THEY SEVER SPEAK. The Most Austere Order of Nuns Now in Existence. Women Who Have Vowed n Life Si lence—An Incident Slmwln* the Relentless Severity of Their Penitential Itales. An article in the Wide Wide World Magazine tells of the stri«igest and most austere order of nuns in t he worid, who dwell far down in the southwestern corner of France, on the borders of Spain, and under the shadow of the Pyrenees. These are the Bernardines of Auglet, sisters of St. Bernard, the almost incredible severity of w hose rule mo*t resembles that of the famous Trappist monks. Indeed, they appear even more meritorfous when one re members that weak women cannot bear the same hardships or sufferings that men can. These devoted nuns abandon themselves to a life of solitude and take a vow of perpetual silence, which every one must allow is far more praiseworthy in a woman than in one of the sterner sex. The only occasion on which the nuns open tlieir lips to speak is when they join in the prayers. If it were not for this they would probably almost forget how to talk! Over their heads, and arranged so as almost to conceal their faces, they we.ir long black woolen hoods, which are rendered the more striking by the great white crosses that are affixed to the backs. Each nun wears rough wooden sabots, and round her neck a chain, to which is attached a large cross. There ia little of the appearance of the or dinary nun about their attire. It was the Abbe Cestac, a saintly priest of Bayonne, who founded the convent at Anglet in 1839. At lirst, ow ing to lack of funds, the nuns went through every sort of suffering, often having absolutely nothing to eat and no prospect of obtaining anything. However, by sheer pluck and hard work these courageous women overcame every difficulty, and now, although they BEKXARDIXE NUNS. (The Morning Procession to the Refectory.) are not rich, they can at least provide themselves with the necessaries of life. Their needs, after all, are very small. They fast constantly, and w hen they do eat, their food consists of vegetables, dry bread, and, three times a week, a little —a very little—meat. The refec tory is a long, narrow, whitewashed room with a thatched roof and no ar tificial flooring, merely the deep sand of the dunes, which, however, provides the most comfortable of carpets. Each nun has her earthenware pitcher of water and a little drawer in the rough deal table whefe she keeps her wooder spoon, fork and platter. On Fridays the Bernardines take their meals kneel ing on the sand. At the appointed hour they make their way in single file to the refectory. Every hour of the day is carefully mapped out, for the rules of the order insist that not a moment shall be wast ed. There are constant prayers 011 every occasion. Each time the big clock of the monastery chimes the hour every nun falls on her knees and spends a few moments in prayer. Out in the fields it is marvelous to see how we# the oxen know those chimes. Directly they hear them they stop instinctively, starting on their way again the instant the sis ters rise from their knees. The cemetery is as austere-looking iis the rest of the nunnery. The graves are the simplest little sandy mounds, huddled close together in the most pathetic way, with a rude cross traced in cockle-shells upon them. At the head of each is a little bush, while firs and gloomy cypress trees are dotted around. Here the nuns spend much of their time, praying for the souls of the dead, sometimes at the grave of the Abbe Cestac's father, a holy man who is buried here; and sometimes in the tiny thatched chapoi which they have erected. Perhaps the following story will il lustrate better than any mere descrip tion how minutely the penitential rulei of this extraordinary order are obeyed. Two Bernardines lived side? by side for live years in two adjoining cells, and so thin a partition divided them that they could even hear Ihe sound of each <j>tlier's breathing. All this time they ate at the same table and prayed in the same chapel. At last one of them died, and according to the rule of the order, the dead nun was laid in the chapel, her face uncovered, and the Bernardines filed past, throwing holy water upon the remains as they went. When it came to the turn of the next-door neighbor, no sooner did she catch sight of the dead nun's face than she gave a pierc ing shriek and fell back in a swoon. She bad just recognized her dearest friend in the worid, from whom she fad parted with the deepest pain many years before to enter the convent. For fve years the two fri#nds had lived side by side without ever having seen each other's face or heard tie sound of ono tinothcr's voice. MARTIN L. SWEET. Uc Was a for Yeara, Oat Nun Is Working for Ten Dol lars Per Week. Martin L. Sweet, a former mayor of Grand Kapids and ten years ago looked upon as one of the wealthiest men in western Michigan, now holds the po sition of garbage weigher at the city crematory at a salary of ten dollars a week. He still lives in a handsome old stone mansion on Fulton street, but the title and the prqperty are not in his name. He has some income from other sources, but the humble position he holds under the city government is bis main dependence. The duties of hii MARTIN Lu SWEET. (Once a Capitalist, Now Works for Ten Dollars a Week.) position demand his presence at the crematory early in the morning, and the sunrise usually finds him at his post, and in the discharge of his duties he is a model of fidelity. fclr. Sweet is now 80 years old. He born in New York state, and as a boy worked in his father's flouring mill. In 1842 he came to Michigan, built mills at Ann Arbor, Dexter and Delhi, and finally in IS4O he came to Grand Rapids, where