i ork lost, of now
he got rid of u dozen ladies' coats
that were two seasons old: "During
the early winter a year ago our
firm purchased a lot of jackets in
New York of a new cut that prom
ised' to be popular. They had no
particular name, and we simply ad
vertised them with the rest of our
coats and jackets as the latest style
and cheap at .fls. The coats, a dozen
in number, hung on the models in our
cloak department nil winter, and no
one paid any attention to them. It
was impossible for the saleswomen
to get any one interested enough in
them to even try one on, and as
spring opened, the manager came to
me and told me to advertise them
at ten dollars, and see if we could
not sell at least one or two. 1 ad
vertised them at ten dollars, and put
large placards on them, noting the
reduction. Still the coats remained
on the models, and in a week 1 re
duced them to eight dollars. This
met with no better success tlian"fhe
previous reduction, and J reduced
them to five dollars. When this
small price failed to bring a pur
chaser, the manager became disgust
ed, and laid the coats away until
fall. They were then advertised at
ten dollars, with the intention of
selling them at any price to get rid
of them. They hung in the cloak
room until the middle of winter,
and the firm was about giving up
hope of ever selling the coats, when
It occurred to me that what they
needed was a name. 1 thought that
'Trilby' would do, and advertised
them the following morning as 'the
new "Trilby" coat. The latest thing
out. All the rage in fashionable New
York sets. A big bargain at slß.' I
had not the slightest idea that they
would sell at this price, and made it
high so as to reduce and make the
cut look large. That name caught,
however, and inside of a week we
had sold all the coats, the firm mak
ing a larger profit than they had
even desired."
The father of the young lady most
concerned has just preferred charges

States army for
having broken an engagement of
marriage. It is probable that he
acted in ignorance of the precedent
set by the war department in a re
cent similar instance, when it was
ruled that no action could be taken
unless "unbecoming conduct" was al
leged. The instinctive feeling will
be, of course, that the girl was shab
bily treated; but is the instinct a
just one? Or, as the New York
"World asks, is it, like so many so
cial beliefs, a mere survival of times
when conditions were different?
Suppose that it young man who has
become engaged finds that he no
longer loves the woman lie hits won.
Is it fair to her to permit her togo
to the altar with him believing tnat
his affection has not altered? Has
he a right to risk her future happi
ness by imposing upon her a loveless
marriage? The romance-writers
have but one answer to such a ques
tion. The man must act a lie and
goto the altar like a hero unless
extricated by happy accident. But
is that solution fair to the woman
in the case? Js it one that a truly
self-respecting woman would accept?

While visiting Hartford, Conn., Fri
day, August 2~, President Hoosevelt
spoke in the evening at the Coliseum
to an assemblage of 5,000 people,
taking as his principal subject the
attitude of the administration to
wards the new insular possessions
and Cuba. The president was re
ceived with much enthusiasm and his
address was warmly applauded. In
substance he said:
"The events of the last few years have
forced the American republic to take n
larger position in the world than ever be
fore, and therefore more than ev. r In foro
to concern herself with questions of policy
which affect her Interests beyond her own
borders. An a people we now have duties
and opportunities in the tropic seas and
lards south of us as w« II as in those of the
farthest east. Ann much di per.d« upon the
way In which we mo t these dottles, the
way In which we take advantage of these
opportunities.
"From the days of Monroe, Clay nnd
the younger Adams, we as a people have
always looked with Interest upon the
West Indies and the Isthmus connecting
the two Americas, feeling that anything
happening in those regions must be
of concern to our welfare. There is now
ampler reason than ever before for this
feeling. The outcome of the Spanish
war put us in possession of Porto Rico
and brought us into peculiarly close
touch with Cuba, while th«* successful
negotiation of the Hay-Pauncefoto
treaty at last eleai <1 the way for the
construction of the isthmian canal. Por
to Rico, it is a pleasure to say. may now
serve as an example of the best methods
of administering our insural possessions.
Conditions in Porto Itieo.
