W. F. NORRIS GIVES SOME FACTS.
Largest anil Moct VV.uablo Animal Is
the Carlboa or Wild Ox Hogu ,
Wild and Tame , Monkeys and Wild
Ducks are Plentiful.
The following coinnunilcntlon from
Judge \V. F. Norrls that appeared In
the Wayne Herald , gives some Intor-
cstlng facts regarding the Philippine
Islands , where ho has boon stationed
in un ofliclal capacity :
1 The western-most of the Philippine
Islands Is Palawan , a large Island ex
tending north and south some three
hundred miles. To the south lies a
group of small Islands from some of
which on a qlear day , one can look
over to the Island of Borneo. All geological
logical indications are that In a for
mer , and not distant period , the Phil
ippines at this point were connected
with the great Island of the southern
Pacific. The natural supposition would
bo that animals of the sumo species
would be found in the Philippines
and Borneo. The reverse Is , however ,
the case at the present day. Borneo
is the homo of gigantic animals and
reptiles. Hero are found the tiger ,
elephant , the largest of the monkey
tribe , including the gorilla and other
mammoth specimens of animal life.
The Philippines on the other hand
is the land of little men , little women ,
little horses and little animals In
general.
There Is a rumor that In the interi
or of Palawan , has been seen the foot
track of some enormous beast , an un
known animal so far never seen by
any human beings unless the wild
savages who inhabit the forests of the
Interior. The unknown , Is always the
region of the mysterious , and the mas
todon of Palawan may bo classed with
the white tribe rumored once on a
time to have been discovered in the
equally wild and unexplored island of
Mindoro.
The largest animal of the Philip
pines is the carlboa or water ox. This
animal is not only the largest but by
far the most important of Filipino ani
mals. The carlboa should bo repre
sented on the coat of arms of the Re
public Filipena , should such govern
ment ever take its place among the
nations of the earth. It is and has
been the most useful and valuable of
Filipino animals. Its labor has been
indlspensible to the industries of the
country. Whatever may be its future ,
whether supplanted by the American
mule , or whether he continues the
working factor of the country , he has
earned honorable mention and his
eminent services merit perpetuation.
The carlboa has been to the Filipino ,
to a certain degree , what the bison
was to the Indian of the plains , or
what the reindeer is to the Laplander.
His flesh provided the poor man with
food , his labor cultivated his patch
of ground , or as a beast of burden
afforded him the means of making a
livelihood in the commercial towns
of the country.
The wild carlboa is the largest
game animal of the archipelago. It is
smaller than the domesticated spe
cies , the latter being about the size
of the ox of this country. I have been
told by an intelligent native that the
carlboa of the mountains Is a differ
ent animal from the tame one of the
lowlands. They arc genorajly , how.
ever , regarded as domestic and wild
varieties of the same animal. The
wild carlboa is the most formidable
animal of the archipelago , in fact , the
only dangerous one In Filipino forests ,
unless the wild hog be an exception.
He is no mean antagonist , even to the
hunter accustomed to the game of
India or Borneo. When wounded or
angry he Is absolutely fearless and
equally vindictive. The only resort
for his intended victim is the nearest
tree , which for the safety of the pur
sued should be at a convenient dis
tance. The animal rushes in pursuit
with the swiftness and fury of a de
mon.
Passenger transportation in the
cities is generally little
by two-wheel
ed carriages , drawn by little horses ,
\
the latter being not much larger than
a good sized Shetland pony. The
K
horses are used only for driving , the
heavier work being done by the carl-
boa. The number of native ponies has
been greatly reduced through a dis
ease known as the surra , which has
swept them away by the thousands.
In some sections they are well night
annihilated by this disease which at
one time prevailed in India with , I
understand , like results. The carl-
boa also suffered from a disease called
the rinderpest , which proved equally
fatal , destroying , not only the tame
animals , but the carlboa of the woods
as well as other wild animals , thous
ands of which perished during the
prevalence of the pestilence.
