CHAFFEE'S ORDER IS APPROVED
MANILA, Feb. 2.—Manila is intensely
interested as to what action congress
will take concerning the Philippine
islands. Ordinary local politics have been
forgotten and two parties have been
formed, the optimists and the pessimists.
Some think that life and property are
unsafe outside of the towns of the
Islands, while others ridicule such ideas
and consider life and property to be as
sured.
Criticisms of the statements of Civil
Governor Taft that he believed 15,000 men
would be sufficient to garrison the islands
In a year are plentiful. Yet the majority
of the business men say that Gov. Gen.
Taft is right on one condition only, that
being that congress acts for the benefit
of the Philippines. Capt. Frank Green,
president of the American chamber of
commerce here, says he fully believes
that Civil Governor Taft's forecast can
be realized if congress will arrange to
open the country to mining and home
stead laws, and to open and enlarge the
.forestry reserves. Should this legisla
tion be effected, an act by the Philippine
commission grunting franchises would
naturally follow and American capital
In large quantities, as well as many
American miners and homestead-seekers,
would come to the islands.
Results Will He Good.
"If this were accomplished," continued
the president of the chamber of com
merce, "we would immediately have a
large body of resourceful and self-re
liant men scattered throughout the archi
pelago who would become a source of
■information for the government con
cerning the natives surrounding them
and who would constitute a reserve force
In case of necessity. The consequent de
velopment of the islands would give em
ployment to an increasing number of Fili
pinos who, while busy making money,
would have less time to plot. The good
wages in sight would make even those
Filipinos in the field desert the insurrec
tion in order to enjoy their share of the
prosperity.
"Everyone admits the excellent work
done by the native constabulary, which
will be increased. Many municipalities
also now possess a fairly efficient police
force. The concentration of the Ameri
can troops Into substantial barracks
■would reduce the sick rate among them,
and 15,000 men under such circumstances
would equal 20,000 men now. Given these
conditions, it can readily be seen that
In case of a local outbreak with which
the police would be unable to cope, the
constabulary would be handy. Should it
be necessary, the military can come in
ttnd then, as a last resort, there would
be this ever increasing body of American
citizens willing to render assistance."
( liaflfee's Order Commended.
A prominent member of the government
£ays that the order of Gen. Chaffee to
military commanders to harmonize with
th<j civil author ties will have a
good effect- The member of the
governnent in question things
■vhatever friction the t e has b-jen
in the provinces is probably due to
the continuation in uiese provinces in a
military capacity of the same officers who
previously wielded civil power there.
Gen. Chaffee recognizes that both these
branches of the government are working
by different means to the same end—the
desire of the American people that a
clean and good government be established
in every place possible.
Gen. J. Franklin Bell, commanding the
American troops in the provinces of Ba
tangas and Laguna, Southern Luzon, has
arrived here to confer with Gens. Chaf
fee and Wheaton. He considered there is
every prospect for the final termination of
the insurrection in these provinces.

Jhe globe's Daily Short Jtory I
Cupid at the telephone.
BY JEANNETTE HADDERMAN WALWORTH.
(Copyright, 1902, by Daily Story Pub. Co.)
It grew dark earlier about old Chaf
fee's cabin than elsewhere on the plan
tation. The reason is obvious.
Old Chaffees cabin, of rough hewn
logs, was surrounded on three sides by
tall thick growing forest tree 3, some
of them somberly alive, the majority
mere blackened skeletons that Tiad been
charred in the making of the small clear
ing; on the fourth side raced tho Mis
sissippi river.
Old Chaffee was the ferryman, who
rowed occasional seekers after transit
to or from Brownsville, the county seat,
whose spires loomed, immediately .oppo
site to his cabin in the woods.
It was a drearily lonesome spot where
the ferryman lived, and yet there had
sprung and thriven there as pretty and
sweet a girl as all the country side could
boast.
One often finds flowers of delicate
beauty growing among the neglected
herbage of the roadside or the fence
corner. Bella Chaffee was an anomaly
of that sort.
In the gloaming of a soft spring even
ing she sat on the cabin doorstep, sew
ing on something white. The fleeting
daylight lay in pallid patches on her
work. Old Chaffee was not as liberal
as the sun in dispensing light, and was
given to grumbling disagreeably if the
great jumbo lantern that swung from
the portico ceiling was lighted by his
women folks for any other pun.:se than
to guide him from his starting point on t"'e
town side to his own ramshackle pier, to
which a small fleet of untrustworthy
rowboats was always anchored.