"So excellent have been the effects of
otir administration and legislation con
cerning this island that their very excel
lence has resulted in their being almost
forgotten by those at home. There is
hardly a ripple of failure on the stream
of our success and so. as is apt to be
our way, we do not think of It at all.
Yet it is well worth while to think of it,
and It is pleasant to learn by an experi
ence which teaches us what to follow
instead of what to avoid. First and
foremost in Porto Rico, we have con
sistently striven to get the very best
men to administer the affairs of the
Island. It Is desirable throughout our
public service to secure a high standard
of efficiency and integrity. But after
all, here at home we always have in
our own hands the remedy for any fail
ure to provide such qualities. In a far
off island things are different. There
wrongdoing is more easy, and those who
suffer from It arc more helplpess; while
there is less efficient cheek in the way
of that public opinion to which public
men are sensitive. In consequence, the
administration of those islands Is, be
yond all other kinds of administration in
our country, the one in which the high
est standard must be demanded. In
making appointments to the insular serv
ice, it is necessary to disregard any
question of mere party expediency, and
to look at the matter solely from the
standpoint of the honor of our own nation
ar.di of the welfare of the island itself.
This has been the standpoint adhered to
in selecting the men who represent our
government in I'orto Rico—governor,
treasurer, attorney general, judges, su
perintendent of education—every one.
In consequence, all Americans should
feel a real pride in the way in which
their compatriots who are responsible
lor the government of the Island have
administered it. Moreover, in shaping
the government of the island we have
acted with good sense .as well as with
good faith. We have not been fright
ened or mislead into giving the people of
the island a form of government un
suitable to them; and while providing
that they should govern themselves so
far as possible, we have not hesitated in
their own interest to keep the power of
shaping their destiny.
The Cuban Problem,
"In Cuba the problem was larger, more
complicated and more difficult. Here,
again, we kept our promise absolutely.
After having delivered the island from its
oppressors, we refused to turn it loose
offhand with the certainty that it would
sink into chaos and savagery. For ovvr
three years we administered it on a plar.e
higher than it hati ever reached during the
four centuries since the Spaniards lirst
landed upon Its shore. We brought moral
and physical cleanliness into the govern
ment. We stamped out yellow fevt-r—in
itself an Inestimable service both to the
Cuban people anu to the people of our owr.
southern states. We established a school
system. We made life ar.d property secure,
so that industry could again begin to
thrive. Then, when we had laid deep and
broad the foundations- upon which civil
liberty and national independence must
rest, we turned the island over to the hands
of those whom the people had chos< n as
the founders of the new republic. It is a
r> public with which our own great republic
must ever be closely kr.it by the tii s- of
common interests andi common aspira
tions.
Must Have Krciiirneity.
"Cuba must always be peculiarly re
lated! to us In international politics. She
must in International .iffairs be to a degree
a part of our political system. In riturn,
she must have peculiar relations with us
economically. Sin must be, In a sense, pat t
of our economic system. We expect h< r
to accept a political attitude toward us
which we think wisest both for her and
us In return, we must be prepared to
put her In an economic position as regards
our tariff system which will give her some
nu asure of the prosperity which we enjoy.
We cai t'lt. in my judgment, avoid i ikli g
this attitude if w< ar. to persevere in the
course which we have outlined fur our
selves as a nation during the past four
yisirs; and, therefore, I believe lhat it is
only a matter of time—and, I trust, only a
tnatti ruf a very short time— bt fore we en
ter into reciprocal trade relations with
Cuba.
The Istliuiinii Cniinl.
