Indian Game of Golf,

From the Chicago Inter-0cean.
Arrangements have just been completed
with a band of forty Creek Indians TO go
to Paris in 1900 and give the visitors there
an exhibition of the toll game, which is the
most exciting and rude game among the
Indian tribes. The Indians are now en-
gagged in practice on their reservation near
Eufauia, and reports from there say that
a number have been fatally wounded while
going through the game
Only about twenty Indians are required to
play the game, but the redskins are going
to take along enough extra players to
complete the series of fifty games for
which they have been engaged The game
is similar to golf excepting that it is mu IN
ruder. The Indians are divided on sides
leader throws wooden ball into the air
and the players start after il with their
sticks, on the end of which there is a little
basket They are supposed to catch this
ball with their sticks before it reac hes the
ground and carry it about three hundred
yards to the goal; then. with one mighty
throw, land it over a high pole, and the
game is won. This trick is not so easily
accomplished when the facts are brought
to mind that twenty other Indians with
heavy clubs, are pursuing him and at
tempting to beat him to earth. which is
oftener dche than he escapes. The swiftest
runners are chosen for this game so that
when they once get the ball it can he car
ried To the goal and the game won.

Says Americans Preciptated Manila
Figbt--His TeIegrams Ignored.


A dispatch from Montreal yesterday says:
Juan Luna and an unknown Filipino ar
rived this morning. Luna is stopping at
the Windstor Hotel, but the unknown went
to the Albion Luna said that he had sim
ply come to visit his friend Agoncillo, and
refused TO talk further
Agoncillo was seen and asked about his
cableSram to the junta in London. He ad-
mitted that he had sent such a telegram.
and intimated that they were in position
to prove that Gen. Otis had been ordered
to bring on conflict, so as to force the
peace treaty through the Senate. He said
he was being kept pretty Well posted on
whatever was being done against his coun-
try.
Agoncllo said further that since war had
been declared it would never be stopped till
the Americans made overtures for peace.
They would be willing, however to have
mutual conference. The principal reason
why they opposed American rule was Iaat
from what they had seen up to now of the
American soldiers the Filpinos would SIM
ply be slaves. He says he has sent six tele-
grams to Washington and has not yet re-
ceiVed q single reply.

Cost of "a Drought.
From the Westminster Gazette.

From the Westminster Gazette.
What the drought of the last few Years
has cost New South Wales has been es-
timated, and the estimate makes up a bit
of very doleful arithmetic. The facks of
the colony have shrunk from 5000. 900 to
46,0o0,o00 representing a loss of a0.oeo. 900
sheep. If to this is added the loss of
natural increase the shrinkage amounts to
50.0oo,0o0 sheep; enough. that is. to equip
a considerable-sized colony. In addition
there has been loss OF nearly 100000
horses and 100000 cattle.
That the colony has been able to survive
these terrific losses is striking proof of
energy and resource. Transate into
money. the colony has suffered a loss of
from 1a,o09, 600 to 2o,oo0,o 600 pounds sterling
For much, when expressed in pounds
shillings and pence. do a few inches more
less OF rainfall count, We are probably
entering on cycle of years. a contenipo-
rary thinks, when the kindly skies will
pour on the far-stretching plains their
benedictfon of rain, and these vast losses
will quickly be made up.

WOUNDED NINETEEN TIMES.
Frank Kennedy Ran Into a Spanish h

From the Kansas City Times.
Frank Kennedy, now in Kansas City, was
wounded nineteen times in the battle of
Santiago de Cuba. He walks with crutches,

a little tender, but he hopes soon to be able

CAUSE OF THE OUTBREAK.
Filipino Junta in London Says Ameri-
cans Wanted the Water Works.

The president of the European Filipino
junta in an interview with a representa-
tive of the Associated Press yesterday said:
1T is perfectly clear that the unfortu-
nate hostiities at Manila were occasioned
by an attempt OF the Nebraskans to find
preteXt to obtain control of the Singalon
water works. The Americans for months
have cndeayored fruItlessly 10 induce the
Filipinos 10 withdraw from those works,
as the latter fully recognized their i'm
mense strategic Importance. By the de-
struction of the villages between the sea
and the river bank the Americans secured
vast open space from which Manila might
otherwise have been attacked under cover.
'As the Americans have captured the
water works, the Filpinos will now have TO
retire TO the mountains of San Maleo and
Boso-Boso, which, they are only an
hours distance, command the capital, and
ii will be impossible to dislodge them from
there.
THE whole Filipino strength will now be
devoted to the protection of the country
outside of Manila, as Aguinaldo is aware
that, even if he captured the city, he could
not hold it with American warships in the
bay.
for their food supplies on shipments from
abroad, as the insurgents will effectually
cut off the supplies from the interior"
The Filipino agent concluded with assert
ing that Agoncillo. Aguinaldo's agent in
America. and the European junta, had un-
ceasingly advised Agunaldo not to COM
meEce hostilities, but. he added, the Fill
pinos regarded the landing of American re-
Inducements as a threat. and this. added
to the proclamation of General Otis re-
fUsing political rights to the natives and
inaugurating military regime, had strain
ed native opinion to the breaking point.

