And what is it all for? or what are we to gain by it? is the question, put in its lowest form, which one who keeps an ordinarily sane head upon his shoulders is sure to ask on fairly confronting the Philippine situation. Such a one knows that all talk about our obligation as a j country, and the obligation of our govern- ' incut to put down what they arc pleased to call an "Insurrection" in those islands ! is idle in the extreme. It is talk that is I used to deceive —a form of gross self- ; delusion to call it by no worse name. The insurgents there are the very people who, long before we in this land knew or cared anything about them, j had risen up against Spanish domina- 1 tion; and the precise moment they found out that our government meant to sub stitute its domination for the Spanish, j they simply continued vp. That is the : whole situation. Their folly and crime ! is that they won't submit. They do not ! want to be dominated. Even though by j the art of the phrasemaker we call it j "benevolent assimilation," they yet wi 1 have none of it. Our talk of "enlarging the area of . freedom" they do not understand—or I understand only too well as merely a form of speech for uso on the stump at home. It does not deceive them, how- j ever docilely multitudes may take to it on this side of the globe. It has no charms for their ears. The Filipinos are not insurgents against us —us merely. They are insurgents against tyranny and oppression—Span ish rule, which they didn't want, and now our rule, which they want just as little. We paid Spain $20,000,000 for this business, but what a pitiful business it is the whole world knows —especially how pitiful, and monstrous in all shame ful as well as lamentable ways, for this great American republic, which for a hundred years and over has been pro claiming with most peculiar emphasis i the political doctrine that more than j any other it has stood for: namely, that ■ just governments derive their powers ! from the consent of the governed. The Philippine Islanders do not want our rule, but, instead, they insist upon a rule of their own. If that makes them insurgents, then they are insur gents and their contlict is an "insurrec tion;" if it makes them rebels, then they are "rebels." Hut that is a good old word with us, who are children of our fathers, whose forefathers fought at Lexington and Princeton and Yorktown, and suffered at Valley Forge. They wore rebels against the Spanish rule, and now simply continue to be rcbolsiagainst our rule, which we pur chased —the right to it if we could get it —by the expenditure of twenty millions of good gold, and are now trying to to enforce vi et armis. Hut after we have gotten our islands in the Asian seas, what then? After all the expenditures above noted and also estimated —after tramping upon our cherished national traditions and much belauded principles, and making onl selves the astonishment to the intelli gent of the earth and a laughing-stock to other nations; after squandering untold treasure and sacrificing heca tombs of thousandfold more precious lives; and after stirring up, perhaps, age-long bitterness, and causing no end of confusion and varied forms of wrong at home—what arc we to gain by it, not for the world or for humanity, but, in the lowest and most primitive meaning of the term, for ourselves? What is it all for. this light we are making in the Philippines? Saturday is the day when the voters of Freeland will decide whether this town shall go forward or backward. There is no middle ground. The vote cast must be for or against progress. Defeat the bond issue and a cloud is thrown upon the future of our borough which will require years of work and much money to remove.

Some people are willing to live up to their light as long as their eyes are I bandaged. j It is our little deeds of love that I are large and our great deeds of self that are little. The difficulties in the path of duty disappear when we go forward as though they were not there. Some men lay the loadstone of lust alongside the compass of conscience and then talk about its being a good i guide. | The preacher who talks about firing over the heads of his people had better learn that his business is feeding as | well as firing. j Men cannot do without a creed; he must have a backbone, hut that is only a part of him.

I Recently, Charles Rtoddard put some light boards over his well and during the night the exhalation blew part of the boards off. One man covered his well, except a i round hole through one of the boards, and when a hat. folded newspaper or other similar obect was placed over the hole, it would be blown off. The air seems to come from a stratum of very coarse gravel, in which there is no sand or other substance, except a little souplike matter.

