Fighting IN TROPIC RAIN
SPANISH GARRISON AT BALER
SURRENDEBS.
Filipino Hopes Of Success Kept up by
Political Reports From America.
Evil Influence of anti Expansionsts.

MANILA, June 21.-The insurgent
army has taken to the hills beyond
linus. The largest force Is supposed to
be in the neighborhood of San Fran
cisco de la Malabon, holding a position
more toward the lake or toward the
coast, according as eXigencies demand.
The heavy rains that fall nightly
make campaigning uncomfortable.
The roads are still good, but the rice
fields adjoining them are full of water.
The Filipinos will not fight unless
they can meet our troops in positions
most advantageous to themselves, or
take our accommodating bodies in anr-
bush. 1t is impossible to learn what eff
feet the recent defeat has had upon
their leaders.
Copies of the insurgent organ, indie
pendencia, show that the Filpinos'
hopes of success are kept aflame by po-
litical movements in America. The In
dependencia prints reports of alleged
speeches made at alleged mass meet
ings in the United States, denouncing
the war and it asserts that these repre-
sent the dominant American sentiment.
1t declares also that the Filipinos will
continue the war until the next Presi-
dental campaign, which is "sure to re-
suit in decision to withdraw the Am
erican troops from the Philippines"
1t is reported than the Spanish gar
rlSOn at Baler, in the province of Prln-
cipe, on the coast of Luzon, which had
become reduced to thirty-three men,
finally surrendered to the Filipinos, af-
ter holding out for year.
The Filipinos imprisoned two English
men at Tachbobona on the Island of
Samar, southeast of Luzon. The Brit
ish first-class cruiser Grafton steamed
to that point from Cebu and her COM
mander demanded their release. When
this was refused, he landed a force of
marines and cleared his ship for action,
whereupon the Englishmen were hand
ed over

German is very i'll. He is suffering from
an intestinal trouble. Since his retire
ment from the Senate he has been all
ing. and at that time was advised to go
to some health resort.
Instead of this he plunged into bust

litics than heretofore. All of the time
spent in New York was given to nation
al politics and he had little or no rest
Upon his return home, about month
ago, he felt worse than ever and was
obliged to go to bed.

The First Silk Hat.

In an English newspaper of the date
of Jan. 16, 1897, appears the following:
John Hetherington, ha~berdasher, of
the Strand, was arraigned before the
lord mayor yesterday OF the charge
Of breach of the peace and melting a
riot, and was required to give bond
in the sum of $500. 1t was in evil
dence that Mr.. Hetherington, who is
we'll connected, appeared upon the pub
lie highway, wearing upon his head
what he called a silk hat (Which was
offered in evidence), a tall structure
having a shining luster and calculated
to brighten timid people. AS a matter
of fact, the officers Of the crown stated
that several women tainted at the I'M
usual sight, while children screamed,
dogs yelped, and a young son of Cord
wainer Thomas, who was returning
from a chambers shop, was thrown
down by the crowd which had collected
and had his right arm broken. For
these reasons the defendant was seized
by the guards and taken before the
lord mayor. In e~Xtenuation of his
crime defendant claimed he had not
violated any law of the kingdom, but
was merely exercising a right to APP
pear in a headdress Of his own design
"a right not denied to any English
man."

The catfish uses his lungs as an or
gan of hearing. The needless lung be-
comes a closed sac, filled with air, and
commonly known as the swim bladder.
In the catfish Gas in the suckers, clubs
and most brook fishes) the air bladder
is large, and is connected by a slender
tube, the remains of the trachea, to the
oesophagus. At its frontit fits closely to
the vertebral column. The anterior
vertebrae are much enlarged, twisted
together, and through them passes a
chain of bones which connect with the
hidden cavity of the air. The air blad-

The ready wit for which our present
ambassador to the court of St. James
was noted in America, and which has
widened the circle of his friends in
England, was also characteristic Of
Rufus Choate, an earlier member of the
family, and n of the greatest lawyers
America has yet produced. Rufus
Choate's thrusts were, however, not al
ways so good-natured as are usually
those of the modern representative Of
the family. In describing a party to a
suit in which he vas counsel, he once
said, why does he not pay back the
money he has so i'll got? He is such a
villain that he wouldn't if he could,
and so much of a bankrupt that he
couldn't if he would" Mr.. Choate
also once remarked of a oman "She
is a sinner-no, not a sinner, for she is
our client; but she is a very disagree
able saint"

Devoost.
And then he inveigled M. Bertel into
of the country.
Louis Gavron was his cousin, and
Nine. Devoost's companion when she
met Claudine was Louis Gavron him
self. He had stood carefully in shad-
CIV so as not to be recognized by M.
Bertel. Meantime, not a word of the
old mans eulogies on his work had
escaped him. Dearly as Louis Gavron
priced the gold medal, he priced those
words of praise from Claudine's father
ten times more.

murmured; did you hear what your
father said about my work?"
II am so glad you have that gold

much of it. 1t will almost make him

do. oh, blessed Salon Blanc, not only
will it benefit the poor, but the poor

"Dearest!"
They walked along for a few see
onds. Then Louis Gavron whispered:
my cousin Devoost has promised
to put in a good word for me with
your father"
At this moment they came upon the
family party. M. Bertel's brow CON
tracted when he saw by whom his
daughter was accompanied, but he
said, a little stif1y:

have gained is, l hope, only the first
Of a long series of art triumphs."
Louis Gavron bowed and thanked

A QUEER COMBINATION.
Portly and Economical, but Likes t.
Dress Well.

