RELICS FROM PHILIPPINES
AHE BETNG SENT ROME CONSTANT
LYEY NM BERTEsoAK
rntiI he Has Now a Very Large and
Costly Collection, which Is Greatly
Prized by the Family.

Mr.. Bert Boak, son of r. aud Mrs,
J. S. Boak of West King street, is
constantly sending home some relic
or curio that he has collected in the
Philippine Islands where he is located
now, p~raeticing dentistry in the en-
ploy of the United States Govern
ment. He has now a large and cost
" collection of relics of all discrip-
tions, including draperies, costumes,
articles of their manufacture s.and all
kinds of weapons.
The most interesting part of the coll
lection is the weapons, as all of them
have a history connected with them.
He has a kriss that vas taken from
the dead body of an American soldier.
he having been killed by the Insur-
gents. the blood stains are still on the
weapon, another is a bola that had been
used by the Insurgents in killing an
American sergent. The PHILIPPINE
was afterward hung by the Govern
ment for the deed aud Mr.. Boak Sc
cured the weapon from the authorities
under many difficulties. There is also
a Chinese sword that was found on
the dead body of one of the high Off
eials, with AN inscription on it which
shows that it was formerly the prop
erty of a Chinese prince. Among the
things that were received the first'part
of this week was a Chinese Mandarin
sword which is greatly priced by him
and has connected with it a history.
He has also collected a number of
arrows used by the native. the most
of them with the poisoned TIPS, the
poison in them still being retained.
All of the weapons have been in SER
vice and were collected by him in
many cases under great difficulty and
cost.
In the collection there are a vast
amount of flags used by the.Tnsurgents
the principal one of which is one full
of bullet holes that was taken when
the noted I%nsurgent leader, Aguinal-
do, vas captured. and battle flags
used by the different tribes on the is
land, they all having different flags.
There is also a large collection of
material of their manufacture and
draperies showing that they are skilled
very highly in the making of these
goods. The most valuable and costly
of all is the collection of ornaments
and orther things that were collected
from the old TEMPLES. when they were
destroyed during the war.
The collection throughout is "A large
one and other than being highly urized
by Mr.. Boak. it is priced as highly by
his parents.

Who Will Be Urged for the Demo
cratic Nomination for Governor.

ment in the party throughout the state,
is very anxious to have the Col. make
an effort for the nomination. Mr..
Walker is one of the ablest young law
yers in the state ard his ability is be-
yond question. He has always taken
an active interest in politics and like
every other man who has made a SUI
cess in life is ambitious. 1t is known
that he is an aspirant for the United
States Senate. when there is an oopor-
tunity for Il democrat to go to that
branch of Congress.
Mr.. Walker is a native of this coun-
ty and stands high in his prof ession
and in the estimation of the people
who have known him all his life. He
has grown up among them aud thew
know him to he a man of character
and ability. He has a most clever dis
position and is sociable and agreeable
to all who come in contact with him.
He is,a law partner of ex-senator G.
J.. Faulkner and with the latter prac-
tices in the higher courts.
Nj. Walker has ALWAYS been identi-
fed with II @ democratic party and
ever since the campaign of 1884 he has
been on the stump. He is in great de-
mand throughout the state whenever
there is a campaign on hand and al
ways makes an impression where ev-
er he speaks.
Mr.. Walker has served in the legis-
lature and was district attorney the
first Cleveland administration, He
is popular all over the state, but hardly
more so than right in his own home
and it would be most gatifying not
only to the members of the demo-
cratic party in this county but many
of the opposite party. if he should Sc
cure the nomination.
Mr.. Walker W i'll hardly seek the
nomination, as he considers that his
practice is more profitable to him
than running 70 governor in a state
that has been for the past several
years republican. If, however his
friends insist on his taking the nom
ination and Mr.. Walker consents to
accept. there is no doubt bat that he
a get it without any opposition. If
Mr.. Walker is given the nomination he
will go into the fight with all his
energy and will do all in his power
to win. He is an untiring worker
and "a splendid stumper and if there is
any mar in the state hat can win
the governeship for the democratic
party Mr.. Walker is the man.

The Younger Democrats viii Urge
His Nomination.
NOT AN Av0WED CANDIDATE
One of Berkeley County's Most Prominent
Sons Spoken of For This High
Position.

A dispatch from Wheeling this morn
ing says that the Hon. Stuart W.
Walker. of this city. has announced to
his friends in Wheeling and through
out the state that he will be a candi-
date for the democratic nomination for
governor.
Mr.. Wa lker was engaged all morn
ing and this afternoon, on an impor-
tant case that was being tried and a
representative of The Evening World
who sought a statement from the Col.
was unable to get a lengthy inter-
view. Col. Walker said that he was
too busy today to discuss the matter.
Col. Walker is not an asowed AN
didate for the honor of being governor
of the Mountain State, but it is a
well known fact that the younger ele-

