in driving insurgents from the San Mateo
section of country, northeast of Manila,
was killed at the front by a Filipino sharp

The news of his death was received in
America with great grief and hundreds of
persons, military, naval, and civil. gave
public testimony of his fine character and
distinguished career. Secretary Root is
sued special circular, in which the General
was highly eulogiZed, and in which the
statement was made that the swift and re-
sistless movement of his column up the Rio
Grande and across the northern boundary
Of the plain of central Luzon, which had
just been completed, was the chief factor
in the destruction of the insurgent power,
and was the croWnIng achievement OF hIS

American troops rushing into San Mateo

they would be unable to attack the British
position. On the other hand, it was re-
garded rs impossible for the British to turn
the Boer flank, which WIS resting on the

MARK TWAIN AT A CHRISTENING.

We have met together, my friends
on a very interesting occasion, the
christening Of this little child, but
see already a look OF disappointment
on your faces Is II because the infant
is so small? We must bear In mind
that this globe upon which we live Is
made up Of small things, inhnitesimal
objects, we might say. Little drops
Of water make the mighty ocean, The
mountains which rear their hoary
heads toward heaven and are often
lost In the clouds are made up Of little
grains of sand. Besides, my friends,
we must take into consideration the
possibilities In the life of this little
speck of humanity. He may become a
great preacher. Multitudes may be
swayed by his elequence and brought
to see and believe In the truth OF the
gospel, He may become q distinguished
physician, and his fame as a healer OF
men may reach the uttermost parts Of
the earth and his name go down to
posterity as one Of the great benefac-
tors OF humanity, He may become a
great astronomer and read the heavens
as an open book. He may discover new
stars, which may be coupled with that
Of Newton and other great dlsooverers,
He may become distinguished states
man and orator and by his>eloquence
he may control the destinles OF nations
and his name be engraved upon mon
uments erected to perpetuate his mem
ory by his admirlng and greatful
counerymen, He may become an au-
thor and poet, and his name appear
among those now entombed at West
