la tbat of a man whose explolta In lata

waa an apprantioa at tbe trade in which
Rafferty azoala.
RAlTmy la not tha lleutenanrs name,
and it would not ba wise or fair to him
self, or to tha government, to hint at the
real one, for tha War department hat
started a particular rrw-ade against pub
licity, especially 11 tha matter of Kplca, of
whom tbla lieutenant la considered tha
snoet wonderful.
Rafferty Brat eame under the notice of
high offlcaal etrrlea shortly after the com

ena evening be forced his way into 'he
presence ef Froroat Marshal Ttllson at
Manila and quietly uttered a sentence that
turned the provoat's face to the color of
aahea.
"Who are your' he asked.
The soldier brought his hand to the tuv

"James Rafferty. sir first sergeant.

Tha provost marshal summoned an or

That night an attempt waa frustrated to
blow up tha wharves with dynamite. Raf

rived from Baler on the previous day, it
appeared, with aeveral prisoners, and
found, after he had turned the Moroa over
to the proper authorities, that he would
have to wait several days before be could
get a steamer returning up the coaat.
Having time to kill In Manila the sergeant
frequented the gambling hells so common
utsida the walls of the city proper. In
one of those dene be overheard a con
versation between two well-dressed Fili
pinos. They spoke freely, but In tbe Tag

American present and he waa very drunk.

around tha wharves. Another sdt. how

be made with regard to Rafferty's history,
and the effect of what he learned Is pretty
clear from what he said a few days later:
"How a man who haa been la the islands
less than six months can know the natives,
their customs and languages, as you do,
beats me hollow."
A a Es-Repotrter.
It would- be Interesting to know what
that history la. Rafferty waa born of Irish
parents In Rochester about thirty years
ago. He began active life aa a police re
porter on a Rochester dally, and In that
capacity distinguished himself for his
shrewdness and alacrity In reporting crim
inal eases. His ability In this direction
later attracted the attention of an official
of the New York Central a Hudson River
railroad, who waa worried over certain
freight robberies In the yarda. He sent
for this youthful detective and gave him
the case, with tho result that Rafferty
waa Instrumental In sending several crook
to Jail.
When the Spanish-American war broke
out, Rafferty. yielding ' to bla hv of ad
venture. Joined an infantry regiment. He
waa then much as be Is now a brawny
Celt, sis feet In height, f sir-haired, and
bearing a striking facial resemblance to
Lord Kitchener.
Before Company K sailed from 8an Fran
cisco Rafferty waa .made a flrsts sergeant.
When the troop landed at Manila It was at
once ordered to the relief of the besieged
town of Baler. Here a handful of fever
smitten Spaniards held the garrison against
the Moroa, hemmed to on on side by a
reef-torn sea and on th other by almost
Impassable mountain.
DlsaaUed as a Friar.
Th troop of which Rafferty was first
sergeant cut a difficult way through th
mountain wilderness to the reecu of the
Spaniards against the common enemy, th
Moros. While enrout Rafferty distin
guished himself as a scout. Several times
be saved the company from ambush and
almoat certain massacre by his Intrepid
daring. Dressed aa a mendicant friar be
would travel through the Jungle Into the
Mora camps and villages, picking up
threads of plots and Information of In
tended attacks upon the Uttl troop. This
man would be absent for days at a time,
and consternation would reign among his
comrades, among whom Rafferty waa
highly popular. Then this adventurous
scout would suddenly turn up la the most
extraordinary manner, sometimes aa a na
tive, again In his favorite disguise of
mendicant brother, and oocaalonally as
himself, tattered, bruised and starving,
crawling out of the wilderness with Infor
mation that prepared th camp again A
every ruao on the part ef th treacherous
Moros.
It was as sergeant of the guard over
soms Mores captured In the Baler affair
that Rafferty arrived In Manila In time to
avert tbe probable catastrophe of th
quartermaster stores. After that It was
thought necessary to have the redoubtable
sergeant In Manila all the time. II was
glvea general commission th And out
things." and many a plot h unearthed
while ha was there.
Case ad the moat IrteTaactaa; affairs la
which he was concerned was when he
neatly turned up a clever scheme on the
part of the Filipinos to create havoc In
Manila. Rafferty himself always laugh
ingly alludes to the matter as "my prayer
for the soul of General Lawton." Here Is
the story as told by a brother officer.
Rafferty used to make a custom of at
tending chapel very regularly while be was
In Manila. In fact, he never missed a day
that he did not attend two or three In vari
ous parts of tbe town and several church
functions. There was method In this re
ligious mania. He discovered that the
priests were on the side of tbe Insurgents,
believing that th American conquest of
the Islands would mean the overthrow of
their ecclesiastical power. Many priest
were dangerous spies, he found, and many
ot the Filipino servants were foroed t
spy upon their American masters and over
hear and report their conversations.
Rafferty learned that the Insurgent plot
ters were fully Informed as to the rout to
be taken by th cortege bearing th body
of General Lawton to the steamer bound
for San Francisco, and that they had
formulated a dastardly plot In that connec
tion. Sisvea 4 tae Sskfe.

