Story ef n yxfld Hoy.

The story of Peter, the wild boy, i5 told on the brass erecsad to his mem ory in the parish church Of North church, Hertfordsbtre. England. The celebrated Doctor Afbutaaot made 2 special study of Peer, but failed to make anything of him, and, when the novelty Of his appearance had worn off and be had been induced to wear the garb of civilization, be was pen sioned of and sent to the village Of Nof5hchareh. But he retained his yag- abond habits and gave his guardian much trouble by wandering off to dis. tant counties. As he could not speak or make himself understood of stran- gers, this propensity for straying brought him into trouble, and he was sometimes arrested as an obstinate began who would not give an account of himself Thus it was that a brass collar, engraved with his name and address, was fitted to his neck. He is said to have been fond of music, and he used to dance to express his delight at the sound of musical instruments. His tombstone is still standing near the doorway of Northchareh church. When he died he was 72 years old.

Ancient Nar sonra.

Julius Caesar had his men sing gongs of triumph after a victory and some of the verses are in existence to-day Edward I. had the Welsh bards put to death because he thought they melted the soldiers to battle. In Spain many traces of Roman war songs are to be found. Spanish and Portuguese war songs were called romancers. Tbe Cid written in the twelfth century, has al- ways been the martial inspiration of the Spaniards. What the Cid is to Spain the Roland is to France. The "Chanson De Roland" has been sung since the eleventh century, and has 1,5o0 verses.

saIted the Giant Powder.

If you never had a mine saIted on you remarked an old-time Colorado miner recently you have missed half of your chance to get good expo- rience."
 Did you ever have it happen to you 2a asked the stranger from the East
 Yes, my very first lesson cost me S5,o90, when I bought a mine in Lead vile that had been tunneIIed into the mountain side for nearly 200 feet. I had heard of the trick of saIting DroD- critics, so after the man showed ne what there was in sight he invited me to go right ahead and blast out several feet in order to satisfy myself, which I did, and the ore seemed to be just as good as it was when he was working 1t. Of course I bought it, and then it never paid a eent--it was salted."
 "Brt how could they salt three or four feet into the solid roek?"
 There was the trick of 1t. They didn't salt the rock, but put gold colors Into the giant powder, and as long as that lasted there was gold in sight,

TRAITS OF THE CAT.
Some Points Which Prove It to be sOii-
 tary Animal.

Eary &AuIludAs
 All the cats habits show it to be by nature a solitary animal. Even Tn early life, when family ties bring out the instinct of association, this is ap- parent. If you compare the play or puppies with that of kitten you VIII find in one case that companionship or some kind is essential, for if a puppy has no playmate of his own species he will always try to make one of the nearest biped; whereas a cork or plt of string is all that is necessary to sat- isfy the requirements of the kitten. me way in which the cat takes it's food is 3 sure sign that in it's natural state 1t IS not in the habit Of associat1ng with greedy companions.

PHILIPPINES BOARD.
The Commission Will Meet in
Washington This Week.
RESURRECTION NAY BE CRUSHED.
Important Points Hereafter Occupied to
BE GarrisOned and the Neighborhood
Provided with Protection So Natives
Can Follow Their Vacations.

