photography to the most characterIess

that come out of fashionable studios
have little or no artistic value. These
fastidious patrons want pretty pict-

pretty. The result is an endless sue

According to Brig. Gen. Henry T. Allen,
director of the Philippine constabulary, af-
fairs in the Philippines are in a very salts

just received at the War Department, he
says the only disturbed section is that
which involves the fanatical organization
known as Santa Iglesa. which has many
followers in several provinces who furnish
an effective system of Information and pro-
lection. The members of the order enter
tain all sorts of curious ideas of what they
are able to do by heavenly influences. They
believe. for instance, that the clubs they
employ for weapons will be turned into
guns II they are bravely used against the
government forces, while they cherish the
notion that flood or fire will destroy all
their enemies, and that after this purging
of the country there will be a rain Of gold
and jewels for the faithful
The leader has 81 cialiStic doctrines prac-
tees polygamy and claims to make celestial
excursions Cor the benefit OF his dupes. The
aggregation appears TO be In the depths OF
the darkest superstition coupled with the
densest ignorance. Gen. Allen says Of an
other district:
THE field OF swfrk among the Moros and
the mountain people of this district is ex-
tensive; but. due to The limited personnel
available for meeting it and the couserya-
tsm OF the people, progress must be sloS.
The work, however. is highly interesting
and demands the best class OF officials that
can be obtained. 1t is mistake to sup

FORTUNE WAITING FOR HIM.
Young Man Can Get $25, 900, but
Doesn't Know It,

PATERSON, N. j., December 25.-Harry
Finckel. who is supposed to be somewhere
in Passaic county, is being searched for by
persons representing the Public Service
Corporation, which wants to offer him
$685. eco for his interest in land which it is
thought he does not know he owns.
Finckels father, Frederick X Finckel,
owned twenty shares in the Hackensack
plank road, having bought them when the
road was constructed. He was a saloon
keeper in Hoboken, and was at one time
prosperous, but he Is said to have lost large
sums in unfortunate investments. When he
died, about eight years ago, he was be-
lieved to be penniless, and for that reason
no administration papers were fled
Young Finckel is thought to be working
on farm not far from this city.
The Hackensack plank road is owned by
the Public Service Corporation, which de-
sires to get possession of the twenty shares
still held in the name of Frederick K.
Finckel.
