Knowledge Came Handy.

One day during Dr. Newman Hall's pastorate of a church in Yorkshire, he was chatting with a farmer about the best method of self-defense when attacked by a savage dog. “Take off your hat and hold it In front of you,” advised the farmer. “The dog will at once bite the rim. Then kick violently under your hat, and the distance being exactly that of your leg, the too of your boot will strike the lower Jaw of the dog, who will at once go off in peat pain.” The very next day Dr. Hall was crossing a field when a fierce dog ran at him. There was no refuge near. He had no stick. He remembered his lesson. In an Instant the dog rushed howling round the field, and the grand old dissenter, with a slight wound in his hat, went his way—Youth’s Companion,

Years ago American harvesting machinery led the way and created a demand for itself In lands where “Old Glory” was never *een outside of books. Deering Harvesting Machines, made in Chicago, are sold to-day by the shipload from New Zealand to Norway, and from Sputh Africa to Siberia, and in every land where grass and grain are harvested.

WHAT OTIS HAS DONE

DETAILS OF PRESENT SITUATION IN PHILIPPINES, Country Held by Troop* Sixty Miles North and South of Maaila—Grow ins Desire for Peace-Natives Combining to Drive Ont Insurgents. Gen. Qtis, in reply to a cable from the War Department at Washington asking for information regarding situation and conditions in the Philippines, cabled as follows: “Adjutant General, Washington: Rainy season. Little inland campaigning possible in Luzon. We occupy large portion of Tagalog country, lines stretching from Imus south, to San Fernando north, nearly sixty miles, and to eastward into Laguna province. Insurgent armies have suffered great losses and are scattered; only large force held together about 4,000 in Tarlac province and northern Pampanga. Their scattered forces are in bands of fifty to five hundred in other portions Luzon; in Cavite and Batangas provinces could assemble possibly 2,000, though demoralized from recent defeat. Mass of people terrorized by insurgent soldiers, desire peace and American protection; no longer flee on approach of our troops unless forced by insurgents, but gladly welcome them. No recent burning of towns. Population within our lines becoming dense, taking up land cultivation extensively; kept ont of Manila much as possible as city population is becoming too great to be cared for. “Natives southeast of Luzon combining to drive out insurgents; only hope of insurgent leaders is United States aid. They proclaim near overthrow of the present administration, to be followed by their Independence and recognition by United States. This is the influence which enables them to hold out; much contention prevails among them and no civil government remains.

“Trade with ports not in our possession, a former source of insurgent revenue, now interdicted; not certain of wisdom of this policy, as people in those parts are without supply of food and merchants are suffering losses; meditate restoring trade privileges, although insurgents reap benefits. Courts here in successful operation under direction of abie Filipinos. Affairs in other islands comparatively quiet, awaiting results in Luzon. All anxious for trade, and repeated calls for American troops are received. Am giving attention to Joie Archipelago and Palawan Islands. “Our troops have worked to the limit of endurance. Volunteer organizations have been called in and replaced by regulars, who now occupy salient positions. Nebraska, Pennsylvania and Utah now taking transports, and Sixth infantry sent to Negros to relieve California. Those troops are in good physical condition; sickness among troops has increased lately, due mostly to arduous service and climatic influences. Nothing alarming. “Of the 12 per cent of the command reported sick nearly 6 in general hospital, of whom 3 per cent have typhoid and 17 malarial fevers; 25 per cent have intestinal trouble; remaining 55 per cent have various ailments, 14 of which are due to wound injuries. Many officers and men who served in Cuba break under recurrence of Cuban fever, and regular regiments received are inadequately officered. “OTIS.” The inadequacy of the number of officers mentioned in the last part of the cablegram has been remedied by the sailing of the transports Zelandia and Sheridan,

GERMANY REJECTS SCHEME.

Colonel Von t'chwatzboffPnts a Check on Disarmament Plans. The Russian proposals for a standstill of armament hare been submitted to a sub-committee of the peace conference at The Hague. This move was all that saved them from immediate rejection. Their eventual rejection is sure. Col. Gross von Schwatzhoff of the German delegation made a speech against the disarmament scheme which is the sensation of the conference so far. In reply to the Czar's plea for disarmament on the ground that a maintenance of large armaments is crushing the nations, he said that Germany was not being ruined and her wealth, contentedness and standard of life were daily increasing. He said further that a reduction of peace forces was only one small step toward a reduction of offensive power. Length of military service, development of railway, enabling rapid mobilization and economical conditions were all factors in a nation’s military strength. He concluded by saying with amazing frankness that to only consider the non-in-crease of armaments and leave out all these other factors might seem ft plausible scheme for peace to an outsider, but to a military expert it was so manifestly absurd that he wondered it could ever have been put forward in earnest. Many of the delegates say that Col. von Schwatzhoff’s speech was a smashing blok to Russian arguments. The German pence delegates have privately informed their colleagues that they are now instructed to support the principle of arbitration.

AMERICANS SUE ONTARIO.

Lumbermen Claim Damages Under the New Titnbsr Kegulntione.

Don M. Dickinson of Detroit has filed a big bill of damages against the province of Ontario at Ottawa, on behalf of Mich-" igan lessees of Ontario timber lands for violation of the crown timber licences. Ontario now requires all these lessees to manufacture the logs Into lumber in Ontario, and ns a consequence several mills in Michigan have had tojshut down. The claims reach the total of $936,500. The constitutionality of the Ontario statute is now feeing tested in the courts, but the case will not likely reach the final court of appeal, the British privy council, until next November.

AUTOMOBILES FOR CHICAGO.

