A REMARKABLE STORY.

Sundays New York World prints story
that needs confirmation. 1t is, in effect,
that Aguinaldo. during the last presiden-
tial campaign, sent two agents to Mr..
Bryan with instructions to say to him
that the Philippine insurgents would sur
render Internationally in the event of his
election, and offering him a campaign
contribution of $4,000 Mr.. Bryan, so the
story goes, refused to see them, but final-
ly sent a friend 70 find out what the r
errand was. At first they refused to ha We
any communication with this friend, but
being told that they would not be able
to see Mr.. Bryan they presented their
an could not entertain their offer, that he
would have no communication whatever
with men who represented those who
were in arms against the United States
They were greatly surprised, and it was
with difficulty that they could be made
to understand that Mr.. Bryan was not
the sort of a man to enter into an un-
Outstanding with the enemies OF his coun-
try.
The foregoing story will have to be sup
ported by statement from MIR. Bryan,
or some one authorized to speak for him,
before it win be generally accepted. There
may be some truth In it. but the chances
are there isn't. If there is, Mr.. Bryan
ought to give the entire story in his paper.
If there isn't. he will hardly make any
reference TO it.
Aguinaldo must have been pretty well
supplied with money II he was willing TO
put up 100000 to help elect Mr.. Bryan.
He would like TO have that amount Of
money now. Besides, he must have had a
very poor opinion OF Mr.. Bryan IL he
thought the latter would receive his
agents or accept his proposition. The
story makes good reading. but it sounds
like hard-up-for-news-stor from
Washington.

A yELLow FEvER VACCINE.

Two doctors are now in New York. Drs.
Angel Bellanzagh and Felipe Caldas,
frcm Rio Grande do Sui. Brazil, who Gain
to have a vaccine that will render per-
sons immune to yellow fever. and a
lymph which will cure those suffering
from that fever. They are so confident
that their remedies viii do what they
claim FOR them that they want commit
tees from the army, and navy, and the
health boards of the Gulf States to ac-
company them to Cuba, where they pro-
pose TO make tests.
Unfortunately for them, but fortunately
for strangers in Cuba. there does not
seem to be much fever in that island just
now, and, it is certain that as much as
remedy for yellow fever is desired no
one hopes that the fever will ever appear
there again so that the ambitious doctors
can have a. chance to show that their
remedy will do all they claim for H..
DR.. Bellanzagbi is quite a young man,
a native of Italy, who studied with Pas
teur in Paris. He has been experiment.
ing with yellow fever serums for num-
Der of years. and so has DR.. Caldas.
Last October the former went to Veru
Cruz, Mexico and, it is said. had won
derful success in dealing with yellow
fever with his serum. 1t is alleged that
he cured one man, an American, who was
suffering from the fever and was given
up to die.
What these doctors want is the indorse-
ment of the United States government If
they succeed in doing what they say they
are able to do. They appear to be willing
to submit their serum to any test to
which the United States government
wants to put it. They cannot do any
more than that.
Very little has been heard recently of
the mosquito theory as the means by
which yellow fever is transmitted from
one person to another. Medical men of
the army are responsible for that theory,
Probably the visit Of the Brazilian doc
tors will revive the discussion of it.
There is certainly a good deal of anxiety
to find out all there is to know about
the way in which the fever is spread. AS
far as laymen are concerned, there ap-
pears to be some facts connected with
the spread of the disease which the mos
quito theory does not explain.
The government can afford to spend
very considerable amount of money to
test the question as to whether or not the
Brazilian doctors have a preventive. and
cure for yellow fever. The robbing Of that
disease of its terrors would be worth mil
hons of dollars to this country. In fact,
a very large part of the world outside of
the United States would rejoice over the
discovery of a cure for yellow fever.

