A physician says the only wholesome part of the old-fashioned doughnut is the hole. A man's own good breeding is the best security against the ill-manners of other people. Men who live on little are called economists and men who live on noth ing are called tramps. As a rule shallow men are despised, but all the same they don't require as much watching as deep ones. Leading musicians are in favor of a lower musical pitch. Patrons of the opera are also in favor of a lower scale of admission. Mayor Jones of Toledo has adopted “The Man with the Hoe” as the sign militant of hie political career. When the mayor has hoed his way to Co lumbus under that sign he will proba bly appreciate it better. Commissioner of Immigration Pow derly has Issued an order excluding from this country a number of Fili pinos who were being brought here for exhibition purposes. Probably he thinks the best thing for one to do who la pining for a sight of these peo ple is to shoulder a musket and join some regiment destined for service near Manila. The admission fees to a recent prize fight in New York exceeded $85,000, the largest amount ever received for any single performance. This has been cited as a startling commentary upon the times. Bloody noses and cracked crowns, however, are not the delight of the vast majority of our people, nor are bounce and bluster yet widely ac cepted as the principal virtues of the world. The city of New York, now second only to London in Us volume of trade, had hut a slow growth for more than a century and a half after It was set tled by the Dutch. President Low of Columbia university cites a prediction uttered more than 150 years ago, and then regarded as rash, to the effect that the port at the mouth of the Hud aon might in time become the com mercial rival of Newport, R. I., which had grown rich by the African slave trade. The conscienceless land dealer seems to have turned his attention to Alaska farming properties. The Juneau Miner calls attention to the fact that the pa pers of the central west are publishing advertisements of an Iowa man who proposes to sell at $3 per acre "a soil of very deep, dark loam, will grow all kinds of vegetabes, grain, bay in abun dance; climate splendid; crop failure unknown; adapted to the raising of cattle, sheep and hogs, dairy and poul try Industries." This, the Miner says, Is nothing less than a fraud on the public, and that It is "criminal to hold out inducements to 100 families that they can find governm"at land in Alaska upon which ther'i has been no failure of crops." We aope the un wary will take note of this caution. The popular Impression of the effect cf ccld on disease germs has been made the excuse for gros3 carelessness about cleanliness In domestic and pub lic processes and places. A low tem perature has been considered a release from sanitary precautions. With the error, truth has had an unequal strug gle. An account of experiments with liquid air ought to open the eyes of the sanitarily blind. The temperature cf liquid air is over three hundred de- ’ grees below zero, and the bacillus of diphtheria and the bacillus of typhoid fever exposed to such freezing condi tions were neither killed nor checked in growth. The specialist who made the experiment declares that so far as our present knowledge permits of Its j application, cold canuot be relied on as a disinfectant. __ < onsuiar reports te'l u« that there is an opportunity for American windmill I makers to secure a market fur their product In Greece According to the.e teporis the Islands and mainland of Greece possess Innumerable small f irms, laid nut In vineyards vegetable rardena and orunge and lemon groves.

