FROM THE PHILIPPINES.

FROM THE PHILIPPINES.
 The following letter was written to Joseph Slater at Williams by Richard Paradies, who is serving Uncle Sam in the Philippines, The letter was published in the Williams News last week, and as Dick has many friends and acquaintances here, we reproduce it:
 Cagayan, Province Misamis, Island of Mindemar, Apr, 14, 1900. Friend Joe-"As you might read in the papers about the hard battle we were in last week, will write you a few lines to let you know that I am still alive, though had very narrow escape.
 We landed here eleven days ago. This is the most southern island of the Philippines, and we are only one days journey from the north coast of Borneo. When we landed here we were greeted very kindly by the natives, which are Morros, (that means Mohammedans and heathens) and they did not think of any evil.
 Last Saturday morning at 4:3O when we were all lying in deep slum- Der, they suddenly attacked our guards with about 2,000 men, of which 400 had all kinds of rifles. When we got out of our barracks they were at us and one of fercest hand to- hand fights these islands have seen for a long while com menced. We are only one battalion here (4OO mem and tell you we had hard work of it. It took us about one and a half hours to drive them back, and when we counted the loss there. were four dead and thirteen wounded on our side, and eighty three dead and sixteen wounded prisoners on their side. There were great many more wounded on their side, but they took some along in their retreat. The yell with which they attacked us I shall never forget in my life. Itell you it made our nerves shake little, but all our men fought splendid. You must remember that they were about five to one against us and we had all the work we wanted to do. As soon as we got out of our barracks, a corpOr al next to me dropped, shot through the leg, and I just had time to lie down and get cartridge in my rifle when the bullets again commenced to fly thick; then they rushed at us and we had to keep them off with the bayonet. As soon as all our men got out we changed our tactics and with several volIeys first, and then one great hurrah! we went at them in good shape. It just took us about one hour to drive them out of town and back on the hill again.
 They have enough of the Ameri- cans for awhile. The streets were filled with the dead and wounded Morros, and the rest received good lesson, which they will not forget. We heard today that they threaten to come back with twice as many, but we are not afraid eff them.
 Since last Wednesday have been detached from my company and at tached to the internal revenue office here as chief clerk and interpreter 1 am getting S44 month, board, room and an allowance of S90 for clothing a year, which l think is pretty good"

tract contains provision giving the
city engineer power to reject the
brickif not satisfactory. A few days
ago the Monticello Brick Company
began to deliver brick, and the city
engineer, after an inspection, served
notice that he would reject consider
able portion of them. This stopped
the delivery Of brick by the Monticello
company, which was To furnish half
the number needed. 1t also appears
that the High Grade Shale Brick
Company refuses to furnish the other
half. The work was to be finished by
September /, and few days ago the
city engineer notified the contractors,
that, If they did not resume work
September "a and complete II by
November Is, their bond would be de-
clared forfeited. The situation pre-
sents knotty problem far from a
practical solution, The council con-
cluded to consider it carefully and
accordingly adjourned until next Fri
day night, when the matter will be
taken up in earnest.

The reason why the mechanism for
making the noises that give realism to
a play are never seen by the audience
is because the illusion would be COM
pletely destroyed if it's operations were
exposed to view, explains Frank Fyles
in The Ladies' Home Journal.
The noise Of the waiter falling down
stairs with a tray Of dishes, for in
stance, is simulated by dropping as Of
ten as necessary n basket filled with
bits Of broken china. and a cylinder Of
silk, turned with q crank, drawing the
cloth over wooden flanges, gives a per-
feet rain and wind storm. A lightning
accompaniment is made by touching
an ordinary file to a bit of carbon, both
on live wires, and thunder by rolling
tenpin balls in long, narrow, wooden
trough.
The rumble Of the wheels of a car
riage is initiated with a vehicle like a
miniature freight car run on a wooden
track, and striking of wood or metal
on hard or soft surfaces serves to con-
vince an audience of the approach or
departure Of a horse. When there is
war, n single shot or two is usually
the real thing, but rifle volley effect
is obtained by rapidly beating a dried
calfskin with rattans, while heavy
strokes on the bass drum will convey
the idea Of cannonading.
If this mechanism were seen In op-
Grafton by an audience, it would make
the whole performance seem ridiculous.
