One OF the pledges which is almost as good as
a treaty obligation in its force even now Is that
the United States. In return for the release of
the political prisoners from Cuba and Porto Rico
held by Spain, will secure the release OF the
Spanish prisoners held by Aguinaldo. and to this
matter attention is being devoted here. There has
been an almost daily dispatch from General Otis
announcing the arrival of a transport there
loaded with United States troops. and the War
Department is fairly confident OF its ability now
TO undertake the full control Of the islands with
the assistance of the naval contingent under
Dewey. 1t is realized that the task of inducing
Aguinaldo to surrender the captives for whom
he has demanded such An extravagant ransom.

,Bevel Gears Do Not Wear.

Experience has shown that it is not
the gears in bevel gear wheel that are
most likely to cause trouble. It is the
bearings. A few years ago, when the
construction Of bearings was far less
perfect than now, the old league chain
less wheel was ridden 60 centuries in
so days by q we'll known clubman. Ev.
cry night his wheel was overhauled
and new bearings were continually be-
ing put into it. The gears stood the
racket, but the bearings did not. Now,
however. the bearings in bevel gear
wheels are Of special construction and
are far superior to what were used then.
From this it will be seen that the claim
of manufacturers that the gears do not
wear or break finds some confederation
in history. York Sun. p.

L was driving along a lonely road In
southwest Texas one day when l came
upon a rather remarkable scene. A lot Of
people rugged out in their Sunday clothes
were gathered in an open field and seemed
to be holding some kind of ceremony, up
parently of religious nature. One man,
undoubtedly q country preacher, Judging
by bis garb and solemn appearance. stood
upon a stump and was just concluding an
exhortation of some kind. Two or three
women were crying, and the men looked
serious and awkward. -
At first thought had come upon an
open air meeting Of some religious denom-
!nation, but l abandoned this opinion
when saw two men drive forth couple
of mule teams hitched to ponderous har
rows and begin to harrow the soil over
large space Of ground in front of the con
gregation While they were. doing this the
crowd sang hymn. .
e When I drove slowly down tho road
and saw man sitting on tho fence gazing
at the scene, stopped and asked him what
1t all meant. He took straw out Of his
mouth and pointed with 1t toward pile
Of white looking rocks in the center of the
field.