CRITICISM OF QUAY.
Pennsylvania Senator Severely Ar
raigned mt a Mass Meeting.

mass meeting of citizens in opposition
to the reelection of Senator Quay was held
at the Academy of Music in Philadelphia
last night. Maj. Z. A. Hancock presided,
and large delegation of anti-Quay MEM
bers of the legislature, headed by Senator
tiinn of Pittsburg, were present from
harrisburg. Ex-Postmaster General John
Wanamaker occupied box, but did not
speak. The speakers were Senator Finn
and Representative Dalzell of Pittsburg,
Senators Henry of Philadelphia and Well
Ter of Cambria. and Representative koontz
of Somerset. In the course of his address

ends. He has turned the republican or
ganization in Pennsylvania into a machine
which has no excuse for its existence save
that 1t serves his political fortune"

of Blaine in 1884; that he was hostile TO

IN CASE OF FIRE.
How to Prepare Hand Grenades a
Home for Quick Use.

From the Philadelphia Press.
The proverbial ounce of prevention IS
worth several pounds of cure in case of
fire.
When a fire occurs, by splashing and
spraying burning articles with a solution of
salt and nitrate of ammonia an incombus-
uble coating is at once formed.
This is a preparation which should be
kept on hand, and is easily homemade
at trfiing cost. Dissolve twenty pounds OF
common salt and ten pounds of nitrate OF
ammonia in seven gallons of water. Pour
this into quart bottles of thin glass and
you have fire greEadeS at hand in case of
need.
The bottles should be tightly corked and
sealed to prevent evaporation. and when
there is a fire they must be thrown in or
near the flames, SO as to break and thus
liberate the gas contained, to effect the de-
sired result. At least. two dozen of these
bottles should be ready in case of need.
1t is well to remember that water poured
on burning oil is only fuel to the flame;
scatter flour over the oil and the blaze will
be speedily extnguished.
Salt thrown upon q fire-for instance, If
the chimney is burning-will help to deaden
the blaze. If chimney f1ues were lined with
vitrifed drain pipes, which are quite mex
pensive, the chimneys would be absolutely
fire-proof. An outward covering of some
fre-proof, ust-proof, non-conducting jacket
on the hot-air pipes would not only be
a very good precautionary measure, but
would save heat now radated from the tin
A silk handkerchief dipped in water Is the
best thing to wrap about the mouth and
nostrils to prevent suffocation from smoke
falling this a piece of wet flannel or cloth
will answer the purpose.
Should the smoke fill the room before you
can get to the window, wrap blanket or
woolen garment about you, with the wet
cloth over the face, drop on the hands and
knees and crawl to the window. Smoke
goes first to the top of the room and to the
floor last so that some time is thus Sc

1t is well to remember that there is no
more danger in getting out of high win

there is nerve and cool determination to

to slide down, but go hand over hand, keep

Stole n Sentinel.
From the New York Press.


Capt. Henry Verrlanck used to sail the
good sloop Van Rensselaer, from Albany 20
New York and back as often as wind and
tide would allow. On one occasions a num-
Der of captains were boas,ing of their ex-
ploits. when Capt. Verplanck made a wager
that he would steal the sentinel at West
Point. When of West Point he ordered his
gig TO be lowered and a barrel of -four
placed in her. He sculled for the shore,
and was promptly challenged by the senti-
mel. The captain told him that he had a
barrel OF flour for one of the officers of the
garrison, and wanted to land it. The SOL
dier consented, and the captain proceeded
to make fruitless attempts to get it out Of
the boat, and at last succeeded in inducing
the sentinel TO help him. The soldier laid
down his musket and jumped into the boat.
The captain. who was powerful man. at
cree showed OFF his boat and rowed for the
slcop. He had succeeded in capturing his
sentinel, and the fellow was taken aboard
the sloop. Fearing to return to West Point,
he became one of the crew.
