OMENS AMONG GOLFERS.
Some Curious Beliefs Among the Welsh
Miners

Ihe collier openly expresses q strong
belief in omens. From the scope which
his hazardous work offers to their pecu-
mar manifestation it is, upon the whole,
to his credit that it should be so little
disturbed by them. But occasionally the
dread of vague peril, heralded by some
specially ominous portent, is too strong
Tor his Imagination, and he drops work at
all costs. The dread is infectious, and a
profound nerve storm will sweep over a
mining village, shake the souls of the
workers and keep them out of the mine
uhtll time shall have proved their fears to
DE groundless. 1t is the supposed super
natural touch which tells in giving the
imagination room for action, for the col
Her has fully proved that he does not lack
courage to meet a known danger. AS vol
uhteers III searching the mine after an
explosion, when without q shadow of
doubt death is waiting at every turn in
the dark roads, the difficulty is to keep
the men from croWding into the cage for
the descent But if the collier sees what
he regards as an omen he loses his cour-
age completely, and will on no account
descend to work
there is something uncanny about
some of the GOLFERS omens, judged in
tnelr gloomy setting. The Golfers at a
Welsh colliery refused to work because a
female figure had been seen waving a
light i'll distant gallery. Although all
the omens Of the collier are significant of
impending evil, their forms, strange to
say, are those of grace and light A fe-
male hgure waving light is not in itself
a dread nor an ungracious figure. A
white dove, again, is singularly benign
and graceful object; yet white dove
perched on the framework above a mine
on one occasion SO impressed the men
about to descend that they stoutly refused
TO go down. 1t is, however, but fair to
state that similar appearance of a dove
In the same place a few years previously
had been followed by a fatal explosion Of
hre damp: Two of the chief conditions
taYoring the existing state Of superstition
are the darkness in which the work is
done and the risky nature of the work
The electric lighting of mines and the
reduction Of accidents owing to it, and
other improvements, will probably be the
strongest agent in lifting the incubus of
belief in omens off the soul Of the collier
1t will be a welcome relief, for he has
enough to dread without going to the SUI
pernatural world.--London Hour Glass.

MORMON ARITHMETIC.

When Johnnie Mormon went to school,
In Utah by the lake,
lis youthful record as fool
Completely took the cake.
His mental dullness sorely tried
His patient teachers tact;
He couldn't add, nor yet divide,
No more could he subtract.
At last the weary teacher said,
Il fear you are a stick.
i cannot beat into your head
Just plain arithmetic"
Years passed and Johnnie Mormon got
\ dozen wives or sc,
And in pleasant acre lot
He let his children grow.
In school l never learned" said he,
ITO add or to divide;
But by my forty children. see
How l have multiplied!

men or four at the most, the leading spirit
being a Spaniard named Ruiz socialist
agitator, who has spent his entire life In
making trouble. He was engaged In the
same line of business during Spanish domi-
nation and was successful in persuading the
government to pay him liberal bride to
keep quiet. He has not been able to exact
blackmail from the present government, and
has had great difficulty in collecting a suf-
ficient amount from sympa thizers in Manila
to pay his printing bills and personal eX-
penses. OF late contributions have stopped
and he has tried a new method of raising
money. He had quantity of bonds printed,
obligations of the Universal Democratic
Republic of the Philippine Islands to pay
to bearer the sums expressed on the face,
and succeeded in persuading two brothers,
the sons of an old friend, both of them In
the employ of the government. to offer them
for sale among the patriots" of Manila.
They were promised lucrative offices under
the republic when established, and were
authorized to deduct from the proceeds
liberal commissions
The constabulary has very active ana
efficient secret service under the direction
of Major Samuel D. Crawford. an old news
Paper reporter of Erie. Pa. He has agents
and informers in every strata of Filipino
society, and thus knows all that transpires
and keeps closely in touch with the Hong
Kong junta, and its Manila sympathizers.
Major Crawford having learned of the bond
speculation as soon as it was launched.
promptly arrested the young men and
seized several million dollars of the securi-
ties of the proposed republic This is
simply one instance of many that have
occurred. The penitentiary is half filled with
similar conspirators.
Trial of DR.. Gomez
There have been four trials for sedition.
One is now going on before Judge Amber
and is in its fifth MONTH although it has
not occupied the entire time of the court
for that period. Other cases have been
tried between times. The defendant is
Dominidor Gomez Jesus, or DR.. Gomez.
as he is Familiarity called, native of the
Philippines. who was educated in Spain and
obtained degree as physician and surgeon.
He secured an appointment as surgeon
in the Spanish army and was chief medical
officer on the staff of General Weyler while
that amiable gentleman was in command
of the Spanish troops in Cuba. He never
had anything to do with the insurrect on in
the Philippines and did not return here un-
til long after it was over. After the war
he organized junta in Madrid and started
newspaper called the Filipines ante Eu-
ropa for the purpose of opposing Ameri-
can sovereignty. In 1900. after peace had
been fully restored DIR. Gomez came to
Manila, took the oath of allegiance and
gave Governor Taft great deal of advice
as to the proper policy to pursue and the
proper way to manage his fellow-country-
men. The governor received him cordially
and treated him politely. and Gomez would
have accepted position under the govern
ment and made first-class "amigo,s as
the l0yalists are called, but nothing was
offered him. and he easily fell in with the

opposition, making the acquaintance of an
agitator named Isabella de los Reyes, who
had organized sort of labor union party
among the workinSmen, called the Union
Oblera Democratica, and Immediately in
stigated a strike He was arrested, tried,
convicted and sentenced to Imprisonment
for blackmail and extortion, and DR.. Gomez
took his place at the head Of the union.
Subsequently Gomez improved his social
and political connections by becoming the
president of the nationalist, or independ-
ence, party, and published a newspaper or
gan called the Los Obreros He is a brill
liant writer and speaker, being possessed
of a magnetic eloquence which is capable
of arousing ignorant and emotional people
to frenzy. And he has remarkable facility
as a writer His admirers call him 1.-THE
smartest man in the Philippines"
His Literary Ability.
Early in his trial the board of education
offered a prize for the best essay on GER
tain stated subject. The manuscripts were
submitted with fictitious signatures, accom-
panied by a sealed envelope containing a
card upon which the real name of the au-
thor was written. When the judges select
ed the best essay they opened the envelope
bearing the fictitious name of its author
and found that the prize had been won by
D. Gomez who had written the essay in
the court room during his trial. AT sec
Ond contest, which occurred a few weeks
later, the daughter of his cook took the
prize with a paper which he prepared I'M
der the same circumstances and handed in
with her name.
He has been indicted and prosecuted sew
eral times for confidence games, for en-
beZzlement, for the diversion of the funds
of the Union Obrera Democratica'' to his
own personal uses. and is under a four
years sentence to the pententiary, which
has been suspended during his trial on
more serious charge. Volumes upon vol
umes of evidence have been produced not
SO much for his conviction as to expose the
schemes and methods by which political
agitators have been swindling the people.
The prosecution has already had whole
