The donation and supper at the P NJ
church. March "a, was a success socially
as we'll as financially, and as reported
last week, the men took charge of the
supper, and much credit is due to those
who participated. The artistic way in
which Fred MADISON and Ezra Bussey
spread the tables with delicacies, carved
chickens, cut cakes and pies was a sur
prise, and it was obvious that George
Sherwood, Charlie Green, Jonathan
Marsden, Henry Vivian and Bert Parks
had particular talent for waiting on
the tables. Special notice was given to
the excellent coffee prepared by Mr. J W
Conn of Edgerton. Messrs John Craig,
Amos Bunting, Walter Marsden and

much and especially the ladies, and hope
to have the same experiment again in
the near future.

SMITH WENT TO STAND TRIAL.

South Carolina Murderer Carried
Back to the Scene of His Crime.
Sheriff S. c. Varnadoe of Dorchester
county, South Carolina, returned home yes
terday with Jim Smith, who is wanted in
Sheriff Vanedoe's county for the murder
of George Hawkins, in April. 1t will be
remembered that Smith was arrested here
by Detective Scully some two weeks ago.
Sheriff Varnedoe says that he will be
able to demonstrate conclusively Smiths
guilt of the crime with which he is charg-
ed. 1t seems that Hawkins was gambling
with Smith and another negro the last
named Washington and that Hawkins
had won the money. 1t was agreed be-
tween Smith and Washington that they
should go to Hawkins home and scare him
out, shooting him as he made his exit.
This programme was followed and. as
Hawkins came out of the door by which
Smith was stationed, he was the one who
did the shooting, After the shooting
Smith vanished, while Washington was ar
rested and carried before the grand jury.
No evidence could be secured upon which
true bill could be found. and he was
turned loose. 1t is upon his evidence that
it is expected that Smith will be con-
Victed.

INITIATIVE FILIPINOS.

From the Manila Freedom.
OF all the races peopIing this mundane
sphere not one has such an extraordinary
spirit of imitation as that which inhabits
the Philippine Islands. This race of peo-
Pile of Malay origin, which occupies all
the archipelago of the Celebas sea, lacks
entirely the aesthetic taste necessary for
the proper combination of colors, construc-

designs and the good taste which is re-
quired for the culture and advancement
of a people. They have no IDEAS of this
kind of their own, and in all matters Of
taste do nothing more than what they
see in races of the West
Any one who has observed the Fihpinos
viii have noticed that they have no ideas
at all in regard 20 the proper combina-
ton of colors in their wearing apparel,
as, ia spite of their dusky compilations,

complexion with a dress Of any of these
cOOrs presents an appearance that Is hld~
eous in the extreme. ID is not uncommon
to see dark-sknued Indian girls dressei
in such bright greens that if they should
encounter a carabao they are liable TO be
eaten by that festive animal OF account OF
their similarity to bunch of hay.
The reason why those people cut this
ridiulous figure is that they see these
bright colors on European women, and,
without thinking of the effect which on
account of their different complexion such
hues are liable to produce, readily adopt
them and consider themselves the most ell
egant of the elegant
No sooner does new fashion arrive

were all araryed in suits of the same co.or
as those worn by the army of occupation
They noticed the hats of straw or felt
with a blue polka dot band. and in a few
days all the Indians and half breeds were
wearing the same kind of hats as the
Americans.
I believe that the Americans will have
but little trouble in introducing here their
usages, customs and languages. as to that
end the spirit of imitation which predomi-
mates in the native race will be a power
ful factor.
