An Old Story.

They came together with a ''howdy
do?"
Old friends who hadn't met for many
a year;
He was a weedy bachelor, it's true,
And she a spinster Of most welcome
cheer.
They'd "gone together in the oldcn
days
Days long spun out behind them
both. I wot;
To one another's wonder and amaze
Slight things came up that neither
had forgot.
"You used to think that Jenny was a
gen.
Said he: "And you, you fancica
frcckly joe"
at brings old times a-talkin' over
them.''
Said he: "I'm thinkin' just the
same, you know"
AilI JcllH , Hull WIS SlIutll-NilS
it not?'
Said he: II swear that Joseph's hair
was red"
"You picked out Jenny from the
choicest lot
Said he: "And you picked Joseph
out instead"
And then little chilliness there fell
Between these old-time friends of
long ago.
On Jcnny's modest beauty she would
dwell,
While he kept lingering along on
Joe.
"But Jenny didn't seem to fancy YOU"
Said he: "And Joe he hooked an
other girl
His black eyes looked into her eyes of
blue
Till fancy seemed to take another
whirl.
And then arose the dream of oldcn
days
While Memory it took them for its
own;
This spinster she has still woman's
ways
And he, oh, lie has been so long
alone!
\ pair of friendly hands they met
and she
Just sighed beneath a whisper:
More than Joel"
And then tile happy bachelor, said he:

MURDERED AND ROBBED
Boarding House at Portage, Pa, Blown
Up to Hide Double Crime.


Johnstown, Pa, Feb. I0-A bastard
resulted in the wrecking by dynamite
of an italian boarding house at Por-
tage, this county, early yesterday
morning. Two persons are dead, two
are injured and a score of others had
miraculous escapes from death when
the explosive let go. The conclusion
broke the windows In all the buildings
for nearly square and did some other
damage. The dead are: Tony Grillo,
aged A; Mrs. Tony Grillo. aged Al.
The scene Of the affair was an Ital-

boarders.
When the explosive let go the in
mates were hurled in all directions, but
the most of them escaped serious in

were found buried beneath the ruins
OF the building, which was completely
demolished.
The boarders are all employed about

house, yet persons familiar with its
use say that at least % pounds must
have been put of under the room
where Grillo and his three little girls
slept. 1t was stated that Grillo had
between 5000 and 500 and his wife
$500 more in the house, but none of
the money has yet been found, and
the theory is that it was stolen by some
one who killed the couple and then
exploded the dynamite to cover the
crime. Evidence which developed yes
terday afternoon tends to strengthen
this theory.
The coroner's examination disclosed
the fact that Grillo's head was crushed
as If by some heavy instrument, and
his ribs were all caved in. Further
investigation is being made

FILIPINO BANDITS ROUTED
Fifteen Killed in Engagement With
ConstabuIarY.

Manila, Feb. 10.--A force of 100 con-
stabulary, under Inspector Keithley, on
Sunday defeated a body of 200 insur-
gents near Mariquina, a small town
seven miles from Manila City, after a
severe engagement, in which Inspector
Harris and one man of the constabulary
were killed and two other men of the
constabulary wounded. The enemy left
Is dead and three wounded Inspector
Harris home was at Atlanta, Ga.
The body of insurgents formed the
main force of the irreconcilable General
San Miguel. The constabulary were
divided into three detachments, which
were scouting in the Maraquina VAL
ley. The detachment commanded by
Inspector Harris came upon the enemy,
who were in strongly intrenched po-
sition. Inspector Harris fell at the
first volley, being hit five times. The
detachment of constabulary, although
outnumbered, held its position until
Inspector Keithley with the main force
arrived, when the enemy were put to
rout Their headquarters were cap
tured and burned, and the constabulary
seized the records of General San
Miguel, who claims that he succeeded
to the command of the insurrectionary
forces when the other generals sur
rendered. He has only a handful of
men under him, and his operations
have been of no consequence. The
wounded Americans are all severely
injured.

SECRETARY ROOT AND THE
NEGRO.

