An uninitiated public would like to

Funston'3 success ia partially ex
plained by the fact that the only way
to reach Agulnaldo's hiding place was
by water. . i '
Admitting that Afruinaldo is invulner

It seems a trifle strange that the peo
ple of Porto Pico, who resided there
contentedly under Spanish rule, have
begrun to emigrate by hundreds since
the American occupation. .What's the
matter with Porto Rico?
Indianapolis News: It is about the
first time that the Republicans have
come out boldly and announced that the
disfranchisement of illiterates is a
scheme to beat them at the polls. The
party has always professed to be the
party of intelligence and moral ideas.
MR. CARNEGIE'S GIFTS.
The question has been raised con
cerning the future stability of Mr.
Carnegie's donations, and whether they
are. in fact, cash equivalents, or are in
securities that are liable to deteriora
tion. Pack of this query Is another, which
asks whether Mr. Carnegie's gifts, are
not intended to strengthen the highly
watered steel corporation, and give it a
false position of popularity in the minds
of the people.
"The argument is that the cities which
receive these good things will be
sharers of the prosperity of the steel
corporation, and therefore the people in
these cities will be opposed to any leg
islation which misrht limit its power to
maintain the high prices of iron and
steel needed to earn dividends on its
enormous share capital."
It is claimed for Mr. Carnegie, that
of the nearly J:'.0.000.000 which he has
piven away, only about $7,000,000 has
been in the form of securities. The
buildings for libraries cost cash, and
Mr. Carnegie furnishes the cash, and
they are in no way dependent on the ex
pected profits, large or email, of the
steel corporation.
The experience of Johns Hopkins uni
versity of I-Ialtimore and other institu
tions. whse millions invested in secu
rities so shrank that the shrinkage has
mbarrassed their work and crippled,
for a time, their usefulness, reminds
persons to ask about the Carnenie insti
tute and its branches at Pittsburg and
the technical school and its endowment
at Pittsburg, and this has led the Dis
patch of that city to say:
"If the Carnepie institute exehang-ps
its million of Carnegie company bonds
for the bonds of the big-srer corporation,
it, with Mr. Carnegie, wiil hold a first
mortgage on the majority of the steel
manufacturing property of the country.
It need not care whether the United
States Steel corporation earns the $60,
000.009 or more necessary to yield divi
dends on its preferred or common stock.
All that interests it Is whether it earns
the $15,000,000 necessary to pay the Inter
est on the bonds. The $15,000,000 can be
earned without an excessive margin in
the, prices of iron and steel; the JtiO.OOO,
600 or $75,000,000 cannot."