The wild hog Is one of the best and
most plentiful game animals of the
archipelago. The tusks of the wild
pig are much used as ornaments to
walking sticks. They are of Immense
length and are anything but a grace
ful ornament , their chief value being
their attraction as a trophy of the
Filipino wilderness and as bearing
evidence of the reality of the wild pig
of the country , which Judging from his
tusks Is an animal of gigantic proper
tions. The wild pig Is much better
eating than his domesticated kin , and
very much safer , eating , living as lit1
does on roots and such cleanly food
us he Hilda In the forests. The tuiiio
hog of the lowlands Is an animal of
so ropulnlvo appearance that the
American resident entertains a wholesome -
some repugnance against eating pork
unless It bo bacon and ham from the
commissary.
Over in Barneo , the monkey family
Is represented by perhaps the largest
species on earth. In the Philippines
there are plenty of them but of small
size and no particular notoriety. They
are a common pet , being very easily
tamed , and found almost anywhere in
the forest. The proximity of men docs
not Heoni to disturb them , nor does
the native disturb'the monkey farther
than to take numerous captives which ,
owing to their mischievous habits , are
kept In check by a string or chain
about the body.
The music of the song birds is
missed In the Philippines , there being
few of them as well as birds of bril
liant plumage as the bird of paradise
of Now Guinea and others found in
different sections of the tropics. Wild
ducks are very plentiful as are snipe
of largo size and excellent llavor. The
ducks are generally small. I would
say they are a species of teal , though
the mallard Is found and a largo spe
cies weighing some four pounds , said
to bo superior as a table duck to the
canvas back.
Every American visiting Manila
should not fall to visit the Jesuit Mu
seum , which contains a representation
of the birds , beasts , fishes , reptiles ,
shells , birds eggs , minerals and in
sects of the archipelago. An Inspec
tion of this museum is In certain re
spects equivalent to a trip around the
entire archipelago. The collection Is
excellently arranged and classified by
the fathers , and is being constantly
added to , so that anything new of In
terest whatever discovered is on view.
The last time 1 was there specimens
were being packed for the Buffalo ex
position. Conspicuous among the ex
hibits Is an Immense turtle , washed
up In Manila bay , a boa of enormous
length and an Immense shark , the two
latter being from the haunt of enor
mous reptiles , the land of great expec
tations , the unexplored and unknown
Island of Mindano.

'IN ' A SPIRITED GAME HUMPHREY
IS DEFEATED.
CLOSE WORK DURING THE PLAY
Both Teams Were Equally Matched
and the Game Seemed to be Hum
phrey's Until In the Laot Two liv
nlngu When Tables Were Turned.
In as snappy a game of bull an has
over been played in Norfolk Stuntou
yoHterday took the llrst game of the
tournament from Humphrey by a
score of 5 to 3 , and placed themselves
In position to tuUo part in the dual
battle on Thursday against the win
ners of the Tltden-Plalnvlew game
today. It was not until the hmt two
Innings that the Stanton team gave
evidence that it intended to cinch the
game and even then the Hpeetators
wore doubtful of their ability to do It ,
as Humphrey was hero with a choice
assortment of the best players In Itn
part of the state. The tables com
menced to turn however1 , early In the
eighth when Shea and Whlted chased
around the diamond for one each and
the score was tied , three to throe , and
the matter was clinched when they
lined up for the ninth and Bucknms-
ter and Smith each took a turn around
the diamond and the hard luck of the
Humphrey strong men at the bat In
the Html half fulled to bring them a
score.
Humphrey scored twice In the llrst
and once In the eighth , while Stan-
ton's one poor little score pounded
out In one stroke of the stick by Fa
ther Fullmer looked lonely and forsak
en , and the game was conceded to ho
the southern town's by the average
fan until the end of the eighth when
It also developed that Stanton was
up to play for a winning.
That great long four bagger lauded
somewhere over in the meadow a
mile from nowhere brought Fullmer
the plaudits of the grandstand and the
bleechers as well. A tlpup catch by
Shea was another pretty sight for the
enthusiasts. A doubling up of things
with Whlted , Morris and Eads was
another performance that sat well
with the onlookers , and the way Whl
ted fooled the negro Jones out of a
score was a good sight to behold. The
long stick work of Jones and Tro
bough for Humphrey was of the right
quality but they failed to do It of
ten enough. Corbett , too , did some
spectacular work at the bat , but ho
got the ( lowers and the glad hand
right when ho made a short one hand
ed catch behind the bat of a swift
one that seemed determined to evade
his reach.
