Truth Still Coming Out.
Soldiers returning from the Philip
pines all tell the same story, and those
who profess still to resist the force of it
must be blind with a wilfulness of a
very tough and strenuous sort. They
are patriots of a kind having a truly
stalwart belief in their country. Any
one—just common sort of folk—can be
lieve in one's country when it is right:
but they scein bound to do better than
that —they are going to believe in their
country (or their party) when it is
wrong.
The Pennsylvania soldiers just reach
ing their homes come back with ex
periences precisely similar to those re
lated over and over by returning volun
teers in other states —they tell over the
same sickening story which now every
body must know to be the simple truth.
Some of them have inclined somewhat
to reticence, having had it so long in
stilled Into them that any kind of com
plaining Is a species of military insubor
dination, but more and more, now they
are at home, they are speaking out.
The universal feeling against General
Otis Is one of intense bitterness.
The special ground of this, along with
tho general mind of the Pennsylvania
volunteers 011 the whole question of the
war, is given in tho reported statement
of one of the most Intelligent men of the
Tenth Pennsylvania—Alexander B.
Young, of Company 11—which comes
from Braddock. Young is not only a
soldier, but is an attorney, and knows
the force of words. lie says:
The sympathies of the entire regi
ment are with the Filipinos, and in
private conversation the men have no
hesitancy In so expressing themselves.
They feel that they are entitled to make
the same light for liberty that our own
forefathers wore, and that, under the
laws of humanity, they are worthy of
tho same rights.
Our men did not shirk their duties.
No volunteer regiment was more
anxious for service against the Span
iards, and when thoir terms bad expired,
Otis asked the men to reenlist.
A mooting was called of every com
pany in the regiment, and the decision
of the men was unanimously against a
reenlistment. They had accomplished
what they had engaged to do, ai)d the\
wanted to come home.
But the very next thing they know
byway of news from tin? United States
was that Otis had cabled that they wore
anxious for reenlistment.
I think Otis is a competent general as
far as courage and fighting art! concern
ed, but he unjustly and cruelly diserimi
liated against the volunteer soldiers by
keeping them constantly on the firing
line, when there were regular troops to
relieve them from the constant strain.
Keeping the men in the Philippines
against their will has embittered them,
and tho feeling against the commanding
general reported in previous despatches
doos not abate among the soldiers.
The prevailing sentiment In the Tenth
is that the Filipinos started to light for
the liberty of which they have been so
long deprived.
Since the meeting of the borough
council on Monday evening last, it has
been alleged that the bill of Riser V
Dolan, for work done at Birvanton, has
been found to be Incorrect. The amount
ordered paid to this firm was $Bl4. This,
it is stated by a member of council, is
from s<ls to gioo too much. The error
it is said, was made in measuring tin*
work. The THI HUNK does not say tin
error was intentional, but it does claim
that proper precautions wore not taken
to protect the borough in examining and
measuring the work. It is quite prob
able that the matter will come before
council at its next meeting and proper
stops taken to recover the amount in
excess of what was really earned. Mis
takes are liable to happen in any busi
ness, but mistakes of such magnitude as
this on(i is said to be are generally dis
covered In public business before tin
amounts are ordered paid.
In writing of the scarcity of labor
hereabouts and the present prosperity
of the coal trade, the North Side corres
pondent of thi! Plain Speaker sounds this
warning: "Freeland and other towns
similarly situated should not be lulled
Into a sense of false security by tho
promising outlook. It Is only temporary
at best, for in most of the mines of this
vicinity tho conditions arc such that
with steady work tho miners will not
average $1.50 a day."

Under the title "A Week in the Phil
ippines," the Courier des Etats-Unis is
publishing a series of letters which
were written in November. 1837. giv
ing a detailed description of the island
at the time of the late Insurrection
against Spanish rule. Not the least
interesting In the series is the follow
ing sketch from the notebook of the
traveler:
"The desire which the Filipinos have
always felt for a leader has brought
one to them in the person of Agutnaldo.
