Beware of the AIluring Stories About
Pay Dirt in the Islands.


Report is circulating in the States
papers to the effect that placer gold
in a certain portion of one of the
Philippine Islands is very plentiful,
says the Manila Times. 1t is pointed
out that natives have been successful
quantities by crude processes; also
that the peaceful condition of the
country at the present time gives OPP
portunity for visiting the interior of
the islands. Upon such report gold
fever is spreading and a rush to the
islands prophesied.
While we are not informed touch
ing the motives that gave rise to these
reports, it is well to remind prospect
ors and miners, who may act upon
taken with several grains of allow
ance. There is every reason to be-
lieve that the mining industry of the
archipelago will, in time, be valuable;
that it will be one of the chief factors
in bringing white men and capital to
the islands, but as yet there is much
speculation over the outlook. So far
as known, no important discoveries
have been made, while many ventures
to gold-bearing sections have ended
in tragedies. No information has
been secured from the interior regions
beyond the fact that gold is present
in the gravel of the streams.
Any considerable influx of gold seek
ers at this time is not to be encour-
aged. Until gold deposits have been
discovered sufficiently rich to guaran-
tee the belief that there is something
more than rumor in the coming gold
production of the Philippines. wild
rush to the islands would be disas-
trous. Natives have mined here for
many years and continue to do so
after their fashion, but the tests of
the gold-bearing ground have not been
such as to justify statements or re-
ports that would bring an thrush of
gold hunters. AS has been the case
in all great stampedes, in short time
many of the adventures would be
stranded Ill the islands, condition
here that would bring more disastrous
consequences than would be met on
the bare tundras of Boring Sea.
Touching upon the peaceful condi-
tons of the islands there is no ques-
ton but that there is great improve
ment over the situation of previous
years, but the best informed would
hesitate long before risking the perils
of trip far into the interior without
ample protection against the lawless
bands. The safety circle does not yet
include the mountainous regions-the
future home of the prospector In
gold seeking in the Philippines, the in
dividual prospector will make greater
haste by moving slowly

A "FAklR,s" CONFESSIONS.
chicago, He Says, Is the Only ''square"

Shicago, He Says, IL the Only "sQuare"
City.
In the current Independent are pub
'fakir" who for obvious reasons re-
mains anonymous, from which account
1t appears that the business is profit
able.
The fakir's real beginning as an in
dependent operator was in Chicago, of
which he says: Chicago Ia the only
square town in this country-that is,
square from a fakir's or grafter's
point of view. You pay for protec-
ton and you get it."
He paid the captain SIS for a week
for permission to sell knife sharpeners,
and gave the man on post about a
dollar day. He was warned not to
try any tanning" or 'slum" at this
low rate. These privileges cost $40
and S. day, respectively.
TANNING is getting possession of
the money of crowd on the under
standing that 1t is to be given back,
and then whipping up fast team
OF horses and driving away. "Slum"
is selling packages of jewelry. hand
kerchiefs, etc.
There are towns that are not
square" In Cleveland the confess
ing fakir paid for protection" and
was afterward arrested and fined.l
Then he went to New York, concerns
ing which it is his testimony that il.
Is town of ''easy marks" New
York is CLOSED" except just before
Christmas, but there is something do
ing In "sneak pitches is, in
"squaring" the man on post and sell
ing for a few minutes between the
visits of the rounds" However, when
the artist tried it he was arrested by
the very man he had bribed, and
thence went to Philadelphia, of which
he says:
philadelphia Is the cheapest city IL
the United States. The policemen arr
paid at the rate of $1.75 per day, AM
fakir who gives one Of them quai
ter for protection is hailed as Cal
negie. For dollar day the guax
dian of the beat you are working q
will keep your territory clear Of othe
fakirs and vote you prince of god
fellows.
There is not much money to W
made in Philadelphia by fakir, Il
various reasons. First, the people ha
an inherited trait of thriftiness; sd
ond, they live their lives less feve
ishly than in any other large city 81
the Untsed States; and there are hon
guards in the town, who take care 0
all the surplus cash floating around.
New York and Chicago are the hea
quarters for new novelties, and f*
kris of the first class secure the nj
things. The fakirs keep In touch w
the novelty supply complaints for nj
things, and scan the papers constak
ly for announcements which indie
some unusual event that will draw
crowd.

In Hands of Receiver.

Chicago.-The Lake Street Elevated
Railroad company, capitalized at $10,-
100000, has been placed in the hands
of a receiver in pursuance of a reso-
luton passed by the board of directors
asking for the appointment. The or
der was entered In the Cook county
circuit court by Judge futile, who ap-
pointed the Equitable Trust company
receiver for all the property of the
company. In the bill, which was filed
by James Bolton and Daniel e. Chilly,
stockholders in the company, it is al
legged the company is hopelessly insol-
vent, and that this condition has re-
suited from the reckless extravaganza
and fraudulent conduct of Charles T.
Yerkes and his associates and the man
agement of Clarence A. knight and his
representative"

A PROMINENT CHURCH WORKER SAYS
She OWES Her LIFE TO PE-RU-NA

any permanent improvement.
Her treatment had cost her husband
who was poor man, hundreds Of dol.
lars. They had been obliged to deny
themselves many comforts Of life in or
der to get money enough to pay the
physicians.
The woman had become weak, ner-
vous and wretched, and scarcely able
to keep out of bed. Her children
were growing up neglected and ragged,
because of the want Il a mothers care.
Her husband was becoming discouraged
and broken down with overwork.
Picking up the paper one day she
happened to read an item which con-
tanned the news that DIR. Hartman
would treat such cases free of charge by
letter. She Immediately wrote the
doctor describing her case, and giving
him all her symptoms.
She soon received letter telling her
exactly what to do, and what medi-
cines and appliances to get. She be-
gan the treatment (the principal reme-
dy being Peruna) at once, and in few
weeks she was we'll and strong again,
able to do her own work.
This offer Of free home treatment to
women is still open to all who NAV
need the, services Of this eminent ply
stefan. All letters applying for treat
ment will be promptly answered, and
be held strictly confidential.
Miss Annie Hoban, Post Pocahontas
Of Yemassee Council of Red Men
(Woman's Branch), writes from S72
Eighth Avenue, New York:
Three months ago / was troubled
with backache and a troublesome heavi-
ness about the stomach. Sleep
brought me no rest for it was rest
less sleep. The doctor said my nervous
system was out of order but his pre-
scriptions didn't seem to relieve me.
| was told that Peruna was good for
building up the nervous system. Al
ter using it for two months know now
that it is. / want to say that it made
a new woman Of me. The torturing
symptoms have all disappeared and I
feel myself again. Peruna did me
more good than all the other medicines
l have taken" ANNIE HOBAN.
Miss Mamie Powell, Lake Charles,
Louisiana, writes:
II sincerely believe that Peruna is
woman's best friend, for it has certain-
ly been that to me. / had had head
aches, backaches and other aches every

fornia, writes from 1917 Fifth St.,
Los Angeles, CAL, as follows:
l have never known of any patent
medicine which did what it protested
to do except Peruna. This remedy
does much more than it claims, and
while I have never advocated any med
icine l feel that it is but justice to
speak a good word for it because have
found it to be such rare exception.
II have known several women who
were little better than physical wrecks,
