ed with Syyindling Church People.
Winchester, Va, July IA young Syr-
ian named Michael Shadid is under arrest
here on the charge of swindling. The
warrant was sworn out by Rev. DR.. Henry
NJ. White, pastor of Loudoun Street Pres
byterian Church, on Saturday night, and
the young foreigner was arrested by Chief
Seabright and lodged in Jail. Yesterday
he was released on bail for trial.
Shadid, several days ago, called upon
DR.. White and, exhibiting letters of intro
duction from prominent Presbyterian di-
vines all over the country, stated that he
desired to complete his education for mis-
sionary at Princeton Theological Seminary,
aid during the summer was selling Syrian
trinkets to pay the expenses of tuition. As
DR.. White was familiar with the hand
writing of some of the divines who had
given Shadid letters of introduction. he
readily recommended him to his congre
cation.
The young man was reaping an abun
dant financial harvest until he sold 25-
cent glass pin for $3.50 to a lady on the
strength of DR.. Whites letter. She COM
planned to him and then many other COM
plants began to be received where worth
less jewelry had been represented as genu-
inc and high prices obtained. DR.. White
then swore out the warrant charging the
Syrian with swindling and with selling
goods without license. Shadid says he
is native of Beyrout, Syria. and attended
the Bliss Protestant English Mission
School there. and in proof of it exhibits
letters from Missionary Bliss stating that
he was studying there for missionary

PICNICKERs IN A FIGHT.
Stranded Overnight and Made Vie
Tins to ExtortiOnists

Tins to ExtortiOnists.
New York, July 4.-Three thousand of
10000 persons who went on Social Labor
Union picnic to lakewood, on Long Island
Sound, Saturday were by some misunder-
standing left behind when the last boat re-
turned to the city. and forced to stay over
night at the resort, with scant accommo
dations and little food.
The excursion was such a big one that
the steamboats, Colchester and Bay Queen
were unable to bring back at night the
persons they had carried out during the
day. The barge Susquehanna was sent to
the resort with the idea of having it towed
back by one of the steamboats,, but the
captains both refused on the ground that
it was unsafe. They left the resort with
heavy loads and did not return.
The excursionists say that a guard was
put over the wells in the grove, and that
glass Of water cost 5 cents, sandwiches
% and 80 cents, coffee 25 cents, crackers )
cents each and half glasses of milk 10
cents. They say that farmers came in
with peaches and plums, for which they
charged 10 cents each, and other kinds of
food, which they sold at extortionate
rates.
Prices for any kinds of fluids advanced
until bottle of ordinary pop" found
ready purchasers at the rate of 40 cents a
bottle.
A man in a sailboat sold dozen loayes
of bread at cents a slice, money in ad
vance. The last loaf was auctioned of.
1t brought so.
Relief came yesterday afternoon, when
two tugs went out and towed back the
barge. Hundreds had already gotten back
TO the city by walking to Great Neck and
Fort Washington to take trains.
The excursion company says it was the
picnickers fault in not returning on the
early trips of the steamboats,. Many suits
for damages are expected.

here Nine-tenths of the lead pencils

there. There are a number of cedars
throughout the world, but the Florida
cedar is particularly valuable in the
manufacture Of lead pencils. It is of a
fine structure, the grain being hardly
tistinguishable, and can be worked up
to the last inch. In the various grades
of the cheaper pencils other cedars can
be used, but for the finer goods the
American cedar is exclusively used.
For all practical purposes all the pen
ellis used in Europe are manufactured
OF Florida cedar. Much of the lead,
Plumbago and graphite which is used
in them also comes from this country.
There are number of woods in Europe
that are used in the manufacture of
matches, but the American pines are
gradually wedding them all out, for the
reason that the American pines can be
| handled and worked at less expense
than any other woods. The amount of
wood consumed in matches amounts to
two or three forests of trees a day, but
even with this consumption hardly any
inroad has been made, for the growth
more than keeps up the supply. The

Pecu1iaritfes of Ffltnfno.

The Filipino is artistic and his cloth
ing is clean-two tremendous strides
toward civilization. The men do clever
work in wool, silver, and brass. Their
old war-knives are highly embellished.
Their pottery is often picturesque and
the clothing of the women, made of the
indigenous fiber that abounds through
out the islands, is picturesque, and has
jaunty, attractive style, which their
straight forms and exposed shoulders
carry off we'll. The fiber is often woven
as finely as silk, and some of the drawn
work of the Filipino lace makers is
most exquisite and expensive. I have
seen single handkerchiefs which could
not be purchased under $500. The Fill
pinos love jewelry, and some of the
crude settings contain magnificent
pearls, found along the shores of the
islands. The women, as class, are at
tractive - many are really pretty.
While eschewing shoes, gloves, and
hats, they often wear dresses of the
finest texture, beautifully embroidered,
and made with flowing train. Both
sexes love music; and the Filipino music
is not the wild banging of tom-toms
and the beating of cymbalsand drum
nor is it the squeak of the two-stringed
violin and the pounding. of sticks
attune, as, with. the Chinese and ,Japa-
nese; but it has melody and ali, for the
Tagal plays all the instruments of the
European, and outplays him on many.

SURRENDER OF SANTIAGO.
Gen. Skaters Description Of the
Close of the Campaign in
Eastern Cuba,

AS witnesses of the ceremony of sur
render, took the general officers with
their stats, and a guard of 100 men.
Gen. Toral brought out with him his
general officers and staffs and body of
| troops of the same number. Gen. Lud-
low had given me the sword and spurs
taken from the body of Gen. Vara del
Rey, who had been killed in the defense
OF FL Caney, and requested me to give
them to Gen: Toral. During the inter-
view prior to the declaration of sur
render handed Gen. Toral the sword.
informing him of the circumstances
and the request from the officer who
had secured it that it be taken back by
zen. del Rey's companions to his home
in Spain, and given to his family. The
| presentation of these articles was en-
tirely unexpected by Gen. Toral, and as
spoke in English it was not until the
translation was completed that he fully
realized what I was doing. He then
showed great deal of feeling; in fact,
he could hardly. speak, as his emotions
nearly overpowered him. He received
the sword and spurs and handed them
| to one OF his staff, all of whom were
equally surprised and gratifed.
Gen. Toral then made the formal
| declaration of the surrender. He placed
| himself in front of the hundred men
that he had been permitted to bring
out to represent the Spanish army,
with his officers near him. Our detach-
.ment was drawn up in lines fronting
them. Advancing to the front of the
center of his troops, he drew his sword
and presented arms, and said: Isur-
render the Spanish troops under nv
command, and this place." Twas about
20 feet in front of and facing him, and
causing my command to present arms,
replied that I accepted his surrender
in behalf of the government of the
United States.
This completed the ceremony of the
surrender so far as the troops were
concerned.-Gen. William r. Shafter,
in Century. s..

As it was an English ship and butter was
not served at any of the meals, some Ameri-
cans who were neighbors were delighted to
see that the hor d'oeuvre had at last place

At dinner they were surprised to see little
sticks stuck in the middle of the mound of
butter with a pasteborad card attached.
The card read:

taken.-N. Y. Journal.