Fifty years ago the ambition of a young
schoolmaster like him would not have
reached beyond the grade of a captain
of banditti. Under the influence of
European ideas, which through the
Suez Canal have spread themselves all
over Asia, he aspires to be the founder
of a republic. I fear very much that
he will be disappointed. But It would
pain me to rail at this young chieftain
of 27 years, who, dazzled by the glory
of Washington and Bolivar, acquired
from their example sufficient force to
SQUAD OF NATIVES AT LA MIGUEL,
PHILIPPINES.
discipline his army and to spare his
cause from the shame of the excesses
whom stained the flag of Spain. The
bandits whom the Spanish police hud
never been able to subdue in the is
lands claim to owe allegiance to him,
and in this they deceive nobody. It
is known that Aguinaldo follows the
generous example of Menelek toward
his prisoners, and he has a horror of
reprisals. One of his first acts of au
thority wus to sentence a certain Boni
facio to be shot for pillage and mur
der. He preserves carefully the relig
ious beliefs in the hearts of his In
dians, thoroughly appreciating the fact
that Ills prestige would become lessened
by the diminution of faith. All hu
man authority leans upon the super
natural, and that perhaps is the reason
why one man gains such ascendency
over others. The Tagals, fond of the
mysterious, attribute to their young
hero superhuman power. He lives un
der their tents, participates in their la
bors, casts bullets, bakes black bread,
and cooks maize. Notwithstanding all
that, In their eyes he wears a halo. If
he should declare that he was invulner
able his Indians would believe him.
"Moreover, the reports that are scat-1
tered around and the orders that are
transmitted assume a legendary form j
in this country. Before the insurrec-1
tion it was reported in the neighbor
hood of Tondo that, at about 10 o'clock j
at night the fiery form of a woman ap
peared in the sky with a crown of liv
ing eel-penis. mat .us uie o.&u
the people that the hour for revolu
tion was at hand. There was also an- j
other story that, at Biacnabato, a wo-;
man gave birth to a child dressed in
the full uniform of a General. That
was taken as the announcement of the
arrival of shiploads of arms for the in
surgents. These stories and appari-1
tions excited the popular imagination,
which ignored their hidden sense and
retained only the fantastic figure.
"It has been said that the Spanish!
conquest robbed the enslaved races of
their native poetry and that it dimmed
completely the lucidity of their minds.
But a time always comes when the'
spirit of a race is born again to grow!
more luxuriantly than ever. Even the
soil gives to it a new sap. The Span
iards, therefore, have to-day not only'
to struggle against men. but, also to]
overcome phantoms of the past nature
aroused from its sleep, legends that;
have come down from the mountains
and the dead who have coitie up from
their graves. That is why the soldier, |
overburdened by bis task, fights with
out energy, while the insurgents dis
play in battle the most furious cour
age. In some cases they have rushed i
upon the Spanish lines with nothing
but knives in their bands and have
come back to camp unwounded, but
covered with blood.
"There is one good thing at least in
war, it develops a prodigious energy,
and when its cause is legitimate it
gives a moral courage to all. The
halfbreeds and the Indians* in Manila
do not differ either in their nature or
in their education from Aguinaldo's
Tagals. Like the latter, they have fine
heads and graceful figures. Like them.i
also, they have among tliem broad
faces, hydrocephalic foreheads and anj
upper lip so far removed from the nose
that the whole physiognomy presents'
a painful and stupid expression. Never
theless, the foreign residents, especially
the Spaniards, judge them falsely.
They insist that they are lazy, avaric
ious and passionately fond of gamb
ling. They prostitute their wives to
Europeans and the women consider
that it is an honor for them to bring
into the world a child with a 'high
nose' (alto uariz). They are steeped
in vice.
HAWAIIAN SPORT.
| An Old-Time Incident of the liulul
gence of ltoyal Ilnmea.
The old practice of surf sliding, "hoe
nalu," upon sOrf boards, was magnifi
cent sport. It has fallen almost en
tirely into disuse since forty years ago,
when horses became numerous ami
cheap. Before that date I used fre- j
quently to see it at Lahaifla, as well
as earlier at Kailua. I believe some
adepts still practice it at Hilo. The
board used in surf sliding is from five
to eight feet long and ten to fifteen
inches wide, rounded at the ends and
sharpish at the edges, very much like
a paper cutter. The rider swims out
with the board under one arm, diving
under the rollers until outside where
the surf is just beginning to break.
There, by an adroit movement, he
stretches himself upon the board just :
in front of a big roller, at the same j
time violently plying arms anil legs to |
"get a move on," while the roller lifts I
him from behind. Once in motion the !
wave does the rest, although great skill |
is needed to keep the board poised pre- !
cisely at the proper height and inclina- \
tlon upon the front of the violently i
breaking roller. The riders will thus
shoot several hundred yards to the
shore.
By early and long practice great skill
was attained in this sport. The more
expert would often rise to a standing
posture, balancing their boards by
their feet at the right point on the j
wave. I can remember in early boy
hood daily watching from my home ,
through the stems of the lofty cocoa j
palms scores of natives flying in to- i
gether In the white, roaripg surf. Sonic
were prone, others crouching on their !
boards and some standing erect. Both ;
sexes participated, and modesty was ;
much at a discount, except when the
venerated missionary was in sight. !
