4 Filipino Beverage.

Tuba is the national drink of tho
Filipinos, and its factories are plenti-
full throughout the islands, says the
New York Herald. The sole plant is a
cocoanut palm. A native. armed with
a short bolo, chops notthes in the
trunk and climbs to the top. Up
among the great spreading leaves no
cuts off the end Of the young stem that
bears the cocoanuts and ties in its
place a hollow joint of bamboo to
catch the dripping sap.
The next day our native makes his
rounds again. carrying. quiverlike, a
hollow section of bamboo over his
shoulder, to hold the drink that kindly
nature has distilled for him.
The Juice is usually colored with
bark, which adds flavor desirable to
Filipino palates. It makes mildly
fermented drink, not more intoxicat-
ing than sweet cider when fresh, but
gathers power with age. They like it
only when fresh, however, and a
drunken native is rarely seen.

beverage is ladled out Of an earthen-
ware jar with a bamboo dipper. For

WORLDS FAIR NOTES.

l. ..r
The New York State Commission to
the worlds Far of 1904 has opened q
permanent Office at 800 Broadway,
New York City.
Japan, China and Korea will each be
resresented at the Worlds Fair by all
imperial commission.
CaptJ H. Burnham of Bloomington,
Ill.,, will soon visit several states in the
interest of the Worlds Fair exhibit of

Collection when complete will include
prehistoric remains, historic maps and
charts, photographs of historic places
and portraits of historic men and
women, original documents. Lincoln
room, room of antique furniture,
books and specimens, interesting
relics, etc.
An Epworth League hotel with 500
rooms for league members visiting the
World Fair is one of the latest projects
to cire for the guests of 1904 in St.
Louis.
Forty fruit growers in different
parts Of North Dakota have offered
samples of apples for the state exhibit
at the Worlds Fair. The North Dako-
ia crop is Of the prize quality this year.
The question of which state shall be
first to start the construction of a
state building at the Worlds Fair
seems to rest with Kansas, Iowa and
Illinois. All three are about ready to
let their contracts. Colorado is also
among the leaders.

yesterday by the Democratic state
convention. George w. Guthrie, of
Pittsburg, was the unanimous choice
of the convention for lieutenant gov
ernor. James Nolan, of Reading, was
nominated by reclamation for secre-
tary of internal affairs. The platform
makes no reference to national ques-
lions, which indicates that the cam
paign will be made strictly on state
issues. Pattison was first nominated
at Harrisburg in 1882. He was nomi-
mated again at Scranton in 1890. Both
times he was elected. His most for.
midable rival in yesterdays conven-
ton was ex-Congressman James Kerr,
of Clearfield, who was chairman of
the Democratic state committee in
Pattison's second campaign. Pattison
appeared before the convention and
made brief speech of acceptance.
The vote for governor was: Patti
son, 22Sh; Kerr 521a; Guthrie 80;
Woodward, L.
The convention was held in the Park
Opera House. It was called to order
by State Chairman Greasy. A. D. Os-
borne, of Erie, was elected temporary
chairman. Robert E. Wright. of AL
lentown, was elected permanent chair
man by acclamation.

GROUND 70 PIeces on RalIroad.

Norfolk, Va, June S0.-An unknown
man created a row on the last train
from Virginia Beach Saturday night
and was put off by the conductor. He
then fired twice into a crowd on the
platform, but hit no one. AS the train
pulled out he jumped upon a rear
truck, and yesterday morning his
mangIed body was found on the track
about five miles from Norfolk. The
supposition is that he fell from the
truck and was ground to pieces.

There is much heroism Of the most
apparent sort where missionaries sin
gle handed faced wild mObs of savage
people and Quell them by their pres
ence, as in Armenia during the last
seven years.
Not infrequently they have been over
come by the savage multitudes, as in
China during the last two years. But
perhaps the highest heroism has been
displayed at times Of pestilence, scourge
and plague, when the people die by
thousands, ana only the missionary is
at hand to give counsel and help. There
is no doubt that it requires more hero
ism to face a pestilence than it does to
meet a mob In one case the blood
boils and the heart is nerved by the
attendant excitement, while in the 9th
er case there is only silent despair in
the darkness Of the night, with death
on all sides lurking in the darkness.

The Dutch Queens wealth.

The queen of Holland is among the
richest of royal personages. Part Of
her enormous fortune belongs to the
crown. while the rest is her private
property. The royal estates in HOl
land and the east. which includes the
Dutch East Indies, are also of great
value. On her marriage with Prince
Henry the young queen set aside 90
100000 marks, the arrangement being
that the interest, which is nearly $780,
600 year. will be at his own disposal,
while the capitaI'fs ultimately to pass
to the yOunger-children Of the mar.
riage. If thereAre no children, Prince
Henry is to have absolute power of dis
posing by will of 100000 marks. while
the remainder will eventually revert Il
the queens estate.
