The Chicago Dispatch is the great democratic weeklv newspaper of the coun- I try. It advocates the readoption of the platform and the renomiuation of William Jennings Bryan. There has never been a political campaign that will equal importance that of the one ■ to be fought next year- The republican party, backed by the money power of this country and Europe, is alert and aggressive. Flushed with the victory of three years ago it will seek by every means in its power to maintain its supremacy. Democrats must be up and doing. They must wage an unceasing war upon their enemies. In no better and effective way can be done than by the circulation of this good sound democratic newspapers. The publisher of the Chicago Dispatch. w ill send to every new subscriber for three months a copy of the Chicago Dispatch for ten cents. If vou are not already taking this great political weekly, send in ten cents at once. You should not only do this vourself, but you should induce all vour friends to join with you. Bv a little effort you can easily raise a club of ten or twenty subscribers. The Chicago Dispatch is endorsed by William Jenmugs Bryan and other democratic leaders.

SHORT OF RATIONS MANY SPANISH PRISONERS ESCAPING FROM FII.IPINOS. They Tell Stories of Hard Treatment and Say the Insurgents Have Little Food—Tricks Practiced to Get Rice From Manila—Spy Captured. Manila, Sept. 4.—Many Spanish prisoners are escaping from the Filipinos and bringing into the American lines stories of hard treatment. They agree that the Filipinos are exceedingly short of rations and that a large section of their troops is reduced to the use of home-made black powder. The natives are trying every scheme to get food and munitions from Manila. Daily arrests are made for attempts to smuggle contraband of war through the American lines. In one case a casco with a cargo of bamboo poles was overhauled and they were found full of rice. The insurgents have wholesome respect for the British on account of several threats of British warships to bombard their towns unless the rights of British subjects are respected. Two British vessels, the Lacon and the Nero, were driven by stress of weather into the harbor of Dagupan, the northern terminus of Dagupan railway. The crews were imprisoned, but on their protesting that they were British subjects, the insurgent authorities permitted one man named Edwards to come to Manila, promising to release the crew of the Lacon if Edwards secured from the British consul at Manila a statement establishing the nationality of the crew. A similar concession was made to the crew of the Nero. Edwards says he saw several American prisoners who were better fed than the Spaniards or the Filipino soldiers. Moreover they were not compelled to work, as the Spanish prisoners are. A force of native police has begun to patrol the city of Manila, co-operaciug with the provost guard, whose lack ot knowledge of the language and the resorts of native criminals had given an opportunity for burglary, an industry which has been flourishing of late. The new force includes many members of the old force and some insurgents who had grown tired of fighting. It has already done good work in running down native criminals. The American secret service recently found a Filipino spy in Calamba. He is supposed to have been the man who stole four guns belonging to the Washington regiment. He offered desperate resistance to the soldier who was sent to capture him, and tried to run away with two revolver shots in his head. Finally he was brought down by a rifle bullet in the hip. He died after jumping from the stretcher and trying to run. General Bates, it is expected, will establish posts at Zambouga and in the islands of Tamtani, Jolo and Bongo. Late yesterday afternoon the Kansas regiment embarked on big barges in the river and were towed to the United States transport Tartar, the regimental flag flying and the men cheering and singing. The Tartar sailed for home last evening.

Hadley of Yale has announced his intention of retiring from . the editorial board of the Yale Review. President Hadley has been from the ( time of the establishment of the magazine one of the five editors, and has al- j ways been a contributor.

MR. FILIPPINI’S SEA DUTY. The Man Who Looks After the Meals on the American Liners. Alexander Filippini is said to be the only man engaged in his peculiar calling. He spends practically no time on land, frequently reaching port In time to sail back again on another liner upon the same day. Mr. Filippini is known as the traveling inspector of the American liners. His work lies in overseeing and improving the service of meals on the ships. Such numbers of people have to be provided for that unless a perfect system is established, every one attending to his duties like clockwork, the meals take an unreasonable time and people are badly served. For years it lias been found difficult to establish a uniform system in the saloons of the vessels, those in charge of each vessel having different methods. Complaints were continually being made by passengers. To systematize steamship cooking on a new basis Mr. Filippini, who for years previously superintended at Delmonieo's, was called in. It at once became evident on his first voyage that he had undertaken an enormous task, so many changes would be absolutely necessary. When the first report was turned in and approved, full authority was given to Mr. Filippini, and be started out with new courage, adopting the best ideas on each ship. He goes on board without previous arrangement and watches the preparation and serving of meals, shows the cooks and bakers essential details, sees that the table stewards are in good training, what supplies are lacking—all this has to be reported upon. Cooks have to be kept from carelessness, and great promptness is essential. Some cooks, for instance, were apt to make sauces carelessly, to waste supplies, to bold back flavorings, brandy, for instance, and to keep little supplies for themselves, while bakers sometimes forgot that bread can lie made twice as good by thorough kneading. Such were the difficulties. Then Mr. Filippini also studies the people traveling at various seasons and prepares menus for each day to suit the tastes of people from all parts cf the globe. lie gives close attention to the second and third cabins as well as to the saloon, so that, with the preparation of his reports, his time is fully occupied. Mr. Filippini is a man of middle age, with black mustache and hair slightly mixed with gray. Some have taken him to be a detective. It is stated that after liis first year's work on shipboard he saved the company $15,000 over and above his salary as the result of his work. The early training Mr. Filippini had is rather different from that given to prospective chefs of today. As a boy he went to a cooking institute in Lyons. France. Here were taught separately all the branches cf the trade. Then, instead of having to pay fjr instruction. he was employed by the school as an instructor. Later he traveled through Europe and learned a great deal more in Switzerland. Germany and other countries, coming from there direct to Delmonico's. He has recently made a short trip to study the preparation of foods in the largest cities of Europe, and he knows in what special dish or food each city excels. For instance, he found that the best bread was made in Turin, Italy, and Geneva, the reason being that they pay more attention to kneading.—New York Sun. DRILL THE TONGUE DAILY. It la the Inslreraenl That Makes the World Happier and Better. “Upon all those who are ambitious to make the world happier and better rests the obligation of drilling the tongue into lustrous kindness, purity and refinement,” writes Rev. Newell Dwight Hillis. D. D., of “The Diffusion of Happiness Through Conversation." in The I-adies Home Journal. “Not by spasmodic efforts, not with occasional hints and words of good

