Doing Pennnce for Sins.

In former times persons guilty OF
gricvous and notorious offenses were
required to make open confession, and
further to make satisfaction for the
Scandal given by their bad example by
doing penance publicly in white
sheet in their parish church. The sheet
was used to show clearly to everyone
which was the offender. The last time
that public pcnance was done in an
English church was on Sunday even
ing, July so, 1882, when a man named
Hartree, in the church of All Saints,
East Clevedon. made an open confess
sion OF immortality, and promised to
perform the penance thus imposed on
him by the vicar. No white sheet was
used on this occasion. The last case
in which one was used appears to have
been one IN St. Bridget's church, Ches-
ter, in 1851. But on that occasion the
penance was not public, the church
door being locked. In the previous
year, however, public penance in a
white sheet was done in a country
church in Essex, and a similar thing
occurred in Ditton church, near Cam
bridge, in 1S49.-Stray Stories.

The Baltimore and Ohio South
Western Rail Road placed in service
several months ago five large ten
wheel compound passenger engines for
use on fast trains between Cincinnati
and ST. Louis. The performance OF
these engines has been eminently sat
isfactory and up to the highest expec-
tation. The same line has also in SER
vice 80 consolidation compound freight
engines which provide ample power
for the entire line in addition to what
was already in use. The compound
engines were an experiment but hard
service has proved that they are en-
tirely successful and show saving OF
10 per cent in fuel as compared with!
simple engines of the same type. Ex-
haustive tests were made with both
the simple and compound locomotives
before the order for the entire lot was
placed with the result vastly in favor
of the compound locomotives.

metropolitan Begsars' Trust.

The New York police have recently
made the discovery that most OF the
successful beggars in the city belong
to trust. The beggars' trust is said
to own a large house in Brooklyn,
which provides every description of
beggars' supplies, including bogus
wooden arms, legs, hump backs, pltirul
placards for alleged blind men and
cripples. etc. The beggars pay the
trust certain percentage of their earn
ings, and the trust regulates the hours
OF their labor, selects the districts, fur
nishes list of charitably disposed peo-
pie, and looks after members when i'll.
The police say that several wealthy
and cultured mendicants belonging to
the trust live in fashionable fats. Sew

moved from Calulut.
The insurgents offered a determined
resistance, but had to give way before
the American troops. Their loss was
very heavy. Major O'Briens force
killed forty-nine insurgents, wounded
a large number, and brought in twen-
ty-eight prisoners.

CHAPTER X.

Il ask himi Do you dream for one
moment that l shall ask him for it,"
Evelyn opened her eyes in amazement.
She began to think she had perhaps
made mistake in pretending she had
been an interested listener to the re-
cent conversation.
Certainly! Did you not understand
me? You have merely to say you
wish for the check in order to COM
pare it with your own signature, and
the rest becomes easy. Lady Howard,
you quite agree with me?"
And do you suppose that Major
Browns suspicious will not be aroused
at once?" exclaimed Evelyn. caring
nothing either for her aunt's or for
Faikland's opinion upon the subject.
Not is ridiculous! 1t would be
worse than useless!"
But, Eve dear, surely Mr.. Falk-
land must know better than you"
He may, of course; but, for all that,
l should not like to be the one to
make the attempt. If you think your
plan will answer, though, why not ask
Major Brown yourself?" she added,
turning a somewhat indignant look
upon Gilbert Falkland. You have al
ways disliked him; so you ought tc
be satisfied now if there is chance
OK convicting him Of forgery"
Eyes, Miss Luttrell, you are right
l had my suspicious of him from the
first" returned Falkland, rather pc
culiar expression coming into his face.
"I never dreamed. however, that they
would be so speedily realized. But, as
to your suggestion. l would willingly
follow it if l could. only it is ten to
one that where he would most prob
ably comply with one of your requests
mine would absolutely fail. But think
it over to yourself for half an hour.
Anyhow, we must do something to-

Throws Doubt on tho Reporr.

Paris, Nov. THE conclusion OF
the Philippine commission, as given
in its recent report, that the Filipinos
are incapable OF self-government, is
accepted in a general way by conserv-
alive minds here, but yet with a GER
tain reserve. 1t is pointed out that
when the Americans carried war into
the Philippines on the pretext Of aid
ing the natives to throw off the Span
ish yoke and win their independence,
the same language was addressed by
the Spaniards to the Americans con-
corning the incapacity of the Filipinos
directing their own affairs"