AM[R!C4N TROOPS SlfftR LOSS Town I* Entered Without Stran; lte*l*t iincc, Troop* Approaching In Three Column*—Colored Troop* In the Ad vance— Com of the Enemy About Twenty Killed. MANILA, Aug. 14.—A reconnots snnee by troops of General Samuel IL Young's brigade with the purpose of discovering the whereabouts of the enemy near San Mateo, northeast of the San Juan reservoir, about ten miles from Manila, resulted in the oc cupation of San Mateo. '1 he American loss was three killed and thirteen wounded, including a lieutenant of the Twenty-first Infan try. The Americans approached San Mu teu in three columns. Major Cronin, with fifteen men of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, advanced from Novaliches, live miles west of San Mateo. Captain Rivers, with 100 men of the Fourth cavalry, and Captain Parker, formerly Jleuteant colonel of the Twelfth New York volunteer regiment, wi'.h io0 men of the Twenty-first and Twenty fourth infantry and the Fourth caval ly, approached in two columns from the south. Major Cronin experienced many dif ficulties, arising from the condition of the country, and failed to effect a Junction with Captain Rivers, west of San Mateo, as had been planned. Captain Rivers advancing, took an outpost of the enemy two miles south west of San Mateo. He then encount ered strong resistance among the hills, the enemy firing from excellent posi tions. Having failed to connect with Major Cronin and seeing that the town was already occupied by the Americans, Captain Rivers withdrew', covering his withdrawal with a heavy volley. He lost a sergeant killed. Captain Parker on advancing found the enemy strongly entrenched on the far side of some rice fields about a mile wide and covered with deep mud. Pushing forward rapidly, he routed the Filipinos after forty minutes of fighting and then continued the march upon San Mateo, which he entered without serious resistance about 1:30 In the afternoon. Major Cronin entered the town about 4:30. The Ameriians still occupy the place. Our men were exhausted by the heavy marching. Twenty-three of the enemy are known to have been killed. This is the first action in which Colonel Hurt’s colored troops partici pated. They behaved well, their lead er’s having difficulty in holding them back. Genera! Young accompanied Captain Parker's column and was under fire throughout the engagement. It is estimated the enemy numbered between 300 and 400 men. INSURGtNTS STILL ACTIVf. They Take Ihe Affrmhi an<l Make Our Troop* Considerable Tronlile. MANILA, Aug. 14.—The insurgents have taken the aggressive in the neighborhood of the railroad. On Sat urday night they unsuccessfully at tacked San Luis, on the llio Grande near Calumpit, which is garrisoned by two companies of the Twenty-sec ond infantry. The Americans had one man. a sergeant, killed and two pri vates wounded. Yesterday morning a similar affair took place at Gringua, four miles west of Malolos. where another small gar rison is stationed as a safeguard ngalnst a possible attuck upon rail way. A special train took reinforce ments to Malolos and Guiginto, just north of Bulacan. While the Seventeenth infantry dur ing last Tuesday’s Hat tie was approach ing t’alumpit along the road, the troops saw a group of fifty Filipinos outside the town under a flag of truce. Some who were in while clothing held up their hands to signify that they were unarmed. Captain Hart with a detachment advanced cautiously to a point within 200 yards of them, when the Filipino picked up their guns and ; fired a volley. The Americans dropped : into file bushes unhurt on the first | movement and returned the fire. At ! this the Filipinos ran off. The II %'e Hull Itminl Philadelphia. !>; Chicago, 0.

CHICAGO, Aug. 14.—One hundred thousand Germun-Amerlcan citizens participated yesterduy in the cerebra tion incident to the opening of the fourteenth annual convention of the Kreigerbund and the Twenty-fifth an nual reunion in America of the Deuscher Kreigerverein. The former includes veterans of the Germun army and the latter veterans of the Franco Prusslan war. The day signalized the opening of the convention and the pay ing of tributes by German-Americans to the men who made possible the present greatuess of the German em pire. The pageant was large and im posing. The cordial relations between the German-Americans and their fellow countrymen was made manifest in tne enthusiastic cheering that greeted on every hand the two young women rep resenting Columbia and Germania, and singing by a multitude at Sharpshoot ers’ park of German and American national anthems. The day begun with the arrival of trains bringing delegations from all parts of the country. As each train slowed up at the depot committees stepped forward to welcome the visi tors. It was not a formal reception of strangers but a reunion of old friends. Many of the arrivals were re cognized by members of the commit tees as former messmates on the bat tlefield and the welcome extended was a hearty one.

H Com mliRloner Tripp—Action «»f tlie '1 liree 1 Govern men U H«*qulred. WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.—The re port of the Samoan commission was received at the State department Sat urday. It is a voluminous document and until there has been an oppor tunity for the officials to go over It details will not be made public. Its essential features are well known, j however, and include the abolition of the kingship and the substitution of an administrator or governor general agreed upon by the throe powers, and the adoption cf certain measures of local government among the natives. The report was accompanied by a private letter from United States com missioner Bartlett Tripp to Assistant Secretary Cridler summing un what had been done and giving much light upon personal phases of the Inquiry. Mr. Tripp took occasion to dibpose of a report that the failure of Mr. Eliot, the British commissioner, to re turn with the party on the Badger had any international significance. He stated that Mr. Eliot had gone home by way of New Zealand because he had a sister living there and desired to visit her. No mention was made of the circumstances leading up to the retirement of Chief Justice Chambers. Mr. Tripp will not come to Wash ington at once, but will i'.rst go to his home In Yankton. After going over the report Mr. Cridler will make a summary to be forwarded to Secretary Hay. Now that the report Is in hand, It remains for the three governments to determine whether the recommenda tion of the commission Is to be adopted and as yet there has been no step in that direction. MORE FIGHTING IN SAMOA. VANCOUVER, B. C., Aug. 14—The trouble In the Samoan Islands did not end with the departure of the rep resentatives of the powers rrom Apia, although they confidently thought that they had restored peace and brought the rival factions together. F. S. Meade, who arrived here on the Mio wera, after a trip through the islands of the South sea, says that the two factions were still at war very shortly after the commissioners left and that they engaged in a pitched battle. The rival kings took no part, but the lead ers of the parties were engaged. Sev eral were killed on both sides and a large number wounded. MOVEMENTS OE ADMIRAL DLWEY. Kearhet Leghorn on Sunday hut Itemalna on Whip During the Day. LEGHORN, Aug. 14—(New York Cablegram.)—The Olympia arrived at 2 o’clock this afternoon, all on board being well. It being Sunday official calls and salutes will be exchanged today, and the admiral did not come to shore. Consul Smith, accompanied by Consul Cramer of Florence, went aboard to pay their respects immed iately, however. Some of the officers with leaves, who do not have to wait on official calls, already have gone to Florence. The ad miral may go there for a day or two. No entertainment except of the most formal innature has yet been arranged for him here. All big hotels whicn ! cater to the winter tourists’ season, have closed. American tourists com ing here to see Admiral Dewey will have difficulty In obtaining accommo dations. Reports that the admiral is going to Rome to call on the pope, or that he Is going from Gibraltar to London, are absolutely unfounded. There is j no change in the original plans except j that he goes direct to Nice after a week’s stay here. The officers und crew, he says, having seen something of Italy, shull see something of the Rlverla. Df SOL 4TIOM IN PORTO R1U). Urn Itavli rtilnalH thvt Over loo.ooo I ptnplr »r« 11 hi»m*l•••*«.

