PHILIPPINE SURPRISES.
Lovely, Cool Plateaus-AlsO Marvels Of
Scenery.


1t seems to me, says Hamilton Wright
in Leslies Weekly, that the least appre-
ciated feature of the Philippines is the
diversity of climate. Though the Philip
pines are all in the tropics, yet frequent
ly within a days travel one will come
upon strong climatic contrasts.
Whether you go to the lovely cool
mountain plateaus or down to the warm
er cities of the sea level you will find
that though there are the changes of the
seasons, still the climate from day to
day varies little BY dressing properly
one does not feel the heat so much.
Malta, the hottest place in the Philip
pines, is often intensely warm in March,
April and May. Yet prostrations never
come as they do in New York in mid
summer, and above all there are cool
nights everywhere.
Perhaps no country in the world pos
sesses so many scenic maryels as the
Philippines; regions which. were they
known. would attract tourists the world
over. There is the wonderful Tao vol
cano, rising from the middle of a lake;
there are the vast Cordilleras, not sur
passed in beauty and grandeur by any
ranges in the world; there are the won
derful mountain plateaus and valleys
covered with seas of rich and waving
grass and bordered by forested hogbacks
which project into them as capes project
into the ocean
Here wild deer and boar roam in great
abundance, while occasional herds of
wild earaboa move clumsily over the
ground. Perhaps for days in these re-
gions one may not see native. The isl

Thomas Turner, an Englishman who is
spending the winter in Boston, has made
the remarkable record of crossing the
Atlantic ocean 113 times. His first voy-
age to the United States was made in
1861 in the Cunarder Asia a side
wheeled craft that was thirteen days en-
route The boat sat low in the water,
and Mr.. Turner says that she went
through all the big seas instead of over
them. After being in America a little
while he was drafted for service in the
Civil war, and, that public duty per-
formed, Mr.. Turner engaged in the
manufacture of rubber fabric at East
hampton. Between 1861 and 1869 he
crossed the ocean six times, and then
established himself in Leicester, on the
other side, as rubber fabric manufac-
turer and importer Of leather. After re-
Stunning his residence in England Mr..
Turner's crossings grew more frequent.
He made nine voyages in one year, and
has been across the ocean thirteen times
in the last ten years. Some of his Amer
lean friends made his Tooth crossing in
1896 memorable by presenting him with
a gold watch, on whose case are en-
graved representations of the entwined
American and English flags. His long
est voyage consumed seventeen days and
fraction, and he has crossed in five
days and fifteen hours.

MAY DELAY OCEAN TRAFFIC
Five Thousand Additional Lonu-
shoremen on Strike.

New York, May 6.-The strike of
longshoremen which has been in prog
ress for more than a week, affecting
no only the coastwise steamers but
several transatlantic liners, took an
extremely serious turn during the day
when 5000 more large transatlantic
freight handlers joined the movement.
The men who joined the ranks of the
strikers during the day number be-
LweeE 1900 and 5000 and their action
may result in serious delay in the
movement of some of the biggest
transatlantic passenger and mail
steamships. The men were those of
the North German Lloyd, the Scan
dinavian-American, the Hamburg
American, the Holland-American and
the Phoenix lines.
Up to this latest development more
than 5000 men were on strike from
the American and Red Star lines and
from the various docks in Brooklyn.

SOCIETY BADLY SHOCKED
Pastor of Fashionable Church
and Heiress Disappear.

New York, May 2.-Mernbers of the
fashionable st. Georges Episcopal
church at Hampstead, l.. l., we're as
tonisiled when they learned that their
pastor, Rev. Jere Knode Cooke, had
departed from Hampstead and that
Miss Floretta Whaley also had left her
home and had written letters saying
she would not return. Rev. MI. Cooke
is married to the daughter of Rienzi
A. Clarke of Hartford, Conn. She left
Hampstead some time ago and is now
at her fathers home.
According to stories which were cir
culated freely in Hampstead the in
fatuation of the minister for Miss
Whaley has been apparent for some
time and was the direct cause of Mrs.
Cooke leaving for her fathers home.
Nh. Cooke is thirty-siX years old and
has been married for five years. Miss
Whaley is not yet eighteen. Miss
Whaley's father died a year ago, leav-
ing her and her elder sister an ample
fortune. 1t is said that each will be
worth $125 900.

Insane Law Tangle.

The new state law regarding the
care of the insane in this state is
causing the counties more or less
trouble. 1t has been the custom in
the past for the state to care for the
insane without expense to the coun-
ties from which the unfortunates
come. Under the new law the coun-
ties are to be compelled to pay $40
per month for the maintenance Of the
people sent to the state asylum. At
present Cass county has fifty-two
people in the state hospital, and the
money for their care must be raised
by an increased levy. This raises the
question of double taxation. The
counties are taxed to raise money for
the state to maintain the different
state institutions and the new law is
regarded by many prominent attorneys
as unconstitutional as it compels coun-
ties to raise funds for the same pur-
pose for which they are already being
taxed by the state. The matter may
be taken into the courts.
