GREAT lNSURRECTION.
"What We Are up Against"
In the Philippines.

According to late dispatches
from the Philippines there is active
instruction in Samar. Whole
island is in rebellion. Troops are
being rushed to the scene. Off
GERS are growing discouraged and
disheartened. The following dis.
patch bears upon the situations:
Washington, ID. c., Oct. - -
Considerable surprise was mani
tested by officials of the war de-
partment this morning when they
read a special from MiSsoula,
Mont, containing extracts from II
letter alleged to have been written
by Glen. Chaifee to Mai. Heath, L.
5. A., in which some very plain
language is used in regard to the
situation in the Philippines.
According to this letter, General
Chaffee takes II rather gloomy view
of affairs as they exist today in the
Islands. Among other things the
letter says:
"Gov. Taft may resign his place
at almost any time. He has not
said so i'll as many words, but the
climate is not to his liking and |
am sure he is disheartened with the
way things are going on his lines"
Some of the officials here pro.
fess to have great faith in the
present civil government so far as
it has been established, but | am
afraid it is not working well. Gov.
Taft took hold with wonderful en-
crgy, and he is Il man of remark.
able ability, but am afraid he is
almost losing courage
In dozens of places where muni-
cipal government has been estah-
liseed and placed in the hands Of
the natives, it has fallen fiat when
active American support was with
drawn. The natives are not to be
trusted; that is the chief drawback.
You ask me when, in my opin.
ion, the greater part of the troops
will be withdrawn. | wish | could
but answer you with any degree Of
deiniteness. Gen. Corbin when
he was here made the same query,
in reply he was told that the forces
could not be reduced below the
10000 level for at least five years.
| am of the opinion that number of
men or more will be required for Il
much longer time, perhaps for Il
quarter of a century. When you
consider the character of the terri
tory to be held as we'll as to the
fact that half the population is
semi-wild, with no conception of
government, you will understand
what we are up against.

Figures About Sugar.

Nor II man, woman or child in
Audrain, and the whole country,
but who is interested in the con
sumption of sugar. All want it
as cheaply as they can get it, but
are we getting it that way? We
think not. The trust is having its
way and the tariff is the other
barrier, giving the trust excuse TO
advance prices. We, like the Hon
Champ Clark, do not believe in
tariff reform. Suppose we have a
little more free trade!
Here is something from Willett
& Gray, publishers of the Week
ly Statistical Sugar Trade Jour
nal" 1t will help you a little on
figuring on the effects of the tariff;
The total consumption of sugar
in the L y last year was 2,2lG, S47
tons, and based on the average in
crease of 6.34 per cent. during the
past 10 years, the consumption
this year should be 1890, $50 tons.
OF this quantity 1000, 600 tons in
round figures will come from AM
erican sources, say Louisiana being
able to produce $50, 200 tons, Uni
ted States beet factories $50, 900,
all being free of duty, leaving
| 800, $50 tons to come from other
sources and on which duty is paid
The average duty assessed is $50
per ton, or total of $4S, 0S1 ,060.
The price of all the sugar con.
sumed, however, being enhanced to
the extent of the duty of $36 per
ton or II total of 1854, 0Sl ,0G0, it is
evident that 500, 200, 900 additional
is paid by the people in order to
provide the government with 40
millions for revenue, of which the
government is not now in need"
Willett Il Gray make the further
statement:
If the duty is taken off Cuba
sugar, the benefit of 50 millions
goes to the people. On October
Sth, the quotation for Cuba cen
trifugal sugar 9Gper cent test, free
on board Cuba was l.0Gf per Id. +,

The annual report of the lighthouse

shows that the federal government
maintains 4s5 lighthouses and lights in
piers along the great lakes. 1t oper-
ates "A steam fog whistles and eight
cen clockwork fog signals. 1t main
tains fifty-four gas buoys, four bell
buoys and 621 channel buoys. The
system requires four lighthouse ten
ders and a force Of 1000 men. The
cost OF the lighthouses, lightships and
buoys is upward of 5000, 900. and the
demands OF navigators make It neces-
sary to increase the expenditure. The

DEN FOR rYRANT MAN.
One Room In the House should Be Set
Apart for His Use.

