TROOPS FROM THE PHILIPPINES
Arrival of Company Which Ran Down
 Aguinaldo's Messengers.

Agulnalu0 $ Messengers.
 San Francisco Feb 2S.-Among the troops which arrived on the transport Hancock from Manila were Captain George A. Detchemendy, Lieutenant Parker Hit and twenty-four enlisted men of Company H. Twenty second infantry, from Baler, Luzon, the most remote station in the Philippines. It was this company of soldiers who, after many hardships, ran down the Filipinos carrying messages from AguinaTdo. Together with Lieuten- ant James D. Taylor, Twenty fourth infantry, they discovered Aguinaldos hiding place at Palanan, furnishing the necessary information which was used by General Funston in the cap- ture of Aguinaldo After the capture of Aguinaldo these officers and pri- yates captured all of the Filipino troops who were with Aguinaldo last. Captain sDetchemendy and his com pany were also recently highly praised by Secretary of the Navy Long for their work in marching for the remains of young yeneille, who was one of the Gilmore party and who was killed by the natives.

NIGHT CALLS
A New Improvement in Burial Baskets.
Boston, Mass, Feb 20, lY

Boston, Mass, Feb 20, 1902.
 We have this day appointed JOHN MORIARTY, of Waterbury, Ct, the well known undertaken, sole agent for our ROLLED STEEL BURIAL CAS- KETS. These metal casl1ets will be sold as cheap as the ordinary wooden caskets and are endorsed by the Bos- ton and New York boards of health, as well as the War and Navy de- partments. They are proof against all contagious diseases, being abso- lutely air tight; they are covered in all kinds of goods of various colors and the prices are extremely low and within the reach of every family. The popularity of these caskets is ey- idenced by the fact that our factory is taxed to it's utmost capacity to keep up with the demand.
 Very respectfully,

When the negro made his mysterious
escape from the Jail at Elizabeth City
last Thursday night. Wilcox. b mar
under sentence OF death for the murder
OF Nellie Cropsey, refused to avail him
self OF the nance Of gaining his hber-
~. He could have as easily escaped as
the negro. who opened the iron cage
and mad the hole In the wall To
convince the jailer Of this fact. on the
morning after the negroes escape. in the
presence Of the officer and several other
persons Wilcox let himself out in the
same that the other convict
had.
Now the public is Specializing as 10
the mans motives IN not taking flight
when opportunity offered. Some claim
that IL was consciousness of Innocence
and a firm belief in the eventual estab-
lishment OF that fact which cause him
TO remain in Jail. Others say he pre-
ferred the present security OF the jail
TO running the risk OF falling into the
hands OF a mob OF whether
guilty or innocent. Still others say he
was playing a g~ame-either TO create
the impression that. knowing his in
nocence he so acted to work upon the
feelings of Others towards entertaining
the same belief. or else he thought IL
would be a good move in the game OF
pretending insanity. Whatever his mo-
tives. it was dangerous game to play
He has been convicted, and SO con-
WINGED are the people OF that entire
section of his guilt that even il the
supreme our gives him a new trial
the latter will almost surely result in
a second conviction. Had he attempted
to escape his recapture would have
been almost certain. Few criminals
now escape when the authorities really
desire their capture, and his flight
would have been used as argument in
favor of his guilt. But many an inno-
cent man would not have let such an
opportunity slip for gaining his liberty,
and very few guilty men under sentence
of death would have stayed in jail when
they saw the walls opened for their
escape The mans d thro IN
out the whole case has been Il mys rry
The manne of the negro's escape has
been ascertained. 1t seems that not
long ago water pipes were run into he
building. An iron bar had been re-
moved and a water pipe put in its
place. The negro removed the pipe,
thus making possible the escape of ull
in the Jail. The first report of the es-
cape of the negro said all the others
in the Jail denied knowing nov or when
he got out. Perhaps this is true and
the solution of Wilcox's conduc is that
all the other prisoners were asleep ~
the time of the escape and he did not
know anything about Ii until it was too
late to make the attempt.

EYES SPEAK

Volumes, at times, of woman's happi-
ness or misery. The drill, sunken eye,

mouth, the shrunken form-the whole

effects of disease.

A large col ony of Fresnoites Is on the ground, digging ditches with the view ot irfh' gsting the land for sun mer orops."
 The above statement is made by the Rural Californian, and ~ss suggested by an article on the rice industry pub lished recently in the Rice Age. That paper said:
 "Groxing of rice in the Uni:ed States h.s rapidly increased iu im- portsnce during the last few year.
