AGUINALDO IS CAPTURED. ' The Noted Filipino w»s taken on March 23 by Hrigadler General Fred Funiton .. Gen. Frederick Funston’s daring project for the capture of Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo, in his hiding place tn the province of Isabella, island of Luzon, has proven completely successful, having * captured him March 23. Thursday he was taken before Gen. MacArthur, at the Malacanang palace. He talked freely, but seemed entirely ignorant of passing evenjs. He is in good health and seemed cheerful; He took lunch with General MacArthur and his start!, after which he was escorted to the Anda street jail. When captured, Aguinaldo was tremendously excited, but he calmed down under General Funston’s assurance that he would be well treated. What will be done with him has not been difinitely determined, but he will, in ail probability be sent to the island of Guam as a prisoner of war, where he will remain indefinately. According to tne rules of war he could be tried by a court martial and sentenced to be shot. While the punishment rests with the military authorities, disbelieved that the president will interfere and show some mercy to the dark-skinned prisoner. __ As to Funston, he 4s the hero of the hour in his Kansas home, and, besides being promoted to a brigadier generalship ip the regular establishment, his name is already being mentioned as a presidential possibility in 1904. Public opinion now has it that the war will end. * • ■'■''■■■ ■ V / MARKETS’ DECATUB I’BODUCE MARKET, CORRECTED WEEKLY.

Allegab. j New Trains Via the Erie. 5 The Erie railroad and jthe Pennsyl- > vania lines west of Pittsburg have con- ’ sumated an arrangement for the running 3 of two solid trains every day, beginning 3 with May sth, between St. Louis, Indi--5 anapolis, Louisville and Buffalo, via Columbus and Akron, Ohio. Under this arrangement the Pennsyl--5 j vania lines west of Pittsburg will route j all their Pan-American exposition busi--1 ness to Buffalo over their own rails to 7 Akron, Ohio, tlier.ee via the Erie rail 3 road from Akron to Buffalo. This will 1 not only include the business for Buffalo 3 proper, but business to New York and j , tbe.east via Buffalo, and the Erie will J 3 route the business originating at Buffalo > on account of the Pan-American expirti- : tion to and via St. Louis and Louisville, over the same route, and will also direct the business from New York and other ’ eastern points to the west, south and southwest via Buffalo and the new lines. Bv the establishment of this service the Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburg secure a direct outlet for the Pan-Amer-ican business, while it affords the Erie an opportunity to successfully compete for business to the west and southwest via both St. Louis and Louisville. The importance of this arrangement will be recognized when it is understood that stop-over privileges will be permitted at Buffalo during the Pan-American exposition on all tickets reading via that point. Another attractive feature of the route will be the privilege of stop-over at Chautauqua lake; a privilege afforded y only the new line. Portland, Seattle and Tacoma' Passengers for the northwest, Helena, Spokane, Seattle. Tacoma, Portland etc. can now reach destination with but one Change of cars, namely, in St. Louis union station. Clover Leaf, No. 5, fast night express, makes direct connection in Union station St. Louis, with the Burlington Limited, which runs solid from St. Louis daily leaving St. Louis Union station at 9:02 a. m. via Billings and the Northern Pacific. Chair cars, Palace and Tourist Class Sleepers, also Diner, run through daiiy. Agents cf the Clover Leaf will furnish additional particulars upon application.

