muTrNv IN A PRISON.
FiIfpinos Make AN Attack on Amcri-
ecan Guards.


Manila newspapers received at the
War Department give details of a des-
perate mntiny among the native prison
ers in Bilibid prison, which resulted in
the death of four and the wounding Of
fifteen of them. The report states that
the outbreak came without the slightest
warning
The commandment and other officials OF
the prison were going about their duties.
on July 16 last, when a Filipino, serving
life terns assumed crouehing atti-
tude and began TO creep up behind the
native foreman, giving utterance to a low
grewl lie q wild beast. The effect was
electrified on the other convicts. In an.
instant the muttrring had grown to a
wild roar, and every prisoner was MAX
ing for the keepers with murder in his
eye.
The senior captain of the native guard,
when he commanded the little mob to
dispense, was slashed across the back of
the head with bolo. Then the infuri-
ated men started for the gateway of the
prison TO oyerpower the guard and es-
cape. They were met by Maj. Rogers,
the commandment, and a small portion of
the guard, who fired voliey into the
ranks of the mutineerS.
Three men fell, and this seemed to
check the prisoners for an instant, but
their leader, Filipino of the most des-
perate type, urged them on Though al
ready wounded by the first fire, his spirit
was unbroken, and four times the rifles
spoke before he fell Then. like rats
in trap, the prisoners tried first one
gateway and then another, and probably
would have oyerpowered the small guard
and made their escape had not American
prisoners themselves come to the rescue
and helped to capture the fUgitIyes. A
few more volleys from their REINFORCED
pursuers, and the prisoners scurried to
their quarters in abject terror
The following cable dispatch has been
RECEIVED at the War Department from
Gen. Macarthur:

thought thrilled her.
Tonight Giles Ferguson would come
for his answer!
A sharp sense of repulsion over
whelmed her. She could not marry
him! She would not. She bathed,
coiled her dark hair afresh, went down
to dinner in a gown of rosy lawn. At
s o'clock the hopeful sutton made his
appearance. He wore a brand-new
suit, and was apparently prepared for
conquest. He and Bessinger talked.
At 10 Barbara was to give her final de-
cision. She watched the clock in an
agony of nervousness. Half-past 81!
The hands were moving around the dial
with appalling speed. Nine! She did
not know the bell had rung-that Wis
itor was shown in. He was young, tall,
good-looking. With start she recog-
nized the agile captor of her veil.
"The small gentleman is Mr.. Fergu-

The stranger walked straight up to
Barbara's sutton.
How do you do, father?" he said.

take down the message as easily as if
you We're debating to him in small
room.
In appearance the machine is merely
an ordinary photograph, with a large
trumpet measuring four feet in length.
Inside this trumpet there is small and
delicate piece of mechanism that looks
something like a whistle. This is the
tongue Of the machine.
Instead of the records being taken
on wax in the usual manner sapphire
needle is made to cut the dots repre-
senting the sound vibrations on a silver
cylinder, and when the needle travels
over the metal a second time the vibra-
tons cause the whistle to produce a
series of air waves, and the machine
thus becomes a talking siren which
transforms the human voice into a
deafening roar
The experiments were made near the
Devils dyke, Brighton, where the in
ventor had his workshops. The instru-
ment was placed on the roof Of the la
boratory and was made to repeat a
number of sentences. At distance of
ten miles the sounds were plainly heard
by large number of people. every
word being perfecfl- distinct, and at a
second trial with a favorable wind it
was found that an unknown message
could be taken down in shorthand at a
distance of twelve miles. Over the wa
ter the sounds will carry still further,
and under favorable circumstances
they might easily be heard by persons
on vessel fifteen miles out at sea.

or gasped Ferguson, senior. This
gave matters a new aspect. But-there
was Barbara. The clock struck 10.
Barbara" said Bessinger, rising,
you agreed to tell Giles Ferguson at
this hour whether or not you would
marry him"
White as a, lily Barbara came for
ward. The young fellow stared in de-
lighted surprise, as turning, he faced
her.
"Never! You would not wish me
now. papa, to do so. He has deceived
me. At any rate, could never love
him" Then she bowed slightly and
took herself and her peach-bloom gown
from the room.
But soon Barbara learned how easy
it was to surrender ones whole heart
when the one destined lover came. Out
of confidential talks grew reconcilia-
ton between father and son. The
former came to the wedding.

One day last week the wind blew
pretty hard; its velocity varied from,
say about fifty to 500 miles an hour.
While it was whistling down CONNER
cial avenue vt a record breaking gait
a pedestrian was trying to make the
corner of Main. With head down he
pushed vigorously against the breeze.
All at once he threw UP his hands and
grabbed the top of his head, but his
hat wasn't there. He tried to look
back to see if he could trace the out
lines of a hat sailing eastward, but the
effort was too much. He hove to and
brought up alongside convenient DOOR

