Stiowcr1 phone WFILIPINO NEEDS Taft Writes Interestingly of Affairs In Our Eastern Possessions SUBMITS COMMISSION'S REPORT The Secretary of War Says in His Let ter of Transmittal That Tranquility is the Rule Throughout the Islands. Washington, Special. - Secretary Taft has submitted to the. President the -annual report of the Phil ippine commission, together -with the separate reports of the com mission of the civil governor of the islands. The secretary says in his let ter of transmittal to the President that the reports show the great benefit which has been conferred upon the islands by a continued state of tran quility. Execpt in the. wild, mountain ous regions of the unexplored island of Samar and in thc Moro region of the Rio Grande and Lake Lanao, in the sparsely settled island of Mindi nao, and in thc island of Jolo, condi tions as to tranquility and ladronism, he says, continue to improve, and ex cept in the places mentioned agricul ture and the arts of peace are not at all interfered with by lawless bands or depredations. He says it is quite satisfactory to observe the good ef fect of a settled policy witn regard to the civil service, under a stringent civ il service law, on the personnel and efficiency of the service. .Many of the Filipinos are learning English and ap plying for examination as English clerks. He says that the total expen ditures for education last year v>ere nearly $2,000,000, although $5,000,000 a year could readily be expended with out wasting money. The secretary says one of the most satisfactory results of the govern ment's transactions during the year in tho islands is the establishment on a firm basis of the new coinage. The Spanish Filipino coin and the Mexican coin have been practically driven out of the islands. The danger which pre sents itself now is the rise in price of silver, which, if it continues, may make silver peso worth more than 50 cents in geld, the present standard cf value, and thus lead to the melting up of the new silver pesos of the Philippine government. 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 present bill imposes a tax on the pro duction of liquor and alcohol, upon the manufacture of cigars and cigarettes and also upon banking and corpora tions. The law has not been in op eration a sufficient length of time to justify criticism or praise of it. Regarding the tariff on Philippine products in the United States, the Sec retary says: "The reports of Governor Wright and Commissioner Worcester show what has appeared in the re ports from the islands since the Amer ican occupation, the necessity for re ducing the tariff on Philippine pro ducts entering the United States, in order that we may give the island a market in America, leading to the revi val of business in the islands. I have already mentioned this so often that it is unnecessary to repeat what was said in my annual report." Of the Moros. Secretary Taft soys: "The report of Major General Wood on conditions in Moro province is of much interest. The report is given with a view io giving persons respon sible for the Moro government great latitude in dealing with the various Moro tribes, and the wisdom of this latitude is shown by the event. It was supposed when the Moro act was passed thal the Moros were sufficient ly advanced in tribal government to have laws which, after the elimina tion of such features as were savage or barbarous, might be adopted for prac tical use; but General Wood's re port shows that among the customs of the Moros there is practically noth ing which a government under the aus pices of the United States can make itself rci.ponsib'e for, and he recom mends that, the effort be to make the criminal laws of the islands substan tially uniform throughout i.he archi pelago, and ia this view I fully con cur. Old Man Accused of Arson. Suffolk, Special.-Accused of arson in Onslow county, N. C., an aged white man, Furney Jarman, was arrested here. Shortly after Jarmans arrival at a local hotel he was followed by two detectives, but Police Chief Brink ley got ahead of them in the arrest. Sheriff Middleton, of Onslow county, wired Brinkley to hold Jarman, say ing that there was $200 reward for his capture and conviction. Jarman told tho local police that he fled for fear cf lynching.

