and will clean out the insurgents who
have infested that region ever since the
fall of Manila. The insurgents in this
section are believed to number about
1900 or 1000 men.

The Kentucky n Speedy Boat.

Against tide, wind and a heavy sea,
for at least half of her course, the new
battleship Kentucky made record of
1857 knots an hour on her official speed
trial over the government course from
Cape Ann to Boone island on the cath,
and by her work showed that she is a
little faster than her sister ship Kcar-
sarge, which recently was sent over
the same course. The trial satisfied
her builders that she can justly be
rated 17-l<not vessel, although her
contract speed only calls for 16 knots.

VIII Quit Fighting IL Land is Restored

a delegation of Yaqui Indian squaws
recently arrived at Ortiz, Mex, on the
way to Guayamas. They are the bear
ers of message from the chiefs of the
tribes to President Diaz, which they
expect to forward through the mill
tary officer in command at Guayamas.
In this message the Indians offer To
Jay down their arms provided the con
ditions existing when the recent out
break occurred are restored. This
means that the land awarded TO the
Indians under the original treaty OF
peace be given back to them. The
squaws say the Indians refuse to ne
gotiate for peace through Gen. Torres
because he kills all Yaqui prisoners
who fall into his hands.

Robbers Made Good Haul at Brooklyn.
The safe in the Exchange Savings

burglars early on the morning of the
2lst, and over 81, 900 in currency stolen.
The job was the work of three men.
Entrance to the bank building was
made by breaking the transom window
over the front door. This transom is a
little more than six feet from the side
walk and it is supposed that one of the
men stood upon the shoulders of the
other two men while he broke out the
glass, and then crawled inside and tore
off the bolts which fastened the door,
admitting his companions. The insti-

Fishing With an Umbrella.

For the first time in several seasons
the weakfish are running in the waters
of the Hudson off Sing Sing. Quite
a number of fishermen have made good
strikes, the catches averaging about
two and half pounds in weight.
Sandworms, shrimps and shedder
crabs may be used with good advan-
tage to inveigle the fish to bite, and it
is believed that the fish will remain
for some time if heavy storm does
not come and freshen the waters Of
the river.
There is also an abundance of crabs,
and perch may be caught by the score.
The favorite way of catching these
plucky pan fish is with the aid of a
dipsey. This is contrivance made
out of an old umbrella frame. The
handle is cut off and a stout cord at
tached to it. Then hook is attached
to the tip of each rib with foot or so

small pieces of sandworms or shrimps.

enjoys the confidence and friendship
Of very many people. Her husband,
Henry Wright, was one of the pioneers
of the State, having gone to Colorado
thirty-eight years ago. Mrs. Wright
is q descendant on both sides from
early colonial settlers OF America. Two
ancestors in her mothers family, John
and Jacob Reeve, came over in the
MayAower. Her father was pioneer
in Wisconsin, as she has been in COL
orado. He was Presbyterian clergy
man, and one of the earliest advocates
for advanced education for girls.
He founded the Wisconsin Fe-
male College, the first college for
women in Wisconsin, and was the
president for many years. Mrs.
Wright's interests were all along edu-
cational lines in her girlhood, and she
has never changed in that respect.
Mrs. Frances F. Lee, the other
woman representative from Arapahoe
County, is the wife of Frank ". Lee,

of five children, of ages ranging from
three to eleven, and has always had

Mrs. Mary East is said to have
been the pioneer woman in England
to hold some of the offices as to which
woman's eligibility is now in dispute,
but she was elected because she dis

six years this remarkable woman,
while masquerading as q man and
acting as landlord of the White Horse
Inn at Poplar, rerved assiduously on
juries and IN parish offices. In 174i
she was ''head borough" and in 1852

was finally discovered she retired to

A Big Scotch Station.

A large railway station has recently
been completed at Edinburg, Scot
land, by the reconstruction of what is
known as the Waverley station. It
covers twenty-three acres, of which
eleven anu one-half acres are under
roof. It has two main line platforms,
two suburban platforms and fifteen
platforms for stub tracks, the total
length of platforms being 13, $50 feet.
There are eight main tracks through
the station and ffty-six stub tracks
and sidings. The 22S switches and
29O signals are operated by 53S levers
in four signal towers, the largest OF
these having 26O levers. The mum.
Der of people departing from and ar.
irving at this station is estimated as at
least 13, ,000,0 900 per annum, or $4,000
per day. On busy day there were
no less than 1896 train movements, OF
which 649 were passenger trains. The
others were empty trains, through
freight trains and engines going to
and from the water cranes and turn
tables.

dirty trousers, APPARENTLY day laborer,
was one of five on a Madison avenue
car. The man next to him on the
crowded seat was neatly dressed, and,
to save his new trousers, edged away
as far as possible from his unkempt
ueighbor. A woman pushed her way
in between the seats. The poor man
promptly gave her his place. She
took it without 8 word. Soon man
sitting beside her got off the car. The
dirty man took his place. The woman
glanced at his trousers and edged
away from him. The poor man looked
off into the mist, some of which was in
his eyes.-New York Commercial Ad-

A Shrinking World.

