concluded that service in the tropics was not the
worst thing to be imagined. Many went unarned
about the town. The commanding officer and the
padre, in suave and fattering Spanish, discussed
universal peace and American civilization.

descending the stairs they at once upon the
long tables, smoking with their simple fare
This evening two of the men last in line paused
they passed the window to look at the tangled
thicket back of the convent.

The men filed into their places, and were soon
chatting and laughing over their supper
Suddenly, as if by a common instinct, the BODY
OF men sat alert, knives and forks suspended in
midair and, a rapidly growing anxiety their

with her to the plaza, where the troops mounted
and formed were ready to march
The town of San Simon was one where it was
considered that peculiarly happy conditions existed
The troops had been there for sometime, and be-
tween them and the natives the riendliest relations
were maintained. There had never been any dis
turbances in its vicinity. The white man smoked
his cigarettes in the house of his Filipino host and

1nstinctively they drew
together-a courageous
phalanx-awaiting in
evitable destruction.
Then over this tumu1t
of sound they heard the
sudden roar of rifles,

cloud of smoke, over
the heap of slain, a
body of soldiers sprang.
Firing as they ran, they
flung themselves be

and their defenseless
victims.
The Pa1actan COM
mander, leaving the
San Simon troops in
possession of their arms
and an unquenchable
vengeance, drew off
some of his men, and

a spade that happened to be near

new SHERIDAN STATUE.
OHIO ERECTS MONUMENT At A
COST OF TEN THOUSAND
DOLLARS
Striking Figure of the Cavalry Lead
er as He Appeared In the Later
Years of His Life, But Not as He
Looked During the War.

The dedication of statue Of Gen
eral Phil Sheridan ut Somerset, Ohio.
on Nov. End, revives interest in the
career of the great cavalry leader Of
the Union armies. The state OF Ohio
erected the statue, an equestrian one
and there his birth was recorded.
which will stand in the public square
of the quaint old village in which
Sheridan lived as a boy. 1t was al
ways believed prior to his death, that
Sheridan was born in the village. He
and his family allowed the impression
to remain as there was some hope
that he might be nominated for Presi-
dent. Sheridan himself was always
proud to call himself an Ohio man.
When he died his relatives admitted
that he was not even born in this
country, but on ship when Is par
ents wepe en- route from Ireland.
They settled first at Albany, N. Y,
and there his birth was recorded
However it was in Somerset that he
grew up, a quick alert little Irish lad
whose greatest delight in youth was
to await the coming of the stage that
he might ride the horses to water.
His old mother used to tell in her de-
clning years of Phillies great love for
horses and how hard his father used
to whip him for riding every horse he
could find to mount
Early Cavalry Training.
That early love of horses stood Phil
In good stead when he entered the
cavalry arm OF the service and fitted
him for the famous "Sheridan'5 Ride"
to the battle of Winchester. Sheridan
began as a clerk In the village store
and was sent to West Point by con-

Irish Catholic vote. Alas, the con-
gresham was beaten, but he gave the
nation great soldier and in later
years when the man was in trouble,
Sheridan came to his relief in a CRATE

Hot Contest With Bryan.
William Jennings Bryan was the uni
versally accepted candidate against
Burkett, supported by the Democrats.
Populists and Free-Silver Republicans.
The fight was thus narrowed down to
one between Mr.. Burkett and Mr..
Bryan for control Of the Legislature.

was exceedingly vIrile. and there was
plenty Of uncertainty to make 1t inter

Mr.. Burkett, like his distinguished
opponent, Is Of even temperament.

Genius for rganlxatIo0.
Probably one Of Burkett's chief At

As a result Of the marshaling Of his
forces, n legislature was elected with
every one OF the thirty.three members
in the Senate a Republican and only
nine Fusionists out Of one hundred
members Of the House. The jeEis-
