Boston, Feb. 19.-An article by
Cardinal Gibbons of the Roman Cath
Ollie church appears in today's issue
of The Boston Transcript. In the ar
ticle Cardinal Gibbons says:
Il am irreyocably opposed to any
proposal that would commit this ma
ton to a scuttle policy in the Philip
pine Islands-today, tomorrow, or at
any fixed time in the future, and
say this wholly in the interest of the
social, material. and moral advance
ment of the people of the United
States, of whom | am proud to be a
fellow citizen, no less than to the
Filipinos themselves.
"ln my opinion the wisest step
would be for the President, in his
wisdom and discretion to select a
committee of discreet and observant,
patriotic citizens, to visit various
portions of the Islands. Thus would
they be enabled to form their judg-
ment upon observations made at first
hand as TO the time when the Fill
pinos may have the ability and edu-
cation to assume larger measure OF
self.government than this nation is
warranted by conditions today in
promising to them. To hold out a
promise TO them that we could not
keep would be no less dishonorable
than to shirk our obligation toward
them"

Couza came up against a national

Of the most pathetic of Greek folk

to appease its demon. In the version
translated by Mr.. ]. G. Lawson sixty
apprentices and forty-five craftsmen
have toiled for three years at the
bridge and every night their days
work falls in ruin. Then the demons
voice bids them sacrifice the master
craftsman's wife as she comes to sup
per. They induce her, with false
story of ring to be fished up, to let
herself be lowered, and her husband
himself hurls stone down upon her.
She prays that the bridge may ever
tremble and all who cross it fall as
now she trembles and her tresses fall;
but reminder that her brother may
some day cross it changes her prayer
to one that bridge and passengers
may be as iron-like as she now feels.

RIGHT TO PLACE IN HISTORY
Young German Discovered Error In
Constitution That Had Hitherto
Evaded All.

An error, so patent as to be termed
glaI :. has existed in the very first
sentence of the Constitution OF the
United States since its adoption, un-
detected, as far as can be ascertained.
by lawyers or rhetoricians. Strange
to say, the error was only exposed by
foreigner applying for citizenship,
whose ability to understand this foun-
dation stone of our government was
being called into judicial question.
A young German, who, five years
ago, had taken out his first papers,

judge as to his knowledge of the Con.

by immemorial custom, as follows:
Have you read the Constitution OF
the United States, and, if So do you
understand it?"
In this instance the young German,
to the astonishment of the examining
Judge, replied:
Yes, your honor, and I think the
men who wrote it did not know how
to write correct English. The very
first sentence is defective"
What do you mean?" queried the
judge, bewildered by this foreign at.

Marvellous Changes.
That block house still stands on San
Juan hill to show where the American
troops came up the ridge. The lane
through the woo Is is now a fine ma
cadamized road. But the wonderful
setting remains just as 1t was Is years
ago when Theodore Roosevelt rode up
the ridge at the head of the Rough
Riders. During these fifteen years
comparatively few Americans have
visited the scene Of our only recent
war. 1t has been difficult of access
Whensthe war broke out there was no
railroad within three hundred miles Of
Santiago. The line from Havana
stopped one-third of the way down the
island at Santa Clara. All the eastern
part Of Cuba had been devastated by
long years of revolution. Just after
the war Sir William Van Horne came
out of Canada and proceeded to open
up the eastern part of Cuba. BY 1902
the Cuba railroad was ready for traffic.
And now 1t is possible to go in "a
hours from Havana to Santiago in a
comfortable train with good sleeping
cars and observation cars, just like
limited train between New York and
Chicago. A few years have worked
marvellous changes in travelling condi-
tions.
This year traffic to Panama is heavy.
Instead of going direct from New York
to Jamaica and on to Panama, the
traveller should, If possible. 60 first to
Havana, from there through the heart
of Cuba to Santiago, thence TO ia
maica, and so on to Panama.
From Santiago to Kingston in ia
maica the journey is just nights run.
So that those who are going to see
Panama have no possible excuse for
not seeing Cuba first. They can ship
to Havana and proceed by rail to San
tiago, and then across to Kingston and
pick up their Panama steamer there.
And If the truth must be told the visit
to Cuba will be the best part of the
trip. Every year Cuba is being brought
a little nearer to us by Improvements
in the steamship and railroad services.

