hahlia Correspondence leslie's Weekly.
A typical Yankee trick was PLAYED on the
enemy over at Paombong the other day
There is church over there which is Just
across d narrow stream from the house oc-
cupied by our extreme left outpost Of
twenty-eight men from Battery II. Sd
United States Artillery, who are serving
here as infantry. The sentry on duty on
the church side of the river conceived the
idea of tying a long rope to the clapper Of
the bell in the belfry, carrying the rope
over to his post in the road. Just as had
been anticipated, the Filipinos came sneak
ing down close to the church the other
morning an hour or so before daylight
The sentry heard them coming and prompt
ly rang the bell. In a twinkling the Fill
pinos opened on the belfry, and that and
the church are now well denied by bullets
The outpost refrained from answering the
fire. which was doing no harm, but after
every volley at the belfry the sentry with
the rope gave the bell two or three frantic
peals. Believing the outpost to be still in
the belfry and sorely pressed the insur-
rectos crept nearer and poured in, as they
thought, a still more deadly fire. All this
time the men Of the outpost kept quiet
noting just where the enemy were. At
daylight our soldiers opened so briskly that
sixty or seventy Filipinos found their error
and hit the road briskly back to their own
outpost, carrying several wounded men
with them. The handy rope has been ex-
tended TO reach across the river.

A LIVE MANS FUNEE
A Japanese Who Saw That Eyery-
thing Was Done DecentIy.

From the Chicago Record.
A curious incident is related by the jap
anese papers. Mr.. Kumekawa of Kobe like
every other intelligent japanese, desired that
his funeral should be attended by ceremo-
MES appropriate to his rank and social posi-
ton, and in order that he might not be
disappointed in this respect, having reach
ed his seventyseventh year., and feeling
that his days We're numbered, he determin-
ed to have his funeral in advance and make
the arrangements himself. Therefore on
the day appointed his relatives and friends
We're invited to his house and gathered
around an empty coffin with all the para
phernalia of mourning and engaged in the
most elaborate Buddhist ceremony that
could be devised. Mr.. Kumekawa sat at
the head of the casket and watched with
interest all that was going on.
After the ceremonies at the house were
concluded procession was formed, which
marched through the principal streets to
the cemetery. Mr. kumekaWa walked in
front of his own coffin The floral offerings
were numerous and beautiful. The Kobe
City Band let the procession and played
modern airs, while at intervals We're groups
of dancing girls and members of the theat-
rical profession, who performed partomime
allegories to illustrate the nobility of Mr..
vas suffered BY tie community at his
death. Just before reaching the gates of
the cemetery the procession was halted
and several photographs We're taken. After
the coffin had been lowered into The grave
and covered with floral offerings the funeral
party proceeded to the Jinko Club, where
an elaborate feast was served, and speech
es eulogistic of Mr.. Kumekawa We're de-
livered by several of his friends.
Mr.. KumekaWa, was thoroughly satisfied
with the success of his funeral, although 1t
cost him a large sum of money, and he
may now depart in peace, knowing that all
the rites have been observed, and when he
dies it is only necessary for his family to
place his body in the coffin that lies in the
ground. i',..

Funston Avenged His Horse.

Colonel Funston sat on his horse watch-

the commanding generals compliments,
and an order to stop firing.

VIM. G. Abbott, of Milford. has contract
ed with Jonathan Mays Sons, of Philadel.
phia, to build four-masted schoonet which
when completed will be the largest vessel
ever built in Milford shipyard. The new
vessel will be 162 feet keel, So feet beam, 49,
foot depth of hold and carry 1905 tons.
The appropriation for the construction
of pile dikes at the mouth Of the Mispillion
River has been expended and hence the
work ceased last week. Although-it Is
thought-the work that has been done will
be Of great advantage, it will take abou
two hundred feet more Of piling to COM
plete the job.
Work is being rushed on the Dover elee-
tric light plant and it is now the intention
of the Town Council of that town, to turn
the light on November 1. Nearly all the
poles bave been erected and the buildings
at the water works are being altered to &C.
eommodate the machinery and already one
boiler has been placed in position.

Those who find music in the mellow
baying of the hounds, and who enjoy foz
hunting have had fine times for two weeks
past about Milford. An effort has been
made 10 raise several red foxes by the
sportsmen and their farmer friends during

the moonlight nights of September has sci
the fox hunters in realm of ecstacy. AL
night runs have been numerous and the ex'
