GIVES up STRUGGLE
LEADER OF FILIPINO JuNTA
GOES TO MANILA AND TAKES
OATH OF ALLEGIANCE.

WASHINGTON, Oct. Sword
comes from Manila OF the conversion
of Felipe Agoncillo formerly one of
the most rabid of the revSlutionaries.
For several years he had been the
leading spirit in the Filipino junta
at Hong Kong. Recently he decided
to give up what had become a useless
struggle and like other members Of
the Junta, to accept the inevitable.
Accordingly. he went to Manila and
took the oath of allegiance. Agoncillo
was one of the organizers of the revo-
luton against the Spanish govern
ment in 1895 and next to Aguinaldo
had been the foremost leader in the
independence movement He was or.
dered deported ,by General Blanco in
1896, but before the papers could be
served upon him, he fed, hidden in
the coal bunker of Japanese mail
steamer He was reported to have
taken with him $4,000 which he
used later in purchasing arms for the
Instructors. -

Specialists in all the important stocks
agree that the most of the selling so
far to-day has been for short account,
except that the London market has
supplied moderate amount and a
few room traders have closed out long
contracts. The buying in almost all
cases has been by interests concerned
in the management and control of the
market movements of the different
issues. Efforts were made to ,intensi-
fly the money situation by circulating
reports that call money was s per

that before the usual time for coru-

UP ON GRAMMAR
HON. ALTHA WARMAN READ
SOME $500 PAPERS I'm THE
LAST SIX WEEKS. " !.

Hon. Aitha Warman is at home
again and looking surprisingly well
considering the fact that he has ex.
amined and graded $500 papers on
grammar this summer, says the Nor
gantown Post. What made the work
decidedly trying was that the papers
had to be inspected in limited time
the two weeks following OF the
three teachers examinations. Mr..
warman was member of the board
Of examiners, and as usuH he had all
the papers on grammar TO grade.
In the first examination there were
approximately 1000 candidates for
certificates in the third 1900. The
third examination was held the mid
die of September, and Mr.. Warman
says that by this time the candidates
should Rnow their grades. Through
unacquaInted with the exact figures
he thinks that there were five No. 2
certificates granted Monongalians,
more No. rs and less No. SIS. He
thinks there were no failures. Tween.
ty.four took the test.
Mr.. Warman declared the teachers
of West Virginia had never acquitted
themselves more creditably than they
have this year, and they did better in
/, the third examination than they did
in the first, all of which he logically
thinks very encouraging.
In his travels across the State Mr..
Warman has had an excellent oppor-
tunity TO Judge of the progress of tax
reform. He was pleased and. sur.
prised to find how popular the new
measures have become. The Demo-
Gratis as well as the Republicans are
delighted with the new schedules, he
declared.
Mr.. Warman also spoke of the diff
Guilty of getting back and forth from
Charleston. He makes the journey
several times each year, and every
time it has tried him more than did

Marshall laughed un~pleasantly.
Like this, Park? l guess not.

Yes it is" said Parkinson, with I'M
wonted sharpness. "Listen to me,
Tom. There's a girl over there that's
got to be happy at any cost" He paus-
ed to mop his face. He reminded Mar
shall of some great wounded animal.
There was something like pain in his
eyes. And you've got to make her
happy he went on. do you hear?
It's up to you. You needn't worry
about money. 1 can fix you up in that
line until you can get on your feet
again. But you've got to go back with
me anyway. She-she wants you to
come back. How do 1 know? Well, I
know, and that's enough"
Marshall tossed the lottery tickets
on to the bed and turned to the other
man with sudden comprehension.
"Park," he said gently, you're a
queer old brick. Yes, I'll go back with
you, If you say SO. Tonight All right,
then, tonight it is"
The messenger came with Margery
Reeves note just as Parkinson was
leaving the office. He hailed the first
cab and drove uptown, his mind a
vague maelstrom of doubts and fears.
The note was noncommittal. It merely
requested him to call at the house as
soon as possible. Was she angry be-
cause he had found Tom Marshall, and
brought him back, or did she merely
wish to thank him for his efforts in
that line? He had not seen her since
that afternoon at the links. The thought
of seeing her now cut him sharply.
The end, so far as he was concerned,
had come that day beneath the walnut
trees by the farther bunker when he
had seen the tears in her eyes, the
tears that had not been for him, but
for Tom Marshall.
He waited for her in the big dim hall.
She came down the wide stairs dressed
in white, her eyes shining. There was
a radiant happiness in her face that
hurt him strangely.
ION, how can l ever thank you for
what you have done?" she cried.
ut really wasn't anything" Parkin-
son mumbled.
"Wasn't it anything to find Tom Mar

that anything to you?" she asked.
eyes, it was something" he admitted
lamely. Confound that lump in his
throat!
"You dear, unselfsh, stupid fellow!"
she laughed. "What do you suppose
Tom told me?'
He shook his head miserably.
"He said he came back to make me
understand that the one man in the
world who was everything I had hoped
of him and which he was not was
you!"
"Did he say that?" asked Parkinson
incredulously.
HE did," she declared, "and 1 told
him"-her eyes fell demurely-"that he
wasted his time and his car fare, be-
cause bad found that out long ago."
And then Parkinson - well, even a
stupid man sometimes acts on impulse.

