Warned by Those About to Die.


Camille Flammarion. in a French Pc
riodical. asked people to answer the
following question: Have you ever had
while awake the impression Of having
seen a human being and had that i'm
preston coincide with the time Of the
death Of that person" The astrono-
mer tells the result Of his investigation
in the Nouvelle Revue.
He had $3.50 responses, Of which
2,456 were negative and 1914 affirma-
tive. OF the affirmative replies he ex-
amined 1872. who recited 1,120 cases, all
Of which he regards as authentic. In
his article NJ. Flammarion merely gives
the experience Of the subjects as re-
lated to him and does not attempt to
account for the premonitions.
1t might be said, however, that the
fact that 40 per cent Of those who
wrote to him had had telepathic ex-
periences does not indicate such an
average among the human family. The
three periodicals whose readers he ask
ed for information have large circu-
lation. and it is safe to say that every
reader who has had premonitions of
the death Of friend wrote to Flam-
marion. while the others would not re-
gard it as worth while.

WIPED OUT BY FIRE.
Business Center of Morristown, Mimi,
Destroyed.

Business Center of MorristOwn, Mimi,
Destroyed.
MoRRIsTowN, Mimi, Jan. 31.-Fire
which broke out in Charles Birds drug
store shortly after p. m, swept away
large part of the business center, as
we'll as several residences. The night
was bitter cold and little could be done
to stop the spread of the flames, which
were famed by high wind. After de-
stroying Birds drug store, adjoining
which was the postoffice, the fire swept
over Henry A. Dorn's grocery store and
stock and the Office and plant of the
Morristown Press, the Bank of Morris
town, the Central hotel and barn, MILL
merry store, harness shop, meat market
and several residences, including that of
Banker Ridgeway. The Masonic and
Woodmen's halls were also destroyed.

A DECLARATION
Belief Growing That Congress
Shonld Definitely State Its
Position.
Further Delay Might Work Harm
to Islands and the Admin
istratiOn.
Senate Expected to Take the First
Practical Steps to This
End.

NEW YORK, Jan. ga special to
The Herald from Washington says:
The impression is growing among adj
ministration leaders that there should!
be some definite action by congress-
without much further delay, upon the
problem of the Philippine policy. 1t is
generally felt that further delay in the
declaration of some sort of government
policy in regard to the islands may not
only work harm to the islands, but may
be used by the Democrats in the presi-
Dental campaign.
The senate is expected to take the first
practical steps on this line; but as yet
nothing has been done. Senator Lodge
of Massachusetts, chairman of the Phil
ippine committee, has, up to this time,
been of the opinion that there should be
nothing in the nature of declaration of
policy in advance of the ending of the
instruction by the capture of Aguinal-
do and the surrender by the Fiipinos Of
their arms. 1t is understood several
prominent senators on the committee
are urging action for two reasons indi-
Gated, that a declaration by congress
would tend to help conditions in the
Philippines, and that such action would
strengthen the administration.
spooner Has a Resolution.
The only resolution now before the
senate, legislative in it's character, is
that of Senator Spooner of Wisconsin.
This is modelled on the similar resolution
~
obtained full authority, legislative, ex-
ecutive and judicial, in the territory
covered by the Louisiana purchase until
such time as congress should itself take
charge.
II think it would be BETTER" said Mr..
Spooner, "to take that action than to
have the conduct of affairs remain in
the hands of the president, simply
through his power as commander-in-
chief of the army, year after peace has
been secured. The most practical dec
laration we can give the people there
would be to show them that congress
recognizes that we have acquired poses
sion of the country and we are legislat.
ing for it
'Of course we shall put down the in
surrection !. That is what we have in
creased the army for, and, by showing
them that congress treats them as in
surrectionists and regards their country
as part of the territory controlled by US,
we will, think, do more towards bring
ing about settlement than a mere
forma! declaration Of policy"
Senator Morgan of Alabama agrees
with Senator Spooner's view of what
shoult be done by congress.

The DAMossL OF ONE DIMENSION.

