Her family evidently has had the bene'
fit of contact with civilization, as her
dress indicates. Some of the Tagal
women dress elaborately, but in the
country places, it is said, they are
wholly unconscious of the feeling Of
modesty as applied to dress so com
mon with the women of Europe.

The natives OF the Philippine
Islands-that is the pure bred natives
or aborigines-are called Tagals. They
are Of the Malay race and are about as
Wild and unsophisticated as any Of the
savage peoples Of the world.
They are not an ill-favored race. and
some Of the women are very pretty.

or time, and that the State did not
lose by the failure of the bank, and
that the bank was working under
a special charter that gave it rights
that had been challenged under
the general laws. In view of such
facts the case of the prosecution
seems uncommonly weak. The
following section from the charter
of the bank, reveals the scope to
which the bank had the right to
extend it's dealings:
The said bank may receive money to
keep for its depOsitOrs either with or
without interest payable thereon, and
may buy or sell bullion, sell, draw or
negotiate bills of exchange, bills of
lading, stocks and bonds Of all COM
panies, States and of the United States,
and other good and sufficient securities,
at such rates of interest as may be
agreed upon by said bank and the
borrowers.

States Senator dragged into court
by common detective while the
real prosecutors are masked and

STONE CRUSHER TROUBLE.

The Chsmbersburg Reposit' ry
April 5th says. Ine people of Lur
gan township are having q lively
time now aud it all comes from the
purchase of a stone crusher Last
year the machine was bought and il
is said high piice was paid for it.
1t Was operated through the year and
did good work. When the super-
visors, however, came to pu. the
stone on tie roads they did not
separate the large from the small but
put them on as they came from the
crusher This made the highways
worse than they were instead of bet
ter, and the indignation against the
machine then and there began. This
wss augmented this winter by the
heavy SHOWS which required the
work of large body of men to open
up the reads The supervisors, in
order to meet the expenses, ipcreas-
ed the mill rate from 4 to 81 which
caused more trouble. It WAS soon
ascs rtained that the law did not FER
NIT an increase beyond A mills. As
some had settled their taxes on The
5 rate the supervisors were obliged
to refund the over charge
Considerable dissatisfaction pre-.
vaiis, we are informed, and pe,i
ton is now in circulation requesting
the supervisors to dispose of the
crusber in order to meet the in,
creased indebtedness which has been
placed on the township. There are
some who object to this method and
refuse to sign the petition, on the
ground that the crusher has not
been given fair trial, while others
are al xious to be rid of it in order
that the debt may be at least par.
italy paid. The matter has caused
considerably discussion in The town
ship.

QUAY ON TRIAL.

The trial of Senator Quay began
last Monday, in a court room on
the sixth floor of the City Hall,
Philadelphia, before Judge Biddle
in judicial robes. The charge is
conspiracy with deceased State
Treasurer, and a deceased Cashier
of the broken Peoples Bank, of
Philadelphia, and others to misuse
the States money deposited in the
bank named. The jury consists of
eleven white men and one cOlOred
man, and was selected by noon.
The first witness called was on the
point of the opening of the desk of
the dead cashier at the bank and
who were present, and the books
there. Court adjourned at 3
O'Clock. afternoon. 1t is believed
that the prosecutors will try to
show that what they call tho mis-
use of the State money consisted
in the use of the State
money on deposit in the bank
IN dealing in stocks and so forth
which they say is in direct viola
ton of the law of the State. The
State has not lost single penny
by any of the transactions com
planned of and it may be Justly de-
clared that when State deposits
its money in bank the money be
longs to the bank for the time of the
deposit the bank being responsible tC
the State for the safe return of the
money. Every penny put into the
exploded bank by the State treas
urers was returned to the State

Humorous Court Scene.

PhiIsdelphia Inquirer April 11tb,
1899. A farce comedy not on the
program was enacted in the Camden
District Court yesterday 10 the in
tense amusement of the spectators.
It was with difficulty that ever. Judge
JOHNS could suppress his desire to
smile sufficiently to preserve the
dignity Of the court. What provok.
ed all the mirth was a specimen of
s'Hey, Rube," with q paint brush ap-
pepdage that stuck out from his
chin at an apgle of forty Eve degrees
and with hayseed sticking in his
hair.
The business of the day was prac.
tically over and Judge Joline was
about to adjourn court Suddenly
the door OF the court room was rude
ly thrown back and in walked q man
of middle age, dressed in the fashion
of one of Denman Thompson's char
scters Gazing for a momens at the
assemblage, he remarked:
"Well, I'll be gel darn; what kiud
of place is this anvwav?"
A ripple of laughter greeted this
introduction and Judge Joline re-
questsd the new conner to remove
his bat.
Well, I'll be DANCED if I didn't
forget I had the cid thing on
Then advancing to the bar he con
tinued: "See here; I've got q snit
ith this here man for Sc l don {
owe it to him nuther for l done a
whole heap of work on his house.
and the defendant brought his fist
down on the judges desk with q
bang to emphasize his remarks.
Taking a paper the man hauded
him Judge Joline remarked: "Wby
this is summons in an ejectment
suit instituted by Mr.. Kaighn. and
you should have reported here at 10
O'Clock; it is now half past TO-
swell, Iii DO gol darned if
knowed it were so late. had orter
been here sooner l spec, but l guess
it don't make no matter"
This suit is not for Sc, but is
brought to get you out OF the house,
further explained Judge Joline
"Well, by gosh,' replied the de-
fendant with loud laugh. 'Just TO
think, I s'posed he was suein' N for
$6. when he only wanted mc to git
out of bis house. Why, I'm go;n to
move out of the darned old house
anyhow. I'm goin' back to farm,n !;
there's no use troin' l can't get used
to these here city ways and can't
make any money here anyway. This
certainly is funny; he only wants me
to move" And the defendant fol
lowed up bis remarks with some
more loud laughter.
Il gol darned glad l met you,"
he then exclaimed. as he grasped
Judge Joline's hand and began to
shake it like pump handle. "Yon're
the incest man Pve met in the city.
I wish I bad known you sooner"
Then he went out to get ready to
move back on a farm.
