CHARACTER OF MALAYs.
An Omcer In Philippines Tells OF .
MurderOus Incident.


An officer in the United States army
now in the Philippines. writing 10 his
father in Washington, gives some in
teresting facts Illustrative of the char
acter of some of the natives, says the
Washington Post. In the course of his
letter he says:
The Malay character is hard to IN
derstand. They have been crushed and
maltreated for centuries and are not
used to just treatment All overtures
of peace and good will as well as talk
about pardon being granted on our part
are taken by them as an indication OF
weakness. The best educated among
them hardly know where America is,
and all talk to them about equality and
justice is time thrown away. All over
lures made to this people not accom-
panied with force are useless. 1t is on
ly ironclad justice for which they have
any respect.
Here is Il sample of the Malay char
acter. 1t may interest you: Four miles
north of this place, Namacpacan, there
is n town of about 5000 inhabitants
called Bangai. In November. when
General Young went north, the mayor
of the town was a man named Manuel
Bantista, who was in sympathy with
the insurrectos, and he took to the
hills. Captain - and myself were
ordered to Bangai in January TO super
intend an election by the people. At
that election Cipriano Garino was
elected president, or aIcalde. and Senior
Rio Lopez secretary of justice. Two
days after this election Manuel Bantis-
ia organized n band of bolomen, and at
midnight the new president and the
secretary of justice were taken out and
their threats cut.
These two murdered men married
sisters who were daughters of a
wealthy native named Antonio More
las. The gang, under Bantista. took
the old man Morelas and his servant
out and murdered them also. Morelas
was a first cousin of the leader of this
gang of murderers. The day after the
murders Manuel BantiSta and two of
his gang were captured, and these
three men have been in our guard
house ever since. There is no civil
court to try them, although there is
plenty of evidence to convict all three.
This is the kind of men who in large
numbers are standing out against the
authority of the United States and
looking for an opportunity from am
bush to waylay and murder our sol
diers."

LIFE SAVED BY WRESTLING.
How a Young Connecticut Farmer
HypnotiAed q swarm of Bees.

Henry Fitch, 4 young farmer OF
Mountain End, near Danbury. Conn,
has great reputation as a whistler,
and the amount of noise he can create
with his lips is astonishing. says the
New York World On a wager he
once made sound audible at farm
house mile and quarter away.
The other morning Fitch took a span
of oxen to draw a log from 4 fence
corner. There was loud buzzing above
his head, and an immense swarm of
bees settled on Mr.. Fitch and the oxen.
knowing the habits of bees and realiz-
ing that should they be angered he
and his oxen would probably be stung
to death, Mr.. Fitch refrained from
moving as much as possible and pre-
vented the oxen from switching their
tails by grasping hold of them.
Then Fitch began TO whistle. 1t is
well known that bees are fascinated hy
any shrill sound. Still whistling, Mr..
Fitch started the oxen home. Fitch's
mother was astonished at the strange
appearing objects. Running into the
house, she secured n large tin pan.
which she banged with all her strength
as she opened the sliding door of an
empty beehive. In moment the bees
rose in n crowd and settled on the
hive, which had been sweetened with
sugar and water the day before for the
reception of another swarm.

An Ear Test.

A novel and curious test for deafness
or approaching deafness has been de-
scribed by n Paris specialist. If the
handle of a vibrating tuning fork be
applied to the knee or other bony por-
ton of the human frame, the sound
cannot be heard by the person who
possesses an unimpaired ear. but If the
car be attacked by disease then the
note can be heard distinctly.

500 was imposed upon \. " Booth,
Of Chicago, under an Indictment charg-
ing him with unlawfully contracting in
writing with a commission company
for an option to buy 10000 bushels Of
corn at a future time. The court says:
The practice of gambling on the mar
ket prices OF grain and other commodi-
ties is universally recognized as j per-
niciOus evil. The evil does not consist
in contracts for the purchase or sale OF
grain TO be delivered in the future, in
which delivery and acceptance of the
grain is bona fide, but in contracts by
which the parties intend to secure not
the articles contracted for but the right
or privilege OF receiving the difference
between the contract price and the
market price of the article. This is
mere wager as to the future market
price"
