CIGAR STORE INDIANS DEAD.

The wooden Indian, like his flesh
and blood prototype, is rapidly becom-
ing a thing of the past The march of
civilization, the increase in splendor
and luxury which prevails in this end
of the century, have driven the wooden
| Indian before it just as the settlement
! Of this continent has almost extermi-
mated his human counterpart
Twenty years ago the wooden Indian
was almost as inevitable a sign for
cigar store as a striped pole is for
barber-shop, Now a walk through the
principal streets OF Philadelphia will
scarcely disclose one mute warrior.
They are, indeed becoming very
rare, so much so that the attention of
archaeologists has been drawn to the
fact, and one prominent scientist con-
nected with the university is making
an extensive collection of them They
are of every conceivable variety, and
when the collection is completed he
proposes to present IL to a museum.
1t may perhaps, seem strange that
the humble cigar store Indian, so long
the stock in trade of the humorous
Photographer. should actually engage
the serious attention of those who
study the habits and customs of man
kind, but when one considers how we
treasure as antiquities equally unpre-
tentious relics Of earlier days there
is nothing so very strange about it
after all. Perhaps the day is not so
very far distant when the wooden
Indian will be such rarity that pos
terity viii treasure them as drawing
room ornaments ir possibly as statuary
in their gardens just as We now delight
lin q genuine sundial or an ancient
bench.
Ever since the courtly Sir Walter
Raleigh introduced that doubtful
blessing to civilization--toba and
during the earlier days of this coun-
try's history when tobacco was chiefly
purchased from the Indians-"the
weed has been more or less constantly
associated with the American aborigi-
nes 1t was the natural outgrowth of
such an association that the image OF
an Indian should become the recog-
nized outward and visible sign for
tobacconist,
The noble red man was counter
foited in many shapes and attitudes.

FORTY-SIXTH REGIMENT IN BAT
TIE WITH FILIPINOS.
MADISON BOYS IN FIGHT
Trenches Near San Mateo Are Taken.
Insurgents Being the Same that
Killed Gen. Lawton--Four Amer
leans Wounded Filipino Loss Was
Large.

Manila, Dec. 2S.-Col. Lockett with a
force Of $500 men, including artillery,
yesterday attacked a strong force of in
surgents entrenched in the mountains
near Montalban, five miles northeast
of San Mateo. The enemy was com
pletely routed, the Americans pursuing
them through hills, amid which they
fed in every direction. Four Ameri-
cans were wounded. The Filipino loss
was large, resulting from a heavy in
fantry and artillery fire OF three hours
into the trenches. The insurgents were
supposed TO he those driven out of San
Mateo on the day Gen. Lawton was
killed They numbered probably a
thousand. A dozen lines of insurgent
trenches covered the steep trail
through the hills and likewise the val
ley below, along which the Americans
passed. The main attacking party con-
sisted OF the forty-siXth volunteer in
fantry troopof cavalry and artillery,
Col. Lockett commanding in person
The best of the command operated
from remote points in an endeavor to
carry out Lockett's plan, throwing
lines around the enemy and cutting off
retreat. The nature of the mountain
Gus country made it impracticable to
execute this movement successfully
After the insurgents began to run there
was vain attempt to use artillery.

ALLIED ARMIES MAY
REMAIN in PEKIN

Washington, Sept "A dispatch
from Minister Conger was received to
day by the State Department 1t was
chiefly interesting In being the first
word from him since his dispatch of
the 9th ultimo. referring to the pro-
posed parade of troops through the i'm
perial palace In Pekin. Like that dis
patch, this is dateless as to Pekin. The
contents were not made public. but 1t
was stated that It contained nothing
materially changing the situation The
lack Of date led to determination to
take energetic steps by which all dis
patches hereafter coming to the State
Department from China will have the
date clearly stated.
Two other dispatches received to-day
from China referred to the state of
health Of the troops, which, generally,
Is satisfactory. 1t cannot be learned
that there has been any marked ad-
vancement of the negotiations between
the powers touching the withdrawal Of
International forces from Pekin.
The plain indication is that the pow
ers are acting upon the information
conveyed in the last note of the State
Department and are bringing all their
influence to bear upon Russia to in
duce her to change her mind as to
withdrawing her troops. For some
reason the authorities here appear to
feel growing confidence that this eff
fort will be successful. 1t is noted as
fact of great Significance that the