An inquiry among real estate dealers

70 the fact that ii one has a house he
lis lucky for the getting Of another is
almost an im~nossibility. One real ea-

hundred applications from persons
who wanted TO rent houses and he
didn't know OF a house he cuuld ret.
The demand IL especially great for
houses for working people with Il rem
tai Of from ten to twelve dollars IN
month.
With such demand for houses the
owners of dwellings that are for rent
are in a more independent position
than ever before. as there is not the
slightest trouble to get tenants. "One
man said Yesterday he applied to his
landlord for some papering, which
was politely denied with the remark
Il have an offer from two people of
several dollars a month more than Won

Tenant did not know of another place
he could get, he is doing the papering
himself.
Moving seems to be a necessity with
some people, for thew seem never to be
contented if they cannot move every
first Of April. Perhaps ii is a surviv-
al of the old nomandio habits Of our
forefathers. when they lived in tents
and only STAYED a short time in anv
II place. The d~iscomforts Of moving
do not brighten these nomads and bro
ken and descrepit furniture has no ter
rors for them. But this year is differ
ent. To leave where they are would
mean to camp in the streets, so the
men who do the moving say they will
have much less co do than ever before.

Buffalo. N. Y. March to.-Mrs.
Arthur Pennell died at the Sisters 81

O'Clock. For hours yesterday the sur
geons worked over the unconscious
form of the injured woman. A faint

ing consciousness %percoptible during
the "a hours the injured woman was
kept IN the hospital ward. Toward
evening a rising temperature aud Il
%quickening pulse warned the surgeons
that the end was near. and word was
sent to her brother. who lived III New
York. Before he arrived at the hos
pital Mrs. Pencils pulse ceased to
beat. Except for a few incoherent
words uttered when she was first ia
ken to the hospital Mrs. Pennell's lips
did not move.
The hodv of Mr.. Pennell was re-.
moved from the morgue TO an under
talfiug establish ment and prepared
for hnsial. Ii was decided that the
rem Jus Of both Mr.. and Mrs. Pennell
would be taken TO Mr.. Pennell's for
mer home, in Brunswick, Me-. for
burial.
Mrs. Abbey Pennell, j Fred pennell
mother and brother of the dead mar
land Henry w. Lamb. a brother of
Mrs. Pennell. arrived from New York
They were taken to the Pennell
house, on Cleveland avenue All call
srs at the Penncli house were deni ed
admission.
At s O'Clock Fred Pennell, Mr. Lamb
and Thomas Kennev. ex-district attor-
ney and a former partner of Mr.. PEN
nell, went to the Austin Building and
searched the desk of the dead man. A
policeman who has been on guard ever
since the fatal accident occurred stood
by while the search was being made.
A number of important documents
were found, including a will of recent
date. 1t is not known when the will
was drawn up. but it is said to have
been within the last year. What the
provisions of the will were il not
known, as none of the three men who
saw it would discuss the matter.
The automobile which carried Mr..
Pennell and his wife in the lunge to
the bottom of the stone quarry on Ken
sington avenue was carefully examin-
ed. The brakes and lever were
given particularly close attention. Ex-
perts in the construction and manu-
t~acture of automobiles were called in.
The result of the examination eft no
doubt in the minds of anv of the men
present that Mr.. Pennell did every
thing in his to regain contro
of the vehicle when il careened. The
brakes were tightly set; tho 20 wer
indicator pointed to reverse. and
the track Of the wheels in the soft
earth on the ridge between the street
pavement and the quarry showed that
the wheels were turning backward
when the machine sped forward to de-
struction.

AN ANTITRUST BILL.
MEASURE TO BIZ REPORTED FRIDAY.
The House Probably VIII Consider the Bill
Early Next week-A Statement That tho
Bill Furnishes tho Machinsry for OBJ
tanning Essential Information.

Washington, Jan. 15.-Representa-
tives Littlefeld, Of Maine; Over
street, Of Indiana, and Powers, Of
Massachusetts, republican members
Of the subcommittee Of the house
judiciary committee, had q confer
ence with the president yesterday at
which there was free exchange of
views on the subject Of an antitrust
bill. 1t Is said the administration
and the committee members are In
harmony so far as policy is con-
cerned and that the only points of
difference relate to matters of detail.
Members of the committee feel
confident, since the talk with the
president, that the bill which 1t had
prepared several days ago, and which
will be reported to the full commit
tee on Friday, will meet the approval
of the administration and be gener-
ally acceptable. The subcommittee
will meet at three o'clock this after
noon, when such changes will be
made in the proposed bill as may
have been suggested as result Of
the conference. 1t is understood
that an effort will be made to secure
immediate adoption Of the bill. by
the full judiciary committee on Fri.
day in order that it may be consid-
cred by the house early next week.
There is reason to believe that the
subcommittee will adhere to that
provision Of its bill which provides
for the promotion Of publicity
through the present interstate COM
merce commission, rather than to
create a new commission for that
purpose. The leaders of the house
have been quite generally acquaint
ed with the material features of the
subcommittee bill. ...
One member Of the subcommittee
said yesterday: "The purpose OF the
bill is to catch the guilty, II there are
any, and no harm can come to the
legitimate. The bill furnishes the
necessary machinery for obtaining
all essential information"
