In the middle of his sermon -on Sun­ day last the Roman Catholic parish priest suddenly stopped, and, changing his voice to a more colloquial tone, said: "Herr Meinhardy, attend to the ser­ mon. From this time forward I shall publicly name every one who looks at the girls during the service." The unfortunate Herr Meinhardy in­ dignantly repudiated this public re­ proach, explaining that It was a boil on the back of his neck that kept his head fixed at an angle which had led to the misunderstanding,--London Leader.

Be i Wise and Use '.Y A terrific battle with the Filipinos was fought at Las Pinas Tuesday morning, Lawton's entire force of 3,000 men being engaged with a large number of strongly intrenched rebels. The fight continued all day, and toward evening the rebels had taken up a position but 500 yards to the rear of the point where the engage­ ment opened. The insurgents fought doggedly, and on several occasions at­ tempted to assume the offensive. At one time {hey Irjffl to turn the Americans' fe|t flanlfr but TatfedT The first real ffrtfllery engagement sine? the war in the Philippines began occur­ red during the morning through the in­ surgents opening fire from a masked bat­ tery below Las Pinas. The Filipinos had a smooth bore and a number of • one- pounders. They were answered by six guns from the First artillery, and within a few minutes the gunboat Helena and the monitor Monadnoek joined in with all their guns. The second shell fired by the Filipinos dropped and burst in the camp of the Fourteenth Infantry. Only one man, a private, was struck by fragments of the shell. He was seriously wounded. General Lawton quickly led a recon- noisance with two companies of the Twen- ty-first infantry. The Filipino artillery was some distance back from the beach, and Lawton led his men between it and the water front, brtng hidden by the brush. When the detachment had pro­ ceeded about a mile and a half it encoun­ tered an overwhelming force of Filipino regulars and a hot engagement at close range, directly between the masked bat­ tery and the bay, followed. So heavily were General Lawton's men outnumbered that they were forced to retire. They rallied, however, and by a sharp dash succeeded in carrying the enemy's first position. This left an open space to the left, and a heavy flank fire was poured in on the Americans, compelling them to re­ treat to cover again. The range was so close and the accu­ racy of the Filipinos so good that two officers and nineteen men of the detach­ ment were wounded. The American troops dropped back out of range of the Filipino fire and summoned a battalion of the Ninth Infantry to re-enforce them. At the same time battalions of the Twelfth and Fourteenth Infantry were sent forward along the road. Americans Fall Into a Trap. „ The companies of the Twenty-first regi­ ment, skirmishing along the beach, with amigo guides, found apparently a handful of the enemy, who retreated. The men of the Twenty-first followed and suddenly the enemy opened a terrific fire on the troops from the sides and the rear. The soldiers withdrew to the water's edge, unding what shelter they could,;and were p*jked off rapidly. After their ammunition was nearly ex­ hausted the companies of the Twenty-first retreated, but Gen. Lawton dashed down and rallied the men. A little group made a desperate stand. Gen. Lawton, Maj. Starr and Lieuts. Donovan and Sonnelly taking rifles from the wounded men and firing at the enemy, bringing down some of the rebel sharpshooters from a tree Finally their cartridges were all gone and they were forced to break through the enemy's flank, carrying the wounded to ihe main body of the troops. After firing in volleys for a short time the Americans were ordered to fire when and where they could see the enemy. It was every man for himself and the best the men could do was to aim at the faint mists arising from the enemy's smokeless powder. It was impossible to estimate the number of Filipino dead, . There were many dead bodies in the fields the Ameri­ cans traversed. This battlefield, Incidentally, was for­ merly the scene of several of the greatest struggles between the Spaniards and the Filipinos. The Zapote was considered im­ pregnable and hundreds of Spaniards and Filipinos have been killed while fighting over the same bridge in former contests for its possession. In June, 1897, Gens. Pio del Pilar and Trias turned the scale of war on the side of the Filipinos by de­ serting the Spanish army there on the eve of