Masonic services and brief addresses

President Hyde and Prof. Chapman OF
Bowdoin. Mr.. Philoon was one OF
BoWdoin's six commencement speak
ers, last June. a beautiful tribute to
the dead was the following letter sent
by President Hyde to DR.. Philoon.
Dear DR.. Philoon-
Allow me to express my profound sor-
row and sympathy in this, YOUR sudden
and great bereavement: our son was
enc OF the noblest and best men we ever
had here. lie was always strong and
manly: and his strength and manliness
was always given to the support OF
whatever was good, and pure, ana true.
We count it Il great blessing that 50
much Of his brief life was spent with US;
and if he had done no more than what ne
did in college in influence over otner
young men. his life would have been far
more useful than are the lives OF most
men who live out their three score years
and ten. Your great loss Is one Wilcl an
of us who honorcd and loved MN snare

A promise of best values carries much more weight with the buying public if the promise is backed by a good name and a good reputation.

GIRL TRAMP IN DISGUISE.
Says She Has Worn Boys Clothing
For Eight Years

st. Louis, Sept Frank Jeffries was
arrested for idling in Forest park At
the police station it was found that the
supposed boy was a girl. She gave her
name as Mamie Jeffries, of White coun-
ty, Illinois; said she was 10 years old
and had been tramping around the coun-
try eight years dressed in boys cloth
ing.
Her parents, she said, died when she
was IL years old and having no relatives
she procured a suit of boys clothing, in
which garb she had dressed ever since.
In 1898 she returned to White county,
where she married Harry King, also a
tramp, and with him roamed about the
country. In Chicago she and King had
quarreled and separated, and since then
she has travelled alone, riding in boxcars,
on the trucks or anywhere to get to her
objective point.
No one but King, she said, ever sus-
pected that she was not boy. She was
given clothing suited to her sex and is
now in charge of the police matron.

MUTINY AT BILIBID.
Filipino Prisoners Attempt to Escape
and Nineteen Are Shot.

washington, Sept 7.-,-Manila news
papers just received at the war depart
ment give details of a desperate mutiny
among the native prisoners in Bilibid
prison, which resulted in the death Of
four and the wounding of Is of them
The report states that the outbreak
came without the slightest warning The
officials of the prison were going about
their duties on a hot summer afternoon,
the 18th of July last, when little Fill
pino serving a life term assumed
crouching attitude and began to creep
I'D behind the native foreman, giving
utterance to a low growl like a wild
beast. The effect was electrical on the
other convicts. In an instant the NUT
terings had grown to a wild roar, and
every prisoner was making for the keep
erss 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 a bolo Then the Infatuated men
started for the gateway of the prison 10
overpower the guard and escape. They
were met by Major Rogers the COM
rnandant, and a small portion of the
guard, who fired vOlley into the ranks
Of the fugitives. Three men fell and this
seemed to check the prisoners for an in
slant but their leader, a Filipino OF the
most desperate type, urged them on.
Though already 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 anotn-

RAIDS ARE RESUMED.
Jointists Find New Order of
Things Still Uncomfortable.

The police have settled down since the
appointment of the new chief and this
morning they began raiding the joints.
The old familiar names of Geo. K1auer,
Ed Ryan and Hugh Bowling were the
first to be entered on the police register.
Klauer gave bond at once and was re-
leased, but the others spent short
time in jail waiting for their attorney to
fix the matter up.
The mayor said that the changes in
the police department would not long
delay the raiding of the joints, and it
seems that it@did not. The authorities
think they have some good evidence,
and before they are through they ex-
pect to secure at least half a dozen con-
victions While the police have been
quiet for several days evidence against
the jointiStS has been secured and, I'M
less something goes wrong, the usual
farce enacted at the trials will be
changed, and the don't remember wit
nesses will be supplemented by some
positive evidence.
Chief Lucas has labeled all the pumps
and paraphernalia as they were brought
in, and in SO doing expects to do away
with the trouble which is occasioned
when the jointists not convicted claim
property If tags had always been at
tached to pumps as they were brought
to the station the police committee
would have had one less complaint to in
