Labuan, Island of Labuan, British
Borneo, January 24.-The steamer La

The Labuan brought IS women and
children here. They had been robbed
of everything, but otherwise had not
been i~ll-treated. The Sulus assisted
the Balabacs in killing the Spanish Of
ficers. The Spaniards have left Pala-
wan, where the natives were fearful of
the Sulus. Stores had been looted,
business was a standstill and the ma
tives were armed and ready for mis-
chief.
A despatch from Madrid, on January
8, said Gen. Rios, the Spanish COM
mander in the Philippines, had cabled
from Manila confirming the report that
all the Spaniards at Balabac had been
massacred with the exception of wO-
men, whose release was being asked
for.
The Madrid correspondent of the
Daily Mail, of London, telegraphed
from Madrid the same day that in the
rebellion at Balabac naval Lieut.. Bel
lamy was beheaded and that the rebels
also murdered a doctor and several
other Europeans. A gunboat was also
said to have fired on the rebels. It's

One Little Drop.

One little drop of rain does not pro-
duce much moisture; even two or
three, or half dozen, have little
effect. But the constant, continual
dripping of the rain drop will thor
oughly moisten the earth. Just so
with advertising. One little skinny
advertisement should not be expected
to produce very material results in
this age of the world, when so much
advertising is being done; but per-
sistently keeping at it, scarcely ever
fails.
Others have, perhaps, been adver-
tising something similar to yours,
long before your advertisement ap-
peared, and people may be using that
with satisfaction. Doyou expect one
little announcement of yours is suffi-
cient to make them change? But if
your advertisement is placed before
them time after time, they will con-
clude your article has merit, and may
be induced to try it to see if it might
not suit them better than the one
they are buying.

A Good Roads Object Lesson.

The Province of Silesia, according
to the report of Consul Erdman to
the State Department, offers an OBJ
iect lesson in good methods of road
management that ought to be of
great value III inspiring renewed ac-
tivity in this direction in the United
States. 1t is grave reflection that
it is necessary to go to small foreign
primary public requirement. The
secret of the success of the good-roads
movement, in Silesia and elsewhere,
is in the systematic manner in which
the question has been taken up. 81
lisia is especially worthy of note in
this respect.
According to the consular report,
the roads are divided into sections,
each of which is in charge of road
master, inspired to keep his section in
good order by the promise of a reward
of honorable mention and commen-
dation for the performance Of faithful
service. There is no material reward
outside of this, but it has proved suf-
tcient, it appears, to appeal to the
personal pride of each supervisor, and
the result has been the creation of
road system that must be almost per-
feet in its way. The turnpikes in the
province are all 100 feet in width,
three-fourths of which width is ma
cadamized and one-fourth natural
dirt road. On each side of the public
roads are paths for foot passengers,
and an additional feature of great
attraction is the planting on the in
side of the footways and outside of
the roadways of rows of fruit trees,
mostly cherry and blue plum of fine
variety. The trees not only give ex-
cellent shade, but provide a revenue
to the public funds of the various
counties, the fruit being sold at pub
lie auction for so much per tree for a
term of five years, the buyer binding

order, free from insects, and to white
wash them each spring up to the first
limb. The picturesque effect - in
spite of the whitewashing-of these
fruit trees extending for miles along
public road can readily be imagined.
There is a law of the province regu-
lating the width of wagon tires, so
that in this way all danger of undue
The Republican., 1899-07-27

wear upon the roads is avoided. and
there are never any rutS. The felloes
and tires of the wheels of vehicles are
never less than two inches wide.
Farm wagons have four-inch tires
and those of some vehicles are eight
inches wide. The gauge of all vehi-
cles is set at one and one-half metres,
equal to four feet eleven inches). The
result, according to Consul Erdman,
is that the roads are kept in better
condition than any macadamized
street he ever saw III this country.
Public pride in the roads al Silesia
has extended to all classes of citizens,
but il is admitted that until the far
mers were aroused to the value of the
system and the saving on wear and
tear of vehicles resulting from good
roads but little progress was made.
The lack of this general interest in
the question among farmers in this
country is the greatest hindrance to
the progress of the good-roads move
ment so far, The lesson taught by the
success of the experiment in Silesia
ought to convince our agricultural

themselves in the matter. Baltimore

AN IMPORTANT LINK.


