Said he: “When cungress anthor- s tbe start I shall be ready to fur- b the material for experiments in silk culture. The work is nearly all done in the spring, and if my plans carry by next spring every member of congress will have fifty mulberry trees to give to lis constituent.

Death of Mra, R. J. Beli The sad news was received yesterday morning of the death of Mrs. R. J. Bell, at Ruseau, mother of R. R., C. R., W. and Miss Edna Bell of Grand Rapids. Mrs. Bell was well known here, having visited her child- ern in Grand Rapids last spring, and remaining several weeks. Druggist Bell and his brothers and aister, Miss Edna, left yesterday to attend the funeral. They have the svm pa thy of this entire community in their great bereavement. The deceased was a sister of Mrs. Grove, teacher in Central school. here Miss Craig. county superintendent of schools for Sherbourne county ac- companied by her father, Senator To Solve the Servant Problem It has long been evident to the thougtful housekeeper that the only way to supplant the unskillen, waste- ful and high priced servant of this generation is to establish manual training schools for domestic science, where young girls, after a thorough course in one or all branches of house- hold work, shall receive diplomas entitles them to certain situations ata fixed scale of wages. Perhaps no class of women workers is so well paid as that of domestic servants, and certainly there is no other class about which we hear such constant complaint. Special preparation for special work is demanded in most trades and every profession, but the haphazard training of a domestic ser- vant, or her lack of even that, does not debar her from a good home and mouey to spare. Not without much training of mistresses in the noble art of good housekeeping, and cer- tainly not without the cooperation of of housekeepers to keep up the stand- ard and quantity of work demanded fora given wage in any community, can the training school fulfill its mission in hastening the millenium. —November Ladies’ Howe Jourual.

Two DoLuars a YEAR. SPECIAL SALE j Mercer To Be Relieved. | A dispatch from Washington to the | St. Paul Pioneer Press says that it is j stated at the war department that , Capt. Mercer, acting Indian agent at Leech Lake, will be relieved of his { duties at the Minnesota agency about | Jan. 1, and sent to his regiment. Unofficial advices are received here that Capt. Mercer is desirous of | leaving Leech Lake and that he will } soon formally request the secretary { lot war for relief from his preseot * assignment. Capt. Mercer’s wishes in the mat- ter ure understoud to have been ecmmunicated to Secretary. Hitch- The; cock and Indian Commissioner Jones. When seen today the latter refused touflirm or deny the report. Letters have been received here by friends of the agent, Indicating that he is tire of his position at Leech Lake. Capt. Mercer was selected for his present duties because of the belief that his experience in Indian affairs would enable h‘m to sulve the com- plex problems involved in the affairs of the Chippewa 4ndians. Matters at Leech Lake have not improved under his management, and interior department official have recently manifested some annoyanee with his administration. negotiating with lumber operators with a view to securing a settlement ty as Herod.

As recently stated in these | dispatches, some of the officials would prefer that the matter were taken into the courts in order that the whole question may be thorough- ly aired. The Philippine Problem Though it has been declared again and again that the war in the Philip- pines is about over and that the natives are adjusting their necks meekly to the American yoke, recent reports would indicate that this isonly beginning and that the Fili pinos are as agressive as ever. Com- petent military observers who have returned from the island believe that the American army of invasion is too small to conquert be inhabitants and that it should be increased to 60,000 men. General Chaffee is reported to. have said that the whole people of the islands, with the exception of officeholders, are in sympathy with the insurrection; and in discussing the mode of punishment to be adopt- ed against: the revels he humauely says that the laws of war ‘do not sanction that a sentence of extermi- nation shall issue against a whole people’’ We regret to notice that the jingo- killed about 40 of them Jost 149, Americans were out to kill the Fili- pinos, but did not exercise proper caution and were taken by surprise. The Indians took Custer and his truops by surprise on the Little Big Horn and slaughtered them merci- lessly, and yet Sitting Bull and his red-shins were not exterminated, and the male Indians within miles of the bloody scene were not ‘killed ruth- lessly.’” The Filipinos are entitled to be treated according w the rules of civil- ized warfare. ‘They are not a barbar- ous people. They have fought brave- ly against overwhelming odds, and for what? That they may enjoy self- government in theland of their birth. We agree with General Chaffee that the laws of war do aot sanction the extermination of a whole race.
