private: at Tannan from the fight at
Balangiga, where over 40 men of Com

were at first reported to have escaped,
were killed with the majority, of the
company. The troops were attacked
while unprepared by 400 bolomen, of
whom the Americans killed about 40.
Many of the soldiers were killed in
their quarters before they had time to
grasp their rifles. -

scene Of the disaster and will person

There are two distinct ln1u

new styles: one for long, straight
skirts. without many rutt1es and
furbelows. the other against

will prevail.
A new and dainty touch is in
the use of lace insertions finish

Another new touch is in the
use of mouSseline de sole IN

A Scathing Rebuke.

At mass meeting IN the
Secord Presbyterian church,
Portsmouth, O., on a recent Sab
bath afternoon, in the presence
of over 200 men, a converted
gambler and ex saloonkeeper
made the following statement,
which has created a profound
impression, and herewith trans
NIT it to your paper that it may
do good in a wider sphere:
I" have been in the saloon
business. with a gambling room
attached, for the last four years,
and claim 10 know something
about what am now going to
tell you. do not believe that
the gam bling den is nearly so
dangerous, nor does 1t do any
thing like the same amount OF
harm as the social card party IN
the home. | give this as NY
reason. In the gambling room
the windows are closed tight,
the curtains are pulled down:
everything is conducts d secretly
for fear of detection, and none
but gam blers, as a rule. enter
there, while at the party all have
access to the game, children are
permitted to watch it. young
people are invited 20 partake IN
it. 1t is made attractive and
alluring by giving prizes. serv>
ing refreshments and adding
high social enjoyments. For my
part, never could see the dit
ferance between plying tor
piece of silver nodded in the
shape of money and silver mold
ed in the snaps OF a cup or
thimbe. The principle is the
same, and whenever property
changes hands over the luck OF
the cards, no matter how small
is the value of the prize, l be-
lieve it is gam bling. Have you
ever thought of it? Where do
all the gamblers come from?
They are not taught in the
gambling den. A "greene1.
unless he is a fool, never enters
gambling hell, because he
knows that he will be Heeced
out of everything he possesses
in less than fifteen minutes. He
has learned some where else De-
fore he sets foot inside Of such a
place. W hen he has played III
the parlor, III the social game OF
the ho e. and has become pro
6cient enough to win prizes
among his friends, the next step
with him IS TO seek ON. the