The males wore the malo or breech gir- !
die when disporting thus in our neigh- |
borhood. The females did not stand up !
on their boards.
Customs in those early days were
Arcadian. At about 1824 the writer's
young mother at Kailua once received ;
in her thatched cottage a morning call
from a bevy of royal dames with their |
attendants, all fresh from surf play.
The maidens carried the garments :
while their mistresses stalked into the
missionary's parlor in stately simplic
ity and proceeded to dress. All that j
was utterly innocent, and so in acer- |
tain sense was the nearly entire unre
straint of domestic morals In those
early days. To infuse some degree of
conscience 011 that point has been al- '
together the most difficult part of the |
missionary's task in Hawaii. To most
of the Ten Commandments the Ha
waiian was easily amenable. But the
importance of the seventh did not read- j
ily come home to him.
SlnvcH in the l*li 11 iiilai-M.
The attention of the authorities has
been called to the fact that slavery is
rampant in Sulu, Mindoro, Tawee Ta
wee and other of the Philippine Is
lands.
If you wish to become a slaveholder
you may go to one of the three islands
mentioned and purchase a half-grown
girl for s:i. One was offered at that
rate to Prof. Dean C. Worcester, Unit
ed States Commissioner. The usual 1
price for girls of 15 years is five bush
els of rice. Grown men and women
sell at prices proportionately greater. ;
The chief Philippine slave market
and port for their export now is Mai
bun, the old capital of Sulu. Harun 1
Narrasld. the Mohammedan Sultan of
Sulu, is the central factor of the slave
holding and slave-selling business of
the entire group. The Moros, who arc
the Mohammedan Malay subjects of
this hitherto semi-official prince, con
tinue, though upon a somewhat limited
scale, the practices of their ancestors,
the bloodthirsty Malay pirates who red
dened Philippine waters for several
centuries. No admixture of blood
could be more favorable to slave hold
ing than that of Malay and Mohamme-1
dan. according to Prof. Otis Mason, the
noted ethnologist. Among their slaves
are found Malays captured from Su-;
matra, Papuans from New Guinea, Si-j
amese, Javanese and Timorese. By 1
j collecting them within their dominion
' the Sulu masters have aided greatly in
producing the peculiar mixture of
stocks which now bothers anthropolo- j
1 gists.
i Piratical expeditions are still gather
ing as many captives as they can safe-;
i ly attack in neighboring islands. These
war-like Moros of Sulu and the islands
: thereabout, moreover, adhere to the
ancient barbarous custom of casting in
to slavery such of their captives of war

PAYMENT OP RENT.
1 as do not suffer death. "'heir most
ready customers for able-bodied male
slaves for many years hav been the
Dutch planters in the island of Borneo,
j to the southwest.
More criminal even than this pirat
ical slave gathering Is the custom of
j selling innocent children into bondage,
generally practiced by th% Mohamme-1
; dan Malays. The parent who is in
need of money lends, or, rather, gives I
his child as security for the. loan, and
j the little one is condemned to labor
until the debt is paid, which seldom,
j if ever, occurs. Very few children
thus sold into slavery ever regain their
freedom.
Moro warriors try the edges of their
weapons by striking down their slaves,
according to Professor Worcester.;
Moro slaves in Sulu represent all phases j
of slavery practiced in ancient or mod-!
em times —slaves by birth, slaves by,
capture in war or by piracy, bonded!
1 children and insolvent debtors.

Austin Bidwell, One of the
Most Daring Criminals
the World Ever Saw '
ROBBED ENGLISH BANK.
Secured Five Million Dollars on
Forged Securities and Could Prob
ably Have Gotten More.
Was Horn in Hartford, Ct., and
Commenced Life as Office Boy In
a New York Stock Broker's Office
! —Saw Much Corrupt Dealing and
Couldn't Remain Honest.
Austin Bidwell is dead. His death
narks the end of the earthly career of
jne of the most daring and successful
criminals the world ever saw. says the
Chicago Chronicle. Few men have
been able to rob the Bank of England;
Bidwell wus one of that few. He se
cured $5,000,000 on forged securities
and but for the vengeance of some
American confederates in former swin
dling games might easily have mude
the sum ten times greater. This mam
moth crime stamped him as not only a
very daring man but a wonderfully
i shrewd crook.
i Bidwell was finally caught and sent
ito a British prison for life. He was
pardoned and returned to America,
making Chicago his home until he died.
While his robbery of the British finan
cial stronghold was liis great feat he
had performed a number of feats in
i this country of equal daring, but not so
I great fame. All told he was the man
to whom all crooks looked for an ex
! ample In devious methods and certain
i ty of execution.
