Proclamation of (inioral MaeArtliur to ltniur£«)iit l.i'ndor^ MANILA, DOC. 21.— General MncAr thur has issuoda proclamation warning tlio inhabitants of tlio archipelago that hereafter strict compliance with the laws of war will In: required of non-com batnuts as well as combatants. Tlio proclamation sots forth tho yriuoipal laws of war. It refers to recent proclamations issued by insurgent commanders threat ening natives who are friondly to the American forces, and also to the orders issued to their men to kidnap aud assassinate residents of towns occupied by Americans. The insurgent leaders are notified that such practices, if continued, will put an end to tho possibility of their resuming civil service regulations and will make them fugitives. Inhabitants of places occupied by Americans are notified that compliance with tho de mauds of the enemy will create a pre sumption that such is Voluntary and Malicious. They are notified that pleas of compnl. eion will rarely bo recognizud, and even well disposed persons will be exposed to tho danger of being tried for traitors. Tho proclamation says that its warn ings and requiremer ts are to apply with special force to Munilu, the "ren dezvous of the emissaries of insur ruction." Newspapers aro warned against pub lishing sedition, and the proclamation declares that the rebels who aro not part of an organized force are not en titled to the privileges of prisoners of war, adding that the fact that they have not hitherto been held responsi ble is "evidence of tho solicitude of the Uuited States to avoid the appearance of harshness." The proclamation clearly disavows any recognition of technical bel ligerency. SOUTH PACIFIC CHARTS. Startltngr Dlicoverlca Made by Fl«h CommUnlon Steamer Albntroaa. The fish commission steamer Alba tross, which returned the other day after 14 months' cruise in the Pacific, made some important discoveries dur ing the voyage. It was found that all the charts of the South Pacific are in accurate, and that most of the islands, except Fiji and Tahiti, are placed from two to twelve miles away from their actual position. The Albatross also discovered that the temperature of the bottom of the sea at all depthi from 500 fathoms to the greatest depths obtainable is the same—35 de grees Fahrenheit. Between the sur face and 2,500 fathoms down they found edible shrimp, varying in size from half an inch to a foot in length. The Albatross bToke the record for deep «ea dredging, dragging the "bottom al 4,300 fathoms. The greatest depth ever dragged before was 3,000 fath oms, by the British ship Challenger, in 1870. In the Behring sea the Alba trossfoundat a place where the chart* show 2,000 fathoms that tue depth is only 200 fathoms. REPORTS SUBMITTED. Hoane Committee Hadly Divided on the Reapportionment Hill.

Cuda hy, Sr., has confirmed the statement that ho will pay §25,000 for tho capture of tlio gang who abducted his sou Ed ward and secured a ransom of $25,000 in gold. It is stated that Pat Crowo, well known iu local police circles, is the man whom tlit police suspect of being the leader of tlio gang. Ollicers are looking for Crowe but so far ho has not boon arrested. A force of private detectives from Chicago have begun work on the case. Tho only clue tlicy have to work upon at present is a copy of tho letter thrown on Mr. Cuchiby's lawn, naming the conditions ou which tho boy would bo returned. Mr. Cuduhy roturiied the original copy with tlio money, this be ing one of the considerations demanded by the desperadoes. I GLUTTONY Is more common than we may think, if we define gluttony as eating beyond the body's need of sustenance and bej'ond the stomach's capacity for digestion aud assimilation of food. That is a fair definition, and it. fastens the name glut ton on many a person who would resent the term as an insult. The fact of this gluttony is marked by its consequences. The overloaded stomach becomes dis eased. The popular term for the condi tion is "weak" stomach. The "weak" stomach fails in furnishing adequate nu trition for the body, and soon the "weak ness spreads from the stomach to other organs. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures diseases of tlie stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. It enables the perfect assimilation of food, by which alone the health and strength of the body is maintained. "Your medicine helped me so much that I cannot praise it too highly," writes Mrs. C. L. Brooks, of Poland, Androscoggin Co., Me. "The first dose I took helped me. I cannot forget how I felt when I took it I was suffering every thing with indigestion, and my stomach was so bloated that it seemed as though it must burst. My husband said he was going for the doctor, but I said if he would get me a 1 ottle of the T.olden Medical Discovery' I would try that. I had not taken it long when I felt relieved, and have not had a touch of indigestion or stomach trouble since. I had been sick for four years, and less than four bottles cured me. Some people that knew me before I began to take the 'Golden Medical Discovery' tell ine that they never saw such a change in any one, ana they also sav they don't see how I can do such larjje washings as I do now, when I had not done a washing for long."

Ages ^iven in marriage licenses in the recorder's oflice show that men and women are marrying later in life than ten or twenty years ago. The average age, says the Kansas City Journal, is considerably above that of ten years ago, and very much above that of 20, 30 or 40 years ago. Formerly it was the rule rather than the exception for brides to he 17 or 18 and grooms 20 or 21. Now it is al most reversed. Figures for several months show that the average bride's age is between 25 and 20 and the groom's between 28 and 29. Tlie average of the first six couples applying for license at the recorder's office on a recent day was 33'/2 for the men and 32 for the women. VVhen the number of couples had reached nine the figures were reduced to 30 for the men and 28 for the women. These figures, however, are not a good cri terion, the couples applying that day happening to be a little older than ordinarily. Figures also indicate that couples marrying in May are younger on the average than those marrying in the fall of the year. "I don't know to what to attritrate the tendency to marry later in life," said the marriage license clerk, "un less it is that it takes the young man longer to get a start in the world than it did 20 or 30 years ago. The country is more developed, there are not so many opportunities open to him, and he must wait longer before he finds himself in a position that would warrant his taking the respon sibility of supporting a family. In other words, men no longer marry young beeause they can't afford it." COOK ISLANDS ANNEXED. Great Britain "takes Formal Poiaei. Ion o€ Them at the Xeqatat of the Chlefa. On October 3. last, the governor of New Zealand land on the Cook islands and formally annexed them to the Hritish empire at the unanimous request of the chiefs and people. For 12 years the islands have b. en under the protection of Great Britain and every enactment of the native legis lature has hail to receive the approval of the British resident at Kara tonga before being regarded as law. Hut there has never been any formal an nexation of the group and the natives are probably lighted to have that ceremony carried out. The islands, lying far southeast of Samoa, are off the usual lines of steam er traffic, and most of their trade is carried on with New Zealand and New South Wales. They properly bear the name of the great navigator Cook, for he discovered the greater part of the group on his second journey in 1773. and made them better known in his voyage of 1777. Cook na med one of the islands Hervey island, and the missionaries who settled there somehow got into the habit of applying the name Hervey to tlie whole group, and to-day they are called indifferently, the CookorHervey islands. All of them are coral islands, lifted only a little "way above the sett level, ex cept Karatonga. the largest aud most populous, whose volcanic mountain rises to a height of feet. Kara tonga is one of the pearls of the South seas, and is rich in all the products of the southern archipelagoes. The na tives have long us-d cotton cloth as money, but coin is now likely to be in troduced. COMMON CACTUS. One Thai Lived Seven Yonrs I udei a Seiiled Gin** Cn*e in llerlin.
