OUTCLASSED DEWEY IN LOVE.
The Spanish Duke "Who Did It Now
Minister to Washington.
Spain's UCAV ambassador to the Uui-
rted States , the Duke d'Arcos , is a man
Jn whom Admiral George Dewey once
found a successful rival. Twenty years
or more ago D'Arcos , then a poor
Count , but a handsome , dashing fellow ,
was in Washington as a legation at
tache. Dewey was also there in a
.subordinate naval position , and was
.equally poor. Both men were popular
favorites. They AA-ere in society a
.great deal together , and Avere Avell
liked. Among their intimates Dewey
was always "George ( " and D'Arcos ,
whose family name is Bruuetti , AA-as
called "Jack. "
DeAvey and D'Arcos both fell iu IOA-C
with the same girl , the beautiful Vir
ginia Woodbury LoAvery , of Washing
ton. Archibald Lowery , who is rich
D'ARCOS AND nis WIFE.
-and proud and patriotic , did not like
.either suitor. He thought his daughter
could do better than marry DeAvey. As
for Brunetti , he was not an American.
In the father's eyes he AA-as impossible.
Perhaps that was one reason Avhy
the beautiful girl preferred the hand
some Spaniard. She gave him a vow
ihafc she would wed no one else , but she
told her father that she AA-ould not mar
ry without his consent. She kept both
promises , but there was a long and
ueary waiting. For years the father
was obdurate ; the lovers were sunder
ed. In the meantime Dewey had mar
ried another girl. She was in her grave
tAventy years and more before the guns
at Manila echoed around the world.
After many years the old Duke died
and Jack Brunetti became the Duke
.d'Arcos. He was named Spanish min
ister to Mexico. Mr. Lowery finally
uie President and General Merritt
made up a force largely of volunteers ,
Avith a leaven of regulars to steady the
lump. It Avas supposed that there
would be only a summer picnic for the
former , Avith the latter needed only for
brief garrison duty until the ball Avas
over. So it came about that the army
of occupation of the Philippines Avas
made up of 7. > per cent , of A'olunteers.
Of sixteen regiments of these only one
Avas from the East and South respec
tively. The others Avere all Western ,
representing California , Kansas , North
Dakota. Wyoming , Montana. Idaho ,
South Dakota. Colorado , Minnesota.
Nebraska. Oregon. Washington. IoAA-a.
and Utah all from Avest of the big
river. These men had only that train
ing at arms that comes from having a
pistol as a regular article of toilet.
Ninety per cent , of them had never
been organized as regiments. Without
being drilled , Avithin t\vo months after
concentration many of them A\ere
aboard transports and on their Avay to
Manila. Five expeditions , Avith nearly
37,000 troops , reached the capital of
Luzon by the middle of June. No
drilling could be indulged in on the
troop ships , but little time AAIS : given
after debarkation for such things. But
they Avere there to oust the Spanish ,
and ten days after arrival this nvw ma
terial Avas engaged in a deadly strug
gle. Under the most terrifying condi
tions of night and a Avhirlwind of tem
pest and rain they repulsed the enemy
and covered their States with glory.
No denial of the innate fighting qual
ities of these men of the nation had
ever been made , but all regular officers
held that much training AVHS necessary
to render them steady under fire , and )
enduring in a sickly climate. Yet these j
niAv levies , fresh from counting-house
and farm , accustomed to all kinds of
good things to eat and drink , buckled
down to army rations in a land 10,000
miles from home , took the good with
the bad. and lacked not one whit of the
steadiness of regulars.
The first sortie of consequence by the
Filipinos Avas on Feb. 3. It consisted
of a preconcerted attack at a dozen dif
ferent places on Otis' lines , and Avas as
skillfully planned as any fight ever
made , but it Avas soon turned into a
disgraceful rout. Our volunteers did
not know that under the rules of war
they were licked at the start. Hence
it came about that instead of retreat
ing these hardy Westerners hopped
over the fronts of their trenches and
made for those occupied by Aguin-
aldo's men , three times their number.
