TEN MARINES FOUND.
Missing Members of Samar Expedi-
ton Are in Pitifui Condition.

MANILA, Feb. 1.-The ten marines.
members of Captain David d. Porter's
expedition. lost on the island of Sa-
mar, are pitiful wrecks. Starving,
poisoned by brambles, feverish from
drinking impure water, all dellirious
and some In sane. there is scant hone
that any of them will ever fully recov-
er from their terrible experience
When the relief force under Will
liams of the First infantry located the
missing men two of them were in
trees barking like dogs, and three of
the unfortunates staggered into the re-
lief camps delirious and unable to ex-
plain the whereabouts of their com
panions.
The marines suffered frightful hard
ships For several days they were
without food. To avoid starvation,
they ate. raw, the flesh of two dogs.
The natives accompanying them pre-
tended they could not distinguish the
edible roots. AS result some of the
men devoured poisonous roots and
berries and suffered intense agony
and insanity.
To add to their hardships. torren-
tial rains flooded the island, swelling
all the streams and making progress
almost impossible. In the face of
these conditions Williams and his
band of rescuers pushed into the in
terlor and finally succeeded in locat-
ing all the men.
General Chaffee is endeavoring to
obtain full details OF the .trap.- abus
neither Captain Porter nor any OF
his men are In condition to give a
lucid explanation. 1t is the general
belief, however, that the marines
were deceived by the natives who ac-
companied them, and there is Intense
anger among the sufferers and res.
cuers against the natives. none of
whom returned with their victims.
The expedition into the interior OF
Samar was undertaken about two
weeks ago. Captain Porter and SO
members of the marine corps, taking
with them number of natives as
guides pushed into the wilds of the
island. The project was dangerous
on account Of the terrific rainfall, but
had the guides been faithful II Is be-
lieved the party might have returned
in safety. Rations for Ave days were
carried.
January q Captain Porter and 26
OF the men managed to reach the
coast. but could give no idea of the
location or fate of their ten compan-
ions. While | was generally fear
ed that the men had perished a res
cue party was organized and sys-
tenlatic search of the island was TAX
en- up. The result W as tnat all the
men have been found.
General Chaffee has curtailed his
trip and returned here. He says the
conditions are satisfactory every
where except In Samar where the
heavy rains retard the campaign, and
more especially as the enemy there
Is very elusive. Rains have been
falling in that locality continuously
for two months.

Yes They said they wanted four
feet of snow. Now that we have In
the ncighborhood OF 80 inches of the
much desired article 1t is amusing to
hear them tell that they are out OF
wood, that ranchmen will now have
to feed their stock and that the ground
is frozen so deep that the snow when
melted will all run on. G. II.
Loucks. who is wintering his cattle
in Taylor canon, told us Just before
the snow. that he was having hard
time OF 1t trying to keep his cattle
up to feed. as the weather had been
so mild that they preferred the range.
Now we have no doubt that others
have encountered the same difficulty
and that they would much rather see
the snow and the prospect for good
crops the coming season. than to save
a few tons OF feed now. We all
know that this weather cannot last
for long and we have been very for
tunate that the winter has been 80
mild thus far.--Pagosa Springs

in Bologna and Modena. when a
widow she educated her four sons,

encouraged art literature, geography
and was the friend of Toscanelli the
great geographer.
In the same century fifty or sixty
women in Italy were famous for
learning. and to inspire the ambition
of the sex the states offered prizes
for such accomplishments, but,
through the influence of the church
and political leaders, learning among
women began to decline. and we hear
nothing more of scholarship among
that sex until Maria Gaetanna Agnesi
appeared at Bologna. She was one
of the most extraordinary women of
all history. Her father was profess
sor of mathematics in the University
of Bologna. where she was born In
171S. When 9 years old she wrote
book in Latin on the "Responsibil
tiles of Womanhood," and advocating
the higher education of women; when

guages, and when 18 they called her
the walking polyglot." because there
was no language that she did not
know. She used to appear before
the learned societies o fItaly and read
papers on abstruse subjects. She
wanted to become a nun. but the en-
treaties of her father persuaded her
to renounce her inclinations, and she
retired from society and gave herself
up to study until her learning was
something marvellous. -f1ef memory
was so retentive that she could quote
pages of figures and could give the
date of any historical event offhand.
She wrote book on "The Analysis
of Finite Quantities and a second
volume on "The Analysis of Infinite
simals." Both were translated into
French, German and English and
used as textbooks in the European
universities. She was also the
used as textbooks in the European
tions. In 1850 Pope Benedict XIV
appointed her to succeed her father
when he retired as professor of math-
ematics at the University of Bologna.
but, when he died two years later,
she was released from her promise
and gratified her original desire by
joining the austere sisterhood of the
Blue Nuns, of which she became
mother superior and conducted its
affairs until death in 1893.
Her sister, Maria Teresa Agnesi,
was equally famous in music.

1t Is sometimes difficult to realize
the changes that are constantly TAX

of mankind except as we observe the
past through the enlightment OF the
present. In no department OF life Is
this change more conspicuous than 10
the opinion concerning the position
OF women In the affairs OF the world.
As an illustration OF the position
assigned to women In this country
100 years ago, the following taken
from a bound volume OF the files OF
the Berkeley Intelligencer, published
at Martinsburg. Va. from April II,
1899 to May 81, 1901, will be OF In

1t is not quite likely that 100 years
from now the student Of history will
look with amazemeut upon the fact
thata great republic, claiming to
have government g for the people,
of the people, and by the people,
should refuse one half its people, and
that the most moral and law abiding
half, with voice in its affairs. That
government Claiming to be founded
upon the s'consent OF the governed"
and having for It's battle cry, taxa
tion without representation is ty-
ranny" proceeded to govern its women
without their consent and tax them
without allowing them representa-
ton, even after they had protested
against the iniustice for SO years.
Can any one conceive greater in
consistency than the position Of the
women In this country SO far as their
political rights are concerned?
There is still lurking in the minds
OF many much Of that old opinion
concerning women expressed In the
above advertisement written 100 years
