UNHEALTHY BED CLOTHES.
Rendered Deadly by Devices of tho Man-
 ufacturer to Increase Weight.


 ufacturer to Increase Weight.
 Science! Thy name is adulteration. Another terror has been added to exist ence by the revelation made by an English trade paper of the processes by which certain manufacturers "fll" the sheets and blankets with which they flood the market. We are told that af- ter a piece of waste sheeting has been woven the cloth is passed over trough containing solution of zinc, sulphate of magnesia Commonly known as Ep- som salts) and water. This is called a sprinkler. A revolving brush plays spray of these noxious ingredients upon the cloth, with the result that a f1fty-pound piece after the operation weighs seven and one-half pounds more than when it left the loom. AS the goods are sold by the pound the object is evident. But what about the pur- chaser? A piece cuts up into ten pairs of sheets. Each pair. therefore, con- tains three-Quarters of pound Of misunderstanding material. The re- suits are appalling. As soon as wet day comes the sheets become damp and the luckless wight who sleeps be- tween them is apt to contract chill that may send him to the bourne whence no traveller returns. Even if suspicious are aroused and he boldly. casts aside the sheets and wraps him. self in the blankets it may avail him nothing. For the blanket makers have learned the trick, and the same ill-re- suits may ensue. Next we shall hear that the counterpane makers are equal ly astute, and the timid sleeper may be driven to provide himselfwith the wool en sleeping bags that suggest travels in the furthest north. The only advantage of these filled" or heavily "sized" sheets and blankets is that they are death to insects. But if they kill the sleeper as we'll as the pulex irritants-to say nothing of the cimexlectularius-w boots it?

A SPEEDY TRICYCLE..
HENRY FoURNlER HAS SUCCEEDED IN
 MAKING 45 MILES AN HOUR.

Ahe Machine is Light, Easy to Manage and
 Powerful, But the Speed Is Dangerous
 and No One Else Cares to Try It-Future
 Improvements.
 Like the question of reducing to three days the time 1t takes to cross the Atlantic, the increase of the biey- cle,s speed to a point where the rider can travel as speedily and as safely as on railroad train. is one of the things that seems bound to be attained. It is as surely coming achievement that awaits us in the future as Is the per- fecting of the machinery of the ocean greyhound so that the present speed of the marine flyers can be doubled. h the days when bicycles run at 8 speed Of forty-dve miles an hour clear track will be absolutely necessary, so that with locomotive engine pace will have to come special track for the wheel men, desirable improvement that will be welcomed by all lovers of the wheel. The attainment of the speed named by the bicycle seems to be in the hands of Henri Fournier, who has become known as the king of automobilists. What Fournier does not know about the petroleum tricycle. may as we'll be omitted from the wheelman's educa- tion.
 At present he uses the petroleum tri- cycle of the Dion-Bouton kind, with a 11A horse power machine, averaging forty kilometres an hour. The machine is comparatively light, easy of manip- ulation and powerful. It is fitted with motor of from one to three horse power, its hill climbing and speed Ga- pabilities being gauged thereby.

THEY DESERVE CREDIT.

officials have been appointed for all dis

Dec. 20. Already the various officers are
busily engaged in the preliminary work
and they are making every effort and TAX

to get complete and accurate data
The Porto Rican Benevolent society OF
Ponce deserves much credit for the very
efficient work it has been doing in re-

poor of this city, especially among the
poor and sick women and children. The
society is made up of the leading ladies
of Ponce, and has over 100 mem bers. only
eight of whom are Americans. The ladies'
work Systematically and personally visit
the poor and help them. This is quite a
departure from the ancient custom here.
The society is going to hold bazaar in
the remodeled La Porta theater in De-
cember for the purpose of raising funds
to establish an almshouse in order to
take the numerous heggars off the streets
of Ponce. Thee is no such institution
here, although there is great need of one.
When the almshouse is instituted a large

hoped there will be a generous response
for the contributions will serve the double
purpose of helping a worthy cause and of
introducing American merchandise into

ATTEMPTED BANK ROBBERY.
Two Merry Highwaymen Try to Carry
OF 100000.

Vancouver, B. c.. Nov. 1.-The
steamer Miowera from Sydney to-day
brings a sensational story of attempted
robbery of the Bank of New South
Wales in Melbourne of 100000. Chief
Cashier Pearson was temporarily alb
sent from his desk when two men @n-
tered the bank. one of them asking the
sub teller for change for half a crown.
AS the teller turned ito procure the
change he was confronted with the
head and shoulders of a second man,
who was half over a wooden barrier
with 10000 in his hands. The teller
forced the thief to drop the money
Both robbers hurried from the bank.
but had the effrontery to return to the
bank within Is minutes and make an
other attempt to capture the money.
In this they were not successful. Two
men named Voigt and Harris have
been arrested for the attempted theft.

Negotiations a Failure,


The efforts at Cancellation with
Aguinaldo and his commissions are set
forth in detail. The commission adds
that nothing came Of the negotiations,
as Aguinaldos emissaries were with
out power and merely came and came
again for information.
The report sums up the result of
those fruitless exchanges as follows:
NO better proof could be furnished
that the primary object of his struggle
is not, as is pretended. the liberty of
the Filipino people, but the continu-
ance of his own arbitrary and despotic
power. In any event, the American
people may feel confident that no eff
fort was omitted by the commission to
secure peaceful end of the struggle
but the opportunities they offered and
urged were all neglected, if not, indeed,
spurned."
Self-Government.
The chapter devoted to Capacity
for self-government" is the result, the
report states, of diligent inquiry for
several months, in the course of which
amined of all shades of political
thought and varieties of occupation.
tribe and locality. The most striking
and perhaps the most significant fact
in the entire situation is the multiple
ity of tribes then inhabiting the arch
guages (Which are mutually unintell-
gihle) and the multifarious phases of
vilization-ranging all the way from
the highest to the lowest. AS to this,
the report says: THE Filipinos are
not a nation, but variegated assem-
blage of different tribes and people.
and their loyalty is still of the tribal
type"
Concerning their intellectual capac-
ity the commission says: LAS to the
general intellectual capacities of the
Filipinos the commission is disposed
to rate them high. But. excepting, in
a limited number of persons, these
capacities have not been developed
by education or experience. The masses
of the people are uneducated. That in
teligent public opinion on which pop
ular government rests does not exist
in the Philippines. And it cannot ex-
list until education has elevated the
masses, brcadened their intellectual
horizon and disciplined their faculty
of judgment. Even then the power
of elf-government cannot be assumed
without considerable previous train
ing and experiences, under the guild
ance and tutelage of an enlightened
and liberal foreign power. For the
bald fact is that the Filipinos have
never had any experience in governing
themselves
