WASHINGTON. Feb. 24.-The commission to
codlfy the criminal and penal laws Of tho
United States has reported to Attorney-General
Griggs the publication Of the avs applying to
offences against the Postal service. and this re-
port was transmitted to Congress to-day. The
commission recommends the substitution OF
criminal for civil prosecution in several cases.
Other changes are made with a view OF a moro
proportionate adjustment OF penalties to tho
gravity OF the offence: Private Post Offices and

with the general policy Of the Government.
and it is further recommended by coDsidera-
lions of great weight. 1t is found that in the
larger cities these institutions are made tho
fundamentally OF practices partaking Of fraud
and immortality. In a recent Instance at New
York they were employed as the means by
which two human lives were sacrificed under
circumstances OF grave criminality."
This refers to the Cornish Barnet-Adams

enumerated. SECTION l prescribes a fine OF not
more than $1,000 and imprisonment for not
more than one year for each offence Of leasing

Jim Ham Fleshes His Blade in History.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-!Sir: Under the
heading ola Contribution to History. the local
press Of this village. a few days ago. printed
the following lucubration emanating from that
loom Of original historical research. the House
Of Representatives. at Washington:
Nj. Lewis dem. Of wash.J furnished an interesting
contribution to the historical phase of the subject,
by recalling the fact that Spain agreed to pay Eng.
land $4,000. 900 after the Philippines had been
taken by the English in 1882. But Spain had never
paid. and Lord Waltham had denounced her course
in the Commons Spain was the only country which
had repudiated her treaty obligations.
Inasmuch as this valuable historical gem
stands a chance OF being handed down the
ages, preserved as it now is in the records OF
Congress. it is perhaps well that a refutation of
Congressman Lewis's assertion should follow

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.
DAUGHTERS Should be Carefully
Guided in EARLY Womanhood.

What suffering frequently results
from q mothers ignorance; or more
frequently from q mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughterl ;.
Tradition says woman must suffer, !"
and young women are so taught.
There Is q little truth and great deal
Of exaggeration in this. If young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment and her mother should see
that she gets it.
MANY mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to q physician for examina-
ton; but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is
Lynn, Mass.
The following letterfrom Miss MARIE
r. JOHNSON, Centralia, Pa, shows what
neglect will do, and tells how Mrs.
Pinkham helped her:

had to leave school. Twas tired all the

Prince Loewentein Also Killed in the Series

North Of Manila a-Hot After

Manila, March 26.-The United States
troops under Brigadier Generals Hall
and Wheaton captured Malinta beyond
Tuilahan river to-day after a sharp
fight. Colonel Harry c. Egbert, of the
22d regular infantry, was killed, and
Prince Loewenstein, formerly aid-de-
camp on the staff of Brigadier General
Miller at Iloilo, somehow got in front of
the firing line and was shot in the side,
dying almost instantly. A German who
accompanied him was wounded. The
American casualties to-day were much
lighter than yesterday, the total losses
thus far reported since the engagement
commenced being 45 killed and las
wounded.
The United States gunboat Helena
and other gunboats have been shelling
Malabon, about mile northwest of Ca
loocan, for several hours. Evidently an
ticipating bombardment by the fleet,
thousands of rebels vacated Malabon
last night, leaving a few to burn the
town. Wheaton's brigade, composed of
the I'd Oregon infantry and 22d and 23d
regulars, stretched out along the rail-
road from Caloocan to the Tuilahan
river, was powerless to prevent the
withdrawal, owing to natural obstacles
and strong opposition. The I'd Ore
gon infantry crossed the river on the
left and the 22d on the right, with four
companies of the 23d infantry support
ing the latter. When the Americans
were within about 300 yards of the in
trenchments the Filipinos suddenly
fired heavy volley. The 22d, holding
the center, suffered considerably, but
with the Oregons on the left and the
Goth Kansas infantry on the right in the
woods, the fighting was kept up for half
an hour, the 22d infantry advancing up
the slope through the thick grass under
the hottest kind of fire. General
Wheaton and staff were all the time un-
der rain of bullets. Colonel Egbert
was shot in the abdomen. He was
placed on a stretcher, but died on the
way to the cars. General Wheaton,
barring his head, said: "You have done
nobly." Egbert gasped, II must die.
