A SCATTERING VOTE.
Republican Judge of Election Who
Knew a Joke WhenH
Saw II.

Down in Carroll county, Ind, is
township called Democrat-one of the
best in the Hoosier state, and there is
reason in the name. There are not
many republicans in Democrat town
ship. Formerly there were but ten
members of the &. o. p. in the whole re-
gion. That was just enough to COM
fortably fill the election boards, and so
in certain election one of the repub-
lican Judges counted up the voters of
his party in the precinct and then
counted the ballots and found there
were IL.
"How's this?" he demanded. There
is one vote too many.s
rs some one pretending that Demo-
crat township has Il republican votes?'
inquired a clerk.
Nothing less" was the republican
! judges reply. We'll. we ten must stand
together. This maverick vote goes I'M
| der the table"
And on the tally sheet he made the
entry: "One scattering"
1t is only when the parties are some
what evenly divided that neither side
can take joke.

can start that often. a company has
been formed to build these ships. 1t
has a capital of $300.000,000. which, of
course, is all that is necessary if ii is
raised. 1t is called the Transcontinen-

also the treasurer pro tenn. and di-
rector. 4. c. Fisk, S. b. Reed, Charles

Squire and Ambrose Sweeney appear
as the other officers.
Shares are to be sold at once to
build four airships to be completed in
time to take people to the Paris eX-
position, and to equip stations in the
capitals of Europe, the United States,
Asia and South Africa.
The slow speed of 100 miles an hour
will be maintained at first, uItil things
get in complete working order, when it
may be increased. People can go to

Mia giving him AS hours in which to
remove the women and children to n
place of safety outside of the city, but
as the Spanish commander rightly re-
piled that because of the presence of
the Filipino rebels all around the city,
and because of lack of ships, he could
not take advantage of the privilege

The battle opened with a cannonade
by the American fleet in heavy rain

short of the mark they were intended

That they may be more effe tive for
the service intended, the navy depart
ment proposes to arm the four yachts
which are to do service in Central
American waters in case of an emergen-
cy with formidable batteries.
The Dorothea will be the most heav-
lily armed. She will be supplied with
six-pounders and four Colt automatic
machine guns, a very heavy armament
for such a comparatively small craft.
The Frolic will be supplied with four
six-pounders and two Colts. The Hawk
will receive two siX-pounders and two
Colts, and the Viking will probably have
the same battery.
1t is proposed to keep these ships in
such a state of readiness that they can
be placed in commission within As

FIND HUGE BRONTOSAURUS
Scientists in Wyoming Dig Up Bone 8
of an Immense Dinosaur-
Their First Find.

The scientific expedition of the fossil
fields of Wyoming, consisting of 300
prominent university professors, has al
ready met with gratifying success in
the discovery of the bones of bronto-
saurus in Wyoming. This is huge
lizard genus of the American
dinosaur of the Jurassic period. 1t
lived, moved and had its being at an
age when the earth was very hot, when
the climate of Wyoming and the Lara
mic plains was similar to that of the
tropics and the vegetation resembled
the palms chiefly found in the torrid
zones of Asia and America. 1t Is
thought this bronto is one of the COM
panions of that at Yale discovered in
Wyoming and restored'in 1891 by Prof.
o. c. Marsh. If such is the fact this
great reptile must have been in life
more than 20 feet long and weighed up
ward of $4,000 pounds. One of these
monsters, whose remains have been
discovered in Wyoming, measured near
ly 100 feet in lergth and about IS feet
in height at the hips. Its skeleton
weighs more than 10000 pounds.

Smuggling still forms regular and

Spanish authorities the chief of the
Gibraltar police, accompanied by a ma

the Spanish militia, proceeded in a
launch to the back of the rock to search

of 70 feet from the sea, where they

ENGIaUD'S WOMEN.
The DiHcuIfy They Experience In
Obtaining Means of Earn
lag Living.