They simply took them. They wanted
the waterworks , and from the vicinity
concluded that further opposition was
useless and gaA'e sanction to the mar
riage , Avhich AA-as carried out very
quietly.
The ueAV minister from Spain is an
important man in Washington , and his
wife a great lady. But there are people
in Spain as well as the United States
who think Miss Lowery missed a great
opportunity when she said "no" to
Dewey.
HE LOST ALL ,
Including that Winsome Creature , the
.Lovely Birdy Jones.
It AA-as the first perfect day of the
glad springtime. The Avarm sun bright
ened the country landscape , and the
odor of opefiing apple blossoms came
upon the laden atmosphere. The lazy
clouds floated dreamily in the sky over
head , chiefly because they could not
go afoot nor on the trolley cars. The
rural roads Avere smooth under the
hammer of innumerable AA'heels. and
Clarence Wheeler had stolen Birdy
Jones from her haughty Soho home
for a ramble on his ' 97 tandem among
the highAA-ays of the toAvnships. Stop
ping from their run , they rested be
neath a great oak tree Avhich oA-erhung
a wayside spring. CoAvbells tinkled in
the woodlot beloAV the meadoAV , and lit
tle lambs with wabbly legs three sizes
too big for them gamboled on the short
green grass. On a broad , flat stone that
looked doAvn upon the crystal water
Birdy spread the lunch they hnd car
ried in the tandem box , and dkirence
brought AA-ater in a romantic tin can
that he had found hard by.
The soft Avinds-toyed with the girl's
bleached tresses , which streamed over
her face like a photogravure picture of
tlK west Aviud to illustrate Longfiel-
IPAV'S poems. Her cheeks flushed with
the vigor of exercise and robust health ,
and AA'hen the young man approached
her from the spring his whole thought
Avas centered upon the winsome beau
ty of the divine creature. He sat down
by her side. His soul drank in the
charm of the picture. She looked up
from the can of embalmed beef that
she Avas opening , with a smile of confi
dent approval on her young face. Sud
denly her eye kindled and the rosy
flush of young womanhood gave way
to a ghastly pallor. Her lip curled in
deliberately and unkindly kicked the
Filipinos out. In this instance hot
headed determination set aside all
rules of Avar-fare. VieAved in a regular
Avay , the assailed Avere beaten , but
irrepressible pitching-in defied all mar
tial strictures , and the day was AVOU.
In like manner , when Anderson Avas
.attacked by August ! on Aug. 3 , thick-
weather prevented the regiments from
knowing that in a tactical point of vieAv
they Avere as good as wiped out. But
they pressed on diligently , fought
their Avay past obstacles , half realized
at the time , by sheer force of pluck-
system and scientific skill out of the
question. When Miller landed at lloilo
Avith his handful of loAvans he seemed
to have committed suicide. He faced
a bunch of Filipinos ten times his mini-
her , and Avell armed and Avell disciplin-
ed. Yet he kept the toAvn , and Avhen
the Tennessee regiment Avas added to
his force , with a part of the Third artil
lery , he Aveut into the country looking
for a fight. He found one , and , to the
chagrin of all military strategists , from [ j i
j Charles Martel doAvn to Kitchener of j |
Khartoum , he AVOU it. He had no right
to do anything of the kind , but he did ,
and there is an end to the discussion
that red tape and ironclad rules have
anything to do with real enthusiasm
and victory.
What is aimed at here is to express
Avhat "Teddy" Roosevelt , "Joe" Wheel
er and others affirm : the volunteer of
America is a fighting machine Avho im

He does not need a course of sprouts at
any school of technical AA-ar instruction
if he can get the real thing in front of

A great deal of jungle skirmishing
has marked the Filipino conflict. Here
the AA-ork of the Western volunteer has
been such as to excite Avouder and ad
miration on the part of trained officers
of foreign lands , who neA-er dreamed
a force of raAA- recruits could behaA'e

anger. "Merciful heaven ! " shrieked the

But she stepped back , and , striking

pointed her finger at him and sakl in
tones that would wither a load of hay :

Exempt from Regulations.