Up-to-Dnte Passenger Vehicles to Replace Carettes Now in Use. The lumbering, unwieldy, old-fashioned curettes that Tor so long have plied between the business center of Chicago and Lincoln Park will give place about Sept. 1 to a system of automobile vehicles. The new vehicles are built to hold twenty passengers each, and can be closed in winter and opened la the summer. They have seats on top, and are equipped with heavy springs and large rubber Urea.

WORLD'S WOMEN MEET.

International Connell Commence* It* Session* in London. The International Council of Women opened in the convocation hall of the church house, London, England. The Countess of Aberdeen, president of the council, In her address, after cordial words of welcome, sketched the duties of the council. She said international arbitration should ever be placed foremost in its program, advocated the establishment of an international bureau of information regarding all that affects women, and warned women against arrogating to themselves alone the duties of curing ail evils. Lady Aberdeen afterward introduced Mrs. May Wright Sewall of the United States, vice-president of the council, who was enthusiastically received as a possible successor to the presidency. For officers the international council has some of the most prominent women in the world. They are: President, Countess of Aberdeen; vice-president, Mrs. May Wright Sewall of the United States; treasurer, Baroness Alexandra Grippenberg of Finland; recording secretary, Mme. Maria Martin of France; corresponding secretary, Miss Teresa F. Wilson of London. The nations represented at the congress ar4 the United States, Great Britain, Germany, Sweden, Canada, Denmark, Holland, India, New South Wales, Tasmania, Norway, Palestine, China, New Zealand and the Argentine Republic. The United States is represented by Mrs. Fannie Humphreys Gaffney, Susan B. Anthony and Rev. Anna H. Shaw. Among the well-known American women who are in attendance at the congress are Dr. Sarah Hackett Stevenson, Mrs. Cynthia Westorer Alden, Mrs. Annie Jeon ess Miller, Mrs. Florence B. Kelley, Mrs. Elizabeth C. Gran nils and Miss Alice Burditt.

NEW CANAL COMBINATION.

It Propose* to Construct an Isthmian Water Way.

Articles of Incorporation for the American Isthmus Ship Canal Company have been filed in TreDton, N. J. Through these articles the first announcement was made of the new combination, which, it is said, includes many men of large wealth, headed by former Mayor William R. Grace, and expects to carry to completion the isthmian canal scheme. Although the nominal capital is $30,000, the articles of incorporation give the right to increase it to $250,000,000. It is estimated that between $150,000,000 and $200,000,000 will be needed to carry out the project, the greater part of which will be expended in buying off the holders of concessions. According to the papers of incorporation, the object of the company is to acquire any and all concessions, rights and franchises on the American isthmus, to build a canal from the Atlantic to the Pacific oceans, to own lands, mines and railroads; to colonize and to build, own and operate any canal from ocean to ocean and to obtain aid from the United States, England, France, Germany or any other Government to that end.

TRUSTS ON THE DECLINE.

£o Say* Crawford Fairbanks, Who Organized Strawboard Combine. Crawford Fairbanks of Terre Haute, Ind., the brewery magnate and the promoter of the strawboard trust, has a vivid idea that the trusts are, so to speak, on their last legs. “Did you read that expression of the Attorney General of the United States in which he said that the investors in trusts would be the sufferers —not the public?” said he. “Well, his head may be level. The investors have a stomachful of trusts. Thist stock is down from 15 to 20 points and the investors don’t bite like they did. The furore is wearing off. It takes a bigger chunk of bait and a better quality to have a tempting effect than it did awhile back. I don’t think that it will be possible to put through any trust deal on a large scale in the future.”

POWERFUL NEW SHELL TESTED.

Device of Far Greater Destructive Power than Shrapnel Invented. A shell of terrific explosive power, wide radius of destruction and a capacity to annihilate by bursting fragments and a shock as effective as a streak of lightning will be the feature of the fall campaign in the Philippine Islands. Tests of the charge of this terrible engine of war have been made at Sandy Hook, the Government guarding closely jts secret of manufacture. A shell of this nature charged wjth an explosive equal to melinite or dynamite falling near a battalion of the enemy would kill or cripple a very large percentage of the battalion. The chances of escape from this tremendous machine will be decreased 100 times, experts say, as compared with shrapnel discharged at the same objects.

PLAGUE GETS TO HONOLULU.

Two Deaths from Bnbanic Fconrge in Hawaiian Harbor. The steamer Nippon Mam, from Houg Ivong, which has reached Honolulu, has been quarantined in consequence of a death, believed to be from bubonic plague, having occurred on board three days before her arrival. One Chinese passenger died on board just before the vessel reached Nagasaki and the Japanese health authorities had the body cremated and held the vessel in quarantine for several days. Three days before reaching Honolulu another death occurred among the Chinese. The Honolulu health officers made a bacteriological examination, resulting ia the finding of bubonic plague baccili in the body.

An Important Decision.

A notable decision was rendered i*> eently in the Circuit Court of the United States for the Northern District of Celt* fornia, making permanent an Injunction obtained by the California Fig Syrnp Company restraining the defendant pat* ties “from making, using or selling U y liquid laxative medicine marked with the name ‘Syrup, of Figs,’ or ‘Fig Syrnp,’ oi any colorable imitation of the same.” The decision also protects the California Fig Syrup Company against imitation of theii wrappers, boxes and symbolical designs nsed in connection with their famous laxative. The decision is of the greatest value, not only to manufacturers of proprietary articles, but to the public generally, as It affirms that the valuable reputation ao< quired by an article of merit will be pre> tected by the courts, and that the party who builds the reputation by extensive and legitimate advertising is entitled tn the full fruits of his enterprise.
