Captain Pershing is native of Linn
county and his boyhood was spent in
Laclede. 1t was from the congress
sional district of which Linn county
then formed a part that he was ap-
pointed to West Point in the early SOS.
In 1885 he was graduated from West
Point and thereafter he served as Sec
ond lieutenant in the Sixth cavalry
and first lieutenant in the Tenth cav
airy taking part in the. campaign
against the Apaches and Navajos in
Arizona and New Mexico from 1886
to 1889 with General Chaffee and and
in the campaign against the Sioux in
1890 under General Miles.
Meantime Captain Pershing's par
ents moved from Missouri to Lincoln,
Neb., and when in 1891 the soldier
was rendered the offer of professor of
military science at the Nebraska state
university he promptly accepted it, re-
naming there for four years. He at
once became immensely popular with
the students at the university and
made his department one of the most
popular and prominent in the institu-
tion. While he was at the university
Captain Pershing devoted his spare
time to the study of law and and in
1896 was admitted to the bar. Soon
after the outbreak of the Spanish
American war Captain Pershing went
to the Philippines and his record
there is now matter Of History.

A MISSOURlAN A MORO DATTO.
The Way the Vanquished Moros Honored
Pershins, Their Conqueror.

The Kansas City Star of last Sun
day printed the following concerning
former citizen of Laclede who hal
distinguished himself in the govern
ment service:
Captain John j. Pershing of the
Fifteenth cavalry will arrive in San
Francisco from Manila in few days
and then will go to Washington to re-
port for duty as member of the gen.
eral staff of the army.
As captain ofa troop ofthe Fifteenth
cavalry this stalwart young Western
soldier has been in command of de-
partment in the island of Mindanao
for several months and has done much
by his tactful, diplomatic methods to
bring about amuch better understand
ing between the refractory Moros and
the United States government and
army. Captain Pershing has led his
men in several sharp engagements with
the bolo men, but he has accomplish
ed far more towards establishing peace
and good feeling in the island by di-
plomacy and craftsmanship than he
has by force of arms. By his tactful
methods he subdued a powerful and
apparently implacable hostile religious
leader and that without firing a shot.
By bold dash he captured a fort
which the Moros regarded as practic-
ally impregnable. In that charge he
lost only three men. He constructed
roads through all but impenetrable
jungles and brought the remotest in
terror of the islands into close commu-
nication with the coast.
So diplomatic has been the policy

CAPTAIN JOHN J. PERSHING.
Cut used by courtesy of Kansas City Star,
pursued by Captain Pershing that the
natives of the island of fMindanao have
come to look upon him with great re-
spect and reverance. Not long ago he
was made Datto with the full Mo-
hammedan ceremony. Referring to
this interesting event the Manila Times
of few months ago said:
Captain Pershing, commander Of
the American forces at Lake Lanao,
has been consecrated a Datto by the
law and rites of the Koran. This re-
markable ceremony took place at Bay
an after the diplomacy of Captain Per-
shing had won the submission of that
that place. Pershing's conservation as
a Datto gives him distinction never
before enjoyed by an American and
should add to his already great power
among the Moro people.
"Many Dattoes from other tribes
were in attendance at the consecra-
ton and assisted in the ceremony. The
compact of friendship was made over
the Koran, Pershing being first con-
secrated as Moro Datto. The other
Dattos wore the full regalia of their
Office as chieftans of tribes, and the
strange ceremony was conducted with

BLIND COACH AT COLUMBIA.
DR.. Newell Perry Loses His Sight, But
Notwithstanding Attains
High Scholarship.

Stricken blind at eight years of age,
DR.. Newell Perry is marvel at 80
Sightless, he has gone through three
colleges and two schools attained two
degrees for eminent sch olarship, toured
Europe without guide or even the
use of a walking stick, and is now
coaching half a hundred Columbia stu
dents in the intricacies of higher
mathematics.
DR.. Perry returned from abroad a
week ago, after a three years. So
journ. He went through course at
the University of Munich, where he
was graduated with the degree of
doctor of philosophy. Before his de-
parture from Munich his treatise on
higher mathematics in German was
officially adopted as n textbook by
the university.
Dr. Perry's father was a ranchman
in Shasta county, Cal, and the boy
was prone to ramble. In one of these
ramblings he was accidentally poisoned
by ivy, which infected his eyes, and
in a week he was stone blind.

is four miles from the university and
is the only place for practice has re-
strained the "coeds," but it is easy OF
access by trolley car and now the new
coach has advised the girls to go ahead.
The other day four of them took prac-
tice in the rowing machine in the gym
nasiun. They expect to issue a call to
see if enough candidates will respond
to make the venture a success. The
girls heretofore have gone in strongly
for athletics and have several teams in
the sports they can follow.

