The Philippine islands are far away.
and the people Of this country are very
busy, So busy are they that they are
not paying very close attention to what
Is going on in those Islands They
know there is a curious and unsatis-
FACTORY war in progress there but they
| are not concerning themselves much
about the details of it, They will, how
| ever, stop to think minute as they
read the news of the death of General
Iawton, who was killed while in front
of his troops at San Mateo, on the
| island of Luzon. He was one of the
best and bravest of our soldiers and
| 1T is strange and sad that after having
passed in safety through active and
gallant service in the civil war, in In
dian fighting and also in Cuba he
should have been fated to be slain by
little brown Filipino 'insurgent."
General Lawton was an officer of
great merit and experience. Starting
in the civil war in April, 1861, as a SER
geant he came out Of 1t in 1866 as a
brevet colonel. He entered the regular
army July %. 1885, as second leuten-
ant of the Forty-flrst Infantry, col
ored, and remained with that branch of
the army until January, 1871, when he
was transferred to the Fourth cavalry,
with which he remained until Septem-
Der, 1888, when he was appointed in
spector-general with the rank of major.
Later, he was promoted to the rank of
ieutenant-colonel, and held that rank
until the opening of the war with Spain,
when President Mckinley appointed
him brigadier-general of volunteers and
assigned him to the command of a di-
vision of the Fifth army corps On
July s. 1885, he was appointed major
general Of volunteers. Later he was
on duty in the inspector generals Of
flee, and then was sent to the Philip
pines, where he was made corps COM
mander. When the news of his death
reached Washington his commission as
a brigadier- general in the regular army
was being prepared.
The white mans burden is heavy
one, and when he stops to think of it
he feels its weight seriously.

UNCHANGED.

The Board of Councilmen met last
evening and though there was some talk
about forged signatures" the forger
was not unearthed, There was no talk
about the estimates, and so the esti-
mates stand as they were made by the
Board Of Finance. And the tax rate
will be 81 mills, The whole affair has
been interesting and important. 1T in
dicates that it will always be difficult
under our present form Of government
to change the decisions of the Board of
Finance, unless they are plainly and
radically wrong or unless politics hap
pens to be radically wrong.

rangement is especially good for wo-
men with uneven hair
She who doesn't like this arrangement
need not be discouraged because it has
stylish endorsement. Hair dressing
styles are far from arbitrary Pictured
here are three coiffures that were near
nelghbors at an ultra-stylish gathering.
They show how great Is the prevailing
license, In one the hair was waved all
around and drawn to a top knot held
by a jeweled pin. Another was the
Cleo de Merode fashion. The third was
the touselled curly pate that now has
many upholders The one absolute rule
is, do as you like so it becomes you.

FASHION NOTES.
STYLES Thpt May be Ignored.

Some stylish women part the hair In
the middle, others wear 1t without any
part, and, still others part it on the
side, not In a prim, careful part, but
one that looks as If the glossy locks
had fallen apart there. At one side of
the part the hair rolls gracefully high
and joins the top-knot. At the other
side the locks curve softly down almost
to the brow and then wave loosely back
to the temple. The best way to get the
careless effect Of the present pompadour
is to draw all the hair except nape-
fringe to the top of the head. Here,
having combed the side locks carefully
80 that they do not curve up too much,
the hair is braided tight and close to

A NO1EJ OCE STION.

What right has a business man to
Der? This interesting question has been
raised by Mr.. Galloway, a coal dealer
in New Orleans. There are two tele-
phone companies in New Orleans, and
Mr.. Galloway has been buying service
of both The number 343 he had from
the Cumberland company, and when
the Peoples telephone company came
into existence he made arrangements
so that his call on the Peoples line
should also be 343. Mr.. Galloway says
that he has used this number, 343, for
years to bring his business to the at
tention Of the public, He has put 1t in
his advertisements in the papers, post
ed 343 in large figures On billboards,
and the number is printed in the tele-
phone gudebook. He came to consider
that it was a part of his business. Mr..
C. A Andrews. Last month Mr.. An
drews resigned, going into business for
himself Mr.. Galloway discovered that
the Peoples company had given his
former manager the telephone call 343.
Mr. Galloway determined to take steps
at once to keep what he has come to
regard as valuable asset. He lost no
time in filing an application for all in
junction to prevent the Peoples tele-
phone company from giving Andrews
call S4S.
It will be interesting to see if a man
owns telephone number. man is
often owned by it.

An interesting contribution to what
may be called the law of delayed te1e-
grams has recently been made by the
Court of Appeals of Kansas, Northern
department, in the case of Mccall VS.
The Western Union Telegraph company.
Mccall, suffering from a sudden rupt-
ure telegraphed at eleven o'clock one
night for a doctor living in town
eleven miles distant. The message was
received at the doctors town at 11:05
the same night, but was not delivered
until seven o'clock the next morning.
Mccall suffered all night, and was OPP
Grated on in the morning. The COM
pany admitted it's negligence, but
claimed that Mccall could recover only
twenty-five cents, the cost Of the tele-
gram. The jury gave him $1,40O dam
ages for the operation necessitated by
the delay, his permanent disability, his
loss of time. and his intense suffering
for eight hours until the doctor ar
rived The Court of Appeals, in up
holding this verdict, called especial at
tention to the last item as an element
Of recovery.

