1.-THE Filipinos had just got comfortably
located in their new quarters when another
order was issued to go further out; because
they did not move quickly enough, although
within the prescribed time the report was
maliciously circulated that they did not In
tend to move and would resist. call upon
Aguinaldo by the informant led to the dis
coyeTy that they were using every effort t.
move as quickly as possible, and Aguinaldo
simply said that he was sure that the
Americans did not understand the hardship
that these orders entailed upon his soldiers.
The further they went away from the city
of Manila the worse the country became
and II was with great difficulty that Agui-
naldo obtained food and shelter for his
men.

1t was not long before an old negro walk
ed into the office, his eyes welled with
tears. With voice choking with emotion
he addressed This honor and handed him
a telegram bearing the print of his dirty
fingers and also the intelligence that his
brother had just died in Talladega.
The negro proved to be Charles Braxdall,
who had been in the city jail since No.
vember. He had only five more days to
serve and Mr. Drennen granted the pardon.
There were various petitions of one sort
and another coming in during the day, and
Mr. Drennen's first day in the mayor s
office was rather a busy one.
Retiring Mayor Evans turned over the
keys of his office to his successor at 4
O'Clock in the afternoon and left.

Among the matters that came up for Mr..
Drennen's consideration was the building
of the stand in front of the city hall, which
is done every year for the carnival celebra-
ton.
Chief of Fire Department Mullen always
superintends the work of building the
stand, and it was when the chief was sum-

In Line With Him, and Laws
Will Be Enforced.
HIS FIRST DAY IN OFFICE
Initial Act Was the Granting of Pardon

City Affairs.
HIS FIRST DAY IN OFFICE

! That part of Mayor Drennen's message
| suggesting reform in regard to gambling
means something more than a mere sug-
| gestion. 1t means that the new admins
tration will go in to cleanse the city of
| gambling dens.
This is in substance a declaration made
| by the new mayor yesterday before he had
occupied the chief executives chair twelve
| hours.
When asked how he would put the reform
into operation he said that the only way
it could be done was through the police
| commission. Asked if the new commission,
which held its first meeting last night was
in line with him on the proposition, he an
| swered in the affirmative.
'Will chief be elected who will agree
with the administration"
"That I can't say, but the police COM
mission is with me-" was the new mayors
reply.
1t is common gossip that the many
gambling dens are run wide open and that

has been materially increased. The power
over this character of violators of the law
has heretofore rested solely with the police
commission and the two governing bodies
of the city have not been on the most har
monious terms. Mr.. Drenneh is the first
mayor in several years to take the matter
in hand
Some of the gaming rooms are run under
the guse of club rooms and are protected
by articles of incorporation under the state
laws. Almost any one could get a card
any time it was desired.
1t is known that Mr.. Drennen was very
much in favor of the Sunday closing ordi-
| nance If the council had not passed it be-
fore he was sworn in he would have had
something to say about it in his message.

shortly after o'clock yesterday morning.

Indian INSTRUMENTS.

The only instruments known to these
tribes were the drum, the rattle and a
kind Of fageolet.
The drum and rattle were used in ac
companying the voice, to accentuate
the rhythm and to assist in interpret
ing the emotive impulse Of the song.
Shaking the rattle and beating the
drum with clear, sharp strokes served
not only to mark the time, but to Sc
cure the coordination and unity Of
movement Of the numerous voices in
the choral or to enforce precision Of
motion in the dance. The tremolo Of
the drum or rattle was to express the
awe and trepidation felt when approach
ing the supernatural or when invoking
the aid Of the occult power.
The hageolet was rather rude in
strument, having a range limited to
eight OF ten notes in the treble clef.
Owing to the lack Of mechanical &C.
curacy in its manufacture. this range
varied with every instrument, as did
also the quality and value Of the tone
relations. There sesms to have been
only one requirement Of the maker
namely. that when the dageolet was
blown with all the six holes stopped
there should be strong vibrations in the
tone produced. This Instrument was
used exclusively for solos by the young
men Of the tribe.-Journal Of Ameri-
can Folk Lore.

What 1t Means to Walk.

The man who is content with a
modest average Of six miles walking a
day scarcely realizes that every IL
years he walks distance sufficient to
girdle the earth at the equator.
Startling as this simple calculation
is, he may be excused feeling of in
credulity when he learns that in walk
ing this distance he has expended suffi-
cient energy to raise our 3S first class
battleships foot high.
It is calculated that in walking an
average mile man uses sufficient en-
ergy to raise 171s tons to the height of
foot, or conversely a ton (of Goals.
say, to three times his own height. The
mere thought Of such feat is sufficient
to deter man from taking the most
modest constitutional.
Thus every year the man who walks
six miles day does sufficient work to
raise a ton weight to height equal
roughly to 1H times that Of Mont
Blanc, or to raise all the gold current
throughout the world foot higher
than his own head. A tramp Of 18 miles
day involves as much exertion as the
days work Of an ordinary laborsr.

A woman's Worries.

Said physician: II wonder that
women fail to appreciate how much
nervous force as well as physical
strength they consume in worrying over
the little things Of life. Look at the
mother and housewife as she goes about
her tasks and observe how often she ut
ters an impatient exclamation, how Of
ten she sighs over her servants short
comings, how often she starts nervous
ly at noise from one Of the children.
And each time that she loses control
over herself, her nerves, her temper,
she loses just little nervous force. just
little physical well being, and moves
a fraction Of an inch farther on in the
path that geads to premature old age
and to invalidism.

light them simultaneously. One candle
