AT UOYKKN'Olt OK SAM AH RKSKXTKD AN 1NSIXT. ttalkuit Rough Killer Threshed a lrunkcii Filipino Orator at tlie Tft Banquet In Manila A Hit of Vitiiubllslied History Follows Uie Taft Party Homo From tho Islands. The San Francisco Call prints the following story concerning an Inci dent of the Taft visit to tho Philip pine: The army people who arrived yes terday on the transport Sheridan, bring from Manila a hitherto unpub lished story of the visit of the Taft party to Manila. The hero Is Captain George Curry, formerly one of Roos evelt's Rough Riders, now governor of Samar. The villain is Cruze Her rera, president of Manila's municipal board. Herrera gave a banquet at his home in honor of the distinguished visitors. Secretary of War Taft was there, Miss Alice Roosevelt and the majority of those who made up the secretary's party. Everything went along beautifully until the toast stage was reached. The host is said to have paid liberal attention to his wine glass, and by the time it came for him to propose a toast, he was labor ing under the handicap of a large sited Jag. To the astonishment of his guests Herrera'a eloquence took the form of an apparently studied Insult to the women of America. He did not get very far, when Captain George Curry, la the words of an officer who return ed on the Sheridan, "pasted him in the face with a glass of champagne." Curry threw glass and all. and would have followed his act of protest by further physical demonstration but for the interference of other guests. That ended the banquet, but Cap tain Curry was not satisfied. A little later. It is said, he saw Herrera rid ing In his carriage. Curry ordered the coachman to stop. He then pull ed Herrera out of the rig and the governor of Samar gave the president of the municipal board a thrashing which for vigorous completeness is aid to rank with what Togo did to the Russian fleet. When Herrara recovered he Is said to have waited on Governor General Wright and tendered an abject apol pgy for what he said about American women. He said he was drunk and not responsible for his words. Wright Is said to have Informed him that of ficially he supposed he would have to accept the apology, but that as a man he could do nothing of the kind, as he believed that drunken men and children spoke their true thoughts, and he. Wright, could have nothing but contempt for the man whose mind pictured the women of America as Herrera had spoken of them. Herrera later was given an indefi nite leave of absence. As official evidence that he had been forgiven, Herrera then Invited Miss Roosevelt and some of her friends to pay another visit to his house and Secretary Taft Is said to have raised a storm of Indignation by Insisting that the Invitation be ac cepted. ' INVEST IN SAX DOMINGO. Janus Turner of Dayton Returns From Productive Island. James Turner, one of the biggest barley growers in the barley belt above Dayton, was in Walla Walla this morning on business, says the Statesman. Mr. Turner returned few days ago from a trip to Porto Ri co, San Domingo and Cubt, made for the purpose of looking up agricultural lands with a view of investing. In San Domingo Mr. Turner took an option on 7000 acres of land that is adapted to growing sugar cane, coffee and other tropical cereals in abund ance. The land lies at the forks of a big river, affording excellent trans portation facilities to New York and eastern market. Mr. Turner has an option on the tract at a price of $r. 00i. and with other Kaytonites will urobably purchase the land and form a company to handle the property, j The Cause of Many Sudden Deaths. There is a disease prevailing in this country most dangerous because so decep tive. Many sudden I deaths are caused j by it heart dis- ease, pneumonia, ! heart failure or apoplexy are often the result ot kid ney disease. If kidney trouble is ' allowed toadvance thekiduev-poison- y, rJtr. ed blood will at tack the vital organs, causing catarrh of she Madder, or the kidneys themselves break down and waste away cell by cell. Bladder troubles almost always result from a derangement of the kidneys and L cure is obtained quickest by a proper 'treatment of the kidneys. If you are feel ing badly you can make no mistake by Isking Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver ami bladder remedy. It corrects inability to hold urine and fccelding pain in passing it, and over comes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often through the day, nd to get up many times during the night. The mild and the extraordinary rflect of Swanip-Ktmt is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is sold bv all druggists iu fifty-cent and oue-doilar size tulllcs.

