Each vessel came through the Straits

While of the PdtagOnian coast the.
wrecked vessels could be discetnsd,

father Mr.. j. T. Bats, of this city:
"Taguig, P. l., Oct. 10, 1899. Dear
Father 1t has been some time since l
received a letter from home, and | am
quite anxious to get one. | guess you
are looking for me to return home, but
am ''in it, again for two years. Our
company is fighting every day, and they
have just been ordered out have just
come off duty and have been ordered on
again for tomorrow.
"a large number of prisoners captured
by the Filipinos are returning home

"The Tennessee boys are on the bay
at Manila now, getting ready to leave
for home.

and had very nice trip, indeed. We
are located about thirty-one miles from
the city tWenty-one miles by water and
ten by land. We are near the old

There are more than 450 Tennessee

also good many in the Thirty seventh
"'Fall-in' has just been sounded, and
the sergeant is calling the roll. There

CATTLE THIEVES.
Two Negroes Arrested on SeriOUS
Charges by Sheriff Hight.
StOe Cattle in Roberts Bend aR5E
SOld Them to Parties IN
Columbia

Sheriff Hight and Deputy Harder
made good catch Friday night, as
result of which John Ellington and VIII
Joiner are now behind the bars at the
county Jail, awaiting the action of the
grand jury on a very serious charge
Friday morning Sheriff Hight was
notified by f. p. Roberts, of the Rob
erts' Bend neighborhood, that he had
missed several head of hogs from his
place and suspected that they were
stolen. Mr.. Hight began working on
the case Immediately, and in short
time discovered that the two negroes
named above had sold to Dooley L Har-
Olson, butchers on South Main street.
five hogs answering the description given
by Mr.. Roberts. Dooley & Hardison
paid $50, rs for the hogs and then sold
them to Houston Thomas.
While tracing the hogs, Mr.. Hight
was informed by Messrs. Dooley & Far.
Olson that they had also bought from
the same negroes two head of carrlss
These cattle also proved to be the prop
erty of Mr.. Roberts, and were stolen and
brought to town Monday.
Warrants were sworn out for Bilin e.
ton and Joiner, and Sheriff Hight and
Deputy Harder went to make the ar
rests. The former was found at his
home in the Roberts Bend neighbor-
hood, and the latter on his way to his
home near Timmons. Each of the ne
groes, upon being questioned, said that
the other one had stolen the cattle aud
that he only helped drive them to town
Both of them were dressed nicely and
had plenty of money
Other stock is reported missing in the
Roberts Bend neighborhood, and ii is
thought that the two negroes now under
arrest are responsible for their disap-
pearance.
Toll-gate keeper Harris, on the Santa
Fe pike, says that the negroes drove tive
hogs through that gate last Monday, GO
ing towards town, and Dooley a. Hardi-
son state that they bought three hogs
from them at another time this week
This is good catch for Sheriff Hight
and Deputy Harder, as the theft was
traced up and the arrests made before
the negroes had hardly reached home
from town.
Another Arrest.
Since the above was written, Deputy
Sheriff Harder has arrested another ne
gro near Timmons John Miller-on the

SOME of the papers are clamoring
for voting machines as a cure for
fraud in elections. That would be
about as effective as the licensed sa-
loon for the cure of drunkenness. To
have honest elections men must be
made honest. Men who hold high
positions in church and state and
society, should scorn the scurvy
tricks of dishonest knaves; then we
might have an approach to honesty
in elections. The pollution is at the
fountain head.

There Is a small snail which is so
fond OF the sea that it never comes
TO land, and it builds such capital
boat for itself and its eggs that while
large ships are sinking and steamers
are unable to face the storm it losses
about in perfect safety
The little snail is of a violet color
and is therefore called Ianthina. 1t
has a small shell and there projects
from the under part Of the body long.
tongue-like piece Of flesh. This is the
raft, and it is built upon most scientific
principles, for it has compartments in
1t for air, It is broad and the air COM
partmcnts are underneath, so that it
cannot capsize.
Moreover, the snail knows how to
stow away its cargo, for the oldest
eggs and those which hatch the soonest
are placed in the center and the light
est and newest on the sides of the raft.
The lanthina fills its own air com,
paruments by getting a globule Of air
underneath its head, the body is then
curved downward beneath the raft, and,
the head being tilted on one side, the
air rushes in and fills the spaces. 1t
feeds on a beautiful little jelly fish,
which has a fiat, raft-like form with a
pretty little sail upon it, and they con-
gregate in multitudes when the sea is
calm.
Sometimes specimens are washed up
on the northwestern coast of France,
and when they are handled they give
out violet dye.

By far the most striking characters
tic of Manila is the number, size and
splendor of the religious edifces.
Though the walled area is only about
$50 acres in extent, within these lin
its are half dozen churches, including
a cathedral. The spires and bell tow
ers of these massive structures form
the most picturesque characteristic fea-
ture of the city. The Oldest of the
existing churches, that of st. Angus
tine, was founded more than 300 years
ago. That it has withstood the ty-
phoons and earthquakes of three CEN
turtles is proof of its solidity and also
of the ability of its architect, a ne
phew of the builder OF the Escurial at
Madrid.