Rrilway Move i'll Garrett County to Shorten
the Way to Pittsburg.
Tuesdays Baltimore Sun contained
Il telegram dated at Oakland the 24th
inst. which said:
There has been great deal of talk
for number of years past about COM
pleting the Oakland and Confluence
Railroad from Sang Run TO Oakland4
The Oakland and Confluence road
connects with the Pittsburg and.
Connellsville road at Confluence, Pa.
and runs up the big Youghiogheny
river, which crosses the Baltimore
and Ohio main line one mile and d
half west of Oakland. The Oakland
and Confluence road has been com
pleted and has been in successful
operation for several years up to Sang
Run.
X wealthy gentleman Of Pittsburg
was here day or two ago and told
9he Sun correspondent that he had
the most positive assurances from the
Baltimore and Ohio authorities that
the connecting link between Sang
Run and Oakland will be constructed,
and that the work will be commenced
i'll very short time. When this short
piece of road is built it will bring
Pittsburg and Allegheny cities within
four hours of Oakland and Mountain
Lake Park. Under present conditions
it takes a whole day to travel from
Pittsburg to Oakland, either by way
of Cumberland on the east or Fair
mont on the west.
The Importance of the proposed
connecting road to the mountain re-
sorts of this section cannot be over
estimated. If the cities of Pittsburg
and Allegheny and suburbs, with
their one million and a half of popu-
lation, can be brought within four
hours of Oakland, they would fill
every resort on top of this mountain
from May till October each year. In
addition to the summer resort bust
ness, the extension of the Oakland
and Confluence road to Oakland
would open up section of the State
rich in timber, coal, limestone and
fireclay. The fact is, Garrett county
could well afford to build this piece of
road if it should not be constructed
otherwise. The increased valuation
of property in the section through
which it will pass would soon repay
the county in the matter of taxes, 1t
may be properly said, however, that
Garrett county goes very slow on
public improvements"

SECRETARY ROOT.
\ New York Man to Succeed Russell A.
Alger.


Alger.
WASHINGTON, d. G., July 23.-lt
was officially announced yesterday
afternoon that Elihu Root, of New
York, had been rendered and had
accepted the appointment of Secreta-

Elihu Root is a well-known lawyer
at SO Liberty street, New York. He
was born in Clinton, Oneida county,
New York, February 10, 1915, the son
of Oren Root, who was professor of
mathematics in Hamilton College for
many years. Mr. Root paid for his
own education, teaching school to

ton from Hamilton College he stud
led law, completing his course at the
University Law School in New York
city. When he gained admission to

ticeship in the Office of Man & Pars-
ons. His first law partner was John
H. Strahan, and his next partnership
was with Willard Bartlett, who be
came Justice of the Supreme Court.
As young lawyer Mr.. Root became
active in politics in New York city.
He was a Republican, and in 1879 was
ha Dn,,,,hlicnr, candidate fnp It1Aua

was defeated. He became leader in
the Republican organization of his
assembly district, and in 1886 and 1887
was the chairman of the Republican
county committee. President Arthur
appointed Mr.. Root United States
district attorney for the southern
district of New, York, and he held the
office two years.
Mr.. Root was counsel for William
N. Tweed on the exposure of the
Tweed ring methods. He was coun-
sci for eX-Judge Hilton in the Stewart
will cases, and for the executors in
the Hoyt and Havemyer will cases,
and for the contestants in the Ham
ersley will case. In recent years Mr..
Root has been counsel, attorney and
legal adviser for several large corpo-
rations. He is member of the Bar
Association and of several clubs.
He was president of the Republican
club of New York few years ago, and
he succeeded Gen. Horace Porter as
president of the Union League Club
in 1898, being reelected at the begin
ming Of this year. Mr.. Root appeared
as counsel for Col. TheodoreRoosevelt
at the Republican State Convention
in Saratoga last fall. and made an
important speech, explaining Colonel
Roosevelt's reason for objecting to
being assessed for personal taxes in
New York city. He has been one of
Governor Roosevelt's advisers on po-
litical uuestSOns recently.