To tlio American settling In London nothing Is more confusing thnn the nt titudo of Kngllsh servants, their con tempt for the slightest consideration of their feelings ami their fury lit Ihc least Infringement of their rights. At first sight It soenis that in spite of their dignity they accept extraordinari ly small wages, but the American finds housekeeping in London quite expen sive, for not only Is the work so spe cialized thnt an Immense number of tervimts Is required to do It, but they consume a great deal of time and food In live meals a day, which Is consider ed their right. Class distinctions lielow stairs are regarded much more scrupulously than above, and the unfortunate mistress of a house has to understand the grade of every one she employs, from the house keeper to the scullery maid. Woe be llile lier If she confuses an upper and a lower servant or gives an order to the wrong one. An American woman married to an Englishman and settled in London told me that she Installed a dumbwaiter iu the hope of saving trouble to lioth her cook and her liuller. At the end of a mouth she found It unused and on In quiring learned that as It was not the traditional duty of either a cook or a butler to send such a thing as a dumb waiter up and Uowu both refused to touch it, and her food continued to be rarriisl by hand from her remote kitch en. Trouble was nothing to them in comparison to the danger of compro mising their position. Ainslce's Mag azine. TAINTED ATMOSPHERES. Haw Fame of Alcohol and I'nlsona Mar Kndanaer Health. Btirton-on-Trent, the center of the English brewing Industries, hns the pe culiar faculty of mildly Intoxicating the stranger within Its gates. The res ident has become accustomed to the mildly alcoholic fumes which arise from the innumerable brewing vats, but the susceptible stranger tluds ex hilaration and fiunlly a mild form of intoxication in the atmosphere an ef fect which does not wear off for sev eral hours after his arrival. On every hand the big brewing houses are throwing off fumes from the vats of malted liquors, and, while these are Im perceptible to the resident, more thnn a thousand authentic instances are said to have lieeu recorded of persons to whom the air has proved to possess probities tlmt both cheer anil inebri ate. iJUst as in certain parts of the west the a men Ions fumes from the smelters destroy vegetation and Imperil health, the vapors of the English brewing cap ital destroy the sobriety of the abstain er and fill his head with vagrant fan cies. As mnny visitors to the place are actuated by a desire to see for them selves the great Industry which they are doing their modest best to suppress and as they are the most sensitive to the atmosphere of the town, those who gain their living from the brew houses take great delight in observing these involuntary lapses from principles. New York Ilerald. The Red Jacket Medal. Before tho North American colonies revolted it was the Rritlsh custom to present medals to Indian chiefs with whom treaties were made. These med als bore a figure of the reigning Rrit ish sovereign on the obverse and em blems of peace on the reverse and were called Indian medals. After the Declaration of Independence Washing ton presented a United States medal to the Seneca chief, Ra-go-ya-wat-ha (He Keeps Them Awake), who wbb knowu popularly as Red Jacket. This Red Jacket medal is interesting as one of the earliest of the medals Issued by the first president of the great repub lic across the sea. Pearson's Weekly. Her Iden ot ecellle.

"My dear Mr. Softly." replied the stern parent, "you have scarcely im proved your time In her society if you do not know that she considers all the luxuries of life far more necessary than the necessities." The Vlee of Idleness. Of all vices to which young men be come slaves Idleness is by no means the least. It is a vice easily contracted in youth and bard to throw off In man hood or old age. Unfortunately It Is not generally looked upon as an evil in the sense that drinking, gambling and debauchery are evils, yet Its Influence is no less certain In breaking down character and sapping physical and In tellectual strength.

A COSTLY BREAKFAST. When Kan's Were .Worth Their Weight In Uold In Snn Francisco. Hens' eggs were worth their weight In gold, writes Thomas E. Karish iu one of his stories of the very earl days In San Francisco. A couple of young men who had recently landed from Tennessee dropped Into Aldrlch's for breakfast oue morning. Not being aware of the rarity and consequent I prices of eggs Ju California (Ul4 ll"Ving I five dollars still left wltli which to paj I for breakfast for two, they calmly or dered their usual breakfast of eggs and toast. When the bill was presented the young gentlemen saw, to their con sternation, that the amount was $10. They had only fo. What was to be done? After a consultntlou together it was decided that one of them should remain while the other went out to look for Colonel (lift, an old time friend whom they knew to be In the city. The colo nel was soon found, who, after hearing the story of his young friend and ask ing who was with him, inquired what they had had for breakfast. "Eggs," was the reply. "Eggs! Eggs!" exclaimed the colo nel. "Did you not know, you blankety blank fool; that bens lay gold In Cali fornia?"' "I did not, but I do," said our young friend. "Well," continued the colouel kindly, handing over a fifty dollar gold slug, "take this and remem ber after tills that you are not In Ten nessee, where eggs arc given away." THE GAME OF GOLF. A Pastime of Kings, With a Record or Over Four Hundred Years, A game with a history of more than WO yenrs must necessarily have some Interesting records. Golf has been greatly liked by kings. In the time of .lames I. it was generally practiced by all classes. The unfortunate Charles I was devoted to golf. While on a visit In Scotland in HJ41, as he was deeply engaged In a game news was brought him of the breaking out of a rebellion In Ireland, and the royal golfer threw down his club and retired in great agl tatlou to Holyrovd House. When be was imprisoned at Newcastle his keeper kindly permitted him to take recreation on the (foiling links with his Iraiu. It Is said that Mary, queen of Scots, was seen playing golf in the Held beside Seaton a few days after the murder of her husband. In 183 1 a magnificent gold medal was present ed lo St. Andrew's by William IV., to l)C played for annually. One of the earlier kings forbade the importation of golf balls from Holland because it took away "ua small quantitle of gold and sliver out of the kingdome of Scotland," and at oue time "golfe and futeball and other unprofitable games" were forbidden In England because archery, so necessary In the defense of the nation, was being neglected In their favor.

As the plants which are combined with the figs in the manu facture of Syrup of Figs are known to physicians to act most beneficially upon the system, the remedy has met with their general approval as a family laxative, a fact well worth con sidering in making purchases. It is because of the fact that SYRUP OF FIGS is a remedy of known quality and excellence, and approved by physicians that has led to its use by so many millions of well informed people, who would not use any remedy of uncertain quality or inferior reputation. Every family should have a bottle of the genuine on hand at all times, to use when a ixative remedy is required. Please to remember that the genuine Syrup of Figs is for sale in bottles of one size all reputable druggists and that full name of the .California Fig Syrup Co., is plainly printed on of every package.