Passengers were irregular, but always
welcome as a source of revenue. Witn
startling unexpectedness one of thess
came out of the black woods behind the
girl, as she sat sewing on the doorstep.
So intent was she on the white garment
spread over her lap that it was only by
the sudden increase of darkness she was
made to look up.
A man stood between her and the fad
ing light. A tall man, young, and with
a certain ease of manner that made Bel
la promptly pronounce him a gentleman.
She crumpled her work into a shape
less mass. It was the petticoat she was
to wear under her wedding dress on the
very next day, and she blushed with
a sense of the unseemliness of a man's
eyes resting on it. She got nimbly to
her feet. i
But the man had no eyes for her or
her petticoat. He was there on urgent
personal business, any hindrance to which
might be fraught with grave consequen
ces. He doffed his hat to her sex, as he
asked, abruptly:
"la this where, Chaftee, tho ferryman,
lives?"
Bella said "ye!?," rolling her petticoat
into a tight cylinder.
"I want him to put me across the
river at once."
Quailing a little before his imperious
air of command, Bella said: "I'm ay f '
sorry, sir, but father's gone for the
night; went with the man to select tim
ber for his new boat. Folks so seldom
want to cross on such a night."
"What's the matter with the night?"
"Nothing much with the night, but the
river's high and the drift wood's ter
rible thick, and the fog begins to thick
en almost as soon as the &un goes
down."
They were scarcely more than two

NO GOMIG VALENTINES
CHICAGO SIBIRB PLACES A BOY-
COTT OX THEM.
Special to The Glotte.
CHICAGO, Feb. 2.—Comic valentines
are tabooed in Ravenswood. Although
there aire some dolls with foolish counte
nances still in possession of the children
of this aristocratic suburb, the highly
colored caricature which has delighted
the eyes of youngsters lor generations
is lacking this season.
The comic valentines exclusion act is
for the saving of the child mind from i
lowering influence and toward inculcat
ing In the tender brain the desire for
high thinking. Though the children rebel
against this training, it will do no good,
for the hearts of the storekeepers have
hardened against them. To all demands
for comic valentines savage answers are
given.
Petitions were circulated among pa
rents requesting them to forbid their
children purchasing comic valentines.
Signatures were easy to get. Every -me
that lives in Ravenswood takes a pride
in the suburb.
What could the small shopkeepers do
in the face of such a storm? There was
nothing for them to do except fall into
line. Accordingly they agreed that no
comic valentines should darken show
windows in Ravenswood.
There's a Difference.
"Am I to understand," asked the for
eigner, trying to get the half Nelson on
some of our Americanized-English Idioms,
that 'satisfied' and 'contented' are synon
mous?"
"Yes, sir," answered the learned pro
fessor.
"I cannot doubt the professor his
word," answered the polite student, "yet
only yesterday I saw a man who declared
that he was satisfied his watch had been
stolen, and still he appeared far from
being contented."— Los Angeles Herald.
PICTURE PUZZLE.
THE ST., PAUL, ULOBE, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1903.
voices to each other, standing there in
the twilight gloom, with the maddened
river rushing by with audible fury.
"Notwithstanding, I must cross the
river tonight."
" 'Must?' My, but you sound master
ful. Nothing but a wedding or a funeral
ought to make folks so bent on a thing."
The man laughed unpleasantly.
"It is to stop a wedding even if 1
turn it into a funeral. Is there no man
about who yan take old Chaffee's place
at the oars? I am willing to pay hhn
$25."
"Twenty-five dollars," Bella repeated
the magnificent offer in short gasps
of amazement.
"I mean what I say."
The girl looked beyond him towards
the surging river. It was too dark now
to see them—but, she knew that myriad
black, irresponsible logs were being
borne recklessly upon its yellow bosom
toward the sea, each one a menace to
any small craft carelessly steered. Also,
there was the chance of being run down
in the fog by a passing steamer. To
steer a direct route to the Brownville
landing in face of all these impediments
was an achievement. A task full of dif
ficulty and danger.
On the other hand, $25! Why it would
more than pay for the simple white
gown that the village dressmaker, over
in Brownville, had promised to send
home tomorrow in time for her to be
married in at 8 o'clock in the evening.
She could even afford the added splendor
of a white satin ribbon for her neck, and
a bow for her hair, if she earned that
money. But if she failed? She shud
dered and spoke with some asperity:
"There isn't a man within miles of
us. I've put hundreds of folks across
the river myself, but how can 1 tell if
it is so urgent. You might wait over
until pa gets back-_tomorrow morning."
