TROPICS BAD FOR MORALS.
Manila Paper Explains the Downfall
of Many Officials.

Washington, July 23.-An interesting
theory is advanced in explanation of
the recent defalcations of army officers
and civilian employees in the Philip
pines by the Manila Times, a copy of
which has just been received at the
war department.
'It would SEEM" says the paper.
that several years spent in the tropics
has a tendency to weaken the moral
fiber, make one Indifferent to the con-
sequences of a criminal act and reckless
of any concern for the future. The
fact that in the majority of instances
where trusted employees have been culp-
able they have made little or no effort
to cover up their populations other
than in the most bungling manner
tends to show that but little thought
was taken for the day of reckoning.

NEGRO HAD AN AK.
Three Leipervllle Women Had a Ter
rible Experience.

Chester, Pa, July 23-Justfce Gray of
Leiperville, held in 1850 bail for trial
at court William DENLY, colored, ac-
cused of running amuck with an axe
and causing a reign of terror in the
streets of that suburb today. The accu-
Sation sworn to against Demby at the
hearing was as follows:
Drunk, and swearing he would have
blood, DENNY with his axe staggered up
to the residence of Mrs. Dorsey, struck
the door blow with the axe and sent it
swinging open with crash Two women
sat in the room with MIS-. Dorsey, and
as DENNY swung the axe for blow
they ran screaming from the house,
with the colored man in pursuit, swear
ing that he would kill them.
Leiperville is an Irish settlement and
the town was speedily reused to high
pitch of excitement. But Demby was
sober enough to see his danger and
dropped his axe and ran.
He was caught by Officer Robinson of
Chester who took him back to Leiper-
Vile, with the result as above stated.

the Street.

Williamsport, Pa, July 23.-Dr. A. c..
Lamade today worked for five hours to
save the life of 15-year-old Maggie Hun
ter, who was found by policeman on
a street Keeling in delirium. She soon
became unconscious, with all the evil
dences of poisoning. A man who had
been with the girl escaped
When the girl was restored to her
senses she told a startling story. She
said that while walking along the street
she was approached by stranger, a
sharp-eyed man, who looked into her
eyes like a snake, then passed his hands
before her face.
She tried to run, but the man stepped
in front of her, keeping his eyes on hers
constantly, and repeating the hand
movements until she remembered moth
ing but a half-whispered command,
Follow me-"
She has a flmy recollection of enter
ing a room where several tables stood,
and then she was given something to
drink by the man.
The next thing she remembers was a
violent struggle with the stranger, and
then she found herself in an alley, along
which she ran, her companion following
at her side. 1t was in this alley that
the policeman found her. having heard
the girls strange pleading to be left
alone The stranger ran away.
DIR. Lamade says the girl had evident
" been given Knockout drops. She is a
nervous wreck.

BENDER WILL EMIGRATE.
Promises to Seek Location in Other
Lands.

John Bender. proprietor of the Magnet
restaurant, has agreed to sell out his
shop and move away, and the police
have agreed to forget the disorderly
house charge they made against him.
Bender was convicted in police court,
but the evidence was such that he stood
an excellent chance of having the case
thrown out when it reached the district
court. Bender says he has intended for
some time to emigrate, and although he
is confident that the district court would
save him, prefers the way proposed by
the police to coming back here in Sep
TENDER for trial. The cases against the
girls found at the Magnet when it was
raided have been dismissed.

Low Water in the Yukon.

vancouver, B. c., July ga special
from Dawson says: The low water IL
the Yukon is causing considerable
worry to steamboat men. So far this
season no boats have arrived mere from
at Michaels. and it is feared little
freight sent in via St. Michaels will be
landed in Dawson this season. The
chief cause of the extreme lowness OF
the water is the light snowfall OF last
winter combined with the cool weather
and the absence of any rain during this
season. Many claims are also closing
down for want of water.