The remark in the House of Com

portation is the question of the day,
reminds US that one of the marvels of
the age is the rapidity with which
formerly remote quarters of the earth
are being brought close together. Ac.
cording to the Russian minister Of
railways, when Russia's new Trans
Siberian railroad is finished the trip
around the world can be mado in
thirty-three days. When Jules Verne
just twenty-five years ago sent the
fictitious Phineas Fogg around the
earth in eighty days this exploit was
deemed to be about as near the abso'
lutely impossible as at the time Puck:
feat was of putting q girdle ''rounc
about the earth in forty minutes
Two women, travelling in opposite
directions, beat Fogg's mythical ex
plot few years ago. When the Rus
eian railroad is built, however, the
record of their iourneyings will, il
the comparison, seem like the ole
stage coach and sailing vessel travels
do to day.

complacently as it would mend nose.
The process of dimple making is thus
described. A small glass tube is fixed
over the spot chosen, and, cocoine
having been applied, the skin is sucked
into the tube, tied at the base with a
silk thread, the tube is removed and
point of skin cut away with sharp
scissors. The wound is properly
dressed, and tiny silver cone inverted
over it to mark the centre. Healing
is rapid, and, behold the dimple!

A Pjnk-Lined Veil,

There is decidedly new and novel
idea in wells. These wells are called
beautiiers and combine two articles
in one. An attractive example is
shown in black chiffon veil scattered
with chenille dots. by means of which
dots pale veil is attached as q sort
of lining. This provides becoming
soft rose tint to the complexion. An
other OF the beautiful new wells is of
white mousseline de sole sprinkled
with black silk dots. 1t is finished
with tiny satin-edged frill of plated
mousseline de sole. It is considered
the quintessence of smartness to wear
the ruffle at the top of the veil, as it
makes an effective trimming for the

HIs Heart on the Right SIDE

Richard Warden, aged forty-seven
years, prominent citizen of Williams
burg, Ohio, died at his home in that
village recently.
He was frequently laughed at by his
friends because Of his positive asser.
tion that his heart was on the right
side. A post-mortem examination re-
vealed the fact that such was the
case.
The unnatural position of Warden's
heart caused him considerable pain
and complete disarrangement OF the
organs of his body.

waists are with US, and very smart
they are.
The silk ones are not as novel, how
ever, as the flannel waists, which are
to be had in excellent qualities OF
French flannel, in motor red, mauVe,
white, golden brown and black.
The new feature of the flannel waist
is that it is either tucked, hemstitched,
or embroidered in bands, both front
and back, very much on the order OF
the more elaborate linen waists, but
no yoke in the back, as that idea IS
decidedly passe. Then there are the
new cotton corduroy shirt waists with
embroidered bosoms in contrasting
colors, or strips of colored embroidery
down the front.
Those in white corduroy with bands
of red embroidery on the front are
very chic and especially we'll adapted
to cycling, golf and yachting costumes,
when worn with the new homespun
skirts and scarlet coats, with which
the world seems to be too abundantly
supplied just now.
For morning wear at the seashore,
on the links and in the mountains, the
red coat has simply played havoc with

everything before it-and it has evil

Trusted His Dog Too Far.

It is not always safe to put too
much trust in a dog. An Ellsworth
man had a highly priced dog, and
when neighbor presented a bill for
two hens which he claimed had been
killed by the brute the dog owner
was grieved and positively refused to
believe the charge or pay for the hens.
A few days later the Ellsworth man
was driving by the farm where the
hens had been killed. The dog was
with him in the carriage. He drove
into the farmers yard to prove to him
that his dog was not guilty. s'Let
out your hens" he said, "and I'll
call the dog out of the carriage to
prove that he will not kill hens" It
was done. Before the dog could be
stopped he had killed four. The
owner of the dog, who never dis
honors just bill, pulled out his wal
let and settled for six hens.-Bangor
