AMNESTY BRINGS JOY TO FILIPINOS

Gov. Taft’s Secretary Reads the President’s Proclamation at Manila. AGUINALDO TO LEAVE ISLANDS Noted Leader Will Remain in the Philippines for a Fortnight and Then Determine on His Future Home. A storm of enthusiasm entered Manila on the Fourth and swept through the archipelago because of the proclamation of peace and amnesty issued by President Roosevelt. It was the grandest demonstration since the occupation of the country by the Americans and was the first complete public recognition of general peace. The Filipinos celebrated the day with supreme satisfaction and rejoiced over the amnesty and general forgiveness for past offenses. Manila itself responded to the invitation of the municipal boards, and decorated the city for miles with bunting and American flags, plentifully interspersed with those of other nations. The whole made a grand cosmopolitan display. Cheer Wright ancf Chaffee. There was a parade of 3,000 troopjp, many civic societies and members of the federal party and the workingmen’s union. The last named halted at the grana stand and gave three cheers for Acting Governor Wright and General Chaffee, who reviewed the parade.

Gen. Chaffee will formally notify Aguinaldo that the guard at present around him will be withdrawn. It is probable that the ex-dictator will remain here for a fortnight until he has decided upon a new home. Crowds of Filipinos thronged Ahe streets of Manila. They were curious as to what had happened, but made no demonstration. The Filipinos who were deported to Guam will not know of the amnesty proclamation until a transport stops there on the way from San Francisco.

WORTHY OF J. P. MORGAN.

Boy Exhibits Qualities Which Stamp Him as a Coming Financier. He was only a small boy, but in the eight years of his existence he’d learned to be terribly mean. “I’ll give you this nice big apple,” he said one day to a pretty little damsel of his own age, “if you’ll let me kiss you twenty times with your eyes shut.'* She was a shy and modest little girl, but the apple was a temptation, and she succumbed.“Mind,” said the boy, “if you open your eyes you don’t get the apple.” The apple-bought maiden - closed her eyes. “Smack! That’s one,” said the boy. An interval followed. “Smack!” Another interval. “Smack!” "Willie is making them last out,” thought the girl. At last the twentieth kiss was given. ’’’That's twenty; may I open my eyes, Willie?” asked the.little lady. • "I’m not Wtllie,” replied the boy who’d just given her a full-sized smack. “Willie’s down the street, selling your kisses at two apples a time. You’d best not open your eyes yet, as he’s taken in a heap of apples and the next six boys are awful ugly.”

Saved the Baby.

New Providence, lowa, July 7th.— Little Helen Moon, the three-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. V. Moon of this place, had a narrow escape from death. Her mother noticed she semed to be very clumsy and complained when she was rocked. Her limbs and face were bloated badly. A doctor was summoned but she got no better. He said she had Kidney Trouble in The worst form. Two other doctors were called in and they agreed that there was very little, if any, hope. She was bloated all over, her eyes being completely closed and her abdomen bloated until it was purple. They bought six boxes of Dodd’s Kidney Pills and she commenced to improve at once. She had used nine boxes before the Dropsy was alj gone. The treatment was continued and now she is as well as ever. Dodd’s Kidney Pills certainly saved the little one’s life.

Concerning the Number Seven.

Numerous are the queer beliefs concerning the number seven, says the St. James Gazette. From the very earliest ages the seven great planets were known and ruled this world, and the dwellers in it, and their number entered into every conceivable matter that concerned man. There are seven days in the week, “seven holes in the head, for the master stars are seven,” seven ages for both man and the world in which he lives. There are seven material heavens. There are seven colors in the spectrum, and seven notes ,in the diatonic octave, and the “leading” note of the scale is the seventh. Be it noted that the seventh son is not always gifted with beneficent powers. In Portugal he is believed to be subject to the powers of darkness and to be compelled every Saturday evening to assume the likeness of an ass.

Essay on Animals.

Congressman Lacey of lowa has contributed to the Congressional Record an essay in which he says: “The buffalo was the noblest of all the wild animals that inhabited this country when America was discovered. He was a gentleman among beasts, just as the game hog is a beast among gentlemen.”

White Slates.

It is the opinion of a German oculist that the use of ordinary slates by school children tends to produce short-sightedness. As a substitute he recommends pen and ink, or an artificial white slate with black pencil. The latter have been introduced in some of the German schools.

DELIGHTFUL EASTERN TRIPS.

The Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Ry. has just issued a new summer book, “Lake Shore Tours,” showing a selected list of eastern resorts, with routes and rates. Copy will be sent on application to C. F. Daly, Chief A. G. P. A.. Chicago. The average who picks up a railroad time folder doej not realize tne enormous amount of work which the preparation of such a publication involves. The big Burlington System, for Instance, has a general time folder made up from sixteen dif!erent division operating time tables. The folder contains 2,000 names of towns, gives the schedules of over 500 trains, and whenever there is a change in time, sixty thousand figures have to be carefully checked and corrected. Stockholm has practically one telephone for every ten inhabitants.

Too Energetic with His Pen.

There used to be a picturesque North Carolina mountaineer named Wiley Shook, in the capitol, says the Washington Post He was a doorkeeper, or something of the kind, and his quaint sayings and his blue shirt made him quite famous. One day he wrote a long letter to a newspaper, in which he scored President McKinley rather severely on the civil service question. The letter was so clever that it attracted wide attention. “Who is Wiley Shook?” asked the president, speaking to Senator Pritchard. “He is a constituent of mine who works at the capitol,” said the senator. “Well,” said the president, “if any friend of mine attacked you, I wouldn’t keep him near me.” Senator Pritchard needed no further hint and ShooK was literally shaken. He went back to North Carolina, -where he became a deputy collector. He is now in trouble again, for he has written a letter personally attacking Senator Simmons, and the latter has demanded his scalp. Mr. Shook seems to be entirely too energetic with his pen.

Studio in a Tree Trunk.

In Golden Gate park, in San Francisco, Cal., is the trunk of a gigantic tree, which is being put into the very odd use of a sculptor’s studio. It offers plenty of room for stands, models, mounds of clay, and spectators, for the immense tree butt has been hollowed out till it forms a room a little over thirty-five feet across. The outside diameter of the trunk is thirty-eight feet nine inches. When standing in its native glory the tree was over 325 feet high. Its trunk is now a relic of the big Midwinter fair, held in Golden Gate park in 1893.

BARBER WAS ON EASY STREET.

But He Failed to Reassure the Nervous Customer. William De Long, Commissioner Dougherty’s right-hand man in the Department of Water Supply, Gas and Electricity, tells this: “There used to be a Dutch barber who kept a place in the city here. He had an assistant who was just about as Dutch as the boss, but the assistant thought the boss about tho meanest man on earth. Every time he got a customer in the chair he would tell him all about the boss. One day he had a man all fixed, face lathered, and head laid back. Then ho began his tale of woe as he stropped the razor: “ ‘Mine poss iss der meanest man. He charches me 10 cends if I cud a man und a quarter if I gash him." “The assistant went on stropping and the man in the chair was beginning to get uneasy, for it seemed to be a settled thing that every custimer would have something happen to him. He waited in silence. Presently the assistant resumed: “ ‘Pud I don’t care to-day.’ “ ‘Why?’ inquired the customer. “ ‘Pecause I vun fife dollars on der races yesterday and I mide as veil spend Id dat vay as any odder.’ "The customer suddenly remembered that he had to catch a train.” — New Times.

The Women Also Reconv mend Pe-'TU/'na. Miss Blanch Grey, 174 Alabama street, Memphis, Tenn,, a society woman of Memphis, writes: “To a society woman whose nervous force is often taxed to the utmost from lack of rest and irregular meals I know of nothing which is of so much benefit as Peruna. I took it a few months ago when I felt my strength giving away, and it soon made itself manifest in giving me new strength and health.”—Miss Blanch Grey. Mrs.X.Schneider, 2409 Thirty-seventh Place, Chicago, 111., writes: “After taking several remedies without result, I began last year to take your valuable remedy, Peruna. I was a complete wreck. Had palpitation of the heart, cold hands and feet, female weakness, no appetite, trembling, sinking feeling nearly all the time. You said I was suffering from systemic catarrh, and I believe that I received your help in the nick of time. I followed your directions carefully and can 6ay to-day that lam well again. I cannot thank you enough for my cure.” Peruna cures catarrh wherever located. Peruna is not a guess nor an experiment—it is an absolute scientific certainty. Peruna has no substitutes—no rivals. Insist upon having Peruna. A free book written by Dr. Hartman on the subject of catarrh in its different phases and stages, will be sent free to any address by the Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, Ohio. Catarrh is a systemic disease curable only by systemic treatment. A remedy that cures catarrh must aim directly at the depressed nerve centers. This is what Peruna does. If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Ur. Hartman, giving a full statement of your ease and ho will be pleased to give you liis valuable advice gratis. Address Dr. ITartman, Pesident of The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, ().