he purchased a mill and engaged in business for himself manufacturing flour and buying and selling grain. He made money rapidly, invested in city real estate, engaged in lumbering, was interested in banking and had a model farm, which he stocked with Holstein cattle imported direct from the old country. He was active in promoting agricultural interests and was foremost In the affairs of the West Michigan and of the State Fair associations. He was ono of the organizers of what is now the old National bank, and ten years ago held SIOO,OOO stock in that institu tion and had been its president from the start. In 1860 he was elected mayor of the city, but it was his only partici pation in political affairs. What became of the substantial for tune which years of shrewd manage ment and hard work had accumulated cannot be explained even by Mr. Sweet himself. It is certain, however, that the good luck which had been his con stant attendant for half a century sud denly deserted him, and every venture he went into proved a new disaster, lie was the chief promoter of what was known as the Lowell & Hastings rail road, and lost money in it. He engaged In furniture manufacturing and it proved a failure. He was interested in various other enterprises and was in dorser for various relatives in business deals, and losses sustained fell upon him. The crash came about five years ago, and the bank and other preferred creditors took all the property he had left, and even this came far from satis fying the debts that were outstanding against him. RATHER UNFORTUNATE. A Chicago Street Incident Which Plainly Proves the Perversity of the Bicycle. Doubtless every person who rides a wheel has a very vivid and distinct recollection of the early struggles with the machine and how objects in the path seemed to exereise an uncontrollable SCREAMED FUR HELP.

I'robablv tlm saddest case of this kind lately recorded was, according to the Chicago Daily New«, that of a stout ludy who was practicing on Miehigar avenue last Friday afternoon. She was evidently a beginner and more than half afraid of the bicycle, and when in attempting to pass a sprinkling cart the wheel steered itself toward it she yielded to the bike and rode directly against the rear of the cart. Notwithstanding the fact that the sprinkling apparatus was in full play and that she was almost enveloped in the miniature fountain she held on and pedaled, meanwhile screaming loudly for help.

The United States steamer Albatrws, on her scientific trip to the South seas, will take along one or more anthropolo gists, who will make a special study of the queer and little known peoples which inhabit various groups in Poly nesia. A lirst landing will be made at Tahiti, in the Society islands, where, partly by reason of the extreme fertility of the soil, which furnishes a subsist ence without labor, the inhabitants are idle and dissolute. They flatten their noses, and bore a hole through the mid dle partition of that feature to accom modate ornaments of flowers or feath ers. Their ears are bored also, and the teeth of sharks and of human beings are inserted. Chiefs are distinguished by large circular markings in tattoo over the whole body, while common folks are tat toed only about the loins. Another queer custom requires all women, except those of the royal fam ily, to cut their hair off short. All over Polynesia the practice of in fanticide is quite general, but in Tahiti it is particularly prevalent, young chil dren being commonly strangled. Some mothers on the island are known to have done away with as many as ten of their children in this manner. I'igs, on the other hand, are greatly pam pered. They are stuffed like capons with bread-fruit dough, and are slaugh tered at festivals. Weapons made for midable by the attachment of sharks' teeth are used by the natives, while small instruments of a similar descrip tion have been customarily employed for torturing and cutting up prisoners of war. Prom the Society islands the expedi tion will goto the Tuamotu archipelago, where studies of the character already FIJI ISLAND CANNfBAI,. (How He Looks in Ilia full Dress Pura phernalta.) Indicated will be continued. So fa mous have the inhabitants of tlWs group always been as warriors that tlw chief tains of Tahiti formerly fetched nu merous mercenaries from there. Next the Albatross will sail for the Tonga or Friendly islands, far to the west, whose people were ferocious can nibals up to a century ago. On one island ol' the group the natives until re cently used for ornaments the iron nails brought by the famous Capt. Cook for trading purposes, one nail being reck oned as equal in value to a hen. One of the insignia of the king is a fly whisk. The early Tongans were the Phoeni cians of Southern Polynesia, being the greatest of savage navigators. The Fijians, whom Prof. Agassiz and his party will visit after leaving Tonga, are great catchers of marine turtles, whose skulls they hang up in their temple as offerings. They prize whales' teeth beyond everything, the chiefs wearing ponderous necklaces of them. In the department of state at Wash ington, by the way, is the tooth of a whale, which was sent to the United States as a treaty a number of years ago by a king of Fiji. The natives of Fiji nowadays practice cannibalism only occasionally and on the sly, but in former times they were habitual man-eaters. They ate pris oners of war as a matter of course, and certain weaker tribes on neighboring islands were compelled to supply a stated number of human victims period ically. Cannibalism was always a fea ture of every festival, long wooden forks being used at such grisly banquet* Rome of their customs are very curi ous indeed.

