HALLOWEEN
Has Come and Gone, and Has Had
Its Usual oBservanee-The Wealth

Mont.

It's Usual observance-The Wealth
er Kept the Boys Indoors Last
Night.
This Is the night o. Hallow Fen
When a the witchie MIGHT be seen,
Some o. them black, some o. them green,
Some o. them like turkeY-beRn.
Last night was Hallow Zen, and as
has long been the custom. as brown
old October takes his leave and No
vember's fierce winds and chilly wealth
er takes Its place. the evening was
given up to merry making by the
young folks all over the city. It was
d good night for the indoor pastimes
that go toward making Hallow Zen
gatherings attractive, but the weather
had dampenlng eftect on the small
boy who Is wont to play havoc with
gates, shutters, ETC., that are not Sc
curely fastened.
1t Is the one night above all others
that the average boy thinks about for
weeks In advance, and lays awake
night, wondering what new and novel
sort OF mischief he can work on the
old folks and the nelghbors. It Is also
night when the young lass In her

their fortunes In various ways in a
vain endeavor TO penetrate into what
the future may have in store for them
In the matrimonial line. All these
things were tried last night, just as
they have been tried In the days Of
our grandmothers. and just as they
will be tried by our grandchildren.
The eve Of November Is the mystic
season In the calendar. After 6 o'clock
on the evening Of October 81 fairy folk
are supposed to walk abroad, much
after the method OF good old Santa
Claus. and rule over the fortune of
mortals everywhere. Hallow Fen COM
memorates a very ancient festival In
stituted In the earliest centuries by the
Celts and their priests, the Druids, for
the purpose OF rejoicing over the in
flowing OF the harvest. Among the SUI
perstItIous people even to this day all
sorts of magical charms and spells are
invoked to avert evil fortune and se-
cure the favor Of fairy folk, through
whom the dlvlnlties dispense or with
hold favors.
In America all superstitlous Idea has
been eliminated. The day Is reserved
as one OF the tolliest of all the year,
and 1t is growing rapidly in favor in
the middle and western states 1t
calls, however, Tor speclal type OF
games and frolics in keeping with the
traditional meaning Of the day, in
which mysticism, chance and nonsense
are happily blended. There's no lack
OF the goblin element and fairy folk
walk in most entertaining gulse.
The police force was extremely vigil
ant last night in order to prevent the
boys from going too far with joke,
or destroying property, but the rain
had the effect of keeping most Of the
mischief makers under cover. How
ever, not a few helated pedestrians ran
into that knockers" or fell over some
body's shutter or door steps that had
probably been carried n mile or two
away from where they belonged. There
were also number or gates hanging
on lamp posts or telegraph poles, and
on one OF these out In the East End
a card was nailed. upon which was
printed -'Shut the Gate" 1t hung about
twenty feet in the air on a telephone
pole.

According to Bradstreet's OF the 25th
inst, Secretary Gage succeeded in pur-
chasing bonds to the amount OF $4,000
600 up to Friday evening in his efforts
TO relieve the Wall street spectators
from being squeezed for want OF ready
money to carry their speculations. The
fancy premiums offered have not sue
ceeded in bringing in the bonds se rap
IDLY as was expected and it is now
claimed the purchase was unnecessary
ssthe country could have got along
without the extra cash. The offer is
open for only thirty days TO sell bonds to
the government at the rare premiums
offered and 9 suggestion is made that the
secretary make the temporary effort per-
manent 30 that tho Shylooks can avail
themselves OF il at any time. As 3 per
cent bonds. u consequence OF the gov.
ernment's recent purchases OF 4 and 5
per cent bonds, have advanced very ma
terially in premium, the suggestion of
the moneyed interests to keep the gov
ernment treasury open permanently on
the other bonds comes in quite appro.
priately. The two ends can be played
against the middle indefinitely in this
scheme to milk the treasury.

MANILA, Nov. 2S.-The last Filipino
council of wal was held by the re-

18th in the house now occupied by Cen
eral Macarthur. 1t was attended by
Aguinaldo. Pho del Pillar, Garcia, Ale

so.called cabinet. Information has
reached General Macarthur from
several sources to the effect that the
council recognized the futility Of at
tempting further resistance to the
Americans with united forces and
agreed that the Filipino troops should
scatter and should hereafter follow
guerrilla methods. The desperate stu
alton of the generals with their APP
proximate forces is as follows:
General Conception, with $40 men, in
New Egija province; General Maca-
bolos, with 3o5 men. at Binaca; General
