Chip of the Old niook.
Richard Ellrins, son of Senator
Stephen II. Klkins, la described as a
chip of the old block. On January 1
he iiold his father a tract of coal land
in West Virginia and cleaned up $1!),
000 on the deal. A friend secured the
options for young Elldns and ho en
gineered the deal with his father.
Riithcr i I.iirnc Order.
The story that the kaiser will buy
tho Philippines Is Interesting even
though palpubly untrue. We paid
Spain $20,000,000 for tho islands and
we have since spont $:iOO,000,()00 upon
them. Just now the kaiser's budget
it allowing no surplus and it would bo
hard to figure out how ho could make
the deal without serious financial em
barrassment. Itniirovlnir tlm Ohio Notion.
With Senator Allison controlling
tho eenato appropriations commit
tee, Speaker Henderson autocrat o
tho house of representatives and Sec
retary Shaw in charge of the treas
ury department, the Iowa Idea should
out a noteworthy figure In contem
poraneous federal politics. The Ohio
notion of going after everything in
tight has been improved upon farther
west.
Just I.lko Common Folic.
Tho empress of Germany recently
called with two of her children on
the widow of the late pastor of the
children. They announced they would
remain to tea. Frnu Frommul apol
ogized that her servant was out,
whereat tho queen nuido tho tea, aft
er tho crown prineo had started tho
ilre, while young Oscar set the table
and cut the bread, and after it was
all over tho queen said: "1 haven't
had such a pleasant afternoon for
months."
Cnuuteil with Other Liuxurlcn.
There 1b said to be a "pickle fam
ine" impending, tho ploklo-produc-ing
orea of the United States having
Buffered from drought lost season,
rendering tho crop short. One might
as well speak of poverty in connec
tion with a serious falling off in tho
output of diamond mines as of fam
ine in connection with a shortago
iu tho pickle crop. There are homo
things in goneral supply and use
that peoplo can do without and still
not feel tho pangs of hunger or iho
sharp pinch of cold.
Ijlitt'Ht Thiiiur I" AiiKlommilii.
Secretary Ilay's spelling of the word
"honor" us "honour" in the invitltlons
to his daughter's wedding excited
soma discussion. "Honour" Is the
English way; "honor" Is the Ameri
can way. A choice between tho two
spellings, however, can hardly be
made a test of a man's Americanism,
for a patriot of tlm very first diame
ter might take a fancy to "honour"
for literary or esthetic reasons.
"Honor," however, Is so thoroughly
Ainercaui.ed that Secretary Hay
should bewaro of tho British "n."
Itiiltrovumt'lit of the Coliimhlii,
The people of Oregon, Washington

St. Louis, Feb. 11. Established
precedents of tho United States army
wore overthrown ami the freedom of
200 men now confined In federal peni
tentiaries was assured by a decision
rendered by tho United States cir
cuit court of appeals Monday In tho
caso of Peter C. Doming, a former
captain of United Status volunteers,
against Hubert McClaughry, warden
of tho federal penitentiary at Fort
Leavenworth. Doming was impris
oned on sentence of a court-martial
composed of nine regular army of
ficers, convened by Clou. Shafter on
March 29, 1000. The opinion of tho
circuit court Is that the court-martial
which sentenced Doming acted in
violation of tho articles of war which
provide that otllcers of tho regular
army shall not be competent to Bit
on courts-martial for tho trial of of
ficers and soldiers of other forces.
Tho opinion establishes the fnct, that
tho volunteer army Is at nil times dis
tinct from tho regular army. Doming
will bo released from the Fort Leav
enworth penitentiary within CO days,
and all other former members of tho
volunteer army who aro confined in
federal prisons on sentences Inflicted
by courts-martial of regular ofllcera
will bo also liberated as the result of
the decision, it is stated.

Washington, Feb. 11. In continuing
his statement concerning conditions
In tho Philippine islands before tho
senate committee Monday Oov. Tuft
said that tho estimate for preliminary
expenses iu those Islands must' in
clude a considerable outlay for school
buildings. It was necessary, he said,
tp make salaries from 20 to 25 per
cent, higher than in tho United States.

that I would much prefer to pay mlno to

allowed a word pbrsonal I would say that
of my salary of $17,000 last year, I hud
only $1,600 left at tho end of tho year and
I am sure that If my illness had not

St. Louis purposely to stop this play.
"For 20 years I have been trying to
live down a reputation that-came to

"And now comes along this gang of
cheap players, who go upon tho stage
representing myself, my dead brother
Jesse, my old mother, who is now very
sick, and my step-father, Svho has
been an Invalid for years. In this
play tho whole James family is mado
to take part."
HE SAID "PLUTOCRAT."

Oroton, Mass., Feb. 11. The condi
tion of Theodore Hoosevclt, Jr., was
slightly less favorable Monday, but
not beyond what the doctors wero
looking for. The lung hitherto clear
was found by the doctors to be uf
fectcd by tho disease and the respira
tion and temperature wcru higher, but
the pulse- wan better. While the medi
cal attendants claim that the patient's
condition is not alarming, no attempt
is made to conceal the fact that tho
complication of tho second lung gives
the case a more serious aspect.
President and Mrs. Hoosevclt wore
with the sick boy all the forenoon.
Young Theodore asked for his father
early in tho day and seemed nnxlous
that ho should remain with him. A
special moKscngcr arrived from Wash
ington at 10:30, bringing documents
requiring the president's attention.
Secratnry Cortelyou snid that iu or
der that the young patient should
Have the benefit of the highest medi
cal skill, a prominent specialist iu
pulmonary diseases had been asked to
come to Oroton.
This sudden and unfavorable turn
warned the president that tho most
ukillful medical treatment was neces
sary, and so last night he called to
the aid of Drs. Shattuck and Warren
his family physician, Dr. Alexander
Lambert, of New York, an eminent
practitioner and a man well acquaint
ed with tho boy's physique.

Washington, Feb. 11. Tn the senate
Monday Mr. Turner (dein. Wash.)
made u vehement attack on the re
publican party's policy toward tho
Philippines, lie said: "The leaders
of tho republican party havo dis
honored the nation by their greed
for power and spoils. They havo
done so under the false and ' blas
phemous pretense that they were
sorving Almighty Ood by ndvnnclng
liberty and religion." He maintained
the leaders had deceived and deluded
the peoplo but he did not believe they
could continue It. "There will come
an awakening," said he, "and the doy
of awakening is not far distant. If
I did not believe so, I should despair
of my country."
He called upon his republican
friends to think what a tangled skein
they have Woven in the orient. "I
conjure you," he said, "to unravel that
skein while there is yet time. I con
jure you to do it not alone in the name
of the hopeless Filipinos who trusted
you and whose lands you have
drenched with blood, but I conjure
you in tho name of the American peo
plo and their posterity to stay your
, hand lest their precious liberties be
t destroyed along with that of the un
) fortunate people devoted by you to
! conquest and subjugation and spolia
tion."
