Funston and the Filipinos.
Tho position taken by Brigadier
Oencral Funston, that intrepid fighter,
upon the policy which should be pur
sued toward the Filipinos is in some re
spects so closely in accord with what
has been advocated by this paper that
we reprint it herewith. A correspond
ent of the New York Timet reports from
San Francisco that Rounseville Wild
man, consul at Hong Kong, during a
yisit to Manila interviewed Brigadier
General Funston, of tho Twentieth
Kansas. General Funston is reported
as speaking as follows referring to the
subjugation of the Filipinos:
I believe that there should be a little
less gunpowder and more diplomacy.
Filipinos are no doubt impressed by the
former in a manor they will remember.
I think that we should consider them as
children, and treat with them according
ly—grant them some concessions which
are seemingly of great importance to
them, give them some assurance and
actual demonstration of our good will
and friendship for them and their
welfare; win them into our confidence.
It can be done, and in such away that
never again will there be rebellion
against us in the islands.
1 believo the backbone of this insur
rection is broken; in fact, we have
given tho insurgents such a sound
whipping that with any other people
tho trouble would bo ended. If the
Filipinos do not give up by tho end of
the rainy season, 1 am in favor of the
government bringing 100,000 men here
and making short work of ending any
further resistance; though I believe a
little diplomacy at this time would go a
long way toward settling the trouble
and bringing peace and consequent
prosperity to the.se unfortunate islands.
Strange as it may seem, I am almost
a "peace at any price" man. When life
and property can be saved, it Is almost
a crime not to follow that rule, what
ever the circumstances be arguing
against it. I am a Republican, but I
am an anti-expansionist, though not a
bitter one. Big syndicates and capital
ists will be greatly benefitted by the
retention of these islands, but outside
a few exceptional individual cases I can
see no advantage in their possession by
the United States. The islands are so
thickly populated and labor so cheap,
there certainly is no inducement for the j
American laborer.
Genoral Funston plainly intimates
that he thinks life and property can be
saved without further resort to war and
by granting "some concessions which
are seemingly great to them" (the Fili
pinos), and by giving "them some as
surance and actual demonstration of
our good will and friendship." Then
why not try this plan before determin
ing upon a continuance of the war? It
is very encouraging to find one in General
Funston's position giving a strong in
dorsement to this view.
Decision* on .Sunday Laws.
Judgo Wilson, of Beaver county, lias
taken the broad view that legislative
acts bearing against Sunday Indulgence
in pleasures which do not interfere with
the liberties or annoy the persons of
others are unconstitutional. Tho case
in point was the arrest of parties who
were guilty of Sunday fishing. He dis
missed the offenders on tho ground
that the law under which they were
held is void.
However, about the same time, In the
adjoining county of Lawrence a similar
case was tried before Judge Wallace
and the fishermen were convicted and
fined. A supreme court decision will
consequently be necessary to settle the
question.
Whether or not the fact Is pleasing
to those who believo in a strict observ
ance of the laws of 1794, there Is no
denying the claim that the Sunday laws
are more or less disregarded in every
community. There is no section of the
state and but very, very few people who
do not in some manner violate both
letter and spirit of the exacting "blue
laws."
This, it is alleged, is because tho
sentiment of the people lias changed
materially sinco the days when it was
anybody's right to compell his neighbor
to view life and its pleasures in the nar
row manner of a hundred years ago.
Sunday observance lias been always a
matter of public sentiment and custom.
OUR CAPITAL LETTER.
REPUBLICANS ARE SPREADING FALSE
TALES IN WASHINGTON.
Storlefl That Bryan IM Looking Popularity
In the Went Are Not True—Lenta for
Vice I'renhlenfc—fflgnlflcent Statement
from M. L. Lock wood.
Washington, D. C., July 28, 1899.
So tunny more or less prominent
Republicans have come to Washington
of late with substantially the same
story about Colonel Bryan's loss of
popularity in tho West, that It Is prac
tically certain that these mon are work
ing in concert, trying to prevent Colonel
Bryan being renominated for president,
by tho Democrats. Whether they are
doing this under instructions from the
Republican leaders, who are known to
fear Colonel Bryan's candidacy, or in
the interests of the handfull of Eastern
Democrats, who, although they cannot <
plodgo a single oloctoral vote, are also
trying to prevent Colonel Bryan's nomi- j
nation, is not entirely clear, but that
they are spreading the story with a j
purpose is as clear as anything can be— j
as clear as the falsity of the story, for j
instance.
