Manila, Jne Is, 800 p. m.-Captain

of linus. TArebels, who were appar-

According native stories, the reb-

Many peopltill refuse to credit the
stories of the;sassination Of General

ESTABLISHES RECORDS.
EgIoff Rides Ten Centuries in Four Days Of
Wheeling.

New York, June 15.-August Egloff
of the Nassau wheelmen, finished his
task of riding ten consecutive centu-
ries at o'clock this morning. Egloff's
time for 1000 miles was 108 hours and
20 minutes. For the four days and a
half, Egloff enjoyed six and half hours
sleep. He broke all the century records
in this country from 300 to 600 miles,
and also made new figures from 100
to 1000 miles.
Egloff's ride does not beat the record
of A. Eye of England. Eyes ride was
a. straight away one from Lands End,
Eng, to Afordshire, Scotland, made IN
1890 over good roads. Egloff had good
roads on most of his trips, but some
of them were far from good, and the
course was winding. Egloff did not
take solid food on his ride, but con-
fined himself almost exclusively TO
strawberry ice cream.

CUP STAYS IN CANADA.
Dominion Beats the Yankee for the Third
Time.


Montreal, June 15.-The fourth and
last race for the Ross cup between
the yachts Dominion and Yankee re-
suited in a. win for the Canadian boat
by two minutes and % seconds, thus
retaining the cup. The race was sailed
over a triangular course, and this, 1t
was expected, would make the result
problematical, the two free runs being
expected to neutralize the Dominion's
admitted superiority in windward
work.
Today's race was sailed in a fluky
wind that blew from the east most
of the day, but In the last round
veered around to the southeast.
The following table shows the re-
suits: Dominion, start 1880; first
round, 2.42:o6; second round, 3.24:l5;
finish, 429:07.
Yankee, start 1880; first round,
2.46:45; second round. 3.9S:5S finish,

With this view, Mr. Thomas remains

Worlds Largest Grapevine.

From the st. Louis Post-Dispatch.
La Para Grande, the biggest grape
vine in the world, has reached the end
of its long outdoor life, and will soon
be cut down. Seventy-five years it has
been growing on a ranch in the Monte
otto valley, near Santa Barbara, Cal,
but it has shown signs of dying, and
so its owner, Albert Magee, the Pitts
burg stove manufacturer, has ordered
it removed. From the pride of the Cal
ifornia vineyards the vine will be
turned into a museum curiosity. The
Santa Barbara chamber of commerce
will preserve it as a specimen of what
the soil Of Santa Barbara county is

THE CENTENNIAL BREWERY.
One of the Largest Enterprises of the
Kind in the Northwest.

One of the Largest Enterprises of the
Kind in the Northwest.
1t is almost within the history of the
past 10 years that the brewing of beer
has become a prominent part of the
trade of Butte. Established in the lat
ter 70's the Centennial brewery has
grown from a very modest beginning
until it to-day occupies a foremost
place among the great breweries of
the country and leads among those of
Montana.
The plant is of modern construction
and it may truthfully be said that
every year since its establishment has
witnessed some new addition. The ca
pacity is now 10000 barrels annually,
and in the cold storage cellars 10000
barrels of beer may be stored and ri
pened at one time. The refrigerating
and ice plant is complete in every de-
tail.
A new bottling plant has just been
completed in which 260 dozen are bot
tied daily.
The water used in the manufacture of
Centennial beer is one of the chief
causes of it's superiority. 1t is obtained
from two natural springs on the prem
Uses. For the production of malt Gal
latin barley, which Is recognized the
world over as the best, is used eXclu-
sively.
The very large sale of Centennial
beer in Butte and through the state is
the most forcible Endorsement of its
quality. It is Notwithstanding and nu-
tritious, and is especially adapted for
ladies and elderly people or men not
accustomed to intoxicating drinks. No
effort of the company is spared in keep
ing the quality of the beer up to the
highest standard of purity and the peo-
pie are not slow to show their appreci-