One fact which stood prominently
ont in the statements made at the an
nual meeting in London of the Society
Tor Promoting the Employment of
Women, because, perhaps, of the en-
phasis given it by the chairman, Sir
Owen Roberts, was that there were
100000 more women in this country
than men. says the London News. OBJ
viously, therefore, the difficulty of OBJ
tanning work for such Of them as had
of necessity TO earn their own living
was greater even than when males had
TO be dealt with. And this was increased
by the comparative difficulty hitherto
technical training for them. On this
point, however, Sir Owen Robert point
ed hopefully to the effort now being
made by the county council in estab-
fishing schools of domestic economy.
The chairman also pleaded for special
consideration for gentlewomen who
had reached middle life without having
acquired skill in work of a definite
kind, these being the saddest cases
that come under the notice of the
society Lady Knightley, of Fawsley
who moved the adoption of the report
which dealt with the work of the for
tieth year of the society, pointed out
that the market for women shorthand

wasted but little ammunition before
the correct range was secured. Then
they poured into the walls of the his
toric stone fort such shower of steel
that the place was soon untenable by
the Spanish garrison, and it was forced
to retreat towards the city. In this
part of the battle the guns of two Span
ish boats were. turned against the de-
tenders of the country that had built
them, the little gunboat Calloa and
the armed steam launch Barcelo. Both
of these vessels being light draft ran
close into shore and poured into the
fort raking fire from their small cal

m TGUST 10, 1895, VIII ever be
~ memorable day in the history OF
q Il the United States. Then II was
that the American fleet under the gal
liant Admiral Dewey, and American
soldiers under the leadership of Maj.
Gen. Merritt, wrested from the hands
of Spain the colonial city of Manila, ana
took from a proud and arrogant nation
for all time to come its greatest colo
NAL possessions.
Never before had American soldiers
fought for the principles 81 liberty SO
far from home as at this time, Dut
never did they fight with greater valor.
Much as America glories in the achieve
ments of her martial sons, she is far
too great a nation to be nncharitabie'
and to-day the nation that year ago
ploried in the success of her soldiers
so far from home willingly accords to
the rank and file of the vanquished
the honor of brave resistance.
1t was on August I that Admiral
Dewey and Gen. Merritt sent JOINT

was still floating, to replace ii with the
stars and stripes. Many Spanish OIL
GERS and a general crowd from the
streets stood around, and as he drew
near to the flagstaff he was Kissed by
the onlookers. When the orange and
red banner was actually replaced by
the American emblem many in the
crowd were crying. The symbol of
Spanish sovereignty, of Spanish bru-
tally, had disappeared forever. AS
Old Glory was run up to the top of the
tall flagstaff company of infantry
presented arms and a regimental band
played "The Star Spangled Banner"
Before night the Spanish sentinels
had been replaced by American sol
diers; guards were placed at all the city
gates and the armed rebels were not
permitted to enter the city in fear that
they might commit depredations
against the Spaniards. The American
troops took up their quarters in the
public buildings, on porches and even
in the streets. They had marched and
fought through terrible rain and in
tropical heat, and were tired out.
That evening the servants of Capt
Gen. August, who but short time be-
fore had issued proclamation bid
ding defiance to the Americans, served
dinner to Gen. Merritt, the other gen
eral officers of the American army and
their stats. in the town hall. and here
were stacked for time the captured
arms, ammunition and accoutrements
of war.
Gen. Merritt at once took charge of
the government OF the city, assigning
Gen. Anderson to command of the dis
trict of Cavite, Gen. Macarthur to COM
mand of the walled city of Manila and
finances in the capacity of treasurer
general
Before the short battle had ended
Capt. Gen. Augusti boarded the Ger
man cruiser Kaiser Augusta, lying in
the harbor at the time, and started i'm.
mediately for Hong Kong, leaving an
assistant TO turn over the city to the
Americans. In his own eyes his honor
was indicated by escaping the morti-
tication of surrendering TO what he
termed an unworthy foeman.
The important conditions embodied
in the terms of capitulation were as fol-
lows:
Surrender of the Philippine archi-
pelago; officers to be allowed to retain
their side arms and personal effects,
but not their horses; officers to be
prisoners of war on parole; the troops
to be prisoners of war and deposit their
arms al place appointed by Gen. Mer-
rift; all necessary supplies for their
maintenance to be provided from the
public treasury funds, and after they
are exhausted by the United States; all
public property 10 be surrendered; the
disposal of the troops 10 be negotiated
later on by the United States and Span
;sh governments: arms to be returned
TO the troops at Gen. Merritt's discre
ton.
During the fighting of the day five
Americans were killed and 43 wounded
The Spanish loss was never accurately
shown, but an English authority, whC
lived in Manila and had the best o.
facilities for ascertaining the correct
figures, reports that there were very
close to 1000 of the killed and mortal
~ wounded on the Spanish side.

intellectual pursuits, like the studies
of the scholarly professions, when
coupled with temperate and good moral
habits of life, brighten the. face and
give the person a refined and superior

may have face that does not please
