ARTISTIC HOMES.
2 How Great Manufactures Has Brought
4, S. b Them Within Reach Of All.

now . dre3t m0nufoCeur0T Has Brought:
Them Within Reach Of All.
Probably at no time in the worlds
history has so much attention been
paid to the interior decoration of
homes as at present No home. no
matter how humble, is without its
handiwork that helps to beautify the
apartments and make the surround
1ngs more cheerful. The taste of the
American people has kept pace with
the age, and almost every day brings
forth something new in the way Of a
picture, a draptng, piece Of furniture
or other form Of mural decoration.
One OF the latest of these has been
given to the world by the celebrated
artist, Muville, in series Of four
handsome porcelain game plaques.
Not for years has anything as hand,
some IN this line been seen. The sub
5ects represented by these plaques are
American Wild Ducks, American
Pheasant, American Quail and English
Snipe. They are handsome paintings
and are especially designed for hang
ing on dining-room walls, though
their richness and beauty entities them
to a place in the parlor Of any home.
These original plaques have been plr-
chased at cost OF $4,000 by J.. c.
Hubinger. Bros. Co.,. manufacturers of
the celebrated Elastic Starch, and in
order to enable their numerous GUS
toners, to become possessors of these
handsome works of art they have had
them reproduced by special process
in all the rich colors and beauty of
the original. They are finished on
heavy cardboard, pressed and en-
bossed' in the shape Of plaque and
trimmed with a heavy band of gold.
They measure forty inches in circum-
ference and contain no. reading matter
or advertisement whatever.
Until October Messrs. J. G. Hubin-
ger Bros. co: propose to distribute
these plaques free to their customers.
Every purchaser Of three ten-cent
packages Of Elastic Starch, fat-iron
brand, manufactured by J. G. Hubin-
ger Bros. Co., is entitled to receive
one OF these handsome plaques free
from their grocer. Old and new GUS
toners alike are entitled to the bene-
fits Of this offer. These plaques will
not be sent through the mail, the only
way to obtain them being from your
grocer. Every grocery store in the
country has Elastic Starch for sale. 1t
is the Oldest and best laundry starch
on the market, and is the most perfect
cold process starch ever invented. It
Is. the only starch made. by men who
thoroughly understand the laundry
business, and the only starch that will
not injure the finest fabric. 1t has been
the standard for a quarter of a cen
tury, and as an evidence of how good
it is twenty-five million packages were
. sold last year. Ask your dealer to
show you the plaques and tell you
about Elastic Starch. Accept no sub
stitute. Bear in mind that this offer
holds good a short time. only, and
should be taken advantage of without
delay.

at Singapore, and later to Consul Cen
eral Wildman, at Hong Kong.
An agreement was soon reached by
which he was permitted to 60 to the
Philippines. Upon his arrival he first
submitted his plans and wishes to
Admiral Dewey and; then proceeded to
organize his forces for active opera
tions. With the ammunition found IN
the arsenal, arms, secured from other
places and a few small field pieces, he
put several thousand men upon the
tracks Of the Spaniards. 81. =.
His scheme is to form a republic,
with himself as president, and in this
he tried to secure Admiral Dewey's
support. But, although the Americans
have received the insurgent leader
kindly, gave him two modern field
pieces, 300 rifles and plenty Of amfnuni-
tion,, Dewey has proved himself too
subtle a diplomat to commit either
himself or the government to any wild
scheme Fancy republic of some
100000 people, Of whom one-half are
savages, and the rest, not more than
about $4,000 excepted, with such civil
ization as Spain chose to 1mpart. OF
these 100000 not more than 2 per
cent can read. The Spaniards and
Filipinos-that is, natives Of the Phil
ippines of Spanish parents-number,
perhaps, 100000. To establish a re-
publican form Of government under
these conditions. would mean to plunge
them at once into barbarism.
And yet this is what Aguinaldo is
fighting for and which may cause a
clash of arms between him and the
United States forces. II they do come
together, however, the insurgent leader
will quickly learn that the methods OF
the United States troops are different
from the Spaniards and may soon find
himself with his arms tied before a
firing squad.
He has established himself in fine
house. at CaVite, where, surrounded By
his officers, he conducts the campaign
against the Spaniards..
He has modern desk, backed by a

his life has been one Of daring and
desperate deeds.
He was the leader in the last rebel
lion, but terms were finally made with
the Spaniards by which Aguinaldo and
his chief followers were paid an indem-
nifty Of 100000 on their leaving the
islands forever. All the insurgents
|. imprisoned got their freedom, and re-
forms were granted for which the ma
tiyes had asked.
Aguinaldo, with his companions, ex-
ecuted his part of the agreement by
leaving the Philippines, but the Span
iards paid only part Of the indemnity
and never carried out the promised re-
forms. Their chief object seemed to
be to get rid Of Aguinaldo. When,
therefore, Admiral Dewey destroyed the
Spanish squadron and blockaded Ma
Mia, Gen. Aguinaldo reported first to

AGIlNALD0'S AMBITION.
It Knows No Bounds and Like as Not He Will
Insist On Ruling the Philip
pine Islands.

