Bridegroon's Fatal indiseretion.

A queer case of cannbalism is re-
ported as having recently taken place
in the Solomon island. The Jeannette
took from Noumoa a Kanalta who had
acted as orderly to the immigration
office there and was on his honeymoon
with his wife, intending to land at
Aoba, where his wife's tribe lives. He,
however, made the mistake of disem-
barking among the wrong tribe and
was at once seized by the natives, over
powered, killed and eaten. The widow
was provided by the tribe with Sec

Ticket in His Mouth.

The spectacle Of the absent-mindad
man frantically going through his
pockets in a vain search for his trans
fer ticket while that valuable sky-blue
document dropped gracefully beneath
his mustache was hugely enjoyed by
the passengers OF an uptown car the
other evening, says the New York
Commercial Advertiser. Even the
stolid conductor caught the joke and

the sturdy farmers boy from Great
Darlington, who had made no effort
to secure the coveted honor.
At any rate Marshall Newell stood
high in the estimation Of the class OF
'94, ample evidence Of which is given
in the erection OF the memorial gate to
Soldiers Field, a photograph Of which
has been reproduced for this article.
The gate was erected soon after the
big Yale-Harvard football game, Many
a graduate Of Harvard undoubtedly
has been reminded Of the sterling
ern end of the state by observing that
gate.
The gate is the gift Of the class of
'94, in whose memories recOlectiOns of
Marshall Newell will long continue
undimmed. Newell was a living proof
of the fact that personal qualities count
at Harvard. He came to the uni
versity from a farm, though in the
interim between farm and college he
had prepared at Exeter academy. But
he was first of all a farmers son, and
when he went home on vacations he
went to farm and worked on q farm.
Entering Exeter a puny little fellow
he went at physical training with that
force of purpose which was one of his
chief characteristics. When he came
to Harvard college he approached
physical perfection. In his freshman
year he became a member of the
Varsity football eleven, and continued

Few men there were in the class Of
1894 at Harvard who did not find some
thing admirable in Marshall Newell's

class election his name was mentioned
for the second Office in the gift of the
class, Second Marshall, the spontan-

gave expression to its admiration of
him must have wonderfully pleased

According to a late dispatch from the Philippines an American force of
 thirty men the other
 SICK-EM, day fought 300 insurg-
 TIGE. onts for two hours, and
 finally defeated them, infiicting heavy losses and suffering none. There would have been nothing remarkable about this episode, if It were not that the American force, so called, consisted of native scouts, un- der a single officer from the UiIi.ed States. That fact is full of significance and encouragement-exce for Don Emilio Aguinaldo and his friends, brown and white. If service under all American officer makes one Filipino the superior in fighting efficiency to ten under native leadership, and if re- crults for such service are to be se- cured with no particular difficulty-as seems to be the case-then the subju- gation of the islands is far from hope less, but ought, on the contrary, to be accomplished with reasonable prompt ness and at no great expense. The creation of considerable body of na- tive troops under the new flag will serve a double purpCse-it will turn to legitimate use a part of the now very troublesome reluctance of the militant rebels to return to the dull pursuits of peace, and it will be most effectual in eXtinguishing that reluctance in the minds of the other militant rebels. Thus all of them will be kept out of mischief, and peace will descend upon the island for thc first time in their recorded history.