Apart for His Use.
The claim has frequently been made
that the reason why men so often
forsake their homes for the clubs Is
bcause of the furnishings in these es-
sentially masculine abodes are more
to their liking than their own homes,
where excess of drapery and useless
furniture prevail and in the club
house they find the comfort that is
lacking at home. A protester against
the overfurnished modern home with
its windows draped with three or four
kinds of hangings and a conglomera-
tion of articles everywhere makes a
plea for the setting apart in every
house of room where the husband
and father can smoke and dream or
write or read to his hearts content
and find his den" substitute for the
beloved club. AS such room Is more
likely to be used in winter than in
summer, and particularly in the even
ing, the furnishings should be sub
dued and yet warm looking in color,
with touch of scarlet to crafty the
average mans liking for red. Ac-
cording to this protester there should
be fireplace in this ideal room, and
a corner one If possible, whose cheer.
full blaze will give special charm.
To such a fireplace brass andirons and
fender mirroring the dancing freight
are fitting accompaniment. Upon
the mantel any pretty tribes may be
arranged, for a man likes pretty
things-when not in his way. The
chairs should be comfortable Leath-
er, brown or dark red, makes the
most durable and suitable coverings
for both chairs and the indispensable
lounge. A table will be next In order;
be sure that it is Of generous proper
ton, large enough for writing upon,
for game of whist or solitaire, or
Tor magazines, papers and books,
whichever may be the individual taste
or the owner Of the room. A smokers
set should be near at hand, and
lamp to throw a good light on book
in hand, yet which will also shield
the eyes. II needed. A footrest, paper
rack, afghan, sofa pillows in goodly
number, to complete the furnishings

QUEER OCCUPATION,
Man Who Makes Money by Choosing
Hobbies for Others,


Talking about odd occupations"
said New York man to a Star repor-
ter recently, there is a man in my
town with an Office near Union Square
who has built up large and lucrative
business connection by professionally
advising all sorts and conditions of
people as to what hobby to adopt This
man is we'll informed and an excellent
judge Of human nature, and his adj
vice is always based as far as possible
on pretty aosurate knowledge OF his
customers temperament and occupa-
tion. And queer fact Ia that several
prominent city physicians have dis
covered his worth and are sending
their brain-fagged patients to him for
hobby treatment, just as they might
advise him to go to a certain dentist
for toothache. AS almost every ono
knows, there is at present a marked
fashion for hobbies Of all sorts, and to
the person who Is too busy or too lazy
TO start one for himself this hobby
merchant has become a perfect boon.
Suppose, for instance, you wish to
make a collection of old books or china,
or rare coins, stamps or curios. You
simply call at his Office one day and
leave your order. The whole thing is
conducted with the strictest confidence
and within few days or weeks you
are supplied with whatever articles
you may have chosen to collect. To
the value Of the collection the hobby
merchant adds from 10 to rs per cent
for his servicsS, according to the t!me
and difficulty he has had in procuring
any desired Article or articles"

Ten Reasons.

n lady of Hannibal won the
prize offered at the Street Fair for
the best reasons for not marrying.
The winner of the prize has not
passed the danger line and may
yet choose Il mate. Here are some
of the reasons:
was undoubtedly born too
early in life, and thus doomed to
wait for the good thing of time
and place to come along. All
have not yet come along.
Attic it be the vogue in some
countries for Queens to choose
their mates, it has been my lot,
born IA Republican, to wait being
chosen.
| was not sufficiently clairvoy-
ant to know whether man would
be a good husband and ruler, UNI
til he had assumed office, when it
would ever be too late.
In the matter of a husband, set
ting my mark high, and being ov-
er cautious, perhaps, i'll taking
an irrevocable step, | unfortunate
ly waited too long.
AS the best men seemed always
to be married men, / haven't liked
to accept a husband from the culls.
AS the number of eligible, com
panionable, self-supporting, SUI
perior men were insufficient to go
around, myself being naturally al
truistic, | have taken a laudable
pleasure in seeing my innumerable
companions in waiting, supplied.
History has, furthermore, taught
me that two generalissimos in ac-
ton commanding, unless one be Il
Napoleon, clash and bring their
army to grief, and Napoleons are
infrequent.
No one has invited me to make
him n Benedict and become his
better half.
Being law-abiding, | would not
attempt to cOerce any man into
marriage.

DOG DENTISTRY.

Fsvorits Pups May Now Have Their
Teeth Filled.
AS dogs hive teeth there is no rea-
son in the world why they shouldn't
also have toothache, and II they have
toothache, and their masters and mis-
tresses can afford It, why should not
the pets be taken to a deg dentist to
have the offending teeth filled or
drawn? In London there is dentist
who devotes himself to the dogs of
bis patrons. No amalgam filings are
put In by his handwriting in that
line but gold. He says the bulldog is
the best patient. You can pull his
Jaw off and not whimper will be
heard. On the other hand, the softest
dog Is the King Charles spaniel. These
dogs sometimes frighten themselves
into fits when the work OF drawing
tooth begins, A good deal Of the snap
ping and snarling Of puppies Is due to
their teething AS in infants OF the
human race, new teeth come and try to
push the old ones out, and sometimes
serious complications ensue. as with
babies. So the dog dentist has to take
out the old teeth and give the new
ones chance. or course, the dog
dentist is likely to be bitten. and this
one In London bears on his hands the
maks Of many refractory dogs teeth.
But these bites never cause him any
worry. He dabs vinegar and salt on
the wound and cOnsiders that this
treatment is better than cauterizing.
