? -V * I SUITOR'S ARDDfT ! Supplants Authority of Prospective Father-in-Law in His Own Home. SAVED FROM FURY OF A MOB V Young Man Threatened to Kill the Girl's Father ? Chased From the Honse, Indignant Citizens Join In the Pursuit ? Rescued by His Fiancee?Mob Wanted to Tar and Feather Him?Under Arrest. Mount Holly, N. J.?Twenty-five masked men assembled In the vicinity of former Judge B. P. Willis's house bent on treating Harry Allen Baxter, the fiance of Miss Willis, to a coat of tar and feathers. Entering the large yard they made an effort to enter the rear door. Then something happened. The Judge's ten-year-old son asked them very pointedly to retire, at the same time he leveled a shotgun at the gang, which beat a hasty retreat. "I'll shoot the first one to enter," he said, and Immediately there was a slump In tar and a reaction In the feather market, which had been decidedly bullish. All the time young Allen was in an up-stalrs room armed with a revolver and a large amount of that discretion which at times outdoes any sort of valor. Allen is not the "star boarder" of the Willis household by any manner of n^eans. The Judge doesn't like him at all, but Mrs. tVllils favors his suit, and so does the young woman. He came here from New York City some time ago, and, although the Judge opposes the marriage he permitted the youth, up to "Wednesday morning, to live in the house. On that morning, hard upon the heel of the exciting events of the previous nlglft, the Judge and his prospective son-in-law had a row. Baxter cfrew a revolver and threatened to shoot The Judge.ran at him, and. seizing the weapon, thrashed him. Baxter rushed out of the house coatless and hatless, and ran down Main street to Grant, closely pursued by the Judge and a large and excited crowd. Arriving at Grant street station he attempted to board a passing trolley car for Burlington. He was caught and again chastlsid by the Judge. Baxter once more pulled his revolver. William Jennettand Mlcajah Mat- | lack, who were In the crowd th^t had assembled, seized Baxter, p.nd taking ) his revolver away, ordered him to get out as soon as possible. Baxter ran along the trolley track toward Burlington. Judge Willis then went before Squire Krayer and swore out a warrant for the arrest of Baxter. Giving this to Detective Ellis H. Parker, be stopped a passing team and drove rapidly off in pursuit. Miss Willis had learned of the row, and she immediately drove to the rescue, overtaking. Baxter in his flight toward Burlington. She hurried off with him in the carriage. Later Baxter was found in the home of Mrs. M. R. Sooy, in Mount Holly, and arrested. Miss Willis met Baxter last season "*"* TTisxT T tttV*tin ohn ttqa ric. / ai oaj victt, aj. x., nuiie ljuv. <.uu ... ltlng a former schoolmate.

WHAT BILL ANTHONY SAID Captain Sigsbee Throws Some New Light on a Historic Incident. Orderly Did Not U?e tlie Words. "I Have Tile Honor (o ncpvri 11 ucu >?v Maine Was Blown Up. Washington, D. C.?Captain Sigsbee was incorrectly represented In a Washington dispatch as having exploded the "Bill" Anthony story in a lecture before the Union Veteran Legion, and as having said that Anthony never made his famous report that "The vessel has been blown up and is sinking." In denying this story Captain Sigsbee threw some new light on the Anthony Incident "I did not discredit the Anthony story," said Captain Sigsbee. "On the contrary, I told it over again and paid f a tribute to the gallantry wmcn Anthony displayed. It was a brave action, and all the more admirable because there was nothing dramatic about it, no self-consciousness, nothing but the plain, matter-of-fact performance of what Anthony considered to be the simple discharge of an ordinary duty. "He did not use the often-quoted expression. 'Sir, I have the honor to report.' That would have been dramatic. One can imagine a Frenchman or a man of another nationality more excitable and more sentimental than ours, making the report in that way. But Anthony's way of doing it was typically American?cool, matter of fact, businesslike, and as If it were a matter of routine. "He might have been excused If he had jumped overboard instead of coming to report to me. To get to me he klo mo tt fhrauffh o iatut LittU IU giupc Uio ?? aj iuivu^u w passageway as black as night not knowing when he raised his foot where it would come down. When he entered my cabin I was six feet away from him, but he had to grope his way about and find me. He did not, ? therefore, raise his hand and make the dramatic report with which he has been credited. On the contrary, he ran Into me, and I said, 'Who's that?' Neither of us could see the other, of course. He said, in a matter of fact way. 'It's Anthony, the orderly. I beg your pardon, Sir. for running into you. The ship has been blown up, and is sinking.' "There were no heroics, no gesticultion, and no salute, and no 'I have the honor to report.' It seemed to me a finer thing as it was. Enthusiasm can carry a man through a great deal, but Anthony's groping his way through that long passage on a sinking ship, with no Idea that he was do-, ing anything but the performance of an ordinary duty, was a better thing than a dramatic action performed under the influence of enthusiasm. I re plied, "very gooa. lio Dacu, ana i will follow you.' That was all there was of it. "Mrs. Anthony afterward asked me If her husband had said what he was quoted as saying. I replied, 'He did not say that he had the honor to report, and you have the better reason to be proud of him for It,' and I told her why, as I have just told you." GOVERNOR OTERO REAPPOINTED.

