Washington. Sept 19.-Ihe officials at
the State and War Departments well
coined the notice sent to the American
people drought the Associated Press of
the falsity of the stories describing the
friction between the Filipinos and the
American forces in LuZon. While the
officials did not care to discuss the mat
ter for publication, it was evident that
the main source of their satisfaction
was the internal evidence contained in
the document that Aguinaldo had profit
ed by the warnings of the American
commanders, and had gracefully receded
from the arrogant attitude assumed by
him lust before General Merritt left
Manila for Paris.
The Navy Department is rushing prep
arations for the start of the big battle
ships Oregon and Iowa to Honolulu,
and orders have been sent to the New
York Navy yard to have the mechanics
work overtime on these ships. The pur-
pose is to have them start on their long
voyage by the end of the present month,
and according to the Department calcu-
lations they would arrive at their des-
tination by the end of January. There
is little effort now to conceal the fact,
that the Department will have the ships
met at Honolulu by dispatch boat
with orders to turn their proWs west
ward to Manila.
Battleships Of this character are now
needed to keep the Filipino insurgents IN
order, and their assembling at Manila

forced to abandon her desire to enter
the church Of the fathers; but they
sat upon the steps. the odd young pair,
and talked of the past. The little boy
was not much of a historian; Faith
did not put implicit confidence in his
tales Of Father de Smet, who was dead
that at least was true-and of Father
Josette, who was still of the living.
She knew, perhaps, quite as much about
the history of the ''old church" as he
did, born in its shadow. But there
were other subjects of contemporaries

he could offer her few surprises. He
had gathered that he was talking with
no less parsonage than the young
lady of the Big Horn, and, for rea-
sons which we know, the name Of her

of the union with the fullest faith in

he had seen her consorting with scabs
So he poured forth his tale without
hesitation-to behold her stare at him
in incredulous horror!
What was this he was saying? she
demanded; but the child drew back,
and would not repeat his words. He
had made a very great mistake; he
now became confused, distrustful and
unhappy; they were no longer COM

Faith sought an opportunity later,
when they were out of hearing of the
other prisoners, to repeat the child's
astounding confidence to Mr.. Casson.
do you think such thing could
possibly be true?" she cried, excitedly.
"Why, you may say, after what we've
seen, that anything is possible" Mr..
Casson began, guardedly. There's bad
men everywhere, and in time like this
they naturally get bold, like thieves at
fire; but it's thing the union lead
ers would try to prevent, I'm sure, if
they got wind Of it. They have the
whole thing in their hands now, and
whatever happens, the blame of it lays
at their door. They have done the

to. They can't afford to let such thing

A BABEL IN AUSTRIA.
There Are Many Widely Different
Tongues Spoken In the
Various Provinces.

In the Austrian Alps the local dialects
so vary as to be unintelligible from one
district to another, and yet have been
cultivated in passion plays and popular
poetry. Over and above these dialects
are scattered-chiefy in lower Aus
tria, but even round Vienna-Slav COL
onies, Czechs. Slovaks. Croats. In Vien-
ma itself the Czechs claims to be $780,
600. Slovenians spread over three
crownlands - Syria. Carinthia and
Carniola-and dominate in the last.
which contains also Uscoks, Roman
Catholic Serbs. but the Slovenians seem
to be retreating before the Germans.
OF these remarkable group occurs in
the barren Gottschee country, SOUTH
east of Laybach, only inhabi,e since
the fourteenth century. Here again wc
find dialect unintelligible to other
Germans, yet rich in tales and poetry.
Strange to say, the reawakening of the
Slovenian race in the course of the last
hundred years seems to have been de-
termined by the first Napoleon, schools

in number) by Slovene and called forth

the Italians got the upper hand, but
seem now to be becoming gradually
outnumbered by the Germans. The
Ladins form curious little group Of

THE EYEBROWS.
These Expressive Features Are 1eFo
Generally Neglected Than

Poets and artists may continue to exc

age woman pays little heed to 1t, and
beyond an occasional smoothing with
her finger leaves uncared for one of the
incest and most particular portions OK
her facial toilet. Like all other points
of beauty, this little pen stroke of ma
ture varies greatly with the individual.
but as a usual thing one is endowed
with just about the right brow to har-
monize with the features, and little
judicious care is all that is necessary to
enhance this touch, which goes SO far
to make or to mar the entire facial ex-
preston. When. however, the forma-
ton of the eyebrow is decidedly at
fault, we have recourse to ortifice to
help out the deficiency or obliterate its
homeliness. The eyebrow should ex-
tend slightly beyond the orifice of the
eye at either end, should terminate in
a mere line toward the temple and be
slightly broader toward the nose. Upon
the breadth, the arch and the shade de.

not be preponderated by broad brows,
while those which are large and strong

accentuate their force. The brow 10