"'That may be too late. Perhaps if I
tell you the whole story you may be
moved to earn that money by putting
me across. I have a young brother
over there—he is buying lumber. Back
in Detroit where his people live a sweet
girl is ready to marry him and make his
whole family happy. Last week I got a
telegram from a friend in Brownsville,
saying: 'Jan about to make a fool of
himself. Marries a nobody on the 12th."
That's tomorrow. 1 must put a stop
1 shall telr him that his mother is
ill and make him go home with me." He
stamped his foot with impatience—"will
you, or, will you not put me across the
river?"
The girl looked at him composedly:
"How do you know he is going to make
a fool of himself?"
"Is it likely that a Bellinger would lind
a suitable wife in these back woods ">
Twenty-five, thirty, forty dollars, girl,
if you will put me across the river be
fore 8 o'clock tonight. That telegram
was not explicit enough. I may be too
late by morning. Will you do it"
"Yes," said Bella quietly. "You just
walk down that plank walk till you come
to some boats chained to the pier. I'll
tell ma what I'm going to do and get her
to light thtr* big lantern, so's I can steer
he me by it."
Ho was heartlessly indifferent to he?
home-coming. He supposed she knew
enough to take him over safely and
herself back as safely. Beyond that he
felt no concern. Nothing interested him
just now but the rescue of the young
brother for whom so brilliant a destiny
had been marked out—from marriage
with a nobody, a village plebeian.
With strong, supple wrists Bella plant

HOLLAND IS PERSISTENT
BUT THERE IS SMALL CHAWE FOR
PEACE XOW.
LONDON, Feb. 2.—The Hague corre
spondent of the Daily Mail says that
Holland intends to remodel her offer con«
cerning peace in South Africa and re
new diplomatic representations to Great
Britain. Dr. Kuypcr, the Dutch premier,
says the correspondent has strong con
tinental backing and the negotiations are
likely to be prolonged.
"The Britis-h minister had an interview
with Dr. yon Lynden, the Dutch minister
of foreign affairs last Saturday," writes
the Brussels correspondent of the Morn
ing Post, "and intimated that Great
Britain wouM never negotiate with Mr.
Kruger or Dr. Leyds."
Rudyard Kipling, wiio arrived at Cape
Town Jan. 8. in a letter to a friend in
England, again protests emphatically
against any amnesty being granted the
rebels, which he fears from the attitude
of the home people may be done. Mr.
Kipling declares it is a question of life
or death for the Colony.
WOULD COAWAYAS HUNS
MRS. SOFFEL HAD PLAX THAT
FAILED.
BUTLER, Pa., Feb. 2.—Wearing
the garb of :iun? of the Ro
man Catholic church, under the protect
ing wing of which the condemned murd
erers had found spiritual rest, the Bid
• dies and Mrs. Soff el had resolved to
make their escape. It was Mrs. Soffel's
plan and the arrangement was that as
soon as the trio had reached a place
of temporary safety, they were to don
the black robes and veils as traveling
Sisters of Mercy and make for some
remote mining place in Canada where
they were to live together.
Mrs. Soffel's dead lover had told her
that he intended to give up his former
nefarious trade and work in the mines
with Jack. This plan was made known
to Dr. McCurdy Bricker at the Butler
hospital by Mrs. Soffel and was confirm
ed by Jack Biddle on Saturday. It was
not Jack's intention to always 1 remain
with his brother and his sweetheart.
The thought that, though the means
was dear, she had assisted her lover to es
cape the scaffold, seemed to soothe Mrs.
Soffel's mind and wounds today. She
remarked to the attendants at tbe hos
pital that she had accomplished her pur
poee and was ready to meet her fate.
Tonight Miss Cook, matron at the hos
pital, says she considers Mrs. Soffel's
case as progressing favorably.
A NEW BRAND OF HALO
AJ> CMPTIMIST SAW OXE LIKE A MO-
LASSES BARREL.
Special to The Globe.
SPRINGFIELD, Ohio, Feb. 2.—An Op
timist temple was dedicated, in this city
by W. C. Smith, president of the Na
tional League of associated optimists.
In his dedicatory address he claimed to
have been the object of a divine manifes
tation, which came in the form of a halo
while he was walking in the city in
broad daylig-ht.
He compared the halo in size ajid shape
to a molasses barrel. It descended on
him, and he says his soul was removed
from his body into the hea%~ens, where
he viewed the city. Afterward his vis
lon was enlarged, and he viewed the en
tire world, as Christ did from the mount.

Her Friend—er—you can't be mis
taken all thofcmel-^PucV
to wriggle about mare tban he could help.
