"AMIGOS." !"

For those who are not initiated
with the Spanish tongue we viii
say that the word amigos means
friends,
SO in the new possession o1
Uncle Sam at Manila the natives
who are always ready to display
a piece of white cloth at the ap-
proach of our troops are called
amigos.
And such friendship is ter
ribly warm as it has been proved
a few days ago to the satisfaction
OF battalion of the Fourth In
fantry.
On last Monday this battalion,
three hundred men, under the
command of Major Bubb, was sur
rounded by a thousand of the
amigos, six miles from re-en-
forcements and fired upon their
rear by the everlasting amigos.
Only to the good, hard ameri-
can tight put up by the battalion
could they effect a retreat of sew
eral miles until REINFORCED byl
another battalion of the same ;
regiment and some artillery.
loo much confidence in the |
amigos is not to be indulg-
I'd in.

In other words, gentlemen O
the Board, if we are not able to
come up with our dollars and cents.
we have the very best location.
the most desirable portion of the
district and this must be, gentle
men, paramount (vastly superior) J
to the matter of mere dollars and
cents; at least this is what The
ADVERTISER gathers from the
above few line, of the Weekly
Iberian.
Further, reducing it TO its SIM
Plest form, it means: We (Iberia) }
would like 70 have something (In-
dustrial School) and in return
will give you nothing (best loca-
tion from our standpoint.
{ And the Weekly berian goes
forth to show conclusively what
constitutes the best possible loea-
tion, viz: Density of population,
accessibility, health and future
prospect of the place in which the |
school is to be. located. And of
course, all Of these are to be found
in New iberia, and in the greatest
degree as the statistics from the U
;. Government Compendium Of
the Eleventh Census will prove
And the Iberian shows in a tabular
statement the density OF popula-,

CARTRIDGE BEER MUGS.
The Brass Shells Must Have Been
Used in the Late War to De
the Real Thing.

Of all the war relics which have
deluged the country, the new cartridge
beer mugs are the most unique. A fash
ionable New York jeweler has discov-
cred that large cartridges lend them
selves to this purpose, and has prepared
several attractive designs, says the New
York World.
The cartridge beer mugs are made
from empty six-pound shells. The cart
ridges are a little more than three
inches in diameter at the base and
slightly narrower at The top, where the
shell was placed. The opening is large
enough to drink from comfortably. 1t
is the same size as the hole made by
these six-pounder shot in the sides of
the Spanish warships.
The cartridges are made Of brass III
order that they will stand the strain
put upon them at the moment OF eXPlo-
sion without bursting. This quality of
brass will take a higher polish than
poorer grades Of the metal. When pol
ished, the mugs glisten like gold.
Some of the new mugs are arranged
with detachable handles. so that the
cartridge may be used as vase. The
culy other decoration is silver band
on the front setting forth the history
of the cartridge. The inscription
records the rame cf the slip.

the fourth finger from the left, still
holding the thumb at an acute angle,
and you have ", says the Philadelphia
Times.
Now pass to the right hand. Hold
ing the thumb and the hand at the
same angle as before we have VI; by
using the index and the middle finger
we get VII, while the thumb and the
three large fingers make VIII.
Now join the two VS. made by the
thumbs, inverting one, and we have y,
or ten. Then use the X with the last
little finger before it and it will give
TX. The. combinations following x are
obvious. The forefnger of the left hand,
with the thumb at right angles, make
a perfect L; the little finger of the
left hand curved toward the thumb
makes C, the initial of centum (100),
and SO on with the hundreds. Now
join the two thumbs with the fore
fingers, or two VS. inverted, and you
have the hieroglyphics complete.

SWORD in A WINDOW.
How Rear Admiral Schley Saw His
Philadelphia Present Ahead
of Time.

Rear Admiral Winfield Scott Schley
was walking down the avenue with an
old friend, also naval officer, and they
were looking in the shop windows IN
very democratic manner, when the ad-
miral happened TO glance in the WIN
dow of well-known jewelry firm, and
his attention was attracted to mag
nifcent gold sword, says a Philadelphia
paper.
The two gentlemen stopped ard
looked in the window at the sword for
few minutes and read the card which
was near it announcing that this
sword is to be presented to Rear Ad-
miral Schley in Philadelphia on the goth
inst"
LET us go in and see it." said Schley.
And in they went. The jeweler was
near the door and he recognized the
hero of Santiago at once. The sword
and case were taken out of the window
ard placed on top of showcase, where
the admiral could examine it closely.
His face was beaming with delight as
he handled it, and outside there was
GdtnerlES large crown VI lheh' "OAn
en- and children. whose faces were also
beaming. but they were not looking at
the sword. They were studying every
move and change OF expression in
SchIey's face He did not seem to no.
tice them, and after examining the
sword and accompanying belt carefully
for about Is minutes he and his naval
friend walked off. with a great crowd
following closely.