In the box both Nunnally and Whl
ted put up a very pretty game and In
spite of the strong hitters it was sel
dom that the ball was landed upon.
Only one hatter was given a walk ,
while many of them died at the homo
plate without even a start toward a
score.
Errors were few and far between ,
only five of them were recorded. Sev
eral of these'were excusable ; but one
or two were quite expensive. It
seemed almost Impossible to land a
ball In the Held where there was no
one , and hut a few of 'the batters suc
ceeded In accomplishing the feat.
It was as good as the best of the
leagues could be expected to put up
and those who failed to sco It missed
a treat of the season. If the two
games to follow are as good It will
bo worth all It costs and more too ,
to witness the games. Both Humph
rey and Stanton were well represent
ed ainonu the rooters , while the Nor
folk crowd was thoroughly Impartial
and ready to place proper credit
where It belonged. There was not
the attendance , however , that the
game deserved , and Norfolk should
give better attention to the game that
Is to close up the scries tomorrow ,
and they will not regret It If a win
ning team is produced to hold Stanton -
ton to an oven tussel for the big end
of the purse.
Smith of Tllden umpired the game
In the impartial manner that Is pe
culiar to him when on the diamond ,
and which Is generally so satisfactory
to the on-lookers. He made few er
rors In judgment and firmly held to
his decisions , observing that fair ball
was played by the contesting teams ,
whether they were out or In.

SECOND OF SERIES POCKETED
DY WESTERNERS.
PLAINVIEW WAS IN HARD LUCK
Scores a Shut-Out In the Tournament
and Tllden In for the Final Driz
zling Rainstorm Fixed the Grounds
and the Paraphernalia.
In the second hull game of the HO-
rltw yesterday afternoon the Plain-
view boys found It exceedingly dllll-
cult to locale the mud halls that
Luthohy tossed their way and when
the game was called at the end of the
sixth Inning they could discover noth
ing more attractive than goono ogHg
In the basket , while a hunch of seven
HquaroH appeared under the Tllden
platter.
With a drizzling rain that turned
the diamond Into a skating rink and
the hallH and the big milts Into oiled
( HIllLMtltU'H , a good game wan beyond
the question and the crowd returned
thanks to Umpire Spauldlng when bo
called It off In the seventh Inning. It
was Tllden'a game , anyway , and the
Inconvenience of the players and the
long waiting spells of the spectators
who looked for something to turn up ,
was a sulllclent excuse for cutting the
game short In regard to InnlngH If
not the tlino consumed. A few
sprinkles early In the afternoon hud
left the diamond In fair condition , but
It overdid the thing soon after the
game was declared on by saturating
things In general and the diamond In
particular with moisture.
Plalnvlow put up good , honest hall ,
but the team was In hard luck from
the start , and Dad Whitney's bunch
HOOII made Its position more dllllcult
to sustain as a competing hall loam.
Dunawny went In to do things for
them In the box , and ho put up great
speed but was a little wild In his cal
culations , and wan relieved by Full
mer in the fourth , who gave the
strong men of the Tlldeu aggregation
Homo deceitful tosses.
Feature plays were rare and unlooked -
ed for , but the errors wore likewise
surprisingly small considering the in
vading moisture. The strong stick
work of the Tllden bunch was what
counted and from the second Inning
there was not much doubt concerning
the team that would meet Stanton for
the final round up today , and a close
game Is anticipated by the crowd that
has gone to the field this afternoon.
If Tllden holds the boys from the
east as well ns the Humphrey people
did on the first day , there will be
things worth seeing where the light
Is warm.
The crowd , as largo as that of the
first day , was there to see ball and
they decided they could stand for the
moisture if the players could and
they remained steadfast until the de
ciding half of the seventh , when they
went away with flattering pictures of
Tilden graven In their hearts.
