the declaration of Monroeism would leave

Unsuccessful Attempt.

Manila, July 31.-The insurgents
made an unsuccessful attempt to re-
capture the town of Calamba, on the
shore of Laguna de Bay, which the
forces of Gen. Hall captured last
Wednesday afternoon. The rebels
numbered 2,4O0 men. The attack was
made simultaneously from the north
and south, the Filipinos apparently
thinking that they would confuse the
Americans by attacking from two
points at once. Two companies of the
Twenty-first infantry, a squadron of
cavalry and one gun sufficed to repulse
the attack from the north, while the
400 men of the Washington regiment,
comprising part of Gen. Halls COM
mand. and a detachment of cavalry,
drove off the rebels who had advanced
from the south. The loss of the in
surgents is not known. The American
loss was one killed and seven wounded

Progressing Rapidly.

Kingston, Jamaica, July 3l.-A pri-
waite cable dispatch received here by
way of Cape Haytien reports that the
revolution in Santo Domingo is pro-
crossing rapidly. Great excitement
prevails owing to the fact that the gov
eminent has not been able TO ascertain
the extent of the ramifications of the
revolution, and is growing demoralized
through the death of the president. In
the event of the revolution succeeding,
according to the private cablegram, il is
probable that Jiminez and Jitonel, the
reputed leaders of the revolution, will
agree to retire, offering the presidency
to Gen. Maxine Gomez, who would
prove acceptable to all parties. y depu-
tation, ii is reported, is going to Cuba TO
confer with Gen. Gomez

An Example Of What the MAN Of the
Camera Endures.

Camera Endures.
A yomng photographer, when asked
what sort of subjects presented the
greatest difficulties to him, replied
without moments hesitation, "Ba-
bies "
"For instance" he continued, 81
took photographs of little 10-months-
old fellow the other day in six different
positions. Yesterday sent proofs to
his mother. and today she brought them
In.
I'm sorry she said. without any
obvious grief, but none of these mega
tives will do.
Not one of the sixi' inquired,
though l was prepared for what was to
follow.
No. she said, I'm afraid not.
You see, like this one very we'll,
though, of course, it doesn't do baby
justice, but his Aunt Ellen says it's an
absolute caricature of the dear little
fellow. The one she likes I don't care
for at all, and his papa says he should
never know for whom il was intended,
it looks so cross, and baby is such sun
shiny child.
The one he likes, this smiling one,
shouldn't consider for moment. for
1t makes baby's mouth look go much
larger than it really is.
His grandmother chose that one,
but as Cousin Fanny said, there's a
very queer look to the ohild's eyes in it
very queerl However. she likes that
one where he's almost crying, that So
Der one. You ought to have heard ba-
by's grandfather when she said she
liked it.
He really decided the thing, for
what he said seemed so sensible. He
asked me why I didn't have some more
taken and see if there wouldn't be at
least one that would really look like
baby. Now, when can he sit again? It's
hard for me to spare the time but you
see 1t is the only thing to be donel' -

Bank Impertinence.

The Philadelphia Record tells of an
old Pennsylvania farmer who recently
came into possession of check for
5000. 1t caused him great deal of anx-
iety, and for a long time he could not
muster up the courage to have it oashed.
Finally, while on trip to town, he
summoned up nerve enough and, stroll
ing into the bank, presented the check.
The teller glanced at it hastily, and
then, after the fashion of his kind,
brusquely asked, "What denomina-
tion?''
Lutheran, gol durn it'll But what g
tibet got tew do with it?" as brusquely
replied the old farmer, to the great u.s.
constituent of the bank official.
1t required several minutes explana-
ton before the teller could get the old
man to understand his question, and
then the latter took his money and de-
parted, with sundry growls derogatory
to banks in general.

"Now that you've finished shaving
me, how many strokes of the razor did
it require?" asked the man in the chair,

"That's pretty hard to tell, I" said the
barber.
"Of course it is. But you've been in
the business how long?"
"Fifteen years.

about how many strokes of the razor it
requires to shave man, supposing that
you go over his face second time"

"All right. what's your guess? Re-

"Well, should say about 1885,"
YOU'RE a good guesser, don't

habit of counting the strokes of razor

good way to employ your mind. In
shaving me you just made 732 strokes
with the razor"

mo man believes it until he takes
the trouble to count. In my case never

Arrest OF Andrew White May Reveal an
Insurance Swindle.
Baldwin, Mich, Feb. 13.-Andrew M.
White has been arrested in Williams
port, Pa, and will be brought here to
answer to a charge of desecrating a
grave. A requisition made by the gov
ernor Of Michigan has been honored by
the governor of Pennsylvania. In Mo-
vember last White visited Baldwin
looking for a brother Frank, who he
said had been hunting In the neighbour
hood Of this place. During his search
he visited some of the deserted lumber
camps and found in one of the huts a
mans boot sticking UP through the
earth floor Diggers uncovered a body
which White said he recognized as that
Of his brother.
The find aroused the people of the
town to a high pitch, and an investiga-
ton was begun. It was found that the
remains were those of stranger who
had died some time before, and who had
been inferred in the town cemetery. The
officials suspected that a swindle of
some kind was being worked and that
the body had been exhumed and re-
buried in the hut to carry out the
scheme. 1t was asserted that the re-
mains were not those Of Whites BROTH
er, and some Of the mill hands recog-
nized them as those of Alexander Nc
Leon. White was arrested, but the au-
thorities were compelled to release him
at the time for lack Of evidence. Local
officials believe there is large insurance
on the life of Frank, and that he is in
the land of the living.