night. Every moment is of conse-
ouence. and We must secure it
if not by fair means-well, in such Il
case as this l suppose any means are
allowable!"
Evelyn's only answer was deep
eieh as she rose slowly to her feet and
turred away with a strange inexpli-
cable longing to be left alone to her
own thoughts, conflicting ones though
they were. to be worried by no more
cross-questioning or cynical taunts
concerning the man whom. despite her
short acquaintance with him and her
aunt's strong prejudices. she was be-
ginning to regard with something
which was not exactly mere interest
No wonder, therefore, that this lat
est affair had been to her like blow
flat for the time being she was sim
rIv stunned by the seriousness of the
discovery. She could hardly believe
that everything had been done with
one aim and object in view, that all
the Majors attentions, his numerous
iittle acts of kindness to both her aunt
and herself, had been part of deeply
Io,.l scheme. il was too terrible to
think how easily she had been duped,
how she had been carried away by his
well assumed courtesies, in many cases
falling readily into the traps which
had been so ingeniously contrived for
her. Yet, as she reviewed the past
two weeks, it seemed incredible to her
that il should really be so-that a
man who could commit such a DELHI
crate felony could at the same time
possess such fascinating manners and
appear, as he always did, SO thorough
IL at his ease.
It was growing dark when Evelyn
reused herself YEARLY from her some
what harassing reveries, and turned
her footsteps in the direction of the
brilliant lampllght which was stream
ing forth from Lady Towards room.
Her aunt had disappeared some time
previously, alarmed no doubt by the
Leavily falling dew, and it was only
as the hour was struck by some dis
tant clock that Evelyn remembered
she would be waiting for her TO make
her coffee.
Great was her astonishment, how

ever, as she drew slowly nearer and
nearer, to hear the sound Of voices
and to behold not only her aunt, but
two other figures sitting in the shade
of the veranda One was Falkland
she would have recognized his pale,
rather cadaverous-looking face a mile
away-and the other Oh it was abb
surd! She must be dreaming! 1t was
beyond the bounds OF possibility! 1t
could not be Major Brown!
Whether it was beyond the bounds Of
possibility or not, it was certainly the
Major who sprang up at her approach,
and who moved his chair to one side
to allow her TO pass with that same
spontaneous courtesy which had struck
her from the first.
Dear me, child, where have you
been? I thought you were lost!" ex-
claimed her lasyship by way CT greet
ing Ring the bell, dear, and say we
are ready for coffee. They are later
than usual this evening""
But Evelyn did not utter a word
as she passed silently through into
the sitting room. At the sight of the
Major her heart had given one tre-
mendous bound, and now it was beat
ing almost to suffocation. What was
he doing there? What could be the
reason? Never before had she seen
either her aunt or Falkland making
themselves so obviously agreeable to
him. Never before had he even been
made welcome to their room.

who had followed her through the
window-"this will be your opportu-

chance. Go out the instant your aunt
leaves the veranda, and in as casual
a way as possible try to gain posses
sion of that check"

ried words, Evelyn started slightly and

Morgan Presents Novel Views on the

Manila, Nov. 7.-Magalang, taken
yesterday by two columns Of Gen. Mac
Arthur's division, under Col. Smith
and Major O'Brien, is a strong town
situated midway between Angeles and
Arayat. The movement is part Of a
plan for the Americans to possess all
the country to the southeast Of Tarlac,
as the troops close in on the capital,
cutting the line Of the enemys retreat
in that direction. The insurgent force
is estimated at LOCO.
Col. Smith first encountered a small
force intrenched a quarter-Elile beyond
Angeles, which soon retreated leaving
two Of their number dead. The enemy
made n short stand at the outskirts Of
Barrios and San Francisco, briskly
shooting at the advancing Americans.
Capt. Brush deployed with the advance
guard Of the battalion and charged the
FilipinOs, who took TO flight Seven
Americans were wounded. The Amer
leans almost surrounded the insur-

DENNY AND WORCESTER NAMED
May he Appointed to Rule Philippines
with Gen. Otis


Washington. Nov. THE Philip
pine commission will complete its re-
port by the time congress meets. and
it is said that the president may re-
quest Col. DENLY and Prof. Worcester
to return to Manila to continue their
Investigations, and at the same time
assist Gen. Otis and the natives in ar
ranging local governments. 1t IS now
believed by the commissioners that
the instruction will be crushed with
in the next two or three months, and
that there will be much work TO be
done in organizing local governments
adapted to the various tribes and To-
calities.
The president may act on the sug-
gestion that he select commissioners
to govern the island instead of a gov
ernor general when peace IS restored.
Several Of the commissioners favor
this idea. because it would be a change
from the Gne-man power which be-
came so Objectionable under the Span
ish rule.
The president may, therefore, select
COL DENLY and Prof Worcester as
civil commissioners to act with Gen.
Otis in the government of the islands,
to show that it is not alone a military
government.
Secretary Root says there Is no
truth in the report that Gen. Brooke
is to be recalled and another governor
general appointed for Cuba. Gen.
Brooke will remain so long as an army
officer is kept as governor general OF
the island, as he has given perfect sat
isfaction to the president and the war
department He may be succeeded by
civil governor, but not by another
military governor.

NAV Reiect Rus.lnn steamer.

San Francisco, Nov. THE Russian
steamer Dolney Vastock has arrived
from Honolulu in tow of the tug Re-

broken down just outside the heads.
The steamer took ship load of Japan
Gee to Honolulu and she was to pro-
coed here with all dispatch, to be

to arrive on time will probably cost
her the charter, the British steamer

place.