RELICS FROM EGYPT.
Boston Society Receives Rare Speci
mens For Preservation.
Boston, March 9. Kev. Dr. Wm. C.
Winslow, vice president of the Egyptian
exploration fund, stated that in addi
tion to the papyri from Oaxyrhychus
presented to several universities is a val
uable lot of 43 papyri from several sites
in the I ayum, which have been received
for distribution.
A papyrus for Yale of the twenty-
second book of the Iliad of the first cen
tury preserves the notable combat be
tween Achilles and Hector. Harvard
gets two pieces of the Odyssey of the
first century. The University of Penn
sylvania has a fragment of the Odyssey
of the first century.
Among seven papyri for Columbia is
a tax collector's return, showing items
and how the collectors made returns in
A. D. 196. In the papyrus for Hamilton
college is the receipt for a voter named
Philoxenus.
One of the two papyri for Vassar col
lege is the official notice of the birth of
a son from Ischyias and his wife Thai
sarion. A. D. 150.
Of six papyri for Princeton one is a le-
turn of house property, A. D. 131, from
Sambous to Dius and Herodes, keepers
of the registry of property.
The rise of the Nile was the great
annual event, and upon it taxes were
calculated. Hence one of the six papyri
sent to Johns Hopkins, treating of the
unwatered land tilled by Ptollarous, A.
D. 163, is peculiarly interesting. She de
clares that her field at Euhemeria did
not get the water. Her plea, in a word,
is "no crops, no taxes."
FOUND IVOIIY LI0SS.
Important Discoveries Made by Prof.
Petrie in Egypt.
Boston, March 29. Rev. Dr. William
C. Winslow. vice president of the Egypt
exploration fund, has just received offi
cial word that Prof. Petrie has un
earthed at Abydos the records of kings
before Mena, the founder of the first
dynasty, nearly 4,800 years before
Christ.
"We have found," writes Prof. Petrie,
"the names of Narma Ka and a king
named by a fish sign, perhaps also of
two kings. Deb and Sam of Mena, and
those earliest kings. There are about 30
inscriptions and a heavy strip of gold
with the name Aha (Mena). In the
tomb of Khazkhoumi were found stone
vases, each with a gold cap tied on with
gold wire. Also two broad bangles of
gold and a dinner service of a dozen
pans and dishes, with 160 models of tools
in hheet copper. The frequent use of
ivory then witnessed by the discovery
of 40 inscribed Ivories and stones and
two lions cut in ivory."
LEAVING PORTO RICO.
eland Is Being Depopulated of Its
Best Laborers.
San Juan, P. R., March 29. The
agents of the company engaged in con
structing the railroad from Guayaquil
to Quito, Ecuador, are in Porto Rico re
cruiting for laborers. This, in connec
tion with the departure yesterday of
S99 emigrants for Hawaii and 400 more
for Cuba to work in the iron mines, is
draining Porta Rico of its best laborers.
The entire press of the island is object
ing to this emigration. Planters cannot
cultivate their lands owing to the lack
of money, and consequently there is no
work to be had here. The authorities
are taking no step3 to prevent this emi
gration. . There are 63 cases of smallpox at
Ponce. A slight increase of the disease
in the rest of the island is reported.
BORROWS MONEY ON LEGS.
Omaha Woman Gets $25 From a
Pawnbroker on Artificial Limbs.
Omaha, Neb., March 29. Miss Jessie
Robinson applied at Sam Adler's pawn,
slu-p today for a loan on her cork lees.
The pawnbroker was startled by the
question: "Will you loan me $25 on my
legs?" from o. well dressed young woman
as she entered the shop.
The pawnbroker asked gravelv:
"Madam, have you your legs with you?"
She assured him that she waa standing
on them at the moment.
"They are cork, you know," she ex
plained apologetically.
At Adler's request the woman, timidly
nml with her face suffused with blushes,
lifted her skirts three or four inches, dis
playing a well-rounded cork ankle. She
explained that her artificial legs extended
above her knees. Adler insisted that It
must see the whole of the limbs befor
loaning money on them.
"Very well." she said In desperation,
'Til take them on" right here."
"For heaven's sake, don't do that! Go
home and I'll call for them," replied Ad
ler. The young woman left. Half an horn

by his siTa in the buggy the woman
called to him:
"I am expecting some money in a week
or two, and then I'll send around and get

The woman's natural legs were cut oft
in a railroad wreck at Greenwood, Neb.

Poultney, Vt., March, 29. Workmen In
removing a cellar wall today discovered
a hidden pit, seven feet square, in tne
center of which was a stout iron poat.
Fastened to :he post was a heavy iron

