The Secretary's Refusal to Call a Court
Martial to Try Gen. Funston.
Philadelphia, April 2T.-Owing TO
charges that he had ordered his sol
diers before fight in the Philippines
to take no prisoners. General Funston
asked Secretary Root for a court mar
tial. The request was refused, the
reason briefly being that the facts had
already been well established in Funs-
toms favor. Now Herbert Welsh, an
anti-imperialiSt editor (Of City and
State" of this city, has written an
open letter to Root criticising the re
fusal and tina secretary's conduct of
the war. as well as His treatment of
complaints of cruelties, etc. in the
Philippines. He says lie had testimony
that would have proved Funston's
gross military incompetence"
He then suggests that the secretary
summon a court, the members to be
named by General Miles, and names
several es-officers of Kansas
troops engaged in the Philippines,
whom he asks to be summoned in the
Funston case. He also suggests that
the secretary publish and widely dis
seminate "a report General Miles made
to the war department. and for which
there are constantly increasing calls"

It's surprising how quickly
children respond to SCOTS

the element of nourishment
their little bodies need. They
thrive on it.
Even few drops in the

better than SCOTS Emulsion
for growing children.
Why do substitutes for

Because they're worth less.
With one you wait in vain for

crease his vocabulary and to learn as
many as possible of the little idioms
of cat talk.
The professor has not yet completed
his dictionary of catalogy.
1t will not be a very bulky book, for
so far as known the cat vocabulary
has it's limitations.
There are a few words, however,
that are unmistakable. When a cat
says "Purrieu" very softly, he means
81 love you. You are really very good
to me-" That is when he is talking to
his human friends. When a mother
cat says that selfsame word, only roll
ing the T, and giving rising inf1ec-
ton to the last syllable, it is call to
her babies.
AS such it expresses a variety of
things. Of course, it signifies mater
nal love. 1t also means, Come here,
1 want to see you" Or it may mean,
Hurry, there is a dog coming!" This
is particularly the meaning when it is
given sharply, on a high key, and ut
tered several times in swift success
sion.
When a cat wants food he says
''Aelio," and when he wants water he
says "Aliloo." The difference in sound

is slight, but it is there just the same.
When Grimalkin wants milk he
makes a soft little La" sound, and
when he wishes good, raw meat he
has a queer little half-uttered "Bl."
which may be a contraction of blood.
This, however, the professor has not
yet decided.
A delicacy of which his catship is
so fond that he precedes eating by adj
miration, as, for example, saouse, is
asked for by the word which means
affection and also raw meat.
He asks for delicacies by saying
"Purrieu-bl,''
1t is almost useless to explain the
battle cry of the cat. 1t is sound
familiar to all ears and one which
may be recognized by any person,
whether an expert of the feline tongue
or not.
However, there are various stages
of the battle cry, ranging from a sharp
note of warning to a prolonged howl
of rage.
OF all the cats cries the one for
human aid is the simplest and the
most pathetic. ''It is just "Yew," ut
tered softly, but it contains a world
of pathos. 1t is a call which only a
heart of stone could hear unmoved.

as models for the best craftsmen of
to-day.
They were found in 1896 by Thomas
Nicoll, a farm laborer, while he was
blowing for a Mr.. Gibson near Linn
avady, County Londonderry, on the
shore of Lough FoyIe.
All the articles are of alleged gold.
The model boat is IA inches long and
8 inches wide, and is fitted with nine
rowing benches, oars, graphing iron
and other equipment. 1t weighs 8
ounces 3 pennyweight- The oars are
lance shaped, and there are fifteen of
them, each about 2A inches in length.
The model is made of a single plate of
gold, alleged with silver, which is slit
and rejoined at the bow and stern. 1t
is, without doubt, true representa-
ton of the ancient seagoing craft of
the Irish, in which, as legend says.
they even crossed the Atlantic to
America before any other white man
saw it. The ''carraghs" to be found
yet in use at the Arran islands and
at Tory, vessels made of rawhide
stretched over ribbed frame, are
but decadent forms of those early de-
signs. The bowls are of plain pale
gold, each beaten out of a single
sheet, and about the size OF tea
cup. The largest weight 1 ounce 5
pennyweight and IL grains. 1t has