An Italian physician , rushing on his
wheel to the bedside of a patient , AA-as
arrested by a policeman for scorching ,
and notwithstanding the urgency of
the case Avas compelled to go to court.
When the doctor Avas finally released ,
on ariving at the home of the patient
he found that she had died for lack of
medical attendance while he AA-as in the
hands of the laAA' . The circumstance
led to the exclusion of physicians from
the regulations regarding scorching.

Satan probably originated the saying
"Man wants but little here below. "
In the lighting that lias taken place
in the Philippines the difference be
tween the methods of regulars and vol
unteers has been strikingly manifested.
The former move forward persistently
and doggedly in silence ; the latter go
to the front with yells and enthusiasm ,
but both go to the front. When Wheaton -
on was opposed by a river , the other
j side of which bristled with rifles , he
j
I halted for the pioneers. The regulars
,
j did the same , but the Oregon boys , be-
j
ing good swimmers and not liking to
wait for bridges under tire , swam the
river. AVhen Otis met the Marilao
River Colonel Funston and a score of
his men swam over and took some
trenches which were manned by the
Filipinos. So. e of the Washington
boys saw a blockhouse flag. One of
them volunteered to go and set it on
fire. He did so under a heavy tire , and
his comrades rushed up. in possession
while the Filipinos gave in , affrighted
at such foolhardiness and bravery.
Like Grant's army in the Wilderness ,
the volunteer contingents have made a
showing no nation on earth can match
not a man has advanced backward
in all that gallant army. Bullets fired
from old rifles in the hands of supposed
ly raw troops have done as much dam
age ns bullets sent from modern guns
by men wearing sharpshooters' badges.
They have been kept constantly at the
front , the reason assigned being that
they are hardened to the climate , and
better than any freshly arrived regu
lars. It took General Otis less than
half a year to reach a conclusion that
all the precedents of the army and the
science of war Avere useless in the face
of the indomitable bravery , the match
less aptitude and speed , the unbound
ed enthusiasm of the American volun
teer. Lacking skill as pioneers , they
swam rivers ; knowing nothing of skill
ed clearing work , they cut the jungle ;
not supposed to be full-fledged soldiers ,
they camped on the trail of the sullenly
retiring enemy with bulldog tenacity.
Our regulars in the Philippines have
proven themselves marvels of steadi
ness and machine-like precision , but
the volunteer all dash , spirit and
pluck has shown that the true Ameri
can fighting vim cannot be repressed ,
and , given expression , carries all be
fore it to victorv.
"White or Brown Brend.
The oft-repeated debate between the
advocates respectively of the white and
brown in breads is again being car
ried on in the columns of the London
Illustrated News. Dr. Andrew Wilson
takes the side of the brown , while Dr.
Lander Burton writes in praise of the
white , and he is supported by several
other contributors.
These latter pro
fessionals are firm in the belief , after
having made investigations Into the
question , that white bread is more nu
tritious than the brown variety. The
latter has its merits , of course. It
tends to remove the torpidity of the
digestive system , which too often oc
curs in persons of sedentary habits ,
and supplies also mineral matters
especially phosphate of lime needed
for bone-building. But the white bread
also supplies mineral items , and as re
gards fat it is said to afford a larger
proportion of this important food than
the brown bread.
The great point our
investigators lay stress on , however , is
the importance of judging the value of
a food by a physiological rather than
by a purely chemical criterion. It is
one thing to say that any food shows
under analysis a large proportion of
this or that nutriment
, and quite an
other thing to assert that it can be
easily assimilated , or. in other Avords.
thai its nutrients can be easily obtain
ed by ( he body for the ultimate pur
pose of nourishment. White bread
overtops the brown in this latter re
spect , and so AVO may rest content to
kuoAv that in the ordinary loaf we have
a typical enough represeiitatiw of the
staff of life.

A ROMANTIC CAREER.
The Stcry of an American Viscountess
in Kncland.
Of all t'ie beautiful and wealthy
American girls Avho have contracted
matrimonial alliances with titled Euro
peans few have had'so romantic a ca
reer as A'iscountess Deerhurst , AVJO re
cently presented an heir to her distin
guished husband.