It am t going to be a swift trip," she
said, sending the boat away from the
pier with long smeoth strokes. "We've
got about everything there is against us.
Wind, tide, drift *ootf and fog, to say
nothing of the chances of being run
dewn in the fog by the mail boat. She's
due about now. Maybe Providence will
see us through, though. I suppose if
the worst conies to the worst you know
how to swim?"
"Yes, I can swim if needs must, but
how about you"
"Oh I'm taking care of myself right
now, she answeTed, with an odd laugh.
'Don't you bother about me."
She rowed on in silence, now turning
her lithe bedy to watch the approach of
some particularly threatening drift log;
now to fix her gaze steadily en the illum
inated face of the town clock.
The town clock and the jumbo lantern
were about equidistant from the boat
when she developed a sudden turn for
conversation. "S'posen you find you are
too late to stop that foolishness of your
brother's, would you bt, terribly cut up?"
"Terribly. 1'
"Are you the unforgiving sort? Would
it go very hard with—him—to have a row
with you? J s'pose the girl don't count
with you."
"The girl does count. I'm not quite the
brute I've shown myself to you. I pre
sume If the thing comes off, in spite of
me, I'll have to make the best of a bad
bargain, but it need not come off if you
will row instead of talking. Remember,
$40 if you get me there in time to stop it. '
"Did ho ever maKe love to the other
girl? You see this is the first love story
1 ever got mixed up in."
There was a note of exhausted pa
tience in the man's answer. "I must say,
Mis§ Chaffee, you are remarkably inquisi
tive even for a woman. No, I can't say
that he ever did, but it would all have
come right but for this mess."
Ten minutes more of hard rowing and
Bella's small craft lay rocking alongside
the r>ier on the Brownville side. The man
jumped ashore eagerly and began to fum
ble in his pocket. "You are a trump and
have earned your money."
Bella laughed up at him gaily. "Never
mind about the money. I guess you are
in a hurry to stop that wedding and as
your horse is on our side >ou'll be com
ing back that way. I wouldn't keep you
waiting for the small matter of $40; bet
ter hurry up the hill."
"Thank you; you are very considerate,
and I shali certainly bring you the mon
ey in the morning."
He walked rapidly up the sloping bank,
and was soon lost to sight.
From the shelter of a cotton shed two
men came into view and took their
places in Bella's boat. One of the men
possessed himself of the oars and qui~
etly directed Bella to seat herself in
the bow.
"Pretty well done, little girl. Bob's an
ugly customer to row with, and now,
Brother Maxwell there will make a row
futile before we meet."
"I could wish a less precarious way of
getting married, my children, but Cupid
has his own way of doing things."
"Even to using the telephone." said
the strong, fresh young oarsman, send
ir.g a ringing laugh across vhe turbulent
waters.
The clock in old Chaffee's sitting room
was just striking eight as the Rev. Max
well uttered the solemn words "I pro
nounce you man and wife."
"The devil you do!" came in an angrry
vcice from a man lust stepping into tho
light of the jumbo lantern. "How did
yen set over here?" he asked, striding
angrily up to his brother.
Jan Bellinger laughed and took his
pietty wife by the hand, "I came over
by return boat. Now Bobo, do you call
this foolishness?
The senior did the only graceful
thing left for him to do. He smiled
demurely down upon the girl who had
so cleverly "done him." Mrs. Bellinger,
I believe I owe you $4'»."
]£ell 3 answered with ready wit and
lovely blushes: "No, sir; that was only
if I get you thorp in time to stop this
foolishness. T failed in my part of the
contract. Tours, was to make the best
of a bad bargain."

St. Paul, Minn., Jan. 3, 1302.
To the Board of School Inspectors, St.
Paul. Minn.
Gentlemen: Being anxious to take up
the work of Manual Training in the
Cleveland High School on February first,
I would respectfully ask your honora
ble body to make a special appropria
tion of one hundred dollars to complete
cur equipment. No additional teaching
force will be needed this year.
The fact that the Board has never been
called upon to make any special appro
priation for the equipment of the Cleve
land High School and that the library
has been built up and the laboratories
have been well equipped, using only the
State High School Aid Fund, leads me
to urge tho importance and necessity
of this small appropriation at this time.
Respectfully yours,
S. A. FARNSWORTH.
I fully concur in the above, and urge
tr.'it the appropriation be made as re
quested.
IRWIN LEVISTON.
Laid over until next school year.
Rt. Paul, Minn., Jan. 3, 1902.