ASSASSINATIONS ARE FREQUENT Eight Members of a Band of Native Murderers Condemned to Death?Organization Consisted of an Executioner, Assistants and Men to Dig Graves For Many Innocent Victims. Washington, D. C.?A Philippine mail brings to the War Department the records In eleven cases wherein Filipinos were tried by military commissions on charges Including murder, I WHnonlnir rrimlnfll flSRault. burglary | and violation of the rules of war. An especially noteworthy case arose out of the operations of a famous oath-bound band of Filipinos called the Society of the "Sandatahans." The principal officers of this society, next to a triumvirate of chiefs, are a chief executioner and assistants and ^ ^ ^ THE AMERICAN PERIL AS VIE1 JOUR* a requisite number of grave diggers, who participate In the self-appointed j work of the band. The leaders select their victim, capture and carry him away in the night to a secret rendezvous on a sandy beach covered with tall grass, where the diggers already have prepared the grave. Here, in the presj ence of the assembled band, helpless men and women from time to time [ have been stabbed to death and tossed Into the graves. The members of the band then dlsI perse and trust to the rise and fall of , the nearby waters to hide the eviI dences of their ghastly work. Ten I members of the band, including two I of the*. chiefs, were tried before a military commission and eignt or tnem were sentenced to be hanged. In another case an armed band of about twenty-five Filipinos carried away nine of the Inhabitants of the Barrio of Casantulacian, and, by repeated blows from the butts of their rifles, drove them to the Presidencia of Cabaruan. Here all hands drank freely of vino and the prisoners were made drunk. Then, according to the testimony of two of the prisoners who escaped, thd other seven were led off in the direction of a grove of trees, where, two days later, their beheaded bodies were discovered. The members of the band who were captured received sentences of death in several cases and Imprisonment at hard labor for varying | terms In others. ., . Jose Baligod, the President-elect of the Pueblo of Tufto under the system established by the American Government, while exercising the functions of his office became cognizant of the | jrganization of a band in a neighboring barrio for the purpose of attacking the small garrison of nineteen Amer| lean soldiers stationed in Tuao, uaupou irauoiuuaij tu-uijci imu with the leader of the band, advised him as to the most auspicious time to make an attack, intercepted a messenger sent to warn the Americans and otherwise trencherously abused the trust of his office. He was sentenced to be confined at hard labor for twenty years. A PARADISE FOR HUNTERS. Uganda Commissioner Describe* the Bi Game There?Prehistoric GiraffeFonnd_ London.?Sir Harry Hamilton Johnston, Special Commissioner for the Uganda Protectorate, ha9 returned to London, after an absence of two years. He brings stories of Uganda rivaling Henry Al. Stanley's descrip tlon of "Darkest Africa." | Sir Harry relates that the country surrounding Moantelgon is totally depopulated as a result of inter-tribal wars, and is consequently marvelously stocked with big game that are as tame as English park deer. Zebras and antelopes can be approached to within ten yeards, and there is no sport in killing them. Elephants and rhinoceroses are also abundant, and, according to Sir Harry, lions in Uganda are too busy eating hartebeest to notice a passing caravan. The prehistoric giraffe has been discovered by the Commissioner, who proposes to maintain the region referred to as a national park. Sir Harry photographed a race of ape-men in the Congo forest differing entirely from Stanley's pigmies and phonograph records. of their language and music. ' Reward For Military Prisoners Offered.