cheer are men to use the tongue in the interests of happiness. The daily drill of the tongue as an instrument of happiness and Influence is to enter into the fundamental conception of living. Nor is this law binding only upon those happy persons who are saiu to be good entertainers. Some there are who are so fortunately organized that they exhale benefactions upon any company into which they enter. Unconsciously ; and without any set purpose they oil the K-arings of life, lessen friction, pro- i voke laughter and good cheer as nat-; uraily as flowers that do not struggle to throw off sweetness, as the cedar wood that without thinking gives off fragrance. But the law of happiness I making is not confined to the few gifted individuals. It is binding upon all of every rank, station and temperament “On high festal days in Athens, when processions formed at stated intervals, in the processions marched men with instruments of music and also incense bearers. When one group of musicians had marched by and the sound of music was dying out of the air. another group took up the sweet strain. When ; distance had removed far the incense bearers, another group came on to fill the air with clouds of smoke from the ! sweet aromatic shrubs. Too oft our world marches forward to the sound of sad notes and requiems. Happy are those whose sweet and gentle speech fills the common life with sweetness and light, as did the ancient ministers ‘of joy and music. For their wholesome tongues are indeed ’trees of life’ ana their words ‘like apples of gold in : pictures of silver.’ ”

VERITABLE STAMPEDE Miners at St. Michaels Wild Over Reports From Cape Nome. St. Michaels, Alaska, Sept. 2.—A veritable stampede has set in from this place to Cape Nome, not less than 50 employes of the Alaska Commercial company and North American Transportation ana Trading company leaving within the past few days for the new diggings. These men. many of whom have been working for salaries ranging from SSO to $75 a month, have been crazed bv the reports recently brought over from Anvil City by returning miners, every one of whom is loaded dow n with beach gold Added to this is the demand upon the trading companies fcr quick silver, copper plate, cyanide and other articles used in rocking. Money is no object in the purchase of these mat/ridls, and it is not an unconimon occurrence to see men offer a pound tor quicksilver and as much for copperplate. A nugget weighing 16 ounces was found last week on the beach, and when the news was circulated there was a wilder rush than ever to secure rockers. Miners who staked on the creek claims threw down their shovels and asked for their time that they might share in the good luck of the 500 or more men on the beach. The result was a general advance in wages. Noble Wallingford of Seattle and his partner in 20-hours’ work one day last week rocked out $725, and in one pan last Friday Mr. Wallingford took out $lB. This piece of ground is about 10 miles from Anvil City, showing that gold is to be found along the entire beach as far as Port Clarence. Equally as much as finding a 16-ouuce nugget on the beach, was the finding of a 20-ouuce nugget on Brynetzen’s claim No. 1, below Discovery, on Anvil creek, last week. This is the largest nugget yet found in the district. TWO MURDERERS CONFESS Killed a Former Schoolmate Ont of Revenge. Chicago, Sept. s.—Richard Hoeneck and Herman Huudhausen, who late Saturday night were arrested at Grand Crossing as they were about to board a train for the east, have made sworn confessions to the murder of Walter F. Koeller, their former schoolmate. According to the confessions, revenge was the motive of both. Hoeueck, who did the stabbing, for an alleged part Koeller’s father took in the street murder of Houeck’s brother 13 years azo in Herman, M'X, and for testimony given against Hoeueck by Koeller when the former was on trial for arson; Huudhausen for some fancied slight while at school with Koeller at Dixon, Ills.

MORGAN’S IDEA Believes Expansion Will Be the Salvation of American Cotton. £ Washington, Sept. 4.—Senator Morgan of Alabama prophesies that expansion will be the salvation of cotton and is about to start a crusade in the south to spread the new gospel. In his prophetic vision he sees Mauila the crowded cotton market of the world instead of Liverpool. Instead of paying toll tc British brokers, spinners and shipown ers, he predicts the time is coming when Americans in an American city in the Pacific isles will handle twothirds of the cotton of the world and save billions to the cottongrowers oi America.

Alger, ex-secretary of war, responding to an inquiry as to whether he would be willing to accept the Republican nomination for tnavor of Detroit this fa 1, said: "I positively could not think of it.
