Wants Them.
WASHINGTON, June 3O.-A state
ment prepared in the office of the
adjutant general of the army shows
that with the departure of the
Pennsylvania from San Francisco
about $500 reinforcements were dis
patched to the Philippines this week.
There are about 1900 recruits at San
Francisco which are also intended
to recruit the regular regiments in
the Philippines up to their maximum
strength of l29 men 70 a company.
Including the 10Th infantry, under
orders for Manila, and troops at
San Francisco there are 1900 ready
to start for Manila as soon as trans
portation can be provided.
The war department is awaiting
advices from Gen. Otis before pro-
ceeding actively.
THE ARMIES AT SAN FERNANDO.
MANILA, July 1.-lO.40 a. MA
collision between the two armies at
San Fernando seems inevitable soon.
The insurgents are active all around
the town and can be seen working in
the trenches to strengthen their posi-
ton. Day and night forces are at
work. 1t is estimated that three
thousand men were seen marching
in the road north of the city yester-
day morning.
The Americans turned out and
manned the defences, expecting an
attack. The soldiers sleep in their
clothes and breakfast at 4 o'clock in
the morning, so as to be ready for
daybreak assault.
The commission of three Spanish
officers who entered the insurgent
lines a fortnight ago to make a final
to arrange for the release of
the Spanish prisoners have not re-
turned.

And Youth, fold up those peacock
wings!
More rapture fills the years that pass
9lThan any hope the future brings
Aorr>> for tomorrow rashly pray,

But am sle'>fnr yesterday.
Since yesterday the Hills were blue
That shall be gray fore -ermore.
And the fair sunset was shot through
With colors never seen befSre!
Tyrannic Love smiled yesterday,
And lost the terrors of his sway.
But it is God again to-day.
All, who will give US back the past?
All, woe, that youth should love to

And is so fain to find the sea-

For breakers of the homeless deep.

ture OF the Nation.
MINIATURES, WIS, June 8.-Gov.
Roosevelt, who is visiting III this
city, was escorted to the Milwaukee
chamber of commerce to-day just
before the hour of closing and given
an enthusiastic reception. In ad-
dressing the bulls and bears he said:
AT the end of the nineteenth GEN.
tury, as this country moves along on
the road to greatness, she has many
serious problems to face, and when
she needs men to carry out her pur-
pose she can call upon men OF the
best thought and wisdom, just such
men as I am now addressing. You
of the great West hold in your hands
the future of this nation. 1t rests
with you and you will, Iknow, show
yourselves equal to the task. ---
I'VE always have with us our home
problems, and we should aim al
ways to get into public life men OF
courage. of common sense and OF
honesty. No amount of genius or
brilliancy can atone for lack of the
element of fearlessness, of decency
and horse sense, and no one or two
of these will avail unless the man
has all three. The ablest man alive,
if corrupt, is danger to the country
or community to just the extent OF
his brilliancy and ability, and you,
gentlemen, are in honor bound to
allow him to feel the weight of your
disapproval.
II don't care how brave man is,
if he is a natural-born fool, he is not
worth knocking in the head.
IF man is lacking in common
honesty, he is not fit for public life,
no matter how brilliant he may be.
I'VE have certain important
foreign problems which confront US.
The United States has evidently as
great a destiny OH the Pacific as on
the Atlantic ocean, and, whether we
live on the former or the latter, we
must be equally interested in the
welfare of the nation upon every
foreign question: We should all see
that the nation rises on the Atlantic,
and we have right to demand OF all
good citizens tn stand by the presl-
dent.
"We want to make it understood
that while we fear no nations ano
shirk no duty, we desire above all
things peace, and we feel that there
are three great nations which have
interests together. These are
America, England and Germany
These should work hand in hand fo'
the solution of the questions tha'
now confront us in the Pacific. =

Even TIE Seconds Escaped.

Two street porters in Bonn got into
row lately, and instead of punching
each others heads were persuaded to
fight duel "under severe conditions
They were stripped to the waist, blind
folded and armed with revolvera One
shot was to be fred at Is PAGES, blind
folded; then the combatants were to
raise the bandages, advance to ten PAGES
distance and fire again. Two rounds
were fred in this way without damage
to any one, not even the fozr seconds.
The latter then decided that honor was
satisfied. All the parties to the affair
have been arrested, the authorities ap-
parently being furious at the ridicule
upon dueling by the low rank OF the
combatants.