FAMILIES ARE LEFT AT HOME I Novel Method of Living Adopted in An? > tlclpatlon of a Long Strike ? Camp la [ on Fritz's Island, Near Reading, Penn. It Is Baled by the Strikers' Leader > ?Routine of the Camp Life. Heading, Penn.?The first American | camp of strikers In Pennsylvania is ^ now fully established on Fritz's Islar^i, a tract of about fifteen acres, in the Schuylkill River, three miles below Reading. About 500 men, striking employes of the Reading Iron Company, are already in the tents, and additions are made dally to their number. There Is every evidence of a long strike, and as fast as men can make their arrangements they will leave town and go Into camp, so that by July 1 It is expected that 1000 idle men at least will be living In the tents rented. Houses in town are being given up and arrangements are being made for the comfort and support of the women and children who will remain In town while the men folks are absent in camp. No women are to be allowed in the camp except in the afternoon. Strict rules have been drawn up for Camp Flynn, named In honor of J. H. Flynn, the man sent to Reading from Pittsburg to take charge of the labor trouble. Breakfast is served at 7 a. m. Each tent mess serves meals for from six to eight men. Provisions are rpttuiI fpnin tho pnmmlBHflrv. 'Rivnri and butter, coffee and fried potatoes and fresh fish generally form the breakfast. Meat and vegetables, with bread and coffee, make up the dinner, Potatoes "with jackets on, bread and butter and fresh fish are served for supper. This bill af fare of course varies. Fresh country eggs are brought in by farmers, and are cheap enough to be served for breakfast. Ham and bacon, beans, meat and fresh vegetables are liberally served. Organizer Flynn brings provisions Into camp by the drayload. A favorite supper for the strikers is potato soup and boiled cabbage, bread and coffee, but the men say that when not at work they do not require much heavy food. On Sundays the men have chicken for dinner, the fowls being sold at wholesale rates by the farmers. Suckers and catfish are caught in the river. Bass will be in season soon. One of the best springs of pure water in the country is near the camp, and there is a plentiful supply. The river furnishes excellent fishing, boating land bathing, very large trees'give ample shade. A large flag pole was raised bearing the Stars and Stripes with' two large -white streamers lettered "Independence" and "Here 'Till Victory." The iron workers, engineers and other trades of the United States are contributing a great deal of money for the support of the camp and the families of the strikers, but this does not nearly make up for the $125,000 in wages paid out to these men by the company every month. The men In camp do their own laundry work at the river side. The camp streets are named after the various strike leaders. No tramps are allowed to' enter the camp, and hoodlums are ordered off. Homeless men with union cards are received, but the idea is to keep Camp Flynn exclslvely for this strike of iron workers. Notices have been sent out from camp to the citizens of Reading to pay no heed to beggars soliciting aid in their behalf. The strikers are well supplied, and so are their families. Men asking alms must show their union cards, otherwise they are to be looked on as Imposters. No base ball is allowed on Sunday In the camp ground and Farmer Fritz's jrreen fields on the island will be amply protected. Concerts, card parties, ball tossing, quoits, foot racing, jumping, cricket and other pasM ips form abundant amusement for the men when not in meeting, preparing their meals or cleaning up their tents. Men -who made from $60 to $S0 a month are earning nothing now. Many of the 2600 on strike who had no desire to go into camp have left to secure jobs in other parts of the State. SENATOR PLATT TO RETIRE. dig Public Life Will End With His Term in 1903. New York City.?The public life of United States Senator Thomas C. Piatt will end with the expiration of his present term as Senator in 1003. The reasons for Senator Piatt's determination are not difficult to find. The recent death of Mrs. Piatt was a grievous blow to him. Besides, Senator Piatt is advancing in years, having been born in Owego July 15, 1833. The statement of his coning retirement is made unequivocally by a friend of Senator Piatt, and it may ' also be said that Senator Piatt would lay down the duties of his Senatorship at the present time were it not for many very important considerations.