TOURISTS GET CAUGHT. | How the Shrewd Yankee Sometimes Overmatches the Equally Snb tle Spaniard. Xn Return From Havana Without n Memento Is Uncommon—A Washington Woman After a Long Hunt ltrouglit Home in Despair a Rusty Second-lluml Tin Dipper. Havana pawnshops have irresistible attractions for American visitors. To | return home without any spoils of the chase is a reflection on one's ability j which the practiced relic-hunter docs not permit. It was a Washington wo man who, in outright despair, stopped at a cheap junk shop and bought a ' rusty second-hand tin dipper for a peseta, which is 20 cents in Spanish | money. Being wise in her knowledge of human nature, she refused all ex planations beyond a mysterious hint that the tin dipper might have a his tory. She was envied, but not imitated, because a second rusty tin dipper with a history would be received with sus picion. | At a pawnshop on Compostella street, a collection in which scores of persis tent collectors had picked until there was literally nothing left, had been ex amined listlessly and the searcher was turning away in disappointment. The owner pulled out from under the show case an ancient medallion. He offered it hesitatingly and with apologies for the trifle. He thought it might an- j swer. Probably it would not have an- i swered had not a ray of sunlight hap- : pened to strike the face of the medal- j lion. The searcher after novelties | I was an old hand. He could catalogue all the pawnshops and like establish- ; ments in Havana. He betrayed no : surprise. Handling the medallion j carelessly in the shadow, he asked in differently, "How much? A dollar?" "No, no, senor. It is really curious. ; Two centens" ($11). "What!!!" "Don't be in a hurry, senor. Seven j dollars and a half." "Two dollars." ' "A centen, senor." i "Three dollars and a half." And the bargain was clinched at $3.50 in Spanish silver. ' The next day the place and all simi- ! lar places were filled with Americans i and Cubans hunting medallions. The j proprietor of the first-named shop comprehended it. He had no more me dallions, but lie had a number of cheap mosaics. Some of them might have been worth $3. He calmly asked sls | each for them and got it in two cases from guileless Americans. So when the original purchaser strolled in to buy a 50-cent shell cameo, the proprie | tor was in good humor and offered a mosaic worth a dollar for 2 centens, with the suggestion that it would be a ! small contribution towards equalizing ' the previous transaction. He did not ; know the history of the medallion and ! did not remember how it came into his I hands. If he had remembered, prob ably the senor Americano would not ! have obtained it so cheaply, he casual | ly remarked, in polite Castillian. Prob | ably not. Though its history is un known, its like has not been found in Havana and the purchaser is content. The lucky finds or bargains are dis tributed as unevenly as the gifts of the J gods. And they are as rare. The Spanish merchant, though he may lack in fertility of invention, knows how to charge four prices from a purchaser who wants something. In the first blush of their experience the American visitors learned to pick out the article they want and then send a Cuban or a Spanish friend around to make the pur chase. The plan worked well for a short time. Then the shopkeepers calmly trebled and quadrupled their prices. "An American wants that," was the only reply they would give to the indignant and voluble remon strances of their Latin customers. And the Americans had to pay. Yet some times they were victorious. The wife of an officer in one of the Illinois vol unteer regiments discovered among a lot of trash in a place on O'Reilly street a pair of unique and quaintly-carved brass stirrups. She. too, was an ex perienced relic hunter. She made two or three slight purchases and then, pointing to the stirrups, inquired, "How much?" "Six centens, $30," was the reply. "Some day I'll give you $5 for them," she said, pleasantly, as she departed. The shop had a considerable trade and the presence of American custom ers was not looked upon as a suspic ious circumstance. ThQse who heard of the "find" and made surreptitious examinations of the stirrups would have welcomed the opportunity to have paid S3O for them. But the right of original discovery was respected. The original discoverer made occasional visits to the shop, always announcing that she would take the stirrups when ever they were marked down to $5. One day a blundering cavalryman from Texas happened to see them. "Give you s2') for hose stirrups," he said to the clerk. The cavalryman was not in the secret and was not, therefore, blameworthy, hut his companion could have choked him. The fates were kindly. The clerk called tie proprie tor. Before the price that had been offered could be repeated, the shop keeper shook his head. Ho was very polite and very sorry, but tie stirrups had been promised an American lady j who was likely to call any day. Three days later the colonel's wi 'e was re ceiving the congratulations of the or tire staff of Camp Columbia on !