WORDS FROM THE DEAD.
Letter Written by Murdered DIR. Jones
Reaches Field Museum.

Chicago. April 29-The voice of
science. speaking from the grave,
comes to DIR. G. a. Dorsey of the Field
Columbian museum in letter from DR..
William Jones written a few days be-
fore his death at the hands of head
hunters in Luzon. The letter is full OF
interesting comment on the language,
trails, and discredited gods of the ma
tives, who call their deities "a bad lot"
and contains a vivid description of a
terrific typhoon, during which all ma
ture was awake and in anger"
1.-THE culture of the Ilongot is pretty
much the same wherever l went" said
DIR. Jones in the course Of his COM
munication 1.-The only differences We're
due to location near or away from the
river Near the river the people use
RATS and fish with nets; away from
the river they have no nets or RATS.
Language elsewhere was pretty much
the same, but there were slight differ
ences of intonation.
well, at last I've come upon the
tales. They are curious creatures and
some will at once remind you of North
American variants not only rs to in
cident and literary elements but as to
the cosmic ideas they display. Still yet
am I unable to discern if the Ilongot
has the Mantle in the Algonkin, Sioux
or Pawnee sense. His anitu is a real
tangible thing which he names by the
meanest words he can think of.
I'm fact, the Ilongot is uncomplimen-
tary toward his gods. He will go
through the list with you, telling what
good points and what bad points this
and that god has, and at the, end he
will curse the whole lot and say they
are no good rather interesting at
titude this. psychologically.
THE Negritos I meet seem practical

Ilongots. They are not simon pure
creatures that Worcester said thew
were. SO far I have discovered moth
ing of their speech which can be said
to be peculiarly Negritis.''
OF the Negritos DR.. Jones says fur
Their:
They bury in trees. They wage war
like the Ilongot and have the same
head song. They move in small parties
When compelled by necessity they
make a small grass shelter. which they
leave without a thought when they get
up and walk off
They use the kind of bows and ar
rows used by Ilongots, but have no
spears or shields. Some have dogs and
a small iron pot or two. They are great
travellers.
They eat bugs. worms, snakes.

they trade for. The men go in a bark

Mary Garden Fires a Parting Shot at
''Those Chicago Mayors

New York. April 29.-Miss Mary Gar
den, grand opera star. sailed for Eur
ope on the White Star liner Adriatic
and before she went she flung a final
taunt at Mr.. and Mrs. David Mayer of
Chicago. who advanced $4,000 for the
cultivation of her great musical tai
ents abroad. Last winter Miss Garden
snubbed Mrs. Mayer in New York and
Mr.. Mayer was so incensed about it
that he compelled Miss Garden to re-
pay the big loan, which she appeared
to have forgotten entirely.
'Those Chicago MayersI" exclaimed
the star. Please do not ask me to
discuss them. The are simply too hor-
rid for anything. They are beneath

FREES HER AGED HUSBAND.
Mrs. Eliza Bevington Takes Half of
the Property and Gets a Divorce.

Mrs. Eliza Bevington is divorced
from the husband she married in
1865. She also got about half Of his
property.
The Bevington divorce case was
recently aired under the affinity
feature in the petition. Mrs.
Bennington sued for divorce on the
grounds that her husband. Charles
Bevington, had found an affinity in
the person of Mary Newman, a Ger
man hired girl. The divorce was
granted last evening by Judge Dana,
who also granted Mrs. Bevington a
part of the Bevington property. Her
share consists of s6,575 in cash, the
home and personal property at 1907
Western avenue, and three lots in AL
berta, Canada, the former home of
the Bevingtons. In return, she
relinquishes all right to participate
any further in Bevington's estate.
The couple were married in 1865,
and Bennington says he is 81 years
old. Bevington made his little for
tune, estimated at $4,000 by in
vestments in real estate in and near
Alberta, Canada.

IN CASE OF FIRE.
How to Act Should You Find Your
Home in Flames.

Ones ability to extinguish starting
fire or to escape if caught in burning
building depends upon intelligence and
self control If the blaze is just start
ing throw water on the material that is
burning, not at the blaze. One bucket
of water will do more good if thrown
on by handfuls or with broom
than if dashed on at once. A small
fire may be smothered with rug or
blanket or beaten out with broom.
If you cannot put out the fire in a
minute yell Fire. and then, if in a
city. call the fire department. Every
one living in the house should know
the telephone number to be used for
getting the fremen, and it should be
on the wall for strangers to use. There
is no time for looking in the directory,
even if one should not be too nervous
to find number. Every one should
know where the nearest fire alarm box
is and how to use it.
~ hOO iSdfC tAlO NOolo OPSu w hSh you
run out to give an alarm. If the doors
and windows are closed when a fire
starts one can always get the fremen
there in time to put it out while it is in
only one room. The fire soon consumes
all the oxygen in closed room and
may die ont if it gets no fresh air
e. L. q L
getting out the things you want most
to save. Don't throw the clock from
the window and then carry out your
clothing, as some persons have done.
If awakened in the night by the
smell or cry of fire don't dress. Wrap
yourself in blanket or quilt from the
bed and get out the quickest way you
can. Shut the doors you pass through.
After calling for help try to ascertain
the extent and the situation of the fire.
You can tell if it is best to try to carry
out the household goods. If the fire is
on the first floor it is very dangerous to
go above, because the heat and choking
smoke rise.
One can often get out through hall
filled with smoke by going on his hands
and knees when h, would fall choking
if he ran The smoke is the thickest
at the ceiling Holding wet towel or
anything made of flannel or even a coat
collar over the mouth greatly lessons
the danger of injury to the lungs or
death from the carbolic acid gas in the
smoke.
If a person is in a burning building
with no fire escapes and the stair be-
low is burning or the hall is filled with
smoke he should shut the door and
transom to keep out the deadly gases.
Then he should throw open the window
to get cool air and to let the firemen
and neighbors see where he is, SO that
they may bring ladder to the window.
If unable to escape by his own efforts
one shonld wait at the window for help
until he is scorched or choking. If no
one is near he should throw his bed
dnig, tick and all, and jump on that.
1t is safer to jump into the top of a
tree than to the ground.
