DUCKS OR STOCKS?
An Investment That Pays Better
Than DabbIinE in Stocks
on Tips.

A circular sent out by firm of tipsters.
says: 1t is now over three years since we
first addressed you about our stock opera
tions. During that time had you invested
500 at the beginning and compounded your
profits your 500 would now be nearly
$4,775. Is there any business that will pay
you better than $4,775 profits on 500 capt.
tai in three years?' A copy of the circular
fell into the hands of man who made this
rejoinder:
The answer is, yes-ducks, tame, pud-
die, muscOvy, Pekin, or any other breed.
A little girl had 10 cents with which she
bought sitting of duck eggs. She b0r
rOwed brooding chicken hen from Er
mother, and all the eggs were Matched ont.
Her profits for the first six months were S.,
and she kept three hens and drake for
the next six months operations. 1t is fair
topresume that her profits will be at least So
for each six months; one year SIG; three
years, $48. Divide $4S by her 10 cents and
the quotient will be 320-that is, each Of
her Is cents will produce 800 cents; on 81
or 100 cents the profit will be $4,000 cents,
or 1920; on 500 capital the profit would be
$4,000, against the .$4,775. Verify d good
investment is fin duck eggs"

1t Was Ordered to Return to Manila and
the Towns Taken From the Insur-
gents Were Evacuated.

MANILA, Philippine Islands, April II.
Maj. Gen. L&wton is returning with
his expedition to Manila, by order of
Gen. Otis, after evacuating the towns
of Paete, Longos, Lumbar, Pa Gasaian
and Santa Cruz, from which the rebels
had been driven.
Gen. LawtOn's troops are needed in
the movement north of Manila and
Laguna de Bay will be left to the in
surgents until the rainy season, when
the water will be higher, thus enab-
ling the army gunboats to get into the
rivers. The launches captured from
the insurgents are to be returned to
their former owners in Manila. Gen.
LawtOn said in an interview:
with the force l have there is no
doubt l could go through the whole
island, but if a government is to be
established it will be necessary to gar
rison all the towns. 1t would take
100, 900 men to pacify the islands. l re-
greet the necessity of abandoning the
captured territory"

JOHNS GOOD IDEA.
He Thought Angel Food Should
Have the Right Kind of
Brand on 1t.

A woman whose husband was physician
for the California state prison recently had
in her kitchen one OF the convicts from the
prison, a Chinaman, serving a short SEN
tence for theft, but whose subsequent good
behavior had made for him many friends
among the government officials. John was
a good cook and more than cleanly, so the
doctors wife hailed him with delight and
mourned greatly when the days were busy
and John was not allowed beyond the prs-
on walls. John, when in the world, had
heard good deal about the Sunday
school life OF his fellow celestials and
since his confinement had thought much on
the subject.
The doctor was very proud of Johns
cooking and one day invited a few friends
in for dinner. John was in his element
and prepared an elaborate meal. Among
the many delicacies for dessert ordered by
the doctors wife was an angel cake. John s
chief culinary success. Great was the con-
sterHation and surprise of the hostess and
the amusement of the guests when John
bobbed into the room carrying a huge
snowy, uncut angel cake, bearing across
the top in huge red letters the word Heav-
en-"
Johns dinner was 'howling" success.

CUBAN AFFAIRS.
Supreme Court to Consist of a Presi-
dent and Six Associate Justices.
The President VIII Receive $4,000 Year
Gen. Lee Reads His Farewell Address
to His Commando Gen. Gomez and
Daughter Visits Gen. Lee.

HAVANA, April 1.-THE Cuban gem
eral, Pedro Diaz, of the 9th army corps,
in the province of Pinar del Rio, was
offered $3.50 a month and the command
of zoo rural police in his province. He
declined the proposition on the ground
small. Brig. Gen. Henry C. Hasbrouck,
commander of the military department
of Pinar del Rio, raised the offer to $500
a month. These figures Gen. Diaz is
considering and will probably accept.
His force will be mounted, each private
receiving $50 a month and providing
his own equipment.
The decree constituting the supreme
court has been prepared with elaborate
care by Senior Lanuza, secretary of
justice in Gen. Brooke's advisory cab
met, and after thorough consideration
by the cabinet is ready to be promul-
gated.
1t establishes tribunal of last APP
peal in civil and criminal proceedings,
vesting the new body with full juris-
diction over such cases as formerly
went for final decision to Madrid. The
personnel of the court has not yet been
announced; but the tribunal will con-
sist of president at q salary of
Sc, 900 (American) and of six
associate justices at salaries of
s., 500. The attorney general will re-
ceive a salary of So, $50. The 9th
Illinois volunteers and the I'd artillery
were reviewed Sunday by Gov. Gen.
Brooke, Gen. Lee and Gen. Gomez. The
parade took place at o'clock Sunday
afternoon.
There were $40 men in the ranks,
the last of the 18th corps, and they
made an admirable showing. Gen..
Lee, in the farewell order which he
read, said among other things that
it had been the purpose of Presi-
dent Mckinley to assign to the
18th corps the duty and honor
of leading the assault upon Ha-
vana had that been necessary. Aft
! er the parade Gen. Gomez and his
daughter paid visit to Gen. Lee. Sen
orita Gomez will return to Santo Do
mingo this week but her father will
probably reman here indefinitely.

