WeYler IN the PHILIPPINES.

Direct evidence connecting General
Weyler of Cuban fame and memory,
with the wholesale footing of the Phil
ippine treasury, has been unearthed in
Bilibid prison. The books Of tbs
treasury show that Maximiano Rosales
and Julian Reyes were sent to prison
as scapegoats for the vice regal thieves,
but they have been liberated. Investi-
cation discloses the fact that Weyler
and his associates looted the treasury
of about 81, 800, 600 in Mexican silver.
No attempt had been made to cover up
the roDoery. The entire deficit was
explained by the arrest of Rosales and
his companions and their conviction
on the charge of theft.

OUR COLONIES.

fhIs Writer Says Democratic Govern.
ment Will lie Impossible.
To sum up, we find that Holland has
succeeded in Java, where the population
is composed Of Malayans and forced
labor has been enacted; that she has
failed in Surinam, where the popula-
ton is largely negro, and where no
compulsion has been used; that Eng
land has failed wherever the popula-
ton is composed of negroes and has at
tanned a moderate degree Of success
only where East Indian labor@'s form
a considerable proportion Of the pop
ulation and a contract labor system Is
in force; finally, that wherever, in
these colonies which have been dealt
with, any considerable industries exist
the East Indian %indentured immigrant
is found doing the work, says W. AL
leyne Ireland in the Atlantic Monthly.
Any attempt to govern the tropical
possessions of the United States on
democratic principles is doomed to GER
tain failure. 1t has been clearly shown
that without forced labor, or at least
! some form of indentured labor, large
industries cannot be developed in
tropical colonies. The system under
which this country might hope to
achieve success with her tropical pos
sessions is one which the United States
Is not likely to adopt. It is the sys-
tenn advocated by Froude for the ISL
and Of Dominica-surely the most
beautiful OF all tropical islands: s'Find
a Rajah Brooke if you can, or a Mr..
Smith of Scilly. IL + 4 Send him out
with no more instructions than the
knight of La Mancha gave Sancho-to
fear God and do his duty. Put. him
on his mettle. Promise him the praise
of all good men if he does well; and
if he calls to his help intelligent per-
sons who understand the cultivation OF
soils and the management of men, in
half a score years Dominica would be
the brightest gem of the Antilles. s. **
The leading of the wise few, the will
ing obedience of the many, is the be-
ginning and the end of all right action.
Secure this, and you secure every
thing. Fail to secure it, and, be your
liberties as wide as you can make them.

SIOUX MEDICINE WOMAN.
An Actress Said to Possess scme Valuable
Indian Secrets.

An Actress Said to Possess scme Valuable
Indian Secrets.
Henrietta Crossman, the actress, is
L full-fedged medicine wcmanIof the
Sioux tribe CT Indians. among whom
she Is held in high esteem. 1t is not
to bs inferred from this that Miss
Crossman has Indian blood in her veins.
The story of how she obtained the se-
crets she is alleged to possess illustrates
the mortal hatred which one tribe of
Indians may feel toward another, while
at the same time showing the graft
tude and appreciation Of kindness that
sometimes crop out from beneath the
calm and reserve of the redskin. When
Miss Crossman was a baby her father,
Major Crossman, a well-known Indian
fighter of the regular army, was sta
toned in Minnesota. At that time the
Chippewas were almost continually
turbulent. During a brief period Of
peace one of the Chippewa braves took
to wife a Sioux maiden. This was a
serious breach of Chippewa etiquette
and the new squaw had to face the
bitter jealousy and hatred OF several
other wives. While peace lasted sho
was comparatively safe, but as soon as
hostilities broke out again and her hus-
band was called away to fight her life
was made miserable. About this time
Mrs. Crossman was deeply concerned
about her baby girl, who was suffering
from pneumonia and lay lowering be-
tween life and death. One evening the
mother was sitting beside the cot Of her
suffering little one when a young
squaw dashed into the house and
sought protection. 1t was the Sioux
girl who had bcen driven from her hus-
bands tepee by the other wives. One
of them had attempted to stab her,
but the young Sioux seized the knife
and thus saved her life, at the cost OF
a terribly wounded hand. Mrs. Cross
man gave the poor creature such aid
as was possible while the wounded
squaw told her story. Then the dusky
visitor asked to look at the sick baby,
and on learning the cause Of sickness
declared her ability to relieve the little
OlC, duulLS IIdI ACl LIN "oo ~
great medicine man of the Sioux, and
that from him she had learned many
secrets. Mrs. C~rossman, feeling that
the Indian girl would at least not harm
the child, gave permission for an ex-
pertinent to be made. The squaw al
once departed and in an hour returned
with some herbs which she combined
into a medicine which actually seemed
to afford the child speedy relief. A
few days later the baby was as we'll al
ever. Then the Sioux girl disappeared
and succeeded in reaching her own
people. When Miss Crossman vas old
enough she told the story. In after
years she met the Sioux woman and al
the latter's request was formally
chosen a medicine woman A number
Of Indian secrets were confided to her,
and now her fame is great among the
Sioux. Thus it happens that whenever.
with her company, she chances to be
playing near an Indian settlement she
Is sure to be overwhelmed with dusky
visitors, bringing all sorts Of offerings
she has a smattering of the Sioux
language, and it seems strange to SEE
the big chiefs and warriors bow down
to this dainty little woman.