X t X
Representative Lentz, of Olilo, Is in j
Washington upon Important legal busl- |
ness. He no longer regards himself as
a candidate for tho Democratic guber
natorial nomination, but frankly says 1
he would like to have tho second place
on the Bryan ticket, and adds that he
has roceived encouragement enough to
cause him to believe that he will receive
the nomination for vice president.
X X t
Ex-Senator Dobois says that If the
Republican platform comes out squarely
for the single gold standard, as now
seems likely, it will eloct Bryan by Re
publican votes; that he knows of thous
ands who voted the Republican ticket
In '96, solely because of the promise to
bring about a wider use for silver, who
will under no circumstances vote a gold
standard ticket. Mr. Dubois says he
regards it as certain that the Republi
can platform will contain as strong an
anti-trust plank as the Democratic
platform, but thinks the individual
voter should have no doubt as to which
party will really combat the trusts.
Mr. Dubois also says that he Is certain
the tickets will be headed next year, by
Bryan and McKinley, as In '9O.
t i t
M. L. Lock wood, of Pennsylvania,
president of the American Anti-Trust
League, which although a non-partisan
organization, proposes to take an im
portant part in the presidential cam
paign, is a strong Bryan Democrat,
and he says of the sentiment of Penn
sylvania Democrats: "I am in touch
with the true Democrats of Pennsyl
vania, and it Is safe to say that 95 per
cent of them are loyal to Bryan, and
the principles of the Chicago platform.
The real democracy of the state and of
all the other states must be on tho alert,
for If tho tricksters get one vote more
than one-third of all the members
of the national convention, they will
accomplish their end, which Is the de
foat of Bryan. The monopolistic and
trust interests will bend all their ener
gies to defeat his nomination because
they recognize that no human power
can prevent his victory at the polls, if
he be again declared the nominee of the
Democratic party."
t t t
Unless Elthu Hoot, ot Now York,
can persuade Mr. McKinley to stiake up
the war department cliquo and to p;ivo
General Miles tho say that properly
belongs to him as commanding general
ot the army, in all strictly military
matters, ho will llvo to regret the day
he so eagerly accepted the war portfolio
to perforin duties properly belonging to
tho attorney general, aftor two members
of the cabinet, fully conversant with the.
situation, had declined to do so, and to
stand before tho country as a figure
head responsible for the conduct of the
department.

WONDERS OF ELECTROIQ
New Suhstanco That Makes Blunts
Grow Visibly Discovered.
Francis ltychuowskl, a mechanical
engineer of Lemburg, Austria, has dis
covered a strange and very subtle mat
ter, which be has called "electrold," be
cause of certain atliulty with elec
tricity. Electrold, produced by a
special apparatus built by the Inven
tor, is obtained by the dissolution of
certain mutters under the Influence of
the olcctlrle current. It makes noise
and at the same time a refreshing
scent and cool breeze are experienced.
This discovery Induced Mr. Rych
nowskl to make a machine cupable of
refreshing the dir to such a degree
that I hose present during the ex|a>rl
meut had the feeling that the window
was open, although this was not the
ease.
Electrold is a very subtle matter, but
It seems to be a fluid, and It cun be
gathered and preserved, while falling
on a plate IV reflects In a shape of
shining sheaves. \
The commission appointed by the
Austrian Government to Investigate
this discovery reported that under the
Influence of cleetroid, plants grow
rapidly and the buds of flowers un
close while one Is looking at them.
Electrold annihilates microbes and
thus preserves organic matter. These
are physiological influences of elec-
I rold.
Among mechanical phenomena tlie
ooimiii.sslon reported that the
of electrold is not stopped even ltv a
brick wall and gluss; that it attracts
solid bodies and makes them shine like
moonlight—it makes thorn move anil
attract other bodies; finally, that It
acts on photographic plates and pro
duees sharp and distinct lines, such
as were formerly possible only with a
very powerful lens.
Spiirgcon Helped By an Kcho
No orator ever less needed the aids
of art than the great. London preacher,
Charles H. Spurgeon, and none ever
used them less; but when nature
helped him, not only In himself, but
outside of himself, lie welcomed the
effect, as lie bad a right to do. One
striking Instance of n sermon rein
forced In tills way is related by a
clergyman of the Church of England,
the Rev. I>. A. Dotlduey.
