Tattooing.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat
Tattooing is almost universally practiced
by both sexes OF the natives Of Africa. IL
Is. however very roughly done and is all
together inferior to the tattooing of the
Maoris OF New Zealand and other Pacific
races. The method of operation Is simply
to make slit in the skin and then to rub
in charcoal. Among the less pleasing fem.
mime ornaments must be reckoned the
nose buttons of the Wa-Yao and the fright
full pelele or lip ring of the Anyanja. The
nose button is circular disk Of ivory or
FURNISHED lead, let into one side of the
nostril. Ugly IS is the effect produced by
this 1t Is yet thousand times less hideous
than the pelele, which consists of a round
fat piece of ivory. or wood, fixed In a slit in
the upper lips. The slit is gradually in.
creased by the insertion of successive plugs,
each a little larger than the preceding one,
until II can accommodate full-sized pelele,
which sticks out an inch or more in front
of the face, rendering the appearance OF
the wearer scarcely human.

Victim Of Mad Dogs Bite - Worried
After Taking Treatment.

Srecal Dispatch to The Evening Star.
CUMBERLAND. Md, August S.-Jere-
miah Leasure, aged sixty-two, whose death
Saturday morning Is attributed to a mad
dog bite nearly a year ago. was buried here
today with Odd Fellow rites. Members OF
his family think that death was due to
rabies, or, at least, he suffered from some
severe brain disorder which showed hydro
phobla symptoms.
1t was with difficulty that his clothes
could be kept on him. He had to be locked
In a room. and he tried to hide In ward
robes. etc. After he took the Pasteur
treatment he worried greatly lest he be
stricken by hydrophobia, but he tried to
keep the matter concealed from his family
The last five or six hours were peaceful,
but he frequently yawned with vigor. Death
came without a struggle.

IGoRROTES TO BE RECEIVED BY
PRESIDENT.
Secretary Taft Denies Story That Fill
pinos Will Appear in
Loin Cloths.
au4-d de- Dis

Secretary Taft this afternoon made the
following self-explanatory statement:
The visit of the chiefs of the Moros and
chiefs of the Igorrotes to the President is
made at the request of these chiefs. The
War Department advised the President to
receive Them on the ground that there were
in the Philippines about 100000 MOros and
about 10000 1gorrotes; that the desire of
the chiefs to see the President was natural
and exactly like that of the Indian chiefs
VINO are constantly received at the White
House by the President as the Great White
Father. The Igorrotes, in their natural
state, wear very little clothing, but when
ever they visit the governor in Manila, or
attend upon the governor when he visits
them in their own province, they wear or
binary clothing, and they will do so when
they visit the White House just as they
are in the habit of doing when they visit
the authorities of Manila.
they visit the authorities in Manila.
THE character of the Igorrote as a man
capable OF civilization is not to be judged
only by the lack of clothing that he wears.
He is generally peaceable. industrious,
truthful and honest. and Rial. the Philip
pine patriot was in the habit of saying
that he looked to the people of the noun
tains one of the strongest bases for
hope of the progress and Improvement OF
his people Under the occupancy of the
among the Igorrotes, which was a re-
ligious rite, has been practically eliminated.
This statement is given out in view of
unfounded reports in the press, spread pos
sibly for advertising purposes, which should
be contradicted."
Anxious to Express Loyalty.
When Col Edwards, chief Of the bureau
of insular affairs was in ST. Louis recently,
members of the Moro tribe expressed to him
a desire to go to Washington. They said
to him that their people wanted them to
see the President and profess their loyalty
to the United States government, and to
say further that they did not sanction the
conduct of the datto who is now resisting
American authority. Accordingly arrange
ments were made for a visit of party
of Moros to the President.
When the Igorrotes heard that some OF
the Moros were going to Washington they
likewise expressed a desire to visit the
national capital as, 1t is said that all the
Filipinos are very anxious to see this city,
of which they have heard so much.

says: William r. Sheehan Is to be thu
next United States senator from the ern-
pire state IL Judge Parker wins this fall
and the democrats capture the legislature.
There has been more or less mystery about
Mr.. Sheehan's motive In taking up task
which his physician and relatives disap-
prove, such as is involved In the manage
ment of the national campaign In the east.
The motive is made clearer by the admls-
sion of Mr.. Sheehan's intimate friends tliat
he desires to succeed Senator Depew, whose
term expires next year.
Ex-senator Hill some time ago disclaim-
ed any desire to accept emoluments of any
character from Judge Parker. In case tho
Judge should be elected President Mr..
Sheehan has made no such disclaimer.
1t is understood that Judge Parker mas
assented to the proposition that Mr. Shee-
han shall go to the Senate In the
democrats capture enough assembly ana
senate districts to control a joint ballot. IL
is regarded as absolutely certain that Snee-
han could secure his own election against
the opposition of David Il. Hin and Charles
+. Murphy. as he would have the backing
of the federal and state Administrations.