ABOUT SUBMARINE CABLES.
How They Have Multiplied Since the
First One Was Laid Half
Century AFRO,

1t is more than so years since the first
submarine cable for commercial use
was laid in the straits of Dover. but all
the work since 1851 in reticulatine the
ocean beds with 100000 miles of cable
has been a training for the severer
problems of the Pacific, deeper bod v
of water, with longer spans, than any
previously encountered All the other
1850 cables. little and big, have afford
ed lessons Of value for this, the bold
est undertaking of the kind
AS usually happens, the Pacific no
sooner has one cable stretching from
Asia to North American shores than it
becomes possessed Of two. Apparent
ly nature abhors monopoly no less
than it does vacuum While the
s275,000,000 invested in submarine
cables pays very well on the whole, sa VS.
writer in the North American Review.
1t may be doubted whether at first the.
two Asian-American cables can earn
much profit. That, however IS not di-
rectly the question. When Dewey cut
the cable In Manila bay he decided
for the United States the point that
at least one Pacific cable must land on
our shores.

IN DICKENS MEMORY.
Tablet Unveiled In House at Bath
Where Author Used to Stop.
1t Was There That the Character OF
Little Nell First Occurred to Dick
ems other Characters Had
Their Birthplace There.

The anniversary of the birth of
Charles Dickens was made interesting
at Bath, England, which is rich in as
ISOLATION with the novelist, by the I'M
yelling of a tablet to his memory upon
IS St. James square, which Is the
house in which the novelist used to
stay.
The house is additionally interesting
to the lovers of Dickens because of the
incontestable evidence in his own writ
ings that it was here that the idea OF
the character of little Nell first oc-
Cured to him. When, moreover, it is
known that it was at the celebration
of one of his own birthdays that the
pathetic little figure rose in his minds
eye the double appropriateness OF the
proceedings is apparent.
The tablet was unveiled by Mr.. Percy
Fitzgerald, president Of the Dickens
Fellowship, who also unveiled mural
decoration to Walter Savage Lander,
who was Dickens greatest friend at
Bath.
In the evening there was notable
gathering of Dickens devotees at the
assembly room where the mayor pre-
sided at dinner. The menu card
sparkled with quotations from the
famous novels, and the toast list was
relieved by songs of the novelist's COM
position. Milk punch such as Mr.. Pick
wick so dearly loved was served among
the wines. The dinner took place in
the identical apartment, still called the
card room, in which for the first time
in his life Mr.. Pickwick fell among fe-
male cardsharpers.
Charles Dickens undoubtedly found
Bath worth visiting for the material it
afforded him. 1t is devoutly believed
locally that the very name of Pick
wick came from Bath. Every one
knows how Sam Weller was Disguised
to find the name of pickwick on the
back Of the Bath coach, and it is we'll
established that there was landlord
of the White Hart, the coaching ter
minus of that name.
The story goes, too, that Moses Pick
wick was adopted by a Lady who found
him an abandoned infant by the road
side at Wick, parish eight miles from
Bath. She called him Moses because of
the resemblance OF his adventures to
those of the patriarch, and Pickwick
because he was picked up at Wick.
Then it is a much-prized tradition
that the name of Snodgrass belonged
also to Bath, for there was an Alexan-
der Snodgrass who kept the old Gale
DOMAIN inn, now defunct, in Trim
street. Hard by one is shown the
room where the famous 'swarry.'
consisting of a boiled leg of mutton
and the usual trimmings" took place.

NEW SYSTEM OF TELEGRAPHY
One with Novel Feature by which
10000 Words nm Hour Are
Transmitted.

At recent test in Germany Of the
Pollak-Virag system of telegraphy n
speed of $4,000 words an hour was at
tanned. In transmitting, this system,
like other fast systems, uses a strip Of
paper previously punched with holes
representing dots and dashes. The
most novel feature of the system Is
the method Of receiving, says an cleo
trical paper. The incoming electric
impulses cause thin strip Of metal,
resembling a telephone diaphragm, to
vibrate and thus move n tiny mirror at
tached thereto. A slender beam Of
light from an incandescent light falls
upon the mirror, and is reflected
thence to "A strip of photographically
sensitive paper which is steadily UNI
rolled by clockwork when messages
come. Chemicals for development"
being applied the paper exhibits a con-
tinuous dark line, with upward pro-
jections for dashes and, downward ones
for dots. The message must then be
deciphered and the translation must
be written out.
