MINDoRo,s WHITE RACE.
Expedition to Ascertain Whether
One Exists In the Philippines.

Expedition to Ascertain whether
One Exists In the Philippines.
The United States government pro-
poses to run down the story of the ex-
istence of u race of good looking and
energetic whites in the mountains of
the island of Mindoro, in the Philip
pines, says Harper's Weekly. 1t ap-
pears that an expedition has been or
gained to penetrate into the interior
of AIindorO and find out whether such
people exist there. The story about
them has been obstinately persistent.
The best version of it seems to be
based on the report of Manuel Castro,
Filipino, to one Lieutenant Lorenzo
de Clairmont. Castro claims to have
visited this white tribe, which, he says,
has lived in the Philippines since long
before the Spaniards came there and
centers in a town of 10000 inhabitants.
He says that the members of the tribe
are warlike and have effectually dis
couraged intrusion on their privacy by
Spaniards, though they have dealings
with trading Filipinos. The men are
described as fair haired and blue eyed
and the women as surprisingly hand
some. They live in well kept homes,
are fond of athletic sports and know
agriculture and some of the arts.
Lieutenant de Clairmont's name does
not appear in the army register for
1902, but if there is such an officer in
the Philippines who has we'll inform
ed native friend Castro and if Castro
is a truthful person and knows where
of he speaks there may be an interest
ing item of chronological news coming
from MindOrO, which will at least be
useful to the makers of comic opera.
There was recent story that certain
companies of isolated Jews had exist

out to be true.

ALFRED HENRY LEWIS.

sharp attack of Lewis and sent a sec
Ond to demand satisfaction. While ne
gotiations were going on it was discov-
cred that the Mexican nObleman had
Informed the police with the view that
nothing serious should result.
On learning this Lewis sent word to
| the prince that if he ever met him on
the streets of Washington he would
do whatever was necessary in the
dueling line with Il club. 1t is said
that for several years Iturbide was not
to be seen on the streets of Washing
ton.
According to several Washington
newspaper men, many of the witty
epigrams attributed to Thomas T..
Reed were originated by Lewis while
he was the correspondent of Chicago
paper, and they claim that he did
more to achieve for Reed a reputation
Tor brilliancy and quick wit than the
statesman ever did for himself.
''In reading over the Congressional
Record" said Washington CORE
spondent, lone rarely finds any of the
bright flashes of wit that Reed is cred
tied with making. and it frequently
happened that after some particularly
apt remark had made its way east
ward from Chicago the correspondents
of the New York dailies would be
sharply called to account for having
failed to note these bits of wit. To
these complaints the New York CORE
spondents invariably replied that Reed
had said nothing of the sort, but they
were never able to make these denials
as coming from Reed. He realized
that Lewis was aiding him to main
tain reputation that would have been
lrksome to sustain by himself"
While Lewis has been hailed as the
successor of Bret Harte as the writer
of realistic tales of the west, he diff
fers widely from that author both in
method and result. He does not depend
upon pathOs and as yet has not en-
ployed tragedy, although he doubtless
could deal artistically with either ele-
ment Neither is reliance placed on
comedy. Rather there is a draft made
on all three, yet the pathOs is only
suggested, the tragedy background
a thread running through, at times
lost in the web of the story.
Mr.. Lewis has been described as Il
writer who makes his readers see peo-
pie, makes them hear his characters
talk and share their emotions. He does
not appeal to the heart so much as to
the appreciative and reasoning intelli-
gence,
Peggy O'Neal'' is the most preten-
tious of his stories. 1t deals with times
and incidents hitherto left to cold and
pulseless historians. The book gives
new light on 'Old Hickory" and GER
tain events which had much to do with
the history of this nation. OF his other
books ''Wolfville" and ''Sandburrs"
have been the most favorably received.

A DRAMA OF THE CLINIC.
How DIR. LOrenz's Prompt Action
Snved Boy Patient's Life.


