residence of A; Noble, and known to
many as being near the ‘fold mill” and
at the foot of the hill leading into New
Canaan, on what has been designated
as the Clabbert Hill road.

Every effort was made to save the

OUR PHILIPPINE POLICY.

 

I!
British Opinion Difi'el' as to the Construc
tion of Our Intentions.

London, Nov. 25,—The question of
the future tariff arrangements in the
Philippines attracts
est. but opinions differ diametrically
as to the’construction to be placed on
the intentions of the United States so
far as they have been indicated. .

Mr. Herbert Aisquith, formerly home
secretary, in a speech at Sunderland
yesterday expressed pleasure at the
announcement of the United States
that the door would be open to her
new Asiatic possessions. _

He, hailed the declaration as a fur-
ther step on the road that the United
States and ‘Great Britain had begun
to travel together. ,It was, he said, a
further Safeguard for the partnership
of the two peoples. ,

This view was loudly applauded and
was accorded a place in the papers
ahead of Secretary of State Hay’s
statement.

The Daily News, noting that opin—x

ion is divided in the United States
itself 'on the question, adds:

“The enthusiasm for American ex-
pansion will be considerably abated
if it means a proportionate extension
of theDinglethariff.” .

The Times, on the other hand, says:
“We have always been aware that
there were difficulties in the way or
the adoptfi‘on by the United States of
an ‘open door' policy in the Philip-
pines'as that policy is usually under~
stood in Great Britain, but we never

universal inte r--

doubted for an instant the sincerity’

of the United States government or its
ability to devise means of substanti-
ally securing the results aimed at. The
policy,.as explained by Secretary of
State Hay, is for all international pur-
poses the policy of the ‘open door.’
Equality of treatment and the absence
of differential duties are the essence
of that policy which would be secured
by the arrangements described by Mr.
Hay just as truly as under a purely
free trade system.”

 

Berlin, Nov. 25.——Certain critics of
the Anglo-American relations eagerly
contend that the English hopes for an
“open door" in the Philippines are
destined to disappointment.

They say that while the United
States will be cordially grateful to
the?
open door on the east Asiatic conti—
nent, reciprocity in this regard is the
last thing the shrewd Americans con-
template.

Home «to Die Spaniards’ Fate.

‘ Washington, D. 0., Nov. 25.—Advices
from Spain are to the effect that the
several thousand Spanish soldiers who
have returned from their campaign in
the Philippines and Cuba, and landed
at Cadiz and Barcelona are in a most
pitiful condition after terrible voy-
ages, in which many of their number
died and were buried at sea.

The soldiers complain that their
quarters and the care of the sick have
been most deplorable and that there
has been absolutely no medicine for
the sick. ' '

Those'who have landed after having
been held in quarantine are for the
most part physical wrecks, and if
mustered out of the service will be:
come public charges or beggars upon
the' streets. ,

As it is those who are still in the
Service have been suffering for" the
want of food and clothing, to say noth-
ing of medicines.

In many instances the rations have

'been cut down two-thirds, and even

then the food is almost unfit to eat.
Disease has gotten among them and
they are dying rapidly.

With thousands yet to return, the

indications are that the conditions will
grow worse instead of better. The sol-
diers would be inclined to revolt and
create riot and trouble were it not for
the fact that they are too weak from
want of proper nourishment.

The government has been appealed
to to aid the suffering soldiers, but for
lack of funds it is practically unable
to do so, and the soldiers are to a large
extent dependent 'upon public char—
ity.

Santiago‘s First Thanksgiving.

Santiago de Cuba, Nov. 25.——Thanks-
giving Day was observed here yester-
day for the first time in the three 'hun-
dred years’ history of the city. By
a. special proclamation issued by Gen—
eral Wood all business was suspended
at the palace, and on the streets and
wharves.

The employee of the municipality
had a vacation, and only absolutely
necessary work was done by the Am-
erican troops. The day was given over
to rest and enjoyment.

The American ships in the harbor
observed the day by displaying their
gayest flags. Many prominent Cubans
followed the example of the Americans
and little business was transacted by
anyone.

