LIGHTS 'TROT
Well Illuminated Engineer Jug
gles Switches Just to See
What Happens.
NEW YORK Dec. 13.—After the
engineer on duty In the haffement of
’he building had insistently removed
the ‘'light” from the ‘Might fantastic”
Saturday night, dancer* in the Cafe
de Paris, Broadway and Forty-second
*treel, arrived at the conclusion that,
while that individual might have a
highly developed sense of humor, It
was about the only sense he had left.
Peter McDougal, of Brooklyn, suf
fered the divers levers and switches
In the engine room to twitch in time
to the music of the tango and trot.
Yesterday Magistrate Barlow, in
Yorkville Court, derided that Mo-
Dougal’s nerves needed rest and
quiet, and sent him to the work-
house for ten days.
While there were those among the
dancers who were not unduly dis
tressed by the unseemly behavior of
the lights, the matter annoyed the
management, so they hurriedly ob-
‘alned the services of another engi
neer But McDougal w’as in charge
of the engine room, he asserted, and
refused to relinquish his charge to
another.
Lights Go Out.
Waiters would he in the act of
handing a man change when the
building would become as black as
Egypt’s night By the time the lights
were turned on again the person who
had received the change usually had
forgotten all about the waiter.
Several perrons arrived in automo
biles. It required two elevators to
carry them to the dance floor. The
elevators started upward and then
came to a Jarring stop, the lights
fading simultaneously. When the
power was again turned on it took
two men in one of the elevator cars
several minutes to explain to their
women friends that they were not in
the habit of swearing.
Target for Selzer Water.
I^ater a man at one of the tables In
the dining room announced In loud
tones to a waiter, whom he sought In
vain, that he was not a highball glass
and that his shirt front was no tar
get for a stream of selzer water.
But the dance went gayly on. and
n some Instances the sudden transi
tion from brilliant illumination to in
tense darkness added to the pleasure
of the occasion.
"I didn’t Intend to do It." McDou
gal In court sRld to the Magistrate
1 was excited and got hold of the
wrong levers, that’s all. As a result
the electric lights were turned off and
ihe driving power df the elevators
was temporarily discontinued.”

.WASHINGTON. Doc. J 3. —While
the Filipinos may not he ready for
55c)f-government # it is only fair to say
that they have made remarkable
progress since the Americans Invaded
the Philippine Islands fifteen years
No longer do the Filipinos cook the
family meal in a single pot swung
oxer an open Are, no longer does the
entire family, Including dogs and
ether four-footed animals, eat from
.i common dish. Gone. aleo, are the
1 rimitlve beds that served their fore
fathers for uncounted generations,
and that they themselves found good
enough untli the American showed
them something better.
Little more than a savage before
the American occupation, to-day the
Filipino \h well on the way to civili
zation The change has been by evo
lution rather than by revolution.
Education a Problem.
The instructors found the physical
environment and previous social ex
perience had bred In the Filipino ra-
cia. characteristics vastly different
from our own and made of him a
unique educational problem
The Filipino was not especially in
terested in whether or not he re
ceived mental training, but he was
ambitious, cleverly imitative, and
keenly alert to the comforts of civi
lization, which he saw for the first
time when the Americans came and
conquered.
The flpst improvements began in
the homo among the women folk.
They took to shining pots and pans,
housecleaning and housekeeping, as a
duck takes to water.
Domestic science and vocational
training have become an integral part
of the educational system of the Phil
ippines. A half million Filipino young
people are voluntarily in school There
ir no compulsory education in the
Islands
Study Domestic Science.
A potent factor in making the Fili
pino into a useful member of society
has been the School of Household In
dustries in Manila. Here annually
fiom all the Islands of the groups of
y< ung Filipinos gather to be Instruct
ed domestic science and economy.
The course in housekeeping and
household arts, one of the most lm-
p< rtant and most widely studied of
the several courses offered by the
school, gives the young women a ba
sic education, three full years’ study
being devoted to reading, writing,
arithmetic and grammar.
In the homemaker’s course, the pu
pils study cooking, hygiene, home
sanitation, physiology and the care
of infants. A short course in nursing
is given, arid a full nurse’s course is
included among the vocational
courses.
Dressmaking, lacemaking, embroid
er.x, hatmaking and weaving are
among the several other branches in
cluded in the vocational school, and
optional in the homemaker’s course.
Ignorant of Sanitation.
Much as the Filipino needed educa
tion along all lines, in nothing was
he more deficient than in a knowl
edge of the first principles of sanita
tion When the Americans came,
the natives, even in the larger cities,
knew nothing of sanitation, house
hold or otherwise.
American tuition, however, has
taught the Filipino that sanitation
lessens the danger of plagues, which,
n: Intervals, from time immemorial
had mowed down the native popula
tion.
'Phis readiness on the part of the
Filipinos was an absolute requisite 10
the success of the work of the teach
ers Had the American successor to
the Spanish ruler undertaken to bring
about the changes by force the work
would have been a sanguinary fail

Gold Seekers in Hovels Melancholy
in Winter—Have Little Mercy
for Indians.
NEW YORK, Dec. 13.—The wan-
ton extermination of Indians in
Alaska is a crime, according to the
Rev. Hudson Stuck, Archdeacon of
Yukon, who is devoting his life to
ministering to the natives of the Far
North.
On las* June he reached the top of
Mount McKinley and discredited the
claims made by Dr. Frederick A.
Cook.
Dr. Stuck is Archdeacon of the
Episcopal Church In Alaska under
Bishop P. I^. Rowe. For eight years
he has been preaching in the Valley
of the Yukon. This exploring mis
sionary reaches many camps where
no other minister of the Gospel has
ever set foot. Annually he distributes
tons of periodicals in the homes of
the miners, who receive no minted
matter except from this source.
His chief aim is to Christianize the
Indians, who, he says, have been
shamefully neglected by the Govern
ment. He Is seeking to raise funds
for a hospital.
Invades Mining C»mps.
During the winter months he in
vades the mining camps and travels
thousands of miles with dogs. When
the Ice and snow has melted he floats
down the streams to various points
and preaches the Gospel.
"There are thousands of men In
Alaska,” said he, "on the verge of in
sanity through isolation and disap
pointment. They are housed in hov
els. hoping against hope, for gold.
"Their dull awakening from the
day dreams In which they have pic
tured fortunes and their solitary con
finement during the many days of
winter throw' these men Into a state
of temporary insanity. I call on these
men and give them magazines and
other reading matter and incidentally
preach Christianity.
Would Become Maniacs.
“My main work, of course, is with
the Indians. Many wish to see them
extern in at ed, Hht such a thought, is a
crime. The lives of many of the In
dians of Alaska have been wrecked by
white men from the States, and I do
not wish to refer to the miner.
“There has been a migratory in
flux from the Northwest of men of
the lowest type in the world, who are
looking for an easy living. They craze
the Indians with w'hisky and rob
them or their furs.
“These men are moral degenerates
and they have helped to spread dis
ease in this country.
“In 1900 half of the natives died
from the measles, and I am now try
ing to raise money enough to build
two hospitals on the Yukon River.”
Thomas’ Friends Sure

and refused to follow the trail farther,
the thieves having scattered pepper or
snuff on their track.
