The Genuine Thing.

What is the real act of hospitality?
Always being ready to welcome peo-
pie without appearing embarrassed or
annoyed If they drop in on you sud
denly.
But that takes money!
No, indeed, for some of the most
charming afternoons l have spent
have been to the accompaniment OF
sliced bread and butter and cup of
tea, while some of the most wearisome
evenings have been devoted to nine
course dinners in elaborate dining
rooms.
No, the spirit is what counts. 1t is
the ready smile, the word of welcome
and sympat thy, the tea table spread on
the shady veranda and the mistress of
the house ready for her friends, dress
ed in crisp muslin and with her sew
ing or embroidery in hand.
These things are ten times more in
vitng than formal parlors and formal
ways.
The woman who understands the
real art of hospitality which is the
art of the open door, viii never lack
for all the friends she wants

Mount Dajo and
Wounded Knee

THE people who
inllabit the is
lands of the
Sulu archipelago.
where the battle of
Mount Dajo was
recently fought, are
a very peculiar
race. Nowhere In
the W orld are
stranger customs
to be found than
pre- va il among
these wards of
Uncle Sam in the
far east. 1t is
something over 800
miles from Manila

where the Ameri-
can troops battled

fortified themselves in the crater of
volcanic mountain which rises over
1900 feet above sea level. The 100 or
more islands of the Sulu group are in
habited chiefly by the Mohammedan
Moros The beliefs of these people
account in part for the fact that al
most all of the band which resisted the
American troops at Mount Dajo met
death In so doing. The Moro warrior
gives no quarter and expects none, and
when he dies fighting a Christian he
expects to go straight to the Moham-
medan paradise, there to be minis
tered to by houris and enjoy the de-
lights pictured by the panditas, or
priests, who exhort the warriors until
they are ready to fall upon their enc
mics and slay them even though their
own death is sure to follow. This idea
is carried to terrible extreme In the
case of the juramentados. They are
Mohammedans who take an inviolable
oath to shed the blood of as many
Christians as possible. BY the laws
which have prevailed in the past
among the Moros of Sulu and Minda-
mao, but which the American regime
has sought to modify or abolish, the
bankrupt debtor was the slave of his

ports say that the wounded Moros

Wounded Knee the Sioux fired at those

MODERN CHAIN CABLES.
Huge Links Made to Hold Giant
Ocean Liners.

Apropos of the massive chain ca
bles made for the new Cunard liners,
Shipping Illustrated gives some in
teresting facts.
In the illustration is shown three
of the links of a huge cable made in
Wales for sthe Cunard Steamship
Company.
The iron is 81 in. diameter at the
smallest part of the link. Each link
measures about 22A in. in length,
and weighs, with the crucible cast
steel stud, about 160 pounds. Re-
Gently the Cunard Company gave no
tice that they required some links to
be tested to destruction, and three
links were cut off the cable as made
and sent to Lloyd's Proving House at
Netherton.
The sample was first tested to the
British Admiralty proof strain of
1898 tons, at which strain each link
elongated not quite one-quarter OF
an inch. TAO statutory breaking
strain of 1861 tons was next applied,
and the links were further elongated
about three-quarters Of an inch.
After this an attempt was made to
test the sample ito destruction" but
the fullpower of the testing machine
at $50 tons failed to accomplish this
result; indeed, it is understood the

BIG REAL ESTATE TRUST
FAILS FOR SI0,000,000:
Nipple, President of Philadelphia
Concern, Committed Suicide.
A PROMOTER GOT s5,3OO,CoO
Directors Pledge $3,50O,oOO in Vain
Effort to Save the Concern
Presbyterian Church Funds
Tied Up.

