordingly be continued.
There are other ways of looking at
such state of affairs. If the Ameri-
cans, with undisputed authority, do not
succeed better than this, it might be a
good plan for somebody else to try.
Practically speaking, the story can prob
ably be explained something like this:
The Filpinos, in common with all Asiat-
les, seem shockingly lacking in natural
affection for their daughters. This is
true in China, and only little
less so in our own archipelago. II is
wholly deplorable, but time and the adj
vance of civilization will have to cor
rect it. What Dean Worcester has real
ly discovered is the Asiatic point Of view
toward women, and il is very bad one

Cheese Advances in Price and Butter
Will Undoubtedly Go Up.

Boston, Aug. 27.--Another advance of
fye-e ighths Of one per cent. on all grades
of cheese, which was made yesterday,
indicates the firmness of the local dairy
market at the commencement of the
week. While yesterdays rise in prices
did not apply to butter, il is not inn
possible that another jump may be
chalked up in these figures before very
long. as the best grade of butter contin-
ues to be very scarce and local receipts
as a whole are averaging considerably
lower than those of year ago. Little
relief from the scarcity is expected until
the middle of September, when moderate

TWO $40 coUNTERFEITS.
Treasury Department on Trail of Two
Bank Note Publications..

Washington, Aug. 27.-Two counter.
felt $40 national bank notes have made
their appearance, and the secret service
force OF the government is on the trail
of the men who are thus seeking to in
crease the volume of paper currency.
One bill is accredited to the First Ma
tional bank of Chicago, and the other
purports to have been issued by the
Farmers and Merchants National bank
of Los Angeles.
The treasury department, in state
ment issued yesterday, said: "The fig
ures in the bank and treasury numbers
are poorly formed and out of alignment.
The lathe work is very good. The back
of the bills is a darker shade of green
than the genuine. The paper feels thick
and harsh" The bills, the secret serv-
ice officials say, are formed of two pieces
of paper, between which silk threads
are distributed. The officials add that
"if better printed these bills would be
very deceptive"

The Smart Set in Small Town.

In the August American Magazine
George Fitch, the Peoria humorist
writes an amusing piece entitled Home
burg's Two Four Hundredths." 1t is the
first of series of Homeburg's sketches.
Following is an extract:
"For a good many years, Mrs. vert
Payley, wife of the First National bank,
was our Smart Set, all by herself. There
was never any question of it. She adj
mitted il and we didn't take the trouble
to deny it. In way, she was regarded
as a public benefactor. Nobody else
cared to spend the money necessary to
be a Smart Set, and since Mrs. Payley
was willing to fight and be bled, so TO
speak, to give our town tone and inject
a little excitement into our prairie lives
now and then. we felt that the least we
could do was to regard her as a social
colossus.
"The Payleys were the only people in
Homeburo who had lunch at noon, and
as early as 1900 they ate it from the
bare table. She was the only woman in
Homeburg who could look in on an aft
ernoon gable of any kind for few
minutes and get away with it without
insulting the hostess. When she shook
hands with you you always grabbed in
the wrong place, no matter how much
thought you put into it, and while you
were resdjusting your sights and claw
ing for her fingers and perspiring with
she was getting a start on
YOU which kept you bashfully humble
as long as she was in sight. She was
real goods, Mrs. Payley was-not AFRO
CANT, but just naturally superior. She
ran the town, and everybody was com
Portable and content about it until the
Singers arrived.
"The Singers came from Cincinnati TO
cashier in the Farmers State bank: Mrs.
Singer was city bred and city heeled and
when she met Mrs. Vert Payley she
didn't even blink. She put out her hand
a little nor -nor'east of her chatelaine
watch, when Mrs. Payley put out her
hand SEINE four inches southwest by
south, and waited calmly for Mrs. Pay
lev to correct herself. There was an
awful moment of suspense, and when
Il became evident that the only way to
ret Mrs. Singers hand down to the earth
level would be to excavate beneath her
and change her foundations, Mrs, Pay
ev gave in and reached.

,hudder now when l think of the

SHARP BREAK IN
NEW HAVEN STOCK
Fall of Four Points To oo1a Brings 1t
To New Low Record Price
Due To Cut Dividend.

New York, Aug. 26.-iStocl of the New
York, New Haven g. Hartford railroad,
which has experienced decline within
the last year that has made. history in
Wall street broke badly again yesterday.
1t fell over four points, to 921a, once
more establishing a low record price.
Subsequently it rallied to 94H. The
stock in former years sold as high as
279, and its pronounced weakness with
in recent months foreshadowed the re-
duction which was made in the annual
dividend rate from 8 to per cent.
Weakness of the stock yesterday was
due to estimates of the earnings for
the last fiscal year, based on, such fig
ures as have appeared. These figures
indicated that the New Haven failed to
earn the dividends of TX per cent paid
in the last fiscal year, having operated
at deficit of more than S4,000,00O.

The Dreadful Tricks Mirror Plays on
a Fat Woman.

Grace Margaret Gould, the fashion edi-
| tor of the Womans Home Companion,
contributes an exceedingly entertaining
and sound article to the September num-
Der of that periodical. "The Deceitful
Mirror" shows how some women are so
intent on being stylish that the mirror
| is not OF the slightest use to them. Al
though they look into the mirror, they
do not see anything there except their
desires. In other words, they refuse
to believe the mirror. The following
is her account of how some fat women
regard the reflection of themselves III
the mirror:
Sometimes I think that the mirror
has special grudge against the roiy-
poly fat woman. She starts out with
every intention Of buying plain, sim
pie little dress, but the saleslady an
nounces that draperies are the correct
thing, that everyone is wearing the
draped skirt and why not she?
so she decides to, and of course it
is the fussiest of all the draped models,
but she gazes at herself in the mirror
with distinct joy. She knows it is the
style and the mirror tells her that she
is the style. Here again she only sees
what she wants to see.
"In reality, she is gazing at what
appears to be bundle of clothesa
movable. funny, stuffed out bundle, but
she doesn't see it. nor the fact that, she
looks shorter and fatter thar her worst
enemy could wish, and also as if she
could never take another natural step
in her life But she does She struts
out of the shop with little mincing steps
as if she really were the goddess of fash
ion herself"

HEARST POSSIBLE
RIVAL OF MITCHELL
May Enter the Mayoralty Race Against
the Present Executive and
Mccall.

New York, Aug. 27-The New York
mayoralty yesterday presented a badly
scrambled situation, with such possibil-
tiles as the entrance of William Ran
dolph Hearst into the race and the plac-
ing of Mayor Gaynor, Democrat, at the
head Of Republican ticket to oppose
Edward L. Mccall, the Tammany cam
didate, and John Purroy Mitchell, fu-
sionist.
Mitchell yesterday asserted that George
A. McAneny must be Endorsed for presi-
dent of the board of aldermen, and Will
liam A. Prendergast supported for comp
troller if he is to head the ticket. This
was in reply to the reputation of Me-
Aneny and Prendergast by Hearst.
There has been some dissatisfaction with
the selection of Mitchell among Repub-
licans in the fusion ranks from the start,
and with Gaynor certain to make the
race there is much talk among the in
surgents of placing him at the head OF
a Republican ticket.
