Jikiri' Outlaws Wiped Out Only
After Desperate Hand-to-Hand
Fighting
COMBATS IN EXTINCT VOLCANO
t: jght Saftty In Cave Driven Out by
the American Fire, Jikirl Tries to
behead Lieut. Wilson, but Is Shot
Down.
Manila, Philippine Inlands. While
uotailed accounts of the last light of
Jikiri, the Moro out'.aw chieftain who
was killed and his band exterminated
In a pitched battle near Patian, on
the Island of Jolo, have not been re
ceived, several brief dispatches and
a letter or two from American officers
who fought against the outlaw give a
fairly complete story of the fight.
Hunted from place to place by the
regulars and constabulary, who had
been in close pursuit, Jikiri, with sev
en followers, two women and one
child, took refuge in a cave that
pierced the side of the crater of an
extinct volcano. Here the outlaws
gathered to make their last stand. As
the soldiers came up the scouts lo
cated the party, and the troops work
ed their way around the place until
it was entirely surrounded, and there
was no chance of escape.
Capt. George L. Ryram of the Sixth
Cavalry, who commanded the attack
lug force, then ordered a white flag
displayed, and through his Interpret
er called upon Jikiri to surrender. The
outlaw refused and also declined to
accept a safe conduct for the women
of his party, who remained with the
band and bore their share of the fight
ing. Capt. Byram ordered up the guns
and a terrific shell fire was opened
on the cave. The missiles broke
above and around the opening, but
the ledge protected those inside from
the fire of the guns, and little damage
was inflicted.
Storming parties worked their way
up the steep slope, and finding footing
on the ledge endeavored to rush the
larger entrance to the cave. The
fighting for a few minutes was deper
ate, but the outlaws drove their as
sailants back by a savage spear
charge. The soldiers were not to be
T.pletely routed, however, and, tak
;ip their posts at the end of the
Xa. poured a terrible rifle fire into
' s mouth of the cave, the bullets
Being from the rock walls and
.owing showers of Bharp splinters
k. rock among the besieged.
Jikiri himself signaled out Lieut
Arthur H. Wilson of the Sixth Cavalry,
who commanded one section of the
attacking party. Dashing from the
cave the outlaw flung himself upon
the American before Wilson could
raise his pistol. With one hand grip
ping the officer's hair the bandit slash
ed at his neck with the heavy native
knife he carried, endeavoring to be
head him.
Lieut Joseph A. Baer of the Sixth
Cavalry, saw his comrade's peril and
dashed to his aid. As jikiri swung
back the knife to strike again, Baer
shot him dead and Wilson dropped to
the ground. It is feared that Wilson
will be incapacitated from further
service in the army, as the muscles
and cords of his neck were severed by
the bandit's knife.
Writing of the fight, American offi
cers say that In the desperate hand-to-hand
encounter on the narrow ledge
some of the assailants may have been
wounded by their own lire. In their
anxiety to save each other they were
forced to shoot quickly, using high
power rifles at close range, which
were doubly dangerous, as the bullets
will ploy through several men.
Hundreds of friendly Moros saw
the fight at close range. They perched
among the rocks where they could
see the ledge, and not a movement of
the combatants escaped their eyes.
Many of them believed that Jiriki bore
a charmed skin, impervloua to knife
and bullet. They could not be con
vinced that he was dead until they
saw and felt his body.
MADE BUSINESS OF MURDER.
Indian Implicates a Band that In
cludes a Mexican Ex-Judge.
BS Paso, Tex. An Indian under ar
rest ai Torreon confessed that he and
several others, including an ex-judge
of one of the Mexican inferior courts,
belonged to a band which made a
business of murder and highway rob
bery. Among their victims were three
mail carriers, murdered and robbed
at different times in the last few
months. The crime for which be was
arrested was the murder of three men,
one of them a mail-carrier on tbe Du
rango trail. Immediately after tbe
Indian's confession, a strong force of
rurales left for the scene and cap
tured the entire gang, also recoTering
much of their plunder. All tbe gang
are In Jail at Torreon.

of prodigious Jumps made by kan
garoos when pursued. It Is neaijly two
feet above Harry Porter's great re

Porter had the advantage of having
but two legs to get over the bar.
Heatherbloom was called the "Super-horse."
He was about fifteen
years old and was sired by the thor
oughbred stallion Philosophy, by
Longfellow. He was a brown gelding
with a white stripe down his face,
with the right fore ankle white and
the two hind legs white to the ankle.
II-? stood 16 hands 2 inches high, or
0 fvet 6 inches. It will be seen from
the.-"1 measurements that when he

three feet over his own height.

