Governor Taft, rmd the pro'calaiua

hous which has sheltered him

to visit friends friends briefly and
to depart on a trip. His destination
s not announced.
The exiles on the fslaud of Guam
are expected to return home on a
special steamer. The observance
of the National holiday is general.
The city is decorated and the ships
are flying all their flags. The cel
ebration was typically American,
even to the firecrackers. Acting
Governor Wright and General
Chaffee reviewed the procession
.md Captain Crossfield delivered an
oration. He defended the Amer
ican policy in the Philippines, pre
dicted the ultimate and complete
acceptance of Americau institutions
by the Filipinos aud denounced the
critics of the Philippine policy.
There were athletic games and
racing in the afternoon and fire
works and illuminations at night.
This is a pecnliar world, says
ome philosopher. One man is
saving mouey to build a home, and
another is trying to sell his for
less thau it cost to build it. One
man is spending all he can make
in taking a girl to the theatre and
sending her flowers with the hope
of making her his wife, whiles
neighbor is spending what money
he has in getting a divorce. One
man escapes the diseases the flesh
is heir to and gets killed on the
railroad. Another escapes with
only a scratch and dies with tbe
whooping cough. One man stands
off his creditors and goes traveling
or to the springs while another
stays at home and pays his debts.
