Ill* Make* a Tart Meplj to tkr Land* lady at the Private Family Boardiaa Uaaie. Mr. Smithers it a somewhat fastidious young man who is looking for a new boardiiiitg place, Smithers can’t abide the regulation boarding house, and always tries to live with a private family. He is now convinced that an “ad. which solicits boarders for a “‘nice private family’' is often a snare for a iittffy double fiat, inhabited by one small family and 24 boarders. Smithers called one day last week at a Slace with a glowing description just on the lank of Michigan avenue’s aristocracy. ‘Hum,suspiciously like a boarding house,** thought Smithers. as he took in the dimensions. A collariess negro servant who •jipened the door confirmed his suspicions, ilwit he had gone too far then to back out. A sharp-nosed, snippy landlady came in with a top-lofty air. “Er-ah, I believe I am mistaken,” he bej|itn. “I supposed I should find a private family. ByUhe advertisement—hu-m—” The laughter and the familiar boarding hum of 14 clerks and ten lady stenters came up from the dining-room — —'basement. The mistress of the conglomerate “private family” drew herself up prondly. “You are entirely mistaken, sir, the asserted, in a rapping, seven-dollar-a-week voice, “this is not a boarding house, although we have a few friends living with TO.” _ ] , Smithers sniffed the air. There was a distinct odor of prunes and corned beef. “Well, I must say,” he remarked, as ho turned up his coat .collar and fled down the steps, “that it smelts like a board ing house, madam.”—Chicago Inter Ocean. Nickname Saved Him. “His name is Percy Algernon,” said the girl in the Seventh street car to her chum. “Pretty, ain’t it? But, then, it’s kind o’ ■oft-like, too, don’t you think?” “Kind o’,” 6aid the other girl. “I like Bill, or Jim, or something like that, myself. Never knew a Bill or Jim yet that wasn’t reliable. I hope Percy Algeraon’11 prove to be nic^, but I think his name’s awfly against him, honest I do, Min.” Then the other girl looked thoughtful for a couple of blocks. “Oh, but he told me,” she said, suddenly, then, “that the men dowmj&£ the. 6tore mil him ‘Spud.’ ” "Then yon needn’t worrv,” was the consolatory reply. “He’s all right,” and thus it was settlea that Percy Algernon would do.—Washington Poet. He Had Unworn to Ilaa. The man came out of an office building on the run and started down the street. “Here! Here!” cried the policeman on the corner. “What’s vour hurry?” "There’s a man back there trying to sell me a book on 28 weekly installments of $2.33 each!” cried the victim. The policeman instantly released his hold. “Run!” he cried. “Run like a white head! Maybe you can get away from him yet.”—Indianapolis Journal. I GRAND LADY OF ILUN01S.

Cen. Mac Arthur s arted for the^ rebel capital at seven o'clock this morning with two rapid-fin guns flanking the track, two guns ol the Utah battery on the right, anc. two guns of the Sixth, artillery on the left side of the rapids, firing continuously. The Kansas and Montana regiments moved upon Malolos, and the Nebraska and Pennsylvania regiments and the Third artillery kept .along the right of the railroad. The only effective stand made by the rebels Was at a bamboo aud eartic work, half a mile from Malolos, and on the right, where the Nebraska- res iment. as was the I ease yesterday, hid the hardest work ! and suffered the g reatest loss. Cal. I'luto* There Vint. Col. Fimston, i Iways at the front, was the first man in Malolos, followed by a group of dashing Kansans. The Filipino flag, which was flying f from the center of the town, was hauled down be some men of the Montana regiment, who triumphantly raised their own in its place. Rebels laming Strength. From the columns of smoke arising from the city it seemed as if the whole piuce was ablaze. It turned out, however, that only the president-ia, or government building, and a few of the smaller buildings, had been set afire to by tljte rebels before they evacuated the place. Front the reports gathered by the American oftierrs, from prisoners and others, it is Irelieved that the rebel army is constantly losing strength on account of desertions, and that although the enemy may make one or two more star ds, the forces of Aguiraldo will disintegrate, in perhaps a month; to a few hundreds, who may continue waging guerrilla warfare in the mduntainu Troops llehaveU Splendidly. The American troops behaved splendidly. They dvaneed steadily against successive lines of trenches,'through woods and jungles, and suffering from frightful hes i. S In addition the American volunteers were handicfpped in fighting by the fact that their Springfield rifles sire of shorter Tang ? than the Mauser rifles in the ham it of the rebels. Under those circumstances, the steady advance of our troops is a really remarkable achievement. •

A Noteworthy Feature. liut the lust noteworthy feature of this onward. sweep of the Americans, is the patic ice and endurance of the private soldiers. They have never hesitated to plunge across any kind of difficult country, against any number of the enemy, and in the face of positions of entirely unknown strength. This afternoon the victorious American army is feasting on coeoanuts and bananas, and enjoying a wellearned res I, while the hospital train is carrying the wounded back to Manila.