Some men dumped a quantity of fer mented wheat in a vacant lot near where a number of goats were pas turing. The odor arrested the attention ot the goats as being very tempting. They swarmed down the mountain and had a glorious' time eating tho wheat. The effect on the "butters" proved fatal, as they had eaten so much that they were poisoned. The residents feel the loss severely, as they derived their milk supply from the goats.-Montrose (Pa.) Independ ent. Unique Cycling Feat. What is perhaps an unparalleled feat in cycling is reported in a recent Australian mail. A one-legged cyclist has successfully pedaled his way from Rockhampton to Sydney, a distance of about 1,400 miles by road measure ment. Not counting delays and stop pages,'he did the journey in twenty eight days on a machine provided with only a single peda'. He achievea ninety miles on his best day; and on his worst, in bad, rough country, ho did not sink below thirty. He is now going to essay the more perilous feat of crossing Australia from Adelaide in the south to Port Darwin in the north, a distance of 2,000 miles, largely un inhabited and waterless. Getting Rid of Rats. A farmer tells the Sedalia Capital that he rid his farm of rats in the fol lowing manner: "On a very largo number of pieces of old shingles. I put about one-half a teaspoonful of mo lasses, and on that, with my pocket knife, I scraped a small amount of concentrated lye, and then placed the shingles around under the stable floors and under the cribs. The next morning I found forty dead rats, and the rest vamoosed the farm and left for parts unknown. I have cleared many farms of the pests m the same way an'd have never known it to fail." -Kansas City Journal. Another club woman, Mrs. Haule, of Edgerton, Wis., tells how she was cured of irregulari ties and uterine trouble, terrible pains and backache, by the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:- A while ago my health began to fail because of female troubles. The doctor did not help me. I remembered that mv mother had used Lydia IS. PirvUham's Vegetable Compound on many oc casions for irregularities and uterine troubles, and 1 felt RU re that it could not harm me at any rate to give it a trial. ? "I was certainly glad to find that within a week I felt much better, the terrible pains in the back and side were beginning to rease, and at the time of menstruation I did not hare nearly as serious a time as heretofore, so I continued its use for two months, and at the end of that time I was like a ncr/ woman. 1 really have never felt better in my life, have not had a sick headache since, and weigh 20 pounds more than I ever did, eo I un hesitatingly recommend your medi cine."- MRS.

Carr. Durham N. C., Special.-All of Dur ham was horrified early Friday morn ing when the LOWS spread rapidly over the streets that Dr. A. G. Carr, one of Durham's old and highly honored cit izens and one among the best known physicians in the State, had taken his own life. He committed suicide in his elegant home on East Main street at 6:45 o'clock, using a 32-callibre pis tol and firing one shot into his brain. The barrel of the pistol was placed in his right ear and the ball reached .a vital spot, death following instnat ly. At the time of the suicide there were but three persons in the house Dr. Carr, his wife, Mrs. Annie Carr, and the cook. The only son who is now at home, Mr. William Carr, had left but a few minutes before for the Durham Hosiery Mill, where he holds a position. The m?flled shot was heard by the cook, who was on the first floor almost immediately under the bath room, where the tragedy was enacted. She ran up stairs and found Dr. Carr in a small closet, connecting with the bath room, in a kneeling po sition with blood streaming from his head. .She ran back down stairs and told Mrs. Carr and then told the col ored man who was at the stable when the shot was fired. The latter ran into the bath room and then went to the house of Col. Harper Ervin, just across the street, and told him to come quickly. This he did and just as he ran into the bath rooni and raised the head of the doctor, he breathed his last. He never uttered a word after the leaden inessenger of death was fired into his brain. Coro ner Maddry was summoned and exam ined into the facts surrounding his death, but an inquest was not deemed necessary and the body was turned over to the undertaker. FAILURE OF HEALTH THE CAUSE. There is no doubt but that failing health and melancholia caused by his physical condition caused him to take the rash step. For three months or more he had been greatly depressed and did not seeem like his former self. He was dejected and care-worn. Several times he expressed himself as wishing that the end would come so that he could pass away from his sufferings. No one, however, anticipat ed that he would take his own life. The dead man was last seen alive by his son. When Mr. Will Carr started to the hosiery mill about 6:30 o'clock, he saw his father, who wa?, in his night clothes and going towards the bath room. The position of the dead man when found was such as to leave no doubt but that he knelt in prayer and then fired the fatal shot. S. A. L Reorganization. New York, Specia.-The plan to con solidate the different properties of the Seaboard Air Line Railway into a sin gle corporation and to provide addi tional capital, was made public by the re-organization committee.

An Appeal Denied McCue. Richmond, Va., Special.-The Su preme Court of Appeals refused a writ of error in the case of ex-M?yor Mc Cue, of Charlottesville, convicted of wife-murder and sentenced to hang the 20th of this month. A Charlottes ville special says that when the news of the action of the Supreme Court in denying a writ or error was convey ed to McCue, he lost his nerve and fainted. Steamer Goes Ashore in Fog. New York, Special.-^While feeling her way through the dense fog early Thursday, in an effort to reach this port, the sugar laden steamer Indus, from West India ports, struck Fire Is land bar and is now stuck hard and fast. At midnight the Indus was still ashore, with little prospect that she would be floated before the next high tide. Russian Prisoners Pleased. Nagasaki, By Cable.-The Steamers Kaga and Sunuki have arrived here with 1,600 Russian prisoners of war and 50 officers. All the prisoners have been quartered at Inasa, a village near by, where had also been prepared a lodge for General Stoessel, who will arrive next Saturday.