• trophies and of the wives and dan tcrs of the entire staff on her bargr. \ve'vo often wondered what will 1 come of the self made man in the lie. round-up. 1A man gets the last word in an argu ment with a woman, but it's because she gives it to liiui. STRANGE RAILWAY CRIME 1 A Robbery Which C'ould Not Occur in un American Train. A daring attempt, under novel cir cumstances, to rob or murder a pas senger in a train is reported to have occurred in the Bordeaux-Paris ex press recently. M. Albert Roux. a Pa risian lawyer, was returning to the cap ital from the south, and in order to be able to sleep on the journey he had taken a seat in a coupe carriage, in which he was the only passenger. As soon ae the train had started on its journey, M. Roux made preparations to lie down, and was dozing, when he was •awakened by a peculiar odor which seemed to have suddenly invaded the compartment, and which, according to M. Roux. rasembled spirits of wine.; As he had a small spirit lamp in his traveling bag. M. Roux thought this might have got broken. As he was getting up to inspect it M. Roux notie-j ed a man on the footboard of his car-! riage, endeavoring to open the door,' which, fortunately, was also locked! from the inside. M. Roux drew a re volver which he had in his pocket and pulled the alarm, the train being brought to a standstill between St. Sul piee and Vavzre. Meanwhile, the man had disappeared from the footboard, | and, as he was not to be found in the train after a careful inspection, it is presumed that he jumped down as the, train drew up, and made off across country. In the next carriage to that which M. Roux had occupied, however, a dis-! covery was made which leaves no: doubt as to the intentions of this mys-j terious passenger. A small hole had; been drilled through the division which! separated the compartments. Through! this hole a glass tube had been intro duced. and some pieces of India rubber, tubing which had been left on the seati showed that chloroform had been pour-! Ed through them. It had doubtless; been calculated that the chloroform would fall close to the sleeping passen ger's nostrils, and that lie would have thus become overpowered. Having given the anaesthetic time to act, the thief, it is surmised, got out of his car-j riage. and intended entering the car-j riage occupied by M. Roux to rob him. 1 M. Roux was able to give to the po-j lice a careful description of this indi vidual. whom he had previously no- 1 ticed at Bordeaux station, and who seemed desirous of getting in the same compartment with him, but was ap parently deterred by his engaging a coupe. The police have scoured the surrounding country, but up to the present time have been unable to iind any trace of the culprit. Famous Poison Case. The first poison case in which strych nine, a poison of this century, was used was that of Wainright. whose deeds Dickens lias related and who effected' the murder of Miss Abercrombie in! 1830. The second strychnine case was: that of William Palmer, who murdered young Cook in 1850. This trial is re-i garded as the most famous poisoning case of the century. At the trial the theory was promulgated that strych nine could not be detected in the body! of a victim after death by any known test. It afterward turned out that, re-' lying on an alleged statement to that effect, made at Palmer's trial by Dr.' Taylor, the eminent authority on poi-i sons. William Dore, who became the defendant in another celebrated trial,! was led to poison his wife with strych-! nine. At the present day. however, it i 6 certainly not true that there is no! infallible test for strychnine, for if, by the "color test." so-called, a certain succession of colors is produced, the! presence of strychnia is said to be de termined beyond a doubt. Yet strych nia in a fatal quantity can be so mi nutely distributed in the system that the failure of this test to produce the proper color is no sign that the poison is not present. In the Palmer case, however, the prosecution were obliged to rely for; proof that Cook had been poisoned al most entirely un the observed symp toms of the illness, for. whether through carelessness or through the' imperfection of the appliances used, the! body furnished no certain evidence of the presence of strychnia. The story! of lire case was as follows: John Par sons Cook, on coming into his fortune of .£12.000, abandoned his profession ol! law and took to the turf. Here his in timacy with Palmer began. At this time the latter, a surgeon by profession' but now occupied with breeding and training race horses, was in severe pe-| cuniary straits, liis wife's fortune be ing only for her life, he had insured her life for £13,000, at a premium ex-j ceedingly his yearly income, and,! strangely enough, within nine months! .of this time the wife had died. Three' months afterward he tried to effect an! insurance on the life of his brother Walter, a confirmed drunkard, for the enormous sum of .£BO.OOO. but the in surance officers were suspicious and re jected his application. The insurance money from his wife did not keep him long afloat. 4n 1851 he had discounted hills to the amount of nearly £12.000, to every one ol! which lie had forged the acceptance ol! his mother, and these bills were all due or maturing in November, 1855. the month of the murder. On November 13 i Cook's horse Polestar won at the! Shrewsbury races, and £1.700 fell tc Cook, in cash or bets, payable in seven days. On Wednesday, the 21st, Cook lay dead, his pocketbook was empty ! and his betting book was not to be found. Beginning with November 14 \ Cook had shown symptoms of illness I and toward Monday night, the 19th was seized with convulsions, accom panied by stiffness of muscles and in ! tense agony, recurring at times until! hie death on Wednesday. His body at death was so bowed that when placed' on the back it rested on the head anc feet. This was the characteristic and terrible symptom of strychnine poison 1 Though other physicians attended Palmer, intimate as he was with Cook: was constantly at hand and adminis tered to him, among other things! coffee, broth and pills. After his tak ing each of these an attack of vomiting ensued, it was proved that on Monday and Tuesday, the days preceding! Cook's death, Palmer had made twe' purchases of strychnia pills; he hac given no reason at the