A letter has been received this week from Miss Julia Parrott, who for many years has been serving as a missionary stationed at Toungoo, Burma. The letter is dated December 8.1899, at Rangoon. Burma, and states that she is on her way to France, where she goes on account of rapidly failing health. For at least a year she has been suffering from poor health and although she has rested frequently and done everything possible no change for the better has manifested itself and she has decided to try a change of climate. The Democrat, by her order, will follow her to her new address which is "Care of R. Saillens, 4 Rue Aregot, Bourg La Reine, Seine, Paris, France. Miss Parrott expects to see several Adams county friends at the world's exposition during the coming summer, when if able she will be employed at the Baptist Mission. Dr. H. E. Keller has mounted upon a card a splinter fully three inches long which he removed yesterday from the hand of a young man named Dick Hill, who is 'employed at the hoop factory. Hill was attending to his regular duties at the factory yesterday when a bolt of wood flew from one of the machines. He saw it coming and threw up his hand to avoid the blow, received a glancing lick and a piece of the wood a half inch thick and fully three inches long. It was imbeded' in the palm of the hand just along the bone and was indeed painful. The remainder of the bolt was hurled across the room and struck with terrific force against the wall tearing loose a piece of the siding. Considering these facts Dick considers himself lucky to have escaped with his life.

Havana, Jan. 13.—’’Ferdrico Mora, fisoal ot the supreme court, is hereby removed from office for the good ot the public service. "This removal is the result of an investigation into the conditions existing in the administration of justice under his snpervision. ” The foregoing official order was handed to Senor Mora yesterday by Governor General Wood. Senor Mora’s fall has been predicted ever since the first case was brought against the customhouse officials, and the disgraceful conditions of the prisons, especially as affecting those awaiting trial, has been generally charged against him. For some time it has been said that Mora has been devoting too much attention to social affairs and too little to his duties. General Wood’s investigation has shown that the office of the supreme i

rn.ials whom Collector Bliss is - | lW(t (.protect the in " w ffich ’ trmn receiving the 1S [iiel r due; but the public has scarcely willing to be!.eve that high offiGoethe rank of Mora have been imEsteves, —tary of justice, ha i a long consultation with the go renor general before filial action «as ' a Theonlv paper which comments upon the removal, is The Ih8CU “““' which evidently received the before going to press last evening. onlv remark is a protest. As the order was not issued to the press. The Dis cusion, which m Mora s moUth P'^ e ’ must have received it from the dismissed fiscal Senor Andrade and Senor Pierra are prominently mentioned as possible;successors in the fiscalship. General Wood is particularly desirous of securing the services of an able and honest lawyer, an indefatigable worker and a man whose loyaltv to the Cuban cause is unquestionable. Senor Andrade has a strong political backing, bnt by many he is considered too vigorously antiAmerican. Senor Pierra was formerly the editor of The Independiente. His loyalty to the Cuban cause is unquestioned', and, as he lived many years in the United States, he is friendly to the Americans. Either appointment would probably be popular with the people. CONGRESSIONAL Philippine Situation and Financial Bill Debated In the Senate. Washington, Jam 16.—Spirited debate on the Philippine .question occupied the attention of the senate for nearly three hours yesterday. Mr. Berry (Dem., Ark.JJfirst addressed the senate in support of the resolutions recently introduced by Mr. Bacon (Dem., Ga.) regarding the disposition of the Philippines. He was followed by Mr. Pettigrew (Silver Rep., S. D.) in support of his resolution of inquiry. Mr. Pettigrew was very bitter in his attacks upon the administration. Mr. Wolcott, (Rep., Colo.) replied to Mr. Pettigrew, scathingly arraigning the South Dakota Senator for the attitude he had assumed on the Philippine question. He declared his belief that if Aguinaldo himself occupied tue s -a: in the senate occupied by Mr. Pettigrew, representing the people of South Dakota, who had sent their sous as soldiers to the Philippines, he would be too patriotic, to devoted to the interests of the country, to assume the attitude

assumed by the present South lu senator. Mr. Wolcott adverted, # the speech recently delivered by Beveridge (Rep- Ind.), sharply (C jug it for the spirit of greed seemed to aunimate the senator in ing such a deliverance. At the conclusion of the Phili Da discussion, Mr. Rawlins (Dem addressed an elaborate argument to-J' senate in opposition to the pro& financial legislation.

Wdbw Chapman has resigned as vice president of the Moody Bible institute, as theft suit of a controversy as to who shonii write the official life of the dealers’, gelist—himself or Will R. Moody. What President Was Thia! One day a president of the United States sent for me. He had been elected to that high office, but had not yet been installed. “I hear,” he said, “that you have just come back from Washington.” “Yes.” “Did you go to the White House! You did? Well, please sit down and tell me all about it. What sort ot a house is it? How is it managed? How many rooms are in it? Whereabouts does the president do his work? And how did you get in then-—how do visitors manage to see the bouse while i president and his family are living la it?” “Why,” I exclaimed, “you have often been to Washington! Have you never visited the White House?” "No,” said he. “I have only seen the outside of it. I ha > e never even seen a president or. in fact, any great man. I am so peculiarly constituted that if I knew the greatest man in the world could lie seen by walking to the corner I would not walk there. Bnt now that I am about to make the White House my home, I should very mueli like to hi ar all that you can tell me abont it.”—Julian Ralph In Saturday Evening Post.