MADE YOUTH A SAILOR
GREAT MAN REMEMBERED HIS
PROMISE TO BOY.
Had Fought for Jackson" and the
President Redeemed Partial Prom
lse That He Had Made Some
Years Before.

The subject of Mr.. Stephen Bonsal's
stirring biography, Edward Fitzger-
aid Beale," was the son of Paymaster
George Beale, who served with distinc-
tion under Macdonough at Lake Cham
plain, and of Emily, the daughter Of
Commodore Truxtun of the famous
Constellation. Young Beale, as a
member of two naval families, there
fore, had what was regarded in the
old navy as prescriptive right to en-
ter the service.
With the advent of President Jack
son, all such rights were brushed
aside, and the claims of young Beale
might have been overlooked except
for a fortunate and characteristic ir-
cident.
The boys Of Washington, where the
Beales spent their winters, were ar
dent politicians, like their fathers. and
they were divided by allegiance to
antagonistic statesmen. The disputes
between the Adams partisans and the
Jacksonians grew 80 bitter than the
boys decided to settle all their politi-
cal differences once for all by the an
cient test Of battle.
Ned Beale was the Jacksonian
champion, and the Adamsites were
represented by boy named Evans,
who afterward became a distinguished
citizen of Indiana. The fistic battle
was appointed to take place under a
long arch, which at that time marked
the southern entrance to the White
House grounds.
While the battle ragged and the en-.
thusiastic spectators applauded, tall
figure suddenly appeared, scattered
the boys, and seizing Beale by the COL
lar, asked him why he was fighting.
He replied that he was fighting for
General Jackson, and that his oppo-
nent had expressed poor opinion Of
the presidents politics and person
atty
Il am General Jackson" said the
man. "I never forget the men or boys
who are willing to fight for me, but
do not wish them to do it all the time.
Now put on your coats"
A few years later, when Beale
reached his fourteenth year, his desire
to enter the navy became overwhelm.
ing. One afternoon he called at the
White House with his mother to see
General Jackson and ask for mid
shipman's warrant.
Mrs. Beale told her story, and spoke
OF the fact that her boy was the son
and grandson Of men who had served
their country and been wounded in
battle. Jackson listened with cour
tesy, but seemed uncertain how he
should act. Suddenly the boy inter
rupted his mother.
Mother he said, "let me speak t.
General Jackson"
He then reminded the president o.
the fight and the promise he hat
made, at least by implication to serve
him whenever the opportunity pre-
sented.
Without word, General Jackso,
tore off the back Of letter lying nea
him, and wrote to the secretary of tn,
navy, "Give this boy an immediate
warrant" and handed 1t to Mrs. Beale

CUT OUT THE H,YPHEN
NEW BATTLEcRY TAKEN UP BY
WRITING WORLD.
The Explanation Is That Enormous
Amount of Energy Is Wasted and
That Mark Is Not Really Of
Much Use.

There is enough energy wasted in
placing the little hyphen in the words
to-day" tonight" and Tomorrow"
every week day to haul a passenger
train around the world, according to
statistics that have been compiled by
those interested in the strictly mod.
ern movement toward higher efficien
cy.
1t is claimed there are 200,OOo,00d
English-writing people and that they
average to hypenate the words ito
day." tonight" and tomorrow"
three times day. That is, while
some may not average to do
this more than three times week,
and few, perhaps, not three times a
month, others write those words and
place the hyphens in them scores and
scores of times each day, especially
newspaper men, typewriters, authors
business men, school children and the
like.
The acquiring of sufficient power
from making these hyphens each day
TO propel passenger train around
the world is figured on the basis that
1t takes half an ounce of energy to
make the stroke-either with pen OF
pencil, and more for a typewriter
that represents the hyphen, and this
would total 2.19O,OOO pounds of ener
gy, or sufficient for the train.
1t takes an ounce of energy to
make the hyphen on a typewriting
machine and three ounces of energy
to make it on typesetting machine.
and the same statistician has figured
that typewriting and typesetting ma,
chimes alone take up sufficient energy
each day to propel battleship from
New York to the Panama Canal.
All these figures were not compiled
for amusement, but as an argument
against using the hyphen in these
words. Many people do not use the
hyphen. but 1t appears that the ma,
1ority do Those who are working to-
ward greater efficiency in everything
claim that the hyphen in these words
Is not at all necessary and should be
discontinued by everyone, saving a
great deal of valuable time and ener
gy.-Exchange.
