He say widely-s tered formation of Filipinos quick followed the guerrilla warfare, which led to a corresponding dissemination of American troops! there being 53 mili- tary stations in the archipelago Novem- ber 1. 1899, and 113 stations September 1, 1900.

WILL PAY FOR STRIKES. Austrian Wanufscturers Form an Assocla’ion. Large Fund {o be Collected. A number of Austrian manufacturers have formed an association for insur- ance against strikes, according to Unit- ed States Consul Hossfeld, at Trieste. It is the object of the association to in- demnify its several members for all losses sustained by them from unj strikes which may break out in their re- spective establishments. Each member is to pay a weekly premium equal to from three to four per cent. of the amount of his payroll. When a strike occurs a committee will be appointed to investigate all the circnmstances and if the cause of the strikers be found just no indemnity shall be paid. A similar insurance sociation, =ol- though on a smaller scale, is said to have been organized in Germany. “Both the Austrian and the German associa- ions, it appears,” sa onsul Hoss- feld, ‘recognize in principle the justness of strikes, which is, in Germany at least, an important concession to labor.” LYNCHERS SENTENCED. Louisiana Court Takes Firm Stand—Life Terms Meted Out. William Daniels and Ross Johnson have been convicted of murder at Lake Charles, La., and sentenced to the State penitentiary for life. The case is a re- markable one, since it marks the first instance in that State where would-be lynchers have been caught and convict- ed. On September 27 of this year at Lake Charles a negro was captured and lodged in jail for an attempted assault. At night a mob gathered and attempted to break into the prison. The sheriff's deputies resisted and during the melee one of their number was killed. Daniels and Johnson were convicted of doing the killing, CAPTURED AFTER A CHASE. A Montana Desperado Kills a Sheriff and Wounds Many Others. a running fight, deputy sheriffs were wounded. Sheriff Kellogg and a posse captured the desperado who robbed and probably fatally shot Frank Beaver near Logan, Mont., and then killed Sheriff Young and wounded four deputies who attempt- ed to arrest him at Springdale. Two miles west of Big Timber a deputy sher- iff che lenged a man who proved to be the fugitive. The latter immediately opened fire. Other deputies came up. and after a long chase, during which dozens of shots were fired, the desperado was finally surrounded and overpower- ed. None of the deputies wounded are fatally hurt. GRIEF CRAZED HIM. After three during which An fcwa Man Who Landed in Jail Fires it and is Cremated. At Lansing, Ia., the 12-year-old son of Chris Rud was run down by a freight train and has left leg severed below the knee. The father took the matter to heart so that he became irresponsible, assaulting an officer, who landed him in ail. Within 20 minutes the jail and City Hall building were discovered to be on fire, and the agonizing shrieks of the prisoner told that he had paid the penalty of his recklessness with his life. The building cost $12,000, and was totally destroyed. Rud leaves a large family in destitute circumstances. Swift Retribution. At Logan, Mingo county, W. Va., Adam McCoy was killed by his neigh.- bor, Albert Stinson, ting the crime, ende: Kentucky in a leaky John-boat. The craft sank in the swift tide of Tug river and Stinson was drowned. The two men made a wager on the result of the Kentucky election and each were claiming they won the bet when they came to blows.

At the first trial he was found guilty, but was given a new trial by the same judge. Cramblett has been in jail a year and he has had public nL in his favor all the time.

One man was killed, five others prob- ably fatally injured and twenty others more or less seriously injured in an ex- plosion of gas at the Buck Mountain Collie about two miles from Ma- honey y: Pa. As far as can be learned the explo- sion was apparently due to Edward Gallagher, a repairman at the colliery, going into an abandoned working with 1» naked lamp and igniting a body 1 gas which has accumulated.

Reports Say That Russia, France, Japan and the United States Are Allied Against Germany and England. The announcement from St. Peters- burg that Russia, France, Japan and the United States had formed an alliance to offset that of England and Germ: any has created a sensation in diplomatic circles at Washington. While the state department refuses to confirm the news there is no doubt that negotiations are in progress there, in St. Porras at Paris and at Tokio. There is also no doubt that the two adverse parties, Great Britain and Ger- many, on the one hand. and Russia and France on the other, are playing ‘or the support of the United States. America has become the balance of power for the settlement of the Chinese question. She has more power to- day in that matter than has any other coun- try, for to yaich side she leans that side will car ts point.

No world, no nation. no community, no man, no woman, can afford to exist only for itseli or him- self or herself. The hour in which Job has that soliloquy about the enlarcement of his prayers so as to take in his friends and he put info execution his good resolu- tion was the hour when he felt a tonie. a sedative, a nervine. a cataplasm, th: helped to enre his hody and revived his fortunes till they were a hundred per cent. baotter than ever ore, for the record is “the Tord ga Job twice as much as he had before,” and tended to make him a wonder of longevity, for he lived 140 years after his tronbles were gone.

First Eliph the Temanite opens with a long story about a dream which he had in the night and ir- ritates the sufferer with words that make things worse instead of better, and sets him in an attitude of defense against the lecturer. Then comes Bildad the Shuhite, who gives the invalid a round scolding and calls him garrulous and pragtieally tells him that he deserved all that he had got and that if he had behaved himself aright have lost his house or his children or his estate. He practically said: “Job, I will tell you what is the matter with you. You are bad. You are a hypocrite.

Ewell does the swearing; Stone- wall does the praying. When Stonewall wants us to march he looks at us soberly, just as if he were sorry for us, and says, ‘Men, we have got to make a long march.’ We always know when there is going to be a long march and right smart fighting, for Stonewall is powerful on prayer just before a big fight. Vhen Stonewall Jackson vas asked the meaning of the passage ‘‘instant in prayer,” he said: “If you will not mistake and think IT am set- ting myself up as an explo, which [ am not, I will give an illustration from my own habit. I have so fixed the habit of prayer in my mind that 1 unever raise a glass of water to my lips without a mo- ments asking of God’s blessing; 1 never seal a letter without a brief sending of my thoughts heavenward; I never change my classes in the on room without a minute’s petition for the cadets who go out and those who come in.

Every word in the Chinese language has a logical reason for its existence and peculiar formation, and each word consists of either one individual char- acter or a number of them combined in order to make a complete word. Take the word field. a square divided into sections or lots. When the word man is written by the word field the com- bination makes the word farmer, indi- cating the avocation of a man who is associated with fields and agriculture. Still more suggestive is the Chine word for truth, sincerity, faithfulnes honesty. It is formed by the combina- tion of a man and word, .thus expressing that one form of honesty consists in a man standing by his word. The word for box is indicated by a square having four sides of equal length, while a pris- oner is literally a man in a box, a fact which is often grewsomely illustrated in China, when a criminal is sentenced to death, and is carried to the place of execution in a square box.—Ladies Home Journal. ie 7 PENNSYLVANIA'S VOTE. | The Returns by Counties Show a Republican Plurality of 293.583.
