as every one is crazy over the way the
insurgents treated the 44th volunteers.


Maya, February "a, 1901.
received your letters of December
81 and January 8 on Wednesday and
was awfully glad to get them and to
hear from home once more. Have
just returned from trip into the
mountains with Capt Evans. We re-
ceived word that one of the inSurgent
generals was in hut about 10 miles
from here sick with a fever. The
sergeant detailed to go was taken sick
at the last minute so volunteered to
go in his place, having nothing to do
until Monday. We left here at 10 p.
NJ. and marched until p. m, then
rested until daylight, then pushed on
toward the place where the general
was supposed to be. We finally reach
ed the hut and surrounded it but there
was no one in it, although it had been
used by someone who had left in a
hurry, judging from the way things
had been thrown around. They prob
ably saw us coming and escaped. We
started back to camp. How 1 wished
for a railroad and good New Eng
land train. On the way back we cap
tured two insurgents armed with
bolOs and took them back to camp
with us. am very tired tonight,
not having had wink of sleep for 40
hours, to say nothing of 3O-mile
march. How l should have enjoyed

and to, young men; told of their COM
ing to the city; told of their tempta
tiOns: followed out their lives; gave
advice that was so good and so true
that the captain was for the first time
really interested in the matter Of DR.
Talmadge's sermon. So he went again
and again, but still without any per-
Sonal concern whatever for religion.
1t was now the time of revival. The
captains wife went with him to an
evening meeting. Some one came to
question him in his seat, but he put
the questioner off by saying that he
had no use for prayers, and they had
better go on to some one that needed
them. He went again, and this time,
when opportunity to rise for prayers
was given, he was determined not to
stand, and he put his hands under his
seat and held on to it. The next even
ing he was again at the meeting, &C
companied by his wife and his niece.
There was the usual opportunity, and
the usual effort to get those who had
any feeling or desire, to rise for prayer.
The niece was talked with, and then
the captain was seen, and told that
the young lady would rise if her Uncle
Lewis would. The captain said he
would do it. He was not afraid to rise;
and he stood up. When he had taken
his seat, helper in the revival, who
had been gambler, [ think, hard
character in London, a man who SEEM
ed to understand the captains state of
mind pretty well and who had met
him before, came to him, and after a
few words, asked him if he wouldn't
prayiwi,h him. The captain said he
couldn't pray; didn't know how to
pray. ''Well, said his friend, twill you
follow me, repeating what I say?"
Yes, was the reply. They then
knelt, and the friend began: 'Lord
Jesus, have mercy on me, this was
repeated by Capt P.-''and forgive my
SINS" This was not repeated, and
the captain fell to the floor. His
strength had gone and he soon discov-
cred that he was totally blind. He re-
manned so for some minutes, and when
at length the darkness began to pass
away, he saw, as he explained, what
seemed two great lights, as if they had
been the sun and the moon. There
had now come over him a sudden and
wonderful change. After he got home
he had great desire to read the Bible
He mentioned some of the chapters of
the New Testament that he read. It
was all SO interesting that he could not
put the book down. 1t was O'Clock
in the morning when his wife spoke to
him of the time of night, as he was
still standing and reading, 1 think,
the 18th Chapter of John.
The captains conversion soon be-
came known among his old associates.
1t was the time that Ingersoll was
lecturing. Capt Pennington had been
interested in the lectures. Two Of
these sea captains met Capt Penning-
ton and handed him a copy of Inger-
soils last utterance and wanted him
to read it, at the same time speaking
of it as something to be met, and diff
cult to get around. The captain told
them they might bring as many such
lectures as they could and he would
answer them from the New Testament.
These are the chief points of Capt

BEN FOULOIs IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Maya, Cebu, P. l.,
February IL, 1901.
l received a joyful surprise to-day,
my Christmas box. 1t certainly was a
surprise as had given up all hopes of
ever getting it. It seems that it with
several others had been overlooked
when the Fitzpatrick arrived and it
has been in Cebu ever since. 1t did
not arrive so late after all, as it's just
one year to-day that got the other
one. I am sorry to say the apples
were spoiled but no damage done. Six
of us have just finished the fruit cakes
and we will probably be sick all night,
but told the boys to come to me if
they were sick and I would give them
some medicine to cure them. 1 don't
know how to thank you for such a
splendid box but I certainly am very
grateful for it. Thank It. D. B. for
the apples and tell him I am sorry I
did not have chance to try them. I
have turned all the papers and books
over to the company library" so that
every one can have chance to read
them and you may be sure they will
be we'll read. We have been having
quite lot of excitement for the last
week or two. The insurgents from
the surrounding islands have been
flocking to this island and there has
been several fights in different parts of
the island. We received word of a
fight near Sogod between a part of
Company Of our regiment and band
of 300 insurgents. There were only 16
soldiers all told. They drove the in.
surgents back several times, but after
they had used up almost all their am
munition they had to retreat, but
they took their dead and wounded
with them. They had one killed and
three wounded. One of the wounded
is not expected to live. We shall
probably start out for business soon
and make the island too hot for the
insurgents and prisoners will be scarce

