Noticing a young woman who or
dlnarlly was neatly dressed coming
out in some very fine gowns for
street wear, I asked an acquaintance,
says a Cincinnati Commercial Trib-
une writer, why the change to such
fine raiment, had she come into an
inheritance? No, not at all. She was
to be married, but the treacherous
man slipped out just in time to save
the dear girl much future misery.
And now she is wearing the robes
which were to have decked the bride.
She is to be congratulated. She will
have but brief period to mourn.

Owe M u it. A writer for the
Cincinnati CONNER
cial Tribune gives
the following pertinent instance: At
one time l was treasurer of the church
trustees, and had the temporal affairs
IN my hands. During my incumben cy
dealt with minister who never asked
lot money, who never for eight years
ever asked me thing bout the money
affairs. At one time l spoke to him
about it, and he told me an experience
something out of the ordinary "In

there were but two, it was sufficient.
At the end of the year, however, my
wife and myself found, after taking an
account of stock, that we were in debt
to several Of the little stores in sums
that aggregated say $50. TO both of
US at the same time there came the
injunction: Owe no man anything

The Philadelphia Record relates that
a pigtail party was given in his studio
p,u.u the other night by
an artist from the
west. The arriv-
ing guests were very curious to know
what on earth this sort of party is,
and they found it to be one whereat
the tails of pigs are the main dish of
the supper. AS accessories there were
served of course sauerkraut, sausages.
cheese, pretzels and beer; but the de-
licious pigtails lOrded it easily over
their neighbors. They were fried, and
each guest found he could eat dozen
without difficulty. "In ST. Louis" the
artist said, "pigtails are as common
an article of food as pigs feet or beef
steak. Every butcher has them on
sale, and they cost about 20 cents a
dozen. Here in the east they seem
to be unknown. l had great deal of
trouble to get these that you are eat
ing tonight, and had to order them
two weeks in advance" Several men
got the recipe for their cooking, and
said they would leave standing orders
for pigtails with their butchers.

far more in proportion to the magnitude of

credited with receiving in this instance.
1T is simply a question of ability. Mr..
Morgan has the ability to not only form
the combines, but TO make them a success.
Mr.. Morgan does more than promote the
trust: he also protects the stock. He is paid
in stock. but that, in a Morgan corporation,
is practically SO much cash, because he pro-
tects the stock and makes the company a
success. Take, for instance, the American
Tin Can Company. Had the promoters been
able TO protect the stock. see how much
more valuable their services would have
been to the holders Of the stock thar they
were. The combined stock was III at the
time of the formation OF the company, and
it is now less than 60. If il had been a Nor

at III or Whereabouts. 1 do not believe that

He described the assistance rendered by
the FilipinOs 10 the United States army
when il first landed at Manila, and said
that on account of their diverting the fire
OF the Spaniards the resistance to the

the atrocities by the Filipinos which had
become so common and of convincing thou

General Macarthur expressed the opinion
that the rebellion against Spain did not
have independence for its object. THE
FilipinOs simply wanted the same rights
that Spaniards had at home" said the wit
ness, but the Instruction against the
United States became a demand for indie

Before leaving Manila General Macarthur
said he had a conversation with Aguinaldo.
who told him that he had been misinformed
as to the character of the American people
and the purposes of the American govern
ment. Aguinaldo also had told him it would
be impossible at this stage of their evolu-
ton for his own people TO establish a
stable. Independent government. The state
ment was voluntary, he said, and caused
him to revise his views about Aguinaldo,
and after he got TO know him he attached
considerable weight TO what he said. Re-
spending TO a question by Senator Rawlins,
he said Aguinaldo was at the time of the
conversation a qualified prisoner" but
that there was no coercion or duress re-
sorted TO to exact the statement.
Senator Rawlins appealed 10 the chair for
a decision as to the competency of this
testimony, claiming that 1t was ex parte
and from hearsay and that Aguinaldo
should be brought here TO testify, but he
was overruled.
The committee in secret session at this
point considered the question whether steps
should be taken TO secure the attendance
of Major Gardener in advance of the ar
rival of that officers regiment. 1t was
stated that the regiment would not leave
the Philippines until about the 1st Of June,
and members of the committee were appre-
hensive that before the major could reach
Washington, II he accompanied his regi-
ment, Congress would adjourn. The COM
mittee decided not TO issue a eremptory
summons for his attendance at the earliest
date, as desired. but to ask the secretary

MACARTHUR AGAIN A WITNESS.


WASHINGTON. May 1.-Major General
Macarthur to-day continued his testimony
before the Senate committee on the Philip
pines. Answering a question by Senator
Culberson, the general stated that Agui-
naldo and the Filipino people were justified
in concluding that the actions of the United
States army were sympathetic. The Fill
pinos. he said. were In r~esentful and vindic-
tive opposition TO Spain. and any active
force on their part against Spain naturally
helped the United States, and vice versa.
but he said there was a distinct purpose
through the intercourse between the Ameri-
cans and the Ftlipinos 10 repudiate the
idea OF direct cooperation which in a way
committed the United States TO a policy.
General Merritt, he said. was under the
s~trictest orders not to commit the govern
ment. but Aguinaldo was anxious 10 make
an artificial record which would oblige
General Merritt 10 do something ne did not
want 10 DO. The Filipino" said General
