"Aguinaldo is remorseful. His in
huence is gone and he often sits all
alone and cries over the misera Dle con-
dltlon lntoswhich he has plunged his
people. There is dissentment in his
army and the bands out for plumber
are willing to murder. They are as
dangerous to the leader as to the
Americans. Aguinaldo cannot trust
his own men, and as truth of this,
when his headquarters were removed
from San Isidore to Cabanaran, his
luggage was robbed of lot of valu-
able Jewelry and clothing. The ban
dts are the men with whom the Amer
cans will have to deal, and in order to
down them it will be necessary to keep
large army in the field until the
thieves are captured or killed"

playground of the State, now beckons
its thousands. AS autumn falls, Amer

Niagara, will claim its annual host of
pilgrims with its majestic power, the
fierce turmoil of the Whirlpool and all

awesome Cave of the Winds and the
several other minor attractions of the
vicinity. And when winter comes,
then the entire scene transformed TO
what seems a fairyland of marvellous
frost dressings, of icy forts and snowy