Let others celebrate the charms
OF ladies fair, with figures ample.
az whom the Medicean is
The Venus serving for example;
I string my Tyre in praise OF one
Who makes no vulgar, vain pretension
To fascination through the flesh,
The damosel of one dimension.
The plump, though pretty, now appear
But coarse beside her girlish slimness,
Whose rare attenuation shows
No trace of ghastliness or grimness;
Although tits true she'd ne'er suggest -
The type you might call tutti frutti,
Her slender form today, meseems,
Describes the Landed line Of beauty.
], looking on her lovely length,
Abandon with amazing quickness
Ny orthodox old prejudice,
Revolving seem both breadth and thickness;
How Turks delight to feast their eyes
On fat doth pass my comprehension;
For me the fairest woman is
The damosel Of one dimension.
Her one dimension is enough;
The line that emulates the willows
Own supple grace Is better worth
Than fattened fesh that rolls and billowA
But does my lady know her charmf
Alas, I'm filled with apprehension
Lest antilean transform and spoil
Ny damosel OF one dimension.

TURNED THE TABLES.
The Surprise Was For She Who Had
Planned to Surprise.

That surprises do not always sur
prise those for whom they are intended
is one of the peculiar things about sur
prises, and this fact was we'll Illus
trated one day this week In an east end
house. The lady Of the house received
word from a friend that she was com
ing out the next day for lunch. Now,
it happened that the next day was the
day on which the servant girl had her
day off, and the lady of the house made
up her mind that she would surprise
her friend by getting up nice lunch
prepared by herself. for she had the
reputation when they were young la
dies of not being able to cook, while
her friend had the reputation Of being
an excellent cook
The day her friend was expected the
lady went to market and laid in sup
ply Of all the good things which go to
make up a fine lunch. She went home
and lighted the fire and prepared for
the cooking. Just then she discovered
that she had forgotten to get some
fruit and told her young daughter to
tell her friend when the latter came
that she would be back in a few mo-
ments. She went to the store and,
meeting some Of her friends. staid quite
awhile. forgetting how time was flying.
In the meantime the friend arrived.
and. being told that her hostess would
soon be home. she went into the kitch
en-. and. seeing the good things there,
she went to work and cooked and pre-
pared the lunch. When the lady of the
house arrived home. she was astonish-
ed to see the table set and a most APP
petizing lunch on the table. The sur
prise she had intended for her friend
was a surprise for her. - Pittsburg

PRESS MAKES THE CHARGE.

Said Russian Spies Are Inspecting Swe-
den's Notifications.
STOCKHOLM, Jan. 31.-The newspa-
pers are becoming persistent in their de-
mands for explanations from the gov
eminent in regard to the steps it is
pursuing relating to the Russian spies
who for several weeks past are reported
to have been seen in different parts of
Sweden, especially in the fortified
places. The papers declare that if the
reports are true the government must
address an unequivocal intimation to
Russia that such proceedings must
cease. There will probably be an inter-
pellation in the riksdag on the subject.

NUMBER OF FIGHTS.

Filipinos Defeated by Americans in En-
gaCements at Different Points.
MANILA, Jan. pa dispatch from
Sorsogon says Brigadier General Kob-
be's expedition has occupied Sorsogon.
Donsola, Bullan, Logaspi and Virac, on
Catandunes island. The only resist
ance was at Logaspi, where Ameri-
cans were wounded and 40 dead and Is
wounded Fiipinos were found. It is
estimated that there are 125, 900 bales of
hemp in these provinces and $4,000
bales in the ports Of Sorsogon and Lo-
gaspi. The United States gunboat
Nashville's shrapnel burned 5000 bales
in Logaspi. The expedition arrived off
Sorsogon Jan. 20 and the town dis
played white flags. General Kobbe and
Colonel Howe, with battalion of the
Forty-seventh infantry, landed and
raised the United States flag. The in
surgent force, numbering 800 men
evacuated the place. The natives were
passive. During the morning Of Jan.
90 the Nashville and Venus, with four
companies of the Forty-seventh infan-
try under Major Shipton, approached
Logaspi. Filipino flags were flying and
the trenches were crowded.
The Nashville Assists.
A detachment of $50 picked men, led
by Major Shipton, landed on the beach
about a mile north of the town. The
Nashville bombarded the trenches and
the enemy retreated to Albay, whence
they were easily dispersed 10 hill. The
Filipino dead were mostly villagers who
were attempting to flee. The expedition
will proceed to Samar and Leyte, where
the Fourth battery and battery of the
Third artillery will be distributed. The
natives complain of lack of food result
ing from the blockade. They are
strongly opposed to the return of the
friars. Native priests are officiating in
the churches.
