TO RUSH MANILA REINFoRCEMENTs
Secretary Root Arranging for Their
| Speedy Departure.


Washington, Aug. 21.-Secretary
Root is busily engaged in selecting Of
ficers to fill the new regiments, going
over the lists of names that have been
submitted with recommendation for
appointment, and considering their eff
ficiency during the Spanish war. The
secretary is giving the matter Of these
selections his personal attention and
the list is being prepared in his pri-
vate office. After the selections are
made by the secretary they will be
sent to the president for his approval
Preparations continue actively in the
matter of arranging for the speedy
transportation of the troops to the
Philippines. The quartermaster's de-
partment has been considering the ad-
visibility Of chartering more trans
ports on the Pacific coast. Already the
ships chartered make it possible to
send nearly all of the organizations
now formed by Sept. 25, instead of two
weeks later, which was the schedule
first shown to Secretary Root. The
being fitted up on the Atlantic coast
and it is expected they will be ready
to sail by the middle OF October and
will take three regiments via the Suez
canal. At the latest calculation 1t Is
now believed to be possible to land all
the new regiments in the Philippines
by the 1st OF December, or very soon
after that date.
Seven of the lieutenant colonies
named are now serving in the Philip
pines. They will remain there and
await the arrival OF their regiments.
While it may not be necessary to use
all the troops in the Philippines, 1t is
understood to be the plan of Secretary
Root to have a sufficient force not only
to defeat the insurgents at every point,
but to garrison and hold the places that
may be taken, and thus insure a safe
line of communication.

CHINESE VEGETABLES.
Hop Chang, of Chicago, Raises the First
East of the Rockies.


Chicago Times-Herald The first
crop of Chinese vegetables raised east
of the Rockies was marketed in South
Clark street early in the week Hop
Chang, an ex-laundryman, was the
grower, and the miniature farm upon
which he raised the Chinese equiva-
Tents for turnips, peas and cucumbers,
is a one-acre tract of land in Forty
seventh street, near KedZie avenue.
Early this week the first vegetables
grown in Chicago by Chinaman were
picked and carried in two large baskets
to South Clark street. When news
that green stuff such as they used to
eat in far off China was for sale, the
folks Of Chinatown came flocking. But
there was grief for many, for the willy
Hop Chang knew he had a monopoly
and charged accordingly. How
muchee?" said a laundryman, holding
up green looking vegetable about the
size of tomato which he called "Gi-
tot 'Fliftee cent" said Chang. The
laundryman dropped it, remarking sor-
rowfully something that sounded like
"Oh, Gee." A rich Chinaman bought
the vegetable, and in a few moments
the entire stock was taken at extrava-
CANT prices by the epicures of the col
ony. Hop Changs crops are in very
thriving condition, and give promise
of rich pecuniary harvest. He has
sent to China for more seeds and Ger
tain farming implements he deems es-
sential to the best results in gardening
Other Cinnamon will doubtless take up
farming as a vocation since Chang has
demonstrated it's feasibility in this eli
mate. Should the Chinese undertake
vegetable gardening in and about Chi
cago they would prove formidable ri
walls to the Dutch and German garden
ers, who now practically monopolize
the field.

pared.
The rector was called away on some
parochial business after dinner, and !,
not caring to join the ladies in my per-
turbed condition of mind, slipped out
and wandered about the old-fashioned
rectory garden, and presently out into
the green lanes, sweet with the per-
fume Of late-blooming honeysuckle
and silent in the hush of evenings
rest from toll and labor.
Love and courtship were certainly in
the air of that corner Of Midshire, and
l was always condemned by some ma
licious fate to be, not an actor in the
sweet drama, but a listener and an in
truder. For the third time since my
introduction to the neighborhood en-

late for me to retire when l came upon
the couple, so there was nothing for it
but a discreet cough, which l had the
presence of mind to set up for the
emergency. The woman turned has
tily at the sound, and to my surprise
l saw that it was Woodward, Nona's
maid.
To my surprise, say, for there was
something in the staid settled plain
ness Of the maids appearance which
was incongruous, to my fancy, with
lovers and love-making. Decidedly
should not have given Woodward
credit for having a sweetheart. Yet
there she was, keeping a twilight tryst
amongst the clematis and the honey
suckle, like any maid of eighteen. And
if anything could have added to my
establishment it was the discovery that
the swain whose arm was about her
waist whose head was bent down over
hers, was the rector's smart, new
groom! There must, l decided, be some
thing more in the middle-aged maid
than met the eye, since she had car
ried off the prize from all her young
and pretty rivals. Possibly, thought,

which had passed-bless the groom and
