WAR AND MONEY.

Capital. at the least indication OF po-
litical or financial trouble, scuds for
its iron-bound hole behind combination
locks. When men are called upon to
ieopardize their lives for their country
gold invariably sneaks out of sight.
Concurrent with the presidents declar-
alton Of war capital took alarm, bust
ness largely adopted a hand to mouth
policy and investments in all new en-
terprises ceased. The cowardice of sold
handicaps all in times of national trou-
ble. whatever the character of that
trouble. But experience teaches that
the opportunities Of capital and of en-
terprise are never SO great as in war.
There is an enormous amount Of
money being hurried into circulation.
and the time to bid for share Of it is
while it is moving. Such vital interests
as those of the farmer. the railroads.
the manufacturers and the laborers
are fiourishing under those necessities
that come with war and the syupa-

patriotism makes Of every man at
home is that he show his faith in the
government and its stability by doing

THE PHILIPPINB PEOPLE.

Everything pertaining to the Philip
pines has become Of interest, not only
| their commercial value, the industries
and life Of it's present inhabitants. but
the history Of its original people, who
are supposed to have been the dark
commissioned race known as the Ne
gritos, from their color. The Philadel-
phia Record is taking particular inter-
est in collating facts, and it appears
that it is all a delusion that the natives
confine themselves to making Manila
hats, mats, rope and paper. Through
the islands are scattered $4,000 or more
of the original race. They are dwarfs,
with fat noses, full lips and frizzly
hair, and they have little way with
them of smoking cigars with the burn
ing end placed inside their mouths.
They are a wandering people, whom
the Malays have driven to the more in
accessible parts, from which they de-
scend to sell wax to the Chinese trad
ers in exchange for beteI and tobacco;
and the dog is their only domestic ami
NAL.
The Malay tribes form the bulk Of
the population, varying among them
selves in physical appearance; and first
place among them must be accorded
the Tagals. The people of this branch
dwell near the water on houses built on
piles and, though they are Catholics,
traces of their old faith and customs
abound. They have round heads, high
cheek bones, fattish noses, low brows
and large dark eyes, and theft favored
amusement is cock fighting. AS in
Spain, Mr. Cock is armed with steel
gaffs. They have a written language,
antedating the arrival of the Spaniards,
an alphabet Of their own of sixteen
letters, passion for music and drama
and a wonderful collection of native
lyric poetry.
Another Malay tribe, the Visyas, the
Spaniards in the fifteenth century
christened the Pintados, or Painted
CUES"
The Igorrotes are the wild tribes of
the Philippines, the name being loose
~ given to all the pagan mountain
tribes of Luzon. They differ from the
Malay tribes, showing what looks to be
traces of Chinese or japanese admiX-
ture. They are industrious agricultur-
lists, skillfully laying out their fields on
with artificial canals, in addition to
their fine work on metals.

Says a Mobile (Ala.,) correspondent:
Colonel Oppenheimer of the Second Texas,
seems to have taken a leaf out of the book
of the colonel of the Nineteenth Infantry,
who was side-tracked at Decatur while
bound for Mobile, and who proposed to
come on to Mobile If he and his men had
to walk, such being his orders.
Oppenheimer was ordered by Colonel
Skelly, of the regular army, to stop at
Jefferson barracks, New Orleans. He asked
by whose orders, and was told those OF
the quartermaster general. Oppenhelmer
said his original orders came from one
higher in authority, and he would obey
them, asking where was his transporta-
ton to Mobile
Colonel Sicily said he was not prepared
to furnish it.
Put that in writing" said Oppcnhei-
mer land 1 will order me a train"
That brought the transportation.
Now. how about rations; have you two
days rations for my men?'
The colonel said he had not.
Put that in writing, said the obdurate
Oppenheimer, land L will jump out into
this open market and get what 1 want,
and l will get my money back too"
1t is inferred that he got the rations,
and now the watchword in camp is, Put
that in writing"

Out at camp yesterday, says the Mobile,
Ala, Register, Captain r. w. Hearne of
the Third Texas, told a good story of how
he came to purchase a fine bunch of ba-
nanas several days ago. He said he was
in the city and met up with fruit i'm
porter, who is an old Confederate veteran
and, in the course of the conversation,
the veteran told of the high prices which
prevailed during the late war. Prices on
several different articles were quoted, and
Captain Hearne asked what a bunch OF
bananas, like a bunch in view of them,
would have brought during war times.
The veteran replied about 500, Confeder-
ate money, and Captain Hearae, who hap
pened to have a 800 Confederate bill in
his pocket, offered it for the bananas, and
the tender was accepted, and when the
exchange had been made the importer re-
turned to Captain Hearne $40 Confederate
money as change, so that the bunch of
bananas cost Captain Hearne $50 Confed-
crate money.
Captain Hearne's wife, who was Miss
Madge Williams, christened the battleship
Texas. when that vessel was launched in
1892, at Norfolk, Va.

Little THINGS of the War.

This is from the Indianapolis Journal:
The Second Regiment of Missouri Volun-
teers, in command of Colonel Chaffee.
passed through Indianapolis yesterday
morning on its way to Chickamauga- As
the train pulled slowly out the girls be-
gan the tactics of shaking hands with
each soldier leaning out of car window
as he passed The evolution met with its
usual success TO the girls in all instances
save one A girl about II years old. de-
scribed, Of course, as very pretty by those
who saw the incident, was shaking hands
with all the soldiers on her side OF the
train and as the last car rolled by she
raised her hand TO the man In the last
window. He took II and heartily pressed
it and as she withdrew he slipped OF
two rings which she wore. When she
came to from her risconcertion and called
to him to give back her rings the train
had gathered speed and was fast leaving
her behind. The soldier, holding the rings
high in the air, cried with an exultant
laugh: Goodbye, sweetheart; take care
Of yourself" hooking the expression that
the soldiers fair admirers are wont TO
use. The girl quickly left the station
when she saw that her rings were gone
irretrievably. and her name could not be
secured. One of the rings was set with
diamonds and worth probably s35. and the
other was plain gold band. 1t cannot be
stated whether or not either of the rings
signified an engagement. 1t was suggest
ed that. though 1t was a "good-humor-
ed theft, the girl would probably be in
clined to cheer for Spain until she is con-
soled for the loss of her jewelry.
