THE place was in an uproar in an

He had killed King with the first stab.

NO LEADERS HALF-BREEDS.
Aguinaldo and His Fellows of Pure
Tagalo Blood.

Another vituperative fashion is re-
vealed in such phrases as 'half-breed
leaders and half-caste rebellion.
These epithets are sometimes supple
mented with gossip about somebody S
maternal grandfather but they most
ly disregard facts. During the past
generation many rich Chinese have
traded in Manila, and they have
earned or purchased social recognition
for themselves and education for their
descendants. Doubtless some of the
professional and commercial classes
mentioned above might acknowledge
traces Of Chinese descent among their
members. But no leader of the Fill
pinos is in any strict sense half-breed.
or the two classes of metizos, those Of
Spanish and of Chinese strain, the
former have been made a privileged
class, and have rarely preferred the
race of their mothers. Mestizos de
Sangley mix with native families, but
the crosses soon become indistinguish
able from the Tagalo or aboriginal
stock.
Malay and 'Tagalog' have also been
found convenient labels of ethnolog-
zeal contempt and the Spanish chron-
iclers also wrote of the 'Tagalo insur-
rection,' and branded that branch Of
the Filipinos as semi-human monsters.
This trick has the inconvenience of dis
torting fact and causing miscalcula-
tons of force and endurance. An emil
nent English traveller, Mr.. w. G.. Pal
grave, compared the Tagalo with his
neighbors, the Ilocan and Visayan. and
found him distinguished above all
others for energy of character and
other admirable qualities. Moreover,
1t is easy to compass deceit by exag-
gerating the tradition of hostility pc
tween the natives of different PROV
inces. This appeared when certain
journals in Manila chose to call the To-
cal revolutionary government at Iloilo
the Visayan Republic in spite of the
terms Of the native proclamation.

ALLEGED CURE FOR CANCER
The X-Ray Used With Success at a
California Hospital.

After suffering from cancer of the
FACE for 20 years DR.. j. M. Selfridge,
the founder of the Fabiola Hospital,
Oakland, has been almost completely
cured by the X-rays. Last October
DR.. Selfridge began experimenting
with the X-rays in conjunction with
his son, DR.. G. NJ. Selfridge, and DR..
N. III. Chamberlain. So successful
has been the trial that numbers of
other sifferers have taken the same
remedy and have met with like as
tonisf 'ug relief.
AS far as the trial has gone, 1t
seems that a check has been discover
ed for the dread cancer scourge. DR..
Selfridge was led to begin the ex-
periments by noting the powerful ir-
rltating effect of the X-ray on healthy
skin. He conceived the idea that the
cathode ray might dry up and heal
the cancerous tissue. So he made a
face mask of thin sheets OF lead and
allowed only small aperture over
the cancer. He was placed on an
operating table ana MS lace covered
with the mask, the cancerous wound
only being exposed to the action OF
| the ray.
The experiment was begun after
the Doctor had vainly tried every
remedy that surgery could devise
Beneficial results were noted at once
and the cancer began to dry up. Now
1t is entirely healed, only a scar re-
naming to show where the sore was
| for so many years.
The doctors at Fabiola are trying
the cure on other cancer patients and
are getting encouraging results

FILIPINO NATIVE RULE.

