THE TATTOOED CRUCIFIX.
How Lieut.. Commander Gilmore Was
Saved from Execution In the
Philippines.

For the first time since we had been
on the march, says Lieutenant Com
mander Gilmore in McClure's, the
Filipino lieutenant separated his camp
from ours. He also doubled his guard,
stationing his soldiers in the rocks
which surrounded U.s. Thinking all
this somewhat peculiar. sent one Of
the men to ask if he placed the guards
for our protection.
No" was his laconic answer. Soon
afterward he came himself to our
camp. and through an interpreter
calmly informed me that he had or.
ders, presumably from Gen. Tino, 10
execute us in the mountains.
] have always believed that the lieu
tenants refusal to obey orders and ex.
ecute us was due to the effect pro-
duced in his mind by an incident which
had occurred night or two earlier.
At one of our stops he had shown me
crucifix, which he wore hung by
ribbon around his neck, and said to
me: THE 'Americanos' are not Chris
tions."
"Oh, yes / replied. "All the Amer.
leans are Christians"
But you never wear any cruciixes."
l opened my jacket and showed him
my breast. A crucifix had been tat
tooed there years ago, when I was a
midshipman. The Tagal leaped to his
feet with an exclamation of surprise.
He instantly crossed himself. His eyes
nearly started out of his head. | ex.
planned to him that anyone could buy
crucifix and hang it around his neck,
but that I had endured pain to have
my crucifix pricked in the flesh. and
that, as he could see, it must always
be with me. There was marked
change in his manner toward me after
that.

HAVE FAsTIp1ous HABITS.
Even Decapitation Does Not Prevent
Certain Insects from Making
Grand Final Toilet.

1t has often been noticed that there
are no animals which are more dainty
and fastidious in their personal habits
than insects, the extreme pains which
the common housefly takes in attend
ing to its toilet being a good example
of this racial characteristic. The dis
covery has now been made that there
are certain insects which have such a
respect for Mrs. Grundy, and are en-
dowed with such an innate love of neat
ness and order. that not even death. or
rather decapitation, can prevent them
from making one grand final toilet.
which is clearly designed to give them
a sedate and respectable appearance
after death.
DR.. Ballion, skilled entomologist,
has discovered this remarkable fact.
says the New York Herald. During
one of my recent horseback rides" he
says, 81 frequently caught one of those
large flies which annoy cattle and
horses so much, and promptly got rid
of it by crushing its head. One day.
instead of throwing the mutilatet in
sect away, placed it on the back of nv
hand and indolently watched it. For
some seconds the insect remained mo-
tionless, but then. to my unbounded
surprise, it moved its front legs for
ward to the place where the head
should have been, and, after it had
rubbed them nervously together. APP
parently in anguish, it began to brush .
its body and to smooth it's wings with
its hind legs. Under the gentle pres
sure of these limbs the body gradually
became extended and the extremity
curved, while the wings gradually
changed their natural position and left
the upper part of the body exposed.
Meanwhile the hind legs continued to
brush each other from aime to time.
Naturally l watched this extra ordin-
nry sight with great interest, and. in
order to see the finale. took the insect
INTO my study, where it lived an entire !
lay, spending the time al the migrate
ful task of making its own funeral
toilet"

At The Auditorium Tomorrow Night.
1t Is said that fortune has been
spent for the roast turkey dinners
used in James A. Herne's realistic pro-
duction of his great masterpiece,
"Shore Acres" The dinner served in
the second act of this backwoods idyl
is genuine New England feast and
costs on an average about eight dol
lars. AS "Shore Acres" has been
played about twenty-five hundred
times it becomes an easy matter to fig
ure out the amount of money that has
been spent in this way. Many man
ayers would long ago have prepared a
papier mache bird and used other i'm
itation articles of food, but Mr.. Herne
insists on having the genuine article
and the best that money can buy. Per-
haps you think eating turkey dinners
every day is treat for the actors,
don't you believe it. The very smell
Of this toothsome Thanksgiving fowl
satisfies them and they eat as little as
possible. The remnants make feast
for the stage hands and how they do
enjoy the annual coming of "Shore
Acres" 1t is memorable event.

