V He Hammered It Oat. Years ago a vessel was wrecked on tfno of the South Sea Islands, and the wners could not get their insurance because the account of the shipwreck was written in the chirography of the Islanders, and could not be translated. The paper was even sent to the professors of Harvard and Yale, but they ?onld not read it.

'A Lot of Trouble Prom Too 3Iach Starch Food. - A little boy of eight years whose ^ parents did not feed him on the right kind of food, was always nervous aud suffered from a weak condition of the stomach and bowels. Finally he was taken down with appendicitis and after the operation the doctor, knowing that his intestinal digestion was verv weak. put him on Grape-Nuts twice a day. He rapidly recovered and about two months thereafter, his Father states, **Hc has grown to be strong, muscular, nd sleeps soundly, weighs G2 pounds, v - y. and his whole system is in a fine condition^, of health." Name given by j fostn'm Co., Battle Creek, Mich. It is plain that if he had been put on j Grape-Nuts at an earlier period in-his j life, and kept from the use of f^ods that he could not digest, he never .would have had appendicitis. That disease is caused by undigested food decaying in the stomach and bowels, rausing irritation and making for the growth of all kinds of microbes, setting up a diseased condition which is the active cause of appendicitis, and this is more marked with people who do not properly digest white bread. Grape-Nuts is made of the selected J nnrfs of wheat and barlev r.nd bv the ( peculiar processes of the cooking at.the factory, all of the starch is turned into sugar ready for immediate digestion and the more perfect nourishment of all parts of the body, particularly the brain and nerve centres. jr Read the little book, "The Road to WellYille." found in each Dks.

New York City.?Wearing a black silk muffler as a mask and waving a revolver of large size, with which he threatened to shoot to kill, a man entered the residence of Ernest G. W. Woerz, No. 1 East Sixty-third street, the other evening and i4held up'' Mr. Woerz and the women of his family. He demanded money, and left only when Sir. Woerz. convinced that the man was in deadly earnest, tossed $100 in bills to him. This daring robbery occurred at 6 o'clock in the evening. Mr. Woerz's residence is one door from Fifth avenue, within a stone's throw of the homes of George J. and Howard I Gould, John Jacob Astor and other l men of wealth. Coming at a time ! when the Police Department is under 1 " " nMfnnt tho hAmPS nf lire lur iihiuic iv vtULtvl " ? citizens, strict orders were given by police officials to keep the robbery quiet. Nothing was said about it until Mr. Woerz, finding that the detectives had accomplished nothing, gave | out the story. Mr. Woerz is president of the Beadleston & Woerz Brewing Company. In the house at the time of the robbery were. Mr. Woerz. his daughter, Mrs. C. M. Steele, and his niece. Miss Clara i Hoffman''. All but Mr. Steele were in their rooms on the second floor, dressing for dinner. He was on the third floor, and knew nothing of the robbery. Three women servants were also in the house, but only one of them, the maid, who admitted the robber, knew svhat was transpiring. The caller was well dressed, and ascended the front steps without attracting attention. In the vestibule he adjusted n black silk muffler to conceal the lower half of his face. When the maid opened the door he stepped inside. thrusting the barrel of a revolver Into her face, and said in a low tone: "I want money, and I want it quick. If you scream or give an alarm I'll shoot." "I have no money," said the maid, "but I'll get some." And she fled up the stairs. The man "with the revolver followed. At the head of the stairs the maid tripped over her dress and fell. Miss Hoffman, who was with Mrs. Steele stepped into the hall and looked over the balustrade just as the maid reached the landing. ' Before I could realize what was the matter the man had stepped over the ^ nAtnfinw O hi CT rfimll'Pr I LIU ill UilU. Wfto (/uuiuu^ ?t ?.v, v.. in my face.'' said Miss Hoffman. " 'I want money quick.' lie said. I backed into the room and he stood in the doorway. "Mrs. Steele was in the room, find he waved the pistol about, pointing- it first at one of us and then the other. I was frightened and stood still. " 'I've come to get some money, and I shan't go away without it. I am going to-get it or kill some one. If any one tries to trap me I'll shoot every one in the house.' he declared. "Mrs. Steele asked how much he wanted. 'All you've got,' said he. We knew that Mr. Woerz was in the front room, so we spoke* louder to attract his attention. I started toward the door, but the intruder ordered me back and got between me and the door. Just then Mr. Woerz came. The man pointed .the revolver at him and backed over toward the wall, where he could watch all of us. "The black handkerchief slipped down from his face and I had a good look at him. He pushed it up with his left hand. "Mr. Woerz asked what was wanted. 4I want money, and if you don't give it to me I'll shoot you,' said he. "Mr. Woerz took some bills out of his pocket. Th&y amounted to about $100. Ke rolled them up and tossed them at the burglar. The man picked up the money and backed toward the stairway. " 'Don't one of you move,' he said. 'I'll kill any one who tries to give an alarm.' "He didn't stop to take a purse I had in my hand, or to get any of the jewelry on the dresser in the next room, but ran down the stairs, slamming the door and ran toward Central Park, removing the mask as he went out of the house.