PERIL IN HEADACHE CURES
Health Bares of Chirac Flaws te
Teat th Dree a the
Market.
The health department plans to make
analysis ef the many headache powders
old In Chicago. Alderman Butterworth,
chairman f th health committee of the
council, will Introduce an order at the
council meeting directing that the Investi
gation be stsrted.
The department ha received many com
plaint recently regarding th character of
these powders, 'some physicians declaring
they contain drugs detrimental to those
who take them. More than 50 per cent of
thee powders, sceordlng to information
received by the department, contain poison
and If taken In sufficient quantity will pro
duce death.
Women are the largest users of headache
powders and It Is said they frequently as
them to excess, to the Injury of their
health. Many new powders are placed on
the market each year. The health depart
ment has no official knowledge of the char
acter of these medicines. It Is to gain that
Information tha test will be made by ths
city chemist. Hugo Jons, and his assistant.
Dr. W. 8. Maharg.
If th tests con Arm th information al
ready received by th department. It Is
probable tbe council will be asked to adopt
an ordinance restricting the sale of the
powders.
Several years ago the department made
aa Investigation of certain medicines en th
market and found that over 60 per cent of
those analysed detrimental to tbe health
of the users.
Two physicians who have made privet
teats of headache powders claim many con
tain acetanllld, an tl pyrin r other eoal
tar products. The amount In each powder
Is a reasons ble dose, ofi.n aa much as ten
or twelve grains. That amount will not
Injurs snyone, but when a person takes
several powder there Is said to be a lia
bility of evil result.
Persons with weak hearts are liable to be
killed by taking several powders of certain
brands. These drugs reduce tbe action of
the heart, thereby relieving pain, but aa
overdose for person with slow circulation
Is liable to be fatal.
Dr. Maharg said recently that thee pow
der should not be sold Indiscriminately.
They should be sold only on the pre
scription of licensed physicians, hs said.
"Who pel sens are permitted to get thee
urea tat almoat say quantity they deep
thos who are Indiscreet are Cable to take
them tn the same way.
"Many believe that U ane powder la guod
two are twice as good and so on, when as a
matter of faot one may be placing his llfs
In danger by taking the seeond dose. Anti
pyrlne U a useful drug In allaying fever
and other things, but certainly no reput
able physician will assert tbat Its Indi
scriminate use Is advisable.
"Persons have been killed by taking head
ache powders, according to medical rec
ords, and there are probably many victims
whose cases are not brought to the atten
tion of the authorities. Th council has
limited the sale of poison because of the
number of suicides, and I see no reason
why action restricting th sal of headache
powders would not be for the publlo wel
fare" Chicago Chronicle.
