A Whimsical Wager.

A young Austrian nobleman, who
had the reputation of being Il brilliant
talker, made a wager with a clUn friend
that during the first year of Ills mar
riage with the daughter of a certain
count he would preserve rigid silence
when in her presence, and, in fact,
would not speak single word to her
This resolution he faithfully kept; but.
owing to the fact that the wager was
not made public, some very curious con-
sequences ensued.
His wife, believing him to be insane,
privately sent brain specialist to ex-
anime the taciturn gentleman. He was
on the point of being conveyed tG a
sanatarium when he disclosed the rea-
son of his behavior. When the year was
up, he claimed his wager. which was
duly paid.

Serious Fire Averted,
Especial to the TELECRAM.)

Especial to the TELEGRAM
Williamstown, VT, July 17,-Wha
would have proved to be a serious fire
and which had already threatened to
imperil the lives of $50 participants al
the Williamstown Band promenade
here, was heroically averted by one
named Wilfred Cram of this place, who
took serious chances to save the town
hall from being destroyed by fire as
we'll as to save the lives of those pres
ent who thronged the hall to the doors
The fire was discovered by lady
living opposite the hall who saw the
flames of an exploded lamp through
one of the windows in the upper portion
of the hall. She Immediately commun-
icated With parties at the hail, and Mr..
Cram, who appeared 10 be the first up
on the scene, rushed to the upper
chamber, grasped the burning lamp
which was enveloped in flames, and by
jumping a flight of stairs, threw the
mass of fire into the street.
The people were pretty well fright
ened when the cry of fire rang through
the building, and grand march, which
had just arrived at an interesting part,
was readily dismissed without amy i'm
mediate ceremony. The whole scare
was all over in few minutes and the
music by the band and the marches
were resumed with a new spirit,
Much credit is due to the party dis
covering the fire, as well as the heroic
work of Wilford Cram for saving the
town hall and its occupants from being
u mass of smoking debris the next morn
ing.
As far as could be learned no damage
was caused by the fire except IL chair
and this, with the exploded lamp, was
left to smoke on the outside.

Real Situation In The Philip

Newspaper Correspondents
Unite in Unvciling the
Deceit of Censors
Publishers Press Cablcgram.)


Hong Kong, July H. The under
signed being all the staff correspondents
of American newspapers in Manila
write the following statement:
"We believe that owing to the official
dispatches from Manila having been
made public at Washington the people
of the United States have not received Il
correct impression of the situation in
the Philippines.
That these dispatches have presented
an ultra-optimistic view that is not
shared by the general officers in the
field.
We believe these newspapers have
incorrectly represented the exact con-
dtion amongst the Filipinos respecting
the internal dissension and demoralizat-
ion resulting from the American cam
paign and the brigand character of their
army.
We believe that the dispatches err
in the description of the situation as
being we'll in hand and in the assump-
ton that the insurrection can be speed
lily ended without a greatly increased
force.
We think the tenacity and purpose of
the insurgents has been underestimated
and the statements that the volunteers
are willing to give further service are
unfounded.
Censorship has compelled us to par
ticipate in this misrepresentation by the
eXcising and altering to uncontroverted
statements and they were fixed on the
plea as Otis stated - they wonld alarm
the people at home or " the people of
he United Stlt,s by the ears"
Specialists on this are prohibited
from sending postal reports and the
number of heat prostrations in the field,
The suppression of the full reports of
the field operations in the event of their
failure has been systematic and there
has been prohibition of sending COM
plete reports on the situation.
