must be worth about $19,990. Nearly all
the Moros In the Tawi-Tawi group were
originally "samars' or "bajows"
who live entirely in boats. Their language
is as different from Sulu as Sulu is from
Malay, and they live by catching fish and
gathering pearl shells, which they trade
for rice, tapioca, tobacco, and cloth.
There are still several floating vii
lagos Of these people. They spend
a month or more in one vicinity
and then move to another. You often see

20 feet long and two and half feet wide,

a dozen children, two or three slaves and

been known to dive naked In 80 feet Of
water and bring up pearl shells. Three
shells a week value about $3.50 will sup

A DYNASTY OF GORE.
Datto Tantung is the most important
chief In the group. His father, Datto
Medjinde, was for years a great pirate
chief and ruled the entire Tawi-Tawi
group with the exception of the small
island of Banaran. The Sultan feared
him, and made no effort to levy tribute
from the lower islands, but gladly accept
ed what Medjinde saw fit to give him.
Medjinde was murdered about 20 years
ago by a man from Bilimbing, whose wife

The Sultan and all the chiefs have al
ways lived by fines imposed upon their
people. The size of the fine depends more
upon the amount Of property possessed by
the defendant than upon the gravity of
the offsnse. Fines are imposed either in
dollars or slaves. They are seldom paid
in either unit of measure. but usually in
personal property. < fine of $500 (Mexi-
cam was recently paid as follows: One
sapit (boat), two brass gongs. four brass
pans, five brass pots or kettles, one barong,
four krises, one sarong, 10 yards red cal
leo and one ancient rifle. In the house of
a powerful chief you may see 100 or more
gongs or other pieces of brassware-all
representing fines collected and all readily
convertible into money when needed
FREE JUSTICE.
These people come freely to lay their
troubles before the American officers and
ask redress. One reason for this freedom
is that they are not charged anything. Ap-
plications for divorce are quite frequent
and often on curious grounds. A woman
recently asked for divorce because she had
pawned her father With a Chinaman in
SLASH for 500 worth of goods, which her
husband had been selling at Bongao and
vicinity and was keeping all the money in
stead of dividing with her. After many
questions the fact developed that she had
only one child, four years old, and the di-
vorce was avoided by modestly suggesting
to husband and wife that Allah, if prop
erly invoked, might send them one or two
more children and thus remove all cause
of trouble. One week later they came and
apologized, and said they were both sorry
they had ever thought Of divorce and par
ticularly sorry that they had ever both
cred the Captain. So the weary author
insists that these people can be educated.
There is future for these islands and
their curious people, but it will be many
years before they learn to take full advan-
tage of the natural resources of their coun-
try. COcoanuts, hemp and rice can be
raised on nearly all the inhabited islands
and now that hatred and distrust of the
Spaniards has been replaced by confidence
in and respect for the Americans the peo-
pie will gradually acquire ideas of thrift
In the meantime patience, justice and firm
ness are the requisites for success in deal
ing with them. Golfers Weekly.

Was iPCking MP Coal

Appleton, Sept. 2O.-Although
80 years of age, and reputed to
be worth close to $4,000, Mrs.
Bridget Macdonald went out to
pick up some coal in the railroad
yards here this morning. She
crawled under a freight car and
when the engine was started the
eyed woman was run over and al
most instantly killed.
The accident happened at Man
ava, station OH the Green Bay
Western railway. The engineer,
not knowing that there was any
one underneath his train, started
up and the woman was caught
under the wheels. The body
was badly mangled and death
ensued soon afterwards.
The woman is said to own
property at Oshkosh, which is
valued at $25, 900.

AN ODD CAVALCADE.

Gold Laced Rider Divides Honors
With the President.
Usually President Roosevelt can ride
from one end of Pennsylvania avenue
in Washington, to the other without
awakening the least curiosity from the
passing public since they are so accus-
toned to seeing him mounted for rid
ing, says the New York Times. How
ever, he unconsciously attracted q
great deal of attention as he headed a
curious cavalcade coming down Penn
sylvania avenue the other day.
First was the president returning
from ride In the country. Fe was
his house guest. Behind General Wood
came the orderly who always rides
with the president, and after tim came
a glittering individual mistaken for
newly arrived dignitary from some for
eign country where gold lace and scar
let coats are worn by others than the
Marine band. Gold braid almost COW
cred his crimson Jacket, hat as glori-
Gus sat upon his head, and glittering
sword swung from his side. Evidently
the resident was taking another rep
resentative of faraway country for
one of his strenuous rides. People
halted along the walk to gaze upon the
gay individual, who gazed in vulgar
curiosity after the president.
The party turned into the White
House grounds, the president first, fol-
lowed by General Wood, then the or
derby, The scarlet coated rider stop
ped and looked up the driveway, but
did not enter. The people took it for
granted that the president had forget
ten his guest and walked along to take
q closer view of his majesty. Just
then he set q pair Of clumsy Leels into
mis- horso and rode slouchily 5.vn the
avenue, leaving the people t. -1soo7er
that they had been following an a.l~or-
tisement for a new cigarette just CO.. =.

l.ayins Dust with 1,Ap.

Visitors to the Riviera will be thank
ful If the experiments now being con-
Quoted by the authorities at Monte
Carlo result in remedying the great
nuisance caused by the dusty roads,
says London Truth. Owing to the
heat, watering Is of little use, while
obvious disadvantages attach to the
unitarian American method of using
petroleum for laying dust. A local
doctor has. however, been experiment.
ms with an application Of coal tar to
the road surface, and the result has
surpassed expectations. The surface
becomes so hard and compact that 1t
is difficult to break up, no dust is
formed, rain fails to penetrate the lay
er f tar, and even after forty days
to traffic there Is no sign of
wear and tear. Now the municipal
authorities and the hotel keepers are
taking the matter up, and the result OF
their labors should not be without in
terest to municipalities at home.

A Perfect Lady.

The following conversation took
place between well known actress

her kind.

was here before"
ooh, no, miss! I've go a sister,

O. you'd have liked my sister,

tion, ooh, she's a perfect lady
looks so nice-always wears a black
silk dress, and I've never seen her
the worse for drink in all my life!"