Mr. Spurgeon was holding out-door
meetings in the county of Hants (op
posite the Isle of Wight), nnd one af
ternoon lie preached to a great throng
of people In a beautiful valley near the
market town of Ilnvant.
His text was from the ftfty-flrst
Psalm. "Then will I teach traugressors
Thy ways," and the sermon was a
Gospel invitation . The air was still,
and a cloudless sun Was sinking as he
approached the end of Ills discourse,
while the attentive hearers caught
every word.
Apparently tliey had not noticed, car
ried along as they were by the sweep
of his powerful voice, that the valley
was the home of echoes. Mr. Spurgeon
had discovered the fact At the close
of his lost appeal, raising Ids voice, lie
called to the congregation; "All things
are ready! Come! 'The Spirit and the
bride say eoine!' and nature herself ac
cents the heavenly imitation again and
again. Come! Come! Come!"
The echoes took up the word, and
from side to side the breathless assem
bly heard the repeated call. "Coute!
Come! Come!" till it sank to a whisper
in the distance.
The uarrntor describes the effect ns
"like nn electric shock." It was as If
the preacher's eloquent peroration had
awakened supernal voices.
We have no written record of the
fruits of the meeting, but there was a
solemnity In the aptness of Its close
that lifted tt above mere dramatic arti
fice or any of the devices employed to
trick.
Her Sweet Revenge
Revenge Is sweet, and a complete
triumph over the foe Is a most satisfac
tory feeling. So there must be otic
young lady 111 London who Is perfectly
happy. She happened, In going from
Kensington eastward, to step Into one
of those private 'buses which are par
ticularly rife at holtday times. On ten
dering her customary twopence, she
was Informed that there were no fures
under sixpence, and. as dhl two other
victims, who were her only fellow pas
sengers, she paid. The day was dirty,
the rain falling and walking most un
pleasant .so the vehicle was stopping
many times to allow of would-be pas
sengers to enter, hut to each and all
the young lady, who was cozlly en
seonsed at an end seat, said in dulcet
tones: "Excuse me, hut are you aware
that this Is a private 'bus?" Every
one of the people thanked her and
stepped down. At Hyde Park there
were quite a crowd walling to get a
lift. As they hoarded the 'bus, how
ever. they were mot with tho silvery
notes warning them of their danger
nnd the nature of the vehicle In which
they proposed to travel. The result
was that the 'lms remained empty,
save for Its original passengers, till
Chancery lane was reached, where the
young lady alighted, and as she nodded
the conductor "Good morning" sho
seemed very well pleased with herself.

Phosphorous
Ordinary phosphorus is highly pois
onous. is inflammable at a temperature
far below that of boiling water and at
tho ordinary temperature of a room If
exposed to the slightest friction, and
gives off poisonous fumes at ordinary
temperatures when In contact with air
containing any moisture. Red phos
phorus Is not poisonous oven In large
quantities, and gives off no fumes In
ordinary conditions. It is used In the
manufacture of matches that strike
only on the box. The ordinary phos
phorus occupies a large place in match
manufacture which the red variety
cannot 1111. How large that place Is
may be judged from the fact that
some sixty tons of white phosphorus
nre annually used In making matches,
while tlie consumption of red phos
phorus ts only four tons.
Arc lamps are preferable to the In
candescent burners In electric Illumin
ation for certain crowded rooms nnd
damp, tll-smelllng basements and cel
lars, according to an authority in hy
giene. The arc lamp has a strong de
odorlzlDg action, either by virtue of
the light, the ozone or the cmtfiplon of
vapors. In many cases It bus been
found that the lighting of an arc lamp
In au offensive basement soon dissi
pates the objectionable odors.
ELECTRIC VEHICLES.
THE IDEALPOWER FOR AUTOMOBILES
IS ELECTRICITY.
New Ideas Being Worked Out (XM
stuutly and Weight, of Storage Bat
teries Being Reduced—lts IteHtrfa
I'owcr Instantly Available.
The wonderful development of elec
trk'ity within the past few years, for
power purposes, and its great eeonomy,
adaptability, and usefulness in that
line, as shown by its universal adop
tion for the propulsion of street rail
way ears, also clearly demonstrate its
superiority as a convenient and easily
controlled power for motor vehicles,
which are becoming so popular.