"Of the origin and Affiliations Of this
class 1t is sufficient to note that no
Spaniard or Spanish mestizo Chalf
caste) could be chosen to any municipal
Office or admitted to the electorate.
Only natives or Chinese mestizos were
eligible, and they had to be solvent
taxpayers, able to speak and write
Spanish. The exclusion of Spanish ele-
ments from the principalia seems TO
have been due from the traditional mol
Icy OF cherishing division among the
colonists, also to the persistence of the
friars in resisting the advent of those
who might become their rivals in no.
litical intrigue or Industrial enterprise
Besides the modest educational
qualification, there was a tendency to
limit the choice OF municipal officers to
men OF property. who were thus ex
posed to penalties for any deficiency in
the financial returns from their wards.
Moreover, no legitimate compensation
was allowed for men charged with the
onerous dutie sof tax gathering. Nat
urally, there was disposition to avoid
these burdens or to arrange for Illicit
gains to cover wages and insurance. To
carry out such schemes, it was neces-
sary to secure the consent of the parish
priest or friar. and a system of con-
certed division seems to have been the
general operation, whereby all esti-
mates of population are Initiated. All
Official classes, Spanish and native,
shared In this tolerated corruption. The
promptness with which the municipal
captains Joined the insurrection may
be attributed to the natural resentment
for the irritations and humilations Of
this situation.
The duties of these petty governors
were thus defined In their commission:
10 ala the friar in enforcing attend
ance at mass and submission to the
church; to suppress drunkenness ana
scandalous conduct; to compel the viii
layers to follow trades and to tend
crops and raise cattle; to keep roads I'm
repair; to exercise judicial functions
In petty cases: to collect taxes from all
natives and Chinese. Practically. this
last was the only function of impor-
lance In 1894 the instructions were
modified, and someseffort was made to
secure responsibility by restricting the
dependence of native magistrates upon
the VIII OF the friars. The clericals and
conservatives resisted this reform and
prevented 1t from booming effective
which does not hinder them from at
tributing the revolt OF 1896 to this at
tempt at reformation. "--Ainslee's.

HOW DAVE KING LOST HIS LIFE.
He Worked Costly Trick on Fiery
French Dealer

I'm 1887 Helena, Mont, was over
run by shoal of sure thing gamblers.
The streets were crowded nightly and
every game from the old time shell to
the photograph sale was reaping a rich
harvest" said Col. William f. Cody.
I'm one gambling house a short faro
game had been started and attracted a
great deal of attention. In short faro
the dealer runs out six cards backs up
from the box, placing them face down
ward on the table When all bets have
been made the dealer pulls from the
box the seventh card and turns its face
upward. Then ne turns up each of the
six cards upon which he had invited
bets. II the dealers card is higher
than the better's card the bank wins.
If the better's card Is higher than the
one turned by the dealer the bette.
wins.
IF, however, there Is a tie. !. g.. the
dealer turns the same card that the bet
ter had placed his money on, the bank
wins. But in such case the player has
the option Of losing his money or he
can have another chance the next hand
round IL he will double his bet. This
process can be continued as long as the
better is willing to double the stakes
bettor is willingto double his stakes.
IL he wins he gets paid in full, IL he
loses the bank gets all.
1T was while playing at this game
that Dave King lost his life in June.
1887. King had been living in the min
ing camps at Marysville for couple Of
years. He was one OF the best gamblers
In the west. He looked, however. like
typical miner, as wearing soft gray
nat, blue flannel shirt, trousers tucked
In his boots, he strolled in where this
short faro game was being played. Az
ter watching the game for a few min
utes King began to play, placing 81
bills rolled into ball on the cards. He
won amost every time and always
called for his pay In bills. Soon. how
ever, another player at the opposite end
OF the table had begun to double his
stakes, and the dealer was giving his
attention to the high better. King
didn't get excited, but continued to
make an occasional bet. always with
VI bill rolled into wad. The dealer in
paying would pick up 81 bill and
pass 1t across to King. This hsd been
going on for perhaps half an hour, when
the dealer again tossed soiled 81 bill
to King In payment, as the dealer
thought, OF a 81 bet.
Come again. said King to the
dealer, Look at that bet
The dealer, q slight built, black eyed
nervous Frenchman, leaned over and
unrolled Kings bet. As he did so ne
saw that he had been tricked. A crisp
yellow $1,000 note rolled out OF the
dirty 81 bill. King had won 81 .o01. The
dealer was white with rage. There
was no limit TO the game, and King

hare on account of it's size, which is
equal to that of the English hare. the

that of its Belgian relative, and both
