CHARGE OF THE FILIPINOS.
Bold Agninaldo drew his sword,
And at the word, -
A,breathless, deathlcss, yellow horde,
Leaped to tile charge with curdling cries,
With tossing plulnes and flashing eyes,
Like the bold brave who does and dies.
Tho welkin rang
Io the hoof beats. tho deep, dull clang
Of swords, and sang
The braZen bugles. Down the road
The fearless warriors madly strobe
Into the depths of the deep wood.
And on and on
The army pressed till it had gone
Full sixteen miles, with weapons drawn,
The twilight deepens, dull and gray,
Bold Aggie rests from the fierce fray.
And says: "Thcy can't catch us today"

Alcohol fn sticka.

A new invention of great importance has just been patented by a German chemist, Julius Norden of AIdenhoven, Germany. He has succeeded in hard- ening alcohol until it becomes a solid mass. This will insure a very much greater popularity for the employment of alcohol. It now comes in small cylindrical pieces, packed in patent tin boxes, that can be used for cooking. lighting, heating and the various uses of everyday life.
 The soIidified alcohol burns without a wick, can be blown out after use, and then hardens again within minute. The danger of explosion is absolutely done away with, and the neat little tin package, with it's stick of alcohol, is always ready for use in the kitchen or bed room, on the toilet table or un- der the milk pot, on the road or in the field, as a night lamp or going upstairs at night.

The Lost Cabin.

The western papers are again an- nounclng that the famous Lost Cabin' gold mine has been rediscovered. That has happened before and the mystery remains a mystery still. Deep in the barren Bad Lands of Wyoming, near the headwaters of the Big Horn, abous sixty miles from Fort Washable. the mine was originally located, and it has probably not traYeled far from there in the last few years. Five men found 1t first in 1874. They left the fort full of hope to prospect for gold. Three weeks later one returned ragged, starved and crazy. He could only re- peat six words, but these he said over and over again, until he died, raYing mad, month later Those words were Lots of dust in Lost Cabin" He had several large nuggets to bear out his words. Expeditions set out at once, but no trace could be found of either men or mine Ten years after ward a cowboy, lost in the desert. found routed cabin and four skele- tons lying in the doorway. A primi- tive tunnel in the hillside close by yielded nothing but plumbago. Yet the first man had returned with good gold. Half the best prospeetors in the west have tried to solve the riddle, but the desert guards it's secret well.

Japanese Are Ruthless.

The Japanese are ruthless in their tampering with nature. If they decide that they want a bird or an animal of a certain shape or color they set about manufacturing the article, so to speak, by the exercise of exceedingly clever ingenuity and untiring patience. Here, for example, is how the white sparrows are produced. They select pair of grayish birds and keep them in white cage in a white room, where they are attended by a person dressed in white. The mental effect on a series of gener- ations of birds results in completely white birds.

NER ENGLAND
AND THE SOUTH.

AND THE SOUTH.
 We are glad to see the Lewiston Evening Journal speaking in tones so cheerful and encouraging to New England textile industries, and we join heartily in It's desire to see the day "when advanced machinery shall be engaged in turning out fine products, moved by the waste water power now running over the rapids and falls of the Androscoggln in Lewiston and Auburn. " But some of it's statements we cannot indorse, not because we do not wish the highest prosperity to old New Eng land, but because we should be hold ing out what we very much fear would prove to be false hopes of security to New England textile industries against the competition of the Sou. After reviewing the facts which led certain New Eng land mills to drop making the eoarser goods in which Southern competition had become too strong and to take up the manufacture of the finer grades, the Journal says:
 ''The result is such mills as the Continental, in Lewiston, which once sent out coarse or plain cottons almost exclusively, are rushed on orders for art goods cottons made for style, created in the brain chief ly and executed after headwork by fine machinery This is the secret of industri supremacy-to use art more and muscle less, to consult lines of beauty as the line of duty in textiles, It is significant that to. day mills in Lewiston are working on orders secured rather than orders to be secured. Let the South pros per also-it is the part of the coun- try which naturally shall make raw material into crude manufactures. The prosperity of one is essential to the we'll being of all. The finer stuffs belong to the temperate zones. New England is rock-ribbed in in. dustry. The Attest need borrow no trouble even if in periods of transi- tion there be brief hardship
 We feign would join the Journal in it's haloyon dream of eternal security from destructive tropic or semi-tropic competition for the tex tile industries of classic New Epg- land, but somehow, before we fairly doze off, we are haunted by those reports of 30 odd per cent. dividends recently made by some of these Southern mills out of the proceeds of the manufacture of the coarse goods which the Jouanal says they are responsible for, and we cannot help wondering how long the Southern mills will resist the temptation to increase their profits. as the New England mills are now doing, by turning also to the manufacture of fine goods, and if they do, and the competition becomes strong, as it surely will, how long the New Eng land average margin of per cent. profit can buck against the 30 odd per cent. of the Southern mills.
 AS to the South being the part of the country which naturally shall make raw material into crude manu- features, that is the sort of whist ling in which Europe used toindulge with regard to Amerlca to keep up its courage when we first began to take our first feeble steps in mauu- featuring.

