CONFIRMED BY MACARTHUR.

Washington, Dec. 9.-The most en- couraging report received from the Phillipines for several months came to- day in cable message from Gen. Mac Arthur, who confirms the statement that a large body of insurgent FfIipi- nos in northern Luzon had surren- dered. War department officers say that the surrender is the result of the reelection of President Mckinley, and in this opinion they are supported by Gen. Young, to whom the natives sur rendered. The men not only declared their intention to stop fighting, but also took the oath of allegiance to the Uni- ted States.
 The surrender took place at Santa Maria, a town of 10,030 inhabitants. situated nineteen miles from Vigan, in the province of locus Sur.
 .The number guaranteeing Is given at ?, ,1S0, which largely exceeds the num- Der reported in press despatches. That these natives are Katipunan insurrec- tos is taken to indicate a decided re- action among the people of Luzon, as the society is the backbone of the revolution.
 It was members of this organization whom Aguinaldo addressed at the be- ginning of the insurrection, telling them how they should attack the Americans. @

VALUE OF WHITE CUTICLE.

Chicago.-Three dollars a square inch is the value Dr. Elmer F.. Prescott places on good healthy skin for graft ing on the hand of Felix Machut, of No POS Cleaver street.
 At this price he has advertised for twenty young men, from the arm of each of whom he will cut one square inch of skin and graft it on the hand of his patient.
 Seven have already answered the ad- vertisement and have agreed to report att the doctor s~office next Sunday, at which time the operation will be per formed.
 While Machut, who Is seventeen years old, was operating a revolving sand-paper machine his hand became caught and the skin was torn off.
 Dr. Prescott began skin grafting' which he believed would give the hand its normal condition. The boys hand was first grafted to his thigh and five inches of skin grown on the hand.
 Among those who answered the ad- vertisement was a young colored man. who offered to furnish all the cuticle required at $3 per square inch.
 He said he needed the money. but I told him he was the wrong color, although I admired the lad for his nerve" said Dr. Prescott.

MISS ALCoTTs LAURIE"
Some Recently Discovered Letters
 Correct a Literary Fallacy.

Some unpublished letters of Miss Louisa M. Alcott, recently brought to light, effectually brought to light a popular fallacy as 70 the original of
 Laurie" in her famous Little Wo- men," Ladislas, a little Polish boy, has always been thought to have been Laurie's prototype, but these letters prove that to be a mistake. Alfred Whitman, a Kansas man, who was Miss Alucott's playmate at Concord, is, in fact, the Laurie of her delightful story, and to him Miss Alcott wrote some ofthe most charming revealing letters that ever came from hef pen. MT. Whitman has just edited thesa missive for publication in the Ladies Home Journal.

MAGAZINE PICTURES.
Ladies' Home JournalPublished Over
 1,600 in Twelve Months.

From 324 illustrations in 1894. to over 1,6OO in 1900, are the figures which de-
 note the numerical growth and devel- opment in the pictorial features in The Ladies' Home Journal. This 400 per cent increase in numbers is rather dwarfed by the fact that nearly 1000 per cent more space is now given to pictures than six years ago, and that the quality and artistic value of the illustration has improved beyond com putation. A few years ago magazine
 making was thought by some to have attained a degree of perfection that

 Fisher has designated c. T. H. Bab- cock of Chadron and J. w. Porter of Crawford to take dispositions before the state legislature when it convenes.
 Every charge he alleges against Cof- fee is wholly without foundation in fact. while he was openly charged on the stump, on the street and through the press of guilt and complicity of these same things and others.

precluded further advancement, but it seems to have been in it's infancy. The reading public now insists upon illus trations, and in meeting that demand it is safe to say that the pictures that have been printed in the Ladies' Home Journal in 1900 exceed in number, size, quality and cost those published in all the leading magazines ten years lgo.

intermssion from 1880 to 1 O'Clock for
supper, which was prepared and served

The decorations were tastefully ar

dome made of bunting, the diameter
of which was equal to the midst of the
building, was suspended from the center
of the hall. The stage was carpeted and
arranged for a parlor. The enclosure oc-
cupied by the orchestra was also tasteful
ly arranged. Fifty guests were present,
