"BULLY FOR WELLER"

"BuLLY FUK WELLEk,'
General Funston pauses in his
attacks upon those who do not
agre with him to say "Bully for
Waller; | am glad he did it,"
Major Waller is an officer in the
Philippines who has been called
to account for the charge of execut-
ing natives of the island of Samar
without trial, says the World Her
aid. A Manila dispatch to the
New York World, under date of
March 6, referring to acts Of Major
Waller and an associate officer
says:
Some of the circumstances in
the case are peculiarly atrociou-.
One native was tied to a tree and
publicly shot IN the thigh. The
next day the man was shot in the
arms. The third day he was shot
IN the body, and the'fourth day the
native was killed.
FrienLs Of the two officers attrib-
ute their actions to loss of mind,
due to the privations which they
suffered in the island Of Samar.
Ii it was true that these men, be-
CT privations, had lost their
reason, the men would generally
be extremely sorry for them. But
ii tn ACT has been correctly de
scribed in this Manila dispatch, no
man having one drop of the milk
of human kindness within him
would applaud the act itself.
1t is, however not, in the least
surprising that a man who has the
impudence to stanl before an in
telligent audience in a free and en-
lightened country and advocate the
hanging of men who disagree with
him on questions of national policy
it is, we say, not the least surpris-
ing that such a man applauds the
cruelty described in the Manila
dispatch.
General Funston has had such
remarkable success in monopoliz.

Aguinaldo that he is perhaps en-.
couraged to believe that he could

The late General Carlos Allan, NIL
itafv Governor of the Department OF
Panama, Colombia, was very proud OF
a clock that stood in his reception
room in the city of Panama. II hrst
glance there seemed TO be nothing very
remarkable about his time-piece. Ii
was merely modern specimen OF
what is conventonally termed the
grandfather's clock variety. But Gen
eral Adams eye glistened and he be-
came yoluble when any visitor referred
to his clock and he took delight In ex-
planning it.
The difference between this CLOCK
and those usually seen IS that II lndl-

clock is made to show the time IN

The evaporation is the first and most

one that can make the best sugar In the

SUGGESTIONS DYING OUT.

"ReaI estate men are gradually for

tons which used to, cause us much

n reporter THE number of houses
which cannot be rented or sold on &C.
count Of being haunted or because some
terrible crime was committed on the
premises is rapidly decreasing. We run
across only a few people who balk at
living in house No. 10. Even elderly
men who have made big fortunes are
beginning to believe that there Is moth
ing in the old saying that the aged rich
man builds mansion to die In 1t. New
Workers are entirely too practical to
hold to old superstitions; besides, the
big apartment houses which we are
building all over town are blotting out
the old houses, which may have had
histories"
Tell me something about the haunt
ed houses which are still standing In
this city," the agent was requested.
Now you are getting on dangerous
ground. In these days of well-detined
libel laws you can't talk about mans
property in a way that will depreciate
its value without paying well for your
fun. Circulating ghost stories about
particular houses is not calculated to
improve their renting value, and the
owners might be able to show that we
had done them real damage. There Is
one house in West Eleventh street that
is never more than half filled, because
years ago some one thought the house
was haunted, and the story of terrible
ghosts that walk about the halls at
night has been handed down from ten
ant TO tenant. There are other haunted
houses, but we are trying to forget
where they are, hoping that the stories
will be forgotten. 1t is generally diff
cult to rent or dispose of houses in
which sensational crimes have been
committed. Long murder trials In
which the houses figured prominently
usually cause them to rmain vacant
for long time. New York Tribune.
