I were originally supposed to have come | from the surrounding islands and to | have mixed with the native tribes and l the captives. They present a peculiar appearance, for in no two of the tribes in which the Moros are to be found do the people look alike. All shades and colors are to be found among them from the black men, who resemble the in- habitants of New Guinea, to the red brown of the Tagals. They are pow erful people, brave and very warlike, and would rather fight than eat. From the treatment they have received at the hands of the Spaniards they are suspicious and do not take kindly to foreigners. They hate the Spaniards and other Christians who live in the islands, and they feel it Is a com- mendable act to dispatch a Christian, especially if he be a Spaniard. Some of the men of the tribes have taken oath that they will spend their time in killing these people. They will not trust foreigner, and they are in turn not to be trusted.
 Spain has tried to keep firearms and ammunition out of their hands, but this, like many other things the dons have undertaken, has proved unsuccessful.
 
 and equipped with modern weapons. They do not, however, handle them well and depend more upon their native arms in battle. They are provided with fine implements of destruction of their own make. The principal of these is the barong. It is similar to a butchers cleaver with heavy blade. It is said that an expert tribesman can cut a man in half with one blow from this instrument Besides this they use the creese, which is double edged sword. 1t was with this class of weapon that they would swoop down from the hills on the Spaniards and massacre them. All males over 16 are armed and in- structed in the use of the barong and creese. The natives forge their own spear and arrow heads and do exceptionally fine work. The way they temper the spearheads and swords Is really won- derful. They are very artistic, too, some of the spearheads being inlaid with gold and silver, while the handles are beautifully carved.
 The Moros do not live like the tribes of the interior. They are natural born pirates and have dwelt on the coast for centuries. They build their houses on piles over the sea and have their boats kept at the door of their huts that they may be ready for use at short notice.
 General Juan Arolas, formerly gov- ernor general of the Philippines and re- gently military governor of Havana, is the only man that Spain ever sent to the islands who could subdue the Min danaos. He attacked them in their own stronghold at Maibun and cowed them as they were never cowed before. It is not unlikely that the United States, if Uncle Sam should conclude to hold the Philippines, will have some trouble with these people. and close watch will have to be kept on them as they are likely at any time to make an attempt to return to the evil practices of their forefathers.

Bad Record Risks

Numbers of life insurance companies are
collecting statistics showing the mortality
among what are known as bad record
risks" The effort will be to discover wheth-
er men of bad family records live under or
over the general average; whether the pre-
vailing idea as to the value of such risks
is supported by the experience of the larg-
est companies. Records of cases of the fol
lowing diseases are being kept: Haemop-
tysis, rheumatism, otorrhoea, renal collie or
oalouli, hip-joint disease, asthma, over
weight. underweght, sugar In urine,
albumen In urine, syphilis consump-
tive family record Zone parent or
two members Of immediate family,
oonsumptive family record other than
above, appendicitis, apoplexy Immediate
family, cancer, Kelley graduates.
One of the medical directors In charge of
the movement said: "These statistics will
be most valuable, ana will result either in
greater or less leniency being shown by
the companies in treating cases coming un-
dor the classes on which we are working.
We all know that men are not immortal
and must die, and think It Is wise to ascer-
tain how long men stricken with these dis
eases live. BY the actuaries' table, a man
20 years Of age has an average duration of
life of 1915 years. He may live to be 60, and
he may live but week longer, but the av-
erage Is 3S.15. Now, II a risk afflicted with
appendicitis lives more than 35.15 years
after his twenty ninth birthday, why should
he not be a good life risk? II the average
of this class is only a few years lease on
life, these risks should be declined We do
not Insure many risks Of this chara cter, but
when the experience of all the companies
In the movement is collected, each class
Will have large enough representation to
make statistics from which to draw salts
factory conclusions"

SYMPATHY WITH SMITH
The Old Boys at the Home Deplore the
Tragedy

SOLDIERS HOME, Dot. 3.-News at the
home seems to have concentrated itself
into inquiries as to the state Of health and
chances OF the recovery Of the governor.
All opinions of at least the sane members
seem to be merged in horror at the BASTARD
ly attempt of a desperate crank to destroy
a valuable life. Every intelligent member
of the home must admit the many sub
stant.al improvements that have been car
ried out through Governor Smiths able
management, the first of which Is the abun-
dant supply Of pure and sweet water, then
the clean and attractive appearance Of the
various company quarters. and the wards
no longer crowded as they used to be-
Again, every one must admit the great
Improvement In the laundry, for the gar
ments are now thoroughly cleaned. The
Kitchen bakery and, IN fact every depart
ment of the home has had the governors
constant supervision.
The picnic of the John A. Martin post
G. A. R., of the home, for which the oom-
mittee had made great preparations, has
been indefinitely postponed, as was also
that of the Sunday School society at the
home.
Sunday morning the captains. of the va
rious companies at the regular inspection
read circular from Major Uphnm, the
treasurer and acting governor, deprecating
and forbidding some harsh criticisms that
had been made by some of the members on

Samuel Stratton, late first lieutenant of
Company H, Fifth California infantry. and

The city tax rate was fixed a the special

clmen, except Mr.. Venting, who was alb

cept, of course, Objector Weile, who stood
out in a grand stand play to the gallery

HORTICULTURAL COMMISSION
ERS MAKE A REPORT
What Has Been Done by Fumigation
in San Bernardino County Dur
ing September

SAN BERNARDINO, Oct. 3-The month
ly report of the horticultural commission
was handed in to the board Of supervisors
today which showed the following as the
expenses for the month of September The
salaries of commissioners, $175; salaries of
inspectors, sz225O; paid out for chemicals,
s2s16; miscellaneous expense, $14S0S; maxi
Ing the total for the month, s3S61.5S. The
sum of $931.14 was received from the Or
chardists for fumigation, which was paid
into the county treasury.
The fumigation Of orchards at Ontario
was commenced September l with three
complete outfits in the field and al fourth
was added on September 5. The new tents
were painted and had the gaspipes at
tached by September 10. and at that date
the complete five outfits Of las tents were
at work in the field. BY us.nsi Al vessel
with each outfit of 80 bell-tents the force
was able to inject gas over five acres of
trees in a night with each crew. Under the
system in vogue three years ago it took
four nights TO fumigate ten acres of trees.
About 500 acres were fumigated the past
month, or about half the entire year S
work OF last season, and between four and
five tons of cyanide have been used. All
Of the orchards known to be infested with
the red scale were included in this acre
age. A yellow scale has been found in
three orchards which will be disinfected.
System and vigilance is required to get the
best possible results in fumigation, and
Prof. Cook, one of the best authorities IN
Southern California, stated in public re-
Gently that the best results he had ever
seen from fumigation he found at Ontario.
Plants end shrubs from Florida and 9TH
er outside points received during the month
have been inspected and where necessary
dis.nfected. Vedalia have been supplied in
orchards found infected with the white
scale.
