He has the right Idea about bringing men together, not for any personal or political purpose, but simply to promote good-fellowship. He does not give dinners din-ners because he desires to nccompliHh any particular piece of legislation, or to Influence any member for or against some. proposition that may be pending, but simply to bring his friends together so that they will have a pleasant time. His dinners am wholly non-partisan, as are all of his entertainments, and consequently his friends are on both sides of the political aisle. Sibley has been quite closely ldenllllod with the Pennsylvania Republican organization, and it might be that he would be considered con-sidered available for the Scnatorshlp. Tt is expected by the Bureau of In-aular In-aular Affairs, War department, that the Philippine exhibit at the St. Louis exposition, ex-position, together with the visit of prominent Filipinos to different cities of the United State?, will give the people peo-ple of this country a pretty fair idea of the Philippine people. At SL LouIh can be seen the wildest of the savage tribes from the Moro who wants a boiled Moro for dinner, and the Igorrote, who wonts fried dog for breakfast, to tlio highly-educated Filipino who Is a member of the Government's commission, commis-sion, or who Is at the head of an important im-portant profession in the islunds. It will be observed that we not only have the high-class educated and business talent, but that we have as savage tribes aa can be found In the world today. to-day. There has heen a great problem in week or ten days. During the Spanish war all officers were ordered to wear the .fatigue or undress uniform usually worn in military posts. As soon as the war was over the custom was abandoned, aban-doned, and ofllcers appeared in citizen's citi-zen's costume. Then came a time when Gen. Corbln, adjutant-general, donned his uniform every day. and other officers offi-cers followed his example. Secretary Root noticed that some ofllcers were ln uniform and others were not. and upon inquiry found it was optional whether they wore uniforms or not. He had an order Issued directing that all ofllcers of-llcers on duty ln the department to wear uniform. It was very well, too. Men who have business in the department depart-ment ought to know to whom they are talking, and ought to lenow who arc ofllcers and who are not. The uniform Is an excellent thing, and there la no rcaHon why nn officer on duty 6hould not wear It. But the hot weather comes on, and one of the military undress coats buttoned tight up to a standing collar is rather uncomfortable with the thermometer at 90 degrees. At the beginning be-ginning of tho first hot weather there was an agitation ln the War department depart-ment for a modification of the order relative to uniforms. Officers desired to appear In the gauzy seersucker or the flapping alpaca or the polkadot cotton Jackot, or anything elso that was cool, nnd that did not require the warm military mil-itary clothes. Tin general start set to work upon the matter with a view of I obtaining some sort of uniform which j might meet all requirements of hot weather and Btlll be mllitarj-. The outcome out-come will probably bc lhat every officer of-ficer will wear what he pleases during the hot weather. Speaking of hot weather In Washington, Washing-ton, electricity has revolutionized the conditions, and the big department buildings are mado as comfortable as could be expected in this latitude by the electric fans. Many an olticlal has been heard to Hay that the best summer sum-mer resort he could find was in his own office in Washington, with an electric fan buzzing in either corner, while he comfortable attended to the duties which were imposed upon him. Only a few years ngo the electric fan was unknown, nnd the officials and clerks almost fought for a window where a slight breeze could come in. Now there Is a fan in every room, and a current of ail- 18 always stirring. . Some men have been heard to i-emark that the electric fan is an invention of the devil. This is the remark of men who have business in the offices where lhe fan is at work. Such a man conies in sweltering from tlic street and in a hot perspiration. The electric fan is so arranged that it docs not direct a breeze on the official or clerk with whom the visitor has business to transact, but It does boar directly upon the chair where the man must sit down, or if he remains standing, stand-ing, a current of air Is sure to reach him between the shoulders or under the ribs. In a room where two or three of these fans are going, and the officials have pre-empted all the places that are not touched by the direct draft, it is Impossible for a person to enter without with-out soon feeling the effect of a steady current of air pouring down upon him. It Is these people who deride the electric elec-tric fan and complain of pneumonia, rheumatism and colds. At the same time the electric fan is a very good thing for the workers ln the departments, depart-ments, for there is a long, weary time ahead with the beginning of every June. ARTHUR W. DUNN. |
