THE CENTURY co.,
UNION SQUARE, NEW YORK,
BROKEN BRlC.A-BRACS.

MIR. Major, the famous cement man. of
New York, explains some very inlerestin.
, facts about Ma jOr's Cement.
The mu!titudeS who use this stan Gard ar
ticle know that ii is many hundred per
cent. better than other dement's for which
similar claims are made. hut II great mary
do not know why The simple reason is
that Mr.. Major Uses the best materials
ever discovered and other manufacturers
ito not use them, because they are too eX-
pensive and do not allow large profits. Mr..
Major tells us that one of the elements of
his cement costs - 10 pound, and an
other costs s2.G5 4 gallon, while large
glue upon the mar ket are nothing more
than s:Xteen-cent glue. dissolved in water
or citric acid and III some cases. altered
slightly in color and odor by the addition
of cheap and useless materials.
Maj ui's cement retails at fifteen and
twenty-five cents II bottle. and when II
dealer tries to sell II substitute you can de-
pend upon it that his only object is to make
larger profit.
The profit on Majors cement is as much
us any dealer ought to mi k. on any cement.
And this is doubly true in view of the fact
that each dealer gets his share of the lene-
fit of MIR Majors advertising. which now
amounts to over $4,000 Il month. throughout
the country Estab ished in 1876.
Insist on having Majors. Don't accept
any off -hahd advice from II druggist.

THE COST OF EXPANSION.

Careful figuring shows that the
Philippine Islands up to date have
cost the people of the United States
in money just about $IS6,67S,ooo.
This is not the final cost, for the
account is still running at the rate of
about $500, 900 day. The amount
thus figured includes the $40, 900, 900
paid Spain for the fiction of "sov-
ereignty," the cost of the several
commissions and of administration
in Manila as we'll as of the actual
fighting. The price in money is
surely rather high for job lot of
Asiatic islands which we would not
have taken us a gift from Spain in
1897.
But the money cost is only small
part of the price of expansion. OF
our troops in the Philippines, 400
have died, about one-fourth killed in
action, the rest from disease Cen
eral MacArthur's last report gives
s. deaths in the week July Is to
Aug. :, inclusive. And at that time
there were 1896 sick, 1855 in the
hospitals and 1851 in quarantine.
Many have been returned home in
shattered health, many insane.-Bos-

Cuban revenues is deferred until
after the election--if they are ever to

threat that he would "pull down the
pillars of the temple if the prosecu-
ton was too severe in his case seems
to have amounted to something, but,
whatever the reason may be this lit

the other two, but each Insisted that

the judge exclaimed. well, u you
threc men cannot come to some agree
hrnt nothing remains for mo but to
order that the woman shall be killed,
Ms there is no other way IN which the
matter can be satisfactorily settled
He then called for large cup OF wine,

the woman to drink II. Excited lis she
was. the woman speedily began to feel
the effect OF the strong liquor. She
stammercd when she tried to speak,
and her flushed checks were M indicn
tion to the observers that the poison
was working and that her end was
near Mt hand,
This WAS the climax for which the
Judge had waited. When he saw that
the womaa was apparently dying. he
called one of the three men who claim
cd her rs wife and hadr him remove
her from the courtroom. This man,
however, showed no inclination te--do
so. and tie judge thelrupon insisted
that he renounce al rights 10 her. This
H. willingly did and 40 did the second
man. Only one claimant was now left,
and he agreed to remove the woman
and to care for her until she died. Sat
istied that he was her real husband,
the judge called him and said: you
will not be sorry for acting in this
manner. Have no fear for your wife,
since she Is in no danger of death. The
liquor which she has drunk was ordi-
nary wine. and the powder which l
poured into 1t was nothing but brown
