Living In Manila.

Living in Manila, says Joseph Earle
Stevens in McClure's Magazine, is dirt
cheap-if you are not fond of timed
peas and asparagus, that come from
France and Germany.
"Our cook got 40 cents per diem to
supply our table with an entire dinner
for four people, and for . cents extra he
would decorate the cloth with orchids
ard put peas i'll the soup. As a servant,
the native is satisfactory if you have
enough of him. He takes bossing well.
and you can punch his head if things go
wrong In fact, he rather expects it
than otherwise, and does not put his
arms akimbo and march out of the house
when you mildly suggest that the quail
ity of ants in the cake was not up 20
standard. For ants are everywhere, and
unless the legs of your dining table and
cook stove staEd in cups of kerosene, the
ants will be apt to eat the dinner be-
fore you do.
For wages, these boys-and they are
called boys till they die-get some 81 Il
month, and on this salary my own serv-
ant paid 10 per cent TO the government,
supported a wife and two children,
bought all his own food and ran fight
ing cock. 1 don't know how much he
stole, but lie used sometimes to call on
me for an advance, saying that he need
ed funds TO bury some relative. At first
l was touched at his loss, but later on,
when he tried to bury his mother twice
over, found it necessary to keep rec
ord of the family tree i'll order not to be
led into paying an advance on the cost
of two funerals for the same person.

chand on His Way to Retire from

Paris, Nov. lit was reported here
last evening that Dreyfus is dead. The
rumor was understood TO be based upon
a mysterious telegram received from
Colmar. capital of Upper Alsace, signed
by an unknown correspondent. Care
full inquiries made at Co!mar showed
that nothing was known there as to the
death OF Dreyfus. and it was believed
the telegram was a hoax. There is no
official confirmation of the report. The
father-in-law of Dreyfus discredits il.
He says he has received excellent &C
counts from the colonial office quite
recently as to the prisoners health.
Despite these assurances there are dark
run-ors afioat.
Many Believe the Report

which a letter from Dreyfus declaring
that he had abandoned all hope was
conveyed to Nine. Dreyfus last Friday
many people believe he is dead. y dis
patch sent from Paris said that Nine.
Dreyfus applied Friday at the office OF
the minister Of the colonies for permis-
sion to send her husband some warm
clothing for his return home. The re-
quest was refused on the ground that
the government would do whatever was
necessary. At the same time. according
to the dispatch. the authorities read
her a letter from her husband to the
effect that having for five months ad-
dressed appeals for revision TO General
De BoisGehre (reCently chief of staff
of the French army without getting
any reply, and being weary and ex-
haUsted by his useless appeals. he
would write no more to his family or
anybody.

my country the care or rehablitating

Dreyfus then asked permission to tele-
graph her husband the decision Of the
court Of cessation. This request also
was refused. Then, through a friend,
she appealed to President Faure. but
with no better result. The dispatch
said her counsel would bring the whole
matter before the court Of cessation.
