WAR WIDOW AZAL
Her Husband Led The
PHILIPPINE Revolt.
SHE WAS MARRIED ON THE
BATTLEFIELD LAST
DECEMBER.
Her Husband Captured. Refused His
Life At The Expense OF Honor

And Money For
The War.

New York, Sept. pa spe-
cial from Philadelphia to the
Herald says:
Marina Cominol Orb HOzae
Rial, the widow of DR.. Hozae
Rial, who was executed in the
Philippine Islands by Gen. Pol
avieja, on December 6, 1896, is
in Philadelphia.
DIR. Rial was the leader of
the revolution. He had been
president of Manila university.
Marina Comenol Orb had been
a student in the University. An
attachment sprang up, and on
December 4, the girl went into
the thick of the battle to meet
her lover and they were married
with a band of reyolutionists as
witnesses. The bride returned
to Manila and two days later the
young husband was captured.
The Spanish general visited
the prison and offered him life,
liberty and passport for himself
and wife, if he would persuade
the insurgents to surrender.
Rizai refused to buy his freedom
at such a price and he was shot
to death by the Spaniards.
Mrs. Rial went to Japan and
there found sympathy and en-
enlargement. Through her arms
and supplies were sent to the in
surgents in the Philippines.
Many cases of arms and ammun-
ition have been shipped from
Philadelphia to Canada, whence
they will be sent to Japan. A
well-known arms manufacturing
establishment is said to have
sent thousands of rifles and is
at work completing more for the
same purpose. A band of re-
cruits will be sent from Amer
lea as soon as they can be col
lectcd.
The work has all been done so
secretly that the presence of
Mrs. Rial in Philadelphia mas
only been known to two or three
OF her most trusted friends.
One of the most important
steps yet taken by the Philip
pine insurgents has been their
solution to join forces with Gu.
ba for mutual interests. 1t is

instrumental in drawing up an

The Alcohol Habit.
N. Y. Weeklu FITNESS.

N. Y. Weekly Witness.
The following story is from the New
Crusade: A lady who was guest in
the home of physician and somewhat
troubled with insomnia, asked him to
give her something to make her sleep.
As he handed her dose of bromidia,
he said, II am sorry to start you on the
bromidla habit"
"But, DOCTOR" she exclaimed, zone
dose of bromidia does not constitute a
habit
NO." he replied, "but one dose con-
stitutes the beginning Of habit. You
will sleep we'll tonight, and tomorrow
night, if you do not sleep we'll, you will
remember the effects of the bromidia
and will probably try another dose,
and so on until you find yourself unable
to sleep without it, and then by and by
unable to sleep with 1t. So you will
be victim of the bromldla habit, and
1t is absolutely certain that if the first
dose is never taken the habit will never
be formed"

plan for twenty years has been to buy
so much space in a newspaper and fill
it up as I wanted. I would not give
an advertisement to newspaper OF five
hundred circulation for five thousand
dodgers or posters. If wanted to sell
cheap jewelry, Or run a gambling
scheme, I might use posters; but l
would not insult decent reading pub
lie with hand bills. The class of people
who read them are too poor to look for
support in mercantile affairs. say to
him !: How long will you let me run a
column of matter through your paper
for one or five hundred dollars? as the
case NAV be. I let him do the figur-
ing, and If l think he is not trying to
take more than his share, / give him
the copy. I lay aside the profits on a
particular line of goods for advertising
purposes. At first / laid aside three
thousand dollars last year I laid aside
and spent forty thousand dollars. I
have done better this year, and shall
increase that sum as the profits war
rant. I owe my success to newspapers,

DRINK CAREFULLY.
HOME THE SAFEST PLACE.
Impure Water and Disease.
Philadelphia Record.

Philadelphia Record.
Apropos of the summer outing seas
on, the Medical Record says the remark
that "water Is sometimes the most
deadly drink you can take" is untortu-
nately true and that diseases can be
conveyed by drinking water has been
undeniably proved, SO that even the
lay mind has now grasped that fact.
In these days the bacterlologist has to
some extent superseded the chemist.
At one time the judgment OF the
chemist on any water was considered
final. This, however, is not the case
now. Bearing on this point, there has
lately been held discussion among the
psychologists of New York State "On
the Relation of Impure Water to Dis
ease" an account OF which has been
published in the Albany Medical
Annals. Many important facts In con-
nection with water-borne diseases that
have been Investigated and established
we're set forth in brief and practical
manner. The relation of Impure water
to typhoid fever was the main subject
of discussion. Statistics of the COM
parative death rate of the large cities
of the world from typhoid were given
as one of the means of proving the
connection between that disease and
contaminated water, and it was pointed
out that the large towns of the United
States were far behind those of the
European continent in respect to their
water supply. But, as is we'll known
and as was demonstrated in the paper
on "The Dangers of the Domestic Use
Other Than by Drinking of Contami-
mated Water" it is not only from the
use of water for drinking purposes that
danger of Injection is to be feared
water containing pathogenlc bacteria
may cause disease in many other ways
than by being used tor drinking pur-
poses. Various articles of food will
carry bacteria from contaminated water,
as, for example, milk, oysters, ice cream,
which are also themselves good media
for the growth OF bacteria. That oys-
tiers by the agency of contaminated
water will convey pathogenic bacteria
to the human body has been concIu-
sively proved, and it is probable that
other shell fish share like property.
Thus 1t will be seen that in eating and
drinking care should be observed both
by those who travel and in lesser
degree by those who stay at home.
Those who require their bodily health
improved by pure and invigorating air
should be on their guard lest they tall
into death trap. Often the change
of air, regarded as necessity, is fraught
with danger, and the majority of peo-
pie would be safer in their healthy
homes, so long as they have no means
of insuring sanitary residence at the
place of their selection.

A Brave. Girl.
0ur Dumb animals.

Our Dumb animals.
1t hardly seems possible that a girl
OF sixteen should save nearly fifty peo-
pie from terrible death, yet that is
what Grace Russell did. Her father
was one of the first settlers near the
Swan river in Western Australia. She
used to help4in many ways, would ride
twenty miles day with the cattle, and
was as much at home in the saddle as
she. was in the kitchin. Now, it hap
pened one day in December that YES
sci was wrecked off the coast, about
eight miles from Bussel's home. The
steamboat sprang leak, and not be-
ing far from land, the captain tried to
steer her in. But she ran aground,
and there she stayed, with the water
gradually flowing into her. The life
boat which was on board the steamer
was lowered, but it leaked and eight
people who ventured in it were drown
ed. The surf ran so wildly that none
dared to swim through it, and there
was not house or person in sight.
The girl of sixteen was riding along
with a native servant. She caught
sight of the vessel, and turning her
horses head toward the coast started
st quick gallop. When she reached
the sea she urged her horse into the an
CRY surf. She rode boldly on till she
reached the vessel. With much diff
Guilty she took some of the children in
her arms, and put them before her
on the saddle; then took women and
larger children. So she went backward
and forward four hours till all were
safe on land, the servant having ridden
in to bring out the last man. Tired
and wet as the girl was she had still
something more to do. Those fort,
eight people must have food and pre-
lection before night came on. So
Grace rode for help, but by the time
she had gone the eight miles, she was
so worn out that she tainted, and it
was some time before she could tell
what had happened. Her married sis
ter started off at once: with food and
wraps for the shipwrecked people, and
the next day they were all taken to Mr.
Bussel's home.
Grace we'll deserved the medal 81
the Royal Humane Society, which was
presented to her.
