Every mark Of respect we pay to
each otner in the streets is heather
act of worship, says. an English paper.
Take the soldiers salute rs an In
stance. When England was a prov
ince Of the Roman empire, our ances-
tors had to worship the Roman gods.
The worshiper sided up to the statue
and threw kiss with one hand. But
in Roman times the emperor was also
q god. and the salute was paid to him.
Then it was paid to his viceroys, gov
errors, generals and officers. 1t is
still paid by the soldiers to every Off

Tommy Atkins treats Lieutenant

In approaching Il god or king the
ancients bowed the knee. Today
servant approaching her mistress
bows both knees, and the mistress ap-
preaching the queen bows one knee in
the courtesy. Men bow one knee to
the queen, bow the head to q superior
or employer, nod the head to an ac-
ouaintance. The nod is q survival OF
the divine honors.
In approaching god the Romans
went uncovered. We uncover to Ia
dies, in the presence of the queen and
at the sound Of the national anthem.
We uncover on entering private
house, but in Russia one must un-
cover In every shop and public house
because the emperor's picture always
hangs in q corner.
In pagan times the king was always
a god-or n descendant Of the gods.
So the ancient king demanded that
divine honors be addressed to him.
He must be called lord" Sooner or
later all the little kings were thrashed
into obedience to the one big king who
ruled the whole country. But the lit
tie kings kept the divine title lord, and
their descendants keep it today.
One common custom goes right back
to the time when our forefathers were
painted savages and made human sac
rifices to the gods. 1t is kissing under
the mistletoe.

ratio of two to one, buy Mexican
stamps, and with them mail the mat

MOVING PLEASURE CRUISE
A LANDING PARTY SENT ASHORE

Manila, May 31.-Details regarding the capture by Filipinos of two officers on the United States hospital snip Relief yester- day have just been obtained. The Relief lies in the harbor in front of this city.
 Third Officer Fred Heppy and Assistant Engineer Chas Blanford, rigged sail on one of the ship boats and went sailing along the shore, on the south, opposite the insurgent lines. The boat became becalmed near the shore and some native canoes with Filipinos aboard put out and cap- tured the two men, who were unarmed, and also took possession of the boat
 The United States turret ship Monadnock quickly sent boat with a landing party ashore under cover of her guns and she'll ed the shore briskly. The natives, how ever, rushed the prisoners into the woods before the Monadnocks boat reached land.
 Persons on board several other ships saw the affair through glasses but were un- able to prevent the capture of Messrs. Heppy and Blanford.
 Reign of Terror Prevails :
 Friendly natives arriving here from the country around San Isidro and San Miguel report that a reign of terror has prevailed since the American troops were withdrawn from those parts of the islands. The ln- surgents were returning there to deal ven- gence upon those of their country. who have shown any friendship toward the Americans during the latter's occupation.
 The friendlies declare that unoffending people are being murdered daily, and that their houses are being burned and their property conflscated. Plenty of sympa- thizers with the insurrection remained dur ing the Americans stay, and they have reported tese instances of friendliness to- wards our troops.
 Te refugees add that the inhabitants were badly oppressed by the native sol- diers before the American occupation, but that their condition Is worse now.
 Doubtless there is much truth in the re- ports, though such stories from Filipino sources are always magnifed.

MOVEMENT [OR A REVOLUTION Conspicuous Leader of Cuban Assembly Collecting Toll
 for This Purpose.

Havana, May S1-The military adminis- tration has been informed that a conspicu- ous leader of the late military assembly re- gently collected thirty centenes from a wealthy Spanish merchant in this city. representing that it was a contribution to a revolutionary fund. The merchant gave the money on the assurance that 1t would secure him a favorable status with the possible future government. He revealed this to the Americans.
 The extent, design and cause of the pro- posed rebellion are only known to the Americans through this informant and whether there is any further foundation for the suggestion cannot be ascertained of the merchant, as he was told that noth- ing would be attempted for several months.