Philadelphia, Pa.-After desperate
efforts to raise a guarantee fund of
s7,O00,000, including vain appeal
to the Clearing House Association.
the Real Estate Trust Company Of
this city closed its doors. The liza
bilities are placed at more than $10,-
100000, with quick assets Of s3,-
100000 and doubtful collateral
amounting to $S,OO0,OOO. About
s26,OO0,OO0 of trust funds, including
one of nearly s1,OO0.0O0 of the Pres
. byterian Church, are tied up.
The failure was caused by heavy
loans made by the late President
Frank X. Nipple, to Adolf Segal. a
promoter, on insufficient security.
Mr.. Nipple died suddenly at his home
at Bryn Mawr, and it was said
authoritatively that he had COM
mitted suicide. His physician re-
ported that he died of cerebral hem
orrhage. Friends of the dead presi-
dent believe that Segal exercised a
hypnotic influence over him.
George H. Earle, Jr., President of
the Finance Company Of Pennsyl-
vania, was appointed receiver for
the failed concern.
The loans to Segal amounted to
about s5,300.000 on securities which
the Clearing House Association
thought Mere worth not more than
S1,000,O00. The directors of the bank
pledged $3,500,000 in the effort to
make up the deficiency, but this was
not considered enough.
The Real Estate Trust Company
was incorporated in 1885 and Mr..
Nipple was placed at the head of it.
He was identified with many chari-
table institutions and was active in
the affairs of the Presbyterian
Church, being treasurer of the Gen
eral Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church in the United States, treas
urer of the Sustenation Committee
of the Synod of Pennsylvania. treas
urer of the Presbyterian Hospital
here, and American treasurer Of the
Western section of the Alliance of
the Reformed Church holding the
Presbyterian system. In the finan-
cial world he was regarded as de-
cidedly conservative.
Mr.. Nipple died at his summer
home. The cause of death was given
as cerebral hemorrhage by his ply
sician, Dr.. William G. Powell, whose
statement was confirmed by Coroner
King. The latter said that he did
not perform All autopsy, but accepted

tons On a careful examination of
the links, no sign OF fracture or de-
feet of any kind could be found. The
strain applied was about ninety per
cent. above the admiralty proof
strain. The two main cables for the
new Cunarder consists of two lengths,
each 165 fathoms, i. e., total length
of $50 fathoms, of 1880 feet, in fif-

the ends of which are attached to a
small bar. The operation Is as fol-

the shaft, leaving only sufficient room
to press on the bar with two fingers,
one on each side of the shaft.
The pressure starts the shaft in mo-

the clothes after they have been
boiled sufficiently. The common
method is to lift the clothes out of
the boiler, one piece at time, by a
clothes stick, but this requires time,
as the operator must hold the clothes
above the boiler to permit the water
to drain off. Each piece must be
drained sufficiently, but more often
ineffectively, considerable Of the
water accumulating in the tub.
To overcome these objections the
boiler shown here is made in two
sections. The inner section is made
with a perforated bottom, and also
the sides being perforated half the
distance from the lower edge.
Enough water to boil the clothes can
be placed in the outer section, the
water reaching the clothes through
the perforations. After being boiled
sufficiently the inner sections can be
quickly removed by the aid of a
strong handle attached to one side.

of thirty-ttwo persons, was followed
by the killing of General Min, who,
was commander of the Semtnovsky
Guard Regiment, and who since hif

the suite of the Emperor. Generas
Min was shot on the station plat.

from an automatic revolver and then.
without resistance, submitted to ar

fected by General Minis wife, who

This was the third attempt on the
life of General. Min, who was con;
demned to death by the Terrorists im-t
mediately after the Moscow revolt
last December on account Of the stern
repression practiced by battalion
under his command, and especially
for the wholesale execution Of per.
sons condemned by sdrumhead court
martial for being caught with arms
in their ,hands. G9 i
General Min was returning from
tho capital to his summer residences
at Peterhof and had just greeted his
wife AMI daughter on the platform
when a young yoman-almost a. giri
approached from behind and 1red
two shots into his back and then
three more into his body as 1t .anks
to the ground. Further shots were:
prevented by Nine. Min, who threw
herself upon the assassin and seized
the hand which held the pistol The
girl did not attempt to escape, but;
She cautioned Nine. Min not to touch
a. handbag which she had placed on
the platform before shooting ther
General, explaining that It cont; ned
a bomb.
Min was the commander Of the Sem
inovsky regiment which poured ter
rible fire into the parading workmen
near the chronological Institute, in
st. Petersburg, last October, For
that bloody work he was raised to
the RAM: Of general, and sent to Sar.