POrt1y and Economical, but Likes to
Dress Well.
A passion for dress and pride in eco
nomy are SO rarely found in the same
person that the woman who possesses
both these attributes is worthy of con-
s%ideration as a curiosity, if nothing
more, says the New York Commercial
Advertiser. The. woman who saves
and pinches and scrapes in order to ex-
pend on gorgeous garments the results
of her economy is a common type, but
the woman who attempts to buy splen-
did raiment and save money at n
and the same time expects too much OF
this sordid world and usually learns
her lesson in anguish of mind.
An instance: A portly woman who
has her gowns made by a "dressmaker
by the day." heard not long ago that
Messrs. Lace & Frills were selling out
their French model costumes for mere
ly paltry songs. Into town went the
portly dame, and, sure enough, found
a gown with Worth's name on the belt
tape that had been reduced from 1925
to $780," 1t was very elaborate, very
rich and very quiet. Just the thing for
a portly person past As. She wrestled
with tit was a very warm day-and
by dint of hard labor on the part of
herself and the assistants she got into
1t. 1t gaped and bulged and the lady
painted and grew purple in the face.
The filter gave it up as a hopeless
noSn Flow nv h0,,oS- - ALL
the portly dame abandoned the strug-
gle and went home. But, alas, the
next morning all memory IF her suf-
fering when encased in the tight Worth
reduced from 1925 to 500, had passed
away. Only the beauty of the frock
and it's astonishing cheapness remain
ed to torture her. The fanaticism of
the bargain-hunter took possession of
her. She was seized with pain for fear
someone else should have already
bought the coveted garment. She took
the first train to town and an automo-
bile from the station to the shop. She
inquired for the gown. 1t was still
unsold and she bore it off in triumph.
Contrary to all precedent the head fit
ter tried to dissuade her from buying
it, and for a moment the portly econo-
mist was abashed. st is for my daugh-
ter, who is more slender than 1 am"
she said, with shame-faced ~audacity.
The little dress maker by the day
was sent for and she attacked the
Worth chef d'oeuvre bravely and man
aged to make it a more comfortable
misf1t than it was before. In the pro-
cess she spoiled the "set" of the bodice
and Invested the skirt of all p~retension
to style. But she did her best and it
took ten days-all of which cost con-
siderable. And the portly economist
isn't satisfied yet.

FORTUNE
TELLER'S CAVE.
(By Jean Middlemass.l

(By Jean MiddlemaSS.)
WELL, children, would you like to
go tonight to the Salon Blanc?"
Eyes, yes, papa; how delightful
shouted a chorus of merry voices.
"And you, Claudine, will you Gomez"
And the father of the family turned to
his eldest daughter, a bright-looking
brunette Of Is, who had been crossed
in love.
Il should like very much to go to the
Salon Blanc" much to his surprise.
And then she ran up stairs after the
others to wrap up.
Claudine was only IS; thus alacrity
about a fete ought not to have ur-
prised any one; but she was what is
called crossed in love-" and for the
last three months had taken no inter-
est in her surroundings.
M. Bertel, who was a retired law
yer, and very we'll off, objected to a
young man called Louis G~avron, to
whom Claudine had given her heart,
simply because he had artistic procliv-
tiles.
Snow had fallen all over Belgium,
but in Brussels for two days the air
had been clear and frosty; the snow in
the park having become quite hard,
a snow fete for the poor had been or
ganized-a night fete, too, and in the
open air.
"Claudine, I am glad we came" he
cried. Eyes, children, of course you
can go on the ice; no fear of falling
in. Ha! he. Only leave us in peace
to look at the groups. All, you are
looking at the cave with the fortune
teller, Claudine, and the young beauty
coming to learn her fate. Excellent,
most excellent! 1 declare it is the best
of ALL"
THE sculptor who is responsible for
that cave has received the gold medal"
announced a voice just behind them.
NJ. Bertel looked around and saw one
of his most intimate friends.
We'll, he deserves it. Who is he?
I should like to make his acquaint-
ance," he said.
Louis Gavron," replied the other,
briefly.
Impossible! That young fool who
no, l cannot believe it. And the
medal, too? No, no; you are playing
a practical joke on me, Devoost."
mot I. Young Gavron has an i'm
mense amount of talent, if you would
only believe it."
Louis Gavron-the gold medal" re-
peated NJ. Bertel. 1t was the gold
medal that overcame him. He turned
to see what Claudine thought of the
matter, but Claudine had disappeared.

