COSTLY SWORDS.
One Which Is Worth Over a Million

Of gorgeous swords which are not

cious stones, the most valuable in
England is said to be the one present.
ed by the Egyptians to Lord Wolse-
ley, and valued at 92, 900; but this sum
is comparatively little for a bejeweled
sword if the value of the sword
brought over TO Europe by the late
shah of Persia on his first visit
namely, f10,U0O-can be taken as a
standard for what diamondhilted
weapon ought to cost. Those who can
recall that wonderful saber will be
somewhat skeptical about the exist
ence of the Aikwar of Baroda's
gorgeous blade, which is supposed to
be worth more than 20 swords of
equal beauty and value to the shah's;
but it is popularly supposed that the
diamonds and rubies and emeralds
with which it is thickly incrusted
bring up its value to about 100000,
which, at four per cent, represents
an income Of almost $4,000 year,
and renders the possession of such a
sword something more than a mere
luxury.-Chambers' Journal

Out in big apartment house on Co
lumbia heights there dwells a young
married woman who is as naive as the
bride in the comic weeklies. The house
keepers who live in the same houst
with her have been somewhat annoyed
of late by mice. The young woman
met one of them in the hall the other
day, and the conversation naturally
turned on their common pests.
''The mice have been so bad lately"
said the elder woman, that | keep ev-
erything locked up and all my eatables
in the boxes"
The younger woman's eyes sparkled
with eagerness.
"Myr she said. 81 wouldn't dare do
that. | wouldn't want to run such a
risk. leave crackers and cheese lying
about every night when l go to bed so
that when the mice become hungry
they'll find something to eat and not
gnaw things I'm always afraid they'll
bite holes in my new tablecloths and
my nice centerpieces if l don't leave
the cheese right where they can find il
easily. | feel perfectly safe when
know there's plenty for them to eat
right where they can get at it,"
There's nothing after all like having
a clever idea like that now and then

Slaughter Of the Savages by Our

As the Bolomen Are Unable to Get

Jury-Gen. Bells Warning TO the
Rebels Against Guerrilla Warfare.
Manila, April 26.-Officers who have
arrived here from Neuva Caceras,
province Of South Camarines, bring de-
tails of a fight April is in which 80
Filipinos were killed. The American
outposts reported 300 natives assem-
bled three miles from the town, and
Gen. Bell sent three detachments of
the Forty-fifth regiment, with two
Maxims, who nearly surrounded the
Filipinos, the majority of whom were
armed with bolos and wore carabao
hide helmets. coats and shields. The
Filipinos were quickly put to flight,
leaving the field strewn with armor
Their riflemen were unable to shoot
straight, and the bolomen never got
near enough to the Americans to do
any execution. Therefore none of the
Americans were wounded.
Lieut.. Balch, with 20 cavalrymen
from the Thirty-seventh regiment,
eornered so bolomen in a river and
shot every one, the bodies floating
away. One soldier had his head struck
off with bolo.
Gen. Bells two regiments are hard
worked in clearing the country They
fought with small squads of bolomen
last week killed a total of 125. A
squadron of the Eleventh cavalry is
about leaving Manila on board the
transport Lennox, to reinforce them.
The insurgents keep the province in
a state of terror and are wreahing ven
geance on natives who trade with the
Americans, burning many villages, in
Guiding the populous town of San
Fernando. Gen. Bell has issued a
proclamation declaring that he will
retaliate relentlessly unless this guer-
rilla war ceases, and that he will burn
all the towns which harbor guerrillas.
In fight at Sorgogon, Albay prov
ince, on April 10, three companies of
the Forty-seventh infantry, Capt. Cor
don commanding, routed a large force
of insurgents, mostly bolomen, killing

of secretary of agriculture, industry

coste. In his first reply Senior Lacoste
said that he was unable to accept and
had even determined to withdraw his
name as candidate for the mayoralty,
assigning as his reasons the necessity
of devoting his personal attention to
his plantations and the time occupied
in the discharge of his duties as presi-
dent of the Planters association. In
response to another letter urging his
acceptance Senior L4acoste asked to be
given until this evening before making

Harvard's New Track Wonder.

A freshman at Harvard university,
In Cambridge. j. e. Haigh, recently
ran 800 yards in the extremely fast
time of % seconds. There was a strong
wind at his back, but at that the per-
Torrance stamps him a coming man,
says the New York Sun. Trainer
Lathrop did the timing. Haigh also
did 100 yards in 10b seconds under
much the same conditions the other
day, but it was ascribed to a mistake
of some kind. His recent performance
stamps Haigh as the real thing. If he
can maintain anything like his present
form, he will pull Harvard out of alb
solute disgrace ia the Yale games, as
Sprague, the st. Paul's school phenom,
has proved an utter failure. Haigh
did no running before entering Har-
Yard. He came out in the fall for the
quarter mile, but did not do anything
even noteworthy. Later he made the
freshman relay team and was thought
to have quite little speed. He is a
modest fellow and has nothing of the
appearance of record smasher. He
is a student of very high standing.

PNEUMATIC TUBE MAIL SERVICE.
Scandal Unearthed by Mr.. Moody
Knocks Out the Appropriations.

knocks Out the Appropriations.
Washington, April 26.-The house
yesterday put its heel upon the pneu-
matte mail tube service now in oper-
alton in New York, Boston and Phila-
delphia, and if it's action stands the
whole service will be crushed out. The
postoffice committee had recommend
ed an increase of the appropriation for
this service from $225,000 to $725,000.
The proposed increase was attacked by
the appropriations committee under
the leadership of Mr. Moody (Mass.) !,
with such vigor and success that in
the end the house voted 81 to so to
strike the entire appropriation from
the BILL Mr. Moody created a sensa-
tion by the manner in which he as
sailed the methods of the Pneumatic
Tube company and the direct charge
that a former member of congress who
was a member of the appropriations
committee had been a holder of the
stock and bonds of the company. He
declined to disclose the gentleman's
name. He added to the scandal by
charging that block of stock had
been sent as a New Years gift to a
near relative of another member of
congress, but to the credit of the MEM
Der. he said. the dishonoring gift had
been returned to the sender by the
next mail. Although the tube service
was highly commended by other mem
bers these revelations transformed the
sentiment of the house. which has sew
erai times voted for the service, into
a decisive majority against its con-
tinuation in any form.