PERSONALS. Senator Hanna’s speeches are never written before they are delivered. The Senator carefully thinks on his subject, but never makes so much as a note for use on the platform. John Burroughs, the critic and naturalist, doe® much of his writing in the open air; in a reclaimed woodland swamp on his estate, Rlverly, on the western shores of the Hudson. The Chinese Emperor, according to a writer in Ainslee’s Magazine, Is about 30 years old, of medium height, sallow and apparently of a weak constitution. He speaks a little English and has a temper which he is unable to control. The Bible presented by the Harvard Republican Club to Governor Roosevelt, for use by him In taking the oath of office as Vice President, bears on a fly-leaf the inscruption: “From Harvard men to a Harvard man of whom all Harvard men are proud.” The railway car which was for some time President Kruger’s headquarters near Machadodorp was a splendidly decorated affair. Two guards were continually at the doors, but Mr, Kruger seldom went out except for his morning bath in the sulphur springs close by. Superfine. In “Worldly Ways and Byways” Eliot Gregory has narrated a story of a complacently tactless and snobbish person, of a type happily unfamiliar even in,.the most fashionable society. She, for it was a lady, importuned a painter for a sketch. After many delays and renewed demands he presented her one day, when she and some friends were visiting his studio, with a delightful open-air study simply framed. She seemed confused at the offering, to his astonishment, as she had not lacked assurance la asking for the sketch. After much blushing and fumbling she succeeded in getting the painting loose, and handing back the frame, remarked: “I will take the painting, but you must keep the frame. My husband would never allow me to accept anything of value from you.” Then she- smiled on the speechless painter, doubtless pleased with her own tact An Anecdote of Italy’s New King. Italy’s new King was not allowed in his boyhood to have much spending money. Indeed, the enormous debts ' left by King Victor Emmanuel made It necessary for King Humbert to exercise the utmost economy. Blit the little fellow used his small allowance to the best advantage. He never squandered it, and seldom bought toys for himself but saved his money until it reached a considerable amount, and then purchased something of permanent value,, more often for some one else than for. himself. One day be astonished his mother by asking her how much a silk dress would, cost. She told him, whereupon he said: “I haven’t quite so much as that, but if you’ll let me go out alone and on foot some morning I think I can go to some shop where they won’t know me and get one. I want to give it to my nurse. Her best gown is really very shabby.” The Honest Parson. A good joke is told on a certain minister of the gospel who likes to trade horses byway of recreation. By some means the minister came into possession 'of a horse that wouldn’t pull at all when he came to a hill. The parson found a purchaser, who inquired particularly as to age, condition and qualities of the parson’s steed. At last he asked if he was a tried puller. “It would do your souk good to see him pull,” was the enthusiastic response. The trade was mad£ and in a few days the new- owner came back and claimed the parson had misrepresented the qualities of the animal. “I told you it would do your soul good to see him pull.” The purchaser saw the point and dropped the subject. Salt River. A good many people went “up Salt River” on election day, and it is interesting to inquire into the origin of the phrase. Salt River was a little stream in Kentucky tributary to the Ohio, which was very dangerous and so crooked that rowing up in a keel boat was about the hardest work a man could do. It was customary to punish a refractory negro by making him take passengers up the river in a keel boat, his master hiring him out for the purpose. To go “up Salt River” became a proverb, and was first used by a Kentuckian on the floor of Congress, be remarking that “he was going up Salt River.” The Penalty of Forgetfulness. “Briggs feels awfully sore because he happened to early around for a week or more a letter his wife asked him to mail.” “I don’t understand why he takes it so to heart.” “It was a letter inviting his wife’s mother to come and spenh the winter with them.” “Yes.” “And the very train she would have come on if he bad mailed the letter in time jumped the track and was smashed to kindling wood.” Remarkable Deposit of Gems. Fergus County, Montana, possesses one of the most remarkable mines in the world—the Yogo sapphire properties—in that the precious stones are found in regularly formed veins like gold, silver and other valuable metals, whereas in other communities diamonds, sapphires, opals and other buried treasures are found In'packets or clusters.

