Hailed in France as Worthy
Successor of M. Loubet.
REGARDED WITH ESTEEM
During Thirty Years of Political Cv
m r IIus N'rvcr i'sod tlie Power
fo Remove An Employee?Expressed
(i Desire to Walk Lu the
Steps of His Predecessor.
"M. Faille res succeeded M. I.oubct."
writes M. Georges Clenienoeau
in the Aurora, and the sutlsfactiou
thus expressed Is common to the
largo majority of republicans.
~M. Jaures, in L'Humenite, r.otcs
the "beautiful ypectaclo of deniocracy
allirrnng with decorum and wIbdom
its sovereign power in the palace
of an old monarchy."
Tho paper dwells with pleasure on
the democratic oilgin, modest character
und true republican record of
M. Fallteies, in whom the other republican
writers see a man likely to
he a worthy successor to M. I.oubet;
President Falller***.
In fact, some people go so far as to
trace n personal resemblance between
the two Presidents, particularly
In the lower portion of the face,
with a big spreading white beard.
In stature and girth there Is, of
course, a Brent difference. M. Fal(
i llereB Is a much biggor man, with uu
,< avoirdupois which has already bean
tho butt of the caricaturists. The
President, takes thoso Jests with
characteristic good humor, while ut
the santo tlmo sparing no pains to
keep down his weight.
It Is told of him that every morning,
ruin or cold, he starts at eight
o'clock on a two hours' fast wa'li,
from which he roturns bathed In
perspiration, and then, assisted by
hla wlfo?for this simple minded
man does not like to have many servants
around hint?has a vigorous
rub down bef??ro starting bis day's
work, nt half r?Ht ten. Ho lunches
at midday, dines at seven and retires

.. v. .vuiial lil.lll.l .11111 lippwtlto,
M. Falllorca Is very fond of
cllshes peculiar to Oascony, from
which province ho halls, being, In
fuct, the first Gascon who 1ms attained
Presidential honors. At the
table he drinks a "petit vln" from
his own vineyards, at l.euplllon,
where he hns a small ejtnto, which,
with a house or two nt Mczin, left
blm by his father, constitute the
bulk of his modest fortune.
In his birthplace and surrounding
country M. Falllleres Is hall fellow
well met with everybody and is said
not to havo an enemy.
Tho Figaro states that In the
whole courso of hla political career,
thirty years ns Deputy Senator and
IiTlnlster, M. Fullleros has nevor been
known to use his power to remove a
government employee, schoolnmstor
or functionary of nny rank, high or
low, In his department of Dot ot
Guronue, whoso political views did
not colnc.ldo with his own. How many
Deputies? nsks the tho Figaro, coifld
Buy as much.
Nor can tho charge, of nepotism be
made against tho President-elect. M.
Fallleres has throe orphaned nophews
who live with him, and recently
one of them sought to obtain
the decoration "Palmes Acadainlques,,"
and induced the then Minister
of the Inter.or to include his
name in tho Hat, which was In duo
courso submit*- <1 to M. Fallleres for
approval. At dinner that evening M.
Fallleres spoke to tho ofTendlng nephew
as follows:?-"So you wanted
tho Palmes Aradnnilques, and you
made use of my name to get them. I
wish you to understand n.o?h<?w
thnt I don't want anybody to say I
fnvor my relatives, and consequently
I have crossed out your name from
the Met."
When notified of his election, ho
expressed himself In the following
words: "I have but one ambition?
to walk In the stops of that old republican,
without fear and without
reproach, who during his seven years
of office has BOt such examples of
courage, wisdom, patriotism and disinterestedness.
If, like him, I accomplish
my seven years' mandate, I
will, like him, modestly and without
atir, retire from power."

How a Man May Meet Antlers Though I
He Stay at Home. | '
/'Ah, my boy." said the enthuslas- ' i
tic hiflfftcr, who had Just returned ,
from the great north woods, "why !
don't vou follow the moose? You !
don't know what It is to feel a hugo ,
pair of antlers goring you on a dark
night." ,
i "Don't, eh," ropllcd the stav-at- j
home. "Well, I Just happpened to
~ ?..l- as -n * ?
icoi u |;uir uh uin?r liigui."
j "Great Scott! Do you mean to say
you v.*oro In the north hunting?"
j "No; these antlers happened to
form a hatrnck In our hallway and 1
brushed up against them when I 1
came In from the club." j
A Reading Lesson. '
Tt Is a well-established fact that 1
the average school teacher experiences
a great deal of difficulty when
she attempts to enforce the clear 1
pronunciation of the terminal "g" of J
each present participle.
"Robert," said the teacher of one
of the lower classes during the pro- '
great* of a reading exerclBo, "please
: read the first sentence." 1
A diminutive lad arose to his f?et,
and amid a series of labored gasps '
breathed forth the following:
"See the horse ruunln'." I ]
"Don't forget the 'g,* Robert., ad|
monished tho teacher,
j "Geo! See tho horse runnln'."?