CIVIC ACTION.

Two very interesting pamphlets
which merit a wide circulation have
just been issued by the National Mu-
nicipal league. The first is entitled
"Civic religion" by Rev. Washington
GLADDEN., D. D. 1t is in that publicist's
best style. His theme is THE city
that might be, the city that ought to
be, that is the object of all faith and
devotion" He utters the greatly need
ed protest against the tendency of
some to base their civic actions upon
business principles. He says with force
and pertinence: Il think it is time we
began to see that good government
calls for some higher principles on the
part of the citizen than what we de-
scribe as business principles"
The second pamphlet is by Hon.
Samuel R. Capen, president of the Mu-
nicipal league of Boston. It is enti-
tied 1.-THE closing work of the nine
teenth century," which is the needed
effort to purify the government of our
cities. Mr.. Capen discusses the six
perils which confront municipalities:
First, Indifference; second, the boss;
third, selfish wealth; fourth, fancied
helplessness; fifth, the worship of the
false god, smart; sixth, municipal
ignorance. He then proceeds to argue
the proposition that everywhere, in the
home and in the school, from the pull
pit and the platform, we must teach
Citizenship in the republic is a sa-
cred trust"

THE THIRD WISE MAN.
Rev. Dr.. Brady Continues His Series
of Sermons.

Rev. Dr.. Brady Continues His Series
of Sermons.
Rev DR.. James Boyd Brady's sermon
in Grace church last evening was:
Third wise man of Worcester" from
the text Buy the truth and sell it not. 3"
Proverbs, xxiii:2S. Dr. Brady said:
THE first wise man of Worcester
knows, obeys and loves his heavenly
Father. The second wise man of Wor-
cester is sagacious and serene in his
sobriety, an antagonist of intemperance
in all things, and especially of drunk
enness. The third wise man of Wor-
cester obeys the command in the deca-
logue, Thou shalt not bear false wit
ness and so he buys the truth accord
ing to the text, and sells it not
He buys no matter what he has to
pay for it. So precious is truth that he
will have it at any price He purchases
personal, family, business, government
al, and above all, spiritual truth. To him
this is the most precious treasure, for
whose sake he parts with all things.
The question arises, Does he make a
good bargain? I answer that he makes
the best of bargains because by secur-
ing truth. he secures all else that is
valuable in this universe.
THE truth becomes to him a key by
which he gains access to the very treas
ures of God. And so, after his expert
ence of the supreme value Of truth, he
obeys the second part of the text and
sells it not He will not sell it for
money, friends or foes. These he sees
are poor substitutes, and if gained by
falsehood, are purchased at too great a
cost.
There is another character to this
man. He will not buy the truth, no mat
ter how cheaply he can do so, and If by
change, he should have a little, he is
willing to sell for the smallest sort Of
price, but in doing so, he makes the
most of bargains. Error always leads
into difficulties dangers and disasters,
but truth leads to liberty love and real
prosperity. Indeed, so valuable is truth,
that Tennyson in his entrance hall had
inscribed: Truth against the world
All kinds of falsehood are most degrad-
ing, all kinds of truth are most ennobl-
ing and therefore buy the truth and sell
IT not ="

SKILLED LABOR"

