CANNOT USE PAPER MONEY.
Troublesome Ant In the Philippines
Which Eats Everything.

New York, May PA special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Paper money cannot be used in the
Philippines, for there is a variety of
ants in the island which eats almost
everything, and is particularly fond Of
paper. In a recent shipment of money
for the troops was S1,000.000 in paper
money of small denominations, and
preparations were being made to send
more paper in the next shipment, when
warning was given that hereafter
nothing but gold and silver coin must
be sent to the islands.
1t was stated that ants got into the
boxes and attacked the packages of
bills, which were saved from destruc-
ton only by the greatest care. So far
as officials here know, none of the
money was actually destroyed. the
damage done being probably no more
serious than the eating away of the
edges of notes, or perhaps, making
holes through some of them.

KIPi.ING'S DEFINITION
Of Man Who Is Really and Truly
Drunk.

Cincinnati Enquirer)
Just before his recent illness Rudyard
Kipling was made welcome at the Cen
fury club in New York, and there are
several unpublished bits of Kipling go
ing the rounds of other haunts of men
in this city in consequence. One of
them purports to give the adult Bee
tles' definition of intoxication. A group
of men were discussing the exact loca-
ton of the boundary between sobriety
and inebriation, when one of them, who
is famous for his verse and views on
civic patriotism, asked the Anglo-In-
dian when he should say a man was
drunk. According to the story, Kip
ling replied, in the driest style: Il
should say that a man is drunk when
he sits on the curb outside his club and
cries because he isn't at home"

Proceedings Instituted Against

st. Louis, May 21.-Under the anti
trust law, Attorney General Grove
entered suit in the circuit court to
annul the charters of every retail drug

to the four retail firms not members of
the association, the penalty being that
the wholesalers would lose the trade of

In obedience to this order, the govern

mentioned. Later. accompanied by
the officers of this post, Colonel Lee
went through the Notifications recently
completed, both on the Oregon and

Fort Columbia, and the former cOnsti-

With his visit to these Notifications,
Colonel Lee completed the inspection
of all of the principal coast defenses
of the United States. except those at
the Preside, where he went direct from
here. and which he has doubtless in
spected before this time. He paid a
very high compliment to the work

of the formidable disappearing guns

The only man of allen race who has
succeeded during recent years IN max
Ing q stand against England is Presi-
dent Kruger of the Transvaal. This
fact alone gives him a unique position
in the world. He Is not so great a man
as his remarkable success in thwarting
the ambitions of Cecil Rhodes and the
aggressivencss of Mr.. Chamberlain
would seem to indicate. He is Il stolid,
cautious representative of the Dutch
settlers in South Africa, who have
been driven inland from the Cape By
the superior energy and enterprise Of
men of English blood. His principal
trait Is siuggishness. He stands still
and waits. President Kruger has the
credit of being a man of great force of
character. In reality it is the force
of inertia. He is a plain, home-loving
Boer. living in the simplest way on the
outskirts of Pretoria, smoking a long
pipe the greater part of the day, drink
ing a great deal of strong coffee, taking
little exercise and sleeping well. He has
made several quaint jokes, which have
armed him with the reputation of be-
ing shrewd and almost brilliant: but
he speaks slowly, is dull in conversa-
ton. and is neither quick in mind nor
alert in action. He has hindered by
inaction the designs of Mr.. Rhodes,
one of the most energetic and capable
of English imperialists, and also the
counsels Of Mr.. Chamberlain, one of
the shrewdest and most practical colo
NAL secretaries. He promises to do
things and never does them. He ex-
hausted the patience of Cecil Rhodes,
and in this way drew DR.. jameson into
the foolish and wicked raid into the
Transvaal. He has thwarted Mr..
Chamberlain mainly by standing back,
waiting month afer month to make up
his mind. and promising to do some
thing after a while. President Kruger
has been more than match for these
two great Englishmen, but only be-
cause he represented the quiesccncc of
backward country which was pitted
against a generous and magnanmous
nation. The British Empire has been
arrayed against the little Boer repub-
lie, but in consequence Of Mr.. Glad
stones moral policies, England's hands
have been tied.