Aitnlnaltlo Tell* 111m Followers What <•€>»<] IVlliiun the S|niilard> arr and F.ilioru Tln-in to Flglit Americans, Manila, .luly Li.—A copy of the In depcndcncia has reached Manila con taining the speech which Aguinaldo made during the recent celebration at, I'arlac of the anniversary of Filipino independence. In substance it is as follows: "Filipina, beloved daughter of the ardent sun of the tropics, commended by providence to tile care of Spain, be not ungrateful her. Salute her who warmed you with the breath of her own culture and civilization. It is true she sought to crush thy aspira tion for independence as a loving mother opposes separation forever from the daughter of her bosom. This bul proves the excess of affection Spain feels for thee. "Filipina, delicate flower of the east, scarcely eight months weaned from the breast of thy mother, thou hast dared to brave a powerful nation such as the I'nited States after barely or ganizing and disciplining tln little army. Yet we reply we will be .slaves to none nor allow ourselves to be de ceived by soft words. Let us con tinue to defend our fatherland until independence is assured, for this is justice. "We shall see. at h»st that the great American nation will acknowledge the right which is on our side. That doe trine of the great Monroe —that America is for Americans is not for gotten. Just as we affirm that the Philippines are for the Filipinos. Some states of the American union have arisen in our favor. Especially is the democratic party convinced that both victors and vanquished will lose pre cious lives. Thus many of the people and many statesmen censure President MeKinley as inhuman for having or dered his military representatives at Manila to seek means to bring about, hostilities with the Filipinos, These facts prove that they wish to try its to see if we are able to live up to the second color of our banner, red. which signifies courage, heroism and martyr dom. Therefore we should not resent this struggle with the Americans. In spite of their expressed desire to dom inate all the Philippines, well con vinced are they that we fight with jus tice and right on our side and that autonomy is all a show of deceit, onlv serving to save certain accumulated wealth. "We have never concealed that we aspire but to independence, that we will struggle 011 to obtain it, perhaps from those who are now our enemies and to-morrow will be our allies, as they were for the overthrow of the lower of Spain. We might well accept this autonomy, but what can we do with it if our ambit ion is independence and if we are to accept it only to later overthrow by force of arms the sov ereignty of Vmeriea? As I believe it is the intention of the autonomists to make use of treachery and deceit, we cannot accept such a procedure. "Let us avoid the example of those natives who, having at one time been colonists, accepted autoijpinj to en able them to make their work surer once everything" was prepared. His tory has given us an example of this in recent events. Let us persist in our idea which is only the legitimate aspiration of a people which is desirous at all cost to preserve its national honor spotless and pure as a crystal. Thus, then, tliere will not be a single Filipino autonomist. Those who are so are in the eyes of the peo ple but time servers, fearful of losing their riches, threatened by risks ol war. "Filipinos, let us be constant. Lei s strengthen the bonds of our union.'

The ves sels were sighted early in the after noon and soon the shrieking of steam whistles, the clanging of bells and the firing of cannon announced that the first batch of returning volunteers from Manila were Hearing the shore of California. Within a few minutes the streets were thronged with people wending their way to the docks and to the heights overlooking the bay, in tent upon catching a glimpse of th* transports as they steamed up the har bor under the escort of a score of ves sels which had bean made ready for the arrival of the steamers. The roofs of the warehouses wer» crowded with people and from scores of flagpoles streamed the stars and stripes. Steamers, tugs, yachts and even small row boats were soon mak ing their way toward the (iolden (late.

