Civilization advances in some direc-

to speak. For instance, the popula

a little over 50 percent in the 20 years

od the business and revenues of the

A woman who married a
couple in Pennsylvania recently (and
it is said to be the first marriage cere-
mony ever colemnized by a woman in
that state) at once turned the mar-
riage fee over to her husband. Minis-
ters’ wives have so long been accus-
tomed to receive the wedding fees that
the act seems to be quite just to the
sterner sex.
A recent report from the census

New Jersey is third, with a little
more than 250 inhabitants to the
square miles. and Connecticut is
fourth, with a little more than 187
inhabitants to the square mile. The
other states which have more than
-100 inhabitants to the square mile are
New York, with 152.6; Pennsylvania,
with 140.1; Maryland, with 120.5; and
Ohio, with 102. Nevada has only four-

LARGE FILIPINO ARMY CAPTURED.
Colonel Wint Came From China With Gen-
eral Chaffee, and at Once Set. About
to Clean Up the Province of Sor-
gon of Insurgents. Surrender of the
Entire Force.
~ Manila (By Cable).—The force of the
insurgent leader Bellarmino; who have
recently been operating around Don-
sol, province of Sorsogon, were driven
across the mountains by the Second In-
fantry and finally captured by the Sixth
Cavalry. Bellarmino, with 1000 men and
| 284 guns, surrendered to Colonel Wint
| at Albay, capital of the province of that
| name, :
Later in the day the official announce-
ment of the surrender of Bellarmino
| was made. According to this account
Bellarmino, who has been operating in
| the province of Sorsogon, surrendered
| Thursday last at I.egaspi, on Aibay
| Bay, with 32 officers, 215 guns and 3000
| rounds of ammunition. The insurgent
| presidentes of that section of the coun-
[try and many Filipinos accompanied
{ Bellarmino, who gave himself up to
| Col. Theodore J. Wint, of the Sixth
| Cavalry. In all since June, 1081 insur-
| gents have surrendered in that district.
| Colonel Wint’s regiment came from
| China with General Chaffee. Before
disembarking at Legaspi Colonel Wint
went to General Chaffee and asked the
| latter if he desired him to clean up that
| part of the country. General Chaffee
| roptied: “Yes, but I do not command
until July 4.” In three weeks Bellar-
{ mino was cornered in spite of the theo-
| ries of many officers that cavalry could
| not be used in effective operations in
{ such a country.
Former Filipino officers who belong-
ed to Malvar’s command report that 50

PIERRE LORILALARD DEAD.
Was Taken Sick in Bagland and Aerived
Home om the Feurth of July.
New York (Special).—Pierre Loril-
lard, the millionaire tobacco merchant,
who became famous as a turfman,
vachtsman and bon vivant, died at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel.
The members of the family present at
the bedside when the end came were Mr,
Lorillard’s daughters, Mrs. T. Suffern
Tailer and Mrs. William Kent, and their
husbands and Pierre Lorillard, Jr., and
wife, and also Pierre Lorillard III.
Mr. Lorillard’s present illness dated
from June 20. He was in England, and
went to his lodge at Ascot, hoping to see
his horse, David Garrick, run for the
Gold Cup. He had several of his stable
engaged for the events, but saw none
of the running, as he was stricken with
an uraemic chill, and was laid up at the
lodge for a week. Mr. Lorillard was not
at first disposed to heed suggestions that
he would do well to return to America.
But he was suffering acutely from kid-
ney and bladder trouble, and at last he
consented to make the voyage. He went
from Ascot to the Carlton Hotel, Lon-
don, and boarded the Deutschland with
Dr. Kiiroe and his valet. He was able
to walk on board the steamship, but at
once went to his cabin, and remained
there during the voyage. His condition
became graver daily. Dr. Kilroe Qnairy
informed him in how great danger he
was, but the patient insisted that he
would live until he reached New York.
ROBBERS WERE VERY LUCKY.
They Secured $40,000 in National Bank Notes
in the Recent Hold-up.
Washington (Special).—Treasury of-
ficials stated that their information was
to the effect that the men who robbed
the Great Northern train at Wagner,
Mont., last Monday, secured $40.000 in
complete national bank notes, which
were shipped on June 28 to the National
Bank of Montana at Helena.
It appears that there were 800 sheets
of these unsigned notes, of four notes
to a sheet, three tens and one twenty.
The bank numbers run serially from
1201 to 2000, both inclusive, and the
[ Treasury numbers were from Y-934,349
to Y-935,144.
The bank numbers were printed in
[the lower left hand corner of the notes
{and the treasury numbers in the upper
{right hand corner. The charter number
| was 5671, printed in bold face, brown
figures across the face of each note. It
was stated at the department that as
soon as notes of this character are
by the law as in circulation, and are re-
the bank, which has on deposit at the
Treasury sufficient bonds to cover their
redemption.
As the express companies are under
bond for the safe delivery of all ship-
responsible, so the government and the
bank are fully protected from loss.