EVANSVILLE, Jnd., Aug. 14.—A Journal special from the Crow Indian agency, Montana, says: “Government commi'sioners have effected an agreement with the Crow Indians which will become a treaty when ratified by congress. About a million acres of land will be purchased on the northern end of the Crow reier vation from Fort Custer to the Yellow 1 stone river and from Pryor creek to i the eastern boundary of the reserva tion, embracing the lower Big Horn and other smaller streams. This leaves the Crows, 2,500,000 acres and will make them Independent in time and furnish homes for thousands of civil ized people. The price to be paid Is about II per acre in payments. Con siderable land Is arable, but most of It Is excellent for grazing, with timber on the streams. The Northern Pa cific railway runs along the northern border and the Burlington diagonally through it from east to west.” TMI TRi A1Y WITH JAMAICA.

There is no public know ledge of its provisions now, henc; no intelligent foundation for the asser tion that the treaty Is antagnoistl' to the interests of the United 8tates.

The re duction ranges between 70 and 80 per cent. The straighteners of the large beams will have their wages cu*. to about $3, while the holdups will be paid on a scale that will average them about $1.50 a day. The workmen de clare that straightners had been mak ing an average of $15 or 16 per day, and that the holdups averaged from $6 to $7 per day for their work. They claim that they were not overoaid even at that rate, for the beams are very heavy and the work is so severe on the men that they can endure it for only a few years. May Yet l.ewil to Trouble. WILKKSBARRE, Pa., Aug. 14.—'The trouble that is brewing betv/een the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad company and its miners, threatens to assume serious propor tions. The big meeting held in Scran ton last night. In favor of a reduction In price of powder, is to be followed by similar meetings In Luzerne county. The price paid for powder has been a matter of contention for twenty years. Officials of the coal vnnpanies say that to reduce the price of powder would mean increased cost to the com panies for mining coal, or as one prom inent official of the Dsleware, Lacka wanna & Western company saiii: "It would mean an Increase of wages, and this we are not prepared to grant.” ’f-n , r(,n,|nn, for |tie Vcl rain.

The murderers were onlv a couple of yards behind the victim and the bullet struck Maitre Labori in the back. The wounded nvn uttered an „ agonized cry and fell flat on his face. The murderers immediately fled through the lane from where they hud emerged and both escaped. It waa announced that the bu'let had entered the stom-cb. There was no outward bleeding and the physi cians believe that M. Labori will die from the wound. A later story has It that M.

Inhabitant* of Atton Inland In a Pitiable Condition. SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 14.—A priv ate letter from Captain Slamm of the revenue cutter Grant, now with the sealing patrol In Bering Sea, states the inhabitants of Attou island were found by him in straightened circum stances, but in no immediate danger of starvation. The inhlbitants. numbering seventy three—twenty-three men and fifty women and children—wore in a piti able condition. Many of the children were partially naked and their elders were but little better ofT. All were de pendent for bodily warmth upon the common practice of huddling five or six together in their '‘barahosos" or native huts. The only fuel on the isl and is a scant supply of driftwood. The crew of the Grant gave the peo ple all their spare clothing. The peo ple were also suffering from a lack of salt.
