Spanish officials who, with garrisons of
fully $4,000 soldiers, exact outrageous
taxes from every inhabitant within
reach.
The largest city in the Philippines is
Manila, the capital of Luzon. The
nearest port to it on the mainland is
Hongkong, which can be reached by a
sail Of 60 hours on P. and o. steamer.
Manila and its suburbs have popu-
lation of about $50, 900, Of whom only
about 10, 900, including troops, govern
ment officials and the clergy, are Euro
pean. The number of English speaking
people in the island is but a few hun
bred, Spanish being the commercial and
official language. The rest are mostly
Malays, Chinese, natives and half
castles.
Although Manila seems to us to be
in such faraway corner of the earth,
it is in daily communication by steamer
and cable with the rest of the world,
and doubtless the result of our coming
presidential election will be published
there before it is in some of the smaller
towns Of our own country, although but
a handful of islanders will deign to
read the item. If it were not for the
earthquakes, occasional typhoons and
regular epidemics of cholera, Manila
would be an ideal spot to live in. For
a tropical country, the climate is de-
lightful. AS for the country itself, it is
a regular garden of Eden, where all
sorts of edible luxuries grow in album
dance.
The natives are lazy, but pleasant and
unaggressive folk, who would be per-
fectly happy if Spain did not compel
them to work occasionally to pay the
capita tax, which is assessed with liberal
hand. Business is mostly monopolized
by the Chinese. They are the merchants,
and many of them become rich. The
half castles, or Mestizas, are the produc-
ing class. They own big sugar and to-
bacco plantations and often become ex-
tIemely wealthy. The picture accom-
panying this article is that of 16-year-
old Mestizas girl who is heiress to 49,
900, 00O She is just at the manageable
age, bOO, 81 yOu ECU unO = A'tPPAhoo
would not be bad place for an accom-
plished fortune hunter to visit. She
would make a good wife, too, for she
has been educated by a French governess
and knows how to dress with good taste
The waist she wears is an article known
in Manila as pima corsage. 1t is made
of pineapple fiber and is worth 81, 900.
There are other things beside sealslrin
sacks which are expensive. She prob
ably is betrothed to a young Mestizas
dude, however, who wears a high col
lar, the regulation full dress, and, &C
cording to the custom of his class, al
lows the tails of his white shirt to fall
gracefully outside his trousers after the
Chinese mode S. P. ScHENcK

Your local doctor may be good old man,
but YOU shudder when he suggests local
treatment for the weakness and diseases pc.

ally unnecessary, but the doctor doesn't
know it. He is perfectly honest, but he is
behind the times. He does the best he can,
no doubt but his best is not good enough.
He is not a specialist. He is general prac-
titioner worried and bothered and hurried
in giving attention to a thousand and one

BOWLING TEAMS SPLIT EVEN.

Interest in League Work on the In
crease-Sta nding of the Teams.
A set of tenpn games in the District
Bowling League series was bowled last
night on the alleys of Carroll Institute
between the home team and the lusty
young bowers from the Young Mems
Catholic Club The teams split even, the
Y NJ. c. c., winning the first game by forty
two pins, aud the Carrolrs capturing
the second by the handsome margin OF
10l pins.
The bowling was of the steady order, and
exceptionally high. Individual scores were
made, every man being satisfied to hold
his own, and, as a consequence, team
bowling of the best sort resulted.
The large number of spectators in at
tendance impartialy applaUded all good
plays and difficult spares made.
O'Connor, the stccky little bowler OF
the Y. NJ. c. c., led his team and the even
ing with a 192 game, aud Armstrong, of
the Carroll Institute, came next with lSl,
besides accomplishing the feat OF bowling
his last game without a break until the last
box, when he ''fell down."
b. Locraft and Whclan, of the Carroll
Institute put up their usual stroug game
and B. Lehman, OF Y. NJ. c. c., bowlcd
steadily throughout. Neither Rice nor

standard.
