Perkins Experience With Filipinos.
 Ser ator Perkins, of California once had an experience with Fili- pinos that might have ended dis astrously. Years ago the Sena- tor was sailor. The ship lay becalmed off one of the Phill- pines, when three junks manned by crews of bloodtblrsty Malay pirates. pulled off from the shore some five or six miles away |. Now sailors know of no more unwelcome visitor than q Malay pirate. He disregar Is all the polite rules of society and, is most uncongenial comrade. Perkins and his. mates were anx- ioCsly awaiting tho expected at tack of these pirates, whose con- ing always meant blosdshed and robbery, when fortunately, a breeze sprang up ard the ship got beyond the reach of the junks.

Jesse James Not Guilty.

Kansas City, Feb. 2S.- Young Jesse James, son of the notorious bandit whose name he bears, was tonight adjudged not guilty of compliclty in the robbery of the Missouri Pacific express train at Leeds, in the outskirt. of Kansas City.
 The robbery which the police accused young James of leading was committed onlSeptember 23, last, and the last of numerous train robberles Tn the outskirts of Kansas City. The jury was out less than an hour and the verdict of acquittal was reached on the first ballot.
 The court room was packed with friends of young James, among them being hls uncle Frank James, of St. Louis, and the announcement of the verdict was the signal for applause and cheering that neither the judge nor the bailiffs could suppress.
 In returning the verdict of ac- quittal the jurors were compelled to discredlt entirely the confes- sion of witness w. w. Lowe, who admitted being q member of the band and who described the robbery in every detail, implicat- ing as his aceomplice ye ung James and Ryan "Evans" allas Bill Ryan and several others. After returning the verdict the members of the jury stated that they could not accept Lowe : confession or the theory of the police, adding that the police To- cated James in too many places in short space of time, and that they could not believe | youth Of his years could take such q part Tn train robbery.
 The police are unable to show that James was away from his home in Kansas City 6 full hour on the night of the robbery and witnesses for the defense made this time much brlefer, Mrs. Samuels, the defendant ; aged granmother, even testifying that Jesse was sitting on the porch with her when the robbers eX~ ploded the dynamite that wrecked the safes and that they heard the explosion.

When his following grew turbulent

When his following grew turbulent
they stole him into exile and kept him
hidden away for three long years.
Times changed. Political lines
shifted in the islands. Malietoa, the
weak, died. Note the drama. Aman
of the United States, William Lea
Chambers. of Alabama, had come to be
chief justice of the island, under the
provision of the Berlin treaty. Not
long agoa German had held that Office.
Now that question OF vital political
import was to arise to be passed upon,
a hated American was seated in the
chair. A half dozen claimants for the
throne sprang up. Moli, the brother
of the dead Malietos Lanpepa was one;
Malietoa Tanus, a son of the dead
sovereign, o STRIPPING little known to
the chiefs and the people, was another.
The American chief justice, con-
STRUNG the Berlin treaty, read Mataafa
outside of the ranks of those who may
be King of Samoa. The old exile had
carried by vast majority the odd sort
of an election by which king is elec-
ted. The Germans, who had put that
clause in the document, found it last
to bar their own path even more than
that of the aged, Indifferent Mataafa,
whom they had brought back from
exile to make king.
The Germans want the ruling hand
in Samoa. They cannot claim this on
the strength OF their superiority in

The Dangers Of Alcohol.

At the last meeting Of the Paris Hospitals

the ever-increasing amount of drunken-
ness, asked II 1t would not be possible to-

what he considered an even better method.
that is, getting up for the instruction OF
patients lantern shows with exhibitions of
anatomic preparations to show the dangers
OF alcohol. NJ. Legendre has had printed
for the use of all his patients little leafet,
the text Of which runs as follows:
"Most of the diseases treated in the hos-
pitfalls arise from alcoholic drinks-that is'
TO say, they are either caused or aggravated
by the abuse of alcohol. All alcoholic

absinthe and the so-called aperients, called
ainers. ". e
Alcoholic drinks are more dangerous
when taken on an empty stomach or be-
tween meals. A man necessarily becomes
an alcoholic-i. e., slowly poisoned BY alco-

