An Authority on Alcohol and Longevity.

"Life Is considerably shortened by the
use of alcohol in large quantities, But a
moderate consumption of the same also
shortens life by an average of five to six
years. This is consistently and ~unequlvo-
cally seen in the statistics kept for thirty
years by English insurance companies, with
special sections for abstainers. They give
alarge discount. and still make more prof
it, as not nearly so many deaths occur as
might be expected under the usual e%alcula-
lions. According t. federal statistics in
the fifteen largest towns Of Switzerland,
over ten per sent. of the men over twenty
years of age die solely or partly of alcohol

Every Available Male Being Recruited
and All United on Independence.

MANILA, Philippine Islands (By Cable).-
Reports from the interior indicate that
Aguinaldo's authority is now generally
recognized. Every available male is being
recruited, and arms depots have been es-
tablished at San F~ernandIno, Union, Trini-
dad, and other large towns. The sur
rounding country is being levied on for
supplies, and the Filipino troops are living
on the fat of the land, while the native
villagers are compelled to subsist on rice.
There is some friction between the Filipino
civil and military authorities, but they are
united on the question of independence.
1t is estimated that there are fully $4,000
Filipinos under arms, and it is said that
there are nearly fifty Maxim guns at Malo-
los. some of them having been recently ac-
quired.
The Filipino military authorities are con-
WINGED, they say, that tho Americans will
be unable to work effectively outside of
Manila In the event Of hostilities, hence
they feel confidence In the future.

HAILsToRM WORKS RUIN.
Losses to Crops in North Dakota and
Minnesota Estimated at Over
$1,OOO,OOO.

st. Paul, Mimi, Aug. ia Fargo
On. d. special to the Pioneer Press
says: Two million bushels of wheat
are estimated to have been lost in
Thursdays hailstorm, which partially
destroyed the crop on nearly 100000
acres of land in the state. The total
loss will be over 81 100000.
Losses are estimated all the way from
25 to 100 per cent. of the crop. The acre
age lost in Cass and Trail is placed at
from 100000 to 100000 acres. Many
conservative estimators say that so
per cent. of the crop on 100, 900 acres are
not too large figures for the destruc-
ton in Cass and Trail. The former
seems to have suffered slightly worse
than the latter in acreage. In the north
ern part of the country the storm seems
to have begun as far west as Erie and

to Red river, and then over into Mime

war in the Philippines from now on
will be prosecuted with all possible en-
ergy. All the men, all the arms and all
the supplies necessary to end the
trouble in the islands will be furnished
at the earliest possible moment"
1t would be impossible for anyone
to be more emphatic or determined
than Secretary Root is in his avowed
policy of ending the trouble in the
Philippines. He seldom talks for pub
LEGATION, and the fact that he had just
come from two days conference with
President Mckinley adds interest to his
words.
