CONVERSION BY GRtSliFHOXK.
In the conversion of Marshall Oiier
Waggoner of Toledo the late Robert
G. Ingersoll's followiug Io.mjs a com
rade and mechanism scores a signal
triumph. For years Mr. Waggoner
has been one of the characters of the
Ohio city and one of the most pro
nounced and consistent agnostics in
the west, says the Times-Herald. His
collection of agnostic and atheistic
literature is considered one of the
most comple'to in the country, yet, as
proof of the genuineness of his change
of heart, he will burn these bjoks be
fore the door of one of Toledo's
churches in a few days.
Convinced a short time sio that his
views on matters religious were not
so comforting as of yore, that he held
them less tenaciously, Mr. Waggoner,
true to his character of honesty, set
about to more carefully study the ar
guments advanced bj' believers in the
Christian religion. He arranged a
complete church service hymns, ser
mon, prayers, all but the collection
on the cylinder of a gramaphone.
Then he wound the machine up, set it
going and seriously pondered ail it
said and sung to him. He ended his
unique service with "Hock of Ages,"
and it was while listening to this
hymn, which has carried com'ort to
counliess thousands, that, as he puts
it, "light came to ra, and with it a
consciousness that my sins had been
forgiven."
Believing now what he has hereto
fore for the seventy-two years oT his
life systematically scoffed at, Mr.
Waggoner will consign his atheistic
library to flames before the door of a
church, thus following the example of
Martin Luther in the seventeenth
century. Could he give better proof
of his conversion than this? If
agnostic and atheistic writings have
misled him for over three score years.
can he be censured for wishing to dis
pose of them in such a way that they
will do him no further harm or fall
into tbe hands of other men? It can
not be said that his conversion is Que
to emotionalism, or the influence of
some enthusiastic evangel. Nothing
can be less emotional than a piece of
macninery. 1 He scientific toy would
seem to have a serious mission to ful
fill. The Journal almost fell over itself
in its last Issue in commending Cor-
oner John S iitler for refusing to go to
Eimwood to hold an inquest over the
remains of the man Myers, who was
drowned tl ere last week. The fact of
the matter wa9 that a number of the
companions of Myers were near at
hand and some of them saw him go
under the water, and it was well
known there could be no chance of
foul play. It is pretty certain that
had there bean any show the wiley
coroner would have been on hand with
his regular panel

policy on the life of a Chinaman the
first ever written for a man of that
race in Pittsburg. How the insuranct

man had no very clear idea. He only
understood that if he paid the pre
miums promptly he would be entitled
to five thousand dollars at some future
time. He began bothering tk
agent for the money after a couple of
weeks had passed, and the agent tried
to explain to him that he would have
to die before any one could get it. Then
the Chinaman fell down a cellarway
on Grant street and was badly hurt.
His friends tried to attend to him

Manila, Aug. 17. 8 a. m. The
Twelfth infantry left Calulet at sun
rise today and advanced up the rail
way. Captain Evans' battalion de
ployed to the right of the track and
Captain Woods' to the left. Two com
panies remained on the track with the
artillery. Tbe insurgents were found
well intrenched in front of the town,
the trenches having been dug within
a few days and since the occupation of
Calulet. At a distance of 1,500 yards
the Filipinos opened fire.
Their force was estimated by Col
onel SmitV at 1,500, although the resi
dents atterward saii it exceeded those
figures by 1,000. The enemy sen
heavy volleys against the whole Amer
ican line. Most of their shooting', as
usual, was high, but they concentrated
their heaviest fire down the track on
the artillery. Colonel Smith kept th
whole line moving rapidly with fre
quent rushes. The insurgents at
tempted to flank Captain Evans and
therefore, two companies were sent to
the right and drove them back.
Abandon the Trenches.
Unable to stand our continuous vol
leys the Filipinos abandoned the
trenches and retreated through the
town northward. It appears that they
had only received their supply of am
munition this morning. Had they
been attacked sooner they could have
made little resistance.
The intense heat caused much suf

One American officer received a slight
wound on the face. Lieutenant How-

New York, Aug. 16. A Journal
dispatch from Manila says: The Fili

Angeles today. Ten companies of ihe
Twe'fth infantry, with two cannon, at
tacked 2,500 insurgents, who were in
trenched near the town.
A fierce fight followed, in which tbe
Filipinos were worsted and driven
away in disorder. Their loss was 200
men. The Americans had two killed
and twelve wounded.
The Twelfth occupies Angeles and
is holding the town.
Manila, Aug. 16.-5:20 p m. The
insurgents have been concentrating
for two days before Angeles.
It is officially announced that Col
onel Smith with ten companies of the
Twelfth regiment and two guns of
Battery E of the First artillery, under
Lieutenant Kemley, this morning at
tacked 2,500 strongly entrenched in
surgents at the southern approach to
Angeles and drove them back after a.
sharp fight, the American troops los
ing two men killed and twelve
wounded. Tbe insurgent lots was
estimated at 200 men.
Our force will hold Angeles. About
200 insurgents appeared this morning
in front of Dolores, a short distance
north of Porac, but they were driven
off by one company of the Twelfth
regiment under command of Captain
Anglum. One American was wounded.

Otis:
Manila, Aug. 16. Adjutant Gen

occupy country from Candalia to a
point near Angeles, thence toward
Porac, taking within his line Santa

Scrofula, a Vile
Inheritance.
Scrofula is the most obstinate of blood
troubles, and is often the result of an
inherited taint in the blood. S. S. S.
is the only remedy which goes deep
enough to reach Scrofula ; it forces out
every trace of the disease, and cures
the worst cases.
My son, Clmrli, was afflicted from Infancy
With Scrofula, and he mnVrod so that It was
Jmpossililo to dress him
for throe years. His
bead a id body were a
mass of son . -i, and bU
eyesight also became
affected. No treatment
was spared that we
thoutit would relieve
him. but he uicw worse' I
UUlll ills rnuumuii a.s y - - ' j ,
Indeed pitmtile. I liail 1 1
almost ili'soitired of his i !
ever bcinir cured, when S-
by the ailvieeof a. friend '
we piw him S. s.. s,. n
(Swift'S Sroeiilo). A de
cided Improvement was the result, and after
he hud taken a dozen lxittles, no one who kne
of his former dreadful condition would have
recognized him. All the sores oti bis Mdv
have healed, bis skin Is perfectly cb-nr and
smooth, and h has been resiored to tM-rfcul
health. Mks. s. S. Maiikv,

For real blood troubles it is a waste
of time to expect a cuhs from the doe
tors. Blood diseases aro beyond their
skill. Swift's S'ocific,
For
reaches all deep-seated cases which
other remedies luive no effect upon. It
is the only blood remedy guaranteed
purely vegetable, and contains no pot
ash, mercury, or other mineral.
