If the Charleston hotels, boarding
houses aud restaurants charge no
higher prices than laid down IN the
Re union Guide Book there Will! be
10 complaint by veterans and other
Re union visitors, but, if such extor-
tionate prices are charged as have
been quoted by some Of them to
those who have written to engage
board, there will be such a kick that
Charleston and Charleston people will
regret that they ever heard of the
Re union. Those who have the
affairs Of the Re union in charge
should ascertain right now and have
it positively understood what rates
the hotels and boarding houses will
charge, so that there can be 20 mis-
understanding Those who expect
to attend the Reunion will not object
to paying reasonable rates, but they
do not propose to buy outright all
of the hotels, boarding houses and
restaurants in Charleston. If they
are expected to pay famine prices
for lodging and rations while IN
Charleston, a majority of them pre-
fer to remain at home. There will
be an immense crowd in Charleston
during the Reunion AID there will be
no necessity for extort!on, for the
hotels will reap a rich harvest and
make more money at reasonable rates
that they have in many long day.
To double and treble prices would
be an outrage.

THE KATIPUNAN.

The rich natives who had become
Masons in Spain formed Masonic
lodges when they returned t5 Mania.
Their history is preserved thossH
writer's who find in Masonry t6e ksy
of all iniquities. There is even az
awful tale of a female lodge il op6ra@'
ton in Manila. Doubtless these;
lodges were more or less given 10
political intrigue, as in other coun-
tries where Masonry is under the ban
OF authority and religion, but they had
no definite political programme. In
1892, rich and intellectual natives re-
turning from Spain Organized the Liga
Filipino, to promote educational and
industrial progress with a view to
national regeneration and ultimate
liberation. This association did not
long survive repressive measures, and
its influence was captured by a rival,
the Katipunan, which was conducted by
the ignorant and obscure for the same
avowed purposes as the Liga Filipino.
It's crude ritual enforced the drawing
of blood from the arm for use in sign
ing the rolls. This pledge of brother
hood is based on notions current
throughout the primitive world. Magel-1
Ian and Legaspi had mingled blood and
wine to drink pledges OF alliance with
Filipino chiefs and tribes. The Japan
csc drop blood into the seal of sacred
pledges. Between these rites lay the
form of the Katipunan, which has
been denounced as cannibalistic by
every Spanish chronicler. Thous-
ands have been imprisoned and hun
dreds shot because their arms bore,
the scar of initiation.
The growth of the Katipunan order
was rapid, Tens of thousands were
added to its rolls during the three
years preceding the OF tbreak. -Har-

TOUCHES A JUDGES HEART.
Case of Boy in Magistrates Court
Appeals to Him.

Magistrate Crane took time enough
to preach practical sermon yesterday.
The arraignment of Louis E. Wilson,
whose nineteenth birthday is close at
hand, on the charge of petty larceny
prompted the sermon.
The boy has been in the employ of
the Scoville & Adams Co., dealers in
Photographic supplies, for two months.
and he was accused of stealing $3.50
from his employers. The principal
witness against him was Julian Web
ster, private detective, who charged
that he bought camera from Wilson
for which the firm did not receive the
money. Henry Scott, an elderly
man, appeared for the company. He
is its assistant secretary.
The prisoners appearance was in
his favor. Through somebody's adj
vice,-for everybody seemed to be in
his favor, even the policeman who ar
rested him-Wilson pleaded not guilty.
To the magistrate, however, he imme-
diately dropped all attempt at legal
subterfuge.
Your Honor, did it," he began. "I
am very sorry for it. I will never do
it again"
What have you got to say to that?"
the magistrate asked Scott.
Scott replied by saying that there
were many clerks in the establishment,
and 1t was desirable to make an exam
pie of Wilson.
hfYNN a
week." the magistrate wanted to
know.
Five dollars week." was the
prompt reply.
The magistrate swallowed lump in
his throat.
Five dollars week is not enough
for this boy to live upon. 1t is no
great wonder that he stole" he said.
Scott admitted that it was little, but
added: Il began on 50 week and
swung myself up to 81 200 a year."
You can't tell me anything along
that l'ne that do not know" the mag
istrate broke in. Il have passed
through that kind of experience right
here in New York. l have heard of a
number of exceptional cases like yours,
but my experience was entirely differ
ent. l got 81 a week for a long time.
You probably had your parents here
in New York, didn't you?"
Scott nodded.
We'll, had nobody" the magistrate
continued. Il had to get along on TIE
81 week the best way l could. In
my case my employers paid no more at
tention to me than If were a dog.

confess that only the knowledge that
had a mother who believed in my alb
solute honesty restrained me from
stealing. The firm was one of the

ANIMAL AERoNAUTs.
Gnats and Sfiders That Make Balloon
discussions

41H
The ordinary California buzzard, and
the singular ravens of Santa Catalina
Island, often give marvellous exhibit
! tons OF soaring or rising into the air
without moving their wings, and when
1t is remembered that their bodies are
reduced to minip,ur of weight, and
that even the ZONES are filled with air,
it Is almost scientifically and literally
] true that they are living balloons. As
stroller who had descended the bank
by little trail, crouched low in the
shadow of wild lilac, he saw against
the dark green bank of the opposite
canyon a cobweb afioat; then another,
drifting down the aerial channel on the
wind. Others followed procession
OF webs was passing; some were long
and formed Of single thread of silk;
others had delicate mass of fabric
attached. Presently one of them came
so near that he put out his hand and
caught it.
1t was a perfect balloon, and the
aeronaut-a small spider-sat com
placently on its basket, fluffy mass oil
web half an inch in length, light as q
feather and supported by long thread
which reached away, undulating and
curving upward. Scores of these aero
nauts passed by, drifting up the little
canyon, borne aloft by the upward cur
rent OF air. The stroller noticed a
number of spiders on the leaves and
branches in singular attitudes, and
then it occurred to him that here was
a spider migration, and that instead OF
walking or crawling away, the insects
were going, like Andree, by balloon.
More on the leaves of the Wild lilac
were preparing for the journey across
the chasm. forming. building and
launching their balloons. A spider
that had been actively climbing up a
branch Of a neighboring oak now stood
on an cutter leaf and prepared to make
its balloon. 1t had a wonderful ar
rangenent Of spinnerets in which the
balloon making material, which is also
employed to construct nests and traps,
is stored
Some OF the spiders have an addi-
tional spinning organ and a comb-like
implement upon the hind legs, by
which they comb out the silk, making
a tangle of fine webs. Thus they are
well prepared to make cables for bal
looms, guy ropes, net, and, by the aid
of the comb. a fluffy platform web.
Some of the spiders made little plat
forms of fluffy web as they went:
others merely chung to the thread; but
in one way or me other scores of them
crossed the canyons and travelled
through the air; aeronauts in all the
name implies.
