Filipino Brigands.

The numerous pessimists who are
predicting that it will take thousand
years or so for Uncle Sam to polish off
the brigands In the Philippines should
remember the Cuban precedent and
take courage. As in the Philippines,
so 1t was under Spanish rule in Cuba.
The wilderness was always full of
lurking robbers who were accustomed
to trap the unwary capitalist that ven
tured into their baliwicks and hold
him for ransom. 1t was predicted by
these pessimists when the Spaniards
turned over the island, that the hills
would be swarming with these brig
ands thicker than ever and that they
could never be dislodged.
But General Wood has made short
work of them. The last one known to
he at large was shot by the local police
the. .other day, and for the first time
in centuries Cuba is as safe as Mexico
and good deal safer than Missouri for
the travelling public.

has recently tested, with remarkable
results, method OF increasing the
efficiency of steam engines. which was
invented by two Germans some ten
years ago, but has only now been ef-
fectively applied. The principle de-
ponds upon the employment OF the
exhaust steam from an ordinary com
pound engine to evaporate another
LIQUID having lower boiling point
than water. The liquid used is sui
phurous acid. The heat OF the exhaust
steam is sufficient to liberate sulphur
dloxide gas. and this. passing into the
cylinder OF an auxiliary engine. acts

condensed and goes back to the vapor'

oped in the main engine about hall a

engine, without increasing the con

NJ Soldiers of this city, the Pennington
Chronicle says:
In opening he said he was especially
pleased TO see SO many young people
before him and to note this indication
OF their interest In our beloved country,
for to the young must we look for all
good things in the future of the nation.
Mr.. Seiders then recalled the progress
our nation had made in the century just
closing; the achievements Of science
and art; It's growth in population, in
territory, in means; what he had re-
ceived, what we shall transmit. Many
facts and figures set forth the marvellous
strides in every thing desirable America
has been making. We began with the
stage coach and we have the railway,
we received log cabins we shall bequeath
palaces. We received e, 000, 000, 900, we
shall leave $40, 900, 000, 900. We received
q Declaration Of Independence which
was O lie. We shall transmit a Deolara-
tlon Of Independence with the lie wiped
out-though 1t was wiped out in blood.
