rate. The absolute REIMBURSEMENT Of
the islands at this time means endless
trouble for the foolhardy ex-slaves Of
Spain, over whom she is ready and anx-
ious, right now, to renew her control
with the aid and approval Of Ger
many.
The Unite-i states can get along with
out the Philippines very nicely. The
Philippines are not able. at this time,
to get along without the Unite1 States.
There is no reason why these islands
should be annexed when. apparently,
revolution is thrown in with each in
habited island.

Smith were specially detailed to accom-

suited in two or three arrests the first
day, and then q Weakened member
Of the begging club disclosed the secrets
of its meeting place, membership and
working plans. His story has since
been amply verified by the two patrol
men.
Since the inception of the ''Mooche~s'
club about four weeks ago, its mem
bars have met between 8 and 10 O'clociS
every morning on opposite corners at
the intersection of Third and Mission
asreets. On each preceding night the
officers made out a schedule of the
good" streets in the city, ailcting a
route or district TO every ''AIOOcher." As
fast as the ''AIOOchers' reached the
meeting place they were assigned to
their beats for the day by Dispatch
erS Shy O'Brien and ''ScOtty'' HO-
san, who We're furnished with copies Of
the begging schedule. Daily changes
were made in the schedule for the pur-
pose of evaGtng the police
At night the gang made its general
headquarters in saloOn at 81 Mission
street Policeman MoCiarity says that
the proprietor OF the saloon admitted
that the average 'MOocher'' spent from
50 to So a night in his place for drinks.
From what they have learned. the two
policemen believe that great deal of
petty thieving which took place during
the holiday time may be attributed to
members CT the 'Moochers' club"
In organizing the club. its chief spir-
its invited only active and more OF less
aible-bodied beggars to become mem
bers. a set Of rules was then drawn up,
the chief one Of which requires every
member to refrain from trespassing on
another 'Mcccher's 5" designated beg
ging ground. Violation of this rule was
punishable with expulsion from the
club. Dues were also fixed, to be used
in paying the officers and dispatchers,
and for the protection of ''Moechers'
who might fall into the hands of the
police. To carry out the latter pur-
pose. the club, as soon as it's treasury
warranted the step, engaged legal coun-
sci TO defend the arrested 'MoOchers''
in the police court. Arthur Mack is
said by Policeman MOriarity to be the
regularly retained attorney of the
'MoOchers' club" He has already ap-
peared in court for some of the Moo
chers' whom Moriarity and Smith cap
tured.
In their fight against the ''BIoochers''
the police are taking the precaution to
swear out complaints in each case
where an arrest is made. Judge Con-
Ian issued the complaints yesterday
against Dunlop and Mcdowell. A num-
Der Of other complaints have been is
sued against "MOochers" who are still
at large.

Sounds That Are Felt.

The deepest note that can possibly
be heard by the human ear is produced
by an organ pipe thirty-twO feet long.
When the air ripples are in quite regu-
lar proportion of eight, sixteen and
thirty-two per second, the results are
perfect musical notes.
The thirty twO-fOOt pipe produces
sixteen vibrations per second When
the Dead March in Saul is played
on a huge cathedral organ this note
from the thirty-two-fOot pipe is dis
tinctly heard, shaking the building, it
would seem, to its very foundations
Were the pipe one inch longer the
sound could not be heard.
The thunder Of Niagara, which is
nothing but an organ pipe 167 feet high,
produces a note such as would issue
from 4 wooden pipe of $50 feet. This,
of course. cannot be heard. But you
can feel the beat of the note upon our
ear drum. 1t is at the rate of eight
vibrations per second. Even this was
surpassed by the sound made when
the volcano of KratOkOa blew up Del
icate meteorological instruments in the
great Observatories all over the world
registered d sound in which the vibra-
tons were only four per second. So far
as is known, no mortal ear. at any dis
lance, could hear this sound.