REPORT ON PHILUPINES Conditions as Set Forth in Official Reports of Governor Taft. \ Hope Even For the Moroi?Redaction af Tariff Here on Prodact* From the Islands Frjfed Asrain. Washington. D. C.?Secretary Taft has submitted to the President the annual report of the Philippine Commission. together with the separate reports to the commission of the civil Governor of the islands, and of the heads of the four departments. The Secretary, in a letter accompanying them, summarizes and brings out the recommendations in the reports, which, he says, show the great benefit that has been conferred upon the islands by a continued state of tranquility. Except in the wild, mountainous regions of the unexplored Island of Samarkand in the Moro region of the Rio Grande and Lake Lanao. in the sparsely settled Island of Mindanao, and in .the Island of Jolo, conditions as to tranquility and ladronism continue to imnrove. and except in the places mentioned agriculture and the arts of peace are not at all interfered with by lawless bands or depredafirtnc He says it is quite satisfactory to observe the good effect of a settled policy with respect to the civil service, under a atrineent civil service law, on the personnel and efficiency of the service. Many of the Filioinos are learning English, and applying for examination as English clerks. The falling off in the Government revenues has reduced the funds available for education. From the central Government last year the amount expended did not exceed Sl.200,000. as against $1,600,000 the previous year. Regarding the new coinage of the islands the Secretary says that one of the most satisfactory results of the Government's transactions during the year in the islands is the establishment on a firm basis of the(new coinage. During the year the commission has enacted an internal revenue law and abolished the industrial taxes which had come down from the Spanish regime The industrial taxes subjected all kinds of business, even the smallest, to a license tax, and wa3 thought to work proportionately harder on the smaller businesses than upon large enterprises. The present bill imposes a tax on the production of liquor and alcohol, upon the manufacture of cigars and cigarettes, and also upon banking and corporations. The improvement of Manila Harbor has made good progress. The work of constructing a temporary wharf at the important port of Cebu has been completed. and the improvement of the harbor at Iloilo is in progress. Regarding the tariff on the Philippine products in the United States the Secretary says: "The reports of Governor Wright and of Commissioner Worcester show, what has appeared in the reports from the islands since the American occupation. the necessity for reducing the tariff on Philippine products entering the United States, in order that we may give to the islands a market in America, leading to a revival of business in the islands.'' fionoPdl WnnH has q wnrd fftV the Moros. "With all then;-.faults," he says, "they are bn^ve and resolute, and under good laws and an honest government in time will give a pood account of themselves. He says thp standing of the American people among the natives of his province has been much Injured by the presence of a large, touch class of Americans, "whose energies have been princioally expended in the construction, maintenance and patronape of rum shops, which outnumber other American business establishments." Referring to the proposed bond issue of $5,000,000 for general improvements the Secretary says that owing to a deficit this.,year it is very important that the section of the bill which has passed the House and Senate already authorizing the issue of the bonds be enacted. The Secretary further says that it is likely the customs revenues during the next six months will increase to their normal amount, avoiding the possibilifv of a deficit. In regard to the regulation of the opium trade the Secretary says the plan of the opium committee ought to be adapted with one variation, and that is instead of a Government monopoly for three years a very high license be instituted with sale of the drug only to officially registered smokers and a total prohibition of the sale of opium after three years, except for medical purposes. NEW TRIAL FOR BURTON. J". S. Supreme Court Reverses Action Against Kansas Senator. Washington. D. C.?The case of Senator J. R.

One Regiment From Each Brigade of Japanese March In, I ? !CORRESPONDENTS INSPECT FORT i Wild Lawlessness of Russian Soldiers Just Prior to the Official Surrender? Procession of Mtkado's Armr Fire Miles Long-Gen. Stoessel Blamed For j the Surrender?Memorial Services Held ! Headquarters of the Third Japanese | Army at Port Arthur, via Tientsin.? | The victorious Japanese army formal! Jy entered Port Arthur. General Nogi I with his staff entered first through the [ old town and took his stand in the pubj lie square of the new town. The army i n-ss rpnr^sented bv one regiment from eacli brigade. The procession, which was five miles long, was three hours passing the saluting base, : after, which the troops passed out of the city through the new town. The correspondents then visited the captured city for the first time. The old town buildings were badly smashed by shells, but in the new town the damage was slight. All the shipping in the harbor was badly dataaged by shell fire, the warships being practically useless, owing to the injuries they had sustained by shells. Proposals for the surrender of Port Arthur were first made December 29 at a council of war. General Stoessel was in favor of surrender, but some of his general officers were bitterly opposed to it. The regimental officers and the troops were not consulted. The-first neyrs they had of the surrender was January 1 after General Stoessel had communicated with the Japanese. The scenes which followed were disgraceful. Drunken soldiers filled the streets and refused to oney tneir oracers. Many of them destroyed the guns upon the positions they had defended and came into the city -without permission. The infantry loudly protested that i the fortress had been given away, threw their rifles and ammunition into the harbor and proceeded to break into warehouses and loot and drink vodka until in a helpless condition. It was evident'that the surrender was not necessary, as there were 31,00? effective men in the fortress. The supply of ammunition was short, but it was not exhausted. Food whs scarce, but private stores were not requisitioned by the military. There is no difficulty in getting good meals in the city even now from the stores in private possession. A portion of the fortress was capable of defense for months longer. It was the opinion of tVe non-combatants at Port Arthur that the surrender was unnecessary, as the troops were willing pnd able to fight to the bitter end. General Stoessel was much blamed for what wa"s characterized jis a diseraceful conclusion of a splendid de fense, which ended with the death of Major-General Kondratenko, who was loved by the soldiers, and was the life of the defense. Memorial services were held in honor of the spirits of the Japanese dead, upon the plain north of the village of Shuishi, a short distance from Port Arthur. Regiments representing the entire Japanese army were present. A shrine was erected on the crest of i a small hill, and the troops formed a circle around it. General Nogi and his staff were present. Lunch was served afterward in the open to all the officers present. It was a splendid spectacle. GEN. STOESSEL SAILS FOR HOME j Leaves Nagasaki With Staff and More Than 500 Officers and Men.

