NONE MAY GO
IF Congress Takes Early Action
on the Proposal to Increase
the Regular Army
Volunteer Regiments Will All
Probably Be Mustered Out
OF Service.
Pressure From Senators and Rep
resentatives Becoming Very
Great,
Nearly Every Volunteer Regi-
ment Desiring to Go Home.
Troops for Manila.

WASHINGTON, Dec. If congress,
early in the session should make provis-
ion for the increase of the regular army,
it is quite probable that none of the vol
unteer regiments now in the service will
be sent to do garrison duty in Cuba
The troops first to be sent to Cuba will
be composed largely of regular regi-
ments so far as they are available. Plans
are maturing for the mastering out of
as many volunteers now in service as
possible. The demand of the enlisted
men to go home and leave the service is
growing greater and greater every day.
This is true in nearly every garrison,
and the arrival of senators and repre-
sentatives with requests for the muster
out of regiments or men in the regi-
ments has largely increased during the
past few daysr 1t is we'll known that
the soldiers at Manila desire to come,
and the war department is considering
the question of sending regular regi-
ments to replace these volunteers as,
soon as arrangements can be made. The
regulars who are available for this SER
vice comprise those regiments on the
Western coast which saw service at San
tiago, and there is disposition to have
them recuperated and recruited to their
full strength before sending them to
Manila.

That TeIlta,e Tag.

She was q poor, plain little woman,
evidently Just in from the country, and
she stood looking longingly at line of
gaudy purses which hung along in a
row by the notion counter.
After minute she stepped into a
corner, took out her own shabby little
leather purse and counted over the
money carefully.
She evidently found out she could
afford it, as great extravaganza, and
SO at last walked shyly up to the coun-
ter, selected one with "pearls' set in
along the chain and a big emerald flash
ing in the top, took up the box in
which it was given her and vanished in
the direction of the waiting room. Not
more than five seconds later she appear
cd again-her cid purse tucked out of
sight and the new one hanging proudly
round her neck. 1t was almost pitiful
to see her-she took SO much pride in
the gaudy thing-and then, more pitt
full, yet more laughable, there came
into view behind her the price tag,
tapping gayly from its little pink string
and proclaiming to the world at large
that that particular purse had cost just
so cents!
Nobody who saw that saucy tag had
the courage to tell its wearer, and yet
that would have been kindest too. But
she vanished down the street with it
still in view. How do you suppose she
felt when she found it out?-Cleveiand

SOME APPREHENSION FELT.
Attitude of Aguinaldo Worries the Adj
ministration.

Attitude of AguinaldO Worries the Adj
ministration.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The appre-
hension which manifested itself some
time ago over the attitude Of Aguinaldo
and the Philippine insurgents has not
entirely disappeared, though the admin
istration believes they will accept the
situation without a conflict with the
United States. The matter was dis
cussed at the cabinet meeting during
the day and some of the views ex-
pressed indicated a possibility that the
insurgents may yet have to be dealt
with, On the whole, however, the
president expects that serious trouble
with Aguinaldo will be avoided, but at
the same time has guarded against
an outbreak by taking precautionary
measures. The American force already
in occupancy of part of the Philippines
is regarded as altogether adequate to
cope with any emergency that may
arise. The future government Of the
islands came up incidentally and Secre-
tary Alger made some suggestions as to
details of a military government Of the
islands.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The war de.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 1.-General
Merriam, in charge of the department
of the Pacific, can give nothing positive
in regard to the reported orders for send
ing regulars to the Philippines to re-
lieve American volunteers. He says:
''These reports are based on a dis
patch sent to Commissary Long to PRO

however, to show the plans of the army

The Smith family populateS that section of

of course, is popular One of the assessors,
in locating piece of property which he will
assess later on, was obliged to describe 1t
something like this:
John Smith, four acres bounded on the
north by farm of John T. Smith, on the
east by lands of John Smith, on the west
by lane and the lot of John Smith, and
on the south by farm of John G.. Smith,
The assessor has filled fifty or more pages

How to avoid confusion he can't tell, and
President Feitner cannot enlighten him.
The trouble lies in the fact that when the
assessor came to describe the property of
John L. Smith, which adjoinS John Smith S

A Genealogical Tragedy.

New York Times.
1t was one of those big English estates
which was to make a great many people
rich if all the links in the long chain Of
ancestry could be found. The legatees in
this country h / twenty-one years in which
to prove thei. claim before the property
would revert to the crown. Everything pos
sible had been done, and one link was still
missing. This was an old family Bible, con-
supposed to have been burned at the time
of the Deerfield massacre. but, notwith-
standing, every effort had been made to find
it If by any possibility ii was in existence,
but without success, and the time expired.
Two years later one of the legatees, a
New York woman, CHANGED to see in a pa
per the advertisement of a woman who
wanted work. The advertiser had signed
her name. and ii was a family name of the
woman who was one of the claimants for
the English estate. 1t was perhaps the per-
sistent fascination which the earnest
searcher into genealogical records never
loses, and the force of habit formed in
many years search for precious documents,
which int rested her at once. She answered
the advertisement in person, found that the
woman had been the wife of a member of
her family who had died. leaving her in
financial straits which had forced her. to
advertise for something to do TO support
herself.
But the strange and romantic part of the
story was that among old books and pa
belonged to her husband. the woman had
the old Bible, with it's register of births ard
deaths, and the only link that had been
needed TO obtain the big estate, and now
that ii was too late ii was found where IL
had been treasured simply as a souvenir