HAPPY L1RS. FUNSTON.
Many People Call at the Home
of the General.
Manila, March 29. When Aguinaldo
was captured he wore a plain dark blue
suit, with the coat closely buttoned at
the throat, and a wide white helmet.
with a leather band. He takes his cap
ture philosophically. He is generally
cheerful, but some times -moody. His
health during the past year has been
very good. It is uncertain what attitude
he will now assume.
Certain visitors are permitted to see
Aguinaldo but newspaper interviews
with the prisoner are not allowed.
Since Aguinaldo has been domiciled
at the Malacanan palace persons not
provided with special permtis have been
denied admission to the grounds.
General Trias, the commander of the
insurgent forces in southern Luzon, who
recently surrendered to the American
authorities, visited Aguinaldo and told
the latter why he surrendered. Trias
said that a continuance of armed oppo
sition to the United States was unjus
tifiable and ruinous; that the independ
ence of the Philippines was impossible,
and that the Filipinos would better ac
cept yberty, prosperity- and progress
under American rule.
The capture of Aguinaldo, following
the surrender of General Trias, will
probably occasion the surrender of the
insurgent leader Malavar, in Batangas
province, Luzon; Bellarmino, in Albay
province. Luzon, and Lucban, in the
island of Samar, within a mopth. Many
people visited the residence of General
and Mrs. Funston, on the Calle Real, in
the suburbs of Rrmita.
The general modestly declined to talk.
Mrs Funston, was evidently the happiest
woman in the Philippine islands.
Gen. Funston has been recommended
for the highest practicable reward. It
is believed here that he will receive &n
appointment as brigadier general in the
regular army.
SITUATION UNCHANGED.
At 3 p. rrf. the thirty-sixth ballot,
Clark offered a motion to vary the mo
notony. It was of trivial import, and
Governor Stanley arbitrarily laid it on
the table. Whereupon a bystander re
marked that this was no Joking mat
ter, and the councillors became solemn
again, proceeding to the forty-third bal
lot in the same nonchalant manner and
never a break.
Then to George Cole it suddenly oc
curred that an official state paper must
be selected, so the council went into ex
ecutive session to choose that vehicle of
the state's business.
A FIRE SCARE.
A man slaking lime in the basement
of the state house brought the sedate
executive council up out of their seats
this afternoon and away from the ex
citing railroad election to investigate a
fire scare. There had been a heap of
papers and refuse where the slaking
boxes had been placed. The sound of a
hose playing on the steaming lime com
pleted the deception.
PAPER FOR 219 YEARS.
James E. Moore and Brother Break
Subscription Record.
Binghamton, N. Y., March 29. "Please
send us your paper from the present
time until Dec. 31 of the year 2120, draw
on us at once for total bill and forward
receipt." Such was the purport of a let
ter recently written to the publisher of
the Greene American, a local newspaper,
by James H. Moore and his brother,
William H. Moore, the noted trustmak
ers. Some time ago the Moores decided
that they could do much good by intro
ducing a novel philanthropy, and the
record-breaking newspaper subscription
is the result. Today they received a re
ceipt, the price for 219 years being near
ly $1,400.
SOCIETY MEN USE FISTS.
Request For a Loan Ends in a Sensa
tion in Louisville.
Louisville, Ky., March 29. With their
bare fists In straight Marquis of Queens
berry style Dr. Leslie Myer and Lowell
Clark, both prominent young men in
Louisville society, settled a point of
honor early this morning. Myer won in
the second round with a right on the
jaw. The trouble started in Memphis,
Ter.n., several weeks ago. Dr. Myer,
who is an ex-volunteer soldier, was then
visiting a last year's debutante. His
funds ran low. and meeting Clark asked
for a loan. Clark told the young wo
man. The physician's money came from
Louisville that day.' He and Clark met
yesterday and the fight was arranged.
CAPITAL IS ELECTED.
The state executive council this after
noon elected the Daily Capital official
state paper.
Paving Turned Down.
The council committee on streets and
walks failed to act on the application for
paving Eighth and Ninth streets between
Quincv ajid Monroe. Some of the people
in the blocks want wider paving than was
asked for in the petition and it is on
this account that tiie petitions were not
acted upon.
1VIIITE MEN OF ALGERIA.
From the London Express.
The Berbers of Algeria are a people of
whom there is much good to be said
Whether in the olive-clad mountains of
Kabylia or the terraced valleys of the:.
Aurasian fastnesses, they are white men
and in general act like white men.
Very little is known about them in this
country, but Mr. Anthony Wilkin has
written so fascinatingly about them in
