Tickets.

When a manufacturer has succeeded in
making his name a guarantee of the excel
lence Of his goods he has reached the high
est point attainable in the commercial world.
As an example the name of VIM. Simpson
& Sons on any fabric is guarantee of the
ish. Every piece of their goods bears q
ticket on which appears the name William
Simpson 8. Sons. This insures the quality.
Dealers who have sold and women who have
bought and worn the material made by that
house are assured of the excellence of every
piece of goods which bears the name, and
the women of the United States who have
worn Simpsons prints as long as they can re-
member are still wearing them and will nat
urally insist upon having the goods bearing
that particular name on the ticket because
they give the most perfect satisfaction.

San Francisco, Sept. 24.-The Post
makes known the plans of the Ger
mans in regard to the disposition OF
the Philippines. 1t will be remem-

ished exclusively an article regarding
the seizure of the Ladrone islands by
the United States. The details of this
plot en- the part of the government

the followers of Aguinaldo against
the Americans, and that he had Off

them. The gentleman in question
says that this has been going on for
years, and prior to the interference of
the United States in Philippine affairs
almost every German vessel that land
ed there carried one or more officers in
disguise and stacks of arms and am
munition for the insurgents. The
Posts informant has just received a
letter from an authoritative source in
Hamburg, giving the details of Ger
many's future plan in regard to these
islands. The plan is as follows:
Germany will send many trading
vessels to the islands, and will arm $780,
600 Filipinos, besides furnishing Krupp
guns and artillery for field use. The
islanders are thoroughly drilled by
German officers, and by February Sc
nor Aguinaldo will be prepared to
make an onslaught on the American
forces.
To aid this plot, the letter says, Ger

purchase large number of big war
vessels, ostensibIy to strengthen her
navy, but really to be held for trans
fer to Germany should complications
arise. The German agents who have
made a report to their government say
that it will be impossible for the
United States to land more than So.