! Austin Bidwell Was of Yankee birth,
lie was born in Hartford. Ct.
i Bidwell commenced his New York ca
' reer as office boy for a stock broker.
This was soon after the close of they
civil war when speculation ran riot all;
over the nation. The boy was quick
and apt and by watching his chances ■
] became possessed of many a dark sec
ret which forced the holders to let him
in on the ground floor. He saw so
much corruption in dealing—so he says
—that if he had been the most honest
boy in the world he must have fallen.
In his autobiography, "From Wall
Street to Newgate," he treats the ter
rible corruption of New York during
j the A. Oakley Hall and Boss Tweed
j regime without gloves.
Bidwell acted as broker in New York
j for thieves who stole bonds and other
securities and made money rapidly un
til he neglected to account for the pro- j
: coeds of one sale and also to divide
with the police inspector, who was "in"
the deal.
I This was in 1873 and Bidwell, still too
smart to be caught napping, received a
warning and coolly walked down to the
docks with a roll and some more bonds
in his pocket and sailed for Europe.
There ho went to Paris and disposed of
some of li is goods without trouble, as
they were negotiable and not registered
bonds. He then joined his brother,
; George in London, where the scheme
was hatched to break the bank or force
a settlement without prosecution.
The scheme was to procure some $50,.
000.000 of the bank's money, flee the
land for a time until it could be safely
hidden, then offer to compromise on
the basis of the return of part in con
sideration of the dropping of all action
against the schemers. It very nearly
succeeded, for the operators were too
sharp for the bank officials and but for
Ihe "squeal" of a former confederate in
America would probably have been
played out to the bitter end. Austin
Bidwell opened an account with the
| bank with the SIOO,OOO cash he had
with him. He went about his business
like any other well-to-do man dabbling
a little in stocks and showing that ho
; knew the markets well.
He made some money and increased
his deposit. Then he became very con
fidential with some shrewd operators
on the other side, who were equally
! confidential with the bank officials. He
showed these operators how to make
good money in America and was re
warded by being introduced and dined
i by his new friends. He became chum
my with the governor and as his tips
were always productive of fat returns
none had the ear of that functionary
inore readily. Then he prepared for
his coup. That was to sell a lot of
bogus bonds, get the cash and drop out
■ of sight.
i Fortune seemed to smile on the con
spirators. Austin sold the bonds and
George took the proceeds away to
place them in a safe place. The men
wore winners to the extent of $5,000,000
good, hard British gold before the
slightest suspicion attached to their
dealings. The leader was so skilled in
market lore, knew and talked intimate
ly of the kings of finance on this side
and altogether bore himself as an
American who preferred to work on
the London board to going back to
New York. There seemed to be no
limit to the steal but that fixed by the
! conspirators.
While his brother was making a
rapid retreat to France he kept up a
bold front, visiting the bank he had
swindled and Joking with the officers.
He was so cool that they delayed sef
j ting the detectives on his trail until
j too late. lie was laying lines all thie
i time to decamp, and one morning he
disguised himself and shipped for the
West Indies on a tramp steamer. H*
had plenty of money when he started
too. He had an exciting trip and was
finally landed in Cuba, where he went
into hiding for a time. He laughed at
the British detectives, but, as he naive,
ly writes in his books, ho forgot the
Americans.
George was caught in France after a
short hunt and taken back to London.
The former homes of the two men in
the British capital were searched and
the plant for the forgeries discovered.
r l l*en the American detectives we\>
put on the trail of the principal offen
der and he was finally taken. lie was
extradited and at last joined George
in Newgate.
Shakcnpenre in his plays touched up
on pretty nearly every subject of hu
man interest, except the hired girl.

A LUNATIC YEARS AGO
Advent 11 ros of a Merchant Wlien In
sane People Were Chained Up.
Within the memory of peoplo now
living lunatics and weak-minded peo
ple In country districts were confined
to the houses of their relatives, some
times chained to the wall. A story in
volving a case of this kind fifty years
ago is related by a New York mer
chant.
He made his start in life by travelling
through the country districts of Penn
sylvania taking orders for and deliver
ing goods of various kinds from the
cities. He is now over 70 years of age.
"One fine afternoon," he said. "I
called at a farmhouse to look for orders
for goods from stores in Philadelphia
and knocked at the door. A voice said
'come in,' and I pressed the latch and
found myself in the kitchen of the
house. I was confronted by a strange
looking man, unkempt and unshorn,
who came forward from a place parti
tioned off from the rest of the kitchen,
which looked like a stall of some kind.