New York-Aside from the natural
hesitation induced by the political cam
paign, general trade conditions are all
that could be reasonably expected. There
has been some improvement in the last
few weeks Many of the closest students.
Of the situation were a short time ago
inclined to believe that the fiscal year
which ended June 80 last, had probably
seen the eliminating point Of the present
onward movement of general trade, but
if the showing which has been made by
the first two months of tie current year
counts for anything, there is reason 20
believe that even the Extraordinary rec
ord of 1S99-1900 is lb5ut to be eclipsed-
The stock markets have been somewhat
more active this week, nut otherwise the
speculative situation has shown little
change. The market is still under the
control of professionals. and promises to
continue so for a few weeks to come.
Chicago Speculation in wheat has
been of moderate dimensions since
week ago. The market began with a de-
elining tendency. and, continuing to dis
play preference for lower prices, clos
ed Saturday at decline Of nearly
cents a bushel as compared with its
value the close of the previous week.
Heavy stocks in sight, and a rate Of de
hyeries from farmers greater than cur
rent requirements We're the prime rea-
sons for the loss in value. The demand
from abroad was on liberal scale but
not sufficiently so to overcome the effect
of the large receipts. There are several
points in the present situation. as it is
understood by a considerable number of
the most experienced traders in the mar
ket, that are expected to develop condi.
tons az great strength. So far the cor.
rectness of the theories Hpon which such
expectations are based have lacked the
confirmation of developed fact, and the
followers of those holding the opinions OF
crop shortage are DESERVING gradually TO
the other side. As a result the burden
of holding up the market has been left
to a comparatively few and has become
all the more onerous on that account.
The question of 500 0,000-hushel
crop, or one Of 550, 700, 0G0 bushels is still
open and likely to remain unsettled for
some time longer, with the rate of re-
ceipts meantime telling in favor of those
holding the more liberal estimate Of the
years production.
The fine promise of the growing crop
of corn and the likelihood Of its being fit
for use at an earlier date than usual has
weakened the position Of the bulls who
have been expecting something in the ma
ture of squeeze to develop naturally
from scarcity of old corn before the new
would be in condition for shipment. In
the circumstances the market has been
found by the bulls rather difficult 10 sup
port. even for ehis and the following
months deliveries, Notwithstanding the
most patient and persistent efforts, the
prices of September and October corn
were both somewhat lower Saturday
than was the case week ago.

newed popularity. There are some varia-
tons on the jacket, few of them remi-
niscent of the belted blouse. Belt. collar
and cuffs are often scarlet or bright
green, the body of the dress being some
dark shade. A gentlemanly collar and
dicky front may be worn, or silk and
high-chobered yoke. Sometimes there are
little tabs below the belt at the back, but
as rule the blouse finishes under the
belt in front These blouses are planned
to wear unbuttoned, the belt remaining
fastened, and then display pretty lin

skirt, and plain silk waist of other than
shirt-waist type or a strictly gentlemanly
shirt may be worn underneath. The hat
should harmonic if gentlemanly neck

With eyes aslant and shaver crown
Or dear little girl Of the Land OF the

Or toddling Prince in Londontown'
Or the one rare treasure a Soudan slave
Hugs to her heart, all wee and brown
Each in its mothers gentle pride
is fairer than all the world beside.
Whose mother is loved the best?
Baby's own.
She whose cheek was first caressed-
She alone.
For whether she be an Eskimo,
Or colored nanny, or stately queen
Or wandering organ-grinder's wife,

In every land where children are
The baby eyes from their deep, serene
Gaze, rapture-bound by the tender grace
In the mothers Bonded, loye-it face.

A traveller in Corsica says that al

one would like to dip it in the Mediter-
ranean for thorough wash, it is won
derfully lovely at a distance. Its white
granite houses with red-tiled roofs and
fragments of old walls. with the blue
sky above and the green knoll beneath
and about, make up as aliuring south
ern picture as ever haunted north
erners memory. But do the southern
ers appreciate it? If one may Judge by
comparison. apparently not. Saws q

sorts have not this summer made srt-
cialty of automobile costumes, though
many OF them have made automobiles SO
much Of speciality that "bubblings has
been all the go-or stand-stil or blow-up,
as the case might be. In general, the
women have dressed in the summer Huf-
ferries suitable to the call or garden affair
to which they might be going. Now ard
then something in the way Of an autom5-
bile coat has been slipped on, but only
IL the weather required it. All this IS to
be changed for fall and winter in the city.
1t is decreed that if you handle the bar
yourself, the costume must be trig and
evidently adapted to the occasion. If
you are using the automobile as a means
of transportation, then you must allow
someone else to take the bar. When the
owner bubbles herself, some jauAty tai
lor gown a little more pronounced than
would do for walking is the rule. The
hat, while striking in style and shape,
should be inelabeFate and as nearly as
possible untrimmed.
Deep red cloth, dark green and billiard
green, ali shades of dark brown, black
and now and then a very dark purple
covert cloths and colors are also used, but
usually for the simpler rigs. 1t seems a
rule that the bodice shall fit easily, and
many bar-seat dressed show the straight
front much exaggerated Skirts are usu-
ally perfectly plain and invariably long
all around, dragging al the back. Auto
mobiles for the use of women are made
very low, so that there is no difficulty
about getting in and out. A guest for a
bubble where there is to be no stopping,
may properly don tailor dress, though it
is unnecessary that her hat should be Sc

some inelaborate sort, make good
choice. Severity is so essential that no
great variety is possible, but three suits
of fairly distinct types are sketched here.
First is billiard green cloth, with rever
facing of checked red and white velvet.
Next appears a dark brown ladies' cloth
