For school Children.

A clergyman recently, address
ing those who criticise others while
they themselves are open to criti
cism, told this story: When /
was boy we had a schoolmaster
who had odd ways of catching idle
boys. Said he, one day: Boys, l
must have closer attention to
books; the first one of you that
sees another boy idle want you
to inform me, and will attend to
the case.' 'Ah,' thought I to my
self, there's Joe Simmons, that I
don't like; I'll watch him, and if /
see him look off his book I'll tell
on him. 1t was not long until l
saw Joe look off his book, and i'm
mediately / informed the master.
Indeed said he, how did you
know he was idlef' i saw him, ;
was the reply. You did. And
were your eyes on your book when
you saw hi1nf' I was caught, but
I didn't watch for the boy again. y

Grand Circuit Races.

Fort Wayne, Ind, Aug. 10.-To-day's grand circuit races developed some sur- prises, but the favorites won in three events. The track was in excellent condition and the weather balmy and clear. Battleton was a hot favorite in the 2:1S trot and won the first two heats. Garston, who had acted badly, pushed to first place in the third heat and won the two heats following. Air ship took the three-year-old pace in straight heats and was hard pressed only in one heat by Baker H. Lady of the Manor, a prime favorite in the bet ting pools won out in straight heats in the 2:24 pace, making the fastest time in that class for the season. There were ten starters in the two-year-old trot for the Horse Review stakes of S7,500 Rita E., the favorite, took the first heat, with Ima Electric pushing close for first place. In the second heat Crystalline took first place, with Rita B. a close second, but in the third heat Rita broke badly at the quarter and was distanced.

TAX ON STOCK cERT1FTcArEs.
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue
 Makes Ruling.

Washington, Aug. 10.-The commits sioner of internal revenue has made the following ruling in regard to the tax on certificates of stocks: "The inten- tion of the law was to tax original is- sues of certificates of stock, and to im- pose tax upon every change of oWn- ership. When stock is transferred, for which no certificate has been issued and the evidence of transfer is shown only by the books of the company, the stamps shall be placed on such books. Where the change of ownership is by the transfer of certificate, and the certificate contains blank form of as- signment on the back which is filled in by the insertion of the name of the person to whom the stock is trans ferred, the stamp shall be placed upon the certificate. In cases of an agree ment to sell, or where the transfer is by the delivery of the certificate, sign- ed In blank, the name of the transferee or vendee to be filled in afterwards, there shall be made and delivered by the seller to the buyer, a bill or memo randum of sale, to which the stamp should be affixed. Where certificates of stock are stock tax has been paid, and stamps affixed in the manner stated, when the transfer is made on the books of the company from the name of the party selling to the name of the pur- chaser, no stamps are required on the new certificates issued in lieu of those cancelled"

TROOPS FOR THE PHILIPPINES.
1000 Soldiers Now at San Francisco to
 be Transported.
pines--Americam Consul Notified.

Washington, Aug. 10.-General Mer- ritt's force in the Philippines is to be increased by the 1000 troops now at San Francisco, which will be sent as soon as transportation can be obtained. Secre- tary Alger says that with the men all ready arrived and on the sea, together with 2,000 which are to leave San Fran cisco soon, General Merritt will have a force of 1S,000 and there will be no hur- ry for the authorization of the remaind- CT of the troops. The department has had an offer of two ships to transport the troops, but considered the price asked excessive, and it Is probable that the return of the transports that first went to Manila will be awaited. The secretary to-day cabled General Mer- ritt, asking him when it was expected the transports would return to San Francisco, and if they are likely to reach that point within three weeks, their return will be awaited, as it will take at least that length of time to get new transports in readiness to carry troops.