"The isthmian canal represents what
is probably to be the greatest engineer
ing feat—the greatest feat of the kind—
ot tiie twentieth century. Itefore we
start upon the construction of the canal
certain questions of detail and of our re
lations with the people owning the soil
have to be settled. When this has been
done, the first question will come upon
choosing the commission which Is to su
pervise the building of the canal. Here,
again, we have to ileal with an enter
prise so vast and so far reaching in its
efi'i'ds that but one thought is permis
sible—how to get the very best men in
tlx' nation, the men of the highest en
gineering and business and administra
tive skill, who will consent to under
take the work. If possible. I should like
to see these men represent different sec
tions and different polici al parlies. I'.ut
these questions are secondary. The pri
mary aim must be to get men who.
though able to contiol much greater
salaries than the nation is able to pay.
nevertheless possess till' patriotism and
the healthy ambition which will make
them willing t < put their talents at the
government's service.
The Philippines.
"So much for what has been done In
CAMERON COUNTY PRHTSS, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1902.
tho oee'-dent. In (he orient the labor was
more difficult.
"ft Is rare. Indeed, that a great work,
a work supremely worth doing, can ha
done save at the cost not only of labor
and toil, but of much puzv.lins worry
during the time of the performance.
Normally, the nation that achieves
greatness, like the individual who
achieves greatness, can do so only at the
cost of anxiety and bewilderment and
heart wearing effort. Timid people, peo
ple scant of faith and hope, and good
people who are not accustomed to the
roughness of the life of effort are al
most sure to be disheartened and dis
mayed by the work and the worry, and
overmuch cast down by the .shortcom
ings, actual or seeming, which in real
life always accompany the first stages
even of what eventually turn out to bo
the most brilliant victories.
"All this is true of what has happened
during the last four years in the Phil
ippine islands. The Spanish war itself
was an easy task, but it left us certain
other tasks which were much more dif
lieult. One of these tasks was that of
dealing with the Philippines. The easy
tiling to do—the thing which appealed
not only to lazy and selfish men but to
very many good men whose thought did
not drive them down to the root of
things—was to leave the islands. Had
we done this, a period of wild chaos
would have supervened and then some
stronger power would have stepped in
and seized the Islands and have taken
up the task which we in such a case
would have flinched from performing. A
less easy but infinite ly more absurd
course, would have been to leave the
islands ourselves and at the same time
to assert that we would not permit any
one else to interfere with them. This
particular course would have combined
all the possible disadvantages of every
other course which was advocated. it
would have placed us in a humiliating
position, because when the actual test
came it would have been quite out of
the. question for us, after somu striking
deed of savagery had occurred in the
islands to stand by and prevent the re
entry of civilization into them; while
the mere fact of our having threatened
thus to guarantee the local tyrants and
wrongdoers against outside interferences
by ourselves or others, would have put
a premium upon every species of tyranny
and anarchy within the islands.
Ylie Course Adopted.
"Finally, there was the course which
we adopted—not an easy course, or.e
fraught with danger and difficulty, as is
generally the cast in this world when some
great feat is to be accomplished as an in
cident to workli.g out r.ational destiny.
We made up our minds to stay in the is
lands—to put down violence—to establish
peace ar.u order—and then to Introduce a
just and wise civil rule, accompanied by
a measure of self-government which
should increase as rapidly as the islanders
showed themselves- lit for it. Well, it was
certainly a formidable task; but think of
the marvelously successful way in which
it has been accomplished.
"The first and vitally Important feat was
the establishment of the supremacy of the
American flag, and this- had to he done
by tiie effort of those gallant fellow-Amer
icans of ours to whom so great a debt Is
due—the officers and enlisted men of the
United States army, regulars and volun
teers alike. In a succession of campaigns,
carried on in unknown tropic jungles
against an elusive ar.d treacherous foe
vastly outnumbering them, under the most
adverse conditions of climate, weather and
country, our troops completely broke the
power of the insurgents, smashed' their
armies and harried the broken robberbands
into submission. In its latter stages, the
war against our rule sank into mere brig
andage; and what our troops had. to do
was to hunt down the parties of ladrones.
It was not a task which it was humanely
possible to accomplish In a month or a
year, but month by month, year by year,
with unwearied and patient resolution, our
army In the Philippines did the task which
it found ready to hand until the last vestige
of organized Insurrection was stamped
out.
