CAPTURED AFILIPINO IDOL
[From the New York Journal

[FrOm the New York Journal
To be cast down from the highest pin
nacle of an altar in pagan temple to
position alongside a cork leg and a pair
of steel limb braces in a Sixth avenue
shop window is a fall of ma gnitude for
even lowly mankind, to say nothing of
an Oriental god. But that is the fate
that has befallen giIded god of the
Filipinos. 1t arrived this week direct
from Manila, when it was exported by
George Kramer, an unfee1nS, 1mpiOuS
private in the Twentieth Kansas vol
unteers. who sent it to his cousin.
Charles Schliefarth.
The idol was captured by a squad from
a company of that regiment that had
been quartered in an old Tagalo church
near Pasig prior to the recent forward
movement of the troops. Although
general order had been given against
lOOting, the boys decided the god was
not loot, SO they packed him in
meat sack and put him in the bottom
of q cOmmiSSary wagon. AS result of
a cast of lots or shake of dice, the idol
became the property of Kramer, who
boxed it up and shipped it to the United
States.
This idol is a fantasticaI carved block
of wood. It's eyes are small and squint.
The mouth is large and the nose fiat
and prominent. It's two hands, with
palms outward, are raised to the height
of the shoulders, as If repelling a foe.
The feet are small and turn outward.
On its head is "a turban resembling
the head-dress of the Ahkoond of Swat,
III MANY IOluS, dSceIlulIiS 70 d pOlIll, anu
thickly studded with glass of many col
ors. Its carved dress represents the reg
ular Oriental style of clothing. long
tunic, belted at the waist, falls to be-
low the knees of the figure. This is ar
tistically engraved and studded with
glass prisms of varied hue. The feet
rest upon sandals which, too, are glass
encrusted. Four rows of glass beads
hang about the neck, and the girdle
about the waist is like the modern jew
eled StOmacher.
The idol represents a Tagalog myth
or legend. In the dim past it was adopt
ed as the image of the supreme leader
of the Tagalos, and from that date to
the present time the TagalOs are wont
to bow down before similar idols and
request favors.
The idol will be valuable relic of the
fast fading Tagalog power in the Phil

nothing left for him but to obey the or
ders With the inspector matters are
somewhat different. He is required to
inspect all grain coming in or going out
of the city.
F. w. F'rasius, the Populist inspector,
was ordered last night by Mr.. Evan
to cease his inspections there but the
order was rescinded today and F'rasius
pany.
1t was supposed when the grain in
spection law was passed that the grain
inspectors would not be selected by the
grain men. They were to be named to
stand between the -armer and dealer
to prevent the dealer from placing lower
grades on grain than the product was
entitled to. 1t has been the custom to
give attention to the grain men in nam
ing inspectors but Governor Stanley
evidently accepts the law as the makers
intended it should be applied. The gov
ernor has the safe end of the contro-
VerSV.

GOVERNOR IS ANGRY.
Like Other People He Is Tired
of Agricultural College
FiaScO.

The adjournment of the legislative
committee conducting the investigation
of the agricultural college regents last
Saturday until tomorrow afternoon
made Governor Stanley mad, and he
last night threatened, in fact said, he
would pay the members for no further
services.
This committee should have finished
it's work before going home" the gov
ernor said last night. Private business
should not take the members of this
committee away from their duties"
This last remark is quoted as coming
from the governor by the man to whom
he was addressing his complaints.
The committee which was appointed
by the governor, lieutenant governor
and speaker of the house must look to
the governor for pay, the funds being
drawn from the executive office contin-
gent fund. Although there is less than
81, 900 in this fund, the committee and
officers of the committee hope to get
full pay for the time they have spent
conducting this examination.
Syl Dixon of Argonia is sergeant-at-
arms for the committee. The story told
of a meeting between Mr.. Dixon and
the governor last night follows. The
two men met and the governor said:
What are you doing here?'
tI am going to Manhattan tomorrow
for the investigation, which will be re-
sumed.''
when did the committee adjourn
to?" asked the governor with consid-
cradle emphasis.
Until Wednesday," said Dixon meek
ly.
What did they adjourn for?'
Dixon then explained that one of the
members had to go home to defend him
| self in civil case in court; the others
on business of various kinds.
These things should not interfere
! with the work of that Committee. That
| investigation should have been COM
| pleted before any adjournment was
| TAKEN
Dixon wanted to tell the governor that
| the committee went home without CON
| sulting the sergeant -at-arms, but did
| not get an opportunity before the gov
ernor exclaimed:
Il warn you now that the committee
| will get no money for additional work
| which may be done. The investigation
! should have been completed and the
| findings of the committee made before
an adjournment. The committee will be
| paid for the work already done, but
| that's ALL