time, nor was tip able to account for the pills. The trial lasted twelve days, filling! the minds of all England, and tiie jus lire of the verdict of "guilty" hat •104 01 been Impugned. GRIEVANCE |A DEAD MAF An Uncommon and Hair-Rais ing Adventure in a Lone, ly Farm House. A VERY LIVELY CORPSE Chopped His Wife and Her Lover in the Head With an Axe and Left Between Two Suns. The Poison With Which Slic Had Dosed lllin Did Not Have the De sired KlFeet Had a llloody Settle ment With the Guilty Couple Which Gratified Him. "Forty years or more ago," said a business man from a central Ohio town, "1 was a sprightly young adven turer of 25 years on my way from the State of New York to that point in the midst of the Buckeyes where I finally stopped and made a pretty fair success of myself. I was poor and was working my way along from place to place, without any particular ob ject in view except the remote one of reaching the Western Reserve, where 1 had friends, unless something better turned up on the way. I had got well along through western Pennsylvania, and haviug gathered in a few dollars extra at one small village I concluded I would move on to a larger and better one. fifty miles to the west, through a very sparsely populated and wild sec tion. "I started on my journey shortly after sun-up one day and made very good pro gress until 2 or 3 o'clock, when a storm arose and I took refuge in a house of logs and weatherboarding, more pre tentious than others 1 hud seen on the road, but its situation was lonelier than any I had been by that day, and 1 could see through the cloudy moon light that beyond the few acres of clearing it occupied it was practically in the midst of the woods. I knocked, and the door was opened promptly by a comely looking woman, who showed some signs of alarm at my appearance, though she opened the door so quickly that I almost thought she had been looking for me. She did not ask me to come in, but 1 told her I was lost and muddy and tired and hungry and sleepy, and begged her to accommo date me for the night. She said she was sorry hut she couldn't do it. I asked her how far it was to the next house, and when she told me it was three miles I told her she would have to take me in whether she could or not, because 1 was utterly tuckered out and couldn't walk a rod further. She hesitated a while, and finally said 1 could stay If I didn't have any objec tion to sleeping in a room with a corpse. I wasn't exactly looking for that sort of a roommate, and the prop osition startled me some, but I was tired enough to have slept in a morgue, and I told her it would be all right if she would brace me up with a bite of supper. "At last I opened my eyes wide and lay watching the figure on the table between me and the dim light on the mantel. While so engaged I saw a movement under the sheet, and before I had time to think of ghosts or real ize what was occurring the corpse pushed the sheet down in front of him and beckoned for me to come over. "Instantly the corpse sat up listen ing and I could see it was a well-built party, not much emaciated for a dead man. I thought, and on the whole, not bad looking. I listened, too, and could hear his wife and a man in the next room talking and finally, after a few minutes, they went into the far room from the other side of the main apartment in the centre of the house, where we could not even hear their voices. Then the man on the table turned his attention to me, having thrown aside the sheet and sat up. He was attired in his best clothes for the funeral, but was in his stocking feet, and asked me to get his boots out of the cupboard, which I did. He then went on to me, hurriedly and scarcely above a whisper, that he had heard me come in and knew I was a stranger and he wanted me to stand by him in case he needed assistance. He said that the woman was his wife and the man with her was a neighbor who wanted to marry her, and that they had connived together to poison him, the husband, so as to get him safely out of the way. The poison worked all right up to a certain point, but in the twenty-four hours that he had been 'laying out' it had lost its grip some way and he wasn't as dead as they thought he was. He wasn't feeling particularly strong and healthy just then, he said, but he thought he could have a settlement with the guilty couple that would be some gratification to him. "Having explained this much to me, he asked me to wait until he came back or should call for me, and, taking an axe that stood in the corner by the fireplace, he went out of the room. "What happened during the next ten minutes I do not know, but at the end of that time the man came back with out the axe, and. telling me that every thing was all right, asked me to join him in the main room while he gut something to eat and especially some thing to drink. He asked me to drink with him. which 1 did, and also asked me to hold open his carpet bag while he filled it with such things as he might need on a journey. He sug gested at the same time that It might perhaps be just as well if I asked no questions. "Sixteen months afterward I had reached Ohio then, the newspapers, not eo enterprising or numerous as they now are, contained a story of the find ing of two skeletons in a lonely house in a remote section of western Penn sylvania. and near them an axe with bloodstains on it. "I have often wondered why that man did not set the house on fire when we left it, and I can account for his not doing so on no other grount than that he did not want to makf mo u witness to any criminal act of hit partly for his own sake and partly foi mint. He was a gentlc-man, ano very considerate of my feelings, what ever he might have been or seemed to be to others."
