LadrOne Islands.

The cruiser Charleston, with the
first Manila expedition, stopped
on her way over long enough to
capture the Ladrone Islands and
place them in charge Of an Ameri.
can. The Spanish officials on the
island were taken on board the
Charleston as prisoners of war.
The Ladrones are not so insignif-
cant as one might suppose from the
small importance attached to them.
According to reliable authority,
The Ladrones, or Marianne Islands,
are group ofabout twenty islands
the northmost Australian group, in
latitude l6a degrees north, and lor-
gitude l453 degrees-l47 degrees
east. They are disposed in row
almost due north and south. Their
united area is 2,254 square miles.
They were discovered by Magellan
in 1921, who gave them the name
Of Ladrone Islands Qsland of
Thicves) from the thlevisb propen-
sity displayed by the natives. They
were afterwards called the Lazarus
Islands, and the Jesuit missiona.
ries, who settled there in 1867,
called them the Mariana Islands.
They are mountainous, we'll wa.
tered and wooded, (among the
trees are the bread fruit, the ba-
mana, the cocoanut,) fruitful in rice,
maize, cotton and idigo. European
domestic animals are now very
common. At the time when they
were discovered, the population
was reckoncd at 100000, but the
present population is only about
$500. The inhabitants, who are
docile, religious, kind and hospita.

of the Philippine Islands. The

DISTUR

Some of the Paris papers are distulb-
 ed by the way the United States has
 dealt with Spain and some other Euro
 pean notions. For instance, the Temps says: 'The Transatlantic democracy
 has become imperiallst, and a republic,
 founded on federalism and autonomy,
 has become conquering one From an international point of view this means
 a repudiation of the Monroe Doctrine" !"
 And the Petit Bleu rises to remark; ''The Monroe Doctrine is now out of date. The American republic, conquer ing and colonizing, no longer has the right to close to Europe the new con- tinent, since she herself has stepped out of it."
 These assertions are interesting, but nasty. May it not be possible that the United States will maintain the Monroe Doctrine more strongly than ever now that it has become conquerer and col onizer? It isn't always easy for Paris
 papers to tell just what the United States will do.

4 USEFUL COAST DEFENSE.

Queer work has been done at Jerrys s Point, near Portsmouth, New Hamp- shire. During the early days of the war with Spain battery of six new eight-inch guns Of the latest pattern was established at Jerry's Point. There is lighthouse on Jerry's Point and it is only six miles from Kittery navy yard. Somebody has discovered that all
 these guns have been "tampered with" as the dispatch mildly puts it. The
 tampering was done. apparently, with
 a sledge hammer The carriages were badly battered, the guns were tilted till
 their nlu2zles touched the ground, and
 the breech block mechanism had been smashed, In short, the guns had been made about as useful for defense as
 would be an equal weight of scrap iron. If we are to have coast defenses it
 might be we'll for somebody to take a
 look at them occasionally to see if they are in working order. Is our own Light house Point battery all right and in condition to shoot? If not what would happen to us in case of attack with the trusty Wyandotte gone?

4N OLD OUESTTON.

We are asked, When does the next century begin? We shall not tell.
 It is related that one hundred years ago there appeared in the Norfolk (Vir
 giniO Herald an advertisement from a person who pretended to be the benefi- | ciary of her uncles will, the will bear- ing date of December IS, 179S, and con- taining the following provision: q will give to my niece, Deborah Violet, $500 to be paid in the nineteenth century," After quoting this provision the adver- tisement says: And now, good. sirs. as am poor woman, and I am told you have great many law gentlemen in Norfolk, you will render a great service if you will get their opinion when and at what time really have right to demand the same" A good sir who signed himself "P. Porcupine, law yer" undertook to help Deborah. This is the way he talked to her: Your ad- | cause, will have plenty of lawyers to oppose you. They will insist that the eighteenth century cannot be ended till the year 1900 is ended; they will tell you that this is the 1798th, and not the 1799th year, and so forth, and so forth, to the end of the chapter. In return to all which you will say, pray what century are we now in?" They will an- swer ''the eighteenth, to be sure" You will then ask them how it happens l that we have continued to date seven- l teen hundred during all the eighteenth century? If there should be a man of sense amongst them he will laugh in his sleeve: but you will see the young babblers stare like so many stuck pigs. Before they have had time to recover you must follow up your blow, and put to them the following questions: When did we begin to date seventeen hum dred, at the beginning or the end of the seventeeth century," They will imme- diately answer: At the end of the seventeenth century" We'll, then, say you, did we not also begin | to date 179S at the end of the 179Sth year? If we began Gas you say | we did) to date 179S at the end of the 179Sth year, why did we not begin
 to date 1900 at the beginning of the eighteenth century," At this they will stand as mute as fishes. You will get no answer from them. They will, how ever, find their tongues after a time. and then they will go on again with their saids and sOforths and again in- sist that 1900 years must ex- pire before 1900 years are ex- pired; and that ninety-nine can

not make 100, and consequently, and of course, 1799 cannot make 1900, and hence and from thence they will draw 6 conclusion as clear as daylight that, to attain 1900 years we must arrive at 1900, With about nine-tenths of the jury the force of this reasoning will be irresistible; but, if there be amongst them any man of a sound understand ing and clear conscience he will re- , main locked up until he has gnawed off his hands, before he will give a verdict against you,
 It is not recorded that Deborah ever got her money, or that the question she raised was ever settled,

MORE WEiTHER.

