AGUINALDO’S CHARACTER
. ■
"'ij^jmh-es the Man Who Succsc-du in
Capturing Him,
--
The following is a news telegram
from Tamaqua, Pennsylvania, rela
■ tive to the character of Agninaldo:
“Do 1 know Agninaldo? You bet
I do. I didn’t keep guard over
him-for months in Gen. Otis’ palace
in Manila for nothing” said Claud
Hadesty, a soldier who lias recent
ly returned from service in fhe
Phillippines to Tamaqua, his native
town.
“The first time I saw him, six
. weeks after his capture, he made
me think of a panther, quick, sup
ple and treacherous to the limit. A
panther wont fight when the odds
are even. Neither will Against’.do.
A panther creeps up at night or

tree. These are Aguinaldo’s tee
tics. He’d cry ‘Mucha amig' ’
you all day and stab you!:. :c
back at night. He’d cut his best
friend's throat if he stood in his
way. But sm?.rt? Whew! He’s
the foviest man I ever saw.
“They watch him like a hawk,
for he’d give them the slip Y a
minute if he got the chance. You
know you cau’t trust him, ami yet
you cau’t help liking lain some
way, i or he is good company when
he is in the mood.
“Ihi has the greatest admiration
i:* Uow3 who guarded him, always
picking out che quiet ones.
“He was a great chap to ask
questions about the United States,
He wants to know all abort the
railroads, the school system and
the government.
“He thinks when things are
settled in the islands he will be
given some nice f it political job.
Be has no other thought than that
this is waiting for him in the future.
Maybe it is, but whou they give it
to hina the government had better
continue to keep the boys doing
g if” 1 duty over him if they want
to k p him out of mischief.”

George Cummins Writes Letter to a
Marmaduke Friend,
Manila, P. I. Jan. 25, 1902.
Mr. George Kirby,
Marmaduke, Ark.
My ©Id time Friend: You will
be very much surprised if you ever
get this letter, not having heard
from me for so many years, but I
am still very much alive yet, and
since I last saw you I have been
nearly all over the world. I have
been in the U. S. A. for seven
years, now. I was stationed at
Fort Leavenworth Kansas four
years and went to Cuba in April
'98; was in all the battles that took
place in and around Santiago, came
out without a scratch, returned to
the states in the fall of ’98 and was
again at Leavenworth for some
time, went from there to St. Louis,

George, I suppose all your fam

ter and Onzie are big men. It does
not seem like it has beeu ten years
since I was there, and we used to
haul lumber for Garner & Co., and
build rail roads for Koseugraut.
My time will be out in one more
year and I am going home, and
want to stop and see you ou my
way back for it will be right on my
road.
I do not know whether this will
ever reach you or uot, but if it
does i want you to please write to
me, and tell me what is going ou
^here now days. I wrote to Mort
Brookbanks six months ago, but
my letter came back to me. lias

Mrs. Alice T. Coffey of Omaha Claims
Nelson the Bigamist.
Mrs. Alice T. Coffey, Omaha, Ne
braska, yesterday identified a photo
graph of Charles T. MeKown, alias
Nelson, under arrest at St. Joseph,
Mo., on the charge of bigamy, as that
of the man to whom she was mar
ried last January. The couple were
married in that city, and went to a
local hotel. The following morning
they returned to the bride’s home.
During the day, she says, the man
picked up her gold watch and chain
aud several other valuable articles
of jewelry and “went downtown to
arrange some business affairs,” He
never returned. Mrs. Coffey says
MeKown represented himself to be
an actor and playrigbt, and a man of
wealth.
Something Doing.
There is always something doing
in Kansas. When the cyclone goes
to s'eep and no longer scatters
things about, a simoon of Popu
lism‘is sure to spring up and euter
actively into business. When this
exhausts itself, we hear of a drouth,
and when the generous rains come
to relieve the thirsty earth und we
begin to hope that the climacteric
is passed, myriads of grasshoppers
come to devour all verdure. When
the grasshoppers fold their tents
like Arabs, and silently steal away,
we have Sister Diggs and Sister
Lease in eruption, and when these
volcanoes cease filling the air with
lire and lava, comes Sister Carrie
Nation with her hatchet, followed
by an army of long-haired men and
shoit Laird women, intent upon
smashing saloons, says the Mem
phis Commercial Appeal, j
The world had come to believe
that the Carrie Nation hysteria had
permanently subsided. Sister Car
rie attracted a great deal of atten
The total wages paid by the boot
and shoe manufacturers in 1900
were H 59,175,833, and the total pro
duce $201,038,580. The wages were
22 per cent of the product. “The
tariff,” says the Louisville Couaier
Journal, “which is aid intended
to offset the difference of wages
hero and abroad, is more than
sufficient to cover the total wages
paid. In this particular industry
the ta ;iff is not of much importance,
but the rate shows, as is shown by
the rates on many other articles,
that the pretense that it is simply
to cover higher wages is entirely
fa’so and hypocritical. Betwen 1890
and 1900, while capital and product
were increasing, the wages paid
show a positive decrease and a still
larger relative decrease.”