a decisive battle, carrying native mi­ litia with them and thereby breaking the chain of defense around Manila. In the afternoon the whole American force under General Lawton was in ac­ tion, and heavy fighting took place all along the line. The battle was apparent­ ly the most severe one that the American soldiers in the Philippines have been en­ gaged in. Gen. Otis seems to have been oversan- guine when he reported that,Gen. Law- ton's gallant capture of Las Pinas and Paranaqua on Saturday had broken the resistance of the insurgents in the prov­ ince of Cavite. Tuesday's engagement between the Filipinos and Lawton's forces in spite of the aid given by warships seems to have resulted in the heaviest Ameri­ can loss suffered since the beginning of the outbreak. Gen. Otis' official dispatch places the loss in killed and wounded at thirty, but an Associated Press dispatch sent later says the American loss is con­ servatively estimated at sixty. GENERAL LUNA KILLED. |A&ianlnate4 by Curd it Afnliul* i [ do'i Headquarters. |v|General Antonio Luna, one of the bit­ terest foes of the Americans in the Philip­ pines, has been assassinated by orders of Oeneral Agninaldo, the Filipino leader. IMna has recently fonnd himself in oppo­ sition to his chief's views, and has not only disobeyed his orders, but at one time Stopped Aguinaldo's peace commissioners while on their way to treat with the Americans. Aguinaldo ordered his death and his orders were carried oat by some of his fanatical followers. The assassination of Gen. Luna occur­ red on June 8, at Kabanatuan, to which place he had gone to confer with Agui­ naldo. He had just previously been pro- innted to the rank of major general by the Filipino leader. By a preconcerted plan he was kept waiting at the door of Agui­ naldo's headquarters until his patience b£- i W OENEKAL LUNA. came exhausted. After demanding an ad­ mission several times he attempted to force his way in. He drew his -revolver, but before he could use it he was seized by Aguinaldo's guards and one of them nam­ ed Ney stabbed him several times, it is said. Gen. Luna's aid, who was near him, rushed to the general's rescue, but was seized and disarmed. Luna died a few minutes after being stabbed. It is said that Luna had become so im­ portunate in his demands on Aguinaldo for power and increased authority that the Filiphio leader decided that Luna's death was necessary for his personal safety and the Filipino cause. WIPES OUT DEBTS. City-Raided Men, of Medium Haigkt and Weight, Stand War Best. "The medical and surgical history of ! the Spanish war, when it is fully writ- I ten," observed an army surgeon, "Will again demonstrate the experi­ ence of other wars, that the medium sized makes the best soldier; that Is, the soldier who Is best suited for the hardships of a campaign. The tall, long-jointed man proved to be the worst soldier, for he played out long before even the short, slight man. The medium-sized man, by this I mean In height and weight as well, who was short coupled, wore better, taking all things into consideration, than all oth­ ers. What are known as big men, heavyweights, as well as extremely large in "every other way, "proTed to be, as in the civil war, the poorest soldiers. They were the men w ho first needed the attention of the surgeons and be­ gan to fall with disease almost before they got fairly into the campaign. "Another thing was pretty well proven, I think, and that was that city- raised men made better soldiers than the country-raised men, though the lat­ ter were better workers, as far as hard, manual labor, was concerned. Contrary to my previously formed opinion on this subject, light-liaired men proved to be less susceptible to camp diseases. Heavy meat eaters did not stand It as well as those who ate of meat sparingly. There is no doubt in my opinion that pork meat is not proper food for soldiers in a cam­ paign, it matters not in what form It is furnished nor in what manner it is cooked. 