DELUDED FILlPINOS.

The Filipinos have been given
another object lesson in American
military skill aud prowess, and it
would seem that they would soon
realize the hopelessness of their
cause. Deluded by an exaggerated
idea of their own ability and an
underestimation of the power of
America, they have precipitated a
struggle that has already cost them
many lives and no little property.
and which cannot but end in dis
aster for them.
If they could have understood
the intentions of the United States
in landing troops on the islands.
and could have realized the i'm
p)rtance of accepting the condi-
lions imposed, all this troubI,
would have been averted.
Two factors, however, entered
into the rebellion. The first and
perhaps the prime cause of THEN
assuming belligerent attitude is
devotion to their chosen chief.
whose ambitions have turned his
head, and the second is the gross,
ignorance of the natives. Let the
Filipinos once understand the sell
fish policy of Aguinaldo aud tn,
humane motives of this country.
and all resistance to American rule
will cease.
In the meantime. it is most un-
fortunate that such severe punish
ment must be inflicted, and yet the
time will surely come when the
Filipinos themselves will rejoice to
see the Stars and Stripes wave over
their native land because of the in
calculable benefits that will accrue
to them from such condition.

The following story is told of the late
Queen Louise of Denmark, who was as
model a mother as she was a queen;
One day Empress Augusta was talk
ing to her daughter-in-law. the present
Empress Frederick of Germany who
had been complaining TO her Of the
difficulty she experienced now and again
of keeping her children in order. We
need not, therefore. take il that those
youngsters were more unruly than 9TH
ers of the same age and less exalted po-
sition; but. as matter of course they
had their fits of too exuberant spirits
and the then crown princess of Prussia
who was at that moment, as she was
nearly always. engaged in some philan-
thropic project. may have grown some
what fretful under the circumstances.
"What am l to do with theml' insist
ed the crown princess. Ask your
mother, replied the empress Then,
after "A slight pause. she changed her
mind. No; don't ask your mother.
She always had all of You dangling
round her skirts, too, when she was
your age; she was always frightened
that the mother might be lost in the
queen. Ask your sister-in-law' 5 mother
ask Queen Louise of Denmark There
is an equal proportion of the queen and
the mother about her, and | know OF
no better brought mp children than
hers "
If one could cut that sentence of En-
press Augustus on Queen Louise OF
Denmark $ tombstone. it would consti-
tute the finest epitaph ever recorded in
royal mausoleum.

The Grand Jury Hndicts Nolineaux for
Murder i'm Ihe First Degree.

New York, March 2.-Roland b. Moli-
neauX was yesterday indicted by the
grand jury for murder in the first de-
gree in causing the death of Mrs. Kath-
crime j. Adams. The finding of the in
dictment does away with a hearing be-
fore the coroner, and there will be
small chance for Molineaux's counsel
10 take any steps in his behalf until
the case actually comes to trial.
The indictment contained four
counts: First, that Molineaux sent a
poison through the mails to kill and
which did kill Mrs. Katherine j. Ad-
ans; second, that Molineaux did send
through the mails poison for the
purpose of killing some unknown per-
son; third, that Molineaux sent
through the mails cyanide of mercury
with intent to kill; fourth. that MoIi-
ncauN sent an unknown poison to kill

What is the first duty of a good

was about to start from New York on
an extended European tour.

An American girl not long ago spoiled
the pleasure of party of tourists by
complaining of everything on sea and
on land. The ship was a dreadful
roller, the cabins were badly ventilated,
the cooking was abominable, the serv-
ice was shocking, the officers were I'M

indignant over her want of amiabil-

"It makes me almost seasick merely
TO look at her." exclaimed one of the
ladies.
"Perhaps she will cheer up" was the
charitable response, when she reaches
port"
But she was as unhappy on land as
she had been at sea. She was angry
with the customs officers and told
them that they had mauled and ruined
her best gown. She found fault with
the lovely rural scenery between South
ampton and London. She pronounced
English cooking to be utterly vile. She
lnveighed bitterly against the weather
and the climate. She was not inter-
ested in cathedrals, castles, palaces, pic
lures, colleges, ruins or country roads.
She was bored by everything she saw.
One night she received a round robin
signed by every other member of the
party expressing regret that she was
not enjoying her journey and Offering
their sympathies in her vexations and
discomforts. 1t was bold stroke on
the part of her friends, who were worn