Hon. ELrHU Roof, Secretary of War
delivered speech at the fortieth ami.
versary of the Union League Club in
New York, February 9th, 1908. 1t was
q notable production and may be taken
TO be an expression of the administra-
aon at Washington We confess that
we have scanned carefully the lines
and find much therein which will con-
stitute food for serious thought and Sob
CT reflection.
The speech was remarkable for what
1t does and for what it does not con-
tain. We confess that we have been
able to extract but little comfort from
the close. concise, but blunt words
which this distinguished statesman mas
seen fit to make virtually direct to the
public.
Analysed under the searching rays of
MONDAY sun, he declared that there
were two ominous problems confront
ing the government to-day One is the
hboring white man and the other is the
struggling Negro This is a clean-cut
statement Of fact. He did what every
thinking man in the country would
have done-recognize that labor wheth-
ar white or black must stand on the
same level and rise or fall together.
He dealt the labor organizations or
rather some of them sledge- hammer
blow when he remarked:
There are some labor organizations
which fight against the better man do
ing more work than the poorer man.
and hold down the competent man TO
the level of the incompetent and stupid
do not declare war against labor or.
CARNATIONS. believe in them. The
laborer is entitled to organize to get his
own"
The above was very shrewdly stated.
He was equally as fortunate in his use
Of language when he said:
There are many problems coming
up to-day on which the safety of this
government depends. There are TO-DAY
situations Of possible evils for our conn.
Try that call for devoted patriotism
First, division between the rich and
the poor under which wealth control.

STEAMER WRECKED
The Mindiana a Total Loss in the
Bermuda Reefs.
HAD EXCURSION PARTY ABOARD
After Thrilling Experience All of
the Passengers and the Crew Were
Rescued and Brought Safely to
Land In Life Boats.

Land In Life Boats.
Hamilton, Bermuda, Feb. IL - The
Quebec Steamship Company's steamer
Madiana, Captain Fraser, which sailed
from New York last Saturday with a
party of excursionists for a special
cruise around the Caribbean Sea,
went ashore on the reef off this island
at o'clock yesterday morning. The
passengers had thrilling experience
The ship is a total loss, but all on
board were rescued and brought safely
to land after a perilous trip in life
boats from the wreck to a tug standing
mile off. The mails and the passen-
gers baggage were also saved.
All the passengers were in their
hunks when the Madiana struck the
rocks, but the shock of the impact
awakened them and they rushed on
deck, the majority of them without at
tempting to dress. Considerable alarm,
though not panic, prevailed among
the passengers when they found that
the vessel was hard on the rocks, but
the officers went among them and
Gained them, although a number did
not venture below again to seek proper
clothing. A part of the crew did not
share the GOODNESS OF the officers, but
the latter soon restored order among
the troublesome seamen.
Signals of distress were sent up, and
the passengers passed an anxious time
during the latter part of the night.
The Madiana listed heavily after a
time, and when morning broke she lay
broadside to the wind. The passen-
gers were huddled together on the
hurricane deck, and the sea, breaking
over the steamer. drenched them to
the skin.
AS soon as the news OF the wreck
became known here government and
other tugs proceeded to the scene tc
endeavor to render assistance A
heavy sea, however, was running and
they dared not approach too closely to
the reef on which the Madiana was
pounding. For some time no COM
munication with the Madiana was DOS
sible. The tug Gladisfen stood about
mile off awaiting an opportunity to
assist, but it was not until IL O'Clock
yesterday morning that II became pos
sible to effect a rescue The crew of
the Madiana launched a boat, but IL
could not live in the sea then running
and was dashed to pieces against the
steamers side. A second and more
successful attempt was made a little
later, and some of the passengers were
lowered into il, and after much ex-
ertion it succeeded in reaching the
Gladisfen. The Madiana's other life
boats were then launched in success
sion, and the remainder of the pas
sengers and the captain and crew
gained the salvage tug in safety.
BY the prompt action of Engineer
Nelson, who had the Madianas bulk
heads broken through, the mails and
the passengers light baggage were
taken out and brought in the last
boats to the Gladisfen, which landed
the passengers, crew, mails and bag
gage here yesterday afternoon.
Speaking of the GOODNESS displayed
by the officers and passengers in spite
or the danger and discomfort of the
situation, a passenger said: cit all
passed off as though it were a part OF
the program of the cruise"
