peace with independence and honor. "
That is substantially what George
Washington and his band of fellow
patriots said to the envoy from George
III. This rebel envoy points out to
Gen, Otis that after an effort lasting
the better part OF a year with an army
Of 10000 men he holds only "a few
miles around Manila, n narrow line Of
railway to Angeles and a circle Of
country around San Fernando" per

and over 10000 square miles of Luzon

OF the Filiplnos is concerned, this en-

they can win their independence, Is

She was dressed in deep mourning, but

The EnOrmity Melted.

There was especial opposition to the
disturbance Of the old Granary burial
ground adjoining the Common in Bos-
ton, through portion Of which the
subway runs. 1t was necessary to re-
move the remains Of 90 persons in
tered there. One elderly man Of
Scotch descent made great fuss over
what he termed "thc enormity Of mo-
Testing the bones of his ancestors"
After much argument, delay and per-
suaslon the venerable Scot was in
duced to agree that IL the city would
construct n tomb according TO his
ideas he would consent to the removal
without causing further trouble. On
the day the vault was completed the
guardian of his progenitors was taken
over to inspect this new repository.
"Now," said Dr. Green, former
mayor, who had charge of the work Of
removing the bodies, you can set a
day and the remains can be brought
over and deposited here"
"What" exclaimed the old gentle
man. "Havc that nice new tomb lit

Thus did he secure. without cost,

Tic Saw the Point.

a FORMER attorney general OF the

the following anecdotes OF Mr.. Justice
Miller of the federal supreme court:
Judge Miller was very agreeable
man socially, but in the later years of
his life became somewhat impatient
upon the bench. He was no orator him

all attempts ut orntory In court. have
seen him on more than one occasion

ambitious orator expected to charm

mcr day, MS 1t IL said. he was holding
court IN western state. and II lawyer,
whom we will call Brown. was nd
dressing him In long. rambling
speech. The judge listened and canned
himself and fdgeted about on tn,
bench for some time. and. finally. lean.
Ing over his desk. said In an audible
whisper. "Confound 1t Brown, come TO
the point"
What point2" inquired the some

Two Austrian FOps.

The two greatest handles at the En-
press Maria Therasa's court were
Count Crobor and Marquis Taroncca.
These two men made a wager as to
who should appear IN the most costly
costume at the next court ball, jewels
to be debarred. The Marquis Taroncca
appeared in most gorgeous apparel and
WIS considered by every one to have
triumphed over his rival, who was at
tired in plain satin suit. While the
jury were deciding Count Crobor threw
open his plain satin cloak. and. placing
II on the ground, showed that it was
lined with one Of Correggio's most fa.
nous works. The count won the wager
1000 ducats-but the Correggio had
cost 100000 ducats.
The same count once paid visit to
Paris with large party OF friends
and entertained them at q dinner"
which lasted three days and nights. 1t
is interesting to note that this eXtrava-
CANT nobleman died In pcnury some 30
years later. Having exhausted his
means, he was pensioned by the EN-
peror Francis, but in 1865. when Fran
c.s died, his pension was reduced to
about $50 a year. One morning in mid
winter the frozen corpse Of the count
was discovered on n heap OF refuse on
the shores of the Danube.