While Professor Adolph ]. LorenZ
was operating on the club foot of an
eight-year-old boy, Allan Nichols, at the
City hospital in Rochester. \. Y, he
noticed change in the appearance of
the skin on the foot and, turning quick
ly, saw that the anHsthetic had been
too strong and that the boy had
stopped breathing, says the New York
Evening Journal. Without moments
hesitation he stopped work and. way
ing aside the attendants, began to re-
store respiration by artificial means.
Although at one time he feared his ef-
forts would prove unavailing, he con-
tinued until the little chest heaved
again and the lad was fully restored.
The case was such Il difficult one
and the surgeon was obliged to use so
much of his strength that he was work
ing barefooted in order that he might
not slip on the polished floor. As he
crushed and manipulated the deformed
foot he explained the process to the
large number of physicians assembled.
Without losing his iron nerve for a
second. he quickly seized the boys
arms and proceeded with artificial

he worked for at least u minute, and
then he murmured:
HE is gone"
Still he, did not cease his efforts, but
rather increased the rapidity of his
movements. An attendant brought an
oxygen tank, and fully three minutes
after the boys breathing had stopped
the great surgeon dropped the little
arms and, turning to the silent onlook-
ers, said, without a change of tone:

| that time Mr.. BristOw's career had
| been confined to Kansas, where he
had gone from Kentucky, his native
state, when eighteen years old.
! After graduating from Baker univer-
sity, Baldwin, Kan, he was elected
clerk of Douglas county, but his nat
uraI bent was for newspaper work,
and in 1890 he purchased the Salina
Republican and five years later acquir-
ed the Ottawa Herald. lie was pri-
vate secretary to Governor Morrill, for
two years and secretary of the Repub-
lican state committee from 1894 to
1895
When Major Mckinley, then govern
or of Ohio, made q visit to Kansas in
1894 Mr.. Bristow accompanied the
Buckeye governor on the special train
provided for the tour. Mr.. Mckinley
and Mr.. BristOw became well acquaint-
ed. and the latter developed into an
enthusiastic supporter of the late pres
ident in the campaign of 1896. He
was a delegate to the national conven-
ton that year, and it is a matter Of
political history that Kansas was the
first northern state to declare for Nc

When the terrible condition of the
postal business in Cuba became known
President Mckinley and Postmaster
General Smith designated Mr.. Bristow
to visit the island and investigate the
situation. He was in Cuba from the
middle of May, 1900, to the beginning
of the following July, during which
time he made q thorough Overhauling
of the postal affairs of the island. On
his report were based the prosecution
and conviction of several of the per-
sons concerned in the affair.
The present fourth assistant post
master general has in charge the regu-
lar inspection force of the department,
some 200 men, who go through the rec
ords of every money order office at
least once year. inquire into depreda-
tons upon the mails and serve as a
check upon pOstmasters. They are to
the postal service what travelling au-
ditors are to railroad systems. Mr..
Bristow's hatred of dishonesty, as a
cardinal principle of his philosophy,
has been characterized in all his man
agement of this branch of the service,
which has been maintained at a high
standard of discipline and accurate ac-
counting Mr.. Bristow is forty-two

| Robert j. Wynne, who is credited
with having started the inquiry into
| the alleged postal frauds, was ap
pointed to his present responsible posi-
| by President Roosevelt in November,
| 1902. He was then one of the best
known and most experienced newspa-
per correspondents ut the national cap
ital, having had journalistic career
in Washington of over twenty years.
The only previous Office he had ever
held was that of private secretary to
Charles Foster, secretary of the treas

and at that time Mr.. Wynne was
urged for the post of assistant secre-
tary of the treasury.
Mr.. Wynne is native of New York
and is fifty-one years old. He was ed
ucated in the public schools and later
learned telegraphy in Philadelphia,
finally going to Washington. His first
newspaper work was on the Cincinnati
Gazette under General Henry V. Boyn-

correspondent.
At the close of Secretary Fosters
administration Mr.. Wynne became the
correspondent of the New York Press,
which position he retained until he
went into the post office department
His principal writings are on the tariff,
financial and economic subjects. At

president of the Gridiron club, and he
is also member of the Army and Ma

HOW LEWIS, THE AUTHOR, GOT HIS
KNOWLEDGE OF THE PLAINS.

