AsphaIt Were More ServiceabIe.

Notification was recently served on
the residents of an uptown street that
they would be assessed certain
amount each by the city for repavlng
made necessary in laying new water
pipes. Several house owners rebelled,
and determined to petition councils
to place the cost on the city The
most bellieerent of the "kickers' was
appointed committee of one to ask
all the interested property owners to
sign the petition Here was the first
paragraph Of the circular letter he
sent around:

methods of discouraging foe Is to

Among the savage tribes both won-

their ears, distendinS the lobes OF the
latter normously by means of plugs or
bone. 1t is customary to tattoo the chil-
dren. chiefly for the sake OF identlhca-
ton in case they happen to be stolen,
kidnapping being very common. A man
paws for his wife in advance by work
ing for her parents from four to six

emniZing marriage consists in the Civ
ing of a handful of boiled rice by the
husband to the wife, and vice versa IN
token that they are mutually to sus-
tain each other.
Concerning the MOros. whose anceS-
tors probably came from Borneo and
Celebes. there is a good deal OF con
Trajectory testimony. 1t is admitted
| that the Moro is man built FOR the

ing upon work as a disgrace, his
scheme OF life consists in making
slaves of less wariike men, to work
for him, and taking their best-looklng
girls for his harem.
On the other hand, some OF our OBJ
servant army officers recently in Min
danao declare that the Moros are very
like the best of our North American
Indians. such as the Nez Perces and
Northern Cheyennes. in features and
manners, in their love of independ
ence, and in personal dignity and
pride. They are apt to be courteous
light t-hearted, and improvident. Theil
sense of humor is strong, and they
are amenable to argument and reason
Their dislike for work is rather the
warriors contempt for labor thar
mere laziness.
Though no reliable figures are OBJ
tainable it is believed that there are
about 5OO,000 Moros in Mindanao
Some authorities say only 100000
however. The Moros, as rule, ar
disposed to be very friendly whel
, treated as equals, and by following
out that idea the Americans have &C
, complished with them what the Span
iards, who behaved very haughtily t
, them, could not do in 300 years.

is also on the side of the natural pOsi.S
ton of the foot in the case OF the
savage. for he has to do much walk
ing through long grass and under-,
growth in forests. Consequently his
progress would be much impeded IL
he turned his toes out to catch these
obstacles instead of brushing them
aside and outward, as he now does.
Lastly, the savage uses his foot much
more as a help to his hands than We

1 1IXTEEN different tribes OF
very remarkable savages,
without counting the plgmy
Ite16EVHI negritos. dwell in the interior
of Mindanao, numbering prob
ably not less than 100000 in all, ana
government ethnologists have already
begun to make study OF them. III
asmuch as nothing worth mentioning
has been known about them hitherto,
there is plenty to learn. but sooa
many facts have been collected, ana
''race map of the great island mas
been drawn, to accompany report On
the subject which will be submlttea
to Congress next December.
One of the most notable OF the
tribes is that of the Bagobos, VINO
dwell, according to their own oelle1,
at the gates of hell. They offer hu-
man sacrifices to the devil, who lves
with his wives on the top OF an active
volcano in their neighborhood. Inc
monsters name is Mandarangan,~ and
it is necessary to appease MN WIN
regular supplies of blood, which is MS
only drink. 1nasmuch as each basopo
has two souls, one of which goes to
heaven and the other to the Internal
regions, he feels particularly anxious
to placate the aFehEsnd.
The origin of these tribes is uncer-
tain. Presumably they came origin
ally from the mainland or Asia, al
though some authorities are OF the
opinion that they voyaged all the way
from Madagascar, and they certainly
arrived later than the neGritos. They
settled in Mindanao, however. long
before the Moros, who in recent times
have preyed upon them, carrying on
their women and enslaving the men.
| They are tall, we'll developed, intelli-
! gent. and rather light of skin, with
aouiline noses. Some of them are
! fierce and warlike.
The most numerous of these tribes
are the Subanos, which number about
10000; the Tagadauas which are estl-
mated at 1000; tne Mandayas, who
are reckoned at 10000 the Monteses,
who are put down at 25,O0o; the Man
obos, who are 10000 strong; the Atlas,
who comprise 21,O0O souls, and the
Bagobos, who number $1,000. Ihese

FARRELL AND MRS. BELTS
Apparently the Constable Had
III No Authority for Stopping
Suicide Rounds's Friend.