While the well known trolley car
takes its power through the overhead
or underground wires and conductors
from an inexhaustible source of elec
tr eity, the motor vehicle is limited to
♦Re charge or amount it can carry, In
•OB'iequence of the fact that It is in
"teniied to travel in places and over
pxtf-s where there Is no continuous
£: it table supply of electricity. Hence,
the means of storing electricity eco
nomically in the form of batteries is
now one of the problems which is UZ>-
dergolng development
New ideas are constantly being
worked out, and It is confidently ex
pected Improvements will continue by
which greater efficiency will result. At
• present, changes have been made In
the construction of storage batteries
whereby a surprisingly large quantity
of active material is put into a small
space, and this accounts for the neater
appearance electric, motor vehicles now
possess over former designs. It Is also
a fact that the aggregate weight of
battery for the amount of current dis
charge obtained is less than formerly.
The factor of weight is one of the
features In electric vehicles that pruc
ical men are working to overcome, and
it is said that whenever n storage bat
tery or a system of storing the electrle
current is invented by which the
weight of the battery is greatly re
duced. there Is certain to Ik' an Impe
tus given to the electric motor vehicle
industry such as has never been
thought of.
One of the essentinl requirements in
a motor vehicle Is that the reserve
power shall be Instantly available for
th brief period of time, as, for example,
when heavy grades are met with. In
a storage battery tills condition is per
fectly met, the Increase of current de
manded being readily given off and ac
curately measured by the ampere me
ter, so that by observing the latter
while traveling on nu apparently level
rond one can detect slight grades by
the varying position of the umperc
needle.
The battery may be considered as
an elastic equalizer capable of giving
off In ail Instant the amount of current
needed at various times and emergen
cies. This makes electricity an idenl
power for vehicles, for It eliminates
the complicated machinery of either
gas. steam, or compressed air motors,
with their attendant noise, heat, and
vibration. It Is not only serviceable as
power .but also as light nt night.
The vertical steering shaft is con
nected underneath the carringe by a
crank and rod witli one end of nu in
terior movable hollow hub, around
which the front wheel runs on ball
bearings; the hub Is pivoted on Its In
terior to the carriage frame. Another
connecting cross rod extends from this
hub to the same style of hub on the
AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE,
of one hub by the steering shaft oper
ates the other In the same direction,
both moving parallel to each other.
Tills enables the steering to lie done
very easily.
The carringe frame which supports
the springs Is built of strong steel tub
ing. well braced and jointed. The foot
brake lever projects slightly above
the floor, anil has side notches for hold
ing the lever in any position it may be
placed. From tills lever under the car
riage, the brake rod extends to a baud
brake wheel secured on the rear tubu
lar propelling shaft adjoining the large
gear wheel, also keyed on the same
shaft. To exclude dust, these are cov
ered by a metal casing which is re
moved in the illustration for more
clearly showing the driving mechan
ism. An additional Rafety hand brake
Is provided, the lover of which will be
seen Just inside the front seat.— r :lcn

Some Late inventions.
Shears and scissors are to be made
with ball bearings, the washer at the
end of the connecting rivet being cut
out on the underside to form a ball
race, which not only decreases the
wear on the rivet, but securely holds
tile cutting edges together.
A handy tool for carpenters' use ts a
nallhohler, for starting nails in corners
nnd places where the lingers cannot
hold thein easily, a steel punch having
a pair of jaws attached to Its face to
grasp the nail and hold It while the
hammer is driving it.
Pens can lie adjusted at any desired
angle in a new holder, which has the
pen socket mounted on a ball set in a
clamping head, so It can be moved in
the position desired and held fast by
turning a screw at the opposite end of
the holder to lock the Jaws in the

CHESTNUTS AS FOOD.
Used Through France us a Popular
Article of Diet.
The absence of Indian corn as an ar
tlelo of diet umong the poorer classes
In France Is, writes Commercial Agent
tirlHlu nt Limoges, to a certain extent
replaced by the popular chestnut.
Throughout the center of tills country,
from the Bay of Biscay to Switzer
land, there are large plantations, and
almost forests, of chestnut trees.
Those nuts differ very much from the
ordinary species Indigenous to the
United States; they ure broad, large,
anil resemble the American horso
chostnut or buckeye, and are exten
sively eaten by human linings and uui
mals. Great cure Is taken In harvest
ing this uut before the severe frosts
touch It, us freezing hastens fermenta
tion.
