WARM THE PHILIPPINES.
A Soldier Describes Some OF The
Scenes Witnessed There.

Thomas w. Jones, private In Troop
g, 18th. Cavalry, Z, s. v, writing
from Santa Cruz, Philippine Islands.
TO his brother Georee Jones, In Wash
ington, -. c., under date or June ~,
describes d massacre OF Fiiipinos In
which he took part on June 18th and
which he relates as quite in the line
of his ordinary duties. He tells how
60 members of his regiment were or
dered out to kill or capture a famous
Filipino General. known 20 be living
in the neighborhood, After some
rough scouting, the Generals house
was located and the Americans crawl
ed through the underbrush until they
secured positions but few yar1s dis
tant. Then they discovered that
they had unwittingly CHANGED upon
a wedding. There was large crowd
present to take part in the festivities
Most OF them, OF course, were women
and children, but there were about
rs men present who were armed
The Americans were ordered to fire q
volley from ambush and then charge;
which they did with terrible results.
sThe scene that resulted was hor-
rible, writes Private Jones. ION
the ground near the house lay the
body OF the bride, whose brains rad
been blown out. The groom, who
had received bullet In the stomach,
was lying near by in dying condi-
tion. Twelve of the Filipinos had
been killed and about the same num-
Der wounded. An elderly woman was
shot through the leg and a little
child had her arm shot of. But,
adds Private Jones cheerfully, I'VE
got the old General all right and We
burned the Insurgent'sq quarters before
we left"
This is the kind OF imperial civili-
zation this Administration Is pattern
ally bringing to the Filipinos; and
probably Jones letter Is not an unfair

great government is waging against

crime is their love Of liberty In furth-

TERRIFIC STORM.
Worst Ever Known Experience
ed On Friday Night.

Of The Storm.
The worst rain, wind and hailstorm
on record visited this section on Fri
day night about midnight. For more
than an hour the storm ragged and
while the destruction wrought was
very great it is almost remarkable
that it was no worse.
The lightning was very severe but
few places were struck. The wind
unroofed house on the avenue near
the University and damaged the in
terror somewhat. 1t blew down a
barn belonging to Sheriff Garrison
and blew hundreds of trees down over
the county.
Water rushed down the streets like
rivers and many houses were flooded.
Mr.. Gregg, Adam Bower, A. j. Hare
and DR.. Casselberry suffered most
damage on Main street In Gregg's
the carpets were ruined. The cellars
were flooded along the street.
On Front street James Kennedy
was flooded while several other houses
in the neighborhood received damage.
A stone wall along the old tan lot on
Bumbo Lane was partially torn down
by the water. The wall at the end
of the big sewer below the railroad
bridge was washed out.
Several holes were left in Front
street and an Italian FIRMLY near the
wharf had to leave their home on ac-
count of the thrush of the flood.
People coming in from the country
report terrific damage. Blacksville
people coming to the convention had
to leave the road in many places on
account Of trees blocking it. The
bridge at Granville had the floor
washed out by water running along
the road and into the bridge.
Up the river the storm was worse
than it was in town and the hail was
particularly severe. Corn was riddled
by the bail stones and the crop will
amount to little or nothing. Whole
fields were blown flat by the wind and
buried by mud and water
Timber is down in every direction
and fruit trees are denuded of their
crop. The rain lasted for more than
an hour and was the heaviest ever
known. On every hand are to be
seen evidences of the storms fury.
Electric light and telephone wires are
tangled in every direction. The
plant had to shut down to prevent
the whole thing from being burntout
AS it was a number of fuses burned
up by the force of the wind blowing
the gas against the sides Of the glass.
WORSE IN oILFIELD.
People coming in from Mount Nor
ris and vicinity report that the storm
over there was much worse than it
was nearer town. Oliver Lemley had
fully five hundred large trees blown
down on his place. There were but
two rigs standing in the section where
he lives. All the rest were down.
d. Z. Donley had six steers killed by
lightning. a short time ago he lost
several head by the same cause.
Charles Howell near Ridgedale re-
ports that his locust grove is destroy
ed More than one hundred trees
were blown down. His fences were
also destroyed. The Kingwood road
is washed until it is impossible.
At Laurel Point the damage was
very great. Trees block the road in a
number of places above there and the
road is washed badly.

MONKS AND MONKEYS.