He told me that the master of the
house ./as not in and that he was the
only person there Just then. I had no
idea that 1 was talking to a lunatic, as
the man seemed perfectly rational in
spite of his strange appearance, and be
fore I started to go out I asked for a
drink of water.
" 'Certainly,' said the man, 'but if
you have no objection to cream you
can have it.'
"I accepted the proposal with thanks,
and the man said: 'Please hand me the
key of the dairy. It is on that nail
above the door and you are taller than
I.' Without suspecting anything, I
handed him the key .remarking that it
was a very small one. He instantly
brought into view a chain by which he
was -itatved to the wall and released
b' ■,**(> by unlocking the padlock in
less '-tan tht n it takes me to tell it. I
had Tretloua'v noticed that he kept his
hands twWtv his back while he talked.
Then i reufzsd that I was in the pres
ence o' <1 itutdi' in. I began to back to
the door but he caught my arm say
ing: 'Co with me for the cream.'
"I first thought of breaking away, but'
on second thoughts decided that it was
safer to humor him a little, especially
as he was between me and the door. I
went with him to the dairy the door of
which was open. There he filled a
bowl with cream and desired me to
drink it. I drank part of and made a
move to get away, but his grasp tight
ened, and muttering something about
cream not being solid enough,' he
brought me back to the kitchen, where
he stirred some kind of meal into the
cream and handing me a spoon told
me to sup it. I hesitated, when he seiz
ed a cudgel, which I suppose had been
provided to keep him in subjection and
holding it up menacingly, said: 'Sup
it.'
"I made an attempt to eat the stuff
and after a few mouthfuls said I had
enough. He raised the cudgel again
and ordered me to finish it. A happy
thought struck me.
" 'lf you bring me more cream I can
finish it,' I said, without daring to
look round at the door, as he was
watching me.
"The madman was taken off his
guard and went back to the dairy for
the cream. I immediately darted out,
and the lunatic, hearing me open the
door, came after me with the cudgel. It
was now a race for life with me. I ran
my very hardest, not even daring to use
my breath in shouting for help, but
after I had gone about a quarter of a
mile I saw that the lunatic was gaining
on me. Not a soul could I see along
the road and though I kept my wits
about me I could not find any lane or
think of any way of doubling on my
pursuer. When he was within about
twenty yards of me I saw he was bound
to overtake me, and I gave a cry for
help. Just at that moment several men
appeared. They came up in time to in
tercept the lunatic. One of them hap
pened to be his brother and the mad
man cowered and dropped the cudgel at
the sight of him. The brother apolo
gized to me for his carelessness and
invited me to turn back to the house
and get some refreshment, but I had
enough of it and declined the invita
tion. After that while I continued at
that business I was always chary of
entering a house where there was only
a single occupant."
Itringliig Wifey Around,
"I have a very simple scheme for
wriggling out of trouble when my wife
catches me in a fib," said a Perfect
Unite last evening to several congenial
companions. "On such ocaßlons it is
a great mistake for a man to attempt
any explanation. The thing to do is
merely to assume an air of injured in
nocence. That attitude will puzzle a
woman and shake her confidence in
your guilt. She will begin uncon
sciously to cast about for some explan
ation. some theory, some clew to the
mystery, and when she finds one, no
matter how preposterous, she will be so
pleased by her own cleverness that it
is easy to persuade her to accept it
out of hand.
"You see, I have reduced the thing to
a science. To illustrate: I told my
wife not long ago that I would be de
tained over my books until past mid
night. After I left, some neighbors,
confound 'em, invited her to the the
atre. and during the last act she saw
me, of course, with some of the boys
in the parquet. When I got home
there was an explosion, I said nothing
I simply looked at her, sadly, wistfully,
reproachfully. Next duy there was
another explosion. I resumed my tac
tics. That evening she said: 'Look
here, Charlie, I want you to tell me
whether you really went to the theatre
tp see Col. Hawkins.' Then I remem
bered suddenly that Hawkins was seat
ed at my left, and also that she knew
I had been trying to close a large-sized
business deal with him.
"In the goodness of her heart the
dear girl had arrived at the conclusion
that I must have gone to the show to
clinch the contract. I smiled wanly.
'I would have thought, Mary,' I re
plied with great gentleness 'that some
thing of the kind might have suggested
itself to you before. That was enough.
She wept copiously. I was not a
monster; I was a martyr. Eventually,
I forgave her upon her solemn prom
ise never again to suspect me of an
untruth. So you see how it is. If I
had tried to explain I would doubtless
have made a mess of it and planted
lasting seeds of distrust. As it turned
out the epleodo redounds to my credit.