Cold in Polk County, Tenn.

Word reached local stakeholder,
in this city yesterday that the
Eureka Gold Mining company had
struck the vein of gold for which
they have been ~tunneling for some
time. 1t is the vein which a shaft
sunk at the same place months ago
revealed as being a $44 per ton grade
Of ore. The shaft was 800 feet deep.
The tunnel upon which two sets of
men have been working day and
night for several weeks is 400 feet in
length, starting on a level with Cocker
creek. The tunnel has been dug
through almost solid granite. The
gold bearing vein has been reached
but as yet nothing can be told of its
extent. 1t, however, shows the same
characteristics as that shown in the
shaft and it is believed the most
sanguine expectation of the owners is
about to be realized.
The owners of the Eureka mine all
live in this ~city.-KnOruiMe Sentinel.

A Housewives Experience.

a Frankfort (Ky.) exchange tell,
the following:
One night during the recent cold
snap a lady living on Fourth avenue,
South Side, made up a pan of light
bread and set it to rise. In order to
prevent its freezing she placed two
chairs close together, rested an end
of the pan on each, lighted a coal oil
lamp and set it upon the floor between
the chairs. Immediately under the
pan, so that the heat coming out of
the top of the lamp chimney would
keep the bread warm. When she
went to look after the bread the next
morning she found that the heat from
the lamp had caused moisture TO
collect on the bottom Of the pan,
which had dripped down and frozen
on the sides of the lamp chimney.
The bread was frozen solid in the
pan, and still the lamp burned
brightly.

a ~SagaCiOuS Animal.

The Fulton, kentucky, Leader tell
the following story:
Talking about the cold snap, Dick
Kelly tells the following incident
illustrating canine sagacity. While
out in the front lot Monday morning
he noticed a large Newfoundland dog
rushing along the road toward town.
Out there among the hills Mr.. Kelly
says the thermometer must have been
"a degrees below zero (as his cattle
had their mouths frozen to the water
while drinking from the pond where
ice fifteen inches thick had been
broken). When Mr.. Kelly first saw
the dog he was carrying a very proud
tail, which, unknown to the animal,
was frozen as stiff as a poker, and in
passing to near a tree he tried to
wag his caudal appendage. When it
struck against the tree, the frozen
narrative snapped of to within an
inch Of the body, like brittle glass.
Realizing that he had lost his steer
ing apparatus, the intelligent animal
turned around, seized the disjointed
member in his mouth, and made a
bee line for town, rushing into DR..
Will Whayne'S office, and laying the
severed member on a chair, he gave
he surgeon to understand by looking
1t the stub that renamed of his proud
ornament that he wanted the two
ie we'd together.