Mrs. EckrOate Heard the Shots and
Saw Mrs. George Fire Them.
The Person Then Walked Away to Va
cant Lot Through Which the Person
'Ran-The Person Identified as
the Woman Now on Trial.

CANTON, o., April 15.--Additional
cross examination of Mrs. Mary Fin
ley opened Fridays proceedings in the
trial of Mrs. George for the murder
of James D. Saxton. This was chiefly
directed toward proving that the wit
ness has been coached for her direct
testimony. Mrs. Mary Nauman related
conversations of Mrs. George. In one,
the latter told of having kept SaXton
from entering the Althouse home by
pointing a pistol and making him come
away with her. Mrs. George asked
SaXton if he was ready to die then,
and said she could have killed him
then, but wanted her husband Mr..
George, to get some of his money first.
She also detailed other threats made
by Mrs. George.
Mrs. McAllister related what Mrs.
George said of her grievances against
SaXton. John L. Jackson, a colOred
janitor, testified that Mrs. George
often came to him at the block where
he worked and said to him she would
kill SaXton if he did not settle with
her and quit going with Mrs. Althouse.
CANTON, o., April 1.-THE Mrs.
George trial opened Saturday morn
ing with Miss Matte Grimes on the
stand for cross examination. She eX-
planned that she especially observed
Mrs. Georges flushed face when she
passed her because she (the witness)
had heard of SaXton's death and had
been told of some of the relations be-
tween Saxton and Mrs. George.
Policeman E. E. Willis was called to
say that Mayor Rice was Mrs. Georges
counsel the morning after the ar
rest, but evidence was excluded. Mrs.
Oberlin, with whom Mrs. George
roomed, described Mrs. Georges APP
pearance and dress when she left the
house the morning of Saxton's death.
Mrs. Christina Eckroate presented
startling testimony. She testified to
going to her window on the night of
the murder after hearing two shots,
! and to seeing a person bend forward
and fire two shots towards the ground
and then walk away to a vacant lot
through which the person ran. She
identified the person as Mrs. George.
She had previously often noticed a
woman parading up and down the
whom she learned to know was Mrs.
George after peace proceedings had
been commenced by Mrs. Althouse.
Mrs. Eckroate is the first witness ex-
amined either in this hearing or in any
of the preliminary proceedings who
claimed to recognize the person in
| black
There had been some gossip about a
surprise eye witness" to be intro
duced.
In cross-examination the defense
sought to show that the witness did
not know Mrs. George well enough to
identify her and that the street was
too dark for any one to recognize a
! person across the street.
Mrs. Eckroate is passed middle life
and the mother of grown children.
The family is humble, but respected by
| those who know them. On the stand
Mrs Eckroate talked directly on the
subjects asked her.
She showed no unwillingness to an
swer the defense as readily as the
state. She did, however, show indica-
tions that she did not comprehend all
of the language and questions adj
dressed to her.

CIvIL-sERyICE LEAGUE.
Election Of Officers - Resolutions
Condemning the President.

INDIANAPOLIS, December 1j.-At the
business session of the National Civil
Service League to-day, all the old officers
were reelected, and resolutions, which
read in part as follows. were adopted:
"The league regards the order issued
by the President on the 18th of May last,
Withdrawing several thousand places
from the classified service and relaxing
the rules intended To prevent evasions
Of the law, as the first unmistakable
backward step taken by the Federal adj
ministration since the civil service law
was passed. The injurious effects of this
order have already been seen in the de-
moralization in many parts Of the Fede-
raj service in the encouragement OF the
enemies Of reform in their efforts TO
cripple the merit system. and secure
further relaxation of the rules, and In
the widespread dstrust OF the promises
OF the President and the party in power
to enforce and extend the civil service
law.
I'VE also regret that the President has
not yet fulfilled the assurance gwen by
him TO a committee of the league of his
intention 20 include in the classified SER
vice much larger number Of places than
those withdrawn. but, on the contrary
has included none whatever We venture
70 hope that such extensions may yet be
made at no distant day"
