Washington, Jan. 17.-As telegraphed
from Washington. President Mckinley
has selected Jacob Gould Schurman,
President of Cornell University, as a
member of the commission to inquire
into the political conditions in the
Philippines and to arrange plan for
their future government by the United
States. President Schurman has defin-
itely accepted the Presidents tender,
as has also Rear-Admiral Geo. Dewey.
OF the several other men who have
been asked to serve on the commission.
Major-Gen. Francis V. Greene, of New
York, has been obliged to decline;
Professor Dean G. Worcester, of Ann
Arbor University, has not signified
whether he will serve, and Col. Charles
DENLY, former Minister to China, and
member of the War Investigating
Commission, has practically accepted.
Major-Gen. Elwell S. Otis, the com
mander of the United States Military
forces in the Philippines, has been
asked to serve on the commission, and
it is regarded as certain that he will
accept. There is little doubt felt that
the personnel of the commission as
finally arranged will consist of Prof.
Schurman, Prof. Worcester, Col. Dem
by, Admiral Dewey and Gen. Otis.

How TO Pronounce it.

The pronunciation of Iloilo has
much bothered the authorities al
Washington, and it seems from
General Whittier's report that tine
natives pronounce it differently. Mr.
Lopez, privatesecretary of Agoncillo
Aguinaldo's representative at Wash
ington, pronounces the name very
much like "Weeloweelo," and in
lieu of anything better that has been
adopted. 1t looks hard, but it's easy
when you know how,

The following anecdote of a three
horned beetle will give some idea of it's
vast strength of body. A beetle was
brought in, and, there being no box at
hand in which to put it, it was clapped
under quart bottle of milk, which
happened to be upon the table, the hol-
low at the bottom Of the bottle allowing
the insect to stand upright.
Presently the bottle began to move
slowly and glide along the smooth ia
BILE, propelled by the muscular power of
the imprisoned beetle, and continued
its travels for some time, to the aston
ishment of all who witnessed it. The
weight of the bottle and it's contents
could not have been less than three
pounds and half, while that of the
beetle was about half an ounce So that
it readily moved weight 112 times
greater than its own.
A better notion than figures can con-
vey will be obtained of this feat by sup
posing a lad of IS to be imprisoned
under great bell weighing $4,000
pounds and to move it to and fro upon
smooth pavement by pushing it from
within.-New York Sun.

Protect Our Food.


The doctors inform US that alum is a
poison, and that alum baking powders
should be avoided because they make the
food uLwholsome. Prominent hygienists,
who have given the matter most study,
regard these powders as an evil that
should be suppressed by state action. In
Minnesota and Wisconsin alum powders
are not permitted to be sold unless they
are branded to warn customers of their
true character, while In the District of
Columbia the authorities have, under the
direction Of congress, adopted regulations
to prohibit the use of alum In bread alto
gether.
Are not the people Of other states, as
we'll as those Of Minnesota and Wiscon-
sin, entitled to warning Of danger which
Is apparently menacing them at close
hand, and Is not the whole country emit

of the District of Columbia are protected,

MANSFIELD.

There Is feud In Pleasant Valley, for
merly called Pudding Lane" which, II |
1t keeps on growing, bids fair to rival the /
southern type Those who seem to be |
enjoying each others displeasure are the
families Of Nathaniel P. Perkins, his SON. |
in-law, John Grigg, on the one side, and |
L. ]. McIntire, neighbor, on the other.
Their little pleasantries, on several occa-
sions heretofore, have been aired In the
Mansfield justice courts. Mr.. Perkins
on one or two occasions has been COM
PEELED to suffer TIE penalties of the law
for the part he has taken in those little
unneighborly affairs. The last affair was
aired before Justice Of the Peace G. w.
Moore at Eagleville last Saturday. John
Griggs was charged with defacing Mr.,
McIntire's house with filth. The wit
nesses, Edwin Cross and Albert French,
testified that on the evening of May IA
Griggs proposed to them to go over to
McIntires house and hang May basket,
and they went along. They noticed that
Griggs carried pail filled with filth.
They supposed that, as joke, Griggs in
tended to leave it on the steps of the
house for McIntire to find when he came
to the door, but instead, when they came
near enough, Griggs took paddle and
began to throw the filth over the front of
the house until he had exhausted the sup
ply. On their way home Griggs threw
the pail away. The defense offered no
evidence, and Justice Moore found prob
able cause to support the complaint and
bound Griggs over to the next criminal
term of the Tolland county superior
court, under bonds of $4OO. The bonds
we're furnished by Griggs' father-in-law,
N. P. Perkins. The case was prosecuted
and Mr.. Griggs was defended by John e.

Gottlieb LUCE, %, was thrown from his
wheel, late Sunday afternoon. on Vernon
Avenue, and met with a peculiar and
painful injury. He was going quite fast
down grade, and was thrown by dog,
striking on his head and shoulder. His
right ear was almost severed from his
head. There were also number of bad
scalp wounds. His ear was sewed on and
the doctor thinks that he can save it.
On Saturday afternoon strange horse
came to the yard of William J. Aborn,
who found him drinking water out of a
trough at the barn. The horse appeared
to be suffering from thirst, and drank
greedily. Later In the day, when Mr..
Aborn was looking for COW, he found q
Concord buggy In the woods, where the
horse had been hitched. The harness had
been taken off and placed in the wagon.
1t was evident from the appearance of the
ground that the horse had been there for
two or three days, as the grass and ground
were torn up by the plunging Of the horse,
until it was finally able TO break away.
The wagon bore the name of F. E. North
rop, agent for the Morey Wagon COM
pany, Southbridge, Mass. Mr.. Aborn
telephoned to Mr.. Northrop that he had
his team here. Mr.. Northrop came after
the team Monday and took the outfit
home with him. He said that the team
was hired by two Frenchmen on Thurs
day. They both got drunk and one of
them threw the other out of the wagon.
The one who was thrown out, as soon as
he ''revived," went back to Southbridge,
but did not know where the team was.
Why the Frenchman left the team in the
woods Is not known.