I),■< - 1 > i I WASP STtNGto. Instances Where They Proved Almost i 1 \ Instantaneously Fatal. To illustrate that the stings of wasps are often dangerous, a writer in the British Medical Journal on the subject of their stings cites the two following case® which have come under his notice: A strong, healthy girl of 27 was stung on the neck by a wasp and fainted. On regaining consciousness she complained of a general feeling of numbness and partial blindness, and vomited; she suffered severe abdominal pain. She recovered in the course of a few hours.. Two months later she was stung again, this tiine on the hand. Her face became flushed, she again complained of umbness, suddenly became very pale, fainted, and died twenty-five minutes after she was stung. Another case was that of a girl of 22, who was stung by a wasp behind tbe angle of the jaw. The sting was at once extracted and ammonia applied. In a few minutes she complained of faintness and would have fallen if she had not been supported. Her face assumed an expression of great anxiety and a few’ minutes later she was tossing on the bed, complaining of a horrible feeling of choking and of agonizing pain in the chest and abdomen. Brandy gave no relief. There was nausea, but no vomiting. She rapidly became Insensible, and died fifteen minutes after receiving the sting. The most probable explanation of such cases seems to be in what is known as idiosyncracy—that is, abnormal sensitiveness in particular individuals to certain toxic agents. It is well known that drugs vary much in action in different people. What is a safe dose for one is dangerously large for another. ' Picturesque Hindoo Warriors. The British army is far and away the most picturesque of the armies gathered here, writes a correspondent from China, and most of its color comes from mystic India. The great strength of the force is made up of Indian troops, which Include in their ranks representatives of nearly all the classes and castes of that queer people. It seems remarkable to see the British commissariat bowing to all the strange demands of caste in the midst of a hard campaign. Yet such is the case, and has been since the regiments of Indian troops were recruited and organized. There have been some concessions from the children of Mohammed and the twice-born Hindus, but for the most part there has been a rigid adherence to the laws of caste. The most famous regiment in the Indian contingent is the First Sikhs. They are from Punjab, and all Hindus, tall, sparse and stately in appearance. True to creed, they cut neither hair nor beard, and while they twist the former up in a neat coiffure, they wind the latter around their ears. They wear long khaki coats, Oriental trousers that bag not only at the knees but everywhere, putters about the shins and calves, jutas or Indian sandals, and long puggerees which they twist into the neatest kind of turbans. They scorn army beef, not because they fear embalming or any other evil, but because the cow is sacred to them. They accept the dry army rations and for meat are generally supplied with goats, which must be 'Killed either by themselves or some one of their caste. A Wonderful Talking Machine. A wonderful machine has recently been tested with most satisfactory results at Brighton, Eng. In appearance the machine is merely an ordinary phonograph, with a large trumpet measuring four feet in length. Inside this trumpet there is a small and delicate piece of mechanism that lookr something like a whistle. This is the tongue of the machine. Instead of the “records” being taken on wax in the usual manner, a sapphire needle Is made to cut the dots representing the sound vibrations on a silver cylinder, and when, the needle travels over the metal a second time, the vibrations cause the whistle to produce a series of air waves, and the machine thus becames a talking siren which transforms the human voice into a deafening roar. A sentence whispered into the machine will be repeated in tones more deafening tnan the shrieks of an ocean liner’s steam siren and yet every word will be perfectly articulated and may be heard distinctly at a distance of ten miles. Tbe Telephone Was to Blaine. The telephone is not an unmitigated blessing, as Brown has reason to know. He has just had the telephone put in to his house, and he has also purchased a new fox terrier. One evening Jones rang him up and was giving him and his wile a cordial invitation to dinner, when the new terrier, not having experience of telephones, set up a violent barking. “Shut up, you brute!” cried Brown to his dog, quite forgetting to move away from the telephone. Then he tried to continue the conversation with Jones, but though he rang him up several times he got no response. And now Brown is wondering why, when he meets Jones and his wife In the street, they always fail to see him. Child Laborers. Switzerland allows no child under 14 years to become a wage earner—the age at which under the English factory law he ceases to be a child and is ranked as a “young person." English boys of 12 years of age may still ‘work in the mines for fifty-four hours a week, which Is longer than the hours for the men In the mines of. Northumberland and Durham, England.