There is going to be some more weather on the coast, A very low cen tral pressure is even now moving along the coast, and the talk is that 1t is at tended by rain and probably with wind increasing to "a gale force." Another whirligig is on its way from Minnesota, and may reach the coast In time to col lide with the ''very low central pres sure" which is now moving along the coast. It is regarded as not impossible that when the very low central pres sure" and the whirligig from Minnesota reach this part of the coast we may have some snow A little snow just now would be very cheering, and would be great help to social and business life. There's nothing more beautiful than snow, and we need some to con- vince us that the climate hasn't perma- nently changed.

THE INDIAN MODE OF FIGHTING.
Individual Fighting is the Red Mans
 Style.

Individual Fighting is the Red Mans
 Style.
 The Indian method of fighting, as shown at Leech lake, is a unique type Of warfare, and as such is a subject Of great interest to foreign military men. The United States regular soldier is an expert at it and has learned to fight the Indian as the Indian fights him. Military attaches sent by for eign governments to observe the Span ish-American war asked many ques- tions from American officers on this topic, and considered the veteran In- dian fighter, represented by such as Gems. Chaffee and Kent, as one of the best types of soldiers.
 Individual fighting is the Indian style. It was so in the days before the Revolution, and a century has not changed it. The Indian has adopted many innovations taught him by the white man. He usually wears "store clothes in these days and lives in a house, even if it is only log hut. But he fights as his forefathers did, seek ing to gain an advantage over his foe by ambush or some other form of strategy. The Indian who can hide be- hind a rock or tree and shoot down an unsuspecting foe who is passing is considered much more of hero than one who will fight in the open and die bravely facing the enemy.
 Indians on the warpath are com mamnded by chiefs, who are generally elected at a council fire. These chiefs are usually the heads of large families and command squads of from 20 to 100 men, composed of their brothers, sons, cousins, and other relatives. One of the chiefs is known as the great chief and is usually given this rank for prowess in war or hunting. He oc- cupies something like the same rela- tion to the forces under him that g general or colonel has in the United States army, but his authority is mucf more restricted and Is exercised only in rare cases.
 t The usual method in a fight such as 1 that at Leech lake is for the chief tc advance and his men to follow him keeping near enough to see his move ments and acting in conformity with them. When the foe approaches with in range general firing begins one o1 i the chiefs usually setting the example | When his men see him fire they fire ] too, and so the rattle of the guns be. l comes general.
 l It is seldom that an order is giver to an Indian in battle. He follows his chief, picking out individual foes ant i fighting individually. His commissary and quartermaster's arrangements art attended to by squaws.
 The United States regular wher ! fighting Indians adopts their tactic: only when the Indian are near. The skirmish formation is then used >ant the men dodge behind trees or rocks but they listen for and quickly obey the orders of their officers. If hari pressed they usually assemble ant throw up nasty intrenchments, where they can pour collective fire into any foe that may attack them.-The Balti ! more Sun.

 Net run all over with Zig-zags and squirls of chenille is also popular form of the chenille craze. Cream net thus run with black chenille, and gray net chenille embroidered in rose and blue, are among the favored combinations Chenille embroidery appears for collars, yokes and entire robes. Chiffon, crape. net, liberty satin, veS ct, cloth any and all rich materials are suited to elabora- tion of this kind. A perfectly lovely gown copied from a rich imported rig was ivory liberty silk At intervals blue satin butterflies were outlined by the chenille, and the result was exec ed ingly fine.
 Though unusual the use of chenille the artist shows here may ba classified as typical, for ehenilel garnitures are constantly cropping out in novel forms. It was black and covered the entire
 bodice, which was white cloth Skirt
 and sleeves were leaf green cloth The trimming for the novel overslzirt was rows of chenille followed by a very narrow band of dark fur, and the col larette and storm collar were of dark CT shade of green cloth. with their own pattern of chenille embroidery.
 Fringe trimmings are coming in again. Most of them are narrow and very dainty. They are to be had in black, as we'll as in colors, and many of the new fancy ribbons have fringed sides. A very novel trimming consists of fine silk loops mounted on silk bra d that is supplied with draw thread and can be gathered or fiuted at will. New shades in ribbon are a blue and purple both very deep and rich