Ancient Metropolis of Amber Given
Over to Friars and Simians.
Mrs. Clara Erskine Clement describes
IN part a visit to the ancient city Of
Amber, in India. which Is inhabited
only by few priests and thousands OF
monkeys. Elephants from the stables
of the maharajah of Jeypore conveyed
her party. The hill on which the Oil
city stands is surrounded by other high
hills, crowned with towers and ram
parts and covered with trees. The great
castle fortress stands out boldly. The
old zenana, or womanS apartments-an
extensive block of buildings. surround.
ed by court-is the Only place which
is inhabited. This is a well populated
and lively quarter, since a tribe of Ian
guor or hoonoomaun monkeys have
taken possession and dwell here in com
fort and freedom. The HndoOs relig-
iously refrain from hurting or killing
any animal, and the monkeys, having
no fear, are monarchs of all they
choose to take.
The hoOnoOmaun, or languor, is the
sacred monkey, and the largest found
in India. Its height is from two and
half to four feet; it's body is singularly
slender and supple; its face is black and
smooth, except for long white whiskeIs;
the hair on the body is gray on the
back and white under the stomach; its
tail is long and bare, with single tuft
of hair on the end. The Hindoos have
legend which explains it's very black
face. 1t says that ages ago Hoonoo-
maun, the king of the monkeys, went to
assist Rama in the conquest of Ceylon.
The demon king of the island had car.
ried off Lita, the wife of Rama, and he
was determined to rescue her AS they
came near to the island HoonOomaun
easily leaped over the straits, so skillful
jumper was he, and, finding Lita, he
was comforting her with the news that
her husband was approaching, when
Ravana, the demon king, appeared and
made Hoonoomaun prisoner After set
ting fire to the monkeys long tail he
gave him his freedom, that he might
return to Rama. Hoonoomaun succeed
ed in blowing out the fire at the end of
his tail, but in so doing he blackened
his face and singed his hair in a most
unbecoming fashion. The loss Of his
beauty so saddened the poor beast that
Rama made all the monkeys of his
kind kalamoukh, or black-faced which
they remain to this day.-St. Nicholas.

JOY the performance. He was late and
she rose to let him pass. He wanted to
see man after the first act and she
was compelled to rise again to let him
out. This byplay occurred a third time
when he had seen the man. Then the
second act was reeled off and the big
man found it necessary to go out again.
Fourth rise for the lady. Then she made
the fifth ascension as he struggled in
when the third act-the most exciting
of the play-was we'll under way.
Some faint glimmering Of propriety
penetrated his intellect. He paused
just before completing his clumsy
evolution.
II beg your pardon" he muttered.
Then he plunged on and smashed the
hat, already badly battered out Of all
original semblance to itself, tore off
few more spangles and twisted his
frame through to where his seat was.
II hope you will not mention it," said
the girl sweetly as she resumed her
seat and arranged things. "Please
don't mention it. | enjoy it so much"
She delivered the words in a cultivat-
ed voice, to be sure, but she elevated
that same voice so that her words were
heard some half dozen rows back of
her. The fat man gasped, fell into his
seat and mopped his face. He sat in
that seat until the end of the play,
gazing fixedly at a small window in
the set as If fascinated. The red ex-
panded well back on his neck as he lis
tened to the twitter Of laughter and
comment Of others on the byplay. A
round Of applause following the girls
speech only tended to make him more
miserable.

An Ininlitable Feat.

The sailors of three men-o'-war-
American, French and Britlsh-whlle
in the same harbor were competing
with each other for the best display of
seamanshlp. A Yankee went to the top
of the mainmast and stood there with
an arm extended. A Frenchman then
went aloft and extended both arms.
An Irishman on board the British
ship thought If he could stand there
with a leg and an arm extended he
would be declared the most daring
sailor. Nlmbly he mounted to the
highest point and attempted to do so,
but at the last moment lost his bal
ance and fell through the rigging to-
ward the deck.
The various ropes against which he
came in contact broke his fall, and
when near the deck he succeeded in
grasping a rope. To this he hung for
| couple of seconds, and then dropped
lightly on the deck. landing safely on
his feet.
Folding his arms triumphantly, as II
it were all in the program, he glanced
toward the rival ships and joyously eX-
claimed:

Same Idea Simultaneously.
"a man in my line Of business" said
a local attorney who makes a speciality
of patents, "has an exceptional oppor-
tunity for finding out that great minds
run in the same direction. 1t Is a re-
markable fact that fully seven-eighths
of the important mechanical appliances
of the past fifty years have been the
subject Of litigation on the ground of
priority Of invention. In almost every
instance it was clearly shown that diff
ferent people, sometimes as many as
five or six, were at work on the same
idea at the same time, each unknown
to the other. A somewhat plausible
explanation has been advanced for
these remarkable condolences" con-
tinued the lawyer. at Is, in brief, that
certain universal needs suggest similar
trains Of thought to active minds and
in searching for the best remedy they
fall insensibly into the same channel.
This Is only another way Of saying that
necessity Is the mother Of invention.
