Manila, Jan. 10-Reports from the movements
Of the American commanders south of Manila
show that General Bates and General Wheaton
are at Perez das Marinas. and General Schwan
at Slang. all awaiting the arrival of provision
wagons. Reconnaissance have shown that two
thousand armed insurgents have retired to the

the coast from Noveleta toward Batangas.
Last night Nolan's squadron of the 18th Cav
airy drove body of insurgents from Maig One
American was killed and two were wounded.
Thirteen dead Filpros were found.
The movement largely resembles General
Schwans experiences in the same country, ex-
cept that the towns now being garrisoned
and that the insurgents refuse to fight, retreat

with the apparent intention of reassembling
later The plan of catching a large number be-

insurgents have been killed, but comparatively

half of the Roman Church and the brotherhOOds

and the brotherhoods in the Philippines should
be recognized; that the Roman Catechism should
be taught in the primary schools; that the eX
listing religious orders should continue to admin
lister the parishes; that other parishes should be
esta blished under the control. and that the
narocnial control of cemeteries should continue
He also LAYS stress in mis- contentious upon the
Importance of allowing the Church to admins
Ter its own affairs without State interference
upon the necessity of regime that will guaran-
tee the liberty of the Church, upon the desirable
ity Of European clergy. the establishment Of a
new college for the instruction Of native priests
and the continuation of indirect contributions
for the maintenance of churches and clergy and
upon the expediency of maintaining the system
of parochiaI fees including revenues from births,
marriages. funerals. dispensations and apostolic
indulgences.
In addition, Archbishop Nozaleda advocates
the continuation of the Church's control of pawn
sbons and certain designated hospitals and
schools together with the establishment OF a

She Got the Autogranh.

At meeting Of an autograph socie-
ty, composed of young women, in Chi
cago one particular celebrity who had
remained obdurate to all requests for
his signature was almost unanimously
voted to be "mean old thing"
The one girl who had not concurred
in the general condemnation asserted
that the others did not know how to
manage this particular lion. ''Fll show
you" she declared, and forthwith
wrote and mailed to the celebrity a re-
quest composed of only two words
They were, Autograph, please"
At the next regular meeting the girl
appeared triumphantly waving a sheet
of letter paper over her head. 1t was
the reply Of the celebrity. He seemed
reproachful. All he wrote was, "You
must be pressed for time," with his
signature following. - San Francisco

OUR STORM CENTERS.
Nine of Them Rnd Their Products All
Love New England.

Love New England.
United States storms, according to
/ Professor Bigelow, have nine average
| places of generation. The great ma
| jority form in Alberta, north of Mon.
tana, and after coming into the United
States travel eastward. few come
in over the north Pacific coast. A
third group forms on the northern
Rocky Mountain plateau. A fourth
forms in Colorado, being born on the
very high mountainous elevations. A
fifth forms in the Texas lowlands and
catching the gulf winds and moisture
moves eastward. West Indian hurri
canes form the sixth class. The south
Atlantic coast storms make up the
seventh class. Storms which come ir
from the Pacific on the southwest form
the eighth, and finally a class of minoI
storms is generated in our central val
leyS.
Some or these storms come across the
Pacific from the Asian coast and, after
sweeping across the country, go ou1
over the Atlantic to Europe and ever
to Asia again, but there is no record
of a storm having circumnavigated the
globe. But, no matter where these
storms are generated, they always con
verge toward New England. New Eng
land, in fact, seems to be the stormiesr
spot in the United States. A record OF
ten years ending with 1898 shows
LIB storms, all of which headed to
ward, and most of which reached, New
England.
The forecaster must consider the gen
eral configuration of the country il

Cause and Comment says that an in

of man who had been drowned in the

One of LOndon's most famous streets
is Piccadilly, which consists of shops

name is said to have been derived from
gallants of James l and Charles l. the
stiffened points of which resembled
spear heads or pickadills. Some years
before the Introduction of these collars,
however, 'Piccadille" is referred to,
and it is surmised that the collar may
have been SO called from being worn

TROUBLES THAT DO NOT COME.

OF the hard and weary loads
Meath which we bend and fall
The troubles that do not come
Are the heaviest ones of all.
For grief that cuts like a knife
There's oil of comfort and cure,
And the land which binds the weight
Brings strength and grace to endure.
But to phantoms of pain and woe
The lips OF Pity are dumb,
And there's never oil or wine
For troubles that do not come.
There's song to Tighten the toll
And a staff for climbing the height,
But never an alpenstock
For the hills that are ought of sight.
There are bitter herbs enough
In the trimming cup of today
Without the sprig of rue
From tomorrow's unknown way.
Then take the meal that is spread
And go with a song on thy way
And let not the morrow shade
The sunshine and Joy of today