'The soldiers who sickened them­ selves in the 'early part of the war, when the men were congregated in large camps, by indiscriminate eating of pies, cakes, ice cream and the like, were, as a rule, country-raised men. who seemed ready to eat at all times, and who displayed no sense uor dis­ cretion whatever as to what Tir how often they ate. The city-raised men offended in this respect much less than their country-raised associates. In previous campaigns it was proven that black-haired men were the stron­ ger, but in the Spanish war the scales tipped in favor of the blondes, red- haired men standing the war climates exceedingly well." The Sno'i Changing Fafce. j For many years careful drawings of the shifting spots seeti on the face of the sun have been made at the Kew Observatory, near London. This^year it has been decided to discontinue these sketches, which were made by hand, on account of the greirt progress re­ cently accomplished, ija solar photog­ raphy. Photographs of the sun, which are now taken every fail1 day, at vari­ ous observations, present a more com­ plete record of old Sol's changes of countenance than the moist careful drawings could do. r Be Wise Than 4 Wbe people *rt also rich tohen th& know m perfect remedy for juvtoy&g diseases ofv the Hood, kidneys, liver and bowels. & is Hood's SarsaparitU, tuhkh is perfect in its action--so regulates tkf entire system as to bring vigorous health* Never D/sao Effect of the Federal Statute Framed to Relieve Men of Obligationa. Since the Federal bankruptcy law went into effect a little less than a year ago fts provisions have been availed of tn every State and territory. Thousands of debt­ ors, large and small, have gone into court asking to be relieved ottheir burdens of obligations, and the courts have granted them relief in a great sum--aggregating more tthan $57,000,000. From forty-five cities in different parts of the United States in which Federal judges sit infor­ mation relating to the working of the law has been obtained. In some cities few have sought the benefits of the law, while in other 'communities a grand rush has been made to get out from under the heavy weight of debt. In nearly all of the court districts--em* bodying two-thirds of all in the country and embracing all the more important ones--from which reports have been re­ ceived, the law is said to be working sat­ isfactorily. In this connection it is said that little evidence appears tha^t an undue advantage of the law is being taken by insolvents. While the amount of liabili­ ties wiped out by the operation of the law is large, it is explained that the greater part of this consisted of old debts that could not have been collected anyway.

Little of the $50,000,000 appropriated by Congress before the war with Spain, and made available until July 1, remains in the treasury. Allotments made by the President exceed that sum by $58,210.90, but as the War Department has a little more than $3,000,000 of its allotment on hand no deficiency will be created. Other appropriations were made by Congress for the army aqd navy during the war, but it was found necessary to also utilize the $50,000,000. As the war with Spain was primarily a oaval struggle, most of the money appro­ priated in preparation was spent by the navy. Allotments made by the President fo» the Navy Department amounted to 53-1,068,589.20, and those for the War De­ partment to $18,9<>9,(i27.G8, a total of $50,038,210.90.

President Decides to Give Him More Men than He Asked. Under a plan that has been arranged be­ tween President McKinley and the offi­ cials of the War Department, the Ameri­ can fighting force ic the Philippines will be increased to 35,000 men, all regulars, by the beginning of the dry season. This nutober is 5,000 greater than estimated by Gen. Otis as necessary to quell the insur­ rection. The administration, however, has come to the conclusion that it is better to have a few more troops than just enough required for ail purposes in the Philippine campaign. After a great deal of consideration t>f the subject the determination was reach­ ed by President Mj-Kinfcy and his ad­ visers that in order to provide Gen. Otis with 30,000 troops it would he necessary to give him a surplus nutnbei, so the sick, wounded and those whose tOTms.of enlist­ ment had expired wouM not reduce the force below the estimate of the command­ ing general. All thu6e additional troops will be taken from the regular service. Plans which the officials consider satis­ factory have been prepared, and will be carried into effect when the proper time arrives.. Officers on duty at the War De­ partment said that these plans had been cartfully arranged and would be success­ fully executed wkhout detriment to the service. The plan libely to be adopted is to send two-thirds of nearly every infa it- try regiment and of some of the cavalry regiments to the Philippines, retaining the remaining third of each regiment'for home service and keeping every organization re­ cruited to its full strength.
