WAR is OVER.
An American Army Officer Writes
About the Filipinos.

ABOUT the fIiipinoS.
The war has become for all practi-
cal purposes thing of the past.
Travel is as safe as it was in the
west from 1870 until the suppression
of train-robbing; fields are being cul-
tivated, and trains of pack-ponies are
carrying the produce of the country
to market. People are poor, and near
ly every family wears mourning; but
the cheerfulness of oriental. fatalism
tempers their grief, and the habits of
obedience formed during three hun
dred years of slavery to friar, church,
state, and tax-farmer have well pre-
pared them for new masters. 1t is
here the American must pause to
realize his own need of information on
the habits and ideas of these new
fellow-citizens, before forming a
| judgment of their characteristics and
necessities. The preconceived ideas
of Americans about them are nearly
all wrong.
l. Although they are fighting in a
manner generally contrary to the
laws of civilized warfare, yet they are
not an uncivilized people.
They are uniformly polite, both to
each other and to foreigners; they
are intelligent, and generally able to
read and write; they are very relig-
ious people; they have always been
accustomed to system of law and
legal settlements of disputes; they
have produced generals poets, law
yers, painters, and business men of
recognized ability-some of world
wide reputation; and they are eager
to learn the ways of advanced civili-
cation.
g. Like ourselves, they are a mon
grel race, formed by the survival of
the hardest-lived traits in a varied
and cosmopolitan (orientaD ancestry.
Far from being a degenerating race,
they are virile, young. and healthy
new stock. probably destined, from
their geographical position and racial
peculiarities, to play an important
part in the great drama of the proxi-
mate future in the neighboring
orient. Their race type is to their
world what that of the Americans is
TO the western civilization. Com
bining many of the best traits of
their varied ancestry, they have,
however, contracted the vices that
usually flow from contact of feeble
ness with INSCRIPTIONS strength.
Long used to naughty dominance,
they are sometimes servile; never
having been able to resist by force,
they have learned to use falsehood
and deception as shield; accus-
toned to play an inferior part, their
learning is too often superficial. But
they are hospitable, charitable, must
CAL and ambitious. Surely these are
good traits on which to build.
8. Numerically, they are a very
strong race, and they have the rich
est garden-spot of the world for their
heritage. They are capable of pro-
longed and sustained effort, are con-
slant under reverses, and as indus
trious as the necessities of their
habitat require. of Reviews.

Cable JOinters.

Gable jointers are clever specialists
who work for telegraphic engineers
and contract In the memorandum Of
agreement to 60 anywhere. They are
employed on the ships Of the ocean tel
egraph companies, and their duty is to
make spices and joints In the cables
which are dragged up from the sea for
repairs. To those who are not initiated
this would seem to be fairly easy work,
but 1t really requires great skill and
takes years to learn. Few are aware
how liable to damage undersea cables
are. In the case of some Of the old
lines there is scarcely mile Of the ca
BILE that has not one or more joints in
it.
Expert engineers can determine in
length of thousands of miles to within
a few feet where break In a cable is,
the telegraph ship proceeds to the spot,
which is indicated by buoy; the dam
aged length Of cable Is dragged up,
and the jointers proceed to cut out the
fault and deity splice the cable. The
slightest mistake, tiny air bubble, in
the reheated india rubber would spoil
the insulation. That would mean that
the cable would fail to transmit mes
sages at an important moment and
that ship, with all its high priced
scientific staff, would have to steam
hundreds or perhaps thousands Of
miles TO pick up the cable again.-New
York Sun.