WEATHER* W?rm Wind Makes Entire Change ?rl Climatic Conditions. It is not generally known that, at certain seasons of the year it is warm er in Greenland than in southern Eu rope. And this occurs during the long sunless winter of the Polar regions. The cause which leads to it is not unknown in other countries. Thus in Switzerland a warm, dry wind, called the foehm wind, at times blows down from the snow-covered mountains in autumn and winter, and suddenly melts and carries off the snow, drying up the atmosphere. In the northwestern United States Ul ere is a similar wind railed the chi nook wind. So in Greenland at irregu lar intervals a warm wiud blows down from the snow-covered interior, bring ing an extensive thaw in January and February. Aa a result we have the extraordinary fact that, during eight consecutive days in November and December, 1875, it was warmer in Ja ookshavn, In latitude 09 degrees 20 minutes, than in northern Italy. Up ernavik, another town of Greenland, was, during part of the time, warmer than the south of France.-Montreal Herald. Reward for Inventive Mind.

BOY GAVE THEM IDEA. How Railroad Men Get Their Engine Off "Dead Center." A traveling man relates that while riding on the new Orient line between Harper and Anthony a few days ago. one of the side rods of the engine broke, and the other side stopped on a "dead center," so that when the re pair was made it was Impossible to start the train again. He says: "The engineer, the conductor, and all the passengers took turns going over the thing and trying to devise a way to make it run. Finally a boy came out of the field where he had been plowing to see what was going on. He crawled through the wire ! {pnce and sat down on the bank and fanned himself with his straw hat. " 'If you'd back that last car up the grade an' let 'er come down kerchunk, that 'ud start her,' he finally suggest ed, deliberately. "The railroad men sniffed contempt uously, hut the passengers sided with the boy. Finally the conductor gave orders that the rear car be uncoupled. No IPSS than fifty passengers caught hold and pushed the car up the grade. Once at. the top the car was let go. The loose coach gained momentum as it came down the hill, and in spite of the engineer's admonition to 'let her come down easy,' tho emergency bat tering ram crashed into the train with a tremendous thump. The engine was bumped off 'center' ail right."-Kan sas City Star. MIGHT HAVE SAVED IT. A Lot of Trouble Fr:?:n Toa Mticii StaroU Food. A little boy of eight years whose parents did not feed him on thc right kind of food, was always nervous and suffered from a weak condition of the stomach and bowels. Finally he was taken down with appendicitis and after the operation tho doctor, knowing that his intestinal digestion was very weak, put him on t? rape-Nuts twice a clay. He rapidly recovered lind about two mouths thereafter, his Father states, "He has grown to be strong, muscular, and sleeps soundly, weighs C2 pounds, and his whole system is in a fine con dition of health." Name given by Postum Co., Eatlle Creek, Mich. It is plain thai if he had been put on Grape-Nuts at an earlier period in his Mfe, and kept from the use of foods that he could not: digesi. lie never would have had appendicitis. That disease is caused by undigested food decaying in the stomach and bowels, causing irritation and making for the growth of all kinds of microbes, setting up a diseased condition which is tho active cause of appendicitis, and this is more marked with people who do not properly digest white bread. Grape-Nuts is made of thc selected parts of wheat, and barley r.nd by the peculiar processes of the cooking at thc 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.

To Abolish Spectacles. Optimists believe that Dr. Stephen Smith, surgeon of the eye department of Battersea Park Hospital, Notting ham, England, has discovered a new treatment of the eye which will practi cally abolish spectacles. It is styled "manipulation of the eye," and ls gen tle and gradual, occupying a few min utes daily, causing no pain and having no injurious effect of any sort. Some patients are cured In a week, and in all cases improvement is rapid. Thirty patients who had been obliged to wear spectacles for a long time have so far been treated by Dr. Smith, and, with a single exception, all have discarded glasses and can now read, at either long or short distances, as well as people who have never needed assistance. The cures of myopia, hypermetropia and astigmatism are said to be per manent.-Philadelphia Telegraph. Takes Children in Pawn. An Englishman makes ka excellent living by receiving children in pawn. The parents of the child are In want of money, perhaps to pay a debt or a fine. Their goods and chattels are practically worthless, and there is nothing upon which they can realize any cash. They accordingly place the child ''in pawn"-that is, allow the "pawnbroker" to have the services ol the boy or girl for a certain period in return for a sum of money. Of course, the amount paid is nothing near commensurate with the work the child does; but the parents think only of the immediate advance. Sharps and Flats. John E.
