Marcos Morales Is Employed in the
Custom House at Havana.
Philadelphia, April 27.-The hiding
place of Marcos Morales, who was ar
rested here last October and escaped
from a detective at Pittsburg while
being taken to Chicago, was made
known to the police yesterday through
the arrest OF Morales son for mis-
demeanor In the prisoners possess
sion were found papers showing that
.his father is now in Cuba, being em-
ployed in the custom house at Havana
The elder Morales and his wife were
arrested here on the charge of being
fugitives from Chicago. where they
were wanted for alleged larceny OF
several thousand dollars worth of
household furniture. While being taken
back Morales jumped out of car win
dow and escaped. Mrs. Morales was
taken to Chicago and discharged.
A few years ago, prior to taking up
his residence in Chicago, Morales was
a wholesale tobacco dealer in this city
His warehouse burned and the insuf-
ance COMPANIES who had issued poll
cies on the stock of tobacco refused
payment thereon, claiming that much
of the most valuable stock had been
removed by Morales from the ware
house before the fire, and had there
fore not been destroyed. Lawsuits fol-
lowed. and Morales finally obtained
payment on his policies, though liti-
cation over the matter in various
phases was carried on for some time.
William M. Jacobs the now famous
Lancaster tobacco manufacturer, who
stands accused of circulating throu-
sands of counterfeit cigar revenue
stamps, was, with Morales, a party to
the suit against the insurance com
panies, he holding certificates showing
part ownership Of the stock Of to-
bacco which it was claimed had been
burned.

FORCED TO KILL HIMSELF.

Then Driven to Suicide.

He Was Declared Omcially DeaA ana
Then Driven to Suicide.
This is true story: In San Francisco
there's Chinese secret society the laws
Of which are as strict and unchanging az
those Of the Modes and Persians. One Of
the members of this society told some Of
It's secrets-an offense punishable by
death. He was to DO tried In the usual
way before tribunal of the society.
The night Of the ordeal was fixed. The
culprit was represented by able counsel,
but the sentence was death-as was eI-
pected. An executioner was called from
an adjoining room. He was a strapping
big Chinalnan and wore one Of those hid
eous wooden masks that art critics think
90 beautiful. He carried a double edged
sword fully five feet long. To test the
edge he folded newspaper In eight parts,
and the knife went through those eight
thicknesses Of paper as II 1t were bit Of
butter In summer time.
The culprit WAS put down upon his
knees, and another Chinaman, also on his
knees, faced him and caught the traitor by
the cue. He drew the oulprit's neck to.
ward him, the smook was pulled over his
shoulders. and with one mighty swing the
double edged sword descended. Like q
flash it Glove tho air and then-stopped.
A fractional part Of an inch separated the
sword from the victims neck. Very, very
gently the executioner brought the weapon
down until 1t just touched the traitors
neck. Then, as 1t Is q crime to kill man
in San Francisco, he stopped He brought
the sword to his side again, turned to the
judges and said:
''The oulprit Ia dead"
The newly executed got to his feet and
said something to the judge. The judge
did not heed-for the culprit was dead. He
tried to speak to the Cinnamon, who We're
hurrying from tho hall But he spoke to
deaf ears. To all intents and purposes he
was dead man.
He made his way into the street and the
first thing that caught his eye was huge
poster proclaiming to all Chinatown that
he had been executed that evening. No
one would speak to him, no one would
look at him. He was dead man-just as
dead as II the executioner's sword had In
reality descended.
about Chinatown, the posters proclaiming
his execution staring him in the face at
every turn. Not crust of bread could he
beg, not mouthful of water. His people
knew him as dead-he WAS past, gone
buried.
And SO one day he wandered up into the
American portion Of San Francisco and
stole revolver from q messenger boy,
who was showing it to some companions.
Then he ran down into Chinatown, sat
down ON the pavement beneath one of his
own death notices and blew the added
brains out Of his poor Chinese head. Phil

The Liar and the Thief.

