Luzon. In his report. which tells the story
OF the operations from Feb. to Feb. 10.
Major Young. after describing the advance
on Caloocan, says: 'I am satisfied no troops
during this advance have performed more
dangerous service than the detachments un-
der Lieutenant Seaman in their perilous
progress up the Caloocan road. Too much,
therefore, in my judgment, cannot be said In
praise of their intrepidity and efficiency"
Major Young also mentions the good work
of two guns of the Sixth Artillery. under
Lieut.. "A. s. Fleming, who were assigned TO
his division in this action. He says: Dur
ing the advance on Caloocan this platoon
did very accurate and effective work. under
a heavy smal-arms fire from the enemy.
He also speaks Of Grants and Critchlows
guns, which took part IN the movement, as
follows: Extremely accurate work was
done. One of the best shots OF the cam
pagn was at a party throwing up earth
works at the cemetery gate, the left side
of the gate being destroyed at an estimated
range of 2,sO0 yards. by the first shell. Shrap-
mel fire proved 10 be effective at a range OF
1900 yards in driving a party which ad-
vanced from the right to take a thanking
party under command Of Major Bell, United
States volunteer engineers"
compliment is also PAID 10 Wedgewooo
Battery, the men of which dragged their
guns on the night of Feb. for three miles,
without assistance. and drove the enemy
back in great numbers, and paved the way
for the infantry advance. These guns were
served under a heavy cross-fire, the can
noneers having little or no protection.
Webbs two guns are described as silencing
the enemys fire in almost every instance
over an area Of nearly $50 degrees. The two
Nordenfelts under Lieutenant Gibbs are
said to have been handled with skill and ef-
ficiency. In one case the guns were brought
down at double time on a five-hundred-yard
slope. in the face of a heavy fire. This was
in open view CT the enemy, under close
range, and was one of the boldest and most
commendable acts Of the campaign. says
Major Young.

Ants Eat Paper Money.

NEW YORK. May 27.--A special to the
Herald from Washington says: Paper
money cannot be used In the Philippines
for there is variety of ants in the islands
which eat most everything and are partic-
ularly fond Of paper. In a recent ship
ment of money for the troops was 81 0oo. 900
In paper money Of small denominations. and
preparations were being made to send more
paper in the next shipment. when a warn
ing 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 destruction
only by the greatest care. So far as officials
here know. none OF the money was actually
destroyed, the damage done being proba-
bly, no more serious than the eating away
of the edges Of notes, or perhaps making
holes through some of them"

Washington OmciaIs Much Disnp-
pointed at the Outcome.

Washington Omcfals Much Dtsnp-
pointed at the Outcome.
WASHINGTON. May 27.-General Brooke
made no report to-day to the War Depart
ment upon the reported nonsuccess of the
effort to induce Cuban soldiers in Havana to
lay down their arms and accept the gratuity
provided for them.
The officials are greatly disappointed but
feel that they have done all that. in fair
ness, could be expected OF them. and If the
remaining Cuban soldiers are of the same
mind as those in Havana the government
will not long delay a withdrawal Of the
offer. The suspicion is growing here that.
while the leaders Of the opposition to the
policy Of the United States in this matter
do not contemplate the foolhardy attempt
at insurrection. they are trying to retain
the Cuban army in organization and within
their call. so that they may dominate the
affairs OF the island. by force. If need be,
when the United States forces are with
drawn and the independence of the island
is acknowledged. Another explanation Of
fered is that the existence Of a large Cuban
army has been exaggerated.

Bloomsbury State Normal
School.

We have just received the latest
catalogue of the Bloomsbury State
Normal School. This school which
has had such remarkable growth and
success during recent years, evident
ly means to make still greater pro-
gress in the future. The Fall Term
will open September 18th. The
Trustees are doing everything pos
sible to place the school in the front
rank of our best intitutions of learn
ing.
The faculty for the ensuing year
is to be strengthenedb by the addition
of Miss Laura NJ. Ruff, of South
Carolina, who has completed three
courses of study at two different COL
leges. Signornia Rubina Ravi who
has commanded such widespread re-
cognition, will be retained at the
head of the music department.
Young people contemplating go
ing away to school will find it to
their interest to write the Principal,
DIR. j. P. Welsh, Bloomsbury, Pa,
stating their needs and asking for a
catalogue. There may be schools
where the charges are lower, but we
doubt whether there are any in
which more can be had for the
money. 8-1O-3t.

WOMAN'S RIGHTS IN ENGLAND.

A Woman's Parliament has been
recently held in London, and good
deal was expected from it by those
friends of woman'sri rights who recall
the fact that, not long ago, it seemed
probable that women would be soon
made eligible even to the House of
Commons. While thedelegates were
sitting, an incident occurred which
showed that in England a reaction
had set in against the cause which
they were trying to promote. II
will be remembered that among the
measures now before Parliament is q
bill for the better government oi
London which creates a number OF
local district councils within the area
the collective interests of which are
cared for by the London County
Council. Before this bill passed the
House of Commons, an amendmen,
was accepted making women eligible

THE GIRL WITHOUT TALENTS.

markable either in mind, appearance
or manner, asks, where is there a

herself to write an essay for liter
ary club, and has no ability for
