TRUCK HANDLE FOR BARRELS

Tonglike Device for Lifting and Car
ryinE Bulky Packages.
A barrel Is an exceedingly awkward
thing to handle, and in establishments
where they are moved in large numbers
quite considerable amount of time IL
lost In placing them on the hand trucks
on which they are conveyed and in re-
moving them therefrom. In order to
facilitate this loading and unloading a
unique truck has been invented by
Theodore T. Dickerson, of Trimble,
Ala. It consists of the combination
with the axle Of curved gripping jaws,
more like great pair of plumbers
pinchers than anything else. The
levers operating the jaws form the
handles Of the truck. In practice the
truck is run up to the barrels and the
jaws clamped around the bottom, and

Resources Of the Is1ands.
The resources Of the islands are
varied. Rice was introduced from
China centuries ago. 1t has since be-
come the staple food Of the natives on
account Of the ease with which 1t is
produced. The quality is excellent. At
present all the rice produced Is con-
sumed in the islands, but much good
land is not cultivated.
Sugar cane is grown extensively
throughout the archipelago. or late
years beet sugar has cut into the profits
Of this business, but with the removal
Of the various Spanish export taxes,
with the supersedence Of buffalo power
by steam, and with the opening up Of
the back country by railroads, or at
least highroads, the Philippine planta-
lions will reduce the present Have

How They are Hunted Down BY the


Savannah. Ca, January 9.-Mr. Al
len. of this city. has just returned from
Baracoa and Santiago province. He
gives an interesting story Of the pursuit
and capture Of the Cuban major who
turned brigand. Mr.. Bond ays
while / was at Baracoa Colonel
WILLY was notified by Colonel Ray, at
Guantanamo, that a former major or
the Cuban army had organized a band.
stolen horses and committed other dep
relations In that district and was be-
lieved to be heading for Baracoa. The
information was turned over 10 Captain
Gallano, Of tho Cuban army who as
certained that two members OF the
gang had been in Baraica during the
day but had left several hours before.
HE Immediately started in pursuit,
sending small squads OF men cut on
each road, himself heading one squad.
He pureued the garg for twenty-five
miles over rough roads OF that couu-
try and finally caught the major and
some of his men in a house which the
party surrounded. He brought In h
machete and spurs of the late major,
whom he stated had been killed while
endeavoring to escape"
Speaking of the work Of the Cuban
~oonstabulary or gerdarmes. Mr.. Bond
says:
They did remarkable work. There
are about thirty Of them in the Bar
aica district. The VIII Die country IS
filled with desperate people. many OF
them former officers and members OF
the Cuban army who commit every out
rage, and who are ready for any sort
of deviltry. AS soon &C. 1t becomes
known that a man Is a desperate char
acter or that he has been guilty OF any
outrageous ~offense, his name Is placed
upon the black list. This list is turn
ed ever by Colonel WILLY to Captain
Gallano who proceeds to hunt the GRIM
inal down. Usually a machete and o.
pair of spurs are brought In by the
gendarmes as evidence that no further
trouble may be expected from the par
ties under the ban.

DR.. Pettus found business proceed

disease in very mild form, many Of the
patients not sick enough to be confin-

sent out were largely exaggerations.
