PARDoNED BY PRESIDENT.
Prominent Filipino Made Subject Of
Executive clemency.

Washington, July 29.-President
Roosevelt has pardoned Emilio Will
amor, a prominent Filipino, who in
December, 1900, was sentenced to be
hanged for murder. This sentence
vas afterwards committed to ten years
Imprisonment. Villamor was a men,
Der of an insurgent band operating
in Luzon. They captured Marcelo
Gadnug, a native corporal Of police
who, in addition to being a corporal,
acted as a spy for the American navy,
and this fact was generally known.
Villamor was an officer Of the in
surgent army, and vas on the court
martial that tried and disposed OF
Gadnug. 1t was for this that Villamor
was tried and sentenced. He served a
term of nearly three years. His par
don was recommended by army Of
fcers and the secretary of war on the
ground that Villamor's offense was
really political and that he was en-
titled to a pardon under the presi-
Dental amnesty proclamation of July
4. 1902. The president has approved
this recommendation.

Absolutely No Trace.

Sacramento, Cal, July 3O.-A spe-
cial to the Bee from the Folsom state
prison says that the latest reports re-
ceived show that. the militia have had
absolutely mo trace of the escaped
convicts since Monday night.
The fugitives are thought to be
doubling back in the vicinity of Lotus
to the neighborhood of Rattlesnake
Bar and the Zentgraff mine. The
country in which the fugitives are
supposed to be has a number Of de-
serted cabins and several orchards
which will afford them shelter and
food.
Guard Cochrane, who was stabbed
in the prison fight, is slightly worse
and his recovery is still doubtful.

Q H CHILDREN
How to Handle Animals.

There Is hardly a living creature"
said a naturalist. that will not permit
a human being to touch 1t If it Is done
In The ::Sh. way. It !s necessary to
be gentle and patient and ut the same
time without fear. | have seen natives
scratch the heads Of tigers and lions
within a few days after they We're
trapped. Hunters of wild elephants
often crawl among n herd and rub
their legs. The great brntes, although
they are on the alert. will permit the
caress and stand still until the plucky
hunter is able to slip 81 rope around the
leg Of the animal he wishes to rap
ture.
"In our own country l have seen
many men who can creep to a trout
stream and gently place their hands
under u rout. Very softly they rub
its belly, and the trout will lie quite
still until, with a s,ndden jerk, it is
landed on the bank.
II have also seen professional rat
catchers put their hands. palm upward.
before Il rat hole when the ferrets were
driving them. AZ a rat ran out 1t
would sit still for 81 moment On the rat

little daughter Of the family on his
knee. After awhile she looked mp into
his face and said. Bishop Brooks. you

thinking. Then he answered slowly:
IL ought = to = see your = dollie!
Well, If ought. I must. and I will"
