patches to the insular bureau of tho
war department announce the death
of First Lieutenant Edward Y.
Miller, U. S. A., governor of Pala
wan in the Philippines. Beyond that
he was drowned last month the dis
patches give no details; but they add
that the 28,000 natives are incon
solable. The islands had come to
revere Miller. Cables from Manila
report that in connection with the
installation of a new governor, Dean
C. Worcester, American secretary of
the interior for the Philippines, nar
rowly escaped assassination by Moro
outlaws on the island of Palawan.
He was saved by the alertness of his
bodyguard, who fired upon the
Moros, killing three and wounding
others. Secretary Worcester, who
was making a' tour of the island, was
present at the Installation. A .band
of Moros, having planned his death,
armed themselves with bolos, and lay
In ambush, from which they made a
sudden and savage rush upon tho
secretary."

The Scotchman could not find his
ticket. On the conductor's second
round it was still missing. "What's
that in your mouth?" he asked, Sure
enough, there was the missing ticket.
The conductor punched it and went
his way. "Ah, we'el'-said Sandy,
in reply to his fellow passengers'
banter, "I'm nao sae absent-minded
as ye wad think. Yon was a vera
auld ticket an' I was just sucken aff
the date." Success. -
