Sketch Of Aguinaldc.
Selected

selected.
- Aguinaldo was born 81 years ago in
the village of linus, near Cavite, Luzon.
His father was planter. When quite
young Aguinaldo was sent to the col
lege of st. Jean de Latern. Afterward
he entered the University Of st. Thorn
as, Manila, where he completed his
course of studies, including Spanish,
Latin, physics, metaphysics, theology
jurisprudence, law and medicine.
In 1893 he joined the Philippine
league, organized by DR.. Rial. He
was suspected by the Spanish as being
one of the leaders of a revolutionary
movement and an officer was sent to
arrest him.
Aguinaldo shot the Spanish officer
and advised his companions to strike
for liberty. Thus he became the leader
Of the instruction against Spanish
authority in the islands. Aguinaldo
was in Hong Kong en- route to Paris to
raise money for the revolution when
Dewey was ordered to capture or de-
stroy the Spanish fleet at Manila. He
returned to the Philippines on one Of
Dewey's ships. He was allowed to
take no part in the fight that resulted
in the capture OF Manila, and finding
later that the United States intended
to hold the island, he turned his guns
upon the American forces which had
been landed in Luzon.

The Undue DISTINCTION Of two Amer
lean Families.

Joe Mitchell Chapple in The National Magazine
for April.
The Harrison family, like tie Adams
family O. Massachusetts,, on its illus
trious genealogical tree carries the
names OF one signer of the Declaration
of Independence and two Presidents OF
the United States; and IN this record
the Adamses ard the HarrisOns
stand apart in class by themselves.
These distinctions in one family, it
can be noted, will meyer again be
caualied. It remains unique in the
history of the country.
Colonel Harrison is thus referred to
by John Adams ''The General him
self (Washington) had chosen, for his
private confidential correspondent, a
member from Virginia, Harrison, who
was still counted among the cold par
ty. This was an indolent, luxurious
gentleman, of no use in Congress or
committee, but a great embarrassment
to both. He was represented to be a
kind of cornerstone in which the two
walls of party met in Virginia. He
was descended from one of the most
ancient and distinguished families in
Virginia. Harrison courted Hancock
and some other of our colleagues. But
we had a majority and gave ourselves
no uneasiness about their little in
trjgues."
