why Manila Is One Day Behind.

Manila is one of the most important
ports in the Philippine islands, but, strange
to say, is one day behind all other places
of its size in the world This curious fact
is accounted for in this way; Although the
Philippine islands lie near the Asiatic
coast, they were discovered by Spaniards
who sailed from America. When they
crossed the magic line where Sunday sud
denly changes into Monday, these fiery
d0ns Of proud Castilian ancestors did not
revise their calendar. When told of this
years later-when informed that then
mode of reckoning time was not up to
modern notions, they only said that that
was so much the worse for modern notions
Anyhow, the fact remains that these Phil
ippine islanders keep plodding along ont
day behind all the rest Of the world, which
rcekons time by new style.-St, Louis Re

Since the Every Evening has said so

bo collector Mckee for ts8es received,
Messrs. Mahaify and Watson have
gone over the list very carefully In

that tho total amount paid to Mckee

From this the committee deducted

Tor, but because they did not appear

time, the committee TO be on the sure
side OF right, did lot count them in

lively paid TO Mckee was made to APP

that then from the s259, ~, reduces the
