THE WASHINGTON LETTER.
(F"om Our Regular Correspondent.)
Washington. I). C. April 8, 1901.
Gen MaeArthur continues to send
Rood news from the Philippines.
The surrender of the armed Filipinos
is practically a continuous perform
ance, and no fighting at nil is going
on. This is so gratifying to Presi
dent Mc.KinJey Hint lie luis decided
tliHt the total strength of the regu
lar army shall only he enlisted np to
three-quarters of the one hundred
thousand men authorized by Con
gress, unless Inter advices from
tin. MaeArthur shall make it plnin
that ft larger number will be neces
sary. It can he stated on the high
est authority that Agninaldo will nit
be allowed to come lo the U. S. as
long as he is considered a consider,
ed a prisoner, and how long he will
be considered a M-ioncr will de pend
upon how he conducts himself, and
upon bow those who have been his
followers conduct themselves In
other words, he and the other Fili
pinos who have been in revolt
vgainat ti e U. 8., must live, up to
the oath of nllngianne th v have
taken to the U. 8., before thev are
entirely freed from Hiirvoillaneo
Now that things are getting in a
satisfactory condition in the island
this government is fully determined
that neither Agninnldo cr anyone,
else shall tie given an opportunity
to undo the good work that has
been done. Among the numerous
suggestions, some humorous and
some serious, made to the War De.
partition t, as to tba disposition of
Agninaldo, is the following, from a
prominent official : '-Have his name
changed by law to George Ynshtng
ton Aguinaldo, then set aside 50
square miles of unoocunied govern
inont land as a territory, and make
O. W. Agninaldo Its governor, on
condition that ex-Governor Bout
well, Edward Atkinson, Ervintr
Winslow and other anti-imperialist
leaders shall tako up quarter sec
tions there. Then leave them alone
to work out their ideas of govern
ment, and the rest of thfl American
people will find out. how the thing
ought to be done."
Governor Allen, of Porto Rioo,
will not resign. That was settled at
a White House conference, a few
hours after bis arrival in Washing
ton. He has done so we'l in Porto
Ric that President MeKinloy ask
ed him to withhold his r signntion
for a time, and he consented to do
so, and afcer a visit to his old nome,
in Massachusetts, he will return to
the island. Speaking of the island.
Gov. Allen said: "Affairs are mov
ing smoothly in Porto Rico. The
condition of the island is much im
proved and in my opinion is now
better than it ever was before. A
civil government, hns been establish
ed in all its branches and is operat
ing smoothly. The island has not
cost the people of the V. H. a cent,
and will soon be raising it own rev
enue by internal taxation. The
revenues of the island, since the
pa sun go of the Fornker act by the U.
8. Oongress, have hern produced hy
the customs duties levied by that
net. Next March the law willexpire
and the money will come from
modes of taxation to be prescribed
by the local legislature. By that
time the island will bo ready to ao
xpt the cbolishuient of the ens.
toms duties and free trade between
the U. S. and Porto Rico wHl prol,
ably follow."
Hon. Philander Chase Knox, the
new Attorney General, who wtfl at
once assume his duties, will be the
eighth Pennsylvanian to bold that
port folio in the Cabinet. Mr. Knox
and President McKinley are old
friends In fact, it was on the ad
vice of Mr. McKinley that Mr. Knox
became it lawyer. His stat ding at
home is plainly told by his being
President of the famous Duquenite
Club, of Pittsburg, and by hi hav
ing served a term as President of
the Pennsylvania Bar Association.
Mr. Knox is in the prime of life,
lie will celebrate his 48th birthday
next month. His fitnens to be At
torney General is not questioned hy
anyone. Th only thing said
aaiiiHt bim is what would Imj said
against moat of the suooossful law
yers of the country, under similar
oirouuisUiiiutMi that lit lias had
rich corporations for clients which
shows the wisdom of the President 's
choice, an rich corporations employ
only the best lawyers.

Tiiis 'jives ample room for n half

diamond will lie laid out within the
trark. Bv this purchase the Asso.

property for its purposes. Its no.

surroundings and natural adaption
to the required uses make it an ideal
and eminently proper spot. It is
well watered by a living spring has

will make a shadv place where peo

These gronn Is open up possibilities

Infaat Clans Entertainment,
Infant class entertainment of the
Presbyterian Sunday School, under
the direction of Miss Iluldah Bull,

well executed entertainment lust Sat
urday afternoon. The children ap
preciated the effort and each one
performed the" part assigned In a very
creditable manner showing careful
training ami entering into the spirit
of the oeeassion with zest. Miss
Josephine Lyon and Master Bn rent-,

