So Saws j. CLAYTON Nichols

Mr.. Henry Nichols, county clerk is in
receipt Of a letter from his brother, j.
Clayton Nichols, who is in the Philip
pines managing large mining interests
for syndicate in which he is interested.
The letter is full OF information regard
ding the Filipinos.
A portisn Of the letter upon self gov
which is being much agitated now in
the great political canvass being made
is OF peculiar interest to the general pub
lie and upon request by The Sentinel,
Mr.. Nichols has permitted this paper
to publish that exact from the letter.
Mr.. Nichols is a shrewd observer Of
men and things and certainly has more
knowledge OF the situation there than
have the thousands of spell binders who
have never been nearer Filipino than
three thousand miles.
The following is the extract:
"For over two years the Filipinos had
undisputed possession OF Mindanao, Sa-
mar and Leyte and they d q govern

self government. 1t might not be run
to suit us as well as we could run it to
suit ourselves, but it could not fail to be
much better than U. s. military rule.
OF course would rather have my inter
ests under U s. protection, il it would
protect and not be at continued warfare
with the people.

a MONKEY ON A SHOPPING TOUR

In the National Magazine Maitland
Leroy Osborne writes of his recollec-
tions of P. T. Barnum and incidents re
lating to the winter quarters of the
big show. He says: "A large monkey
escaped from its cage one day. and
eluding the vigilance of the keepers,
started on a tour Of the downtown
shopping district A millinery store
was thrown into a f1utter of agitation
at its entrance. Customers and clerks
ing the door and barricading it, unan-
imOsuly tainted The monkey pro-
ceeded to inspect the stock of bonnets.
This amusement soon losing its nov
city, it wandered from the store with
a wonderful creation of the miIliner's
art upon its head, and spying an ap-
preaching horse car, made directly for
it. The driver departed for headquar-
tiers leaving the simian intruder tenn
porarily in charge. One portly gentle
man, Weakened from a brief nap by the
cOmmOtion, gave one glance at the
monkey and sought the nearest drug
store, where he collapsed in a chair,
and in a shaking voice called for bro
mo settler and a temperance pledge. A
fond mother dropped her offspring and
dove headlong through an open win
dow of the car. The horses, suddenly
bereft of the gentle admonition of the
driver, glanced back to ascertain the
reason, saw the apparition behind, and
broke into run. The car careered
down the street at an unheard-of rate.
People waiting on corners signaled for
it to stop, caught glimpse Of its lone
ly occupant and forgetting their hurry
cheerfully waited for the next car Al
a curve in the track the horses broke
loose and gallOped away, and here a
valiant policeman boarded the car and
found the monkey, with the hat
perched on one side Of it's head hug
ging the abandoned baby head down
ward to its breast, with an expression
of placid enjoyment on its counte-
nance"

contrary to her usual rule, kissed her

More than once that day Ethel won
dered if anything would happen to pre-
vent their marriage. She might have
known the state of her own heart from
the fact that, whenever she thought of
any obstacle arising, her regret was
not to be able to enjoy her triumph
over Miss Digby. She thought but lit
tie of any pain that might arise from
losing Laurie Nugent
But it was not in the DEGREES of fate
that anything should happen to pre-
vent the marriage of Sir Leonard's
daughter.
Early on Wednesday morning Laurie
Nugent went over to HolmIeigh to
make arrangements for the marriage.
The story he told to the rector of St.
Ann's-the Reverend Mr.. Brfan-was
fully known only to himself There
was some pathetic story of an orphan
girl living in some uncongenial, un-
happy home, ana he, on the point OF
starting for abroad on a most sudden
and unexpected journey, wished to
marry her and take her with him.
Mr. Brian thought himself doing a
very meritorious deed when he con
scented to marry them

TOBACCO.

1t is asserted that tobacco was in use
IN China from the earliest times, but
we have no certain knowledge that this
was the case. If it was so, the knowl-
edge of the plant and its use must have
been carefully guarded by the Chinese,
for it was not introduced into any
other oriental nation until after its
discovery in America.
When Columbus first landed on the
island Of San Domingo in the West In
dies, he found tobacco is use among
the natives there, who smoked i, when
made into small cylindrical rolls, and
wrapped in maize leaf. The Indians
on the continent smoked it in a pipe,
and among all the tribes from Peru
to Upper Canada the first discoveries
found the plant to be in use, and to
have been known to them from so
early a period that the time of its first
discovery was unknown.
The smoking Of tobacco with the In
dians partook largely of the nature of
a religious rite. The seeds of the to-
bacco plant were first brought to Eu-
rope by GonZalo Hernandez de Ovaido,
who introduced it into Spain, where it
was first cultivated as an ornamental
plant, till a traveller who had noted its
use among the American Indians called
attention to it's narcotic properties.
The name is said to have been taken
from Tobacco, a province of Yucatan,
though others derive If from Toha on
an island in the Caribbean sea, and
yet others from Tobasco, in the gulf or
Florida
The practice of smoking the dried
leaf of the plant became general in
Spain and it's manufacture into snuff
followed soon after. 1t was intro
duced into Italy in 1860 and about the
same time into France The first to
bring the seeds of the plant into the
latter country was Jean Nicot, the
French ambassador to Portugal, in
whose honor tobacco received it's bo-
tanical name Nicotiana, whence the
name nicotine, applied to a poisonous
extract from the plant. Tobacco is
said to have been first introduced into
England by Sir Walter Raleigh. From
these beginnings the use of the weed
spread over the entire eastern cent?
nent. 1t did not become known in
Asia until the seventeenth century, but
1t was takn up by the oriental nations
with great eagerenss, and they are now
the greatest smokers in the world.

