Brave Private Finlay.

Private J. F. Finlay, of G Com
pany, First California, especially dis
tinguished himself in the capture of
Manila, writes the war correspondent
of the New York Sun. For such work
as this Englishmen get the Victoria
Cross Finlay is detailed to Major
Jones's transportation department as
interpreter. His mother was Mexi-
can, and he learned Spanish before
he did English. When ammunition
was sent forward Finlay was in
charge C the train. He had eight
carromatta loads of it, each CARO-
malta with native driver. He started
when the Spanish fire was hottest
and went straight up through the
open fields. The bullets buzzed and
whistled all about him. They ripped
through the tops of his carts, and one
of them hit one of his drivers in the
leg.
Finlay kept on as if he were going
after corn on pleasant afternoon un-
til he reached the old insurgent
trench. Then he halted his train and
went forward alone to find some one
from the Tenth Pennsylvania to whom
he could deliver the ammunition.
That last hundred yards into our
trench was what Captain O'Hara, a
grizzled veteran who has seen a-plenty
of hot work, called a every hot
place" 1t was swept incessantly by
Spanish bullets. But Finlay hunted
around until he found his man, went
back and got his carromattas, and
started forward. One of his ponies
was shot just in the rear Of our trench.
Finlay took it out of the cart and with
the native driver hauled the cart
along to it's place, delivered his cart
ridges, and started back.
On the way he found Captain Rich
ter lying in the field where he had
fallen. He jumped out of his CARO-
malta, put the Captain in, and started
on. Pretty soon he found another
wounded man. That one was picked
up, too, and back he went to camp.
Then he turned the wounded over to
the surgeons and got orders to take
ten carromattas to the front and bring
back the wounded. Back over that
bullet-swept field he went again, as
cool and unconcerned as if on drive
through Golden Gate Park, did his
work, brought in the wounded, and
turned in to get what sleep he could
before the hard days work began
soon after daylight.

Spain and the Philippines.

PARIS, by Cable. While the Span
ish and American peace commissioners
now stand upon the threshold of the
Philippine question, it seems probable,
in the light of this hour, that the
United States will take over the entire
archipelago. In 1897 Spain issued by
royal decree bonds in the sum of S40,-
600, 600, to which were pledged the re-
venues of the Philippines and to which
the Spanish national guarantee was
added. These $40, 900, 900 represent
the Philippine debt, which is entirely
outside of .he 800, 900, 900 Of the So
called Philippine and Spanish general
debt. The conditions also differ, the
Philippine debt having been created by
royal decree because the archipelago
was not parliamentary colony, while
the so-called Cuban debt was created
by law. The difference raises the
question of the non-responsibility of
the Philippines when removed from the
sovereignty under which its resources
were pledged. Some we'll informed
persons believe that Premier Sagasta
has determined to be rid of the Philip
pines, and would direct his commission
to sign treaty by. which the United
States should take the islands and as
suLe the $40, 600, 900 of debt.

it away. Bland, though shockingly

~ away hiohut ehoo0A SA~NS@@AoAJ
mauled, recommended his journey
next morning, leading the second
horse, as he was unable to ride. After
walking ten miles he again encamped,
and built scherm. The lion, which
must have followed him, rushed at
the scherm three times, finally leaping
over and taking the horse.
Bland walked on for over forty
miles; sleeping in trees at night, and
on the sixth day after he left The
wagons he was found by others of the
party. The wagons were thirty miles
away, and some ingenuity had to be
exercised to convey the injured man
back to camp. Eventually blankets
were folded on the back OF horse,
and Bland was laid on them, with his
feet towards the horses head. Two
men walked behind, holding up his
head, and one supported his feet.
Starting at eleven at night, the
party proceeded in this manner till
ten on the following morning, when
they came to water. All were ex-
hausted with fatigue, and were glad
when the wagons came up soon after
wards. An operation was afterwards
performed on Bland, who was doing
well when the letter was dispatched.

HObSon's Report.

Constructor Hobson in his report
before the board of naval bureau chiefs,
said that in his opinion the Colon and
Vizcaya could be raised and brought to
drv docks at New York or Norfolk at o
cost of $500, 600 for one and S4O0, 600 for
the other. Mr.. Hobson also gave the
bureau chiefs some information con-
cernlng the Reina Mercedes and tho
Merrimac. The former could be easily
raised, he believed, for it was apparent
that she had been only scuttled. The
Merrimac could be raised and he said
she must be removed from the mouth
of the harbor in some way.

Watchmakers' Signs.

