THE MORNING CALL. Vol. X. No. 145- wbbbsdksbd to ohs The American Flag Bailed Over the Island of Negros Manila, Feb 22—While the guns on the city walls and those on board the ships of Rear Admiral Dewey’s fleet in the bay fired a salute in honor of Washington’s birthday, four com missioners from the island of Negros had an interview with Major General Otis and informed him that the Amer ican flag had already been raised over that island, and that its inhabitants were ready, anxious and willing to accept any pioposition the Americans might offer. The it .-'irg' nts have been driven from the island entirely. Although the Iloilo reb Is have given the people of Negros much trouble, especially in the matter of financial assistance, demanded by the rebel leaders, the inhabitants of Ne gros have persistently held aloof, and now, through the commissioners an nounced that they wanted the advice and help of General Otis. The lat ter assured them that the Ameticans would provide an acceptable gov ernment, and in the meantime he in structed them not to pay the rebels anything. The Negro commissioners were delighted with their reception. The United States cruiser Charleston is coaling here, preparatory to start ing on a cruise. The United States gunboat Ben nington arrived here today from the island of Guam. The United States transport St. Paul has arrived here from Iloilo, but Bae did not bring any news of import tance. Roosevelt and the Policemen- It will be remembered that a great deal of laughing was done at Gov Roosevelt’s expense, when, as police commissioner, be included in his test for candidates desiring appointment to “the force” an examination on geography and United States history, says the New York Mail and Express. The smiles which this occasioned were recalled by the Governor while be was discussing civil service in the execu tive chamber the other day. He said a good many people could never un derstand what use there was in people quizzing a candidate for appointment as a policeman on geography or Unit ed States history. He explained that it was not to find out what the candi date knew of these things, but rather to learn what he didn’t know, that the much ridiculed question was asked. As a sample of one of the questions the governor cited the following : “Name the New England states ” One of the written answers received was as follows: “England, Ireland, Scotland Wales and Cork.” Another man substituted Belfast for Cork, and still another included Africa. The candidates were asked to tell what they knew about Abraham Lin coln. One man wrote that Abraham Lincoln was a brave “ginral” and “fit” the battle of Bunker Hili. Another man wrote that Lincoln was a good man, but he was killed by Thomas Jefferson. Several identified Lincoln as the leader of the Southern Confed eracy, and several more had him killed by either Quito, Garfield or Jefferson Davis. After telling these stories the Gov ernor paused. It’s a long time since his breath was first taken away by the answers above, but even to this day he gasps when contemplating them. What then is the conclusion that the governor draws? Simply this, that any man who can make such answers is not sufficiently intelligent to be a good New York city “cop ” The Sure La Grippe Cure.

The Detroit Ordered to Proceed There at Once-News From Otis. Washington, Feb. 22 —Orders were sent today to Commander Dayton, of the cruiser Detroit, now at New Or leans, to proceed to Bluefields, Nica ragua. This action follows the protest to the government of Nicaragua against inte.ference with the delivery of messages from the navy department to Commander Simons, of the gunboat Marietta, now at Bluefields. The dis patch of another war vessel is signifi cant of the administration’s determin ation to brook no sharp prac tices which, it is supposed, are being indulged in, with regard to imperilled American interests in Nica ragua. Some one has been interfer ing with the department’s dispatches and as the Nicaragua government con trols the telegraph wires in that coun try, a protest was sent. Major General Otis sent very en couraging reports today about the He says that with 30,000 men be can completely garrison the principal ports in the Philippines and maintain order throughout the archipelago. A dispatch from Manila says: “The United States transport Newport has arrived here from Iloilo with dispatches from General Miller to Otis. He re ports all quiet at Iloilo. The American troops there are occupying the sub urbs, Jaro and Molo.

The Polygamous Wife- But if any Gentile woman will try to think how she would feel if her husband were to tell her that he is soon to bring into her home a second wife, to usurp her place in the family circle, share her husband’s affections, come between her and the man who had been her all in all for so many years, that woman will have arrived at a full, perfect, exact comprehension of what a Mormon wife suffers. And no religion, even if carried to fanati cism, can save her from this natural womanly grief. She hates and cures the whole system ; she hates herself and her husband ; she loathes the very sound of the word polygamy; she dis trusts every woman that she sees her husband talking to; she would like to purge herself, body and soul from the taint of the very air of a spot of earth that grows such noxious poison. While the second wife reigns—that is .to say until the husband , takes a third—no real love exists between the first and the recond.and seldom much pretense. But when the third comes on the scene, the sisterhood of a mutual grief not infrequently draws these two deserted women together in a real bond of love. They then combine their efforts to secure a fourth wife for their mutual husband, so giving the third a taste of the medicine that each of them has been obliged in turn to swallow By this time the matter of taking wives comes to be a sort oi a busir 6'B ventu-e with the husband, —Ruth Everett in the Arena.

LIFE IN SIBERIA Hardens the Tourist and Strengthens His Health. The five year* that I spent in Sibe ria were for me a great education in life and human character. I was brought into contact with men of all descriptions ; the best and the worst; those who stood at the top of society and those who vegetated at the very bottom—the tramps and the so-called incorrigible criminals I had ample opportunities to watch the ways and habits of the peasants in their daily life, and still more opportunities to appreciate how li tie the state admin istration could give to them though it was animated by the very best inten tions Finally, my extensive journeys, during which I traveled over 50,000 miles in carte, on board stemers in boat* and especially on horseback, had a wonderful effect in strengthening my health. They also taught me bow little man really needs as s >on as he comes out of the enchanted circle of conventional civilization.

HOVAI BAKIKO POWOCR CO-, NtW VOW, Matches. The man who was old enough to know better was chasing up and down a Sixteenth street boarding house, try ing to find a match to light a cigarette with. “Did it ever occur to you,” he said to she num who finally found a light for him, ‘‘what a boon and :» benison the cigarette manufacturer has been to the match manufacturer? Think of it a moment. First, however, give me an other match for this cigarette. J don't know how many cigarettes are made in this country, but let us, for the sake of argument, say there are a thousand carloads a year. Welt, it takes on an average—another light, please—four matches to the cigarette, and the manu facturer of matches must therefore make 4,000 carloads of matches just to meet the cigarette demand. You may not think 4,000 carloads is a great quantity, but if you knew how hard it was to get one match when your cigar ette is out, you would think 4,000 car loads wasn’t a few if you had to go around begging them. I have never given serious study to the matter, but, looking at it casually, I should say the match manufacturers owe an inestima ble debt of gratitude to tho cigarette makers.”—Now York Stin.- Cash Versus Glory. An ordinary service to mankind is usually paid for at current rates in legal tender. An extraordinary service, not involving the element of heroism, is re warded by both legal tender and more or less fame. The highest of all services, rendered at the risk of life, is supposed to receive its full compensation in glory, unaccompanied by more sordid consid erations. If, however, the hero of the service last mentioned should not be contented with his meed of glory, but should demand more substantial reward, he may receive it indeed, but at a large discount from tho other (and in senti mental estimation more valuable) con sideration. Unlike tho butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker, who receive their quid pro quo without a thought of humiliation, either in their own minds or yours, the man who saves your life at the risk of his own is looked upon as almost if not quite disgracing himself by accepting your proffered pe cuniary reward, although he may, in fact, be in far sorer need than any one of tho worthy trio who simply contrib ute to your necessities or comforts.— Edward P. Jackson in North American Review.
