FIuPINOS WILL BE
AT WESTERN AIR

Portland, Dec. 3O.-To the thousand
who visited the st. Louis exposition
and saw the wild tribes, the announc
ment that the Filipino natives hav,
been secured as an attraction for tn,
Lewis and Clark centennial will prov,
of interest; to the tens of thousands
Of stay-at-homes who have for many
months been forced to listen to exag
gerated accounts brought home by the
more travelled townspeople, the an
nonncement will prove doubly inter.
esting. The latter will see at last q
chance to forestall the ready story
teller. Can't you picture to yourself
the village grocery and the stay-at-
homo and the travelled.one9
Essay, you jest ought to see them
Filipino guys eat dogs. Why, one
day 10y
"Don't tell me about it. I'm GO
ing to Portland to see them for my
self"
The Lewis and Clark Filipino show
IL going to be better than that at st.
Louis. There may be q few less in the
grand total of islanders, but there
win be more really, truly head hunt
ers. There will be a number of n a
tive villages at the fair, the total pop
ulation aggregating some 800 souls,
and representing several tribes. There
will be the h%ead-hunting dog-eating
lgorrotes, the fighting Moros, the Ne
gritos, who are the real aboriginese of
the islands, and the gentle civilized
Visayans. The natives are expected
to reach Portland some time in April,
In time to build their habitations be-
fore the opening of the fair, June l.
The Flipinos, during their stay at
the fair, will live on the government
peninsula, where the government build
ings are located, forming a part of the
federal exhibit. The government pc
n%insula, which stands out like an is
land in the center of Guilds lake, the
natural "Grand BasinV of the West
ern worlds fair, is connected with the
mainland by the Bridge of Nations,
and the mainland end Of the bridge is
the amusement street of the exposi-
ton being called the Trail. The Fill
ipino display will therefore form a
sort Of climax, a grand finale, to the
wonders of "Traildom."
As was the case at st. Louis, there
will be no attempt TO restrain or modi-
fly the island customs of Uncle Sans
new subjects. The Filipino huts, con
strueted Of bamboo and nipa, will be
exact eounterparts of those they are
wont TO occupy in far-away Luzon.
The Moros will build theirs on poles
over the waters of the lake, while the
IgorrOtes and Negritos will build
squatty little huts in the wooded por-
tion Of the peninsula. The Visayans
more civilized and of more commercial
instincts, will conduct a native theater
on the Trail, and live in the theater.
Two OF the natives visited Portland
a few days ago, accompanied by DIR.
T. X. Hunt, who collected and had
charge of the exhibit at st. Louis.

MONROE WINS SUIT.
The Man Who Learned Telegraphy
 Wanted His Money Back.

The jury in the suit of Francis Frey against w. |. Monroe for $1OO dam ages decided for the defendant in the city court, civil side, Saturday even ing. It was a hard fought case. Frey claimed to have paid $40 tuition fee under misrepresentation. He held that the defendants business college was not what the advertisements claimed for it.
 The evidence showed that Frey was expelled from the school and that he procured position in a brokers office solely on what he had learned of tel egraphy in the defendants school, which the advertisement in question called the National School of Telegra. phy.
 It was also shown that there is but one other school of telegraphy in New England, that the telegraphic instru- ments used in the school were modern and sufficient, and that the teachers were up to date and competent.

NIGHT SCHOOLS TONIGHT
The City Will Open Free Schools This
 Evenin4.

The free night schools will open this evening at the High and Croft schools. This is a splendid opportunity for young people to improve their store Of learning and thus add to their equip ment for the battle of life. It is too bad that so few boys and girls see the advantage of the evening schools and prefer to fritter away their time in the club rooms and on the streets instead of doing something which they could turn to good account in the future. Don't be deterred from entering the night schools because you think you know enough and let nobody remain away through fear of being subjected to ridicule for being too far behind others. It is golden opportunity for people who are working and who are still young enough to learn something. What blessing it would be if all the youngsters who hang about the public ways could be induced to take up some study in the evening schools. 1t would be good thing for themselves and the community would profit by it, too.

ALDERMEN TO HAVE
 A SPECIAL SESSION

The aldermen will hold a special meeting at 7:3O o'clock tonight to con- sider the recommendation of the de- partment of finance relative to special appropriations. It is believed that the money will be ordered without discus sion. After the special session the ad- iourned meeting will be held, when it is understood the opinion of City At torney Kellogg will be heard relative to the Baldwin street trolley.S There will be no hearing on the Oakville exten- sion matter. This will come up later on. Some fellow who doesn't know what he's talking about says the crit ics of the trolley company regretted the company's back out to pay 55 per. cent of the cost of removing the abut- ments at the Oakville trestle. As stat ed herein before no such proposition ever was submitted to the city of Wa terbury by the trolley company. It was the other way, but the company did not care to settle and pay 55 per cent. Nobody could have regretted the failure to end the difference on this basis more than MT Kellogg did, and the city attorney never left himself open to the charge of being trolley critic or one of its catspaws, so that his view, of the situation might be con sidered Impartial, if nobody else'a would bear the test

CASH FOR ARMY LASSIE.
Frequenters of Saloon all "Chip In''
 to Help Her Cause.