The most perplexing question OF the
war with Spain is yet to be met. This
is the disposition of the Philippine is
lands and incidentally the disposition
Of Aguinaldo and his bands of insur-
gents. That the leader of the insur-
gents has been playing fast and loose
with Dewey since his return to Manila
on the Olympia has been fully demon
strated upon several occasions, and it
is a fact that for the past three weeks
he has been the chief cause Of concern
to both Admiral Dewey and Gen. Mer-
ritt. They have prepared themselves
for any trickery on the part Of Aguin-
aldo and have been keeping a close
watch upon him, in consequence of
which he had been so far kept in check.
But how long will he remain passive?
His declaration appointing himself die
tator was not received by Admiral
Dewey with the enthusiasm that the
insurgent leader hoped for. In fact, he
was rather put out by the way the ad-
miral took it. Since his declaration
he has been getting his forces together
and now has several thousand men
armed with Mauser and Remington
rifles, together with several hundred
thousand rounds of ammunition.
His forces are now at the very doors
Of Manila and daily and nightly the
roar of field artillery and magazine
rifles may be heard from the suburbs
of the city. So resolute has been the
steady advance that the water supply
is now in the hands of the rebels, who
at any moment have the power to leave
the garrison and the civilian popula-
tion without water. Aguinaldo is nc
fool. He knew he must get his arms
from the Americans. After securins
them he dropped his mask and became
openly insolent While he has kept
UP a friendly front he has issued secret
orders to his men not to permit thu
Americans to secure necessary horses
or other equipments.
Aguinaldo, who looks Hike a japan
ese, has been the cause Of more trou.
BILE TO Spain than probably any othe,
Of her subjects. At one time there
was an offer Of, $25. 900: for him dead Of
alive. Although but 26 years of age

DoolIn and sh. Thuuderbo1t.


p. Dooltn was a track-walker on the
Erie railroad. He attended a wake
one day shortly before it was time for
him to go on duty, with the lament
able result that early in the evening he
seemed ambitious to walk on both
sides of the track at once, says Har-
per's Magazine.
The 'Thunderbolt" express was due
to pass the Haskell road at 8:45. At
that time Doolin reached the road, but
the train did not appear. She was still
invisible at 8, and Doolin began to
worry about her in a maudlin way.
When she was twenty minutes late he
could control his anxiety no longer,
and began walking the track toward
her as fast as he could in his unsteady
condition.
The 'Thunderbolt'' meantime was
flying along at unusual speed. She
had been delayed by a trifling wreck,
and the engineer was making up lost
time. Suddenly lantern whirled like
a giant pinwheel in the gloom far
down tie track. The engineers face
whitened; the brakes ground into the
complaining wheels; the engine rocked
and E.trembled; passengers lurched in
their Seats and with hiss of air and
steam the "Thunderbolt'' stopped.
Dropping from his cab the trembling
engineer ran up to where P. Doolin
stood. 49,.
<''What-what's the matter?' he
gasped. 49,.
"Ye're late said Doolin. - 'Fwhat

A WONDERFUL STATE.
Points About California and Hen
Amiable People.
Plenty Of Rare slghts for tho Tourist
NAE ne must Pay Well 70 See Them
where the Zones Are Very
Close Together.

Take your average Californian and
you will find him to be an amiable
creature. Distance lends no enchant-
ment in his case. You have got to
meet the fellow on his own soil to get
thoroughly acquainted with him and
learn to admire all the good traits he
has stored away in his well-nourished
frame. There is nothing mean or
small about the average Californian,
says the Chicago Herald. He lives
well, sleeps we'll and dresses in good
taste. He likes legitimate sport and is
keen critic at the theater. He doesn't
nourish throbbing love for China
men, and he looks with suspicion on
bank notes and gold and silver certifi-
Gates. He prefers to collect and pay
his debts in coin, and considers penny
as sort of tramp in our monetary sys-
tenn.
It rains in San francisco during the
winter months-not every day, per-
haps, but possibly nine or ten times .
week. But the average Californian
doesn't appear to notice the precipita-
ton until he meets q friend from the
east. Then he begins to apologize
something after this fashion;
"How do you like this country?
Ever in California before9 This rain
IS something unusual Thursday was
as clear as bell. Sorry it is 30 disa-
greeable. Spring is quite as backward
this year as some merchants l know
are in their payments" Then you
laugh and stoop to let the water run
off your hat.
But" the average Californian will
continue, "this fog in the morning
means clear afternoon. Never knew
1t to fail. VIII you bury your beak in
a glass OF wine?"
There is the apologize humanitarian
for you. You can find him almost
anywhere in San Francisco. He knows
that fogs and transforms are as preva-
lent in his Town turing the months of
November, December, January and
February as they n a the web-footed
state of Oregon. Yet when approached
by the tourist he manifests the most
acute establishment at such climatic
eccentricities. So thoroughly addicted
is the average Californian to this harm
less and amusing form OF tergiversa'
ton that he at once impresses you
with the belief that he actually thinks
he is telling the truth, and that the
doleful surprise he manifests is thor
oughly conscientious.

Wheat and Beets.

European experience sfows that
wheat Yields always increase after crop
OF beets; consequently, upon general
principles, beet cultivation, either be-
fore or after a crop OF wheat, offers
advantages. 1t does not necessarily
follow that the time to introduce beets
on farm is when wheat is selling high
or low; ii should be done at any and
all times allowance being made for Il
certain rotation), when the demand for
the roots exists ut the factory These
acts are mentioned simply to answer
several remarks made 10y correspondents
who urge that farmers should avail
themselves of agricultural depressions
for the introduction of new crops. The
demand for the supply must exist,
otherwise the crop cannot be disposed
OF. 9eets, when contracted for in
advance, enable the farmer to live under
conditions OF repose of mind thai cereals
never allow, and gives all the adj
vantages that crops in general offer and
none of the disadvantage Sugar