Wal correspondents at Manila are
much puzzled, over the movements OF
Senator Albert j. Beverage, the In
diana statesman, who has been bob
bling hither and thither about the
islands of Luzon and Sulu in a most
astounding fashion. Senator Bever-
idge, it is reported, has travelled 1000
miles by water, ridden 600 miles on
horseback, visited the natives in their
huts, made a call upon the sultan Of
Sulu, voyaged on top of icon-roofed
railroad cars and mingled in the front
Of battle half a dozen times. A posi-
BILE explanation of the senator's activ-
ity may be that he really wants to see
what our new possessions look like
and to know how things are going on.

TO CARRY THE DEAD.
TROLLEY FUNERAL CARS I'm
CHICAGO.
They Have Proved a Decided Success
the Old Line Funeral Directors Are
Becoming Correspondingly Envious-
Saves Expenses. D
Chicago News.)

Trolley car funerals, a recent inno-
vation by two South side electric lines,
are fast threatening to supplant the
corteges drawn by horses. A saving of
expense in electric car funerals is one
of the chief arguments in favor of their
popularity.
The Calument Street Railway COM
pany and the Chicago Electric Traction
company both have funeral cars.
On the Calumet Electric line, which
covers a wide stretch of territory
south of Sixty-third street. the number
of trolley car funerals sometimes
reaches as high as four or FIVE a day.
During the months of January, Feb
ruary and March of this year, the Cal
umet company filled the largest num-
Der of funeral engagements since it in
stituted the custom in Chicago.
Arrangements with the undertakers
OF he different suburbs along the line
are made by the company. The under
takers dislike to give UP the liberal
commissions from livery establish
ments that they once enjoyed, but to
no avail. The trolley funeral is cheap
er and it has come to stay. 1t costs
but $11 for a motor and a trailer, with
an extra charge of So for every addi-
tional car needed.
The Calumet company has no special
funeral car. The back is removed
from one of the seats of an ordinary
motor car and on this seat the casket
is placed. On either side of the casket
the pail bearers take their places and
the mourners fill the remainder of
the seats. Only a placard in the front
bearing the word Special" in heavy
black letters indicates it's mission.
Oakwoods cemetery comes in for a
large share of trolley funerals, but Mt.
Greenwood, Mt. Olivet and Mt. Hope
are used also. These three are located
on the line of the Chicago Electric
Traction company, and to reach them
it is necessary for the Calumet line to
transfer it's funeral train to the motor
car of the neighboring line, which is
done quite frequently.
On the line of the Chicago Electric
Traction company a special funeral
car, the Virginia, is provided. 1t is
dark green in color. At each end there
is a vestibule having a door in it's front
for the admission of the casket. In
n or the other Of these vestibules the
casket remains during the journey to
the cemetery, screened from the rest of
the car by heavy curtains. The car
proper is richly furnished and accom-
modates twenty persons.

THE MONK WAS INTERESTED.
Even the Trappist Wanted to Know Re-
suit of the Big Fight.


Speaking of prize fights a young gen.
tleman of Dubuque, Iowa, tells a story
which shows how keen is the interest
felt in all struggles between men for
mastery, whether mental or physical.
A few miles from Dubuque is a Trap
pist monastery, one of the only two in
the United States. These monks are
vowed to perpetual silence, and live
the most secluded life imaginable. One
day, SO long after the Fitzsimmons-
Corbett fight of March II, 1897, that
the monks were working in the hay
field, this young man visited the mon
astery, and was being shown around
by one of the brothers whose duty this
is, and who is, therefore, allowed to
converse with strangers. After a while
the visitor strolled through the hay
field, at some distance from his guide.
A bearded, grave looking monk made
a sign to him and went behind a hay
cock. The young man strolled care
lessly past and heard a deep sepulchral
voice ask the question: "Say, did Jim
my Corbett lick Fitzsimmons?" The
visitor shook his head and the monk
resumed his MISUNDERSTANDING Times.

The system of organized charity now
in operation in most of the large cit
les of the country is not right. The
stress on organized charity is another
example of the sophistries which the
scholar needs to expose. l am in favor
of real charity, but that charity is mis-
named which compels a man to turn
his soul inside out to charity officials
before he can get a crust of bread; that
charity is misnamed which forces a
woman to give her history before she
can get a garment to clothe her naked
child.

1t is now more than half a century
since Japan was forcibly Opened" to
intercourse with the world at large.
During the latter half of that period
her progress in the arts of civilization
has been marvellous, so that now she
is entitled to a place among the most
enlightened nations of the world. She
has not yet, however, been treated as
an equal by America and the European
powers. The old treaties, imposed
upon her at the lannon's mouth, are
still to some extent in force; but their
day has reached its end. On July II
they lapsed, and new ones went into
effect, under which she will be, in in
ternational law, the full equal of any
power in the world. The incident will
be of some diplomatic interest. It will
also be of much historic interest, as
marking the completion of what has
probably been the most rapid and
marked national development on rec
ord.