Tho truest picture of a woman is , !

but It's like goods In tho piece; they j

Proposition of D. H. Burnham
For Philippine Capital
WILL PRESERVE OLD WALL
Government Buildings to Command
the Bay?A Great Ecclesiastical
Canter?Tho IMaza >lcffJoley?At
Present Ten Thousand Americans
in Manila.
The application of American ideals
>f municipal improvements to this
picturesque old port of the orient
interest and delight, says the Chlmgo
News. To the extent that It was
idoptcd it will prove a guaranty of
the development of an oriental capital
upon occidental lines, and it will
reflect the cfTorta of temperate-zone
people to make themselves comfortable
In the tropics, with results that
would Bcom to be wonderfully suclersful.
No American landscape artist
or municipal improver ever had
jo pretty a problem,
Tho first question relates to the
aid wall, for Manila Is one of the !
most perfect examples of the old i
walled cltv to bo found In the world. I
The hustling business men of Manila
are Impatient of the obstruction
which it presents to getting about
md they want It demolished straightway.
Every visitor to the city feels
that It would be a terrible mistake to
abilterate such an Interesting monument
of the past uud one that fits in
jo harmoniously with old Manila.
Mr. Burnhaui lias effected a happy
joaipromise. lie purposes to convert
the insanitary moats into sunken
gardens, and he has discovered a '
way, on account of tho peculiar con- I
jtructlon of tho wall, by which it j
may be pierced without showing it j
much, or without affecting Its geusral
long-distance effects. In this
way he would give tho additional
jtreots necessary and would save the
Wi.ll.
The ocean view Is Manila's great
lift moil t Of ho??llfV All Its u-'hltn
lents now go at nightfall to the Luuotta,
which Is u park on tho sea. to
hear the bund play and to witness
the tropical sunset acrow the bay,
with tho cone-shaped mountain on
the other aide. Mr. Burnham purposes
to construct an 'ocean boulevard
all the way from I,unetta to
Cavlte, and to puah the Lunotta Itself
out Into the sea, on made land,
to bring It Into Ilns with the reclamation
now In progress for the
warehouses and other dock facilities
which have been provided.
A short distance from these government
building*, on the ocean
boulevard, another projection into
the sea would bo made for the governor-general's
palace. That residence
Is now on the Pusig River,
about a mile and a half Inland from
the ocean front. It Is known as the
Malacanan palace and has been occupied
by the long line of Spanish !
governors.
It Is proposed to group the inunlc- j
Ipel buildings In that part of the |
walled city which has long been used '
for government purposes of all i
kinds. It has recently been named j
Plaza McKlnley, end If Mr. Buru- !
ham's plan prevails theso structures !
will bo devoted to municipal pur- |
poses, while the government edlflcos '
will begin opposite tho Luuctta, Just <
out side the wall, and swing ucross
In a graceful curve to the Pusig j
Ri' er, making a distance of perhaps :
a i lie and a half, which can bo lined j
with handsome buildings for the
colonial government. The tendency ,
to put Uncle Sam's structures In this
part of the city has already set In. ,
The government printing office is |
tn ere ana also tho uuw scientific
laboratory.
Tlio esteros, or natural canals I
with which the city In threaded, that
serve so largo a transportation pur- .
pose for the native population, much
llko the alloy approaches of an
American city, Mr. Burnhain proposes
to leave Just as they aro, let- J
ting them wind In and out regardloaa '
of bis proposed street system.
Choice locations on the ocean ,
boulevard aro assigned to the various
American clubs of which there
are many, since the club life of European
and American residents In
tho tropics Is one of the most pleas- J
ant features In the Asiatic cities. Manila
has about 10,000 American resl- j
dents and under tho commercial de- 1
velopuient promised with tho now
ducks and with free egress for Its
products into tho United Statos, It
would probably have a natlvo popu- !
latlou boforo many years of 400,000.
Bagulo Is already developing Into
a great ecclesiastical center. In fact, |
the church buildings aro In advance
of tho government buildings. Arch- |
bishop Harty, who Is an Amorlcan,
proposes to build a great cathedral, a
seminary for the education of
priests, a school and other ecclesiastical
buildings, on ono of tho hills of
flngulo, making his own residence
there.
The Printing Office.
The printing office has Indeed
proved a better rollego to mivny a
boy, has graduated more useful and
conspicuous members of society, has
brought more Intellect out and
turned it Into practical, useful channels,
awakened more minds, generated
more active and elevated
thoughts, than many of the literary
colleges of the country. A boy who
commences In such a school ns the
printing office. will have his talents
and Ideas brought out; and If ho Is
a careful observer, oaporlence In his
professfon will contribute more toward
an education than can be obtained
In almost any other maoaer.