Viscountess Deerhurst. who is ac
counted one of the most beautiful wom
en of Europe , and who was also an
heiress of great wealth when she mar
ried , was an Illinois girl by birth , and
her earliest years were ones of humble
life. Her birthplace was a farm in
Fulton County , near Farmington , and
about twenty miles west of the city of
Peoria. Her father's name was Will
iam Daniel , but this was a fact known
to only a feAV people when the beauti
ful and accomplished Virginia Bon-
ynge , a name that subsequently came
to her. was launched in London soci
ety with all the advantages that nature
had lavished upon her , supplemented
by the fascination of prospective mill
ions. Her success was instantaneous ,
and it Avas not long before she had the
eligibles of Great Britain's exclusive
set at her feet. She AA-as taken up by
royalty itself , in the person of Princess
Christian , and her presentation to the
Queen stamped her position in the great
world of fashionable and exclusive so
ciety.
About this time came an event in
Virginia Bonynge's career which near
ly Avrecked her life and happiness , and
the shock of which prostrated her for
weeks with brain fever , and brought
her near death's door. Among the
horde of suitors that besieged her was
a nobleman of high title , a long and
Jofty lineage , and of distinguished and
unblemished character. Ills suit pros
pered , and soon his engagement to Miss
Bonynge AA-as announced. A feAV weeks
after the engagement was announced
ugly rumors began to circulate in Lon
don society about Miss Bonynge. These
were to the effect that she Avas not the
daughter of the millionaire whose
name she bore , but that her origin had
been o-f the most lowly nature , and that
her father , after having served a term
VISCOUNTESS DEERHURST.
of imprisonment for murder , had
wound up his career by committing
suicide. Miss Boin-nge's noble fiance
heard these rumors , and he investigat
ed them. Their accuracy AA-as acknowl
edged by Mr. and Mrs. Bonyuge , and
he broke the engagement , without an
instant's hesitation or eA'en an iuter-
vieAv with the girl whose affections he
had gained.
London society Avas , of course , scan
dalized , but some of the royal family
declared it outrageous to visit the sins
of a father on his innocent offspring ,
and as the favor of royalty in England
outranks in importance the disfavor of
all other classes the Bonynges main
tained their position and outlived the
venom of slander.
It is necessary here to tell how Vir
ginia Bonynge , daughter of a murderer
and suicide , had been transformed into
the child of a millionaire and an orna
ment of English society. Her father's
name AA-as William Daniel. He was a
gardener in England , who had married
a housemaid. Together they had come
to America to seek their fortune. Dan
iel and his Avife worked their way from
New York across the continent , stop
ping for a time at Farmington , 111. ,
Avhere they tried to run a quarter sec
tion of land. It was while here , on the
prairies of Illinois , that the Viscount
ess Deerhurst was born , twenty-five
years ago.
William Daniel did not prosper as a
farmer. He decided to go to California
to dig for gold. Crossing the Rocky
Mountains in those days Avas not Avhat
it is noAv , especially for people who
know what it is to want for money.
The journey entailed many hardships
for Daniel and his little family. Once
on the Pacific slope he went to work
as a common miner , whose only capital
was determination to succeed and a
strong constitution , and whose only
tools were his braAvny arms. It was a
rough community. Almost eAery man's
hand AAas uplifted against his neighbor
in the endeavor to protect himself. One
day Daniel got into a fracas. He killed
a man. AAas tried and sentenced to im
prisonment.
While Daniel was in prison Bonynge ,
then a strugirling miner , met Daniel's
wife. She procured a divorce and the
couple were married. Virginia Daniel j *
then became Virginia Bonynge. j i <
Bonyuge struck it rich and became
one of California's bonanza kings. Dan
iel's wife and daughter lived in luxury ,
while Daniel ate his heart out in a
prison cell. He never kneAv until he
Avas freed that wife and daughter were
lost to him forever.
When he was pardoned he went back
to the scene of his crime in search of
those he had left behind. They had
disappeared. But some remained who
were able to put him upon their track.
He learned the truth , and it killed the
little courage and manhood left after
his Imprisonment. He plunged into
deeper crime , drank to excess , and
finally died by his own hand.
