tion Concerning the Filipinos.

1t seems that Judge Parker Is not
more veracious than d. b. Fill and
other -shaders of the denocra-
tic party In his speech OF accep-
tance on August 10 Parker made the
amazing statement that the cost of
maintaining American rule in the
Philippines amounted to $65O,OOO ,O0D.
and In speech at Esopus few days
ago, he swelled the cost to 81, 200 900, :
900. Either Of these two sums is so
far from the true amount that
It was expected the democratic cam
didate would explain his error, but it
does not seem to be his policy to
make corrections Secretary of War
Taft, who has had more to do with
the government of the Philippines
than any other man, waited nearly two
months for an explanation from Par
ker, but none came. Finally, on octo-
Der. 8, Mr.. TAFT, In speech at In
dianapolis, showed the utter falslty OF
Parker's statement pointing out that
the sum named was gross exaggera-
tion. Instead OF over one billion doll
lars or even ss5O.OOO,O0O as stated by
the democratic candidate, the cost OF
the Philippines to the United States
has been only s1ss.OOO,OOO besides the
s2O,OOO,OOO paid In Spain, making the
total cost s1Ss,OOO,OOO. Mr.. Taft adj
ded that the cost year for main
tanning courts, and the additional cost
of maintaining $4,000 troops in the
Philippines instead Of in the United
States, all taken together, do not ex-
ceed $5,OOO,O0O year,
Three weeks have passed since
Taft publicly called atten-

PIRATES HOARD is FOUND.
Chart Discovered in Panama Tells Ex-
actly Where Gold of Morgan the
Buccaneer Is Buried.

''The treasure of Morgan, the Buc-
cancer" is the title Of story brought
to Mobile, Ala, the other day by the
officers of the Norwegian steamer Fort
Gaines, from Bocas del Toro, Panama
1t is an interesting story, for it has to
do with the gold and coin of Morgan, the
famed buccaneer of the caribbean, with
the people Of the new republic of Pan
anna and with North as well as Central
Americans.
In the days when Morgan sailed the
southern seas, he was a most successful
pirate and captured many vessels laden
with rich cargoes of gold and coin.
Somewhere in the caribbean he had his
headquarters, where was kept the booty
Of the expeditions.
Now comes the tale from Bocas del
Toro, telling of the finding Of chart
drawn by the buccaneer, or his private
secretary, designating a certain spot
on a certain tract of land where one may
find a small amount of treasure, and
some more charts, telling of more treas
ure.
The government of Panama has given
a veteran pilot. Samuel Haggioal, and
his party permission to dig on Zapatilla
key. an island outside of the Chiriqui
lagoon
When the Fort Gaines sailed out OF
Bocas the searchers had dug up many
old guns and swords and had reached a
cement vault, in which they expect to
find the pirate treasure. Bocas del Toro
is wild with enthusiasm.

MYSTERY i. IN A WELL FIND.
Curious Collection of Articles Are Dis
overed-Thought to Have
Been Bewitched.

Some of the cab drivers Of Florence,
Italy, who nightly stable their horses
in a large courtyard situated in the
suburb of San Jacopo, have been per-
turbed by mysterious noises proceed
ing from an old well near by.
The well, they maintained, was be-
witched, Notwithstanding that the pc
lice explained that the noises were
caused by escaping carbonic gas. To
reassure the men, however, 1t was de-
cided to make an investigation. The
other day the well was emptied, and to
the establishment of those present a
number of very curious articles were
discovered. Among them were heart
shaped leather cushion, inside which
was a lambs heart pierced with 80
needles. The heart was wrapped IN a
stamped addressed envelope, upon
which the address Of a young girl liv-
ing in the neighborhood was written.
Further, they found fragment OF q
marble tombstone. bearing the in
scription, Here repose the ashes" and
a small glass cylinder, with a pareh-
ment stopper, and containing a dead
toad. which was also pierced with SO
needles, the toad being tied with a
lock of woman's hair. To all appear
ances the matter resolved itself into
an old-fashioned method of witcn-
craft employed against the girl whose
name appeared on the envelope.
A curious point about the affair is
that two days before the discovery
was made the girls relatives received
letter from San Francisco. whittier
the girl had recently emigrated, stat
ing that she was on her deathbed A
Tilted lover Of the girl is suspected Of
being the originator of the affair.
which has created a considerable SEN
sation in the neighborhood.

"Just wait a few minutes until I

risse, a reporter on the Binghamton
N. Y, Evening Press, when Detective
Robert Stephenson came into the
newspaper Office and told the young
man that he was under arrest. The
reporter was writing a story of the
burglary of the millinery and ladies'
furnishings store of Mrs. E. Donnellin.
The detective arrested him for com
hitting that crime. After being taken

that he committed the burglary, and
also that he broke into the grocery
store of Frank Boyce some time be-
fore. The police had been unable to
get any clew Of the perpetrator of the
Boyce burglary. Gorisse is but 19
years old, and is the son of a Penn
sylvania clergyman. He has been a
reporter on the Press for several
months and was quiet and unassum-
ing, and one of the last men that any
one would have suspected of commit
ting such a crime. 1t has come out
that he had been dissipating and was
living beyond his salary and commit
ted the burglaries to secure more
money.
