phiIippine Coinage.

WASHINGTON, March 25.-It is
learned that the insular division of the
war department has requested the sec
retary of the treasury TO purchase the
necessary silver and execute the coin
age of the Philippine pesos authorized
by the Philippine currency act. AL
though this act authorizes the coinage
of not to exceed 75.00O,000 pesos, in
cluding recoinage of Mexican and Phil
ippine coins, it is not contemplated at
present to coin more than 20,000,OO0
pesos at about the rate of 100000 a
month. The silver for these coins will
be purchased in the United States but
under what conditions has not yet been
determined. The treasury, ii is under
stood, will purchase only at the market
value in such quantities as may be
needed as the coinage progresses.

BlNGHAMTON, n. Y, March 25.-
Before the nature of the disease was
discovered twenty-one of the fiftyfour
persons in the little hamlet of Stevens
Point, about five miles east of Susque-
hanna, Pa, were down with the small
poX. The disease was brought to the
place by man who had been working
in New Jersey. a few days after he
returned home he developed what was
called the itch" No physician was
called, but many people of Susquehan-
na and surrounding country We're eX-
posed. The latter part of last week
other people in the village began to de-
velop the itch" When II physician
was called. the disease was declared to
be smallpox. Twenty-one people are
sick, and several hundred in the sur
rounding country have been exposed.

Army Review Frightened Cinnamon.

VICTORIA, b. c., March 25.-Ac-
cording to advices received from the
orient. the grand review of Chang
Chih Tung's modern drilled soldiers in
the Yangtse provinces, together with
the Nangang and part of the Peiyang
naval squadrons, was a great naval
and military display, but II was dlsas-
trous to the populace, and n large num-
Der of lives were lost. When the sham
battle started, panic seized the whole
populace, report having been spread
that an invasion was to take place. Sc
great was the panic that suicide was
resorted to, and it is reported many
children were drowned in order to get
rid of them to allow their parents tc
run the faster.

Rough Riders to Meet Roosevelt.

TUCSON, Ariz., March 25.-Fifty
rough riders of Bisbee and southern
Arizona, finding that President Roose-
welt will confine his itinerary to the
northern part of the territory, has ar
ranged an excursion to Grand Canyon,
where they will greet their former
leader. Desiring to give the president
some appropriate token of esteem, they
have secured large black bear, cap
turei in Sonora, and will present it to
him when they meet him mt the can
yon. They realize it will be somewhat
awkward for the president to carry a
live bear around with him, but they
have decided he shall get at least one
bear on his western trip.

Mine Officials Satisfied.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, March pa
Local mine officials in and about this
city who have been seen in reference
to the mine commission award nearly
all declined to make any comment The
manner in which they express them
selves, however, would indicate that
they are satisfied An official of the
largest corporations who would talk
said the award was a practical vindi-
cation of the coal companies.

MRS, 6URplCk TEsTIFIEs.
Sensational Revelations ut BuGaI
Murder Inquest.


BUFFALO, March 25.-"IIave you
received any information as to who
killed your husband"
mo, SIR
You swear you have no knowledge
or information as to who killed him?"
Il do"
The above questions were addressed
to Mrs. Alice Hull Burdick yesterday
afternoon ut the inquest into the death
Of her husband by District Attorney
COatSworth. The answers were re.
turned by Mrs. Burdick i'm calm
clear voice. The questions came alb
ruptly while the district attorney was
drawing from Mrs. Burdick informa-
ton about her relations with Arthur
Il. Pennell. She had denied that Pen
nell took her key to the front door of
the Burdick home while they were In
New York together and had several
duplicates made of 1t. The district at
torney put the question regarding the
key to Mrs. Burdick in q number of
different forms, but the answers were
always emphatic denials that she or
Penuell had ever ordered duplicate
keys made or that the key had left her
possession during her last exile from
home
Mrs. Burdick was on the stand all
day yesterday.
With a package of letters in his
hands, some of which We're written to
Mrs. Burdick by Arthur X. Pennell, co.
respondent in the divorce proceedings
instituted by Mr.. Burdick, and other
communications between Mr. Burdick
and his wife, Mr.. Coatsworth forced
Mrs. Burdick TO tell the story of her
relations with pennell from the time
he first made love to her in New Ha-
ven in 1898 until 1901, when these rela-
tions were renewed after Burdick had
forgiven his wife and had taken her
back to his home for the sake of their
children. Mrs. Burdick was deathly
pale while on the witness stand. She
answered questions in low, faltering
tone evading direct answer when
ever possible and reluctantly admit
ting facts when the district attorney
pitilessly read extracts from the love
letters written to her by Arthur II.
Pennell.
Never since the inquest into the
murder began has there been such in
tense interest in the proceedings.

Yes. II you ask them.
-Ah-- said the child, Z know not how TO
speak to such hngs You ask them. mother"
oh." replied the Queen. they speak as we
do"
But persisted the child with cruel In
genuousness. did you not tell me that we were
no longer kings you and ~"
The mother sighed Look at the stars and
see the Wise Men come" she cried to direct his
thoughts to another channel And the twinkling
stars and racing clouds first absorbed him and
then softly led him along the muffied path of
slumber. The Queen tenderly laid her bow In
his cot and returning to her place In the deep
window bay she unused what gift from the Wise
Men she should place in the little Kings cradle
At midnight there came clamor at the castle
gate HorseInen in shining helmets with iutter-
ing pennons and flashing arms pranced beneath
the window where the discrowned Queen stood
hidden by the thick hangings She knew them
and her heart beat high They were the mobiles
OF the realm her child had lost The little King
aroused by the lights and voices, murmured, yet
but half awake. The Three Wise Kings have
comeI"
Yes my Hfe!" cried his mother they have
come at last" And she tremb'ed like a sedge-
reed before the tempest whiis the mobiles and
warriors told her the great good tidings OF which
they were the bearers. The people. so used to
the endless gayety OF their race and cline had
grown weary under the weight OF the new Kings
sword, and those who had raised him I'D had
ALLIED him and had cried aloud for the sweet
smiling Queen they had driven away

U.s.
And the mother, overcome by Joy rather than
by sorrow, laughed and wept at once feeling for
the first time IN its full intensity the sadness
that had been hers In exile, and sobbing at the
thought of the subjects who had made her suf
fer She could only murmur between her sobs.
''Ungrateful onesl All! ungratefuL"
They told her of the horrors Of the war. of the
blood that had been shed; how the new Kings
severed head had rolled bleeding down the steps
of the throne he had usurped. But she. dead to
the pain of others. understood 1t not, and could
only laugh between her sobs and tears She took
the crown In her tender hands and caressed it as
one caresses a child It was of beaten iron.
hard and rigid. The only thing that the happy
garden realm had made gloomy was the circlet
Of its sovereigns The cold touch of the iron
sent shudder like electric shock through
the heart of the Queen. and she ran to her
child with a glad cry. My sonl my soni here

''What7 Where is it?" cried the wondering
child. now wide awake.
Take it; it is thy crown" said his mother
Thou, too art now among the Kings"
The baby clasped it hastily, frightened by his
mothers emotion and uncertain whether to