"I do not refer to the Moros, with whom
we have exerclsi c the utmost forbearance,
but Who may force us to chastise them if
they* persist In attacking otir troops.
Among the Filipinos proper, however,
peace has come. Doubtless here ar.d there
sporadic outbreaks of brigandage will oc
cur from time to time, but organized war
fare against the American flag has ceased
and there is no reason to apprehend its re
currence. Our army in the islands have
been reduced until it is not a fourth of
what It was at th.. time when the outbreak
wag at its height.
Civil It ii lc Established.
"St< p by step ns the army conquered, the
rule of the military was supplanted by the
rule of the civil authorities—the soldier
was succeeded' by the civilian magistrate.
Theutmost care has been ex< rcised In choos
ing the best type of Americans for the high
civil positions, ar.d the actual work of ad
ministration has been done so far as pos
sible by native Filipino officials serving
ut dor these Americans. The success of the
effort has been wonderful.
Amnesty Ileclareil.
"It was, of course. Inevitable that
there should be occasional failures; but
it is astonishing how few these have
been. Here and there the civil govern
ment which had been established in a
given district had to be temporarily
withdrawn because of some outbreaks;
but at last, on the July 4th that has just
passed—on the one hundred and twenty
sixth anniversary of our independence
it was possible at the same time to de
clare amnesty throughout the islands
and definitely to establish civil rule ovi r
all of them excepting the country of the
Mohammedan -Vloros, where the condi
tions were wholly different. Kach in
habitant of the I'hlllppines is now guar
anteed his civil and religious rights, his
rights to life, personal liberty and the
pursuit of happiness, subject only to not
infringing on the rights of others. It is
worth noting that already the Philip
pine people have received a greater
share of self-government, that they havo
more to say as to how they shall be gov
erned. than Is the case with any people
in the orient which is under Kuropeau
rule.
Ili'lp.s Our Own People.
"Nor should it be forgotten that, while
we have thus acted in the inti rest of tho
islanders themselves, we have also
helped our own people. Our interests are
as great in the Pacific as in the At
lantic. The welfare of California, Ore
gon and Washington is as vital to the
nation as the welfare of New Kngland,
New York and the south Atlantic states.
The awakening of the orient means very
much to all the nations of Christendom,
commercially no less than politically;
and it would be shortsighted statesman
ship on our part to refuse to take the
necessary steps for securing a proper
share to our people of this commercial
future. The possession of the Philip
pines has helped us. as the securing of
the open door in China has helped us.
Already the government has taken the
necessary steps to provld- far the lay
ing of a Pacific cable; under conditions
which safeguard absolutely the interests
of the American public. Our commerce
with the east Is gowlng rapidly. Events
have abundantly justified, alike from tu
moral and material standpoint, all that
we have done in the far east as a - Je i
to our war with Spain."

How Far Tlicy Can t.o.
Washington, Vug. ,'io. —Acting Presi
dent Foulke, of thi* civil service com
mission, Juts addressed a communica
tion to all tin* executive departments
in regard to the part officeholders
may take in politics. \ttention is
called to; 111 order issued by Presi
dent Cleveland. .Inly It, ls'JS, contain
ing - the following:
"Tho influence of federal office
holders should not ho felt in tho
manipulation of political primary
meetings and nominating conven
tions. The use b,\ these officials of
their positions to compass their se
lection as delegates tei political con
ventions is indecent and unfair, and
proper regard for the proprieties and
requirements of official place will
also prevent their assuming the ac
tive conduct of political campaigns."
The communication states thnt this
order has never been repealed, hut
has been declared by President
Koosedent Roosevelt to be sfill in
force. In construing it, however,
there is a distinction, Mr. Foulke
says, to bo made between offleers and
employes who are in the classified
service and those who are not. The
letter states that those who are out
side the classified service are chosen
largely with reference to political
consideration and as a rule are and
expect to be changed with a change
of parties, but in the classified serv
ice the choice is made without re
gard to political consideration and
tenure of office is unaffected by the
change of part ies.