Rev. o. c. Bailey breaches on the Re-
Iation of Workmen to God.
Yesterday morning Rev. Orange C.
Bailey, pastor of Summer Street Con-
Sregational church, spoke on the sub
ject of Skilled labor. The text was
from Exodus xxxv:31 God gave to
certain men his spirit in wisdom and
in workmanship" The general thought
of the discourse was that God gave
special wisdom in workmanship. The
pastor cited several passages bearing
on this point. Man needs special guild
ance from God. Some submit to this
guidance, and others do not. But man
has to make his choice.
COO does not communicate with a
rev but with all who will listen to hJs
voice. There is a spirit Of determine
tlon TO be the best kind of a workman
and that spirit comes from God II is
well to be skilled in various kinds of
work, but there is something above
beyond all this. Man can communi.
cate with God in different WAYS Yet
IN some way man must come into a
close relation with God and in his
work to be the true, skilled workman
All labor may be consecrated to God
and his purposes ''u
Rev. Mr.. Bailey is preaching a series
OF sermons on Work" and the linz
OF thought is carried through All the

glory of God, something more than a

TRY PRIZE FIGHTING.

Jerome K. Jerome in Golfers Week
ly writes of a conversation with youth
who finds Australia, Africa and soldier
ing too tame and gold mining too I'M
profitable and unsuited to his adventu-
rous spirit. He finally announced his
intention to adopt burglary as a voca-
ton. 1t might not be untimely to sug-
gest to this blase youth, after reading
the reports from New York as to the
profits of Jeffries and Sharkey from
their late pugilistic encounter, that be-
fore committing himself to burglary, he
might do we'll to consider the advisa-
bility of taking UP prize fighting as an
occupation. His objections to soldier
ing were that he did not like to be one
of row, and that anyway, there was
no real fighting nowadays. These OBJ
jections, it is evident, will not apply
to prize fighting, and if he should make
up his mind to go into the ring, he is
likely to get all he desires. Bruised
face, split nose and ears, broken ribs,
dislocated shoulders, black eyes and
broken hands are few of the incidents
of that vocation that may be COM
mended to this young gentleman who
finds fighting in the army too tame and
uninteresting. In the matter of profit,
it is far ahead of burglary Mr.. JEFF
fries share of the receipts was 49,, 423,
while Mr.. Sharkey, as compensation
for the anvil and hammer part he had
in the contest, received S11,141. This
amount is only earnest money, as it
were. For, at Roster & Balls this
week, Jeffries receives $25OO and Shar-
key $1,000. There are few stars in the
dramatic world who make more, but
even this is merely the first fruits of
the harvest. The fighters hold one
fourth interest in the biograph pictures,
and when paid for by the appreciative
and discriminating public, it is esti-
mated that they will net over $125, 900
for each fighter. Obviously, there can
be no comparison between burglary and
prize fighting as money getters.

health. Beyond this, his family has
imperious claims upon him.
OF all the bonds of connection by
which mankind are brought together,
none are stronger than Those of relig-
ion. To acknowledge the same faith.
the same rules of duty, the same hopes,
the same savior the same Father in
heaven, must. inspire mutual kindness.
This precious bond of union has been
felt in all its strength by many who
knew nothing of the religion of love
which Jesus taught. 1t is indeed no
small matter of reproach to Christians
that while the ancient heathens had
their sacred hearths and household
gods, they performed constant service
to the dumb idol they worshipped.
You may dwell in the homes of many
good men, calling themselves Chris
tians, and yet from week to week, dis
cover no recognition Of God and no
indications from which you could in
fer with certainty that they acknowl-
edged any god. To true domestic fe-
licity, the influence of religion is indis-
pensable. See to the religious outlook
of your home, and thus enjoy in its
fullness the richest ideals of home life.

HOLD WARD FIVE.

If the republican party in this city
wishes to keep ward five within the
republican fold it has the chance this
coming election by placing in nomina-
ton for the common council William ].
Bragg, a man who has served the par
ty for years faithfully and we'll, yet
who has, up to the present time, never
sought political emoluments. He is a
man of the same type as Representa-
tive Hagberg, a man who would be an
honor to the party in the citys coun-
ellis.
1t is by the election of such men as
this that that ward will be made per-
manently republican. The ward can
not afford to be represented by any
other class of men. If the republican
city committee works with an equal
zest in the interests Of Mr.. Bragg that
it did for Representative Hagberg,
there can be no doubt of the result.
The. party leaders and the voters
should do for the party in general
what is manifestly their duty.