The Australien was not allowed to leave the harbor before dark as a precaution against the Russians or others obtaining knowledge of the defenses. The steamer was piloted out of Nagasaki by Japanese naval officers. During their stay here the Russian officers bought curios valued at more than $12,000, having ample supplies of money, but the soldiers had not received their pay for many months.

" rate bills introduced Administration's Plan For Regulating Railroad Tariff One Bill Empower* (he Interstate Com. mission to Ft* Rates?Other Creates a Conrt to RctIbw Kales Fixed. Washington, D. C.?Tlie so-called Administration measures to increase the powers of the Interstate Commerce Commission were introduced in the House. There were two of them, one from Representative Esch, of Wisconsin. and th? other from Representative Townsend, of Michigan. These bills are regarded as having the indorsement of President Roosevelt, because their authors were told by the President that their ideas about dealing with the railway rate question accorded with his own. and at his suggestion they collaborated with Attorney-General in (IrofHnw tho nrnnnsAfl Ipcrisla. 1UVI/UJ XII UiUI.UU0 buv - - 0.? tion. The Eseh and Townsend bills arc along the lines of most of the suggestions made by other Congressmen to give a greater degree of Federal supervision over railway freight rates. The Esch measure gives the Interstate Commerce Commission the right to fix a rate, and the Townsend Bill provides for the creation of a court of transportation, which shall have authority to say whether that rate is reasonable. In thus proposing a special court to deal with rate adjudication the Townsend bill adopts the suggestion of Secretary of the Navy Morton, and goes contrary to the idea of Representative Hepburn, Chairman of the Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce, and Senator Elkins, Chairman of .the Iutersjate Commerce Committee, that provision should be made for an additional Judge in each Federal circuit to handle interstate commerce cases. It is generally believed that the Esch and Townsend bills were read and approved by the President before they were introduced. > The Esch bill provides that the In terstate Commerce Commission snau declar?. when complaint is made, what shall be a just and reasonable rate, practice or regulation for the future with respect to any matter of transportation. The order shall become operative thirty days after notice to the persons affected. At any time within sixty days any person feeling the rate to be unjust, unreasonable or discriminatory. may institute proceedings in the Court of <Transportation, sitting as a court of equity, to have-it reviewed. The Townsend bill creates a Court of Transportation with the powers of a Circuit Court, and is to have original exclusive jurisdiction of all cases growing out of such orders, regulations and requirements that may be made and promulgated by the Interstate Commerce Commission,- either in law or in equity. It is to be composed of a Chief Justice, to whom a salary of $9000 a year is to be paid, and four Associate Justices at a salary of $8300 each. Appeal from this court is to be had to the Supreme Court of the United States only. A rate bill representing the view3 of the six Democratic members of the House Commerce Committee and also those of Representative John Sharp Williams, tbe Democratic floor leader, was introduced by Representative Davey. of Louisiana. It gives the Interstate Commerce Commission the power to fix a rate that is to remain in force until overruled by the United States Court haviug proper jurisdiction. SAT DEAD FACE TO FACE. Murder Followed by Suicide Over Investigation of a Treasurer's Books. Tnrl ?.Tnhn Rrant. a f CCUClOUUi^f ***? w? ? well-known Democratic politician, and Charles Eckburg, financial secretary of the Odd Fellows' lodge, of this city, were found at 4 o'qlock in the afternoon sitting facing each, other in a barber shop, each dead from a bullet in the brain. Brant was a member of a committee appointed by the lodge to investigate Eckburg's books, and a letter on Eckburg spoke of intended suicide and that he "would carry Brant with him."Until the letter was found it wa3 supposed that the two men had quar-* reled and fought in the barber shop, which they entered early in the morning. Pistol shots were heard, but the sound was muffled. Eckburg's letter, addressed to the public, shows that lio had planned to assassinate Brant and for that purpose invited him to the shop. A revolver was found in a cuspidor near Eckburg's body. The men leave families. The Coroner began investigating the case. ' DROPS DEAD AFTER SERMON. Rev.

Before the arrival of the police George Taylor, David King and Fred Woodbeck entered the house.
