real charm that protected us was the 81

lyzed the natives who heard it as did the
Sirens of old the listening Greeks. With
that song in their ears they could not
shoot straight. The few opportunities
they had to rob our dead or despoil pris-

Nearly every native wears a charm
blessed by the priest, suspended on his
breast by string around his neck This
generally consists of a little cloth bag
In which he carries his cedula, showing
that he has paid his personal tax and is
permitted to travel. On the face of the
bag is engraved device, generally the
picture of a saint and some Latin maxim.
OF course, the practice of wearing these
charms is more common with the women
than the men, and many of them wear
rosaries and crucifxes also, from the
cheapest wooden beads to hne porcelain
and jet.
When we left San Francisco the Red
Cross Society gave every man an Identi.

Of half dollar, on which to put his
name and organization, and to be sus-
pended about the neck with q string. The
Bilipinos saw these and took it for grant.

WOMEN FENCE WITH MEN.

the Innovation Spreads.

An altogether unique event in the
fencing world, which is now so rapidly
extending it's limits in London, took
place the other day, when for the first
time men and women devotees of the
art met on an equal footing with the
foils.
The affair was brought about
through a special invitation from the
Ladies' Fencing club to leading fem
GERS of the sterner sex to cross swords
with them at an at home at Queens.

successful and at the same time a very
amusing event it proved.
The idea carried out was that Of a
bal masque, the fencing mask suggest

sued from any man to any woman for
bout with foi]s.
On the polished floor were laid six
strips of lino]eum, with a little heap
of resin at each end. On each strip
two comba tants faced each other.
So eager were the men that there
were not enough ladies, to 20 round, SO
each woman fencer was speedily en-
gagged several deep. For the entire
duration of the at home never less than
six couples held the floor. so, though
the ladies looked as if they enjoyed
the exercise, it may be guessed that
they had fatiguing time.

Henry Hills, agent for the Colonial

their idle sons to work, but will en-

is at last waking up. The introduction,
of electric traction, both surface and;
underground, threatens to drive from

That this feeling has infected invest
ors is shown by the figure at which
the stock of the London General Omni-
bus company is quoted. Last year
it was PIG. To-day the price is 100.
London Road company shares have
fallen from 1925 to 1912. {,

London Road company more than 49,

OF about five per cent. over the figures
for 1899, and it is safe to prophesy
that next years figures will show a
similar increase.
1t is this vast amount of traffic that
the electric roads hope to divert, and
the stock exchange is discounting the
future with vengeance by reducing
the value of the omnibus companies

THE proposition to kbond for the
building of new court house does
not meet with unanimous approval,
many taxpayers writing protests
against the expenditure. One of
these letters is from G. L. Raymond
of Washington, D. c., who says he
has been trying to sell his Duluth
property for some time, and thinks
his inability to dispose of same is
that people are distrustful of the
wisdom or honesty of the county
officials in charge of the collection
and expenditure of money. 1t must
be CALLING to these officials to find
how their reputation has travelled.
DURING the late municipal cam
paign in Duluth the News Tribune
used lot of more or less valua BILE
space in exalting the reform work
of the Hugo administration, and
the great degree of moral cleanli-
ness attained during his first term
of office. But in strange contrast
are the series of articles these days
recounting the experiences of the
unwary lurnberjack with Bowery
grafters and trials of swamp angels
from St. Croix avenue in the police
court. Can it be that the "reform"
was not lasting one, or are we to
judge that the community upon
which Mr.. Hugo has practiced his
virtues for two years was such a
rotten fabric at the beginning of
his reign that he found it a physi-
cal impossibility to elevate the city
to a status of decency in so short a
time.