Writer Who Is Said to Have Helped
Make Tom Reeds Reputation as a
Wit For Years Rode the Ranges.
His Latest book.
Alfred Henry Lewis, political writer
and author, whose new historical novel,
Peggy O'Neal,' is attracting attention,
has been in his time lawyer and cow
boy as well as literary man, and first
became widely known as a Washing
ton correspondent and writer of sketch
es of frontier life under the pen name
Dan Quinn.
Mr.. Lewis career began in the legal
profession in Cleveland and wound
through the cattle ranges of the south
west, where he led the life of a cow
puncher for several strenuous years.
Driven from his home in Cleveland in
search of a kindly climate, Mr.. Lewis
took up his quarters in Arizona and for
years lived the outdoor life of the state.
He rode with the cattle on the ranges,
learned all the arts of the COW puncher
and won back health. There also he
met the ''old cattleman' and many 9TH
ers like him and made them famous in

the only man who has written of the
cowboy as he really exists. Some of the
most interesting stories of Lewis are
those which have to do with his expert
ence on the plains. There is hardly a
section of Arizona and New Mexico
with which he is not familiar and but
few places in the Texas Panhandle
that he has not crossed at some time or
other with cattle or freight wagons.
Lewis first attracted attention in
Washington as correspondent of the
Kansas City Times. Bitter and sar-
castle in his criticisms of public men,
he managed to make himself heartily
disliked. ON one occasion his vitriolic
pen caused him to be challenged to
fight Il duel.

DREDGING MANILA HARBOR.
Interesting Relics Fished Up by a
Rig DredEer.

Interesting Relics Fished Up by IA
Rig DredGer-
The great hydraulic dredger now at
work filling the section of the harbor
at Manila that is to be reclaimed has,
since it begun operations, brought some
queer objects to the surface, but moth
ing more interesting or valuable than
an old quadrant brought up a few days
ago, says the Manila Times. The old
nautical instrument bore the date of
1903 and was in a perfect state Of
preservation. 1t was made of gun
metal, and was evidently lost by one
of the ancient galleOns some time in
the seventeenth century. 1t was turned
over to Engineer Pope, who had it
cleaned and who counts it a great
treasure.
Before the big dredger was started
a receptacle for any heavy objects
taken up by the pumps was fitted up,
and some very interesting articles have
been dropped into it and saved by the
workmen Many old shells and cannon
balls have been found and a number
of old ships fittings have also been
raised The dredger is working in the
neighborhood of an old anchorage, and
it is expected that during the progress
of the extensive harbor work many
things of interest and possibly of value
will be brought to the surface.

EXTENT of Foreien travel,

The indications are that foreign
travel will this summer exceed that of
any previous season. Sixty-seven sail
ings a month of first class passenger
steamships will be made from New
York for European ports. This is pro-
vision for $4,000 passengers between
April and September. An expert esti-
mate puts the amount paid for steam
ship fares at $31 100000 and the ex-
penditures in Europe at $70.00o,Oo0.

RosEBoRo PARTIALLY CONFEssEs
Omit That He Killed Mrs. W.
But Gives Few Details.

Wilfred RooseborO, the negro in jail
day, September 10th, for the murder Of
Mrs. Dovie Beaver, has partially con-
fessed committing the crime. He first
confessed or gave his side Of the story
of the murder Saturday morning to
Rev. A. J. Arthurs, a colored minister
who has been visiting him since he was
put in Jail.
Roseboro admits now very freely that
Re killed Mrs. Beaver on Thursday,
July 30th. About s o'clock that morn
ing, according to his confession, he was
passing Mr. Beavers house. He went
to a peach tree in the yard TO get some
peaches. Mrs. Beaver saw him and or
dered him off the premises n he took
offense and a something to insult
her. She struck at him with a hoe
twice, he lodged the blows and sized
her throat, checking her till she died.
When asked if he did not strike Mrs.
Beaver in the head Roseboro replied
that he was about drunk at the time
and didn't remember it if be did. He
said the killing took place IN the yard
diiC d1lSI lie cIlOhOu ISI " QSdlI lie
threw her body in the we'll. He say
he had no assistance and that he did
not outrage Mrs. Beaver.
After killing the woman Roseboro
says he tool the pistol from the house
and went to his mothers, where he
spent the day.
Rooseboro was asked if he was gull
ty of other crimes committed in the
Cool Springs ~neighborhood and ac-
credited to him and he replied that he
was not. He says he was in States
Vile the night Mr.. P. r. HOupe'S store
was burned.
Roseboro was seen at the Jail yester-
Cay but said he had nothing to add
to what he has alredy told. He is
occupying an iron cage at the Jail by
himself and is chained at night SO that
escape is impossible.
1t is the general opinion that Rose
toro has not yet told the whole story.
He offers no explanation as TO why he
returned to Beavers house after he had
passed there on the morning in queS-
ton, as the evidence of Beaver showed
that Roseboro had already passed the
house and gone some distance towards
his (R~oseboro's) mothers home when
last seen.-Statesville Landmark.
