Lighthouse Needed on 1. |. Coast.

More lights on the south shore of Long
Island are demanded by the shipping in
terests. The coast is one of the most
dangerous and poorly lighted anywhere.
When this coast is as well lighted as ~
the path to health by Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters there will be little danger
This remedy Will guide anyone to health.
Don't judge il by what other remedies
have failed to do, but by what it has
done. 1t will prevent and cure indiges-
ton. constipation and biliOusness- 1t will
and kidneys. and for weak, nervous peo-
pie with impoverished blood, it is abso-
lutely priceless. Give it an honest trial,
and don't be persuaded into taking
some thing just as good" There is moth
ing just as good.

LEWIS CASTOR. IR.. CAPTURED.
Delivered to Sheriff at keene, N. H.. by His
Brother and Rev. Mr.. Wheeler.

Keene, n. H., June S.-Lewis Castor.
Jr., who shot and killed his wife at her
home, about 10 days ago, and who has
been in hiding ever since. is now under
guard in the county Jail The search for
Castor came to an abrupt end, tonight.
when his brother. joseph Castor, and
Rev. Mr.. Wheeler, rector OF 81. James
Episcopal church, appeared at Sheriff
Tuttle's house with the alleged murderer
in their charge.
Castor was 50 thoroughly exhausted
that he would not taIn, but after being
searched he was taken into the Jail and
locked up. Neither Joseph Castor nor
Mr. Wheeler would say where they found

American Prisoners In Hands Of FiIipiros
All in Good Health.

Washington, June S.-The situation
IN the Philippines is described by Gen.
OTIS in the following cablegram:
Manila, June g.
Adjutant General, Washington:
The result of the movements in Mo-
fong province was to drive insurgents
into the mountains, capturing Antipole
and other towns in that section with
point OF land projecting into bay. They
retreated and scattered before our adj
vance, leaving % dead on field: our loss.
four killed and few wounded. mostly
Slight
City of Morong garrisoned: all other
troops withdrawn. Inhabitants of
provinces profess friendship. ask pro-
lection, large numbers wish to enter
Manila; refuse as city population in
creasing TOO rapidly. Leading natives
throughout island. including active in
surgent leaders, seek permission to
send families to Manila; considered on
ly place of personal safety.
(signeO OTIS"
The conclusion drawn by the war de-
partment, concerning the condition in
the Philippines given in the dispatch of
Gen. Otis are that the insurgents are
little more than marauding bands
which will continually decrease
when the men find there is life and
liberty under American government.
These bands are regarded as something
like the bands Of Indians. % or go
years ago. ana the people who are com
ing into the American lines asking for
protection are considered like those
who sought protection in the forts dur
ing the early stages of American de-
velopment in the West.
Nothing is yet said as to the inten-
ton Of Gen. Otis to continue active
hostilities but this is a matter that
will be left wholly in the hands Of eGn.
Otis and he will no doubt fight or rest
as the circumstances determine.

could see bandage there. 1t was the
right arm, | remember. 1t struck me
as queer that a wound in the arm
should disable the man so he couldn't

his left thigh. That set me thinking,

gone through his right arm at the
shoulder had gone through the body

to hip, and the man was dying.

opinion the whole attack would have

whooping. l never heard such blood

the charge.

of them swore at me for doing it. One
man called out as l started down the

WOMEN LIKE COPPERS.
Not the Police, But the Indispe nsabls
Little Red One-Cent
Pieces.

Every man in the east swearS at a
conductor or ticket seller when one OF
those officials unloads on him lot Of
one-cent coins-pennies, as they are
miscalled. Women seem to like them,
probably because their bulk makes
them seem like a lot of money. A wom-
an makes quite financial transaction
of it when she pays her toll for trans
portation. Watch her block line OF
hurried business men at the ticket Of
fee of the elevated roads. Note bow she
fishes around in her fat wallet for the
little coppers, jobbing dry goods sam
pies, cooking recipes and Similar port
able bric-a-brac into her moutfSto clear
the bank.
One by one she'll drag them out, and
finally scatter them over the little
shelf at the window. She always saves
the coppers for that purpose, and the
ticketmen and conductors are painful
" aware of that fact. They never fail
to get even when making change to a
woman. Lots of women keep what
they call penny banks. These come in
handy for papa occasionally just before
pay day.
In the west and southwest one-cent
pieces are extremely scarce. In many
regions they are not to be found in cir
Fculation at all except in the post Offices.
The minimum price on small commodi-
tics is five cents and the nickel is the
smallest coin known. But. in spite of
that fact. there are more than billion
of the little copPers in use in this coun-
try constantly. They disappear rap
idly, however. and the mint in Philadel-
phia is kept busy turning out 100000
a month to keep up the supply.
The coin is not worth its face value
intrinsically. but nobody appears to
worry about that. The government
makes good profit on it. 1t contains

alloy of five per cent. of tin and zinc
