MANILA, July 10.-The trial at Cab
uatlan of the slayers of General Luna,
the Filipino leader who was assassin
sted by the guard of Aguinaldo's resi-

The testimony showed there was con-

officers to kill Aguinaldo, and make
Luna dictator.
Luna's death seems to have strength

Asbestos is generally supposed to be a modern thing, yet in 1871 an as- bestos handkerchief was shown to the Royal Society as a great curiosity by Dr. Plot, who had bought it from a traveller on his return from China. They called 1t salamander's wool. Dr. Plot saturated the handkerchief with oil and threw it into a fierce charcoal fire. The oil burned off and the hand kerchief remained intact.

IN CATHOLIC CIRCLES.

Announcement was made in all Cath-
olic churches yesterday that the annual
collection for the pope would be taken
up throughout the world next Sunday
This collection is one in which every
Catholic makes special effort to con-
tribute largely--in fact more generously
than at any other collection during the
year. This is the one time during the
year they have an opportunity of giving
to the pope's household and of assisting
to pay his living expenses, which, IN
view of the large retlnue he IS obliged
to maintain in the work of the vatican,
is large. The collection is but of recent
origin being instituted at the time OF
the loss of the papal state to the Italian
king. This loss deprived the pope of his
means of support and to make up Tor
this in a measure and to keep the papal
court in a becoming condition. the
"Peter'spence." as the collection is
called was introduced and is heartily
availed of by all Catholics.
The graduating exercises of the Sun
day school of the Church Of the Sacred
Heart are to be held the night of June

An elaborate program of exercises has
