A PATHETIC APPEAL
Little Girl in Poverty Sends Old
Bill, Fathers Gift, for
Redemption.
Redemption.

mere are many pathetic appeals for
help in the daily mail received at the
treasury department in Washington,
but letter received few DAYS ago
from a little girl brought tears to the
eyes of the old clerk whose duty it was
to open and read it.
1t was the inquiry of a little girl
who, in the pinch of poverty, mad de-
cided to spend the 81 bill her father
gave her in his days of aff1uence as a
keepsake. because it was the first dol
lar he had earned as "a dentist. The
child had taken the bill to bank, and
was told it was too old to be good
She then remembered her father had
once told her no United States note
was never too old to be good, and SO
she had written to the treasurer of the
United States to find out.
Her appeal was not in vain. The let
ter follows:
"Dear MIR. Treasurer: Inclosed you
will find very old 81 bill whick my
papa gave me when he died. 1t is the
first he ever made when he first went
into the dental business. He told me
to keep it until | got hard up aud
needed it. Papa has been dead two
years. I need it very much now. l
took ii to the bank, and they said 1t
was too old, but papa once tod me all
United States money could be eX-
changed at Washington. Papa was all
through the treasury about four years
ago With mama. May be you met papa
he was thirty-third degree Mason
We had lots of money then, but papa
was sick two years, and Artie was SIGN
two years, and it took nearly all OF our
money. So now | must send this 10
you to exchange for new dollar DILL
as need it. Poor papa would feel so
bad if be knew we were in need OF
that dollar. 1t is not too old for you
to exchange, is it? Now good-by, from
Little ---.

PHILIPPINE
CENSUS
COMPLETED
Show That Archipelago Contains
100000 Civilized and 60O,.
900 UncIvIIizad Inhabitants.

San Francisco, Oct. S.-General j. p.
Sanger. former chief OF stan of General
Chaffee but latterly In charge OF the CEN
rus work In the Philippines has arrived
from Manila on his way to Washington.
The census taking began on March 2
and in six weeks It was completed. TWO
months preparatory work was necessary
before the task was undertaken. II was
acomplshed with the assistance or 700
enumsrators and the government today
a In possession OF 100000 names repre-
senting the civilized portion OF the native
population OF the islands. BY carefully
compiled figures the uncivilizsd popula-
ton n placed at about 10000
In discussing the work General Sanger
said:
There was no serious opposition en-
oountered In amy OF the larger Islands and
this was especially true OF Samar and
Y.evte. where there was no interference
whatever with the enumerators.
In the Island OF Gamaguln. north OF the
proyince OF Misamis, Mindanao the emu
nerators were threatened and opposed
and II was necessary 20 use force, but
Governor Corralles thought the demon
etration had other objects In view anc
that the census merely precipitated the
movement
'svicious people In Cebu spread re-
mort that taxation was the real purpose
in takirx the oensus and In two or three
barrios OF that Pueblo some objection was
made TO It."

Voters Say They Have Enough
Of Wisconsin for a While.
FIRST OPPOSITION IN YEARS
Present Senator Blamed for Defeat OF the
Electric Railway Scheme, but Hs
Declares He's Not.

For the first time In the towns his
tory there is an opposition ticket In the
feid against that of the regular Republi-
can party at jamestown, and 1t was
chosen at a caucus OF the Citizens party
last evening. Though there has been
talk OF opposing Senator Watson and w.
r. Caswell. who Is nominated for repre-
sentative at this election the statement
was considered chiefly talk and when the
caucus met last night. there was somo-
thing of a surprise In certain circles.
The voters, or part OF them nave
credited the defeat OF the Electric Rail
way project 10 the l.. J. Watson. the
state senator and nominee of the Repub-
lican party for reelection and they de-
clared they have had enough OF them.
At the caucus. which was presided over
by b. +. Cottrell and OF which Albert
8. Boone is secretary. these candidates
were unanimously chosen:
For senator. John z. Watson; for rep
resentative, Edward q. Iittleheld.
Nearly 80 signers were secured TO the
nomination papers. and the required num-
Der will be secured before the time ex-
pires for filing them.
A committee consisting Of Messrs Lewis
w Anthony. Alvin II. Peckham and N.
3. Iittlened was appointed 10 look after
the party's interests.
Senator ]. ]. Watson entered the eau
Gus and said he had nothing TO do with
the defeat of the street railway, he said
he was at church during the meeting and
the noise OF the political gathering dis
turbed him so that he thought he would
come In and see what was going on. After
speaking he left the room.

Echoe. Of the Coal str,,....

An interesting aftermath of the coal
famine last winter has recently come
to light in the civil courts. Much Of
the business Of these courts consists Of
what are known as landlord and ten
ant cases. In most Of the disputes aris-
ing from broken leases the tenants
have sought to justify themselves for
moving out by claiming that there was
q lack Of steam heat during the cold
weather. The landlords Invariably
combatad this testimony by claiming
that 5thnre was no coal to be obtained
at the time. Some Of the landlords of
tho high grade apartment houses,
whore the leases represent q good deal
Of money, made the mistake OF calling
their engineers to corrotorate them.
The engineers whom cornered testified
that they used only SUFFICIENT coal to
keep the cold storage plants II the
houses frora freezing. These plants are
very costly. and had they frozen up
and the pipes burst the damage would
have been about SCI. 900. It was due
TO this fact alone that many OF the
best apartment houses In the city were
left without any heat at AIN. &.

The French have found reason for
the popularity of the cakewalk in Paris.
The. thing is French! One of the ne
groes at the NouveauJ Cirque, inter
viewed by Paris paper, says that the
origin Of the dance was French. Ac-
cording to this latest account, some of
the French refugees from the court Of
Marie Antoinette introduced the minuet
into New Orleans about the time OF
the revolution, and 1t was the native imi-
tatien of the most fashionable dance In
Europe, that was afterwards developed
into the cakewalk. I'M