Pennington's story. I could not re-
peat it all, if I would. Yet what I
have written, as far as it goes, is a
pretty faithful representation of what
we listened to. AS to the exact words
Of the prayer which the captain was
to repeat 1 cannot be sure; but they
were as brief as those I have given and
were similar in meaning.
Not long after his conversion, the
captain sailed out of port into a fog
which did not lift for day and half,
or two days. He was off the coast, and,
in spite Of his most careful reckoning,
he was uncertain of his location and
was very anxious. He was going from
his room to the pilot house, loaded
with concern, when something like a
voice seemed to say to him: "Why all
this worry and anxiety? Haven't you
now friend that you can trust?" In
moment, he said, the load was lifted,
and he went into the pilot house., not
only hopeful, but confident. He told
the pilots or mates there, that they
would soon be out of the fog, and all
would be right with them. They did
not know how to take such an asser
ton, and at once called his attention
to evidence of increasing fog; but
said the captain, it was not two min
utes before there were two streaks OF
lightning-no thunder-which broke
the fog and they were soon in the oper
day.
Again, speaking of a prayer, the cap
tain stated that when he was aroused
from his sleep by the discovery of tn
Comanche fire, he rose from his be-
and dressed as quickly as possible
praying as he did so. And again, h
said to an interviewer, after his recen
arrival in Brooklyn, when telling o
the moments of great danger, "Out
spoken prayers were frequent, and the
were not altogether confined to tn
passengers, but we, of the crew, ha
to fight as we'll as pray"
Much more could be said, and man
incidents related of Capt Pennington
life, showing him to be man of IT
markab]e experience, and one VIII
practically trusts in God.
Among things notable, brought gu
at the praise meeting, anda matter {
remark on board, was the prayer of
boy of six who was travelling with hi
mother. In the hour of extremity b
was on his knees, most earnestly p'
titioning for his mother, but quit
forgetting himself.

The 1t is announced that Presi-
Presidents dent Mckinley, with the
Trip. members Of the Cabinet,
is to take six weeks trip commence
ing on April 80, and that they will visit
nearly half of the states and terri
tories of the nation. There will be a
special train and it will run to Texas
and the Pacific states and come back
to Duluth, Mimi, from which place
the company will go by boat to visit

Carnegle's Andrew Carnegie is said
Gifts. to have given away more
money than any man who ever lived.
Just before he left for Europe he ar
ranged to dispense thiry-six million
dollars for libraries and the disabled
veterans of the steel works and for a
technical institute. One of his fam
Gus sayings is that it is shame for a
man to die rich and he is carrying out
his proposition. Evidently the old
Scotchman has found out that sit is
more blessed to give than to receive"
Taxes The idea that there
After Death. should be an inheritance
tax is growing and the value of it is
becoming more and more manifest. If
the Gilman property over which the
heirs are making such fight down
Bridgeport way proves to be as large
as reported, it will bring large amount
of money into the State treasury as
well as furnish fat lawyers fees. There
is no question but that the rich evade
large share of their just taxes while
living. 1t is but fair that when they
die the estate should be made. to dis
gorge some of this wealth to pay for
past protection. The poor man and
the average farmer pays more than his
fair share Of the expenses of the gov
eminent.
Life The government has recent
Saving ly published the report on
Service. the Life Saving Service of the
United States for the year ending
with June 30, 1900. From this we
learn that there are 260 stations and
that last year out of over $50 vessels
that needed help over 300 of them
were saved. Some nine million dollars
worth of property was in peril and of
this amount over seven million dollars
worth was saved. There is large
amount of heroiSm displayed in this
sort of work and on the great lakes
and in the sea coast brave men are
ready to venture life and limb to save
their brethren of the sea in time of
storm. 1t is a great and beneicent
work.