The Chinese minister here is one of
the least known of the Diplomatic Corps.
as far as 1.-The man in the street" is con-
oerned, but he is very popular in the cir
cles in which he lives, says a Paris cor
respondent in London M. A. p. The
fancy dress fete recently given at the
legation in Avenue Hoche was one of
the society events of the season. In the
course of the evening the minister dis
cussed the situation in China with a few
friends.
Il am reminded" he said, "of one of
the stories in little collection of anus
ing tales and jokes called in our coun-
try 'Tcsi-Pao' CThe Family Treasure),
published in 1907, in the reign of King
Chi. A certain man. who was reputed
TO have much wealth. was attacked one
day by a robber, who cried out:
Hand me over all your money or /
will kill you
''Ts'ai-mi. for that was his name. re-
fused to give the money. and thereupon
the robber seized him and belabored him
without mercy.
Now. he cried again at length, when
tired OF beating his victim, will you give
me the money!
Let us examine the question: return
ed Tsai-mi between his groans. You
have half killed me. Would 1t not be
fair TO take only half my money!
Now" concluded the minister that is
the state of affairs in Chinal''

nIsAPPoINTEp RELATIVES.

A lot of disappointed relatives were
those who gathered at the funeral of
Jacob H. Rogers in Paterson, N. j., the
other day, The. most of, them were poor,
and those who were not were in only
comfortable circunsta nces. They went
to the funeral expecting that they had
been made comparatively rich by Mr..
Rogers death. The will was read within
half an hour after the funeral was over,
and 1t was discovered that the great
bulk of the estate-in fact, seven
eighths of twas left to the Metropoli-
tan Museum of Art in New York City.
That institution will get a sum estimated
to be anywhere from $55Oo.0OO to $s,000.OOO.
One relative, a nephew, got something
more than 100000, but the others got
only moderate sums. Nothing was said
by the disappointed ones at the time
of the reading of the will. but it is said
that the expressions of their faces dndi-
Gated the condition Of their feelings
The executor says it is foregone con-
cllsion that there will be contest Of
the will ON the ground that Mr.. Rog-
rnade dt. 1t is true. of course, that he
was a rather eccentric individual, but 1t
would be difficult. from all accounts, to
find any one whose testimony is worth
anything who is of the opinion that the
testator, although well along in years
was not fully capable of taking care of
all matters of buiness pertaining to his
vast estate.
MIR. Rogers was not on very good terms
with any of his relatives, except the
nephew to whom he left 500. o00-that is,
he did not encourage them to visit him.
1t is probable that, he treated them po-
lbtely when they called at his house, but
his manner towards them did not encour-
age them to repeat their visits. He had
an idea that 1t was not a good thing
to give money to individuals. He be-
lieved that such gifts had a tendency
to discourage thrift Therefore he de-
cided long before his death that ne
would not burden his relatives with his
wealth-would not spoil the futures OF
the younger ones of them. Besides, his
observation led him to believe that wealth
bestowed upon relatives was not produc-
tive Of gratitude.
For several years before his death he
had virtually made up his mind to give
the bulk OF his fortune TO the Museum
of Art. In fact. he had the charter
of that institution so changed that 1t
could accept donations. II Is now the
most richly endowed institution of the
kind in the world. or will be when Il
gets the Rogers millions.

The Steel-Engraying Lady sat by the
open easement. upon which rested one
slender arm, says Caroline Ticknor in
the Atlantic. Her drapery sleeve fell
back revealing the alabaster whiteness
of her hand and wrist. Her glossy, abun-
dant hair was smoothly drawn over her
ears, and one rose nestled in the coil of
her dark locks.
Suddenly a heavy step was heard upon
the stair. A slight blush mantled the
Steel-Engraving Lady's cheek.
Can that be Reginald?" she said.
The door flew open, and on the thresh-
old stood the Gibson Girl.

The Gibson Girl dropped into a low
chair, and crossed one knee over the

room, whistling meanwhile a snatch from
the last comic opera. She wore a short
skirt and heavy square-toed shoes,
mannish collar, cravat and vest, and
broad-brimmed felt hat tipped jauntily
upon one side.
She started quite fxedly at the fair
occupant of the apartment, who could
with difficulty conceal her evident an

When the sun set the steel-Engraving
Lady might have been seen again seated
beside the open easement. Her taper fin
gers lightly touched the strings of her
guitar as she hummed a low lullaby. Once
more she heard a step upon the stair, and
once again the color mantled her dam
