Miss Mary Proctor, the astronomer and lecturer, takes a deep interest in social settlement work in the big cities, and frequently gives her personal ser­ vices toward entertaining poor chil­ dren and adults. Generally her lec­ tures are very well received. Many of her audiences often manifest better at­ tention than those drawn froyi higher circles. Now and then there are ex­ ceptions. On one occasion a bright-eyed little boy, who sat in the'front row with his eyes fixed upon the speaker, was asked how he liked it. "I guess," he said, "it was pretty good, but she ought to talk about Uons and tigers. That's better for every­ body." At another lecture a youngster criti­ cised her as follows: "It's all very well to talk of weigh­ ing and measuring stars. There are some people, of course, who believe that sort of thing, but if she thinks she can fool us boys with such fairy tales she's very ®JttcM.sa!stakei3."-^Phlladel- phia Post. ftihebart't Indian Pictures. In the summer of 1898 the Government Indian "Bureau invited all tribes 0% In­ dians in this country to send delegates to an Indian congress, and they gathered from far and near with their pondes and tepees and gaudiest trappings in tie ex­ position grounds at Omaha. Never be­ fore had there been and never again will there be such a gathering. There were about five hundred of them, some partly civilised, but the greater portion pictur­ esque in original savagery. Strange as it may seem at this late day many of the Indians declared that before coming to Omaha they had no idea what multitudes of white men there were or how hopeless it was to try to stand against them. This was probably the last time that so com­ plete and spectacular a view of the North American Indian -will be possible, and those who had the privilege of witness­ ing it are to be counted fortunate. At the time of the Indian congress a promi­ nent photographer obtained permission to take the photographs of the most noted chiefs present and succeeded m obtain­ ing a collection which never will be equaled. Mr. Rinehart, the photogra­ pher, copyrighted all these pictures and p!aced in a few art stores some hand-col­ ored proofs which, notwithstanding their high price, sold at once, and these Indian! pictures have become the fad of the y?ar.j The Chicago Great Western Railway has succeeded at large expense in obtaining from Mr. Rinehart the privilege of repro­ ducing the best four of these pictures, Chiefs "Wolf Robe," "Louison," "Hoi- low Horn Bear" and "Hattie Tom," and have incorporated them in an art calen­ dar for 1900, which is pronounced the most artistic production yet attempted. The heads are 6x8 inches, one on sheet, wonderfully reproduced in all their orig­ inal colors, and when framed make most striking and effective pictures, particu­ larly suited for holiday gifts.

HHLPLHFL IIMII > ML ML JL|J IMIIMI >»IM * ' " Y. , . 'S : • BAISWABJUJSTTJDON REPORT OF THE PHILIPPINE COMMISSION. Maaibers Gaaninom in Declarlag that the United States Shonl^Beaiis is . the Philippines--Are Nor &eaily tor Belf-Geverment. The preliminary statement of the Phil­ ippine commission was handed to Presi­ dent Mclvinley Thursday. An unanim­ ity of opinion favoring die retention of the islands, the intimation being made that it will be a long time before the na­ tives can govern themselves, and that government of the Islands by the United States is the archipelago's only salvation, are the main features of the document. No advice, however, is given as to the proper course to pursue in the premises, and the statements made tend to lay all the blame on Aguinaldo for existing hos­ tilities. The historical events leading up to the rebellion of Aguinaldo against American authority are succinctly recorded, includ­ ing a statement of the grievances that led to the uprising of the natives against Spain in 18!)0 and the responsibility for the existing condition of hostility between the insurgents and the American forces is clearly placed on the shoulders of the rebel leader, whose aim is shown to be not the advancement of his fellow coun­ trymen, but solely the gratification of his personal ambitions. ' Iu the language of the commissioners, instead of being a pat­ riot, a great champion of freedom and a second George Washington, Aguinaldo is pictured as a miserable, shifting, tricky, treacherous, murderous upstart, whom Gen. Otis and other Americans would be unwilling to even associate with. One conclusion the commissioners reach relates to the capability ,of the Filipinos for self-government. According to their idea the people are not ready for it. The report of the commission makes it plain that aft no time could the abandonment of the position taken when the American flag was raised over Manila have been seriously considered as compatible with the honor of the United States or its duty to the va<t population of the arch­ ipelago placed in its hands by the treaty of Paris. The gist of the report specities the need for American occupancy and urges the'necessity for .maintaining the army. Among the more prominent suggestions embodied in the statement are references regarding the good couduct of the Ameri­ cans now there and the bright future for the islands under the domination of Spain's successor. Concluding it says: "Our control means to the inhabitants of the Philippines internal peace and order, a guarantee against foreign aggression and against the dismemberment of their country, commercial and industrial pros­ perity and as large a share of the affairs of government as they shall prove tit to take. When peace and prosperity shall have been established throughout the ar­ chipelago, when education shall have he- come general, then, in the language of a leading Filipino, his people will under our guidance, 'become more American than the Americans themselves.' " The report is signed by J. G. Schur- man, George' Dewey, Oharteo Deafer fcad Dean C. Worcester. / WOULD BRING ON WAR To Interfere by Force with Practice* Among the Sulus. . Prof. Schurman of the Philippine com­ mission says the treaty this Government made with the Sulu Sultan is the same in effect which the natives had with Spain. Before the United States troops stopped at Jolo, Prof. Schurman paid the Sul­ tan a visit and talked at great length with him. The Sultan is most anxious to be friendly with the Americans and he believes they mean to treat him and his people fairly. The religion of the natives is Mohammedan and tihey are both ignoraut and fanatical. Polygamy is a part of their religion and slavery in the shape of a sort of feudal bondage exists. The men on the islands are pow­ erful and strong and they are desperate fighters. They consider death, in the cause of religion, the easiest and surest way to heaven. Prof. Schurraau says if the United States tries to interfere with rights and customs in the Sulu islands it will provoke a long and bloody war. HERRON FORCED TO RESIGN.

