J. w. Bailey, the old man who was
charged with attempt to outrage the little
Pratt girl, in Westlake park Sunday night,

charge of attempting criminal assault, his

set for next Monday. Pending his exam
nation the charge Of battery will be held

Thousands havo tried from time imme-
mortal to discover some efieacious remedy
for wrinkles and other impcrfections of
the complexion, but mono had yet sue
ceeded until the Misses Bell, the now fam
Gus Complexion Specialists, of 7s Fifth
Avenue, New York City, offered the pub
lie their wonderful Complexion Tonic.
The reason so many failed to make this
discovery before is plain, because they have
not followed the right principle. Balms,
Creams, Lotions, ETC., never have tonic
effect upon the skin, hence the failures.
The Misses Bells Complexion Tonic has
most exhilarating effect upon the cuticle,
absorbing and carrying off all impurities
which the blood by its natural action is
constantly forcing to the surface of the
skin. 1t is to the skin what q vitalizing
tonic is to the blood and nerves, kind of
new life that Immediately exhilarates and
strengthens wherever applied. Its tonic
effect is felt almost immediately. and it
speedily banishes forever from the skin,
freckles, pimples, blackheads, moth
patches, wrinkles, liver spots, roughness,
oiliness eruptions, and discolorations of
any kind.
In order that all may be benefited BY
their Great Discovery, the Misses Bell will,
during the present month, give to all call

RACES IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Descendants of the COnquerIng Ma
lays Are the Most in
Evidence.

Of the seven million inhabitants of
the Philippines, very few of them are
Spaniards, less than one-fortieth of
them live in Manila and about one
seventh of the entire population are
believed to be unconquered natives.
Among the natives are found repre-
sentatives of seven distinct races. The
aborigines were probably the Negritos,
a diminutive, dark-hued race, with fea-
lures resembling the American negro.
They are still found in limited num-
bers, harmless, nomadic people, very
fond of the dog and of cigar, which
they frequently :moke with the light
ed end in the mouth.
The aboriginal people were grad
ually conquered and driven into the in
terror by invading Malays, whose de-
scendants now form a large proper
tion of the population. The Tagals
and lgolotes are the most important
of the Malay tribes, the latter be
ing law-abidiny and devoted to agri-
cultural pursuits. The Tagals, with
more war-like prOpensities, occupy the
lowlands, living near the water in pic
turesque. elevated huts. They are in
full possession of the interior of Min
danao, where under the sovereignty
of their own sIltans they are free to
c JOY the cock-t2ht, dancing and mu-
sic, for which they seem % have great
aptitude. They Lave strongly stockad-
e. villages on the mountain sides. and
while they acknowledge the suzerainty
of Spain they do not pay taxes nor per-
NIT Spanish officials to reside among
them.
Besides these Two races there are
in the Philippines Malay Indians and
native Caucasians with a large number
of Chinese and Mestizoes The laZiness
of the ratives in times of peace is pro-
verbal, but this is not to be wondered
at when we know that nature has fur
niShed the islands with a wealth of
vegetation which may be used for food.
Their Incidence is probably increased
by the climate, which is hot and en-
ervatin9. The heat is. however,
greatly moderated by alternating land
and sea breezes, and more healthfuI
climate is unknown in tropical coun-
tries.--John A. Osborn, in Chautau-

Commodore Bradford's business to see
that loaded colliers were on hand

been quite as valuable as those of the

months his party had to live upon a
scant allowance of food brought from
Fort Conger; that cached at Payer
Harbor and Cape Isabella by Sir
George Mares, in 1875, but found much
damaged by lapse of time; that cached
by Beebe at Cape Sabine in 1882, and
small amount saved from wreck of
the Proteus, in 1888, and landed by
Lleuts. darlington and Colwell on the
beach where Greely's party was found
camped. When these provisions were
consumed the party was forced to live
upon boiled strips from their sealskin
clothing, lichens and shrimps, pre-
served in good weather when they
were strong enough to make eXertion,
AS 1900 shrimps were required to fill

hausting to depend upon them entirely

COMMODORE SCHLEY
One of the Most Daring Officers in
the American Navy.
Ris Rescue of the Greedy Expedition
Was n brilliant Feat, and So
Was His Firmness at
Valparaiso.
Especial Washington Letter. !

