How Mrs. Aguinoldo looks.

3 The rev Americans who have called
upon Agulnaldo's wife in Gale San Jose
nave found a good-looking Filipino
woman OF about thirty years, clad in
the graceful dress OF the Islanders, and
resembling thousands of less promi-
nent race sisters. She Is better-lookinS.
from the Filipino standpoint than from
ours; she Is plump, pleasant-faced, and
TO her countrymen distinctly attrac-
tive. She viii not talk Spanish with a
foreigner; It is said she can speak this
language, but does not care TO do so.
To hold converse with her 1t Is neces-
sary to enlist the services of Taga-
log interpreter. .E

the appearance OF woman who has
suffered much. nor Is the term OF un-
happiness yet past. Her eyes. with
their expression of sadness and dejec-
ton, show her distress OF mind. For
this there is due cause. says Harpcrs
liazar. Her husband Is probably n
fugitive, hiding in the mountains, and
every day lessons his chances of ultI-
mate pardon. He may be dead; II

rest of mankind wonder. how many
Of this audience IRE aware that up to
1890 the United States paid tribute to
Algiers to, secure immunity for our sail
ors and commerce from the Algerian
corsalrs. The reason we did not pay
tribute after that date was because In
that year France began to expand oyer
Alglers. War followed. and lasted a
number Of years, and there were fool
ish people who then wrote In praise of
Algerian Independence Just exactly as
there are foolish people now who talk
about -AlSrlnaldlan independence. But
Westinghouse, the first for many cen
turtles, came to AlGieTs through the
French conquest, as 1t will come to the
Philippines through our refusal to
abandon the Islands. So Russia has
advanced over Turkestan and brought
peace in her train. So 1t Is good thing
for Germany to- begin TO play her part
abroad, and the'patriotlc way In which
the German people have upheld the
German policy OF building n navy and
seeing that Germany's citizens are
protected and Germany's trade rights
throughout the world guaranteed. Of
fers an excellent Lesson to us here. The
expansion of q ,civlllzcd people means
not war but peace. Until we had eX-
banded over this country, the border
warfare between the.white man and the
red man and among the different tribes
Of red men was uncaasing, but now
that we have expanded. peace has come
exactly as peace has been brought to
Algiers. to Turkestan and the Soudan
by the great peoples Of Europe.
This is an Important Election.
This election Is more important than
any that-this country has seen. save
only the election OF 81, and we have the
right to appeal to every man worthy to
call. himself a good citizen, that he shall

He Got Information.

A man who does not take his home
paper, but occasionally answers advertise
ments in ''story papers" has had some
interesting experiences, says an exchange.
He learned that by sending one dollar
to Yankee he could get cure for drunk
enness. Sure enough he did. 1t was to
"take the pledge ana keep it".
Later on he sent fifty two-cent stamps
to tiud out how to raise turnips success
fully. He found out--"Just take hold of
the tops and pull"
Being young he wished to- marry, and
sent thirty four one-cent stamps to a
Chicago firm for information as to how to
make an impression. When the answer
came 1t read: "Sit down on pan of
dough-" That was a little rough, but he
was a patient man, and thought he would
yet succeed.
The next advertisement he answered
read, "How to double your money in six
months" He WAS told TO convert his
money into bills, fold them, aud he would
see his money doubled.
The next time he sent for twelve useful
household articles, and got package OF
needles.
He was SLOW to learn, so he sent dollar
to find out chow to get rich"-"Work
like the devil and never spend cent"
That stopped him, but his brother wrote
to find out how to writes letter without
pen or ink. He was told to use a lead
pencil. He paid five dollars to learn how
to live without work, and was told on a
postal card, sto fish for suckers as we do"

mining company, OF which something
was heard OF In Ellsworth last week. DIR.
Abbott is now on Myrtle creek, Alaska.
His sister, Mrs. Julia Newman, OF Tre-
mont, recently received letter from him,
In which he speaks OF some Of the COM
pany's claims. The letter was written
Nov. 1, mailed at Circle City Dec. 6, and
reached fremont Jan. II. He says:
ave got our steamer into winter quarters
about Sept. 8. and hearing there was much
trouble over our claims the creek where our
property is situated, took another man In
polling boat, with our outfit OF clothes and pro-
visions. and started on trip to our mines. about
eighty miles further up river. On arrival there
found everything quiet. However we had
moved thousand pounds of freight to its-des
tination. SO | did not regret the trip. / re-.
turned here last week on the Ice, and am wait.
Ing for the rest Of the men to come in and begin
to move our supplies to the mines. This viii
be done on dog teams, and will take four men
all winter. The rest of the party will prospect
the claims and prepare to take out gold In the
spring as soon rs the ground thaws.
1--WE getting lots of partridses and rab-
bits. have had a chance to read copy of the
Boston Globe of January and April, so know
there has been war with Spain. 1t began
showing here about Sept Is, and has showed
little every day since, so now one can hardly
get about without snowshoes. All our men are

In a letter to his father, W. N. Abbott,
of fremont, written Aug. q, DR.. Abbott
says:
1.-THE claims on Myrtle creek. where gold was
discovered by our boys last spring, are turning
out rich. One claim that has been worked more
than any other Is estimated to be worth from
$4,000 to $4,000. We have eight claims on
the same creek"
DIR. Abbott writes that he will come out
next year, as he is anxious to return to
his practice, although at first 1t was re-
lief to be free from the care OF sick peo-
nile.