It is reported by cable that England la willing to relinquish its rights in Sa­ moa to Germany if the latter will turn over to the British Government the Ger­ man portion of the Is'.and of New Gui­ nea. Next to Australia. New Guinea is the largest island in the world. It is six times as large England and is only separated from the Australian continent by a shallow strait, which is eighty miles wide in its p arrow est part. New Guinea is 1,500 miles long and from twenty to 480 miles in width. The island is divided into three parts, belonging respectively to Holland. Germany and Great Britain. The Dutch claim dates from 1848, when t!he sovereignty was proclaimed over the western half of the island. The remain­ der is almost equally divided between England and Germany, the division hav­ ing been made in 1884. Kaiser Wil- hehn's Land, which is the official name of the German territory, is under the control of the German New Guinea Company.

Becords for attendance are broken al­ most every night at McVk-ker's Chicago theater, where "The Great Ruby" con­ tinues its brilliant run. The success of this English melodrama is warranted by the splendid manner in which it is put on the stage by Manager Jacob Litt. The scenic investiture is as beautiful as any­ thing ever seen in Chicago, the company numbers among its members the very best people in the dramatic profession and the play is full of thrilling situations, comedy scenes and humorous characters. The grent care taken in alloting the parts j to capable people makes a performance j of even excellence and insures a well-bal- j an fed presentation. Cecil Raleigh and j Henry Hamilton, the authors of the play. ! are past masters in this line of writing j and have for years entertained the I<on ; don public annually with examples of their handicraft. Mr, Raleigh had a hand in preparing "Sporting Life," the melodrama which ran for three months last year at McVicker's Theater.

Collapse of a Chicago Warehouse De­ stroys Life and Property. The collapse of the six-story seed ware­ house at 1SD-141 West Lake street, Chi­ cago, Wednesday afternoon wrecked half a block of buildiugs and caused the loss or at least five lives. F. S. Hanson, own­ er of the New England mills, adjoining, was killed, aad three men are missing, and are supposed to have been crushed to death tinder the falling walls. An un­ known woman was seen standing in front of the seed warehouse just as the front walls fell iwto the street. She was heard to cry wut in terror, but before any one could get to the spot the wails of other buildings began falling, and the sidewalks and street became piled up with debris. To add to the disaster, the ruin6 caught fine and stopped any attempt to search for the bodies of the dead for several hours. The property loss will foot up over $200,- '000. Doaene of people had narrow es­ capes from death. Several were more or less injured by falling bricks and timber*. Probably fifty people were employed in and about 'the wrecked buildings and it is regarded as almost miraculous that more lives were not lost.