one-sixth of the area of the group
owned by foreigners, at least S., 900
acres, including the best land in the
islands, is owned by the Germans.
This landed estate was secured by the
original German trading firm, and it's
successors have never parted with an
acre of it.
The great drawback of Samoa is that
it is so far from markets. It's hest
products are tropical fruits, which are
abundantly produced, but distance
from markets prevents expectation.
In 1883 the Ceylon coffee disease
first appeared on the plantations of
Samoa and in short time put an end
to coffee production in that group. No
attempt has since been made to raise
coffee.
Practically the whole business of
Samoa is based to-day upon the cucoa-
nut, and the export of copra, the dried
meat of the cocoanut, represents nearly
all the exports of the islands. In
1897 nearly 100000 pounds OF
copra, the native product, were e1.
ported in addition to the large quan-
tity raised OF the German plantations.

the causes that have consrired to keep
her commerce small, Samoa has not

Twelfth Night.
When Mowbray came first to Gala
Water the primroses were starring the
meadows and hedgerows, when he
came again the roses were beginning
to bloom. The interval was not a
happy one to Katherine, for if love
makes man cunning it makes b wom-
an self-willed. Without actual
knowledge of Mowbray's character she
had assured herself that he was the
mate of her soul and that it would be
kind of sin to hesitate in her alle-
glance. She had seen Mowbray but a
few hours. Wintoun had been her
familiar for years, but no doubt had
troubled her decision against Win
toun. Almost without consideration
or without conscious intent she had
made her old lover understand that
she had decided against him; and
Wintoun, not usually quick to appre-
hend, had been positive of this de-
cision, though the words which had
enlightened him. admitted of another
construction
His uncle's temper had suddenly
forced him to take position which he
| had not considered, and which on re-
fection he regretted. He had in fact
spoken more proudly and chivalrously
than he felt. The next morning he
could not endure the thought of re-
signing Katherine. To give her up
implied the unsettling of all his life,
and he was young man whose happi-
ness depended upon its being fixed
and nethodical. Unusual events and
emotions disturbed his equilibrium,
threw him out of his orbit, and he felt
like some forlorn castaway. Katherine
was lovely and lovesome, and he had
got the habit of loving her. In tear
ing herself from him she inflicted a
wound, and suffering of any Lind was
a new sensation to Wintoun. He Se-
sented it and his uncle had been the
first recipient of his resentment.
But his heart-sufering was not all.
Katherine's desertion would wound
his personal and family pride in the
keenest manner. He could imagine
how young Heriot and Jack Netherby
and Harry Forster would condole with
him. He was aware that he had
"peacocked" about Katherine's love
for him and his alliance with the

JOKE ON A BRIDAL COUPLE:
How the Young Wife's Trunk Looked
When It Keached tho Station,

How the Young wife's Trunk Looked
When It Reached the Station
Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Mahaney, who
married recently at Meadville, Penn,
were desirous of reaching their new
home in Jersey City without observa-
ton. They might have done 30 had
it not been for a trunk. Some per-
sons, at present unknown to Mr.. and
Mrs. Mahaney, decorated that trank
as no trunk ever leaving Meadville
before was decorated.
First two large pasteboard hearts,
red in color, were tackled on tho top.
In black letters across one heart ap-
peared, 1--WE are as happy rs two tur-
tie doves" and on the other was
printed "Two hearts that beatas one"
Red, white and blue ribbons were also
attached.
Mr.. Mahaney, who is employed in
the general postofice in New York,
had been told by a friend in Mead.
vile that he need not give himself no
concern about the trunk. The friend
would see that it did not miss the
train.
The bride and groom reached the
Erie Railroad depot in Meadville as
the train they were to take to Jersey
City came into the depot.
Gall aboard!" shouted the con-
ductor.
"Walter! my trunk! What about
it?" said Mrs. Mahaney, who, as Miss
Annette Baldwin, was one of the bellies
of Meadville.
"There it is," answered Mr..
Mahaney, as he caught sight of por-
ter lifting the trunk into a baggage
car.
sob, I'm so glad! I thought it
