H. Business there is said to be entire

Spaniard. however, was shot and an
other was pluckily rescued by Scott
who rode IL miles and demanded the
mans release i'm the face of an armed
mob of Tagalogs, who have been loot
ing the Nisayan stores and houses, the
leaders of the insurgents being unable
To control them. All the efforts made
to induce the Nisayans to- join in the
revolution have been fruitless. The

CORNER OF SNOW AND WESTMINSTER STR

Adams was in a weak physical condi-
tion. A large use of intoxicating IL
quor cigarettes and drugs, DIR. Magin
told Mr. Angel might have caused the
weakened condition of the blood vessels
of the brain. Or. Magin admitted To
the attorney general he saw no eNl-
dence OF the use of the things named.
Witness was asked N this weakened
condition might not add much TO the
injury resulting from blow, ana ms
answer was yes. Attorney General
Tanner wanted TO know If the mere
taking hold Of mans coat would ar
feet these blood vessels. and the answer
was no. Then Mr.. Angel wanted 10
know " the shaking of a man violently
after taking hold OF both sides of his
coat would not be apt To have an effect
on such a party's brain, and the an
swer was yes.
Or. Palmer was recalled and testified
that all the bruises on Adams head
and face were recently made, This
was proved by the fact that when he
saw them first they were faint and
afterwards very pronounced. Tnel,
too, the blood underneath the skin was
old blood. not fresh blood. He was not
cross examined ON this point.

was made TO show by this witness that

ing i'm a bad condition. Judge Wilbur

No More Trading Stamps.

A large number of the retail grocers OF
this city will stop giving trading stamps
with purchases on and after October Is.
This no doubt will be sorrowful news to
the many people who are collecting these
stamps, but at a meeting Of the Retail
Grocers' Association one evening last
week the stamp question was the topic
OF discussion by the merchants, and it
was decided to cease on the above date,
as groceries are now being sold at prices
that do not allow the discount which the
trading stamps require. The Grocers'
Association does not include all the re-
tail grocers in the city, but nevertheless
they control the grocery trade and feel
satisfied that within a month they will
have compelled every dealer, both large
and small, to stop the practice. .

DR.. EDWARD BROOKS
ON WOMEN EDUCATORS
Says There Are Many Reasons Why
They Should Be on School
Boards,

The selection of women on Boards Of
Public Education has proved to be a
successful step in many cities. Their
value as members of the Board of Educa-
ton OF this city is being considered by
the people of this city, and in theo pinion
of many prominent citizens has already
been acknowledged.
DR.. Edward Brooks. leading edu-
Gator and the author of many text books
aud. works of public education, believes
women are useful members of school
boards and advises their election to the
same.
DR.. Brooks is superintendent OF the
public schools of the city Of Philadel-
phia. In speaking of the women as ed
ucators he writes:
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 80, 1898.
EDITOR OF The Sun:
MY DEAR SIR:-There are few women
serving on the School Boards of Phila-
delphia and they have been found very
serviceable. They take great interest in
the work, and are full of enthusiasm in
regard to their duties. l can see no OBJ
jections to having some women on our
School Boards, and many reasons can be
given in favor of it.
Very truly yours,
EDWARD BROOKS,

There is only one compartment for pas
sengers in each Car, and there are both

car is for the passengers. Each car will
seat fifty-four persons, and there will be
seven cars in train.
The current is supplied by the three

ment to American ingenuity and skill.