BEGGARS' TRUST IN FULL BLAST.
Peculiar Organization Discovered and
Broken Up In California
Co.

(S2n Francisco ChrOnlcle.)
Active cognizance is being taken by
the police of unique organization
which recently came into existence in
San Francisco. 1t is known as the
"Moochers' club" title given it by its
founders. It consists of about forty
professional beggars, who have entered
into a sort of trust to control the bust
ness Of soliciting aims on the public
streets.
Within the last three days no less
than fifteen leading promoters Of the
begging monopoly have been thrown
into jail by order of Chief Lees. Yes
te~day the club received its direct blow
when John Mcdowell, who is credited
with being its president, and John Dun
lop, his right-hand man, were taken
into custody by Policeman John Mori-
arity and w. ]. Smith Two days pre-
viously the dispatches" of the Moo
cheers club, Shy O'Brien and "Scoety''
Hogan, were arrested by the same Off

ago. and as many of the forty are sus-
pected of being thieves as we'll as beg
gars, It was determined to break up
their club. Policemen Moriarity and

writing from Manila some time ago,
gave the Filipinos a different character
from that with which Senator Tfllman
clothes them. This correspondent says
that the Filipino is the true child of

as the web Of the pineapple guage. Of
which the women make their dresses.
He win cheat. steal and lie beyond the

which he disobeys orders are irritating

THE WHITE MANS BURDEN.
Rudyard Kipling Addresses Mes
sage to the American People.
Louis Globe-Democrat.)

(St. Louis Globe-Democrat)
Ruyard Kipling is on his way to the
United States to resume his interrupted
residence here-he is coming home" he
is reported to have said just before he
sailed from England. He has preceded his
arrival with a poem in McClure's Maya
zine for February. which may be regarded
as q special message to the United States
in the nations ne- development. The
White Mans Burden" is the title of this
latest of his productions, and it will, no
doubt. take high rank and be rem embered.
Considered simply as poetry. the verses
do not quite measure up to his best ac-
cOmplishmentS; but in breadth of thought
and in Vigor the poem is superior to
much that he has previously produced.
While the admOnition to take up the
white mans burden among the silent.
sullen peoples all its responsible
ties. its probable reVerSeS and bitter dis
appointments-mig apply to the whole
western race to Europe and America
alike, II has a pecCe-ar timelineSS for the
United States; and ii is admitted that
kipling had this country in mind while
writing:
Take up the White Mans burden
Send forth the best We breed
Go, bind your sons to exile
To serve your captiVes' need;
To wait, in heavy harness,
On tuttered folk and wild
Your new-caught sullen peoples,
Half devil and half child.
Take up the White Mans burden
In patience to abide,
To veil the threat of terror
And check the show of pride;
BY open speech and simple.
An hundred times made plain,
To seek ancJhers profit
And work another 5 gain.
Take up the White Mans burden
The savage wars of peace
Fill full the mouth of Famine
And bid the sickness cease:
And when your goal is nearest
cine end for others sought
Watch sioth and heather folly
Bring ali your hope to nought.
Take up the White Mans burden
NO iron rule of ki Is,
But toll of serf ana sweeper
The tale of common things.
The ports We shall not enter,
me road We shall 10. tread,
Co make them with your living
And mark them with your dead.
Take up the White Mans burden
And reap his old reward
The blame of those ye better.
The hate of those We guard
The cry Of hosts We humor
(Ah slowlyD toward the light
ny ny brought We US from bondage,
Our loved Egyptian night?''
Take up the White Mans burden
@ dare not stOOD to less
Or call too loud for Freedom
To cloak your WEAKNESS.
BY all We Will or whisper,
BY all We leave or do,
The silent sullen peoples
Shall weigh your God and you.
Take up the White Mans bdrden!
Have done with childish days
The lightly-proffered laurel,
The easy ungrudged praise;
Comes now, to search your manhood
Through all the thankless years.
Cold. edged with dear-boughr wisdom,
The judgment of your peers.