Considerable comment has arisen in
Hoboken over the faction of Constable
James Farrell in preventing Msr. Lydia
Belts, Of No. 255 Eleventh street, from
crossing the Fourteenth street ferry to
New York Friday night. "rrhe News"
related on Saturday how Mrs. Belts, who
is the woman with whom Frederick j.
Rounds, former manager of the Metro
politan Street Railway, was living when
he committed suicide last week, tried to
leave the city, but was stopped at the
ferry by Constable Farrell who inform
ed her that he would place her under ar
rest if she attempted to board ferry
boat. An effort was made at the time
to ascertain where Farrell got his au-
thority. and it was learned that neither
the oCunEy Prosecutor nor the Hoboken
police hsld gwen him my instructions to
work on the case. When seen yesterday
Farrell declined to talk.
1t is the opinion Of the police that Far
rell happened to see Mrs. Belts going to
New York and thought he was doing the
authorities Invaluable service by stop
ping her.
Although the circumstances connected
with Rounds's death were considered
worth investigation by the police, no or
der has been given to prevent Mrs. Belts
from leaving the city. She went to
Brooklyn Saturday morning. but return
ed in the afternoon. She also left town
a short while yesterday.
Prosecutors Detective Edward Nc
Cormack was at work on the case Satur-
day afternoon. He refused to say
whether he had found any feature that
might indicate that Rounds was murder
ed. 1t is believed that Mccormack was
put on the case to set at rest certain ru-
mors which Were started by New York
newspapers.

DESERTER CAUGHT.
Ae Tried to Enlist at the Re-
cruiting Office in This City.

SamuelJ. Holloway, of Steuben street,
was arrested yesterday By Detective Ben
nett on charge of deserving from the
United States Army. Holloway was
playing ball in lot on Steuben street
when arrested.
He is charged with having deserted
from Troop E, Fifth Cavalry, stationed
at Fort Ethan Allan, Vermont, on De-
cember %, 1900 He enlisted on June
2T, 1899, and served for awhile in Porto
Rico
All trace of Holloway was lost until
last week when he entered the recruiting
office on Montgomery street and made
an application under the name of Mill
wood. His pedigree was taken and the
officer in comparing notes found that
AIillwoods description tailed with that
of Holloway.
The applicant had references signed
by several prominent men. An investi-
CATION was made 1t was then discovered
that Holloway had been arrested on a
charge of robbery and had served long
term. This in itself was sufficient to
reject the applicant, but as he was want
ed on charge of desertion the arrest
was brought about.
Holloway swas sent to Governors
Island yesterday. He will be tried by
court martial in a weeks time.

A DOG OUTRAGE.
Unsuitable Snatcher Takes Mrs.
McFarland's Pet to the
Pound Though She
Showed Collar
and Tag.

Mrs. Mcfarland, of No. 260 Barrow
street, had an extremely unpleasant ex-
perience with the dog catchers Saturday
afternoon. She was walking in Van
Worst Park with her two dogs. One was
on a string and the other was wander
ing near her without his collar and tag.
These his mistress had removed to re-
lieve their small owner from the weight
The man on the dog catcher wagon saw
that the dog had discarded his license
to exist and instantly seized him and,
in spite of his distracted mistress's APP
peals, held on to his prey. Nothing
Mrs Mcfarland could say would induce
him to release the victim. She went
for the collar and tag and showed them
to the man and begged and pleaded
with him but all to no effect She finally
had to go to the pound and pay one
dollar to get him out.
~The dog "Ching" is a great favorite
with all the children on the block and
great was the excitement when his cap
ture was reported. a sympathetic crowd
collected at once The children followed
the wagon in mournful procession
down Barrow and up Bright streets.
and when they found it was no use they
turned sadly back.
Great was their joy when the dog
was returned from the yound.
