Ponce, Island of Porto Rico, Aug. %.
1t is now estimated that the bodies
of $500 victims of the recent hurri-
cane have been buried, that 1000 per-
sons were injured during the storm
and that 1000 people are still missing.
There are opportunities here now for
investors. There is the greatest lack
of money for repairing damages, re-
planting and replenishing stocks. The
alcades appointed committees for the
distribution of relief stores, ETC., but
the military authorities objected to it.
Ponce is healthy, though bodies con-
tinue to be found in the fields. The
authorities have decided to burn the
ruins of Yabuco.
Somebody Should Wake Up.
Chicago. Aug. 22.-Under the head,
Wake Up the Evening Journal
prints the following editorial matter:
For a city that once relied upon all
Christentom to help it in its distress,
and received such a generous response
from the four quarters of the world as
this city received in II, Chicago seems
to be making a rather half-hearted eff
fort for the suffering and destitute
Porto Ricans. With population of
1000, 900 persons, large proportion of
whom have pretty distinct recollec-
tons of the great fire, Chicago raises
just 1858 in nine days. Boston, the
center of opposition to the Spanish war
and to the annexation of anything
farther away than Newton Center, has
contributed $4,000. while Philadelphia
gives $4,000 and New York $45, 200.
What is the trouble?"

to Chicago that only SS9,754 has thus

Fighting at Manila.

1t is impossible to picture the drear-
mess of those lines. 1t was so dark
that noman could distinguish the COM
rale at his elbow, and officers had to
announce themselves by name that
their men might know who they were.
The ground was troddeu into deep
mire, alternating with pools into which
one sank to the waist; cold gusts of
wind came from the bay, chilling our
wet bodies to the bone; many of the
men were going through the setting
up exercises OF the bar-bell exercises
with their rifles, in order to. get up
circulation; the wounded were being
carried back in ramettas, an abomi-
nable species of native cart, not much
bigger than baby carriage, and
drawn by the most wretched little
beasts that ever wore bridles; every
condition was present which can chill
the ardor of soldiers in a fight; but
our men were calm and even cheerful,
complaining only of the impossibility
of getting at the enemy through the
intervening swamps and bamboo jun
gle. Our loss this night was ten men
killed and about thirty wounded. We
learned later that the Spanish loss
was much heavier. From "The Fall
of Manila" by Captain 7. Bentley
Mott, q. S. A., in Scribner's.

Crnzo for Polar Research.

Never in the history of the world
has there been such intense interest
in polar search as today, No less
than ten expeditions are feeling their
way to the extreme north and the ex-
treme south, and private enterprise
and the public purse have given mil
lions to aid in the work. Andree is
not counted in the e,list because his fate
is so uncertain. Indeed, if that daring
balloonist returns alive it will add an
other marvel to the nineteenth centu-
'ry.
AS for those who are on their way
to the north and south poles, let us
enumerate: Wellman and Peary rep
resent America; Sweden has Nathorst,
Nordenskiold, and Stadling in the arc
tic field, Sverdrup ana Borchgrevink
on behalf of Norway are searching in
the south; Amdruf is bearing Den
marks standard to the northward;
Russia has sent Admiral Makarof to
look for the pole; La Chambre's party
represents France; Prince Luigi heads
an italian expedition; Won Drygalski
is reaping well-earned honors for
Germany in the far south, while Bel
gium has pinned her faith to De Ger
lach's force.
Nor will the work stop here. 1t is
proposed to send three more expedi-
tions next year. The British Geo
graphical Society is raising $3.50, 600
for an expedition; the Quebec Geo
graphical Society will send Capt. Ber-
nier over the route Nansen took, and
Prof. Steehn will take out an expedi-
tion for the Paris Geographical So
ciety.
And all for what? Only the empty
honor of being the first to reach al al
most inaccessible spot. For the hon
ors are empty. The world will notbe
by the smallest fraction benefited by
any discovery at either of its logical
extremes. Good money and good
lives are being thrown away for moth
ing. If the same amount of enterprise
and money were expended in explor-
ing and mapping Africa or South
America that is spent in the race for
the pole the world would be vastly
better off and humanity would receive
some returns for its sacrifices. -Phila-
delphia Inquirer.

evidence Of the disintegration of the
rocks. Not only in the close vicinity
Of the falls Is this disintregation
noticeable, but at various points in
the gorge between the falls and the
whirlpool, on the Canadian side, traces
of recession are seen. In some places
the marks are larger than others. The
Canadian banks below the whirlpool
also indicate that the river has widen
ed at some of the curves to a small ex.
tent. One or two of the small islands
near the falls have grown somewhat
smaller within the last year, and there
are strong indications that they may
disappear altogether before many

has just celebrated her 1OSth birthday
by joining the Daughters OF the Revo-

A Long Visit.

One of the longest visits on record
is one that was made by woman in
the south. Perhaps such thing
could not have happened in less hos
pitable part of the country. The WIS.,
itor was one of those most unfortunate
waits and strays of the country, re-
fined woman with no home of her
own; that was in the days when
women were expected to be cared for
and not go out into the world to look
out for themselves. This woman went
one day to spend the day with friend
and remained for 25 years. She out
lived the father and mother of the
family, took their places to some ex-
tent in the hearts of the children, and
for all those years she lived there
happy and beloved, and giving in re-
turn for her home those services which
cannot be paid for in gold. Chicago

History o, Three Mas Cages,

As q finishing touch to the rebuild
Ing Of the Lambertus Church in Mum
ster, Westphalia, the three "man-
high" iron cages that hung from it's
great tower since 1887 have been
hoisted anew to height Of 325 feet
in accordance with the sentence Of
the ancient Bishops Court:
"And there, on the highest point in
Munsterland, they shall hang for ever
and ever, as q warning to evil-doers
from now on till judgment day."
These cages were both the prisons
and coffins Of the renounced Anabap-
lists, John Van Leyden, self styled
"King of the Universe" his Chancel-
lor, Kretching, and his Governor and
Lord High Executioner, Knipperdol-
ling. The cages just hoisted were re-
made from the originals, when the
latter were taken down q year ago to
allow Of the rebuilding Of the tower.
They were then in dilapidated con.
dition, rust having eaten away part OF
the framework. The new cages, al
though strict copies Of the original,
are somewhat smaller, but they con-
tain the hooks and fetlocks with
which their unfortunate tenants were
bound and tortured while being car
ried around Westphalia to be exhibit
ed to the public and tortured by such
persons as cared to pay the fees ex-
acted for the privilege. 1t cost a
penny to stick a. dagger into. one Of
the doomed mems legs, while for
three pence the King might be burned
with a hot poker.
In the cages, when they were taken
down, were two skulls, a broken and
battered leg bone and odd pieces OF
ribs and fingers. One of the skulls
was identified as that Of the King by
an iron crown fastened to the head by
spikes. The instruments Of torture,
including rusty daggers, big nails and
pincers, were in good state of preser
vation.
