To a lover of music Manila is a

numerous bands. Those of the three
regiments then stationed there were re-

each week they played in turn on the

of the bay just outside the old walls.

make it an occasion to be long remem-

the effect was heightened by the repe-

city walls added touch of reality.
During the height of the rainy sea-

The streets in Manila, and some of the
roads for few miles outside, are fair

quickly become nearly impossible when
the rains set in. AS 1 have already
mentioned, Manila is intersected in all
directions by creeks, which are trav-

canoes are dugouts, often of great size,
and the natives are most expert in
handling them. They are indispensa-

Uncle Jerry lives several counties
away from the state metropolis, but
occasionally comes down to visit his
more prosperous brother, who likes to
joke Jerry because he had always op-
posed the city in pursuit of fortune.
But Uncle Jerry is good deal of talk
er himself. and when his dander is up
can say pointed things about as fast
as rapid-fring gun can throw shot.
"Well,' said the Detroit member of
the family, in a self-satisfied way, 81

such horses and carriages as | have
here. Besides that, my bank account

Jerry who hates aristocratic preten
sionS worse than he does potato bugs
After an evening spread in which
the chatting dish played conspicuous
part, the Detroit brother took another
occasion to air himself, his chief pur-
pose to 'josh" his rural brother.
Rather a handsome dinirgroom,
hey, Jerry? Lays over your banquet

with an elegant finger bowl, ''do you,

SHOULD DESIGNATE RACE,
Indictments DO Not Show Whether the
Party Is White or Coorcd.
Savannah News.)

The absence OF any provision for in
dieting the color OF q party to II pro-
ceeding In court, especially upon a
criminal indictment, has led to some
confusion in many instances, and is
liable to do so at any time.
Legally, Of course, the color OF a
criminal, makes no difference, since the
law makes no DETERMINATIONS; but 1t Is
desirable in many INSTANCES, If not in
all to have the court record In the case
of Indictments; show whether the defend
ant IS white or colored.
There Is no law on the Gt.ttute books
requiring court officials to show upon
indictments whether the party indicted
is white or cOlOred, nor is there any law
against 1t. 1t would be comparatively
easy matter, for instance, to put n
small (c) In parenthests, next to the
name OF the party indicted In case he
is colored, 80 that the race might 1e

from the court records. This could be
done without making any allegation IN
the indictment that the person is or Is
not u person of color, which might not
be desired
a day or two ago an account was
given In the Morning News OF about
dwenty indictments Tor various misde-
meanors found by the City Court grand
jury DIT was impossible to tell by an
examination of the indictments whether
the parties indicted were white or col
orcd, and therefore 1t was not stated.
rms led to an inquiry from n stranger
IN savannah, who wanted to know why
the race was not designated, since, he
said, any stranger might be led to be-
lieve that all OF those indicted were
white people. In making notes of his
travels this matter happened TO attract
his attention.
AS matter of fact cut of the nine
teen or twenty indictments found, only
three or the parties indicted were white,
ana all the Others culorCd. This Is true
IN both OF the courts. it being impossible
to tell from the indictment OF any of
the court records whether the parties
are white or coiorcd
Confusion is likely to result from this
state of affairs in other ways. There
are many negroes who are found among
the criminal class who have the same
names as well knlwn white people 1t
would be impossible to tell from the
court record whether the party indicted
Is John Smith, white. or John Smith.
