MANILA STREET SCENES.

Drays Which Move Pianos
Manila cannot be said to be up with
the rest of the world as regards milk
carts and express wagons. True, q milk
service is there, and it is no trouble for
a family to have their household furni
ture moved, but no horses figure in the
operation. The milkman carries his
stock in trade, generally the milk of
the water buffalo, in jar hung on
stick over his shoulder. On the other
end of the stick is the pitcher with
which to dole the milk out to his Gus
toners. When passing from one house
to the other the milkman, barefooted
and barelegged, assumes a regular dog
trot and reminds one Of the small boy
playing stick horse, except that the
stick is over his shoulder.
The "drays'' of the city are mostly
Chinese. Whether 1t is grand piano
or an office safe that is to be moved, the
man who has the placing of the job
calls in one or a dozen of these power
fully built and soantily clad fellows,
who always seem to be going some
place, either with a load on their shout
ders or carrying smooth bamboo pole
with some bits of rope or bamboo sings
upon it. When the burden is divisible,
the Chinaman puts half on each end of
the pole and placing his shoulder,
which seems to be of pure gristle, in
the center of the pole, works his legs
until the load arrives at it's consign-
ment place. When the burden is cum
bersome, it is slung on the center of the
pole and one man shoulders each END.
The pace assumed reminds one of the
person who has swung on to a too heavy
load and has resolved to cover as much
ground as possible with it before he
drops it. The Manila express wagon
never drops his load. He even changes
shoulders as he glides along. These fell
lows are perfect specimens of manhood,
and never fail to elicit admiration from
the American soldier boys as they hustle
past, shoulders barred and glistening in
the hot sun, barefooted and clad in
short pyjamas or breechclout. 1t is
safe to say each one can carry a burden
several times his own weight. The
muscles in their backs are wonderfully
developed. and as to their legs-they
would make wonderful bicycle propel
lers. Cor. Rocky Mountain News.

A COMMUNICATION.
I'm Self Defense"

Editor HERALD:-Please allow me
space to say to the kind people OF Ell
Paso that we thank them very much
for their kindness to our church and
it's pastor of the last year, who was
Rev. r. M. Rickmsn. We learned
that the white speople were friendly
toward him, and assisted him In his
pastoral work, of which 1 am glad, in
deed, to know. I would have liked
very much to have returned him as
pastor, or got the bishop to have done
so.
But he, Hickman, had had maidstone
ministerial mistakes, such as turning
out members of the church without in
vestigation or notification, contrary to
the law of the African Methodist Epls-
copal church. After this matter was
settled as per discipline, and the MEM
bers were pronounced not out OF the
church, Rev. Hickman informed me as
presiding elder Of the Waco district.
which includes Ell Paso, that he did
not want to return to Ell Paso as pas
tor.
1 thought it good sense in him, know
ing that after that he would be looked
on as being ignorant OF the law OF his
own church. So at the annual confer
ence, held at San Marcus, Texas, Nov.
oath to 2Sth, Rev. II. Brown was as
signed to Ell Paso, and Rev. Hickman
was assigned to ST. Luke circuit, with
sixty-five memb ers, near Waco College,
where he could employ the fragments
of his time in school, that he might
learn theology and be better prepared
to break the bread of eternal life to
the flock of Christ.
But am sorry to say he has givenup
and returned his appoint
ment back in my hands or the bish-
ops, and has gone to Ell Paso, to cut
off Rev. Brown, and stir up all the
malice and strife and HATRED, and
even leading those dear, kind people.
who have never read our book OF
to war against the bishop
Of the church.

RAILWAY PRO-
MOTER ARRESTED

the Mails For Fraudulent Purposes
George Washington Lee, the man
who proposed to build an up to date
electric street railway for Ell Paso, ia
now in durance vile.
His most brilliant schemes now count
for nought and his most fattering
promises to the citizens committee are
but as the whispers of the wind that
rustles the dead leaves in the plaza
| and disturbs the alkai dust.
George Washington Lee was not
content with posing as a capitalist and
bilking the citizens committee, but. he
undertook to make use of uncle Sam g
mail tOfurther his nefariOus schemes.
He advertised for agents at princely
salaries and told them to send 35c by
mail.
Hundreds sent the money, but Uncle
Sans secret service agents are ever
vigilant an sGeorge Washington Lee
was suspected of fraud and q large
number of his letters were held at the
Ell PasO Office.
He quietly took his departure but
unwisely made 1t known that he was at
Dallas. A warrant was issued for him
the next day. The HERALD was aware
of its issuance, but agreed not to pub
lish the fact until sufficient time had
elapsed to permit of the arrest OF Lee
The warrant was issued by the
United States court and charged
George Washington Lee with using
the mails for fraudulent purposes.
Lee was arrested in Dallas, Deem
Der q, and the Dallas News, which ar
rived this morning, contains the fol-
lowing:
Quite dramatic incident took place
yesterday afternoon at the postoffice
building, when Capt. w. M. Warden,
deputy United States marshal, arrested
a we'll dressed and intelligent-looking
white man on a telegram from Ell Paso
Tex, eaying he was using the mails to
defraud.
The man arrested was getting his
mail st the west side, when Capt. War
den stepped up, placed his hand on the
others shoulder, and said:
81 have q warrant for you"
The man turned hastily and said:
"What do you want with me?"
Throw up your hands and 1 will
deputy replied.
The stranger was then searched for
weapons, and none being found was Or
dered to precede the deputy up stairs.
The man who gave his name as
George w. Lee, was taken before
United States Commissioner G.. Fl.
Lednum on charge made at Ell Paso
of using the mails to defraud. The
accused was bound over in the sum of
$1,000 for appearance before the United
States district court at Ell Paso the
first Monday in April.