 md strangIes Her Mother.
 New York, Aug. 10-There were sen sational developments to-day during the examination of Mrs. Amelia Cornell on the charge of perjury. Mrs. Cornell was arrested in Saratoga on Friday last on complaint of Guy H. Rey- holds, who is Fayerweather heir. charging her with perjury in the suit of Mrs. Lillian Reynolds, Klaupman vs. Reynolds, for the annulment of their alleged marriage. Mrs. Cornell then testified that she was witness to the marriage ceremony between Reynolds and Lillian Allen in Saratoga on May 31, 1883.
 Mrs. Cornell, mother of Mrs. Klaup- man, was the first witness to-day. Lawyer Charles L. Brooke, attorney for Reynolds, asked her if Mrs. Cornell knew of the relationship between her daughter and Klaupman before her marriage to the latter. At this Mrs. Klaupman dropped her child into the arms of her husband, sprang up and ran the length of the table separating her from Lawyer Brooke and exclaim- ing: You beast" slapped him full in the face. Then turning toward her mother, she screamed How dare you,'' and seizing her by the throat swayed her head from side to side, as if to strangle her.
 Officers seized Mrs. Klaupman and tore her away from her mother. The magistrate then ordered Mrs. Klaup- man placed under arrest for contempt of court on two charges, first for as- saulting the lawyer and second for as- saulting her mother. The skin on Mrs. Cornell's throat was torn by the violent grip of Mrs. Klaupman. She was led from the stand to a chair, bleeding and weeping hysterically. As soon as or der had been restored the magistrate ordered the examination to proceed

Americans Checked at the Cuyon River Where the Spnniards Had Blown Up the Bridge-American Troops Shelled From Mountain but Held Their POstfiOn.
Position.

Copyright, 1S9S The Associated Press.l
 Coamo, Porto Rico, Aug. 10, 10 m, via Ponce.-Troop c of New York pursued a party of fleeing Spanish engineers after the capture of Coamo yesterday a distance of four miles along the road to Aybonito. The Americans were checked at the Cuyon river where the Spaniards had blown up the bridge, and were shelled from a Spanish battery on the crest of Asoniante mountain. The dismounted cavalry returned the fire, receiving no damage and holding the position. A battalion of the Third Wis consin volunteers came to their SUD- port.
 To-day General Wilson's column is resting, repairing the bridge and recon noitering the enemys position. There are formidable gorges on either side, and the Spanish works are on the crests of mountains commanding the road. The Spaniards have several guns mounted, among them two machine guns sent back into the country from the torpedo destroyer Terror at San Juan. These positions it will be diffi- cult to flank All the men wounded in yesterdays fighting will recover.

NAVY PREPARING FOR PEACE.
Reduction of Naval Establishnient-To Retire Monitors First.

Washington, Aug. 10.-The naval off, cers have made up their mind that peace is at hand and are planning for a. reduction of the naval establishment to a peace basis. The first steps to be taken will be the retirement of the monitors, from active service. They are uncomfortable craft to live in and af- ford the men little opportunity for gen. eral training. Another matter which has received attention is the promo tions to be accorded to officers who have distinguished themselves during the hostilities. A step was made in this direction to-day by the submission to the president of recommendations by the secretary of the navy for the ad- vancement of all of the officers of Sampson's fleet who distinguished themselves. It was announced some time ago that board would be ap- pointed to decide on all promotions to be recommended, but for some reason this plan seems to have been abandon ed, so far as some of the chief officers were concerned.

West India Weather Service.

Washington, Aug. 10.-The West In- dia weather service was practically in- augurated to-day when the Washing ton office received reports from six of the ten observation stations recently established there. Professor Willis L. Moore stated tonight that the system is now in complete working order and the department will be enabled to fore cast the terrible West Indian hurri- canes that for years have swept the Atlantic coast without warning. The whole group of islands has been plot ted and meteorological conditions are chartered daily at the recently estab- lished stations. It was feared that the West Indian service might be hampered by delays in the cablegrams, but Pro- lessor Moore stated that the reports to-day reached the Washington office within one hour and half after the observations were made.

ITALY AND COLOMBI4.
Colombian Congress Reported as Au- aharautnu I9a unae.,t af fIerruti f.I. i.,


 thorizing Payment of Cerruti Claim.
 Colon, Colombia, Aug. 10, via Calves ton, Texas.-Advices received from Cartagena to-day say that the Italian consul there, who has just returned from Bogota, reports that the Colom- bian congress has authorized President Caro- to settle the Cerutti claim. The necessary supplementary vote was ac- cordingly added to the budget, which was passed with the best grace. The matter is, therefore, practically settled, only the manner and details of pay ment remaining to be fixed. It is un- derstood that the good offices of the British, French and German ministers at Bogota helped to effect the settle ment. This report, through the Ital- ian consul there, is confirmed through two other sources. The Italian cruiser Calabria is expected here to-day with dispatches. The Carlo Alberto is still at Cartagena, while the Umbria and the Giovanni Bausan are at Curacao and the Piemonte is at Barbadoes.