In consideration of this, flu* com
munication says, the man in tho
classified service, while retaining his
right to vote as he pleases and to
express privately his opinion on ail
political subjects, should not take an
active part in political management
or in political campaigns, for the
same reason that a judge or an army
officer is debarred from taking such
a part.
In regard to those who are not in
It.he classified service, the communica
tion say« the limitations are not so
strict, hut oven in this case office
holders must not use their offices to
control political movements, or eo
eree the political actions of em
ployes. They must not neglect their
public duties and must not cause pub
lic scandal by their activities.

Another stop toward putting coast
defenses in an efficient condition will
be taken in a few days. Gen. VV. E.
Randolph, chief of artillery of the
army, who was president of tho
board which recently attempted to
examine the gun carriages at coast
forts, has made a recommendation
which he believes will have practical
results, lie has suggested that an
order he issued from the war depart
ment to the effect that all command
ers at forts he required to keep the
gun mechanism in good order and to
have the officers and men constantly
in training.
To do this lie has urged that ho he
allowed to designate the periods of
target practice with great guns at
various forts. He proposes that not
more than one day's notice will he
given when such target practice will
commence. Gen. Kandolph says that
this will serve to keep the forts in
an ellicient condition. l'ost com
manders will not care to run the risk
of being caught with their guns out
of order and their men out of train
ing. lie believes that 24 hours' no
tice is suflicient if post commanders
do their duty.
Under the prospects of being called
upon on such short notice to do im
portant work, which will demon
strate the efficiency of a post fort,
the commanding officers will be com
pelled to maintain a state of readi
ness. If such a system prevailed,
Gen. Randolph has pointed out to the
departmental authorities that it
would not be possible for a board of
inspectors to visit a coast fort and
•find the mechanism displaced, and, as
was the ease at one post, some of the
tools necessary in the operation of
the guns lost beyond recovery short
of many hours' search.
This evidence of carelessness has
been impressed upon the official ob
servers recently, and they are deter
mined that some energetic measures
shall bo introduced so as to keep the
coast fortifications iu a state of effi
ciency. They insist that tho guns
should bo ready on the shortest no
tice or the function of the coast furt
will be lacking.

Unless a sudden drought descends
on this region there will be no hegira
of hay fever sufferers from Illinois
this summer. The continued wet
weather, which has been an annoy
ance to many people, will turn out a
benefactor to hosts of others, ac
cording to the opinion of physicians,
who predict that the heavy rains will
act as an effectual preventive of the
annual hay fever attacks, says the
Galesburg (III.) Evening Mail.
This condition of affairs will have
its effect on hotel keepers at the
northern lake resorts. Every Au
gust thousands of unfortunate vic
tims of hay fever seek relief in the
woods, where they can find company
for their misery, and escape the com
incuts oii thf.*? personal appearance
which heartless immunes take every
opportunity to make. Several hun
dreds of the victims who throng the
small lake and beach resorts of up
per Michigan each year go from Chi
cago. Most of the others make the
journey northward by way of Chi
cago, and the steamship companies
reap a rich harvest all during Au
gust from the increased amount of
travel, for many of the best, places
of refuge are inaccessible save by
boats.
Heavy beating rainstorms drive the

deformities and asthmatic tendencies
will bring on the dread affliction to
many people but tho majority of the
annual victims are destined to escape
unless it stops raining.
Antitoxin Cure* Lix'lijaiv.
Physicians connected with Harlem
hospital New York, have announced
the recovery from lockjaw and dis
charge from that institution of Jo- j
seph, a son of "Silent Mike" Tiernan, i
who was for many years a member ,
of the New York baseball team. On |
the Fourth of July he shot himself j
in the hand with a blank cartridge.
He was taken to the hospital. Lock- ■
jaw was developed, and it was docid- j
ed to inject antitoxin into the spinal
cord, and not. into the brain, as in
previous eases. The injections were
made between the first ami second
