NO FURTHER HOsTILITEs.
FiIipinOs May Employ Tactics Used
Against Spanish.

Manila, Feb. 6, . a. m.-The Filpinos
have apparently reached the conclusion
that the Americans mean business, now
that the barriers are removed, as there
were no further hostilities last night and
no attempt was made to recover lost
ground.
Il is possible, however, that they are
following the tactics they employed
against the Spaniards, and will merely lie
off few days to recuperate their forces
before returning to the attack.
It is impossible to ascertain as yet how
the news has been received at Malolos, the
seat of the insurgent government but the
FnipinOs In Manila express the opinion
that the movement for independence has
received It's death blow. and that annexa-
ton viii soon be welcomed generally.

Americans Respond With a Most
Terrific Fire.
GOOD WORK OF WARSHIPS.
Twenty Americans Killed and Fill
pinO Losses Heavy,

Manila, Feb. g. S15 p. m.-The long-ex-
pected rupture between the Americans
and the Filipinos has come at last. The
former are now engaged in solving the
Philippine problem with the utmost ex-
petition possible.
The cash came at $40 yesterday even
ing, when three daring Filipinos darted
past the Nebraska regiments pickets at
Santa Mesa, but retired when challenged.
They repeated the experiment without
drawing the sentries' fire. But the last
time Corpl Greedy challenged the Fill
pnos and then fired, killing one of them
and wOundIng another.
Almost Immediately afterward the Fill
pno line from Calvocan to Santa Mesa
commenced a fusillade which was inef-
fectual.
The Nebraska, Montana and North Da-
koa outposts replied vigorously and held
their ground until reinforcements arrived.
The Fiipinos in the meantime concen-
Uated at three points, Calvocan, Gagalan-
gin and Santa Mesa.

LONGEST FOX RUN ON REC
ORD.

The greatest fox chase OF which
there is any authentic record took
place in the neighborhood Of
Long Branch, in Meade County,
last week. Ben Mathews, a col
ored man living at Long Branch,
has a foxhound named Queen.
One evening last week, when the
ali. was soft, Queen and her COM
paHion. Don, together with Jim
Bickerstaff's Old Maize, started
for the hill, near by, and were
not long absent when they start
ed a vigorous old fox. BY their
vigorous mouthing it was known
that they had a warm scent and
were on the trail of fox Of fine
staying qualities. For several
hours during the night the resi-
dents of that vicinity could hear
all three hounds tonguing togeth-
er, and then the two male dogs
dropped out Of the run, leaving
Queen to keep up the chase
alone. All night long she follow
ed the trail, and along toward
morning was joined by some
fresh hounds, who stayed with
her for few hours, fell out,
rested up and joined in the chase
again at intervals during the next
twenty hours.
On the second day of the
chase Will La Grand's Tige, d
hound noted for its staying quail
tiles, joined her and remained
until the close Of the run. Queen
was on the run, without rest, the
entire thirty six hours consumed
in the chase. She stopped only
when she had run reynard to
cover. After she had accom-
plished this she lay down and
guarded the burrow, and when
found by her owner was so stifi
and sore that she could not move
a limb, and had to be carried to
the house. Mathews, her owner,
thinks she is the best foxhounc
on earth. and would not trade
her for the best horse in Ken

2orH CENTURY MOVEMENT,

Editor Gazette: The Methodists
of Mississippi are grateful to the
newspapers of the State for fa-
vorably noticing their great
Twentieth Century Movement.
VIII you add to our obligation by
giving this communication a
place in your columns?
As has been repeatedly stated,
they have twofold object, viz:
A great spiritual awakening-a
revival Of vital godliness--in ev-
cry church, and the raising of at
least one million, five hundred
thousand dollars as a thank Of
fering to Almighty God for his
signal mercies in tho past, The
money will be devoted to the
cause OF Christian education,
which means SO much to both
Church and State.
The work has been inaugurated
in every pastoral charge in the
State, and special emphasis will
be given to it in every District
Conference. Picked men will be
detailed TO represent this cause
at these Conferences.
Bishop Galloway will attend
the Brookhaven District Confer
ehce, to convene at Brookhayen
April 27-3O. He hopes to meet
all the members Of the Confer
ence and any others interested.
The Presiding Elder. the Rev.
Fl. w. Featherstun, d. D., and
the Pastor at Brookhayen, the
Rev. T. w. Adams, are specially
anxious for a full attendance Of
preachers and laymen. Let each
make it a point to be present.
Let unceasing prayer be made
for a meeting that shall be mon
umental in the history Of the dis
trict. Yours truly,