There were originally two golden,
or twisted, necklets, but of one only
about half Is preserved. The perfect
specimen is about five inches in
diameter and weighs 3 OF. dwts. and
9 grs.
The collar which was found is of as
beautiful design as any, though not
of such artistic execution as some of
the ancient goldsmith work in the
Irish museum. But it is an excellent
witness of the ability and skill of Irish
craftsmen, and to the high civiliza-
ton of Ireland in very ancient times.
The collar is 71z inches in diameter
and is hollow. A section of the tube
measures LIS inches across. It is
formed of repousse plates of thin
gold folded over tubular frame, and
soldered together The relief work
is executed in dashing and brilliant
style. 1t is believed to date from the
first century of the Christian era.
Arthur James Evans, archaeologfst,
after discussing the possible Viking
origin of the ornaments, dismissed as
far-fetched the suggestion that they
were plundered from shrine. The
collar, he said. was undoubtedly an
ancient Irish fabric, and was the finest
example existing of that class of gold
work. The conclusion which Mr.. Ev-
ans formed was that the articles were

manner suggested by the defendants.
The theory put forward that these
articles were votive offerings was, in
his opinion, very improbable one.
There was no evidence at all to sup
port the assertion that they were
votive offerings. They seemed to him
to belong to a time between the late
Celtic period and the Introduction Of
Christianity into Ireland.
Mr.. George Coffey, Council Member
Of the r. 1. Academy, and keeper of
antiquities in, the National Museum,
Dublin, deposed that, in his opinion,
all the circumstances pointed to the
conclusion that these articles were
concealed treasure. There was no evi.
dence that the ancient Irish made
votive offerings to sea gods. The
very fact of the finding of these orna-
ments excluded such a theory.
Mr.. Fraser, C. E., said he had made
special study of the geology of the
north coast of Ireland. His opinion
was that the elevation of the beach
was completed in prehistoric times.
Mr.. Grenvilie Cole, professor of ge-
ology in the Royal College of Science.
Dublin, agreed that the upheaval of
the land at Tough FoyIe occurred be-
fore the close of the stone age in Ire
land, and that age was distinctly pre-
historic.

GIANT SKELETON UNEARTHED.

giant has been found at Holbeach, q
little Lincolnshire fen town between
Lynn and Spalding, during excavations
for the foundations of two new houses.
Every bone was in perfect condition
and not a tooth was missing, but 1t
was soon broken into fragments, and
several townspeople seized sections as
mementos. The skeleton measured
seven feet two inches in length A
curious key, five inches long. with tri-
angular handle, was found near the
bones.
Stukeley, the famous antiquary. who
was born at Holbeach, records that at

claimed a well-known club woman
whose cats are famous, What q very
wonderful personi Does he claim to
be original in his discovery! Why.
everyone who ever owned a cat and
cared for it knows that cats talk.
They don't need to learn to talk. We
need to learn to listen and to under
stand. Cats, dogs, horses. all animals
talk to us every day, and the major
ity of US go about the world with our
ears sealed to their words. When we
learn to open our ears and hear what
they have to say, we shall be wiser
and they will be happier, for they
will then come nearer having just
treatment accorded them. 1t is partly
ignorance which causes inhumanity.
The average human being is cruel
only because he is ignorant of the
way to be kind
No. indeed, the world doesn't need
to learn from the feet of French pro-
fessor that cats have a language. All
it needs to do is to open its eyes to
see and its ears to hear and use it's
brains to understand"
Do you believe animals have souls ?
Lots of wise people do. A certain
New York clergyman does.
No one can prove that they do not.
No one has proven reincarnation to
be false. Therefore, the soul of an
ancestor may occupy the body of your

deposited probably in the first century
CA d., when the custom of making
votive offerings was very widespread
All the circumstances, he thought, as
well as the nature of the articles point
ed to the conclusion that these ar
tic1es were a thank-offering made by
some ancient Irish sea king to mar
inc divinity for having been saved
from the perils of the sea-
Mr.. Munro, Edinburgh University,
and member r. 1. Academy, saw, the

stance in Ireland or Scotland of votive
