KILL SLAVERY AND POLYGAMY.
General Leonard Wood Is to Clean Up
the Moro Country.

General Leonard Wood Is to Clean Up
the Moro Country.
Slavery and polygamy, annexed With
a lot of other things when we retired
from Spain from her Pacific colonies III
1899, are now to be wiped out Ill the
Asiatic United States as they have been
in the United States Of North America.
That is the real purpose of the assign
ment Of Gen. Leonard Wood 70 Wy III
the Philippines. In all the official refer
ences to his new duties the impression
has been conveyed that he was to go into
the Moro country to ''clean it up and
put things into a more wholesome clylc
and hygienic condition, as he did in San
tiago after the close of the Cuban war,
and it is further known that his ultimate
destiny is the supreme command i'll the
Philippines, which his friends hope he
will be able to make the stepping stone
to the head of the army at home. But
Gen. Wood will not go to the philippines
by the most direct route He Will pass
slowly through Europe and make ole or
two stops by the way, even after he
reaches Asiatic waters. This is with a
view to picking up some information
and suggestions from European governors
of experience in such matters as to the
management of polygam0us ana slave
holding native people.

DYING NEGRO v1NDIcATEs HIM.
Alan G. Mason of Boston, Wealthy
Harvard Graduate, Not a Murderer.

Alan G. Mason. the wealthy Harvard
graduate once accused of numbering two
Boston women as the result of a mania,
has at last secured complete vindication.
In a deathbed confession, given to the
public by Sheriff Fairburn, George l.. o.
Perry, a mulatto, makes full confession
to the murder of the two women. Yes,
| killed Clara Morton and Agnes Nc
Phee," declared Perry as he lay dying.
Thus, through the mulatto's final impulse
toward justice, Alan Mason is forever
cleared of suspicion of connection with
the dreadful crimes that stirred Boston
and all the country side last summer and
fall Had the negro died with sealed lips
it is probable that Mason would have
been suspected by thousands OF having
been the slayer Of the two young Wom-
en-. Mason was arrested last November,
charged with being the perpetrator OF in
Vulnerable attacks upon women near
Boston and Cambridge, one attack having
resulted in the death of Agnes McPhee
on Oct. and another i'll the death of
Clara Morton on Nov. 1. Mason succeed
ed however, in establishing a partial
alibi and the prosecution, for lack OF
testimony to break down the defense,
withdrew its case.

Central Revolutionary organization has
decided on 4 general uprising at once.
The Nizam battalions and the Third
Army Corps have been placed on war

VETERAN SENATORS GO.
Washington Will Miss a Number Of
Notable Lawmakers.


With the close of the Fifty-seventh
Congress there retire from congressional
life a number of men who have been
identified with national legislation longer
than any others now in Washington.
They are Senator Jones of Nevada, call
ed 1.-THE father Of the Senate" Senator
Vest of Missouri, Senator Jones of Ar
kansas and Representative Galusha
Grow of Pennsylvania. Senator Jones Of
Nevada is one of six Senators who have
completed five full terms. Congressman
Grow retires after q congressional ca
reer Of longer than half century, hav-
ing succeeded himself six times.
In Senator Jones Of Nevada the Sen
ate loses one of its most popular as well
as most unique members. He has been
known as a great, silent force. In all
the thirty years of his service he has
not introduced more than half a dozen
bills, yet his influence upon the national
legislation has been exceeded by that Of
few Senators now in the national body.
He has seen the personnel of the SEN
ate change many times and has been the
associate Of many of the most consplcu-
Gus men in the nations history.
Senator Vest belongs to the next gen.
Grafton. He entered the Senate in 1871,
and throughout his service has won m
enviable reputation for the brilliancy Of
his oratory. His health has failed con-
siderably the last few years. He has be-
come almost blind. Yet he has not allow
ed the fact TO interfere with his public
duties.
Another conspicuous figure which will
be missed will be Senator Jones Of Ar
kansas. He has seen almost as much
service as his namesake of Nevada.
In the retirement of Congressman
Grow there leaves the House one Of the
most beloved and noblest men who have
ever occupied seats in that body. He
has been one of the political landmarks
Of Pennsylvania during a public life of
nearly sixty years. Although he will be
so years old if he lives until Aug. 81,
he is in splendid physical condition. The
most important measure fathercd by
Grow (signed by Abraham Lincoln) was
the homestead law, by which nearly co.
OO0,00OO0O acres Of public domain has
been occupied. He was Speaker during
the first two years Of the Civil War
Like many another public man whose
political existence has embraced so long
a period, Mr.. Grow has been a member
of more than one political party. He Is
one Of the few men Of whom it can be
said that he carried his district practical
II unanimously.

County, Ohio, beat an alleged green goods

Barnes produced $1,000 in good money
and Dickinson asked to look at some CT

protested he would expose the game. The

A vicious Plymouth Rock rooster Sc
riously and perhaps fatally wounded the
19-months old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Chas.
Dexter at Middletown, Ohio. The rooster
was in a shed and the child at play en-
tered the outbuilding, when the rooster
flew at him, knocking him down and
striking him time and again with his
spurs. The mother, hearing her baby 5
screams, rushed to his assistance and
drove the bird away. Physicians were
summoned and everything possible was
done for the child, but there is small
hope of recovery. Should the boy sur
viye he will be totally blind from the
terrible blows of the ROSTERS spurs.