RULES AGAINST CRUELTY.

The Anti-Cruelty society, of which
Mrs. Theodore Thomas is president,
has formulated a set of rules, since
adopted by many coal dealers, and
which provides against the overlooking
or beating of horses:
THE maximum load shall be one and
0ne-haf tons for one horse, four tons
for two horses, and six tons for three
borses, and shall only be used when
the horses employed are exceptionally
strong and the roads in good condi-
ton and free Of ice, snow, and mud
For ordinary horses, or long hauls
or over roads badly paved, slippery, or
heavy with snow, sand or mud, the
shipping clerk must load according to
the capacity Of the horses and the con-
ditiOn Of the roads.
Blind, MANNED feeble, or infirm
horses must not be employed in this
yard at all
Drivers are strictly forbidden to
beat stalled or balky horses at any
tine, and are instructed in such cases
to get the help Of the first unloaded
team which passes to start their horses
again.
In driving up and down inclines
which are too slippery for horses to
get a proper foOthold the drivers must
get help from unloaded teams when
going up. and must chain one wheel as
a brake when going down, when the
load is too heavy for the horses to
manage without help
Horses must be watered at proper
intervals to prevent unnecessary suf-
fering from thirst. "-Chicago Journal.

some story or other that would satisfy

Yes; I cannot Object Are you
quite sure it is right, Laurie?"
L am certain it is" he replied, with
a ready confidence that cheered her;
and then, bending over her, he wished
her goodnight.
She preferred to go back to the house
alone. He stood and watched her. his
heart thrilling with the thought that
in short time the young girl would
be his wife.

tered the hotel the first question was

drowning of Philae were appeased. or
at least silenced. and the greatest en-
cheering work that the world has ever
seen was quietly started, and within
"a year 10000 men were employed at
Asouan and at the supplemental dam
of Assiout.
When the dam Is completed and at
its high level, Philae will have it's
temple pylons, and few of the higher
ruins standing out of the water. Just to
mark where its ancient beauties were;
but all its loneliness, its verdure, it's
palms, several of its temples, it's
stored walls and its Nilometer, its col
onnades, its Roman quays, will disap-
pear beneath the waters. An island will
be lost, but continent will be saved!
For my part, l would rather they had
made Willcocks cyclopean granite
barrier of about a hundred and fifty
feet (where the wall crossed the Bah
el kebir), and that the whole island
had been sacrificed. The fragments
left will only serve to reopen the sad
affair in peoples minds. However, we
must make the best of it. Even with
the sixty-five feet of water in the res
eryoir great advantages will be gained
for upper Egypt. If we lose Philae
for the. tourist and the artist and the
archaeologist, we will gain millions Of
acres more for the fellaheen's agricul-
ture, and the revenue from the frriga-
ton it will afford will double the return
OF annual income to the finances of
the government-so much so that if the
British were allowed a free hand, this
Increased revenue could be made in a
short time to clear Egypt from debt.

Washington, March 2S.-The senate
agreed to vote on the Porto Rico gov
eminent and tariff bill next Tuesday,
at 4 o'clock. An important utterance
was made later in the day on the bill
by Senator Davis (rep., Minn.) who ad-
vocated free trade between the United
States and Porto Rico. His principal
proposition was the necessary money
to be raised by taxation should not be
raised by a duty levied upon Porto
Rican products but by an internal
revenue tax levied on rum and to-
bacco produced on the island. This
system, in his opinion, would better
suit the people of the United States
and Porto Rico than the proposed tar
if and be as just, equitable and con-
stitutional. The amendment offered
by Senator Carter to the Alaskan civil
code bill allowing mining for gold
under the waters of Cape Nome was
agreed to. The consideration of the
Porto Rican bill was then resumed,
and the free silver coinage amendment
offered by Senator Morgan (dem.,

Never since the close of the war of

in opening, has either the president
or congress been called upon to solve
problems equal in difficulty with those
which confront us now. Does the con-
stitutiOn follow the 1ag?" he inquired
No, it does not. Our army entered
Cuba during the war with Spain. Our
flag is there now. But is our consti-
tuition there? Certainly not. Can We
legislate for CUBA? No we cannot.
Our soldiers are there, but our constl-
tuition is not The only law which fol-
lows the flag is the law of war The
flag follows the constitution not the
constitution the flag" In re-
Spouse to question asked by
Senator Tillman (dem., S. c. Senator
Spooner said: The proposition that
the constitution extends of it's own
force over acquired territory was in
vented in the interests of slavery. .
Senator Spooner declared the pend

ever proposed for any territory belong

pie of the territory were being treated
thus differently from those territories
because they were in dire distress.
