P. R. R ELEVATOR BREAK DOWN.
Novel Continuance for Overcoming
the Trouble.

The engine which operated the baggage
elevators in the Pennsylvania Railroad
station, at the foot of Exchange place,
broke down last Saturday and stopped
the running of the elevators. For a time
all the baggage had to be carried up and
down the stairs, from the station to the
street, to the anne 4nce of the passengers
and the disgust of the porters who had
to carry the trunks and valises. Today
the difficulty was overcome. Inclined
plains were run up the elevator shafts
and the incoming baggage was shot
down one of these while the outgoing
baggage was piled on a four-wheeled
truck which was hauled up by a horse.
The engine will be repaired tomorrow.

It's Crusade Against Betting Through

It's Crusade Against Betting Through
out All England.
The Salvation Army seems to be en-.
tering on new crusade. An announce
ment published by General Booth con-
tains the following:
Public betting is generally looked up
on as vulgar habit, an infamous Of
Tense against society and a deadly sin
against God, and that women should
fall SO low as to become open gamblers,
Turing, for a little paltry gain, the
young and ignorant to their present and
everlasting undoing, is horrible to con-
template. Yet SO it is, and the vice is
spreading, and the army must rush to
the rescue. So, my comrades, form
yourselves into brigades and 60 with
plying hearts on your Christianlike
errand. In London, we are told, the
women who gamble do SO quietly. Bar
maids, having such favorable opportuni-
ties, are, it is said, among the most as
siduous gamblers. It is il the north of
England, however, that the evil is said
to be most rampant, women there devel-
oping gambling mania equal in its in
tensity and evil effects to that of the
men.
Stockton on-Tees and Middlesborough
have made strenuous effort to put the
practice down, but it is still fragrant
and unblushingly open. Back streets in
Newcastle are sown at no very distant
intervals with bookmakers. Walking
along, the passerby hears men accosting
others with invitations to "have a bit
of so and Co." Women seem to be their
chief customers. = y At Stockton, on
the quay, there is place known among
the people as the "betting ground.
Crowds Of women jostle the men and
laugh at the police. Near by are streets
of lodging houses, where most of these
women live, spending their time in
drinking and discussing "the odds. ="

YANKEE COURTS IN MANILA
Their Work Wins Praise Even From
Spanish Newspapers.

Their Work Wins Praise Even From
Spanish Newspapers.
General Otis, at Manila, has issued a
| general order redefning and altering
| the powers of the provost court and
| creating an inferior provost court. The
| latter is to be presided over by Captain
Thomas r. Hamer of the First Idaho,
and it is designed to dispose of all the
minor cases and relieve the pressure at
the higher court, of which Colonel
Charles Jewett. the ranking judge adj
vocate, is the judge.
The re-establishment of the Spanish
courts is vexed question, and it seems
impossible to accomplish their organiza-
ton on satisfactory basis. The ques-
ton of jurisdiction and the rights of the
two peoples at issue will be very hard
to determine. The Spanish courts are
in VIGOROUSLY bad odor, while the pro-
vost court is one of the few things
American that the Manila papers have
praised. The administration of justice
in the Philippines has ever been farce
and succession Of crimes, and the
courts have even been suspected and
instructed. A majority Of the people
do not want the Spanish courts re-
esta blished unless as a necessity for the
preservation of property, the perpetual
tion of title or the protection Of rights.
Colonel Jewett is a lawyer of ability,
with keen sense of justice, and has
won the admiration of the people who
have had to deal with him. He ha
leanings toward the natives, yet his Sc
we're sentences broke up the recruiting
offices and alleged courts established by
Aguinaldo in the city. Should Luzon
be retained, Jewett will be put forward
for judicial appointment there, but it is
improbable that he would accept, as he
is anxious to return to the United
States.-Martin ]. Egan in San Frao-

PACAWAN ISLAND.
Selected by Naval Experts For Our
Asintic Naval Station.

Selected by Naval Experts For Our
Asiatic Naval Station.
Palawan, the long island which lies
at the gate of the East Indies and which
our naval experts have selected for the
Asiatio naval station of the United
States, is the object Of much interest
just now because some of the Europeans
contend that the Spaniards have no title
to it. Although some 800 miles long, it
is very narrow. At some places it is
only five miles between the two coasts.
1t is covered with magnificent forest
of great value. Like most of the Philip
pines, it has central mountain chain,
extending in the direction of its greatest
length. The only civilized settlement is
a penal colony at Puerto Princessa, the
capital, with military garrison. There
is fine harbor, and the town is sur
rounded by fertile country.
Three tribes of natives inhabit Pala-
wan-the Moros, who are Mohamme
dams; the Pattacks, who roam in the
north, and the Tagbanaus, who occupy
the central portion near the civilized
elements and are said to be very intelli-
gent and superior class of Malays. They
practice agriculture SO far as necessary
and have houses made of bamboo poles
and palm leaves. But most of their time
is spent in the forest hunting, fishing
and searching for wild honey. Each
tribe has local government presided
over by petty magistrate, and the Office
is hereditary. The affairs of each COM
munity are directed by council of eld-
ers, who administer justice according
to their own ideas. The Spaniards have
never attempted to civilize them, al
though few missions have been estab-
lished by the priests. William E. Cur

breakfast Beveraxes.

Persons who cannot eat heartily in
the morning are common enough, but
the woman who enjoys neither coffee,
tea nor chocolate before luncheon is an
oddity. She has been making inquiries
among her friends and has come to the
conclusion that originality and ingenu-
ity are at a low ebb when suggestions
for breakfast beverages are in demand.
Alkathrepta, cocoa and broma, lime
juice and water, lemonade, barley wa
ter and oatmeal water have been vari-
ously advised as substitutes for the
usual drinks that cheer the early break
faster. Milk is out of the question, as
the puzzled woman declares she would
rather drink liquid quinine, and none
of the other beverages appeals to her. At
the present writing she feasts on baked
apples and rolls. with drafts Of apclll-
1aris. But this is hardly a pleasant oiet