A BANK MLR He Appears to Have Taken a Big Piece of Money. HE'S IN JAIL AND SORRY. But that Does Not Bring: Hack §125,000 That's Missing. A PANIC AT PERTH AMBOY.

Val entine. cashier ofthe Middlesex County bank, of I'erth Amboy,X. J.,which was closed Friday, has surrendered himself and is in jail 011 :i charge of embezzle ment. The affair caused dismay among' the business men of Perth Am boy, where the Middlesex County bank was considered us strong' as the hills. So panic-stricken did the residents of Perth Amboy become that crowds sur rounded the Perth Amboy Savings In stitution. What made the run on the saving's bank appear all the more serious was the fact that the officers of the Middlesex County bank and the officers of the Perth Amboy Savings in stitution are identical, the business of both banks being transacted over the same counters. Though it became necessary to cull for the aid of the police for the pur pose of maintaining order, U. 15. Watson, the president of both banks, says that the funds of the Perth Am boy Savings institution were not touched, that the $:i00,000 deposited to the account of the savings bank is safe and that no matter how badly the Middlesex County bank has been Vvrccked, the savings bank will be able to meet all demands upon it by the depositors. These words of as surance from the officers of the sav ings institution had the effect of checking the run on this bank. On Monday last Cashier Valentine evidently concluded that he could 110 longer conceal the shortage at the Middlesex County bank. On that morn ing he telephoned President Watson that he was detained, but that he would appear at noon. The bunk hud then opened for businesw and Mr. Wat son, who was taking the absent cash ier's place, discovered that there should have been $7,900 in bills on band to commence operations that morning. These he could not find in the vault. Mr. Watson had been st arching' for it when Valentine called up. lie asked Valentine where this money was and was told that it had been placed in the cashier's private drawer. Mr. Watson remarked that was no place for iff but rang' )ff on the telephone am* went to get it. A duplicate key to the drawer was ob tained and the drawer opened, but no money could be found. Robert X. Valentin?, the cashier's father, was summoned and aided in the search for the missing money. It could not be found and finally the work of checking begun. Then it soon became evident that during the last few months the accounts of the bank bad been juggled. The other trus tees were summoned and the banking department was notified to send an examiner. Deputy Commissioner of Hanking Johnson appeared. On Wed nesday Mrs Valentine, the wife of the cashier, returned from Ocean Grove and called at the bank and wanted to know where her husband was. This was the first intimation she had that, he was not on duty and showed the officials that Valentine was not at the sea shore, as at first appeared. On Monday the Park national bank, of New York, charged the Middlesex bank with checks to the amount of $4,000, which are said to have been drawn on it against the account of the Middlesex bank by Valentine. A detailed investigation of matters by President Watson and liobert, „\. Valentine showed that the cashier's cheeks and stubs diil not correspond; that the cheeks called for more money than the stubs recorded, and that while taking the stub as the basis of account ing' the bank's finances would figure out all right, the cheeks would show that the bank had been drawing heav ily 011 its New York correspondent, the Park national bank. The cashier in fact carried the accounts on the stubs, and from them to the books correctly, but when the returns from the cash ier's checks came he pocketed the dif ference between the stub and the check. Four or five months of this method of financiering depleted the bank's reserve and brought it to tin verge of ruin. Then the cashier evi dently secured a portion of the ready cash on hand and left Perth Amboy. Thursday night the determination to close the bank was reached and Mr. Watson notified Chief of Police IJurke and asked him to locate the missing cashier. Valentine, who had been in New York City, returned to Perth Amboy from Woodbridge, ac companied by his counsel, lvlward Savage. He declined togo into de tails about the shortage of the bank, except to say that he was very sorry that he had got his friends into trouble, and that he felt very had about his wife and children. President Watson is of the opinion that the cashier's defalcation will amount to at least $125,000. Where the money went to is not known, as the cashier is said to have been mod erate in his tastes and habits of life. The Middlesex county bank was operated under a state charter and hail been in operation many years. Cashier Valentine was for years a clerk in the Park national bunk, of New York. In IK9H lie was made cashier of the Middlesex County bank. His bond was fixed at $50,000. His relatives are wealthy, and if is said they will endeavor to make yood the shortage. 3