It was a novel Thanksgiving Day
for the Americans. The thermometer
registered ninety-five degrees in the
shade and there was 'no breeze stirring.
Several projected baseball and football
games were postponed on account of
the heat.

In the evening dinners and enter-
tainments were given by American 09f-
ficers and Cubans. The most impor-
tant dinner was given at the govern-
or's residence, ’where General and
Mrs. Wood entertained a. number of
department officers and several Amer-
ican civilians.

Few of the soldiers-were remember-
ed by their friends in ' the United
States. Turkeys were scarce, but
there were plenty of wild guinea fowl
and the troops fared well.

. 4,000, Troops Land.

Madrid, Nov. 25.—An official dis-
patch from Manila says that reinforce-
ments of American troops, numbering
four thousand men, have been landed
in the Philippines.

‘ manila News from Madrid.

says that the Americans have just
landed four thousand men in the arch-
lpelago and that two American war-
ships have gone to Iloilo.

Mme. Dreyfus Cables to Her Husband:

Paris, Ndv. 25.—Mme. Dreyfus, wife
of the prisoner of vail's island, has

. Take Life Quietly. ‘
The life of a. girl in this latter end of
the nineteenth century differs consider-
ably from her predecessors of a past
age. She enjoys a liberty, both social
and domestic, wholly undreamt ofv-by
her grandparents, while in a thousand

and one ways she possesses an advan- '

tage over even her mother’s genera-
tion.

But the alterations in girl life have
changed the home lifé too, and though
the first in many ways is a good thing,’
the latter is wholly to be deplored. The
charaCteristics of the day have bred
the fever of unrest, in the train 'of
which the demon of discontent has en-
tered into the hallowed confines of the
home, rendering it to the up-to-date
daughter a veritable prison. '

Hurryvand excitement are the domi-
nant features that characterize the girl
of‘the period; she never has time for
anything—little duties are forgotten,
little brothers and sisters overlooked,
while her mother is worried to death
by her nervous, irritable temper. She
cannot take life quietly, but rushes up
and down stairs as if pursued by a
legion of horrors, and knocks at the
door and pulls the bell with force
enough to rouse the road. Everything
belonging to her is chaotic, and her
memory is so treacherous that other
people are continually blamed for both
her omissions and commissions. In
short, she is simply a quivering bundle
of nerves, and will speedily develop in-
to a fretful woman, dreaded by society
at large, and a source of trial to those
belonging to her.

My dear girls, will you not take a
quiet time and think whether such is
likely to be your fate? Perhaps as yet
you cannot realize the necessity for
taking life quietly and easily, but, be-
lieve me, unless you do, the day will
surely come when you would willingly
sacrifice anything to secure a. “real
rest." You cannot have and be every-
thing, and all the rush and hurry in
the world will only hinder you from
achieving even the lowliest ambition.

Try and be quiet, set aside some on
those countless engagements that occu-
py such a large portion of your time,
and go into thenursery and study the
beauties of child-life; go into the

, kitchen and learn the ropes of domes-.
lticity and culinary art, to fit. you for

the sacred office of wife; and then,
when you emerge from girlhood ‘to
woman’s estate, you will be fitted to
guide the mechanism of a home of your
whom self is the supreme ruler of her
life and actions. He wants to come
home to the loving ministrations of a
pair of unselfish bands, who will have
his slippers warmed and a cosy chair
waiting in readiness for him, while her
ears are ever ready to listen to the
confidences of the day; and her lips,
though sealed as to her own domestic
worries, will utter loving, sympathizing
words to smooth away all the jarring
elements/of business.

Such is 'what every man expects to
find in “the one woman,” and the girl
who would fit herself for the position
of wife and mother, must escape from
the hurry and excitement of‘the‘ age,

and by taking things quietly, conquer -

and subjugate self.

 

New Long Cloaks.