The newspapers have recently been
saying great deal about Commodore
Schley; and many people are becom-
ing interested in his history. The name
is pronounced SHY"
Commodore Schley has been in the
navy almost ever since the civil war
and was made commodore less than
two years ago. He became a captain
nearly 20 years ago, and was the COM
mander of the Trenton on her trim
around the world-the last trip around
the world made by any vessel of our
old wooden navy.
The hrst newspaper prominence
given to Schley was in 1884 when he
went to the relief of Greely, the arctic
explorer; man now holding a COM
mission as brigadier general in the
army, in charge of the signal corps.
In 1880 Lieut.. A. w. Greely, of the
Fifth United States cavalry, went north
under instructions of the chief signal
officer to take charge of the American
signal station at Lady Franklin bay.
Before his departure it was agreed and
arranged that relief expeditions should
be sent in the summers of 1882 and
1888, bringing stores of food and cloth
ing to the colony.
In 1882 an expedition was sent in
charge of Lieut.. Beebe, but it was fail
ure, and returned to The United States
with the information that Greedy and
his party had not been found.
Public interest was aroused in Greely
and his party at that time by constant
publications in the newspapers; and
finally public Indignation was aroused
TO such an extent that a second eXpedi-
ton was sent in 1888, under command

| June IS, after passage of 81 days in
Melvale bay, with the two advance
ships of the Dundee whaling fleet, and
continued to Cape Sabine. Returning
seven days later, fell in with seven
others of the fleet off Wostenholme is
land. Returning across from Melvae
| bay, fell in with the Alert and Lcch
| Garry off DEVILS Thumb, struggling
through heavy ice. The Greedy party
are very much improved since rescue,
but We're critical in the extreme when

them would have been fatal to all now
| living. The season north is late and
| the closest for years. Smiths sound
was not open when | left Cape Sabine.
| The winter about Melvale bay was the
most severe for 20 years"
The most significant part of this
story as told in that dispatch is the
sentence: "Forty-eight hours delay
in reaching them would have been fatal
to all now living" That shows the dis
position of Commodore Schley to be on
! tIihC III an SCIlOuS DuSlHtSS. HIS Te-
cent exploit in directing the movements
which resulted in the destruction of the
| Spanish fleet freshly attests that char
acteristic of the man.
Admiral Sampson was under orders
| from Washington to confer with Gen.
Shafter, who was ILL., Therefore Ad.
miral Sampson in the performance Of
his duty was seven miles away when
the Spanish warships emerged from
| the harbor. Commodore Schley was in
command Of the American squadron.
He was on board the swift cruiser
Brooklyn; but that vessel is not heav-
| lily arwored, and it was dangerous for
her to go under the fire of the heavy
ordnance of the Spanish fleet. Never
theless Schley signaled the battle
ships and cruisers to begin the battle,
and he rushed into it himself He was
on time, alert and courageous. Any
commander lacking those qualities
would have been unable to prevent the
escape of the Spanish feet. Commo
dore Schley was the right man in the
right place. Indeed it seems that all
of our officers and men are demon
strating> to the world the fact that
they are the right men in the right
places under all circumstances and
conditions.
Then again Schley was in command
of the Baltimore, at Valparaiso. when
our sailors were assaulted in tn.
streets by a riotous anti-American
mob. Schley conducted himself like
hero on that occasion. The scene is
too fresh in memory to require de.
scription. 1t occurred in 1901, and
came near resulting in war. Schlcy
and the Baltimol.s remained there un.
, til the incident was diplomatically
closed. But the guns of the Baltimore
were shotted, and ready for instant ac.
ton day and night. Commodore
Sr3'ey is all right SMITH D. FRY.