Hartford, Oct 10. She was pale faced, earnest looking little woman, and when she entered the cafe Satur- day night, nobody seemed to notice her. She stepped up to the pinochle players. and extending her arm, placed a tiny box near them on the table. The box had a slot in it large enough to admit coin. Without pay ing the slightest attention to the wo- man the card players went down in their pockets and four plunks were distinctly heard in the tin box.
 Thank you," said the little woman in the poke bonnet and the blue dress, as she passed along ito the young men engrossed in game of pool. It was a three-cornered game, and three more resonant thumps were heard in the box. A tour of the tables resulted in many more plunks in the box, and the thirsty citizens at the bar passed out some of their change to the frail little woman, who thanked them in a word so gentle that their fippant and bois- terous conversation ceased for mo- ment and the men of free and easy style assumed as best they could a deferential manner, as though they were in the presence of lady of quail ity

Selling Tickets at Profit Right in
 the Depot.
 Hartford, Oct 1O-They tell stories of the time when the Vanderbilts used to stand on the river bank and offer free rides to New York with meal thrown in. But that suspicious situa- tion has recently been eclipsed in this city, The other day the management of the New York, New Haven & Hart ford road developed an excursion 10 New York, fare, down and back the same day only $1.25 The tickets were limited to 500 in all. Did they sell ]? Ask the fellows who sswere on." The regular fare between here and New York one way is $2.25. Getting tick cts both ways for about half the one way fare was like picking up money. Bystanders who had no thought of going to New York went to work and bought tickets as fast as they could get them, and, when the full 800 were disposed of by the company, they stood around and sold theirs for $2 or more. If there is another of thesd Klondfke opportunities opened, there will be plenty of buyers of tickets.
 The chance to make 76 cents a min- ute without even wearing ones shoe leather has not often been spread so easily before the observing bargain hunter. It was snap.

OPERATOR HELD UP.
Night Man at Newtown Attacked and
 Beaten.

Newton, Oct 1O.-What was doubt less a well planned expedition to as- sault and rob Night Operator North at the station of the New York, New Ha ven and Hartford railroad here was frustrated yesterday by the approach of an early freight train from New Haven. Several men, the exact num- Der North cannot state. attacked him savagely as he left his post to look after switch less than 100 feet away.
 He was choked and thrown to the ground, receiving painful bruises, and the men were about to gag him when the freight train appeared around a nearby curve. The men fled and later seven were arrested. North went to the lookup last night where the men are held, but failed to identify any of them as participants in the hold-up.

Washouts in Texas and New Mexico forced the party to double on it's course and travel an ex- tra thousand miles. Three miles of track were out along the Pecos river and at other points miles rested on nothing but cross sleepers. Hardships were occasioned by the failure of food supplies.

Miller, son, it had gained such headway that no one conld wait to dress or even take out clothing. All that was saved from the building were a few jewels. MT.

Williams of Ithaca, and all her wedding presents were in the house and were destroyed. The loss is estimated at about $100, GOO.

MERE TOY" SAYS JONES

Managers Of the two local telephone
companies are losing no opportunities
to put their patrons in possession Of
practical improvements that come upon
the market
Articles are appearing from time to
time in newspapers. both east and west,
about new electrical inventions that
are designed to revolutionize telephon-
ing and telegraphing, but these devices
and contrivances seem TO be as vet
largely in the domain Of the theoretical
OF this character is the Fowler pho
tophone, the inventor of which is a
resident of Portland, ore II is claimed
that he has almost perfected his IN
vention, and that it vii. be put upon
the market in a short time. Ii is also
asserted that it cannot fail to come
into universal use.
According 10 the published descrip-
tons, there is a mirror arrangement
connected with the receiver that en-
ables each party to the conversation to
see the other. no matter how many
miles apart they may be. This is sup
posed to he so desira BILE a feature of
telephoning that ii viii prove irresist-
able, especially to the feminine part Of
the population. and many millions Of
the new instruments will be needed TO
meet public demand A telephone con-
trlVance invented in Germany is said

Gus photographs of the tall1er and
talkee. Then there is still another
contrivance that is alleged to transform
the spoken words into written speech
on tablet enclosed in a box that can
be opened with only one key that
should be in the possession OF the per-
son who is to receive the message.
The managers of the two telephone
systems in this city were interviewed
for the purpose of ascertaining if il
was intended by them to install the
Fowler photophOne in their territory
and whether they considered the device
practicable.
NO experiments have been made in
the territory of the Rocky Mountain
Bell company with the Fowler photo
phone" said Manager y. s. Murray Il
know nothing about it except What I
have read in some of the newspapers.
These accounts did not impress me, and
/ have doubts about its utility for pub
lie service"
Elmer B. Jones, managing director
of the Utah Independent Telephone
company, said; Il have read about the
Fowler pnOtOphone but / have given
it no serious consideration. 1t does
not seem to me to have any value for
public use. 1t may show the persons
at each end of the wire in the mirrors
for a short distance, but I don't believe
II can be used for lOng-distance con
versa tiOfl and unless If can he il is but
little more than a toy"