The governor of South Carolina has
just issued a pardon to A. r. Fowler.
the "armless forger,' who is one of the
most conspicuous characters ever CON
fined in the State penitentiary. Fowler
Is graduate of theological seminary,
and after having spent several years as
the editor of religious paper at Clin
ton, S. c., he became a preacher. He
shot off one of his arms while hunting
in Georgia, collected considerable acct
dent insurance money, and then shot off
the other arm in the same way. The
insurance companies refused payment
on the second claim, but the case was
compromised. 1T developed later that
while he had one arm Fowler had
forged his brother-in-law's name for
$1,000, and he was sent to the peniten-
tiary. While there he learned to use
penfastened to the stump of his right
arm, and he has written history of
his life under the title From Pulpit to
Penitentiary." Now that he has been
pardoned Fowler hopes to regain the
confidence Of his flock and resume
preaching.

it impossible to see any separation of

DON'T TAKE IT TO HEART.

Don't take it to heart, little friend,
r When the world seems to use you unfair;
Just believe that the worst soon must
mend
That the dreariest road has an end;
And that some day full, measured share
Shall be given to you az your part,
So don't take it too much to heart.
Don't cry when endeaVor proves vain
To work out some sweet, kindly deed;
You may feel all the hurt and the pain
For the loss that was yours, but the gain
Was the trying to do, and the need
God will give unto you by and by,
So take heart of His love, and don't cry.
Don't take 1t to heart If your best
Is reckoned as Of not much worth;
A failure Is gain oft confessed,
And God sees it, blessing and blest,
AS a gracious, sweet gift to the earth;
Why seek for the worlds empty smile
God will make it all right in a while.
Don't cry when you see your years speed
AS a cloud-shadow under the sun,
And you stand as wind-brOken reed.
Weary, waiting, helpless, in need,
And the sands of your glass nearly run
God will call you up home by and by
Be patient, dear heart, and don't cry.
Take nothing to heart but the thought
That God knows us, and just as we are
That He misses no sheaf we have brought
That He knows all we have yearned for and
sought
That He judges all kindly and fair;
Don't fret, then, dear heart, neither cry
Gods kingdom will come by and by.

GOOD CRANBERRY CROP.
This Has Been an or Year, hut the
Yield Is COnsideraby Above
the Average.

"This seasons cranberry crop is esti-
mated to be $4,000 bushels, which is
about 225.0O0 bushels less than it was
last year," said leading wholesale
fruit merchant in New York the other
day. "Cranberries, like apples, yield an
abundant harvest every other year, and
while this is considered an off season
for the fruit the crop is larger by some
$4,000 bushels than the average annual
product. Moreover, the quality of the
fruit this year is exceptionally fine, and
as a result there is brisk demand
for it.
''The cranberry is a product of the
country's development, coming forward
in the last 50 years from a small. hard,
bitter berry to handsomely shaped
and good sized fruit. AS the quality has
improved the berries have increased in
popularity with consumers, until sup
plies are hardlysufficient to satisfy nor
NAL demands. Rhode Island was the
first state to apply scientific methods
to cultivation, and The system adopted
there has extended to other states,
notably Massachusetts, New Jersey and
Wisconsin, where the largest quanti-
ties of fine cranberries are now grown.
Most of the exports go to England,
to which country we ship between
5000 and 5000 bushels annually. In
packing for ocean transportation cram
berries are sent in barrels much strong
err than those in which the fruit is
shipped to domestic points. Many of
the invoices are made to titled people,
the most distinguished of whom is the
prince of Wales, who is so partial to
our cranberries that he buys from three
to four barrels every year."-Washing-
ton Star.

Wedding for ..OrfxsnaP- Folk.

For peculiar marriage customs the
Negritos cannot be beaten. The young
man who seeks a bride first obtains the
favor of her parents and then pursues
her, catching her in his arms. She
breaks loose and runs. and does not
yield until he has caught her several
times. Finally he leads her in triumph
to her home Here the father sirags
the youth up a ladder to the floor of
their hut. The mother drags up the
maiden. They are made to kneeI, and
the father pours over them a eocoanut-
shell full of water. He then bumps
their heads together and the ceremony
is completed. They spend their honey
moon in the depths of the mountains.
and for five days and nights are lost TO
sight, after which they come back to
everyday life. Then there is another
marriage custom. Instead of the you'll,
and maiden being dragged mp the hut
ladder. they are made TO climb two SAP
lings that grow near each other. Then
en- elder of the group grasps the sap
lings and draws them together until tine
heads of the young couple touch, with
a kiss or bump, according to the
force used. This makes them man and
wife.-N. y. Press.

phia. Philadelphia and Chester, which,
so far as ship building is concerned, arr.
practically one, are the birthplace of
iron and steel ship building on the At
lantic coast, and it might be expected
that frst-class historical material con-
corning the industry would be found
in abundance in the public library of
Philadelphia. When the card catalogue
was examined, says the Boston Tran
script, it was discovered that the only
books under the heading of ships or re-
lating to ship building were Miss Harra-
denis ''Ships That Pass in the Night"
and little volume on "Seaboard Life"
written for boys, by w. H. R;deing.
An appeal was made to the librarian in
charge of the reference room, which re-
suited in the ascertainment of few
initial and elementary facts from the
standard history of Philadelphia. OF
first hand material there was absolute
" none. Beyond what was contained in
the history of Philadelphia the library
afforded no information concerning
one of the oldest and most interesting
and now one of the largest industries
of the city.