were present nnd add id greatly to
the interest by their very attractive

THE OPPONENTS
ELASTIC YARDSTICK.
Opponent of c.ial itffrtige bnve
made a wonderful invention an elas
tic yard stick. By a Judicious use of
it, they proKise to prevent women
from voting. Whenever any wo
man does an unwise thing, they
charge It against the whole body of
women, ami gravely affirm that all
women are unfit to vote A few days
ago some of the Daughters of the
American Revolution, in a contested
election, lost their tem)er and got
into a verbal scrimmage, which was
telegraphed from Maine to Mexico as
an evidence of women's unfitness for
self-government. The Boston Daily
Herald, with owl-like gravity, In a
leading editorial, contended that:
"The Washington action docs not
render It probable thnt women with
full suffrage rights would be a suc
cess in public affairs, since if women
are to have the suffrage all women
must be admitted to it. The misbe
having Washington women must
come In as well as the more properly
cotiduetingjjwonian suffragists."
Yet, the same day, the Herald re
corded the fact that a number of Irish
members of Parliament refused to
oliey the authority of the Speaker,
and had to be forcibly removed by a
squad of policemen. Whereuion the
Herald remarks that:
"The rumpus nmy be taken as
proof that the Irish factions are even
more thoroughly united than was
supposed, are starting out to follow
the tactics laid down by their great
Parliamentary leader, Parncll."
Here Is the elastic yardstick applied
respectively to the Irishmen and the
women.. The Herald does not pro
pose to disfranchise all Irishmen,
That very day the Herald chroni
cled an assult committed by Senator
J. H. Geiger, of Montana, upon A.
B. Keith:
"Ijst night the men met In the
lobby of the Senate chamber at the
closp f the extra session. Geiger
rushed at Keith, who struck him a
heavy blow on the forehead with a
loaded cane. The Senator was stun
ned. Before he recovered Keith had
walked away. Senator Geiger is now
searching for Keith with a revolver,
having threatened to kill him on
sight. A shooting affair is regarded
ns certain when they meet."
But the editor does not suggest the
disfranchisement of all the men of
Montana; not even of the Montana
Senator. Again the elastic yardstick.
Five days before, "a fierce fisticuff
fight" was chronicled between the
German and Czech deputies In the
Austrian Reichrath. But nobody
suggests that all Germans and Czechs
should be torever disfranchise!.
Mrs. Nation enforces Kansas law
by smashing illegal saloons. She is
cited as an awful example of "women
in politics." But no has promised to
disfranchise the illegal liquor dealers,
or the county officials who refuse to
enforce the laws of Kansas. It is
another case of the elastic yardstick,
always used to the disadvantage of
women. IIenky B. Bi.ackwelu'

SOME SPRING GREENS.
Spinach may ho found in market
nil the year around, ex ept when it
is extremely cold. Then there" s
danger of the plants freezing when
the boards that cover them are lift
ed, nnd gardeners dislike to disturb
them. The acid sorrel which is
raised by the French market gard
eners is cooked ns a pot green. Ir is
also in market the year round.
The wholesoinenes of such green
food in the winter and early spring
cannot be dwelt on too strongly.
Fresh green vegetables nnd acids
are necessary to tho health at. this
season, and the intelligent house
keeper recognizes the fact on her
bill of fare. Salads with green
leaves, acids nnd oil nre the best of
spring tonics. Spring dandelion,
when cooked like spinach, isanotbor
tonic better than medicine for re
viving the sinking strength nndgiv
ing "health and courage." Even
animals that are usually ment ent
ers, like the cat and the dog, crop
tho green verdure of spring.
It i a great mistake to overcook
the pot greens of early spring.
Spinach, soriel, even dandelion, does
no,-, require, as the old lady express,
e l it, to have the' "ven a judgment
cooked out of it." Old fashioned
housekeepers usually overcooked
their greens, as they did many of
their dishes.
Spinach should be boiled just fif
teen minutes.
1) indelion should bo boiled twenty
minutes.
Cowsliu greens should bn boiled
fifteen minutes. Wild greens, g'jn
ernlly twenty minutes.
Sorrel is cooked live minutes.
The firm, woody substance of all
theso greens Is tender before the
lenves are b oiled, but becomes hard
and spun y when boiled too long,
and it is almost impossible to make
them tender again by continued
boiling. They should bo boiled the
time given in our list, and then
shoppod and instantly coolel in cold
water to freshen and give them the
tenderness of a fresh leaf. When
wanted for the table, thoy shoul 1 all
be "ivnrmod np" in a little butteror
cream or stock, seasoned with salt
and pepper, and served very liot,
Clio French do not attempt to I oil
sorrel, for fenr of hardening the
stem nnd fibrous frnniework i f .the
leaf. They simply choij the fresn
leaves crisp and tender, season them
nnd heat them up in butter nntil
thoy a'ro.a tender ball, of pulp, to
which no water is added.