The poor people, during the full nnd
winter, often make two meals dally
from chestjiuts. The ordinary way of
cooking them is to remove the outside
shell, blench them, then a wet cloth
Is placed in an earthen pot, which Is
almost tilled with raw chestnuts; they
are covered with a seeoud wot cloth,
and put oil the lire to steam; they are
eaten with salt or tnllk. Hot steamed
chestnuts arc carried around the city
Streets In baskets or prllh; the major
ity of the working people, who usually
linvc no lire early In the moruiug, eat
them for their flrst breakfast, with or
without milk. Physicians Hiiy tliut as
an article of food, chestnuts ure whole
some, hearty, nutritious and fattening.
These nuts are often used as a vege
table and are exceedingly popular, be
ing found on the table of the well-to-do
and wealthy. They are served not
only boiled, but roasted, steamed,
pureed, und us dressings for poultry
and meats.
Chestnuts are made into bread by
thy mountain peasantry. After the
nuts have been blanched, tTiey are
dried aud ground. From tbls flour n
sweet, heavy, flat cake is made. It re
sembles the oaten cukes so popular
among Scotch peasants. They are ex
tensively employed for fattening ani
mals. especially hogs. The nuts are
boiled without shelling; only Small, In
ferior fruit Is thus used.
In good seasons, chestnuts sell as
low as 1 cent a pound retnll. and
wholesale at SI.OO per two hundred
weights.
The Origin of Confetti
"Confetti" wns Invented by accident.
A big [tinting house in Furls used to
turn out millions of almanacs yearly,
each with a small bole punched in the
corner to receive a metallic eyelet. An
enormous quantity of the tiny pnper
circles accumulated. These were sent
to the pa|M>r makers, aud would be so
disposed of still had not chance aud
ttie smart proprietor turned them to
protlt. According to the "Family Doc
tor," It happens that two of the work
men were having n little dispute. Sud
denly one of them caught up a handful
of the paper circles aud threw them
in the other's face.
The other workmen Joined In, nnd In
the midst of the engagement the pro
prietor appeared. For from getting
angry, lie told one of the men to till
a paper bag with the circles and take
Ihom to his house. That night lie en
gaged a sent In the gallery lit the
opera, nnd during the dances showered
the paper down on the heads of the
IH-ople below. The Idea enuglit on Im
mensely, and he Invented special ma
chines for manufacturing the confetti.
One has only to walk through Paris or
Brussels during carnival to get an idea
of the quantity of these little circles
used. In Parts alone (luring the three
days' carnival of the Boeuf Orns there
wore L'OO tons of the confetti used.
Making Brass Instruments
The bell of n brass band Instrument,
which Is the big end. extending back
to the bow or first betid. Is made of a
single piece of metal which was origi
nally flat. The pattern liy which the
metal is out is of the shape that a
liell would have If it were silt straight
down the side from end to end and
then flattened out. When the flat
piece of metal from which a boll Is
formed Ims been cut out hy sucli n
pattern, it Is liout by hand over a
rod until the edges meet. The seaui is
brazed, and the piece of metal now lias
its trumpet shaped form, tint with
many little more or less uneven places
In ttie thin metal.
The bell is then plnccd upon a wood
en mandrel, a form which fills the In
terior of the bell from end to end nnd
Is of the size nnd slinpe to which tlic
hell Is to be conformed. The Inequali
ties lu the surface of the metal are
then worked out of It hy baud with
wooden hammers, the bell being re
peatedly driven down upon the man
drel. When the bell has nt last' been
brought In tills manner substantially
to Its true form It is finished aud
brought to Its perfect smoothness of
surface In n spinning machine.
English Tramps
While some vagaliounds remain In
the country during the winter, there Ih
none the less a general exodus from
the road In the nutnmn. In the South
the professional wayfarer's last chance
of obtaining work lu the fields Is nt
"hopping": In the North, nt "tater
sera telling." Thousnnds of vagrants
rely on one or the other industry to get
a winter's stock or keep, or, at least,
something with which to tide them
over the beginning of the town season.
Comparatively seldom, however, do
they reach their winter quarters with
much jnoney.
Incredible as It may seem. It Is yet
a fact that every autumn a number of
London's wastrels tramp Into Kent for
no other purpose than that of "going
through"—of robbing—poor "hoppers";
and vagrants, notwithstanding that
they are versed in the ways of the
sneak thief, nnd hide their money
more regularly than they wash them
selves. are victimized as readily as
are tolling Fast Enders. Other tramps
squander their money before they
reach town.—Good Words.