new CASTLE,
May 9th, 1907

The advent of warm weather has
caused the people Of New Castle to
ask why the benches have not been
placed in the public squares. To
ascertain the reason for such a con-
dition Of affairs the REPUBLICAN
reporter at this place called upon
J. Harry Rogers who has done so
much towards identifying the pub
lie square. To his energy IS due
the fact that there are pretty walks
in both squares. Mr.. Rogers said:
$50 far as l am concerned there
will be no benches put in the square
this year. When they were placed
there the people showed their ap-
probation by breaking them up.
The city police gave no protection.
They allowed the men and boys to
break the benches, sm4shlthe iron
ratings and destroy the property
in every way. The squares became
dumping grounds for paper and
rubbish Of all sorts. There is no
use trying to do anything for the
people of New Castle SO long in
they will not take any interest as
the CITY,"
"By the way said Mr.. Rogers,
"did that fountain freeze up during
the past winter?"
''No sir"
"Then why in the name of crea-
ton is the tin caps not removed
and the water turned on"
"The Water Works Company re-
ceived nearly 100000 from the city
and yet they are too mean to give
enough water for that fountain.
City Council too, should show its
hand. There is no reason why
Council should not have money to
supply the fountain with water for
the people and the horses. Even
the Trustees of the Commons have
been backward with finances, while
we have to pay extraordinary high
taxes and just look at the condition
of our streets.
People along the route Of the cleo
trio railway we're surprised last
night about s o'clock to hear the
strains of music discoursed by
band Of twenty pieces. The music
was not of the kind the Citizens
Cornet band used to play. 1t was
not the rally round the flag selec-
ton heard during campaign year.
1t was the first public appearance

bwny he turned his head toward Hol-
Ens and howled dismally. A moment
later and the figure of a young girl
appeared beside the dog. She was
bareheaded, barefooted and not over
years old. Hesitating for only mo-
ments she began advancing across the
field. The smoke from the soldiers
musket had located him. The dog fol-
lowed at her heels, head and tail down,
and with surprise Holllns watched the
girls approach. 1t took her five min
utes to cross the field. She came
straight at him as he stood up among
the bushes, and when she reached him
she extended her hand and clasped his
and said:
"Come along, you!"
He rested his musket against log
md permitted her to lead him out into
the open and across the field. He did
not inquire why she had come. He did
not ask where she was leading him.
Not question passed his lips, nor did
she speak further. Straight across the
field to the trees among which his VIC
tim had stood, but long before he got
there he saw form on the grass. By
and by they were close up to it, and
the girl let 60 Of his hand and pointed
and said:
"You shot mamw
1t wasn't man lying dead on the
grass, soldier or farmer, but a woman.
The soldier rubbed his eyes and looked
around in dazed way. A boy of 10
and girl Of came out of the house
and stood there and looked from the
soldier to the dead woman and back.
They spoke no word; they shed no
tears twas true that the enemy's pick
ct post was In the bushes a few rods
away. The man on post came out of
his hiding. He came walking slowly
down, and when he had reached the
body there was gasp in his throat.
He looked around upon the children,
looked up at the blue sky as If speak
ing to God and, with groan. turned
his back on the place and returned to
his post.
"Well?' queried Hollins of the chill
dren as they continued to stare at him.
They simply pointed to the mother
lying dead and uttered no word. The
soldier tried to speak again, but he
could not. With face whittier than the
one on the grass, with quivering chin
and blinded eyes, he made his way
slowly across the old field to his post.
AS he lurched and staggered he heard
the dog howl again, but no one fired
upon him, no one called to him. When
he reached his post, he sat down on
the ground and covered his face with
his hands and groaned. An hour later
the corporal came with the relief. Hol.
Inns was lying on the ground with arms
extended.
Say, boys" said the corporal, as he
bent over the body, "Ill be hanged il
Dan hain't gone and killed himself
with his own musket! Who'd ever
have thought it of him"
Up there among the trees, standing
about with the awe of death upon
them, the children had heard the shot,
and as they looked at each other the
girl had whispered:
"Mebbe he's dead too!'

by kicking about under a green cloth

the men being blindfolded to keep the
dust out Of their eyes.

to tack the cloth down across the
stage, but instead Of doing this he tack

whistled, the thunder rolled, and-the
