of the boldest and most daring robberies
in the annals of San Francisco was
committed to-day in front of Wells,
Fargo & Co.'S express office on Second

gold coin was stolen from the seat of an
express wagon belonging to Joseph n.

gagged in conversation by stranger.
Waters was carrying the coin from

at Chinese Camp, Cal. The person who
accosted Waters asked him the location
of the Grand Hotel. Waters was tying
his horse at the time, but gave the de-
sired information. On turning to his
wagon he saw that the money had been
| taken.
| Waters has been engaged in carrying
the coin for the Anglo California ard
other large banking concerns for more
than thirty years, and no suspicion at

TO THE BITTER END.
War Will be Pushed Until AL
Recognize This Government

WASHINGTON, March 31-At I:5o
this morning Adjutant General Cofpih
received official confirmation OF the
capture of Malolos from General OTIS
Although the President had retired
the good news was communicated ne
expressed his qualification and returned
to his bed chamber, probably thinking
of the reward he will give the brave SOL
diers at Manila who again have won
distinction for themselves and their
country.
The outcome of the battle at Malolos,
it is believed, has broken the backbone
of the revolution, and many of the
rebels who have not been captured will
lay down their arms
The President is particularly pleased
with the manner in which the Ameri-
cans have swept on resistlessly, sur
mounting irinumerable obstacles with
out faltering.
General Corbin does not believe Agui
naldo and his followers who escaped
will engage in guerrilla warfare They
have fought like veterans, and he says
it is not one of the characteristics OF a
brave soldier to engage in bushwhack-
ing He knows when he is whipped and
is willing to abide by the result
Other officers do not agree with Cen
eral Corbin, and they say Aguinaldo
will never surrender but will fight to
the bitter end, which means extermina-
ton. Those who take this view say if
Aguinaldo decides to continue the un-
equal and disastrous conflict, it will be
only a question of a short time when
he will be killed or i'm the hands of the
American forces.
Officials and army officers here say
the war will be pursued to the bitter
end, and until the authority of this
Government is recognized by the

Brush Your Hair the Wrong Way.

Have YOU ever tried brushing your
! hair the wrong way? I know a little
woman whose hair had long been thin
and scraggy She was in despair, hay-
ine. used a host of different tonics with
out benefit, when a French maid sug-
gested brushing the hair the wrong
way, assuring her mistress that in Paris
this was a favorite way of grooming
the hair. The American woman de-
cided to try the experiment. Her maid
carefully divided the hair into many
small parts, and them with a huge and
very stiff brush, began her work. Hold
ing the extreme end of the strand to pc
brushed in her left hand, she started az
the bottom Of it and brushed upward
toward the head. After each strand
had gone through the process the maid
slnoothed each hair back to its original
position. Now the woman brushes her
hair in this manner each night ana
morning. She declares 1t has proved
more beneficial than an expensive tonic

"The White Mans Burden -

read Rudyard Kipling's latest poem 1t
! is nothing less than an inspired utter
ance, as noble in thought and as vigor-
| Gus in expression as any short poem
| this generation has known or is likely
to know. 1t has, we venture to believe,
given the people of the United States a
vision of their national duty more vivid
| and adequate than they have gained
! from the hundreds of speeches and
thousands of articles upon Imperialism
of the last twelve months.
Mr. Kipling has been called "the
Laureate of Imperialism" He is much
more than that. In fifty six Short lines
he has sounded a clear and convincing
call to the Nation to accept and dis
charge the divine dignity and duty of
| burden -bearing-of sacrifice and serv-
| ice The verses breathe a religious
/ spirit Of the loftiest and most virile

words of ST. Paul, Il have showed you
II. how that SO labouring ye ought

| one another's burdens There is no
glorif1cation of mere national aggran-
dizenent, no. call to- build up an empire
of conquered peoples. Its keynotes are

very first lines make a heavy demand
upon the center and citadel of our ma
tional life:
Take up the White Mans burden
Send forth the best We breed
Go bind your sons to exile
To serve Your captiveS need.
| Our best are to be the servants of the
oppressed and uncivilized. Our Deweys
and our Hobsons and our Woods are
to win renown for themselves and for
us not so much by valor on the sea
and in the field as by the stern disci-
lpline of mercy. They are to learn that
Infinitely harder lesson of conducting
The savage wars of peace
Fill full the mouth of Famine,
And bid the sickness cease,
as they have been doing In Cuba and
Porto Rico and will soon be doing in
the Philippines. For their sway and
ours is to be
No iron rule of kings,
But toll of serf and sweeper
The tale of common things.
And that toll is to be rendered with
infinite compassion and patience. For
while we steadfastly endeavor
By open speech and simple,
An hundred times made plain,
To seek another's profit
And work another's gain,
we shall know to the full the bitter
ness of having the most unselfish and
merciful plans thwarted.
And when your goal is nearest

Watch sloth and heather folly
Bring all your hope to naught.
But keen though the pain may be and
bitter the disappointment, the demand
comes again:
Take up the White Mans burden

Nor call too loud on Freedom
TO clol<e your WEAKNESS.
And then to help US bravely bear both
and WEAKNESS comes
