THE WAR is OVER.

An exchange says: A plot to
slaughter the American troops at Car
biga, on the island of Samar, in the Phil
ippines, was discovered in time Satur-
day to Illustrate it. The old party liars
are still declaring that the war is over
in the Philippines.
A Manila special under Sunday
date says: Owing to the vigilance Of
Lieut.. Thomas M. Banes, Jr., of the
Ninth United States infantry, another
slaughter of American troops by insur-
gents has been averted. Lieut.. Banes
discovered a prisoner re-entering a
cell at Carbiga, island of Samar, where
several were confined, through hole
that had been let in the wall. An in:
vestigation showed a plan to fill the
Jail with bolo men and to call the
guard, which would be necessary to
get the door open, and then to attack
the garrison. 1t also developed that
the instigators were priest and the
presidente, both of whom have been
arrested, together with several other
prominent persons.
Other attempts have been discovered,
but fortunately frustrated at Pambu-
jan and other points in Samar. Sew
eral persons have been arrested in con-
nection with these.
Reinforcements are being rushed to
Samar. Three hundred and thirty
marines have gone there on board the
United States cruiser New York, and
two battalions of the Twelfth infantry
will start Immediately for the same des-
tination.
United States officers from other
provinces that were supposed to be
paciied have recently arrived in Mani
la, and they say that the news of Ameri-
can disasters spreads like wildfre
among the natives, who scarcely at
tempt to conceal their delight.
We wonder if Bryan is till melting
to riot these unruly Filipinos. Possibly
Edward Atkinson or Senator Hoar
have been sending more anti-literature
to the Pacific islands.

Arrests.

There is . true, old-fashioned dime
novel boy living out in Arizona. He
makes the most wonderful arrests, and
is known all around that locality as
the youngest officer of the peace in the
United States. He lives at Congress,
and is Richard Boscha, the 14-year-old
son of Deputy Sheriff Boscha, who
has been deputy sheriff Of Yavapal
county. Ariz., for 20 years, and il q
very fearless and worthy officer, says
the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Richard is q small boy for his age,
but he inherits the fearlessness of his
father. He has deep black hair and
eyes and his face 10 most intelligent.
Not long ago he came to Phoenix,
bringing with him the 16-year-old son
of a county officer who had fallen so
deeply in love with the Coon town 400"
that he had run away with the organ
ization. When the young peace OFF,
Ger was asked whether the young
man was glad to 60 back home, he
smiled and said:
"No; he did not want to come, but
there was no way out Of it for him."
Young Mr.. Boscha's abilities a. an
officer of the. peace first came into no.
tice about year ago by the arrest of
a Mexican for whom the officers had
been looking for long time. He and
another Mexican had fought a duel
because of their mutual love Of pref
ty Mexican girl, and the duel was in
tended to be deadly. One of the duel
lists was wounded and the other left
the country. Officers hunted every
where for him, but he could not be
found.
Some months afterward Richard
Boscha, then only 10 years Of age,
found the duelist and at the point of
q gun took him into camp.

The best way in which to send your
subscription money is by postofflce
money order or by registered letter.
One or the other can be obtained at
every postofice in the United States.
Express money orders are also cheap
and convenient from the larger places.
Bank bills sent in ordinary letters, while
commonly safe enough, are occasional
ly lost; hence, subscribers so sending
must remember that they do so at their
own risk.
In changing the address to which a
paper is to be mailed, it is absolutely
necessary that the subscriber should
give his old as we'll as the new ad-
dress. Otherwise the change cannot be
made.
The receipt of subscription money is
always acknowledged by the change of
expiration on the address label. No
other receipt is necessary. If this
change of date is not made within two
weeks from the time the money was
sent, inquiry should then be made by
the subscriber.
STOPPING THE PAPER-The
publisher must be notified in writing
when the subscriber wishes the paper
stopped. Returning paper or refusing
to take it from your postmaster will
not answer.
The law is that every newspaper sub
scriber is held responsible until all ar
rearages are paid, and then the paper
may be ordered discontinued.
In order to reduce complaints to the
minimum in future, we desire to ask the
following questions:
Does your paper come regularly?
Is your name correctly spelled on our

SOME GOOD SIGNS,
Teeth, DoRO and Thumbs Furnish on
Index to the Character Of
People.

