First Day of Our Advance.
This list of dead and wounded is the
result of the beginning of the movement
which is to drive the Filipinos from the
vicinity of Manila. The battle began
early yesterday morning and ragged
continuously nearly all day, ending at
5 p. n. The most important success of
the day was the capture of the city of
Pasig. There the enemy made the
strongest stand of the day. The ad-
vance on the Filipino lines was begun
at $50 a. m. yesterday and it was a
parade for the most part with a great
deal of VOlleying into the bushes, both
by the troops and gunboats on the
river
The Filipnos would fire voIIey from
a. covered position and then retreat
through the brush to another position,
where they would fire some more lead
into the armament, very few of their
bullets finding any billets. From the
number of Filipinos dead and injured
there must have been much waste of
ammunition on the American side. Dur
ing part of the engagement it was rain
ing heavily. After driving the enemy
into Pasig and the country round about
our troops took position on a ridge COM
manding that town and there took
rest before advancing on the enemy
again.
Capture of Pasig Accomplished.
When the attack was resumed SCOTS
battery, supported by two companies Of
the Twentieth regiment avdanced by the
road along the river bank, the re-
mainder of the Twentieth regiment and
the Twenty -secOnd regiment following
with the reserve of the Oregon volun-
teers. At 80 a. m. the column came
in contact with the enemy and a gun
boat steamed to the firing line and
cleared the jungle on both sides, while
the battery took up a position on a bluff
at the right. The first shot from the
American field pieces at 1900 yards
range dislodged gun OF the enemy at
Pasig. After the town had been shelled
the troops advanced and the gunboats
opened fire. the result being that the
Filipinos bolted and our troops occupied
the town. Thirty of the rebels were
killed and sixteen were taken prisoners.

One mark of the modern man is his
inability to idle. When he has to work
for his living, he will grumble lavishly,
telling you that leisure is what he
longs for; that an idle life is his unat-
tainable ideal. But let him come into
a fortune and you will see. Does he use
his new atfiuence in the only reasonable
way, making soft places for himself
wherein he can idle happily? Not he; he
runs to and fro about the city like the
Scripture dog, risking the portion of
goods that has come to him among the
outside brokers, or he tries the muscles
of his stomach on yacht, or he deliv
ers himself, bound hand and foot, to
the tyranny of the racing stables, or he
becomes a philanthropist, or throws his
unconquerable energy into amateur
photography.
To a dweller in the sheepfolds the
question comes urgent, insistent, When
does a man come into this his birthright
of antlike industry? When does this
inability to idle grow ON him? In the
time of his lambhoOd he will do any
thing, everything, to insure his doing
nothing. To attain this object he will
spare no patent pains, no anxious
thought. He will achieve his end even
in prep. with the eye of the shep-
herd upon him, and it will be perceived
that to do nothing when talking is i'm
possible and staring about, an expensive
luxury, requires talent amounting al
most to genius.-Pall Mall Gazette

Adventure with IA Tiger.

Colonel R.. an English officer station
ed in India. met with a singular adven-
ture while tiger hunting in which he
lost an arm. The colonel had wounded
tiger from an elephants back. The
tiger charged, and the elephant, taking
fright. bolted through the jungle. To
save himself from being Drained and
swept off by overhanging branches,
Colonel r. seized "A stout limb and, rails
ing himself, left the elephant to go on
alone through the forest. To his dismay
he found he had not strength and agil-
ity sufficient to swing himself up to sit
on the branch. In vain he strove to
throw a leg over and so raise himself.
Looking down, the sportsman discOv-
cred that the tiger had spotted him and
was waiting below. The horror of the
situation can be imagined the cnraged
tiger and the helpless, dangling man
knowing he must fall into those cruel
jaws.
How long he hung there he never
knew. He shouted and shrieked III an
agony of fear. He eased one arm lit
tie and then the other then hung de
spairingly by both-till at last tired ma
ture gave way and he droppedl
He remembered thrusting one arm
into the tiger jaws, and then conscious
ness left him. His life was saved by the
arrival of friendly rifle barrel held
close to the tiger head and through the
subsequent amputation of the mangled
arm by a skillful surgeon. y outh 5

He Got the Votes,

A congressman is thus quoted by the
Washington Star:
THE first race l ever made for con-
gress resulted in my defeat by less than
30 majority, and if one of my friends
had not been too jealous | would have
been elected. There was a precinct
where | expected to receive 100 votes
and feared there would be some fraud
in the precinct that would iniure me-
so | got an old man who had never par
ticipated in politics, but who had al
most paramount influence in the dis
trict, to take charge of my interests
there, instructing him to see that every
friend of mine voted and that the votes
We're counted.
"Wh hen the returns came in, [ had
not received a single vote in that pre-
cinct, and the next day a bulky envel-
Ope was handed me containing 1870 bal
lots, together with letter from the
man l had left in charge saying that he
had seen every friend of mine ana taken
up their ballots so that none would be
missed, and as he wouldn't trust the
judges of elections he had sent them to
me himself so l would be sure to get
them. Since then | have seen to it that

only honest, but knew something about