Washington was buried In what Is
now known as the old vault. which Is
perhaps 600 feet away FROM his present
resting place. Before his death he had
requested that new family vault be
constructed after his decease. and the
reason given for this is that the earth
upon the side Of the hill where the old
vault was placed was likely TO slip away
in the springtime.
No attention was apparently paid to
this request, however, until about
1880 when an employee who had been
DISCHARGED from the estate broke into
the old tomb as an act of revenge and
stole a skull which he supposed to be
that of George Washington. This he
took 20 Alexandria, and, as usual in
such cases, "got drunk" and so his
secret was discovered. and the skull,
which proved TO fe that of Laurence
Washington instead was returned.
This incident led to tho final carrying
ont of the wish of General Washington.
The tomb which is his present resting
place was promptly built, and in 1881
his remains were removed to 1t. The old
vault wGs allowed TO fall into state of
decay, and only few years ago it was
restored by the aid of drawings found
in the congressional library. An iron
fence has been built around it, and 1t
now receives the same care as the new
tomb. b.-Exchange

Julius Cmsar.

OF all great conquerors, writes Marion
Crawford in "Studies From the Chron-
icles of Rome" he was the least cruel,
for he never sacrificed human life with
out the direct intention of benefiting
mankind by an increased social stabili-
ty. OF all great lawgivers, he was the
most wise and just, and the truths he
set down in the Julian code are the
foundation of modern justice. OF all
great men who have leaped upon the
world as upon an unbroken horse, who
have guided ii with relentless hands
and ridden it breathless to the goal of
glory, Caesar is the only one who turned
the race into the track of civilization
and, dying, left mankind q future in
the memory of his past He is the one
great man of all without whom it is
impossible to imagine history. We can
not take him away and yet leave any
thing of what we have. The world
could have been as il is without Alex
ander, without Charlemagne, without
Napoleon. 1t could not have been the
world we know without Caius Julius
Caesar.

JUST A CURTAIN FIRE.
II Was In Girls Donr5ing school
aud Did Complicated Damage.

and Did Complicated Damage.
A fire in skyscraper may he thrill
ing. but for dramatic episodes and nm
expected complications fire in girls
boarding school surpcsscs it. The board
ing school fire is usually what is known
among insurance men as n curtain fire.
but curtain fire in n girls school is
more exciting and causes more casual
ties than an ordinary blaze anywhere
else.
One evening last week two girls, who
occupy n microscopic hall bedroom in
swell up town school, took the globes
off the gas fixtures for hair curling pur-
poses and left them off. because it was
easier TO do that than to put them on
again. Then the girls raised the window
n trihe in order to cool the room and
dutifully sat down TO write home let
ters. The inevitable happened, and
when girl number one poised her pen
in the air and glanced around the room
in search of inspiration she saw the
curtains in blaze. She screamed Girl
number two looked around and echoed
the scream. Then, with promptitude
and discretion, both girls tainted. The
screams had attracted the attention of
the other girls, who rushed to the scene
and then did various and sundry stunts,
according to their several dispositions.
One tainted, several wept, a few ran
out of the house. and the rest shouted
for the one man on the premises.
When he arrived, things locked rather
hopeless. Curtains and woodwork were
blazing finely. The floor was Uttered
with prostrate forms, and when three
girls have tainted on the floor of "A hall
bedroom there isn't much space in the
room for promenading. The man picked
his way across the prostrate forms and
ordered all the girls who were not in u
dead faint to leave the room. but they
didn't go until he lost his temper and
spoke with force which isn't common
in boarding school circles. Then they
fled; but, unluckily, there was an c.le-
my in the rear. A vigorous and practi-
cal woman from Texas had been inspir-
ed to go after some water. Returning
in mad haste with large pitcherful
of water borne triumphantly aloft, she
collided with the retreating forces at
the door The pitcher struck the leader
of the retreat squarely in the face and
knocked out two of her front teeth
whereupon the injured girl made the
fainting trio quartet and the water
carrier dropped her pitcher and went
into violent Mysteries.
Hysteria, as boarding school teachers
know to their sorrow, is contagious,
and the one case touched off the crowd
By the time teachers arrived upon the
scene the fire was out, but the survivors
were in bad way. 1t was necessary to
put nine-tenths of the school to bed and
order wholesale doses of bromide Even
now the girls insist that they haven I
recovered from the shock sufficiently to
do hard studying and the victims of
the water pitcher are both under the
care of trained nurses. As for the man,
he gave up his place the next day and
confided to the cook that he was going
to look for job in a lunatic asylum,
where his boarding school experience
would be of value to him. New York