Closed House Precautions.

A house that is to be closed during
the summer should have sheet iron
screens fitted into each open crate. This
will prevent the SCOT sitting down into
the room, as it might easily do with
nobody to look out for it. Another eau
tion is to see that the ice box Is LETT
perfectly empty. with the exception OF
a shallow dish filled with charcoal and
that the doors stand wide open. One
more precaution is that any kerosene
lamps left in the house should be thor
oughly cleaned, the wicks taken out
and burned and the burners and tix-
lures boiled in soda water, to be left
absolutely clean. Nothing is more per
meating and offensive than the smell
from stale oil.

NEW USES OF PHOTOGRAPHY.
Taking Pictures Of the Growth OF Trees
and Animals.

Taking Pictures Of the Growth of Trees
and Animals.
| WASHINGTON, July 2,-The apri.
CULTURAL department has pressed the
moving picture machine into the
service of science. The division of
vegetable pathology now has a de-
vice OF this sort in operation in one
OF Its green houses, .photographing
the growth of small oak tree. The
machine works automatically, taking
a picture each hour. At night an
electric light is used when the ex-
posure is made. The machine has
been running about two weeks, and
will be kept going about A--"1eks
longer i~Fesent subject. When
tbe~series of pictures is complete it
WiA be possible to reproduce with
the stereopticon the growth of the
plant from the time the first shoot
appeared above the ground till the
tree is in full leaf and a foot or more
high.
In addition to the straight photo
graphic work expected of the new
machine, its designer intends to
adapt it to use with the X-ray, so as
to take pictures of certain objects
that otherwise would be invisible.
1t is thought by the department that
series of pictures of this sort taken
during the period of CESSATION would
be OF value to stock raisers, and
might be adapted to the use of the
medical profession in certain lines of
research.

The High Tide at Gettysburg.
By an EX-Confederate Soldier

(Members Of Grant Post of the
Grand Army of the Republic latel Y
made, with their families, visit to
the battlefield Of Gettysburg. The
occasion brought to the minds OF
some of them the really great poem
by Confederate soldier, published
on the twenty-fifth anniversary OF
the battle.)
A cloud possessed the hollow field,
The gathering battles smoky shield.
Athwart the gloom the lighting flash
ed,
And through the cloud some horse
men dashed,
And from the heights the thunder
pealed.
Then at the brief command of Lee,
Moved out that matchiess infantry,
With Pickett leading grandly down,
To rush against the roaring crown
Of those dread heights of destiny.
Far heard above the angry guns,
A cry across the tumult runs
The voice that rang through Shiloh S
woods
And Chickamauga's solitudes,
The fierce South cheering on her
sons!
All, how the whitening tempest blew
Against the front of Pettigrew!
A Kalnsin wind that scorched and
singed
Like that Internal flame that fringed
The British squares at Waterloo!
A thousand fell where Kemper led
A thousand died where Garnett bled !;
In binding fame and strangling
smoke
The remnant through the batteries
broke
And crossed the works with Armis-
tead.
"Once more in Glory's van with me J"
VIRGINIA cried to Tennessee;
1--WE two together, come what may,
Shall stand upon these works today"

Brave Tennessee! In reckless way
Virginia heard her comrade say:
"Close round this rent and riddled

What time she set her battle flag
Amid the guns of Doubleday.
But who shall break the guards that
wait
Before the awful face of Fate?
'rhe tattered standards of the South
Were shriveled at the cannon 3 mouth
And all her hopes were desolate.
In vain the Tennesseean set
His breast against the bayOnet!
In vain Virginia charged and ragged,
A tigress in her wrath uncaged,
Till all the hill was red and wet!
Above the bayohsts, mixed and
crossed,
Men saw a gray, gigantic ghost,
Receding through the battle cloud. !
And heard across the tempest loud
The death cry of a nation lost!
The brave went down! Without dis
