- In a lottcr to his family In this city Mr.
Thomas Swobn gives the following descrip
tion of the city of Jolo , capital of the Island
of that name.
JOLO , Dec 1 , ISM. Wo arrived hero
at da > llght joBterday morning and I
came ashore about 0 o'clock. I ex
pected to find a very pretty place from
tbo description 1 had had from poveral who
bad been here. I was , however , happily dis
appointed. Its beauty far exceeded my ex
pectations.
The facts nre that no.pcn can fully de
scribe or brush portray the beauty of Jolo.
It Is a dream a beautiful park , Its streets
shaded with palm and locust trees , forming
a perfect bower overhead and a dense shade.
It la a walled city. The pa-vements arc sand
pounded down ; It Is very smooth and clean
and there arc no horses and carriages here
In the city ; no carts nor vehicles of any
description , except two-wheeled push carts
brought hero by our army , and very few of
them.
Thcro are about 1,500 Inhabitants here In
the walled city , some of them Chinese , a few
Japs and the balance native. Two of the
largest stores are run by Hindoos. There
are four or five saloons and three or four
grocery stores , and nbout as many dry goads
and notions. It Is compactly built , except
here and there a plaza.
The Island la governed by a sultan. They
nro mostly Mohammedans and are a queer
looking people. Their principal sport Is cock
lighting. A native without a good game cock
Is no good.
Yesterday being Thanksgiving day gave
them an opportunity to claim a holiday for
themselves and the quartermaster and com
missary departments vtere compelled to re
main closed a. good portion of the day be
cause they could get no natives to work.
All the heavy work Is flono by natives , such
as loading and unloading ships. They are
very strong In their backs and can carry all
you can load on them. One of them carried
four sacks of flour from the dock to the
commissary storehouse , a distance of four
blocks , a few days ago , on a wagor.
Cliuticu of hlntloiiH.
I am hero awaiting the retuin of General
Bates , who commands this district. Ho Is
away on a tour of Inspection around the
Islands and is expected back tomorrow. I
am fully convinced from the turn affairs
have taken that the headquarters of this
district will be changed from here to Zam-
boango on Mindanao Island , about eighty
miles from here , and I will be located there.
It Is a larger and much more important
jilaco than this and Is far more centrally
located , and will bo made the base of sup
plies for the Sulu archipelago , and I will
have to .supply the troops on the different
Islands from tha point , J I am yet un
settled. Mindanao Island Is the second
largest of the group of the Philippines and
will In time be an Important Island from a
military point
Wo are about 100 miles from Borneo and
less than 200 from the equator. The nights
arc cool and pleasant , but It gets frightfully
hot during the day. I like the climate bet
ter than at Manila , and our small army
hero certainly looks healthy , and all speak
highly of the climate. They have been heru
for several months and for nearly a year
prior to coming hero In Manila and vi
cinity , and speak from experience.
General Bates , who was at one tlmo eta-
tloncd at Omaha , Is In command of this
district. Will Cowln Is an aide on his staff
He Is away with the general , so I have not
Been him yet. The ofllcere hcie say he was
nulto well when ho left
No mall had been received at Manila up
to the time I left there that had been sen
from San Francisco between October B am
SO. It was on a ship that had its shaf
broken In mid-ocean , was sighted by one o
our ships and said It would be laid up a
week longer for repalrt' and would then
/ t tart on Its voyage. They expected It a
Manila about December 1. It takes from
ono to three weeks longer to get moll here
from the United States than It does to go
to Manila , so if my letters are a llttlo slow

Mrs Catherine Smith has filed suit against
ho city of Columbus , Kan. , for $13,000 for
damages sustained by theV habitual drunk
enness of her husband , which she alleges
s due to the fact that the city permitted
saloons to be run in violation of the law.
The proprietors of all the drinking places
n the town and the owners of the buildings
n which they nro located are made party
defendants. Naturally the affair attracts
; reat attention. One opinion Is that Mrs.
Smith cannot possibly win her suit , but
others contend that If the city Is not re
sponsible for the condition of Mr. Smith
the many lawn restituting the sale of liquor
are meaningless.

