Information About the Philippines.

The pronouncing gazetteer and geo.
graphical dictionary of the Philippine
islands, with maps, charts and illus
trations, which was prepared in the
Bureau of Insular Affairs of the War
Department, has just been issued, and
contains a wealth of information con-
cerning our Oriental possessions. The
gazetteer proper contains 264 pages.
including the index, while the geo.
graphical dictionary occupies 66S
pages, exclusive of the maps, charts
and illustrations.
When Dewey's brilliant victory
awoke national interest in the Phil
ippines, the obtainable literature in
English on the subject was meager,
much of it was old and almost out of
print, while the Spanish works were
to be found in but few libraries, so
that the work of obtaining complete
and accurate information of the is
lands, their geography, resources. his
tory, ETC., has been a very difficult
one. Requests already received for
the edition exceed the limit ordered
by Congress to be printed.

Luxuries of Prosperity.

Almost no traveller from a foreign

that are palaces, feasts that are fire.

almost to stagger the imagination,

no longer to excite much coz ment.-

Ingenious Ministers Furnish Material
for Two Good Stories.
The Rev. DR.. Parkin in his address
before the Ministerial Union at With
erspoon hall, on Monday, told two
good stories, says the Philadelphia
Telegraph. The first was of young
minister in the coal regions who had
an impediment in his speech. He
tried many remedies, without avail,
till, at last, after saving a goodly pro-
PORTION of his salary by denying him
eelf the comforts of life, he came to
Philadelphia to Je cured. because he
bad heard that there were so many
''speak-easies" here.
The other was a minister whose
education in business matters had
been sadly neglected. He had a small
charge also, and eked out a living
by writing for the papers. One day
he received a check for SIS, made pay
able to his order. He took it to the
local bank. and, handing it in, was
told to indorse it. He hesitated a
moment, and then, taking up the pre-.
cious document, wrote on the back;
Il heartily indorse this check"

ROMANCE OF A FAMOUS DANCER
WorId-Renowne TagIIonl Dies in a
Philadelphia Almshouse.
From the Philadelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press.
The once famous and petted Taglioni,
the Incompatible dancer and tightrope
walker died some days ago in Phila-
delphia almshouse without disclosing her
mate Of the institution, and the romance
of her LIE was brought to light by the
visit of a French nobleman.
Taglioni's family name was Beranger.
She was the daughter of Letetro de Ber-
anger, colonel of the Veille Garde of Ma
poeon I, and was born at Rouen. Nor
mandy, In 1924 Her parents came to this
country while she was child and set
tied In New Orleans where she made her
debut on the American stage. While still
had the honor of being invited to Queen
Victoria's palace to perform her wonder
full feats before the royal family.
It was Taglioni's great boast in her
old age that she sat several times on
the knees Of the then youthful Queen
of Great Britain. She also won the ap-
plause and admiration of the Emperor of
Germany, who pronounced her the most
graceful creature he had ever seen.
Mile Beranger later Travelled with a
manager. and before completing her teens
had acquired a large fortune. At the
age Of 20 she again visited America, and
here fell in love with and married Col.
Andrew Parker a wealthy merchant of
Savannah During the civil war she ac-
complished the most wonderful feats to
aid the confederate army, and at one
time rescued her husband from prison by
Disgusting herself as a peasant boy. At
the age of 40, Taglioni, after losing her
husband, her four children and her for
tune again appeared on the stage, but
soon lafterward met with an accident
while walking a It's -trope which COM
PEELED her finally to abandon her profess
sion.
She later married n. Wise, well-to-do
French nobleman and lived permanently
in New York and Philadelphia But at
his death her resources became limited,
and year after year her income less. In
1898, deformed and crippled, she asked
admittance to the almshouse, where she
died recently without ever breathing a
word Of suspicion as to her interesting
history.
In her younger days Mile Beranger
was noted for her gifts, as well as her
beauty. picture in the possession of an

MOB READY WITH ROPE
Farm Hand in Oregon Shoots and
MORALLY Wounds a Girl Who
Refuses Him.

Baker City, Ore, Dec. 25.-Minnie
Ensminger. the handsome daughter of
Jacob Ensminger, a wealthy pioneer
rancher, living near Haines, was shot
and mOrtally wounded this morning at
O'Clock by Plez Armstrong, a farm
hand, who afterwards attempted sui
eide. Armstrong is of Spanish descent,
30 years old, and for a year or more
had been paying attention to the young
lady, who is the teacher at the Muddy
Creek school. Her family objected to
his suit and made her break of the
engagement. Armstrong wrote to the
girl a few days ago, threatening 10
make it hot for her if she broke with
him. Christmas eve there was a dance
at Redding's ranch, near North Pow
Ger The girl went in company with
another man. Armstrong was there
and became insanely jealous.
At O'Clock this morning, when the
dance broke up. Armstrong lay in wait
at the gate of a neighboring ranch,
where Miss Ensminger was to sleep.
As size entered the gate Armstrong shot
her in the back with revolver, and
as she fell he sent a second shot into
her left breast. He then took a shot
at himself, the bullet barely grazing his
left temple. He was soon arrested and
taken in charge by the town marshal
mob watched over him, ready 10
lynch him as soon as the girl died
Sheriff Brown brought Armstrong here
this afternoon and locked him in the
county Jail. The young lady is still
alive, but cannot recover. 1t is said a
mob will yet attempt to lynch Arm
strong here if the young lady dies.

NOT KNOWN.
HAD BOARDED THE COAL TRAIN

T RINIDAD. Colo. Dec. 25.-DeveIop-
ments indicate that the wreck on
the Colorado & Southern railroad
just outside Of this city last night,
which was caused by a collision be-
tween a merchandise freight train and
heavily loaded coal train, was the
most disastrous in the history of the
road, where freight trains alone We're
concerned II is known tonight that
at least ten men were killed. and ru-
NOR has it that several more bodies
will be unearthed before the wreckage
is cleared away. The list of dead, as it
stands tonight, is as follows:
The Dead.
Elmer Pearce. engineer. unmarried.
Pueblo.
j. Fox, fireman
McDermott, brakeman. recently
arrived from Boston
J. GOldtrap. engineer, Trinidad.
= Devereaux, fireman. Pueblo.
Phil Lands, who boarded the train
at Ludlow; is supposed TO be a con-
tractor.
I. f. Richards, brakeman.
King. a maehinist, riding as a
passenger.
Two unidentified bodies are exposed
to view but have not yet been removed
from the 'wreckage.
More Bodies in the Wreck.
1t is feared that several miners who
were supposed to be riding on the coal
train and were on their way to Trini-
dad to spend Christmas, are under the
debris. Information received by
friends of different people residing in
this city was to the effect that they
would be in Trinidad today, and it is
learned that men were seen to board
the coal train at Hastings, LudlBw.
Walsenburg and Aguillar as it pulled
through. AS they paid no fare, there
is no record of how many were on the
train, if any.
Wrecking crews have worked dill
gently all day clearing the tracks and
succeeded in removing the wreckage
of the engines. The freight cars are
piled in great heap on the right Of
way and ii viii require all day tOmoT-
row TO get things in shape for running
trains over the road at this point. IN
the meantime all Colorado & Southern
trains are running over the tracks OF
the Denver & Rio Grande.