Teeth that are long and not narrow
denote large, liberal views, strong pas
sions, and heroic virtues. If they are
long and narrow, a weak character is
denoted. Long noses are cautious and
prudent; short ones impulsive; and
tip-tilted ones hopeful, impulsive and
joyous. Deep-colored eyes, with we'll
arched lids, both upper and lower, show
truthful and affectionate nature. An
eyebrow slightly curling at the outer
edge indicates jealous nature.
If the apex Of the ear lies close to
the head the owner possesses q refined
nature. But if the top starts away
from the head at a well-defned angle
that person has an uneven disposition,
and is not to be relied upon.
If girls thumb lies fiat or droops
a little, marital submission to the mas
ter mind is indicated. II the thumb has
a tendency to stand at right angles to
the hand, the damsel owning it is head
strong.
A strong character has q strong,
erect thumb. Fingers which bend back
ward mean powerful determination.
If they are round, strength, both phys
ical and mental, is indicated.

SYDNEY AN ORANGE MART.

lA Kent.

Australia has one of the most suit
able orange growing districts Of the
world. What apple culture is in Eng
land that of the orange is in New
South Wales, the Parramatta district,
near Sydney, being to Australia what
Kent, with its countless luxuriant
orchards, is to the United Kingdom.
The scenery of the Parramatta river
is not unlike that Of the Thames
above Richmond, only more romantic
and beautiful, especially during
springtime, when the wonderful pro-
fusion of wild flowers imparts an adj
dtional charm to the picture. Even
the masses of rock, which in many
places rise boldly from the edges Of
the stream, are decked with bright
colored clusters Of Australian native
flowers Of the most lovely and varied
description.
The trees also claim . large share
of admiration not only from the lover
of the beautiful in nature, but also
from the utilitarian, for they include
the orange, with its bright green foil
age and dainty white flowers or rich
golden fruit both seen on the tree
at one and the same time. The orange
is not only a picturesque adjunct to
the garden, but also more than re-
pays the trouble and cost of cultiva-
ton. In the Parramatta district rich
and luscious oranges are ~ plentiful
as blackberries in an English country
lane during the autumn time.

BOAT r0wED BY KIrIs.
Recent Ouoooseful ExperlnenA q -
11voR No0ello -
H.: France. .rssNd1

Since the kite has entered into the
domain of science, it has been greatly
perfected. The aim has been to give
it considerable ascensional force and
great stability, so that it may be used
to carry into the air apparatus used
in meteorology and photography
without fear Of disastrous fall. But
hitherto little has been done to utilize
its force of tradition, which may b.
considerable if it il given sufficient
height. Recently, however, says Co.'S
mos, experiments in this direction
have been made on the Moselle by .
man who, having flown . Malay kite
two meters (six and one-half feet)
in length, caused it to tow against .
somewhat swift current . boat hold
ing six persons. The wind was quite
strong, and it was very easy to in
crease the force of traction by flying
several kites. Those of the Hargrave
system would, perhaps, be the best
since one of this kind having height
of IA meters flour and one-half feet)
can scarcely be held by two men,
when enough cord has been paid out.
The retaining cable must possess
great strength, especially if it is to
hold several kites, or the tractive
force may rupture it.
1t is evident that in this original
mode of locomotion the direction of
the wind plays an important part, for
if the angie that it makes with the
watercourse exceeds As or so degrees.
the boat is hard to steer, and moves
slowly. Nevertheless this method of
seeking q continuous current of air
at q certain height is of the greatest
simplicity. If it is not used, the reA-
son is doubtless that it has been
thought that not enough force would
be developed by it. Still, the results
already obtained are interesting.

NO BEGGARS IN LOMBARDY.
The Northern Province OF Italy II
Fruitful and Has No Men
Alcants

To the tourist through Italy the con-
trast between the north and south
provinces in the matter of beggary
along the streets and highways has
often been remarked. There is little
or no begging in northern Italy, as
there is in Naples. In the southern
part of the peninsula the people are
mixed with the scum of the levant. In
the north the country is agriculturally
rich and there are no crop failures
The irrigation system is so good and
the water from the mountains so
plentiful that the plains Of Lombardy
are delight to the eye. The people
are q business people, serious, self
contained and self-respecting. The
south lives of what the tourists spend,
the Month lives on their business.
The average tourist stays in Naples,
including Pompeii, Vesuvius, Sorrento,
Amalf ten days; Rome two weeks,
Florence five or seven days, Venice
four, Genoa one and Milan one or
three. Tourists generally do not see
Turin, and Milan and Turin gave me
a distinct pleasure. The big opera
house of Milan, known as La Scala, has
been very little used of late years. It
belongs to the past. Regulations were
made there formerly, but not now.