A certain woman , says the Wichita Eagle ,
desired the arrest of the Joint keeper who
had been selling whisky to her drunken

the Joint , she was told by blm to pick out
the proprietor. Seven men , all looking
alike and dressed alike , were standing mo
tionless around a whisky barrel , and she
could not tell which was the one , but she
stepped to the barrel and turned the- spigot
and the liquor began to pour out on the
ncor. One of the men sprang out of the
circle and turned the spigot off. "Arrebt
that man ! " she sa'.J. But was she right ?
Was It more likely to be the proprietor who
would thus plead guilty and go to Jail , or
some Innocent man with an unquenchable
thirst who was horrified at seeing the
awful waste ?

I'ubllc attention has been FO absorbed In
polltlcH ( for the post decade or two , so for
as Ireland is concerned , tbnt the social and , ,
Industrial regeneration which has been going - ' 1
ing on has been almost entirely overlooked. !
Yet It has been so far riMchlng and rapid ,
there have been such great changes for the
better In the last twenty jcars chiefly-
thai wo can now cay , gladly and truthfully ,
Ireland Is a regenerated country.
The changes In wajs and means have been
so radical as to surprise outsiders Tbo pic
ture of Ireland In the foreign mind today Is
. ,
that of the Ireland of half a century ago
The real Ireland Is different. It Is now
comparatively prosperous and Its people are
comparatively happy. Kxcept In n fo\v moro
remote and barren parts , the former hard
struggle | for exlstcncu is not known today
and the pinch of hunger Is not felt. We
have more case , more leisure , moro of the
comforts of life , and we look forward with
less anxiety to the morrow.

oled land laws though still far from perfect
have given to the poor struggling farmer ,
a certain security to which he was a Btranger.
His rent Is lower and he la not -withheld
from Improving his land by the apprehen
sion of Increased rack rent Partly as a
consequence of this and partly as a consequence
quence of the possession of a little moro
wealth , his land Is better tilled nnd drained
and ho rears more stock and of a better
quality. The resulting ease of mind Is con
ducive to enlightenment nnd moral progress.
We have no system of compulsory education ,
but the Irishman's respect for learning am
ply fills Its place. No matter how much ho
needs his children's work at home or on the
farm , they are sent off every day ono or two
or three Irish miles to the little national
)
school. So , of the rising generation In Ire
land , fully 95 oer cent will bo educated. 1 i

It would have been absurd even to dream
of such a state of things fifty years ago. It
has been variously estimated that from half
a million to a million people died of starva-
tlon in the years 1846. 1847 and 1848 , though
Ireland's shipping ports were thronged with
ships laden with cattle and corn for export.
A futllo revolution of Young Irelanders gave
tbo English government the excuse to ad-
vacate the shipping of our people to Amor- i
lea and elsewhere , and the landlords con- '
eluded that bullocks and Scotchmen would
bo more profitable on the green hills of Ire
land than the troublesome Celt. So scourged
by three scourges , the landlords , the gov
ernment and the famine , our people were
driven to the ports and Into the famine
ships , and hundreds of thousands swarmed
westward over the ocean.
The history of the emigration of these
years waa second only In Its eadndis and
tearfulness to the history of the famine It
self , for untold thousands of those huddled
together In these plague ships perished on
the ocean. Ever since , from the old Ireland
to the new , there has been a white way un
der the ocean paved with the bones of myri
ads who were harried and hurried from their
hcmes nnd their hills. Yet in spite of it all ,
Ireland is today a country of Celts and pros
perity , nnd , because of It nil , there Is today
a greater nnd a moro prosperous Ireland in
the now world.
Of the several causes which have united
to bring prosperity and progress back to the
old Ireland , I believe there has been no
mo7d Important factor than the new Ireland
the Ireland that has grown up and flour
ished and born plentiful fruit In the United
States of America.