We quite frequently hear of some
one undertaking to make an industry
of raising certain wild animals.
Mr.. T. l.. Borrowman, of Wyoming
Canada claims to be the owner of the
largest fox ranch in America. He has
completed the enclosure of an orchard,
consisting Of nearly five acres with
meshed woven wire fence, eight feet
in height, with another strip of 12-
inch woven wire projecting inward
and the base laid in cement The en-
tire length of the fence is 1900 feet.
Hollow logs covered with gravel form
a comfortable rendezvous for winter
quarters the object being to make
their environments as near like their
native haunts while in wild state as
possible. Two red and two black
foxes are now in the enclosure, while
two others are still kept in the original
pen. If the black and cross species
can be bred successfully the enter
prise will soon doubly remunerate Mr..
Borrowman for the large expense in
Cured as the prices of the furs us
ually range from 800 each upward,
according to quality. Mr.. Borrow
mans unique ranch is undoubtedly
the largest in the world, as it is the
only one, so far that isknown to fame.
Raising foxes on the above estimates,
would double discount the profits in
the Belgian hare industry.

INNES AND HIS BAND

Matinee, Wednesday Afternoon, Oct. 81
Bandmaster Innes has been criti-
cised for playing music too advanced
for the lay mind. Being better known
as writer of profound, rather than
frivolous music himself, it may be he
has a weakness for the classical COM
posers. But Innes is known as one of
the greatest of program makers, and
in arranging them he shows the tact of
a good business man. Without injury
to his artistic reputation he meets the
requirements Of everybody.
He has a strange hold on the music
loving masses. They listen with rapt
attention to his most classical produc-
tions while they appear Indifferent to
the same kind of music given by 9TH
ers. He seems to have learned the
art of bringing the music of the mas
ters within the understanding of even
the unmusical.
A spectacular representation of the
Anvil Chorus, with electrical effects
and red-shirted anvil beaters, will
precede or follow the Symphonic mum.
ber it is true, but the Classic will sure
ly have its allotted place on his pro-
gramme.
Innes will be here with his band on
Wednesday afternoon October 31st,
(Matinee only.) He brings several
fine vocal artists with him, notably
Signora Noldi, Miss Frances Boyden,
Alberti, Zerni, Vernon, Xanten and
other Grand Opera artists of similar
standing, who will be heard in scenes
from "Fause." Seats on sale at Gates

HOLE IN THE GROUND"
Wednesday Night, Oct. 81.
The scene of "a Hole in the Ground"
which comes to the Auditorium next
Wednesday evening, is laid in an out
of-the-way railroad station where a
number of passengers and others
while away few hours while waiting
for late train. This Is the scene of
the play. 1t gives Hoyt an idea, and
he knows how to elaborate it probably
as well or better than any other dra-
matte artist in the country He has
had plenty of experience in travelling
through "one night stand" railway
towns, and stores all these experiences
in his capacious storehouse. With his
happy facility for exaggerating little
things, Mr.. Hoyt has in "A Hole in the
Ground" completed comedy whose
fine points will not only be appreciated
by the travelling public, but also by the
people who stay at home, for the play
easily explains itself. Seats on sale at

Stories Of pets and queer animals
are always most interesting. Here is
one from Maine:
Johnston Reed, of Ingleside, has a
pet coon. He captured the animal
last May, and has brought it up on a
bottle. 1t will take the nursing bot
tie between its fore paws, sit up on its
launches and suck the nipple as well
as a child could do 1t follows him
like dog, and when alarmed will
scamper up to his shoulder, where it
seems to feel safe.

To the lover of fruits the present
year is a most liberal one. Natures
bounty in 1900 has been shown by her
lavish gifts of fruit, and the year will
be memorable in this regard. All
summer, fruit was cheap and plentiful,
and as the peach season ended grapes
and apples, as good as ever eaten and
at prices to place them within the
reach Of the poorest people, came into
the market. Now it is asserted that
the same conditions will obtain in the
chief winter fruit, oranges. Reports
from California are that the supply is
enormous and prices are low. Usually
a dismal tale comes from Florida of
the failure of the crop there. Not so
this year. The Florida orange crop
is unique, like this years peach crop
in Michigan and Delaware. 1t has not
failed. 1t is announced that the yield
will be 100000 boxes, which is great
er than for many years.

truth of it, that if in the spring the

Some Observations.

The Federation convention to which
the women of Marietta had so long
looked forward is now but memory.
The memory of it may not be so small,
however, for it will doubtless be re-
membered by the visitors to the Fed.
GRAFTON as well as by our own people.
The women from all parts of Ohio,
who were our guests, could not have
been otherwise than favorably i'm
pressed, both with our city and with
our people. We hope, too, that those
who were here will always hear the
name of Marietta mentioned with
pleasant memories.
