LApRoNE CHIEFS ESCAPE
Two Break Through constabulary
Lines After Fierce Fiuht.


Lines After Fierce FIGHT.
Manila, July 23.-Montallon and Fell
zardo, the Ladrone chiefs, have broken
through the cOnstabulary Gordon in
Cavite province and have escaped to
the mountains. A number of Ladrones
were killed in earlier attempts to force
the Gordon.
The Gordon encompassed the leaders
and many Of their followers. The lat
ter when trapped made a series of
breaks to escape. The constabulary
withstood the first attacks, killing IA
and capturing Is men. The Ladrones
finally massed together under cover of
the darkness and forced their way
through a weak spot in the Gordon.
near Das Armas, killing one and
wounding one of the constabulary. The
latter captured the papers and effects
Of the leaders and destroyed quanti-
ties of supplies.
An extensive drive, with the object
OF capturing the Ladrone chiefs Mon
TALON and Felizardo and so of their
followers was organized in Cavite prov
ince. Twelve hundred constabulary,
commanded by Captain Baker, moved
last Thursday at daylight, forming a
complete angle-shaped Gordon covering
60 square miles. Patrol launches
guarded the rivers, and it was expect
ed to close the Gordon last Saturday,
The entire male population of the
towns and farms were to be included
in the concentration movement. When
complete the Ladrones were to have
been arrested and the others were tc

Wilkesbarre, Pa, July 23.-TheTe IT,
now every indication that the strike
Of the anthracite coal miners is near
ing a crucial point, and the crisis is
expected to come at almost any time
within the next few weeks, and GER
tainly before September l. Operators
claim that their old miners have been
leaving their names at the Offices OF
the companies as being DESTROYS of re-
turning to work. These operators say
that the only reason they have not
made an effort to start is that they are
merely awaiting the time when a suf-
fcient percentage Of men have applied
to insure that there will be some meas
ure of peace assured.
On the other hand. the striking min
ers seem equally confident that there
will be no break in the strike until
their grievances have been adjusted.
The leaders state that they have every
means at hand to carry on the strike
indefinitely.
At present it seems, from what little
the operators and coal roads will state,
that an attempt would be made almost
any time to start some of the mines.
The one thing that is said to keep back
such action is the fear that riots might
ensue if any large percentage of min
ers were left idle. 1t is believed by
those who understand the situation
that it would be folly to attempt to
use miners who are not thoroughly ac-
quainted with the particular mines in
which they are placed at work. Under
the Pennsylvania law no miner can
secure a license unless he has worked
at least two years as an assistant
There are not believed to be enough
of these to work more than a few
mines.

1t is difficult to say how the rumors
have originated or who has started
them, but they have become so general
that the kaiser has actually been tax
ing steps to try to repress the supersti-
ton of his people, steps which have
been attended, naturally enough, with
very small success, for superstition is
not thing that can be controlled by
law.
In the northern provinces folk are
whispering the famous prophecy of the
monk Hennin, who several centuries
ago announced that one day the Hob

fall with him. The kaiser, it is said,
dislilSes to have Hennins prophecy
mentioned, and it is certain that the
official papers have lately been pub
lishing articles in which pains are
taken to prove that the latter portion,
which points to the kaiser's violent
end, was unauthentic.
In Suabia itinerant singers go about
singing the prophecy of ST. Ingebert, a

New York Board of Aldermen Reject
Contract Offered BY Commission.
New York, July 23.-The railroad
committee of the board of aldermen,
by a vote of to 8, decided yesterday
to report adversely on the proposed
Pennsylvania Railroad tunnel route
from Jersey City to Long Island City
under Manhattan Island.
When the committees report came
before the board of aldermen there was
considerable debate on it. Alderman
Mccall said he objected to the contract
with the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany, because as it stood there was
nothing to prevent the railroad COM
pany from importing labor from the
cheapest market and building the tun-
mel without regard to the laSor laws
Borough President Cantor said it was
"a mystery to him why no clause main
tanning the rights of the city and Of
union labor were not in the contract
and claimed the power of control
should be in the hands of the president
of the borough, who is responsible fol
the highways.
At the close of the debate the board
by vote of Sc to 10, adopted the COM
mittee report rejecting the contract as

vantage Is the desire wnlcn comes 70
all true Christian hearts to get back
| into the harness to do the work which
God has given them to do after the
summer vacation is ended. In the
spring the tired schoOlteacher is apt
to complain. She says to herself:
why did ever become a public
| school teacher? Many of the mothers
only send their children to me because
they are too lazy to take care of the
children themselves" But after the
Christian schoolteacher has had a rest
in the country with God she begins to
realize her opportunities, and she says:
''Oh, how good God is to me! Think
of the opportunity of usefulness l
have! Perhaps by the grace of God l
shall not only influence these children.
but also the sinful homes from which
they come" After the minister has
been off alone with Christ to rest
awhile he longs to be back in his pull
pit to preach again about the Christ
whom he has so learned to love. The
mother, the tired mother after she
has had her rest comes back with q
happier heart, a sweeter smile and a
gentler prayer. May God pity today
the men and the women who are so
physically exhausted that they think
their religious opportunities for doing
good are a perpetual burden. By the
power Of recreating rest may all Chris
tan workers during the coming sum-
mer months nave their spiritual eyes
opened. May they rapturously see that
the happiest duty On earth is the Cd.
portunity to serve the Lord Jesus
Christ.
One morning the daughter of an Eng
lish king was found dead, with her
head pillowed near an open Bible and
with her finger pointing to the word
rest" The word rest" was found in
Matthew vi, IS, "COme unto me all We
that labor and are heavy laden, and
will give you rest" Whether she found
the rest she l0nged for this side Of the
grave we cannot know, but with Christ
IN our hearts, If we accept his sweet
invitation, we can find his rest here.
May this summer vacation give to all
Christian workers rest Of heart and
soul! May you not only have physical
rest but also spiritual rest! May it be
the sweet rest with which Christ will
fit you for the best work Of our earthly
life during the coming winter months!
Then in the fall may it be. Gods will

SLEEVES AND SKIRTS.

Elbow sleeves droop over narrow
bands and are tucked vertically at the
top. Skirts are of three-piece shap-
ing, with a graduated f1ounce that rip
pies at its lower edge. White dotted
or embroidered swiss, chalh, yelling,
art linen, nainsook and muslins, with
lace-edged flounces and bands for the
surplice fronts, are the fabrics used in
these gowns.
Some of the new French skirts are
arranged in graduated box plaits all
around, the plaits being very narrow
and fat at the top, widening out as
they descend, and when released CIV
ing the fashionable fullness near the
feet. Soft, pliable materials are es-
pecially appropriate for this style of
skirt, and many of the models are
threaded horizontally with bands of
insertion, the band passing each time
it reaches it, beneath the fold of the
box plat. Three or four rows of in
sertion arranged at regular intervals
are used. The skirts are hung over five
gored foundations, and the plaits are
either secured on the under side or else
they are stitched down to fiounce depth
and then left to fall free They have
inverted box plaits at the back, and
there is either a long or short sweep
as preferred. Regulation of the length
of the plaits depends on the figure.
One of the new summer skirt models
designed for yelling, muslins, etamine
and other soft, delicate goods is a far
ing, five-gored style with applied folds
in tucked effect, reaching almost the
entire length of the skirt, although any
desired number may be used. These
folds are not perpendicular but hori-
zontal, and. il preferred, the back can
be arranged in gathers or an inverted
box plat.