Lying is of all mean traits Of character
the most despicable This is the crying
sin of the age-that men do not value their
word. If q man steals md is caught, the
world brands him thief and shuns him;
he can never outlive it; but If he lies,
though it may be proved, he is still re-
spectacle, and If he profit by the lie he Is
esteemed especially clever and smart.
But the thief Is not near SO dangerous
to society as the liar. We can protect our
selvcs against thieves, we can guard our
possessions, but the liar can penetrate the
strongest fortress and blast the most pre-
cious of our possessions. He can go into
court and rob or murder at will. He can
blast life or ruin fortune and there is
no redrcss.-Spartanburg Herald.

night. The sessions are to be held at
the Grand Opera House, continuing
until Saturday evening, with special
services and mass meetings throughout
the city churches on Sunday. Attend

most prominent Sunday school work
ers in the United States and the old
world, and while there are only 1000
authorized delegates, the city is
thronged with visitors.
The Opera House was crowded 10

ond vice president, Hon. J. M. Green,
of Atlanta, called the assemblage to
order. Governor Allen D. Gambler, Of
GeH;ia, welcomed the delegates, and
former Governor w. J. Northern ex-
tended greetings on behalf of the

PlNGREE'S LAW INVALID

According to Supreme Court De-
cision on Similar Measure.
Detroit, Mich. April 27--ln de-
cision handed down late yesterday the
state supreme court declared invalid
the main principle of the Pingree-At-
kinson equal taxation bill, which was
passed by the present session of the
legislature. The case was one inst-
tuted by Governor Pingree while the
Atkinson bill was hanging fire in the
legislature. to test the validity of all
act passed some Is years ago, provid-
ing for the taxing of telephone and
telegraph companies on the value of
their property, the tax, which was
levied by the state board of auditors,
to be used for specific purpose. The
supreme court holds that a tax on
property. based on an assessment, can
not be maintained as a specific tax"
1t is probable that steps will be taken
now to have the Atkinson act declared
invalid.

.CALUNPlr CAPTURED.
Our Troops in Possession Of the FIJI
'ipinos' Second Capital.
FIGHTING AT SHORT RANGE

The Rebels Were Pressed Back When
ever They Attempted to Make a
stand, and Finally Fled to the Hills,
Leaving heaps OF Dead In Trenches.
Manila, April 27.-Calumpit, the
Filipino capital, is in the possession
of the American troops. The flower
of Aguinaldo's army has been annihi-
lated and General Macarthur holds tbs
strategic key to the entire northern
part of Luzon.
Eight Americans were killed In the
assault upon the city. The loss to the
rebels was terrific. What remained OF
their army was finally driven back into
the town and beyond it to the hills.
General Macarthur had 5000 troops
engaged In the attack. Their valor was
unparalleled.
Calumpit was on fire when the con-
certed advance of General MacArthur's
division, comprising the brigades Of
Generals Hale, Wheaton and Lawton,
was ordered.
The insurgents met the advance with
severe firing The greater part OF
Aguinaldo's army was in the town and
the trenches before it, having made a
stand there after the fall Of Malolos.
The strategic attack upon the city
was made by Hale's brigade, which
moved down the right bank of the
Quingua river, and by Wheaton's bri-
gade, on the left bank.
General Wheaton's command. the
Kansas and Montana volunteers. re-
paired the bridge over the Bagbag river
in the morning. The volunteers then
crossed and rushed upon the Filipinos
in the trenches.
The order to advance upon Calum-
pit was received enthusiastically by
the American troops. There had long
been a thirst among the troops to
avenge the death of several of their
fellows during the fighting march from
Malolos, and they were eager for the
capture of the main stronghold OF
Aguinaldo and his men.
Scouting parties sent out short
time before the attack returned to re-
port that Calumpit had been set afire
by the rebels.
In the attack the American troops
we're deployed in long line before
the city. This line was gradually
closed in, maintaining an intense fir
ing upon the trenches and immediate
defenses of the capital.
1t was short range fighting, and the
Americans were more than equal to it
while the insurgents were pressed
back whenever they attempted a stand
The guns of the Utah artillery did
masterful work. They tore great gaps
in the trenches and drove the rebels
out with appalling slaughter. Then the
infantry men charged the trenches
The rebels stood their ground as Iona
as they could and then fed
The Americans then had little diff
Guilty in entering the city. The fire
set by the rebels was spreading rapidly
and it seemed a forlorn hope to at
tempt extinguishing it.
! On all sides was to be seen the havot
wrought by the intensity OF the Ameri
can firing. The dead rebels lay two
and even three, deep in some places
The trenches were choked with deat
bodies