Sawyer has just answered it in
work on longevity, says the San
Francisco Chronicle. He says
that sleep should occupy
third Of the twenty-four hours.
Although Il is figure is not az all
exaggerated. it must be noted
that some Of the greatest workers
OF our time never devoted eight
hours TO slumber. Thus, Sir
James Legges, professor Of Chin
ese at Oxford University, who
died at the age of SO, rose every
morning at 3 o'clock and never
slept more than five hours.
Brunei, the famous engineer,
worked twenty hours d day for
the greater part Of his life. Lord
lieathfield. while commander-in
chief of Gibraltar during tine four
years seige Of The fortress, never
took more than fours hours repose
He lived to be 81.
Alexander Humboldt, in his
old age, had Co sleep at least
four hours a day, but 1t seemed
that in his youth two hours was
sufficient. This savant conse-
quently maintained that ii was a
great mistake TO think eight
hours day necessary for sleep.
Littre rose at 8 a. M, and while
his bedroom, which served also
as a study, was being arranged,
went down stairs with a number
Of books, having learned from

at his desk until luncheon; at

sent off his proofs to the Journal

buted regularly from 1866. From
3 to 9 p., he worked at his die
tIonary; at 6 o'clock he dineG
and 7 o clock vert back to his
desk till 3 in the morning Otter

These instances show at leas
that longevity is not incompati.

WOMEN'S ODD PETS
Pigs. Frogs, Turkeys and Even Mice
Have Found Favor with
tia. Ladies.

Some minds are strikingly original.
even in the choice of pets. Certainly
this was the case with the wife of a
gentleman farmer who made pet of
pig. The animal lost its mother
early, and the lady, taking pity on the
little orphan, bore it off to the kitchen,
where she succeeded, by the aid or
feeding bottle. in rearing it.
The pig became great pet. and used
to follow its owner like dog. 1t
could hardly have been its outward
attraction that won her heart; 1T must
have been It's qualities which endeared
it to her.
Another very singular pet was
frog. which was tanned by young
piri in the country and would come out
from under the leaves at her approach
TO be fed with a strawberry.
A lady who was confined to her room
had a fowl which. before her illness,
was constant companion. 1t used TO
be regularly brought to her room every
morning to see her and to be fed by
her own hands, and allowed to take
q short walk about her room.
Another member of the feminine
gender actually made pet of turkey,
and declared it should never be
eaten, but die in its own good time,
which it did of old age.
A much more extraordinary in
stance of strange pet. for woman
at any rate, was where an old lady SO
far overcame the natural repugnance
of her sex as TO tame mouse which
had been caught in her store cupboard
So successful was her treatment that
at last the tiny animal would take
crumbs from its mistress fingers.

BAPTIZED IN A BATHTUB.
Invalid Woman Anxious to Observe
the Ordinances of the
Church.

A West side woman who is an in
valid has become church membe aft
er being baptized in bathtub. At the
unpretentious honle of the sick woman
the neighbors gathered to witness the
simple service that marked the con-
secretion of life TO the cause of Chris
tianity. Denied the privilege of going
to house of worship by reason of her
affliction, the good woman asked that
the rites of baptism be administered to
her in her own home, says the Chicago
Chronicle.
The family bathtub was brought
from the rear of the house and placed
in the room where the sick woman
lay upon her bed. II was then filed
with water and the preacher began the
service. Leaving her bed, the sick
woman, unassisted, walked across the
room to where he stood. The face,
though showing the signs of illness,
was lighted up with smiles that seemed
to show the consciousness of doing
what she believed was right. The
preacher then said the baptismal words
and she was gently put beneath the
water.

BLIND SPOT IN EVERY EYE.
No Human Being Is Gifted with Per-
feet Vision, Scientists
Say.

OF the many curious facts which are
discussed concerning the eye, what is
known as 1.-THE blind spot" seems the
least understood, says the Philadelphia
Record. In the eye itself certain things
may go on which give us wrong sensa-
tons, which, although not truly illu-
sions, are very much like them. Thus,
when we suddenly strike our heads or
faces against something in the dark,
we see stars" or bright sparks, which
we know are not real lights, though
they are quite as bright and sparkling
as if they were. When we close one
eye and look straight ahead at some
word or letter in the middle of this
page, for example, we seem to see not
only the thing we are looking at, but
everything else Immediately about it,
and for long way on each side. But
the truth is, there is large round spot,
somewhere near the point at which we
are looking, in which we see nothing.
Curiously enough, the existence of this
blind spot was not discovered by acct
dent, and nobody ever suspected it I'M
til Mariotte reasoned from the con-
struction of the eyeball that 1T must
exist and proceeded to find it.
