MANILA, July 10, s Il. NIT has been

rounded by water. The bridges that
were used for getting supplies have
been washed away and some of the
companies are separated by streams six
feet deep In many. cases the men are
sleeping with three feet of water be-
meath their bunks, which are elevated
on cracker boxes. The company cooks,
when preparing the meals, stand knee

phan by education for the noble duties OF
citizenship. Let each put his shoulder to

of past success, be inspired to renewed
efforts and by our individual labor ac-
conlplish a part in this great work for
the uplifting Of mankind.-In Independent

A person taking a withdrawal card

life of the card.
The following number of inmates in the

PENNSYLVANIA is reported: Philadelphia,

The duty of a lodge like that of the
state is to protect the. many rather than
the one, and no one member should de-
mand that the welfare of the lodge be
sacrificed for his desire or benefit.
Three new subordinate and IL new Re

there is no poor Odd Fellowship.

Of duty is by the golden rule.

MAGNETIC
MARVELS
Are Daily Being Accomplish
ed at the Hotel Buchtel
By the Boy Phenomenon, Who Has
Again Been Compelled to Ex-
tend His Stay Two Weeks
Longer.

The wonderful and beneficial ad-
vance in treating chronic diseases by
the wonderful power of vital magne-
tism las carried joy and gladness to
the hearts and homes of thousands
of suffering people who could no.
where else or by any other method
find relief. No power given to man
is so little understood or so beneficial
to the human family as the magnetic
power to cure disease. Cases of
years standing, which have been
pronounced incurable, are daily be-
ing restored to health by this mys-
terious agent. Many of the worst
cases cured without medicine simply
b. app. ing the hands to the affiict-
ed parts and driving from the human
frame by means OF this great mag
netic power the pain and suffering of
years.
One of the many phenomenal cures
performed since his advent in this
city is that of Mrs. Capt. Henry Ros-
sitter, of East Akron. While the
rankest skeptic three weeks ago, she
today is a firm believer in the power
of magnetism. For ten years she
suffered with chronic ovarian trouble,
stomach disorder and spinal weak
ness, which caused incipient lOcomo-
tor ataXia, so that it was with the
greatest eXertion she could stand the
drive in her carriage to the Buchtel
hotel, and then had to be carried
from her carriage to the treatment
rooms. She was almost ON the brink
of the grave, without hope and fast
failing. Magnetism worked wonders
in her case, in three treatments she
was able to walk up and down stairs
without assistance. The glow of
health is fast returning to her cheeks
and she has gained nine pounds in
two weeks. Hope has returned, and
life once more is worth living. Words
cannot express her or her husbands
gratitude for her marvellous restora-
tion.
Such are only sample of the cures
every day performed at the Buchtel
hotel. 1t is because the public have
learned the cures are permanent,
that he has been compelled to eX-
tend his visit in Akron two weeks
longer, but no new cases will be tax

Roosevelt of New York, who came to
Washington, Saturday, for confer
ence with the president at the latter S
invitation, returned to New York sun:
day morning.
The conference was wholly on the
organization of ten new regiments OF
volunteers. The president asked the
governor particularly as to his opinion
on the officers who. were to fill the lead
ing posts. After a general considera-
ton of the matter at the afternoon coll
ference the discussion was resumed in
the evening. The names Of nearly 100
men were taken up and considered with
great care. Later the governor said
the president unquestionably desired to
make all appointments strictly OH their
merits, though the governor did not as
sert that the appointments would be
made regardless Of appeals from those
interested after his departure.
Secretary Alger was not invited to
the conference.

PARTY DEGENERAcY.

= In recent speech Mr.. Bryan said
that he could not denounce imperial
ism more vigorously than the Re
publican party had in its platform of
1855, which contained the following:
The maintenance of the principle
promulgated in the Declaration of
Independence and embodied in the
Federal Constitution is essential to
the preservation of our republican in
stitutions. The highwayman's plea
that might makes right is in every
respect unworthy of American di-
plomacy, and would bring shame and
dishonor upon any government or
people that gave it their, sanction.
There is difference between the
Republican party of 1856, which
fought to free the blacks, and the
Republican party of 1899, which is
fighting to enslave the Filipinos-a
great difference.
The one was represented by Lin
coin and the other is represented by
Hanna.

There are some Knights Templars who

Indian Currency Commission Didn't Favor
Reverting to Silver.
LONDON, July I0.-The report of the
parliamentary committee on Indian cur
rency, issued i'll the form of Il blue book,
approved the decision of the government
not to revert to a silver standard. 1t
argued that it would be impossible to
maintain the status quo permanently,
and therefore recommended that meas
ures be taken to introduce gold stand
ard, with the British sovereign as legal
tender, and advised that the Indian
mlnts be allowed TO coin gold without
restrictions on the same terms as the
Australian mints.
Finally, by majority of votes, the
committee recommended fixing the
rupee rate at l6 pence.
The report said i'll conclusions: "The
effective establishment OF a gold stand
ard is of paramount importance to the
material interests of India, not only to
promote existing trade, but to encour-
age the influx of capital