In the meantime the Bonynges had
removed to London. They found Ainer-
\
lean wealth powerful , and , when re-
enforced by the charms of a beautiful
daughter , irvesistible. Then came the
shock of the revelations of. Daniel's
career.
Soon after this period the Viscount
Deerhurst became a suitor for the hand
of Miss Bonynge. He Avas accepted ,
and in a short time the miner's daugh
ter became Viscountess Deerhurst. Her
life since has been a happy one.
FROM DEEP DOWN IN EARTH.
Queer Creatures that Came Out of an
Artesian Well in Texas.
The arrival at the fish commission of
tAA-o living specimens of the Typhlo-
molge Rathbuni has excited much in
terest. These animals came from an
artesian AAell ; dug by the United States
fish commission to supply water to the
fish hatchery near San Marcos , Texas ,
and are among the most interesting of
subterranean organisms.
The Avell Avas bored to a depth of
about 1 , . > 00 feet , but AA-as afterward
filled up , until it is now only 188 feet
deep. A flow of 1,200 gallons of AA-ater
a minute is obtained , ami with the
Avater four A'arieties of Crustacea and
this salamander have come to the sur
face , all of which are new to science.
As might be expected , these animals
are blind , and the name given to the
salamander is due to this fact , being
compounded from the Greek typhlos.
blind , and molge , a kind of salaman
der. The second term is in honor of
Professor Richard Rathbun of the
Smithsonian institution.
The larger of the tAA-o living speci
mens is about four and a half inches
In length. It has a large head , pro
longed forward into a flattened snout ,
in which is the mouth. The eyes are
covered by the skin and appear mere
ly as small black specks. The body is
slender and ends in a tail , flattened
from side to side and used in swim
ming. Projecting from the body are.
two pairs of legs , the forward pair end
ing in four toes and the rear pair bear
ing five toes , as is customary among
salamanders. These legs are used in
AA-alking , and , though very slender ,
seem to possess much strength , as they
lift the body clear of the ground , and
by them it can climb over the rocks
piled in the aquarium.
The general structure is of a larval
type that is , it resembles the unde
veloped salamanders of to-day and the
fossils of those of bygone ages. It is
well known that fish and other inhab
itants of subterranean waters are de
scended from corresponding types
found at the surface in the vicinity , but
the typhlomolge suggests many prob
lems. As it presents a primitive type ,
it may be an instance of arrested evolution
lution or of reversion. When the an
cestors of these specimens became en
gulfed in the earth , it is probable that
the form UOAV presented was the nor
mal one , and that , in the absence of
light and the presence of other ob
stacles to animal life , evolution became
impossible , and the type became fixed.
On the other hand , this larval form may
be the result of degeneration.
Success in Liile.
The successful man learns the rudi
ments of business in early life , says C.
I * . Huntington , general manager of the
Central Pacific Railway. The unsuc
cessful man is the one who in his
youth watched the clock to see that
he did not begin work a minute ahead
of time or quit a second behind it.
Those are the boys who are discharged
first , AvheneA-er the staff is reduced ;
but the boy who thinks of working in
stead of quitting , and looks after his
employer's interest instead of his own
ease , is the one who is kept on , and
goes ahead and succeeds.
Success is a simple thing. The money
saved in early life groAA-s into fortunes
later on. The young man who can
save 10 cents a day is a man of sense.
He is on the road to success. But the
young man AA-IIO trades this 10 cents
for a cigar is a fool.
There may be cases AA-here fortunes
are made by jumps , but great success
comes from persistent effort. It Is a
mistake to point out the accomplished
work of a successful life and ask a
young man to duplicate it. The im
mensity of such a work appalls him. It
Is like taking him suddenly to the top
of a high steeple to see a great city.
The grQflt height makes him dizzy , butte
to the steeplejack , who knoAVS his busi
ness and has scaled the steeple , It is
quite a little matter. That Is the rea
son why rising men should not look
ahead. They should work for to-day
and to-day only , and if they do that
faithfully and live economically , they
will be ready for whatever comes on
the morrow.