Proper Use of Cosmetics, All Pict

es of Rouge for Checks ar.d Uar
Lobes Whitening Lotion lor Necli
and Shoulders Hair Treaiasnl.
The use of cosmetics, so ions an
acknowledgedly important part of Eu
ropean woman's toilet, ha. always
j been strongly disapproved of In Ameri
ca.
Public opinion Is, however, undergo
ing a gradual change in this respect,
probably brought about iu part by 'he
general harmlessness of the articles
used.
In the past much was heard of the
poisoning of actors and adiest-es (for
many years the only large consumers)
by white lead, which wus a principal
Ingredient of paints used on stage.
Nowadays all paints, powders and
halrdyes that are bought from a re
liable source, are as carefully and
healthily compounded us prescriptions
ordered by a physician.
As a matter of fact pure face paint
Is not injurious wheu properly remov
ed. Any one who has a large number
of acquaintances among theatrical
people will tell you that as a rule
their skins look as smooth and line in
private life as when seen cn the stage.
This is largely due to the fact that
professionals have learned to remove
all the makeup carefully with a good
cream before retiring, and to take ns
much care of their face as they do
of their clothes. Also to the fact that
cosmetics are more carefully prepared
than formerly.
Now that the use of rouge has come
so decidedly into fashion It may ba
helpful to explain tiie pro;.tr li.u.iu.l
of using It.
In the good old dr.ys of shaded can
dles and even In the more recent o;.-.-.
when gas was used, ou! a Lwriy g.,od
complexion passed united very wel.
by artificial light But under the u;i
compromisiugly truthful electric
globes, one must be a beaa'y to !i.:
only fairly well, for this panic ...r
form of illumination c-nsts a !'.(;:. .1
tinge over all skins. To g.:.u J -..., ti-.t
this unbecoming eh'e- t a to;un u;
rouge will be most saliilacio.y.
We are passlny through or.e ul
those periods in the history of fashiou.
that deuiauds that we all look pic
turesque and "if we can't look pic
turesque we must look as picturesque
as we can."
Now for a few directions as to the
best method of making up the face.
The color can be little deeper in the
center of the cheeks and then should
be blended off lightly all over the
cheeks. The tip of the chin should al
ways be tinted as well. After you
have done this you will observe that
this gives a natural appearance, and
does not look blotchy or "painted." If
the ears look very white by contrast,
tint the outside edges and the lobe
very delicately. This detail is one
whose neglect has been the cause of
many failures.
The lips, ii pale, should be reddened
also and don't make the mistake a
person I know did, of putting nail
salve on them, and thus removing all
the skin. After you have finished
with the rouge, powder the entire face.
Rouge must be very sparingly used
and so thin a coat applied that what
natural color you have will have an
Opportunity to show through. Noth
ing adds so much to a face as play of
coior, and the changing dimple.
Some dermatologists offer to make
a permanent dimple, but it Is most
emphatically to be avoided, for iu un
certainty is its greatest charm.
A whitening lotion for the neck and
shoulders is more lasting than dry
powder for use in the evening when a
decollete gown is worn. It Is much
more satisfactory than powder as it
does not rub off.
A girl of piquant type of beauty may
dare to put a tiny bit of black court
plaster at one side of the chin or on
the cheek near the eye. but not the
fair, placid lady for It would look most
Incongruous.
Whatever is put on the face during
the waking hours, must be removed
before retiring, and then no 111 effects
can possibly follow. This is best done
with cleansing cream, which frees the
pores from all foreign substances.
t A Simple Hair Treatment.
A woman o. sixty-five years, who
bas a head of hair few girls could
boast. Bays the secret of It is ber con
stant brushing.
She has ber bead shampooed much
less frequently than is the present
fashion, but preserves a clean Bcalp
by both wet and dry brushing. Twice
a week she dips the brush In water
and works all over the scalp with it,
following it up by a dry brush.
Once in ten days or two weeks she
subtltutes wltchhazel for water, Tbe
alcohol in it acts as a cleaner and
cuts the oil in the hair,
Tbe only other treatment she be
lieves in is singeing the ends of tbe
hair every six weeks. She does this
herself by dividing the bair into tighly
twisted strands, while she goes over
w1-h a long wax taper used in a gas
lighter
To Whiten the Hands.
Whenever you bathe your bands
dry them very thoroughly. Before
retiring spread this paste all over tbe
hands and draw on a pair of loose,
white cotton gloves, leave on over
night and bathe in tbe morning with
warm water, then rinse off with cold.
Tight corsets will make tbe bands
red, so if you are In tbe bablt of lac
ing yon must loosen your stays before
you can expect to have white hands.

Hints to House'ieepf n.
Very strong tea will stop the bidd
ing from a cut.
Equal parts of milk and lukcvaa:
water is a good solution for span-jir.;-.
plants.
Spoons are sometimes used with
firm puddings, but forks are the Let
ter style.
A little vinegar in polish will I
found to obviate the dead, oily -ode
so often noticed after cleaning fr.nj
ture. Kor large shoes which slip at the
heel glue a shaped piece of velvet to
the inside, bottom and side of tla;
heel, and it will cling to the1 stock
ing. To prevent a lamp from smoking
soak a new lamp wick two or three
hours In vinegar. Dry well be'ore
using. If you follow this recipe your
trouble with your lamps will cease.
Lamp wicks in lanterns or carriage
lamps that are not in daily use should
be treated in this way.
Too much salt in gravy may be
counteracted by putting a pinch of
orown sugar iu it.
After using a bowl of cold water
starch. It should be allowed to settle.
Then pour off the water and dry the
starch in the oven at night or on
the stove. It will be reduced to a
cake and can be powdered and be
used over again.
Never throw away old gloves, par
ticularly old white gloves. They are
most useful in protecting the hands
while dusting, sweeping or wishing
dishes. As' women often complain
that they feel clumsy In doing tholr
work with gloves on, by simply cr-t-ting
away the finger tips this senna
sntion Is overcome.
Tinware may be brightened and
cleaused from smoke by rubbing with
a hot solution of common baking 6od:i
and water.
To color white cotton yellow, use
green peach leaves and alum wall
lUe-jed. together in water.

A comparatively new species of
beetle, which infests the potato
vines and stalks with the larvae,
and is known as the borer, has de
stroyed almost the entire potato
crop in Northumberland county.
The discovery of this destroyer of
the potato crop is attributed to J.
H. Klase, a scientific farmer, who
resides at Snydertown. This well
known farmer states that he plant
ed a half acre of early potatoes. All
died from the destroying effects of
the beetle, which bored into the
stalk and deposited its larvae in tbe
stem.