The new long dust-cloaks and redln-
gotes—riding-coats being their original
name—are either elaborate or of useful
character. For instance, those of fig-
ured silk, lined with plain silk, repeat-
ing one of the colors on the patterned
fabric, and decorated with lace and rib-

.bon, are in one sense more for orna-

ment than use, though they serve to
protect the dress beneath. Oftener
than not the gown that is thus covered
is not designed for view, and is only an
excuse for wearing the over—garment,
which is, indeed, the piece de resistance
of the toilet. The more useful dust
cloaks of mohair or even of tussore, in
the peculiar creamy brown of the ma-
terial, trimmed with the popular cloak-
ing lace of the season, are pretty
enough to satisfy the most exacting;
and the surface of either of these mate-
rials ls eminently calculated to resist
dust. The autumn models are cut with
fitted princesse backs and semi-fitting
fronts, some of which fasten from
throat to skirt hem, others in true
redingote fashion, being open to show
a portion of the dress beneath.

Ha Ildy Steamer Bag.

A steamer bag which was much
appreciated by its recipient last sum-
mer is. simply a rather deep bag of art
denim provided with double shir-
strlngs. An embroidered scroll across
one side held its designation "For the
deck," and when received it held a lit-
tle Japanese hot-box with a bundle of
fuses, a late novel, and a tourist’s noto-
book. Hung on_ the corner of the
steamer~chair for the voyage over and
back, it Was invaluable as a catch-all
for eyeglasses, a newspaper, knitting-
work, or what not that otherwise
would be slipping about. Through
much jaunting_ashoro the same bag
continued its useful ofilces. So many
words over so simple a thing are per-
missible only to accentuate the fact
that it. is not the elaborate, many-
pocketed, ornamenta‘l, and often ex-
pensive bag or case that gives the
greatest service.

 

 

 

 

When the holland shades have pass—
ed their usefulness as such, they may
be denuded of sticks, fringes, and fix-
tures, and boiled thoroughly to take
out the stiffening. After they are re-
duced to a state of pliablllty, dried,
and ironed, they serve a variety of
uses. They make, among other things,
the best of cleaning, washing, and also»
cloths.

all the importance of purchasing the

which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
' the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken-
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of

I I": "Some 'W’nt‘ch Hints.

“It is a bad practice to be continu
ally setting a watch by the stem set-
ter,” observed a watch repairer, “for
it has a tendency to wear out the
band that attaches the hands to the
pinion. The hands are tightened to
the pinion as firmly-as they can be,.
and every setting loosens them some.
what. There is a class of persons who
set their watches every day rather
than give a little attention to the mat-
ter: of regulating them. They find
that the watch gains or loses a min.
ute or a few minutes in each twenty-
four hours, and instead of curing this
by the regulator. which is put in the
watch for that express purpose, and
rib other,‘they force back or forward
the hands by the stem setter or by a
key.

“If the hand pinioxi wears out.
which lit frequently does, it is con-
siderable of a job to put in a new one
or place new bands on it, and the work
necessarily costs something, for watch
repairers have to charge for their
work. If a person knows that a. watch
gains or loses a certain amount in
each day, it is- better to calculate back
or forWard than to be continually set-
ting it. A little study of the regulator
will do the work much better, with-
out the rask of wearing out anything."
~Washlngton Star.

 

Bandy ‘meed Costume. '4

G‘o where the shopper may, tweeds
and cheviots, both smooth and shaggy,
and of almost every conceivable color,
thickness and quality, meet the eye.
For utility costumes these materials
are in as great demand as ever, and
with good reason, for they are at once
natty in effect, useful and stylish in
pattern, and have the additional ad.
vantage of requiring but little trim-
ming. Notwithstanding the rage for
elaborate decoration, there is no radig
cal change this season in the style of
making the tailor gown, and good taste
is still shown in the construction of
both skirt and bodice. In the first
place, elaborate effects would be out 1!!
place on a tailor gown designed for any,
sort of practical wear, and then that.
are certain limitations due to th.
weight of the fabrics composing them",
even supposing that trimmings were
allowable. '

 

 

Fringea‘a’nd Buttons.

Fringe: of every width and buttons
in every variety of shape and size are
shown with other new things in the
way of dress trimmings, and among the
very old-fashioned revivals is a cape
in long shawl-point shape, both front
and back finished with a fringe about
eight'inches deep, with a. knotted net-

work at the top—a style in fashion ‘

when Queen Victoria was in her teens.
