Capt. Elliott, of the 10th Infantry, sur
prised the Filipino insurgent headquarters
near Oroquieta, Island of Mindanao, Oct.
II, and captured without fighting Gen.
Alvarez, staff and 25 soldiers. The cap

A COMMON TROUBLE
Thousands Suffer From it With
out Knowing its Real Character.

No trouble is more common or more mis-
understood than nervous dyspepsia. People
having it think that their nerves are to
blame. are surprised that they are not
cured by nerve medicines and spring rene
dies; the .eal seat of mischief is lost sight
Of; the stomach is the organ TO be look ed
after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have
any pain whatever in the stomach, nor
perhaps any Of the ustIal symptoms Of
stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia
shows itself not in the stomach so much as
IN nearly every other organ; in some cases
the heart palpitateS and is irregular; in
others, the kidneys are affected; in others,
the bowels are troubled, with loss of flesh
and appetite, with the accumulation Of gas
sour risings and heartburn.

NOTES ON ANCESTRY.

A good deal of space in future issues
will be given to Heraldry. There are mil
lions of descendants in this country of
good families of England and the Cont
rent who are entitled to armorial bear
ings and crests if they choose to claim
them. Gen. Washington derived a coat
of arms from English ancestors and used
il on appropriate occasions. Benjamin
Franklin applied for and obtained a grant
of armorial bearings.
We shall also fully acquaint our readers
with the hereditary patriotic societies Of
the United States, of which there are
many with large memberships. We hope
this department will provide Il great num-
Der of eligible new members for these so
cieties.
How to Trace a Pedigree" will be a
very practical article that will soon ap-
pear. Tracing a pedigree is instructive
and interesting work that we hope thou
sands of our readers will undertake
Family records were more carefully
kept before the Revolutionary period than
for some time after it; therefore when a
lineage has been traced back to the Revo-
luton it is comparatively easy to trace
still further back.
1t is suggested that those interested cut
out the records of their families, from
week TO week, and paste them in books.

Russia and Japan each has more troops
IN PekinS and North China, of course
than any of the other Powers. 1t is
thought that the official reports Of those
two countries, as to the number of sol
diers each actually has in North China,
are deceptive. and that they have many
more troops here than they desire to have
known.
There is growing feeling among
American and British officers that an un-
expected friendiness is developing be-

it is that Japan has set herself out to DEM
onstrate to the world her sodierly quail

favorable impression than any other ma

BASE BALI. TOPICS.
CURRENT NEWS AND E&TES
OF THE GAME.
Calling lsails and Strikes - Empire
Should Indicate Thorn by Rafs'rg His
Right or Left Hand - Would Please
the Public.

The suggestion made by Warren
Lynch, a prominent railroad official Of
Cincinnati, to Harry Weldon that the
umpire, instead of calling strikes and
balls, indicate them by raising his
right hand to denote the former, and
his left to designate the latter, should
be adopted in the code of playing rules
The system proposed is simple and
practical and relieves the umpire Of
one of his most tedious duties. In Or
der to have his decision heard through
out the grounds, 1t is necessary for an
umpire to announce them in loud
tone, and even then II the crowd Is
large a great many OF the spectators
are unable to hear him. AS stated by
Mr.. Weldon in his comments on the
good points in the suggestion, 1t has
been employed successfully to inform
Hoy, who is deaf, of the umpire's rul-
ings. 1t might be improved by requir-
ing the umpire to raise his right hand
above his shoulder for one strike, to
extend 1t parallel with his body for
two strikes and to make q sweeping
motion on the third strike. The two
first motions might be, employed with
the left hand to designate the first and
second balls. respectively, with sweep
ing motion backward on the third. and
the reverse on the fourth ball. Patrons
would learn this code of signals in a
short time. All good umpires do not
possess clear and penetrating voices
Mcdonald, for instance-and this vocal
defect handicaps them. 1t is not I'M
usual for a crowd to mimic an umpire's
calls and thus turn game into a
farce All this will be done away with
by the adoption of the pantomimic sys-
TEN. Then there will be no occasion
for an umpire to speak at all except in
the enforcement Of discipline, and this
can be done in a conversational tone.
There will be fewer. protests on this
class of decisions for the player, who
makes a verbal kick, will have less ex-
cuse for an argument. None would
be necessary If the umpire does his
duty.

takes from among the living tho
kindliest spirit that ever animated a
human heart. His love and sympathy
for the poor were boundless and were

good deeds of Father McGlynn are re-

departure, and he needs no more en-

which their tears express"
In granting the recent increase to
his employees, Carnegie comedies the
rate of wages demanded by the ANAL
gamated scale, but does not recognize
the organization. This also applies
to the Jones G. Laughlin men, who are
also considered as independent work

the iron mills of the country would
represent on an average the highest
figures paid in the industry, with the
work contracted for almost year
ahead, thus insuring constant employ
ment.
Overcoming the effects Of convict
labor upon free labor has for many

of prisoners to work at hand weav-
ing manufacturing blankets and coarse
cloth in use in the state charitable
institutions, thereby relieving the
product from competition with outside
labor.

Since the Brotherhood war the man.
ayers of teams do not put on half tina
frills that they did before. In 1889
there was only one team in the League
that did not take its players to visit
ing grounds in carriages. That team
was Washington, and everybody knew
when the Washingtons were in town,
because the family bus. would be
drawn up in front of the hotel where
the ball players stopped about two
hours before the game began. Open
broughams were the only things. that
Arson would listen to for his players,
and the men always presented a fine
appearance, because they never went
on the field without clean uniforms.
In the latter respect all players offend
grossly nowadays. w. H. Watkins is
another experienced manager who does
not believe in economizing on travel
ing expenses.-New York Press.

The Zulu custom of disembowling

such mutilation is not practiced on ac-

liberate the spirits of the deceased war

Deacon Jim White.

James L. White, Of Buffalo, forer-
ly a noted base ball player, was in the
city on Thursday, says the Corning,
N. Y, Journal. He came from Buffalo
with thirteen mich cows that he had
bought in Canada to put. on his farm
in Cation, the milk of which COWS will
be sent to Whites Creamery, in Corn
ing. Long before Mr.. White removed
from Cation to Buffalo he was usually
called Deacon" White, in base ball
circles, because of his solemn visage
and quiet demeanor, SO different from
that of ball players generally. He was
in those days a member of the M. e.
church, of Cation. He is now deacon
in fact, being one of the deacons in an
Advent church in Buffalo. He Is very
much respected by all of his old friends
in Corning and vicinity-and whether
he is hailed as "Jim," or Deacon" or
Mr.. White, 1t is all the same to him.