CONCERNING
PARKINSON
BY THOMAS G. FEssENDEN
Copyright. 1906, by b. s. Mcclure

There was nothing brilliant about
Parkinson. Indeed, his mental proc
-esses were decidedly slow. He was
the sort Of man who would listen to q
capital story with the face Of a craven
image, null over it the rest Of the even
Ing, and perhaps at midnight, when
quite alone, he would discover the point
and ha-ha uproariously. Withal, Par
kinson was a mar to be depended
upon. You always knew where to find
him. You We're sure that what he said
he meant and that what he meant he
would stick to through thick and thin.
He was tall, broad of shoulder, and
his homely face radiated good nature.
Although the bulk of the great Parkin-
son fortune was his, he sat daily before
a desk in the office Of Thorpe & Toll
man. The fact that a fellow had a
little money did not render him exempt
from honest work, said Parkinson, and
this was why the foreign accounts Of
Thorpe & Tollman were kept in his
round, boyish handwriting and also
why Parkinson received SIS at noon
every Saturday, which sum, be it stat
ed, did not cover the cost of his lunches
and cigars.
Now, when 1t came time for Parkin-
son to fall in love, he did it as he did
everything else-slowly, smethodically,
with a painstaking regard for detail.
The young woman about whom he
finally found his affections centering-
another man would have madeleine dis
covery fully six months earlier than
did Parkinson-was a certain Miss
Margery Reeves, a joyous, happy, ra-
diant creature, whom Parkinson wor-
SHIPPED with all the ~tenacity of his
stolid nature.
Miss Reeves regarded Parkinson as
a big, good %natured, brotherly fellow,
a tri1e slow and obtuse at times, but
always the most dependable of her
satellites. The exact nature Of her at
Htude toward him Parkinson did not
discover until Il afternoon when they
sar rogerner beneath the walnut trees
at the farther bunker of the Country
club links.
It was n Of those hazy afternoons
which beget condolences. Miss Reeves
herself could not have told how the
conversation led up to it, but before
she was really aware Of what she was
doing she was telling Parkinson all
about it and Parkinson was listening
with grave sympathy.
She told the whole bitter story-her
engagement to Tom Marshall, the quar-
rel which had broken it off and even
the ugly rumors which had-come to

finished there were tears in her eyes

voice.

ring indolently in the breeze. Then he
smiled his slow, enigmatic smile.
"Don't you think it's too hot to play
the rest of the course?" he asked, and,
helping her to her feet, he suggested
that they go back to the clubhouse for
tea.
They went back in silence. Once or
twice she glanced at Parkinson curl
Ously. There was still a smile on his
face, but it was a very strange smile.
It seemed to mask something going on
in his mind.
The following Monday Parkinson OBJ
tanned a leave of absence from the Of
fee and went to Boston. The latest
reports had located Tom Marshall
there. It was several days before
Parkinson found him in an obscure
little hotel. Marshall was looking
seedy, and there were unmistakable
marks Of dissipation on his handsome
face.
"Park," he cried as Parkinson enter
ed the dingy room where Marshall in
his shirt sleeves was sorting out bunch
es of lottery tickets. tits good old
Park, as I liye!- What brings you here,
old chap"
Parkinson sat down on a rickety
chair. The room was small and hot.
Moreover, he had just climbed six
long fights of stairs. He looked rather
tired and wilted.
'Look here, Tom," he said abruptly.

SCHOOL YEAR ENDED TODAY |
Pean of Joy Sent UP By Young
America As Books Are
Taken Away.
NOW FOR A LONG VACATION.
Youngsters Will Have Nothing To
Worry Them Until
September.

Only a short session of school this
morning and the children wended
their way home amid the sound of
shouting aud rejoicing floating on tile
summer air. 1t was the some old joy
ful sound that children who are now
men and women grown tall sent up
years and years ago, as school closed
for long vacation season.
The week Just about to close and
the week previous have been full of
busy, toilsome days for both teachers
and scholars, and it is with sense
of deep thaukfulness that the school
days of 1905 ended today. This has
been thel ongest schools years for many
previous years, the school of Anne
Arundel county having previously
closed in April and May. The length
ening of the school year is marked by
much improvement in the course of
study and the pupils will return next
year better fitted for their work.
School opens again in September,
but this morning throughout the
whole city there was not a whisper
heard about that dire day. When the
juvenile walked out of school about
noon, minus books, no thought OF Sep
tember was crowding down upon his
brain. This is vacation, and the
school boy never crosses bridges until
he comes to them. 1t would be diff
cult to determine who is the happier
with the prospect of vacation, the
scholar with his juvenile ambitions or
the teacher. Neither teachers nor
pupils are getting up in arms and send
ing petitions to the school board to
keep the schools open for another
month. 1t was a happy lot that went
wbooping and yelling from school this
morning. There was just one thing
that was not certain and in a way
that clouded some of the youthful
brows-the question of passing into the
next higher grade
The marks of examination papers
were all in and were read out to the
scholars in the various grades. The
tiny tots of the lower grades were
given certificates of their standing
during the year and this will admit
them to pass into the next higher
grade next year. The advanced schol-
ars of higher grades also received GER
tificates of promotion. There were
many who failed to pass because some
had been laggards. These were more
or less Indifferent TO their fate, as
they had been Indifferent to their
studies during the year, but it was
JOY and real gladness to see the bright,
happy shining faces of those who did
pass and to hear their rejoicing.
Proud ones took their marks and Ger
tificates home to papa and mama to
be admired, and Tommie, who was
promised bicycle if he passed, and
Susie, who was promised a bathing
suit, were quick to claim their re-
wards. The full list ~of promotions
will be published later.