MacArthur. are still resting at Malolcs, where everything has been quiet to-day. Hostilities elsewhere—so far as officially reportedr-have been limited during the last 24 hours to an occasional exchange of shots between the insurgents and the troops forming the lines of Gen. Lawton and lien, Hall, extending from the waterworks to La Lonia. But this shooting is just active enough to make the lives of the soldiers a burden and to compel the officers to sleep in trenches, clothed and in readiness to repel possible attacks. UarLbear ot Rehrillra Broken. Most of the Americans are becoming convinced that the backbone of the insurgent opposition is broken. There are numerous rumors pointing to an early collapse of the insurrection. One of these is that Gen. Pio del Pilar, the best tighter among the Filipino officers, will desert Agutnaklo, and give his support to the Americans. ] , The Buret Child Dreads the fire.

Th Spaniards* reasoning from thetr experience of the natives, refuse to believe that the rebellion is anywhere mr put down. They declare that the Filipinos will not take their defeat at Matolos* with the loss of the city and th* removal of their so-called government. seriously to heart. On the contrary.0 the Spaniards predict that the insurgents will hover near the American lines, bothering them as much as possible* and when attacked in force, dissolve, only to reappear at other points. This sort of tactics—the Spanish -say—will be followed until the wet season compels the Americans to be housed in barracks, and then the Filipinos will return and occupy such towns as the United States troops do not garrison. AVith the next dry season a repetition of the present operations will begin. , \ot FtKhtitt* Spaniards Now. Time alone will show how much there is in this theory. But as against it. must be borne in mind that the Spaniards in all their domination of the Philippines* never gave the inhabitants a demonstration of power comparable in effectiveness to that given them by the United States. Aaxloas to Give I p FlKktlag. A priest and two members of the socalled Filipino congress, who hid themselves in the woods during the fighting which preceded the capture of Malolos. returned there this morning, and declared 2,000 of the Filipino soldiers were anxious to give up fighting, and Would do so but for their officers, w ho Keep them under arms. Retnrntnig ('urryiatc White Flags. The whole country between Malolos and Calooean is now full of friendlies, women, children and old people, who are returning to their homes, carrying white flags. The Americans are trying to gain the confidence of the inhabitants by proving to them that if they will return and attend to their ordinary work, peacefully, no harm will befall them. Two hundred and fifty civilians came back to their homes in Malolos last evening. Two thousand women and children, with a sprinkling of unarmed men, supposed to be warriors. came to the outskirts of Malolos on the sea side of the city, and afterwards sneaked away, carrying all the goods they could. Who Raised the First Flajc. There has been no little good-natured rivalry as to which regiment—the First Montana or the Twentieth Kansas—is entitled to the honor of having raised its flag first in Malolos. Col. Funston and 20 men of Co. E. Kansas volunteers, claim the distinction, on the ground, as already cabled, of having entered the town at double-quick and raised the company’s flag; but the first flag to be recogiiized officially was that of Co. G, of the Montana infantry. THE CAPTURE OF MALOLOS. The Rebels Depending: I pun the Rainy Season to Flight Thetr Battles for Thesa.

Paris. April 3.—Agoncillo, the agent of Aguinaklo. in the course of an interview published in La Patrie, says: ‘‘The capture of Malolos is not as important as the Americans are trying to make it appear. The Filipinos had already determined upon removal to San Fernandio. and a small detachment of troops 'was left with orders to burn the town and thus draw the Americans ii land. 1 “Two months of rain and fever will Save the Filipinos their ammunition and a good deal of trouble, and the war will not end while a single Filipino remains to bear arms.” He charges Maj.-Gen. Otis with opening the hostilities, and holds the Americans responsible tor the -transfer o! the Spanish prisoners, and for preventing the Filipinos negotiating a treaty with Spain. Agoncillo is confined to his room with the influenza. Burled With Military Honor*. Geneva, X. Y.. April 3.—The funeral of the late Lieut.-Col. John M.

They are m violation of the law for every day they have transacted business since then. I don't want to be captions* but if the insurance companies ean’t do business here without belonging to combinations, the sooner they quit the better. 1 don’t think a single syllable of the law will be changed. It is a good law, and I think it ought to stand. It is patterned very much after the Kentucky law. If my construction of this law is hot right, the courts will settle it.

la old days professional btggars had u unhappy time of it In Greece and Rome they were flogged or put to work In the mines. The ancient Germans led beggars into the marshes and left them there to starre. In the middle ages organized charity was unknown and alms were given Indiscriminately. This put a premium on begging and the craft throve. In some jdaces permits were issued to the needy poor, giving them the right to beg,, and these permits were often forged^ When Henry VIII. was king the gypsies came to England. The common people thought they were magicians and conjurers and the gypsies lived high. Within a few years they had organized into dangerous bands, with meeting places and set rules. America is not so good a field for beggars as the continent of Europe. Borne was thes happy hunting ground for beggars until quite recently. One summer the police there arrested *00 of them. At present China is the best place for one to go who fancies begging as a profession. The police never interfere, and in some of the cities th« beggars form regular guilds, with a king and queen.
