FOR UNCLE SAM'S
RATIONS AT CAVITE.

The streets of Manila present an ac-
tive appearance during these days when
the American army is occupying the
place. All the shops are open, and ma
tives, Spaniards, and half breedsthrong
the thoroughfares ningling with our
boys in blue GOod-natured soldiers
these boys in blue are too listening all
too readily to the willy tongue of the
persuasive bargainer, and purchasing
many a trinket that is probably worth
less. Spanish, German, and English
merchants of Manila repeatedly state
that if the United States are to retain
the Philippines, they will remain in
business, but, if not, they will retire.
The American soldier eats his ratiOnS
day by day, and performs those duties
required of him by his government, and
cares not whether school keeps or not,
as far as the shOpkeeper is concerned.
His one principal object is to see that
his stomach is well filled. Our picture
taken from Harper's Weekly, viii give
YOU fair idea of how our soldiers are
fed in this far-away land. On wharf
at Cavite are the large StOre-hOuSeS,
and nearly at anchor the huge trans
ports lay ready to discharge or take on
cargo. You can see the large group Of
quartermas of the different regi-
4nents all patiently waiting to receive
the rations When this picture was ia
ken the number of ratiOnS to be dis
tributed was something like $4,000
These ratiOnS are carried away by the
officers to the different stations, and
there prepared and distributed.
Our soldiers do not like the natives
In fact they heartily despise them, and
are much inclined to treat them in a
bullying sort of way. This the native
has brought about by his lying and
cheating, despicable traits that do not
go down with an American. And then,
feeling that he has been unjustly dealt
with, he f1ercely resents the rough man

TOLOOKAT THE CORPSE
Considered Morbid and in Bad
Taste by Muncie Ministers.

Muncie, Ind, Nov. 1.-THE Ministerial
association, a body in which are all the
ministers in the city, has just made
public the following unusual resolu-
lions:
I'VE, the members of the Ministerial
association of Muncie, believing that,
in most cases, Sunday funerals are I'M
necessary, and that they sometimes
furnish an excuse for what is actually
express ourselves as opposed to the
holding of such services except in cases
of absolute necessity. We also request
the undertakes of the city to assist in
the protest by advising against the
practice and we promise to do all in our
power to assist. We also consider the
custom of having the casket opened
view the remains after the funeral ser
vice to be unnecessary, out of harmo-
ny with good taste and open to serious
objection. We also recommend that
even the immediate members of the
family and relatives take their farewell
before the service begins as being more
in harmony with the sacredness of the
relation between the deceased and the
family. We would also express our
selves as unfavorable to church funer-
ais on account of their increased ex-
penSe and undue parade, and we also
feel that a home funeral is more in ac-
cOrdance with the sOlemnity and appro-
priateness of the occasion"
The resolutions have caused religious
workers all over the city to take sides
for and against the sentiment expressed
in saying that the preachers have ex-
ceeded their authority, while others
contend that it is a step, though an un-
usual one, in the right direction

affected. But he had a duty to perform.
He positively identified Parrish as Rev.
Mr.. Mark Thompson, the fOrger, and
the next day, October II of this year,
the arrest was made.
Parrish had occupied the pulpit for
three years and had gone to Marshall
town from Constantine, Mich. He had
obtained the pastorate by means of a
forged letter of recommendation which
was reinforced by credentials, signed by
men prominent in church circles, but
which were also forgeries. But like all
criminals, he made finally his fatal
mistake. He victimized the Sandwich
bank, of Sandwich, Ill, in July, 1895,
out of $500 on a forged draft, and the
bank being a member of the American
Banking association, its managers had
to report the forgery. The Pinkerton
agency is a member of the association
and we were given the case. OF course,
although it required several years hard
work. his arrest followed. He is now in
the DeKalb county jail at Sycamore,
Ill, awaiting trial.

FORGERY HIS FAD.
Former Prosecuting Attorney of
Wichita Behind the Bars.

Kansas City, Nov. 1.-THE Pinkertons
credit former prosecuting attorney of
Wichita Kan, with being one of the
cleverest criminals they have placed be-
hind the bars of a jail during the pres
eEt year. His name is George r. Par
IRISH, but throughout Missouri, Iowa
Mr.. Mark Thompson, and in Michigan
as Rev. Mr. Edward G. Aiken. He is
a about 40 years of age, and during his
career since reaching manhOOdS estate
he has successfully been a Chicago
newspaper reporter, a lawyer, a prose
cutting attorney, a Y. NJ c. A. treasurer,
a successful and regularly ordained
minister of the Gospel and a clever
forger.
Parrish is not an ordinary criminal"
said Superintendent Schumacher, of the
Kansas City Pinkerton agency today.
Every forgery, and he has, believe,
committed many, was carefully planned
for weeks in advance of the final coup.
For three years he led the PinkertOns
a chase. Every agency in the country
was on the lookout for him. For months
we had men stationed at every hotel
in Kansas City, and at the Union depot
PinkertOns were always on guard. We
finally ran him down in Marshalltown,
Ia. He was known there by his true
name. He was the pastor of the leading
church, and at the zenith of his pOpu-
larity. Our man and Rev. Mr.. I. Lewis,
of Sandwich, Ill, who had entertained
him in Sandwich, Ill. in July, 1895. as

church and were carried away by his
eloquence. His subject was the 'PrOdi-

BEGINNING TO NOTICE US.
Austria Will Make Her Representa-
tive an Ambassador

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE state de-
partment has received formal notifica-
ton that Austria-Hungary is about to
raise its legation in Washington to the
rank of an embassy. This government
is invited to cooperate in the good viii
thus displayed by Emperor Francis JOS
eph and to elevate the United States le
cation at Vienna to similar rank. The
state department viii Immediately take
steps to comply with the courteous IN
VitatiOn of the Austrian government,
According to the highest authority,
the change in rank in the American le
cation will not necessitate change in
the personnel of the present representa-
ton at that post. The entire corps at
Vienna will be advanced and II may
be possible that more secretaries and
attaches will be sent abroad to lend
greater dignity to the new establish
ment.
In the case of Austria-Hungary, how
ever, there will be a change. An ambas-
sadOr of royalty holds place OF ex-
IRENE intimacy, and is invariably Sc
lected from among the personal adher-
ents and marked favOrites of the SOW
ereign. The present minister from
AuStria-Hungary is Baron Hengelmul-
Ter, and as he has already applied for
six months leave of absence, d1plO-
matte equivalent to a recall, it is limited
that his successor has already been Sc
lected- This is said to be the present
Austrian minister to Switzerland, Count
Kuelferstein, former minister of the in
terror and a well known favorite of
Francis Joseph.
Count Kuelferstein is considered one
of the abiest men in Austrian public
life. During his term in the chamber he
rendered conspicuous service to the ag-
riculturist party, then in conflict with
the ministry.
The retiring minister from Austria
Baron Hengelmuller, is one of the most
popular members of the foreign corps
He has been here since 1894, and has
been one of the most lavish entertain
ers of the capital.