lion has America benefited Ireland' In
several wajs. It hab benefited Ireland ,
primarily , by the vast sums of money which
have been flowing In a steady stream east
ward over the ocean In the last half century.
It has benefited Ireland by relieving Its con
gestion , and It has benefited Ireland by Its
moral Influence. i '
The flow of cash from America to
Ireland cannot easily be realized. It Ins
been far greater than any parson only su-
porflcinlly acquainted with the facts could
suspect. To get an adequate Idea of It , one
must have lived amongst the peasantry In
remote parte. where every family Is repre
sented by one , or two , or three , or five 'n '
America , and where the American letter ,
with Its unfailing money order , is ever
coming When the bov and the girl leave
home for the New Island ( as It Is put in
our Gaelic ) the one thought ever present
In their minds Is. net how they will benefit
themselves , but how they vvl'l ' benefit the
father and mother and the brother and al *
ters they leave behind. And of nil the e.
the nuirber U very , very small that over

The sums remitted by theie bojs and
girls furnish three at home with the meaaa
to till and t stock their land much better
than they did before and to live In much
greater ease nnd comfort. There Is no more
touching and beautiful phase of this ques
tion than that presented by the Irish serv
ant girls of America , who I'll sorely and

Because of reasons for which we nre not
to ( blame and our excuse Itr > written larije
over ( the last few centuries of our history
. wo were not recently , as a people , so en
lightened | as wo might have been , but to
day ( enlightenment Is gaining wonderfully
among us.
After the public school system the returned
.
turned Yankee has been the principal educator
cater in all the remote districts. By the
winter fireside , at the wake and the wed
ding , or the gatherings on the hillside or
the roadside in summer , he draws around
him a circle of neighbors who hang upon
his words whilst ho scatters the seeds of
knowledge and of broader views which he
has gained beyond the seas.
( An emlsrant who came hero from a re
mote district In Ireland thirty or forty
years ago tells how , when ho emerged
from a railway depot In Chicago , three or
four carriages swept by llko a whirlwind ,
drawn by great horses that struck fire from
the pavement at every leap , the whole keep
ing up a terrific ringing , whistling and din.
They were fire engines rushing to a con-
Pagratlon , of course , but be did not know
this. Ho says bo stood calmly by while
they passed. He had become quite steeled
against wonder and looked quietly upon what
ho supposed to be the native Chlcagoan
driving to hi ? business. Such a mistake
would not ojcur with the emigrant of to
day.

A further good lesson that our people have
learned from the Yankees Is that of Inde-
ptiidcnco and democratic equalltv. Two dc-
i cades ago it was a rare treat to observe the

with chin in the air. a look of calm Indif
ference In his eye and his hat seemingly
glued to his head , no * a mere stay-at-

Ho ba-j learned well the lessen that it
Rkculd ho In Ireland as It has always been
In America , where "one man Is as good as
another and a d d sight better. "
Finally the steady , heavy drain cf emigra
tion , which went on unceasingly for forl >
years , relieved the congestion of the coun
try and left more case and elbow room for
these at home. Where formerly the parent
had to divide his alreadytoo small patch of
farm land between three or four sons , he
later needed to divide It between two enl ) ,

I have used one bottle of "Wine of Careful ; but it has done me more good
than any other medicine I have ever taken , I feel like a new woman , I can
highly recommend Wine of Cardui above all other medicines.
Mrs. L. S , REDDEN.
The charm of youth is too often lost by abuse and neglect. Nature resents neglect. When a slight' '
menstrual disorder first appears , it causes little inconvenience , and a woman thinks that it will soon
pass away. Hut RS the years pass , the sparkling eyes dim , the rosy cheeks sallow , and girlhood's & ,
buoyant health gives way to woman's suffring and despair , She looks back over the past , envious of ' r * „
the joys of her childhood. It is the health she has lost that she craves.
To such women Wine'of Cardui conies bringing perfect relief. The relief is speedy. It is per
manent. It was this simple vegetable remedy \\hicli made Sirs. Redden "a new woman" . Relief after
taking this remedy provided by Nature is as sure as Nature's laws ere unvarying , Pains in the back
and hips disappear when Wine of Cardui is taken. In relieving falling of the \voniband irregular menstruation jt stops the unnatural drain
" . . . . . . .

taking Wiue of Cardui. „
