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.” Delay in Dividend News To Be Stopped NEW YORK, Dec 13 To prevent repetition of delays in announcing tUvi- ! denda such as recently occurred In the 1 < ase of the B.

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 ure 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.

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.

"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 He Will Get P. 0.