Washington, Oct. 23.-Arrangem
have been perfected by the state de-
partment for a meeting of the Philip
pine commission this week in Wash
ington. A telegram received by Secre-
tary Hay announces that Col. DENLY
and Prof. Worcester will reach this
city to-day. Mr.. Schurman, the presi-
dent of the commission, has been di-
rected to meet his colleagues, and Sec
rotary Long has given orders to Ad-
miral Dewey, assigning him to special
duty in connection with the commits
sion. The only absentee, therefore,
will be Gen. Otis, who has confided his
views to his associates and who will
doubtless be frequently communicated
with by cable.
1t is expected that the president will
see Col. DENLY and Prof. Worcester i'm
mediately upon their arrival and learn
the condition of affairs at the time of
their departure. Of course cable adj
vices have been received, but they do
not show that any important change
in the situation has taken place since
the departure of the two commissioners,
with the exception of the new military
move made by Gen. Otis. Therefore the
news of Col. DENLY and Prof. Worces-
ter will be fresh and will doubtless
be useful in connection with the work
of the commission. The commission
will recommend the character of gov
eminent for the several tribes in the
archipelago and will report exhaust
lively upon the sociological, industrial
and economic conditions prevailing in
the islands. The views of the COM
mission will be useful to the president
in the preparation of his message.
Admiral Dewey believes that the
campaign which Gen. Otis has begun
north of Manila will surely crush the
instruction. He and other officials
are especially pleased at the policy of
establishing garrisons, which Gen.
Otis has begun at San Isidro. As I'M
derstood by the war department, all
important points hereafter occupied
will be garrisoned and the country in
the immediate neigh borhood provided
with permanent protection, so that the
natives can return undisturbed to
their usual vocations. The execution
of such policy will, the officials be-
ieve, have an important effect upon
the Filipinos and will aid in bringing
the revolt to an end.

THE IoWANs SAFE.
The Transport Senator Arrives at SAN
FranciscO-The TyphoOn Missed
by Sailing East.

San Francisco, Oct. 23.-The Fifty
first regiment of Iowa volunteers,
numbering 764 men and 46 officers. un-
der command of Col. j. c. Lopez. ar
rived here yesterday from Manila on
the transport Senator. There was no
sickness aboard. The only death re-
ported is that of Edward Kissiclz, COM
pany F, of Oskaloosa, Ia, who died at
Nagasaki of dysentery. The only in
cident of the voyage was an accident
that happened to Edwin Statler, COM
pany M, and Homer A. Read, company
A, three days out from Nagasaki.
They were injured by the breaking of
the aftersail which fell on them.
Statler's leg was broken and Read sus-
tanned fracture of the skull. Both
men are doing well.
The Senator missed the typhoon
which the Empress of India encoun-
tered by sailing east instead of taking
the northern route.
Adjt. Gen. Byers, of Iowa, represent
ing Gov. Shaw, and 300 citizens of Iowa
met the Senator at the Golden Gate in
a number of tugs. They received a
royal reception from the volunteers.

COLUMBIA WINS THE CUP.
Race and LiptOn's Last Hope to Cap
ture the Trophy Expired.

Highlands, N. j., Oct. e1.-In an 49,
knot breeze, the sea covered with white
caps, the Columbia won the third race
and the cup this afternoon, crossing
the home line at 2:39:4O, with the Sham
rock about two-thirds of mile behind.
The challenger crossed the finish line
at 2:44:45. AS the yacht winning
three out Of five races wins the
Americas cup, the trophy is sure to
stay on this side until another chal-
lenger is builded. The Columbia won
her first race last Monday. That, like
in to-day's race, was over course
Is miles and return. The second race,
Tuesday, the Shamroclz's mast broke
and the defender won by sailing over
the course alone. Yesterdays contest
was not finished in the time limit. Sir
Thomas Upton hopes to arrange
another race between the two yachts,
but the result, of course, will have no
bearing on the disposal of the Ameri-
ga c1n

BLUE AND GRAY TOGETHER.
Ex-Contederatos from Missouri wlm Join
1900 Veterans from the soldiers, Home
in Honor OF Returning kansans.

Leavenworth, Kan, Oct. 21--The
committees arranging for the recep-
ton for company c, Twentieth Kansas
volunteers. were informed that the ex-
confederates living across the river in
Platte county, Mo-, would participate
in the demonstration when the boys re-
turn home. They are anxious to join
with the veterans of the soldiers home
in extending a warm greeting to the
Philippine heroes. Over 1900 veterans
will parade with the young soldiers,
and if enough can be gathered of old
muskets, knapsacks and civil war
equipment, a company will carry the
same just to show the difference be-
tween the old and the new. Most of
the veterans are old and feeble and
many will make this parade in honor
of the Twentieth Kansas their last one
in public.
