ONE WOMAN'S NERVE.
Mrs. Harris Assembled the New
Edison Chimney.

Mrs. Harris, wife of H. J. Harris,
chief engineer of the Edison Electric
Light company, made the trip to the
top of the new chimney which has been

In speaking of the trip Mrs. Harris
said: There were several people down
to the electric light plant this morning
and we were all talking about going
to the top of the stack They all said
that 1 was afraid to go. So I told them
that if they would be down this after
noon that I would so to the top and
back My husband went with me and
1 was not the least bit scared. Perhaps
if he had not been with me l would
have been frightened"

The Woman of the Angelus.

TF'rom the Woman's Home CompaniOnl
BarbizOn, a little village in the midst
of the forest of Fontainebleau, d short
distance from Paris, has become a goal
of pilgrimage for many admirers Of
Millet's work and particularly for those
who know that the woman who sug-
gested to the great painter his famous
picture of 1.-The AngeluS'' still lives
there in a little cottage, a stones throw
from where she was born. Mere Adele's
home is a small Vine-clad cottage, in
which she lives a frugal but cOmforta-
BILE life, troubled only by the Overin-
quisitive tourists and By her rheuma-
tism She must have been an attrac-
tive woman once, for even now. al
though she has witnessed the passing
of more than threescOre years and ten.
there are traces of former beauty in
her Wrinkled face.
Mere Adele is a lady, though she has
worn her fingers blunt by toll, and her
form is bent under the burdens she has
had to bear. When she looks at you her
smile is like a benediction, and the
beautiful things OF earth are not lost
upon her. Her manner is cheerful. as
one who feels she has not lived in vain.
If questioned closely, she will tell you
of the day when the great artist came
through the dense forest with his wife
and children, leaving behind him the
gay city of Paris with its schools of
painting and its models.
She knows a great deal of the very
hard days which followed for Jean
Francois Millet-the toll. the anxiety.
the appointments. She nursed his
five children, and did the little field
work in the garden adjoining the cot
tage When he saw his nurses girl,
Adele, and her father reverently bow
ing their heads in prayer at the ring
ing of the Angelus, he conceived the
picture which, if not his best work. IS
yet the best known, and the one most
appreciated by the people. Mere Adele
calls herself a child of God. She looks
it in the painting, and she lives it ey-
cry daY in her humble cottage.

LaWt0n,
Will Be Necessary For the Subju-
cation of the Philippine
Islands.

Forth With a Much Smaller
Force,
But to Hold Territory Taken a
Large Number Will Be
Required.

New YORK, April 1S.-A dispatch to
the World from Manila says: Major
General Lawton at Pate authorized the
World correspondent to make this state
ment:
1.-The present prospect is that one hun
dred thousand troops will be necessary
to pacify the Philippine islands"
General Lawton's expedition has been
ordered to Manila, and will return at
once. All the territory he captured will
be evacuated and all the launches seized
will be restored to their original own
ers-that is to say they will be given
back to the persons from whom Aguin-
aldo's soldiers took them.
After giving the opinion that 100, 00O
men will be required to subdue these
islands, General Lawton explained the
situation to the World correspondent as
follows:
"The difficulties in the way are those
in fighting guerillas in a tropical
country.
with my brigade I could force my
way from one end of the island to the
other, if I did not have to hold the terri
tory trayersed. But leaving garrisons
behind would soon eat up the whole
force"
General Lawton regretted exceedingly
being compelled to evacuate the terri
tory he had captured.

Brooke Approves the Plan of
Gen. Monteaguedo For a
Rural Guard.

HAVANA, April 1s.-The last general
order issued by Major General Fitz
Hugh Lee to his command, the Seventh
army corps, is in part as follows:
can order has been received which
moves the last regiment Of the Seventh
army corps across the sea to be mus
tered out Of the service of the United
States, and the ranks of its organization
will be forever broken. The record
made by the officers and men, however,
will be forever preserved on the pages
of the military history in which their
country will inscribe their deeds. Nc
troops have won a greater reputation
for discipline, drill, manly discharge OF
duty, soldierly conduct and chez rful
obedience to all orders.
Would Have Led the Assault.
"The presidents assurance that had
the war with Spain continued the Sew
enth army corps would have been Sc
lected to lead the assault on the Havana
lines, proves that the corps possessed
the confidence of the commander-in-
chief of the army and navy, a confidence
shared by his fellow countrymen.
cit is gratifying, in reviewing the
career of the corps, to remember the
harmony which has existed among the
$4,000 soldiers who answered the roll
call at Tampa, Jacksonville, Savannah
and in Cuba, whether it were the vol
unteers who afterwards, at various
times, broke ranks and resumed the
duties Of citizenship, or the regulars
whose standards, still flying, are now
the advance sentinels of American
progress and civilization.
''The soldiers of the North and South
took the sunshine and storm of camp
together and marched side by side un.
der one flag, to one cause, and for one

Deafness Cannot Re Cured.

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed
condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets infamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, ana when
it is entirely closed Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever: nine cases out of
ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothin9 but an infiamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.

FILIPINOS HAVE AN ALLY.

Climate Depended Upon to Kill Off Amer
o&p troops.
NEW YORK, April 1S.-A Hong Kong
letter to The World says:
eve are weak and you are strong"
said DR. Gallicano Apacible, the head
Of the Filipino junta here, but we have
an ally and you have none"
we have 10000 stands of arms and
80, coo troops IN the field, and sufficient
material to make cartridges to supply
our troops for four years to come.
Our ally is the climate of the Phil
ippines. Your bullets cannot kill one
OF our men where disease will kill
twenty OF yours once you begin to ad-
vance into tho interior We will harrass
your advance at the same time that we
welcome it.
I'VE cannot fight pitched battles with
you, and we do not need to- We shall
be here today and there tomorrow, at
lacking, then flying. You can no more
catch us or conquer us than you can the
wind"
Youth seems to be the invariably first
requirement of leadership among the
Filipinos. Only the younger generation
of half-breeds have had the advantage
of education. DR.. Apacible and DIR.
Santos (after Apacible the most promi-
nent member Of the Hong Kong junta)
are under %. and both have received
the degree of doctor of laws in Spain.
Between them and the numerous young
men who are their associates, and the

much resemblance as between quad
room and full-blooded negro. They

priest; priests educated them, and by
the irony Of fate, now holds hundreds