A highly interesting story Is told to
account for the fact that almost every
wooden clock in America has its hands
painted to indicate the hour OF eight
cen minutes past eight. 1t is related
that most such watchmakers' signs
were originally MADE by one man, who
was at first in the habit Of painting
the hands to indicate any old or
young hour that struck his fancy when
he came to that part of the job. But
when President Lincoln was assassin
ated he conceived the idea of COM
memorating the event by recording
the hour and minute thereof upon all
his wooden timepieces, a custom ever
since ;perpetuated. There is some
thing striking and dramatic about this
notion of time standing still forever
after an event of such tragic signi6-
canoe. There is no doubt about the
fact that nearly all the wooden clocks
do indicate the hour of eighteen min
utes past eight--you can see that for
yourself. But if the clockmaker
thought he was thereby recording the
hour of the assassination his intelli-
cence was as wooden as his wares, for
President Lincoln was shot not at
eighteen minutes past eight, but at
about fifteen minutes past ten.

Couraoe Hroupht Him Fame.

Few men have had the distinction
of carrying a refractory tiger to its
cage on their shoulders, but doing
this made the, name and fame of a
celebrated animal trainer named Bidel.
AS he tells the story in book re-
Gently published, the big tiger es-
capped from its cage while the men,
agerie was filled with people. The
creature was known to be bad temp
cred and very dangerous, but, break
ing through the crowd OF frightened
men and women, the keeper tracked
the tiger to a neighboring blacksmith
shop. When he found the escaped
feline it was crouching in corner,
with eyes glaring and mouth snarling
viciously. Using a heavy whip that
he always carried while among the
animals, the keeper beat the tiger till
the creature began to howl and start
ed to run. Then, dropping the whip,
the keeper sprung to the beast, seized
it by the loose skin of the back and
neck, flung it on his shoulders and
ran to the cage. You can imagine
that the crowd in the menagerie was
astounded by the daring of the feat,
and Bidel was at once famous.

THE DISPENSARYS QUARTERLY REPORT.
Inspection Made by the Legislative Com.
mittee.

mittee.
Following is the report made to Gov
ernor Ellerbe by the legislative COM
mittee appointed to make quarterly
inspections of the books and business
of the State dispensary. From the re-
port it will be seen that during the
quarter $40. 900 has been paid into the
school fund and that the cash book
shows balance on hand OF
S6s, 655. rs.
To His Excellency, W. d. Ellerbe,
Governor:
Sir: The committee met on Wednes-
day, Oct 10th, 1898, and proceeded to
examine the books and financial trans
actions of the State dispensary for the
quarter ending Sept 30th, 1898.
The stock of liquors and supplies on
hand was taken on Oct 1st by Mr.. ID.
F. Efrd on the part of the committee,
and Messrs. j. b. Douthit and d. NJ.
Miles representing the board of con-
troll.
The amount of inventories taken ap-
pears upon the statement of the assets
and liabilities hereto attached-all
stock and supplies were actually ex-
hibited, counted and valued. We have
examined the original invoices of all
liquors and supplies purchased during
the past quarter and also sll vouchers
for disbursements made. We find the
books and entries therein correct.
The balance sheet for the quarter
ending Sept 30th and the statement Of
assets and liabilities and of profit and
loss were checked by the books. We
append to this report copies of the
statement, and also a copy of the
statement for the quarter,
The State treasurer's report shows
on Sept 30th balance of cash in State
treasury, S74, 659.97. The cash book of
the dispensary shows on that day $685.,
655. IS, difference of Sc, 004. % more in
the State treasury than was called for
by the books of the dispensary. This
difference is accounted for by the un-
paid checks issued previous to the 30th
of September, amounting to S6, 004. %.
We are very much pleased with the
new quarters of the institution. We
suggest that the State board Of control
al once Try duu mdhe soue aIiauEo-
ment with the railroads to receive goods
from the platform of the State dispen-
sary when shipments are less than car
Dad lots, so as to curtail expense OF
rayage.
We are glad to report that there are
no shortage accounts outstanding
against local dispensers for this quar-
ter. We also note that $40, 900 have
been turned over to the State treas
urer, during the past quarter, for the
school fund.
Respectfully submitted,

ONLY A BIRD.

Only bird-and yagraut boy
Fits a pebble, with boyish skill,
Into the folds OF supple sling:
Watch me hit him. I cam an WILL"
Whirr-and silence chill and sad !;
Falls like pail on the vibrant air,
From q birchen tree, whence shower OF
song
Has fallen in ripples everywhere.
Only bird-and the tiny throat,
With quaver and trill and whistle OF
flute
Bruised and bleeding and silent lies
There as his feet. Its chords are mute.
And the boy, with a loud and boisterous
laugh,
Proud OF his prowess and brutal skill,
Throws it aside with careless toss
"Only bird! 1t was made to kill"
Only bird-yet far away
Little ones clamor and cry for food
Clamor and cry and the chill OF night
Settles over the orphan brood;
Weaker and fainter the meanings call
For brooding breast that shall never
come;
Morning breaks DER lonely nest,
Songless and lifeless, mute and dumb!