his admirable book "Among the Berbers
of Algeria," that there is no excuse for
us to remain longer in ignorance con
cerning this interesting race of men.
Among them the virtues of honesty,
hospitality and good nature are con
spicuous; and it is something of a mis
fortune to reflect that Mahomedanisn
and the fact that they no longer dwell
in the lowlands prevent them entering
as they would otherwise have entered, on
the path of peace and progress.
Descendants of a mighty race, whose
culture once spread from the Atlantic to
the Red sea and the Hauron, from Crete
to Timbuctoo and the Soudan, there are
Ftill to be found among them the ves
tiges of the arts and sciences, of the spir
it of conquest, and the capacity for self
government which, if developed, would
again make them a great nation.
The Berber women of the Aures wash
their garments on the rocks, soaking
them, treading upon them, and spread
ing and trampling each piece until it is
quite clean. They have blue eyes and
fair skins, and, unlike the true daugh
ters of the prophet, gaze unveiled upon
the casual unbeliever.
Throughout the Aures district the
houses are built on the same plan. When
e cliff can be found to form the bacK
wall it is used as such, Mr. Wilkin in
forms us. If the cliff contains a hole or
hollow, so much the better.
The walls are made of blocks of stor.e
Eet in mud instead of mortar, the large,
crevices being filled with splinters and
the smaller with fragments; while in tha
better houses the square faces of the
stones are set outwards in such a way
as to give a very regular appearance.
Inside these houses are generally stotce
benches, which have been carved fro.n
the rocks, or are built of odd stones and
plastered flat with mud. The floors also
are of rock leveled with mud.
The animals are sometimes stabled in
the family room ,but as often in a sep
arate stall, either under or close to the
main building. The women regularly
sweep the roofs every morning; nor are
the villagers so dirty as might be sup
posed. At sunset the women come up from th?.
streams bearing water in goat-skins, or
faggots, or forage, all piled upon their
backs. For the most part they are dress
ed in black or dark blue gowns, gathered
in at the waists -with brightly-colored
woolen girdles.
Some wear sandals of grass neatly
plaited, and these are commonly worn
by the men as well. Many women go
barefooted, however, like the children.
The wives of rich and indulgent hus
bands are often loaded with coarse sil
ver ornaments, Including a gigantic pair
of anklets that weigh nearly a pound,
end clank like chains on the legs of the
proverbial ghost.
Their headdresses vary greatly in the
matter of color, but are all more or lrs3
based on a squarish turban, over which
gaudy handkerchiefs are arranged with
scrupulous care and an excellent eye Cn'
effect.
The servants wear practically the
same garments as their masters, and are
treated so nicely by them that it is diffi
cult for a stranger to disUnguish them
at once. To notice a servant, however, in
the presence of a kaid would be a gra- e
breach of etiquette.
Often your host will Insist on waiting
on you himself, and on these occasions
he will not touch a mouthful himself un
til he sees that his guests are satisfied.
The Berber is a born trader, who will
think nothing of tramping for miles to
gain a few pence.
Though tattooing is expressly forbidden
by the Koran, the practice prevails
among all the Berbers of Algeria. The
girls often have a blue cross on the fore
head between the eyest
Whatever the women think, they in
stantly act elope with some young
spark, take to the mountains, or die pre
maturely, leaving a sorrowful husband
with an all-too-numerous family. They
are creatures of Impulse.
Majority of Alaskan Commercial
Companies United.
San Francisco, March 29. The Post
says:
A combination has been formed by
companies engaged in the Alaskan trade
for the purpose of preventing profitless
competition. A uniform scale of prices
will be adhered to, and the companies
of San Francisco, Seattle, Cape Nome
and Dawson will be on an equal foot
ing. Five companies so far have been draw"
into the union, and it is expected that
others will follow. Those that have al
ready signified their Intention to abide
by the rules of the agreement are the
Alaska Commercial company and Alas
ka Exploration company of this city;
the North American Transportation and
Trading company of Seattle, the Ames
Mercantile company of Cape Nome and
the Seattle-Yukon Trading company of
Seattle and Dawson. They represent
the bulk of trade with these points in
the Alaskan territory.
The formation of the union Is the re
sult of negotiations which have been
underway for several weeks. Represen
tatives of Seattle and other places have
visited San Francisco for the purpose of
reaching an understanding wdth the of
