BATTLES WITH THE MoRoA.
General Davis Had Been Ordered ts
 Withdraw Troops.


 MANILA, April 23. - Two engage ments have been fought between the American troops and the Moros on the island of Mindanao during the past twenty-four hours.
 Moore of the Twenty infan- try, while out with small party hunt ing for water, was fired upon at long range. Lieutenant Colonel Frank D. Baldwin, with a battalion of troops and mountain gun, went to the as- sistance of Moore's party and drove off the Moros, who lost seven men. The firing was at l, 100 yards range.
 The Moro villages were flying red flags, meaning that they intended to fight to the uttermost.
 Later Sultan Pualo and a force of na- lives attempted to reoccupy the ground gained by the Americans, but the Mo- ros were forcibly dispersed.
 Datto Chief Ganasi has sent dele gation to the American commander rendering the absolute submission of the men under his control
 Brigadier General Davis, in con- mand at Zamboanga, island of Minda- 
 from Washington of instructions to withdraw his troops from Mindanao, but he urges that owing to the present state of affairs the withdrawal of the troops will result in the absolute loss of American prestige among the A1oros in Mindanao. His orders, however, are explicit.
 Lieutenant Colonel Baldwin and his forces are beyond the reach of the tel egraphic instructions from Washing ton.
 By orders from Washington the court martial ordered to try General Jacob H. Smith, who was in command of the United States troops on the island of Samar, on the charge of conduct preju- dicial to good order and discipline, has been dissolved. The members of the court which will try General Smith will be named at Washington.

A FAMOUS NEWS-yENDER.

King Edward once paid a sovereign for a paper, though his hunger for news can hardly have been desperate
 The news-yender was Dayy Stephens, the familiar figure on Kingstown Pier. who has sold papers to passengers land- ing in Ireland for half century. Lord Rosebepy also gave ''Dayy'' a sovereign for q copy of daily, and the queen
 of Roumania was equally generous Dayy was at their pier when Lord Wolseley returned from the first Ashan- tee war with q coffee pot on his head, and the glimpse of the conquer ing hero reminded Dayy that on his departure Lord Wolseley had handed him half sovereign and bade him a goodbye. Bismarck, when he visited Ireland, gave Davy handtul of French coppers for his papers.
 The famous news man has grown 10 be familiar with his great customers, and his wit is never unapprecatel. The Prince of Wales, who gave Davy half a sovereign, was more amused than annoyed when Davy reminded him that he was ''only half a sovereign himself" The Duke of Edinburg was less extravagant; he gave the news man three-penny bit for his paper, which Davy did not mind. seeing that an excited and ultra-loyal Irishwoman bought it from him for ten shill;ngs. Mir Gladstone once paid him five shil- lings for copy of Punch, which Dayy received as gratefully as the SOW ereigns of the richer men. Mir Morley, too. belongs to Davy's silver friends, and the witty news man is on excellent terms with the ex-chief secretary It was from Davy that AIr Morley more than ence learned his first Irish news on reaching the Emerald Isle. Ere quentiy Mr Morley would say: s.Wi,at's the news. Dayy?" and the Irishman would reply -committally, All un- der my arm, sir."--St James's Gazette.

POOR RICH CHILDREN.

Children of the rich are popularly supposed to be immune from misfor- tune, but Percival Chubb in his talk before the Society for the Study of Life, of New York, pointed out so many wrongs of which they are vic tims that those who are blessed witt, little of this worlds goods went home thankful for their mercies.
 In the first place Mir Chubb regard ed it as q misfortune that the rich have so few children. sThe higher we go the less trace there is of the old, popular hearty home life. 1t doesn't take a Croesus, however, to spoil a child. The application is to the we'll to-do as well as to the very rich--to all who are threatened by the com plexity and luxury of life in q large city. The greater the riches the great CT the danger. On general principles the richer q man becomes the greater the difficulties to the best manner of life. It is said that property is an eX- tension of a mans personality, but it takes big soul and personality to animate a big property. Along Fifth avenue one gets the impression of sep ulchres rather than homes. There is not enough life behind the walls to animate the property. The children are fellow victims with their parents. The houses have packed parlors, leu- seums rather with objects nudging us and saying, Look at us, how beauti- ful We are.' Of utility in ages past they have become our baubles and toys. Plush civilization is no civiii- zation for the child.

Aged Indian Pardoned.

WASHINGTON, April 23-The pres ident has granted pardon to Robinson Kemp, who was convicted in the Unit ed States circuit court for the western district of Arkansas of murder commit ted in the Indian Territory and on Feb. 27, 1886, was sentenced to be hanged. In the following April this sentence was commuted. by President Cleveland to Imprisonment for life on the ground that the evidence on which he was convicted was circumstantial and con ficting. Kemp has now been impris- oned for more than sixteen years in the Detroit house of correction. He is a full blood Chickasaw Indian and up- ward of eighty years of age. Attorney General Knox expressed grave doubts of the prisoners guilt.

Addition Will Be Built to Heminway
 & Bartlett's Factory.

Tax Collector Otto T. Roeske has so far collected on the grand list of 1901 and 1902 $11 ,000, out of a total of S16,- 3S5.42. This is in addition to S1,500 which is returned by the state for taxes collected on bank stock. Collec- tor Roeske is anxious to save all out standing taxes settled as soon as .,os- sible, as it makes less trouble and ex- pense not only for the collector but also for the taxpayers. Taxes have got to be paid and you might just as well pay them now as later.
 Housekeepers in Watertown claim that it is almost impossible to get good girls for housework For some reason or another girls seem to fight shy of housework. Most of them would rather go to work n the factory than accept the highest wages paid for good help in Watertown homes. Just why this should be so is somewhat of mystery. In a majority of the places in Watertown where hired help is cm- ployed servants are well treated and everything possible done to keep them, still they will not stay, and housekeep- CTS are at their wits end endeavoring to find remedy for this famine of hired help.

 There is still hope for the Watertown trolley. The Waterbury officials look trip as far as Oakville yesterday and viewed the disputed territory at the Oakville crossing. The Connecticut Lighting and Power Co has asked rar- mission to lay it's tracks temporarily on the highway between the abutments of the Oakville bridge. The company has asked the city of Waterbury for this privilege so that work can be com menced at once. and it was i'll view of having to consider this subject at last nights meeting which induced the city officials to visit the disputed point
