A°E QUIETING DOWN AFFAIRS IN IHJ, PHILIPPINES GRADUALLY DRAWING TO A CLOSE. LITTLE ACTUAL FIGHTING NOW The Ineurgente Are Falling Back at All Contested Pcints. Sacrificing Their Possessions. In Most Cases. Satisfied to Save Themselves. Minfin. Dec. 10.—While the captures •f supplies and the occupation ot new points ate quite numerous, those Involving actual fighting aie comparatively few. Apparently the Insurgents are falling back at all contested itotnrs. sacrificing their possessions in most cases and satisfied to save themselves. A detachment of the Forty-seventh i United States volunteer Infantry from . the Island of Catanduanes. off the i southeast coast of Luzon, relinquished an attempt to land near Pandan. On i anchoring the Americans were fired! ui>on by GO riflemen and after a short engagement they cut the anchor chain i and sailed for Cataduanes, with two | killed and two wounded. The names have not yet been received here. Captain Richard T. Ellis, of the Thirty-third volunteer Infantry, captured in the mountains near Barbara large quantities of Krag, Mauser and Remington ammunition, together witn a signal outfit, a printing press and other equipment. All of this was destroyed. Thirty rifles and several hundred cartridges were secured at Victoria. A detachment of tl.c Fourth Infantry captured Major Garion and three otfl-1 eers of lower rank in the town of I’a | say. Another detachment destroyed General Uguad’a camp. The enemy had fl<-d, but the Americans subsequently rounded up 25 Insurgents. General MacArthur has approved the death sentences passed upon several additional persons convicted of mur-1 der. arson and pillage. In a few other! instances he Las commuted death sentences to imprisonment. RECORD-BREAKING TIME Rig Appropriation Bill Passed With Less Than Ten Minutes' Debate ( Washington, Dec. 11.—The first of the great supply Idllii, the legislative, executive and Judicial appropriation bill, was passed by the house yesterday In record time. The bin carries $24,49G,30ti and has 131 pu res, but there was less than ten minutes’ debate upon it. Mr. Bingham (Pa.) who was In charge of the measure, ten tiered his thanks to the house for the confidence shown In the appropriations

committee. It required about three hours for the clerk to read the bill. No other business was transacted. John L. Sullivan's Brawn. Some eminent tragedians were once quizzing John L. Sullivan, then la his heyday. Said one of them: “Say, John, why don’t you try the legitimate? Lock at Muldoon. He has played the wrestler until be Is as well know n in connection with Shakespeare as he is on the mat.” I John looked thoughtful for a moment and then growled: "Say, do you think I could do it?” “Why, sure. Flay The Gladiator.’ Just the piece for you.” Once again John thought awhile and then said: “Say. that’s a good idea. I think I’ve got a good scheme to work with It too.” “What Is ft. John?” “Why, I’d have a real solid Iron arena. I'd come Into the arena and holler, 'Bring out your wild ox!’ See? Then I’d have ’em bring In a live bull. I’d wrestle round the ring with it until I got a good hold on its horns, and then I’d slowly twist it down and break Its new. Then I’d put my foot on Its neck and say, ‘Behold the Invincible, yours truly. John L. Sullivan, champion of i the world!" I’d kill a real live bull for ’em every night How do you think that’d bit ’em?" “Great! But great Scott John! Can you kill a bull like that?” "Huh! Can I? Come out to the slaughter bouse and see me do It.”— Kansas City Independent The Chinese Cook. Mrs. White determined In the first flush of her newly wed dignity that she was not going to be "squeexed’’ by the Chinese cook and the storekeeper, as it was quite plain every one else was. Accordingly she purchased scales and weights and announced her intention of persvnally weighing everything. For some days this method proved very satisfactory, but she was sometimes a little puzzled on finding that the provisions occasionally weighed more than | was charged for. One day the mystery was solved. She was carefully weighing a chicken. In Chinn not only Is everything, living and dead, sold by weight, but fowls are always supplied alive. The chicken during the weighing operation suddenly entered a vigorous objection and be- ■ gan to flap and struggle with all Its might, and during these flappings nnd Stragglings something weighty fell with a thud to the floor, evidently from somewhere about the chicken. This turned out to be a large piece of lead which hnd been cunningly fastened under one of the wings. Further Investigation led to the discovery of a similar piece underneath the other wing. Ihe overweight of the past few days was now accounted for.—Chambers' Journal

ABB BOTH. 38 2 Auditor Adams County. ‘■Somethlag-In-IC’-lam. Did you ever notice how many persons there are in the world who can be induced to admit there “la aomething in it?” Doesn't make any difference what It la. The most of the folks will sputter disbelief for awhile and then when some sudden recollection strikes them or you get some argument in under the solar plexus they will grudgingly admit that there’s something queer about it or something we don’t understand or generally “something in It.” The tncmltcrs for the society of psychical research, the spiritualist doctor, the medium, the Christian Hcientist and some of the rest of the folks will explain to you Just what "is in it” according as they practice the cult. For the rest of us the vague notion that there is something somewhere somehow, that we do not understand, muni needs suffice.---Lew Iston Journal.
