HOLIDAYS IN MANILA.
AT One Time There Were Over Forty
In Every Year.

''Iife in Manila is the subject of
an article by Wallace Cumming in the
Century. Mr.. Cumming says:
Manila loves holidays. AT one time
there were over forty in each year.
The number has been sadly diminished
though there are still thirteen left I
understand. Each Pueblo has its saint
and on that saints day the inhabit-
ants give themselves over. as they do
on the great holidays of the church. to
music, fireworks. cock fighting. pro-
ceSSions, etc.
Almost all these professions took
place at night, and the effect was most
picturesque. There would be line
of marcherS, men, women and chill
dren. walking in single file on each
side of the street. every one with
lighted candles in his hand At inter

valua bic. In these cases there was al
ways a band of soldiers with fixed
bayonetS about the image. Often there
would be thousands of people walking
in these professions, and all the while
ii was moving tens of thousands of
rockets and bombs would be fired.
These rockets and bombs are home
made. The rockets consist only of a
Joint of bamboo filled with powder eX-
ploding with great noise but with little
light. The bombs are simply a hand
full of powder tightly wrapped with
hemp. They cost a mere trif1e, but
make a great noise. and no fiesta is
complete without plenty of them.
The most curious procession is par
ticipated in only by natives and the |
poorer mestiZOs. 1t takes place. if !

and is Il high solemnity. Every one
in the procession is robed in /
his grave clothes. The garment is

and it comes to the ground. The
effect is very strange. 1t may seem
strange that grave clothes are pro-
Tided before they are needed. but in
Manila they are considered a prime
necessity. The ordinary dress of the
native man is trousers and shirt of
'piece-goOdS'' Calico, the shirt being

GENERAL wEYLER's LOVE n
NANCE.


General Weyler is a Republican, a,
follower of CASTELAR,, and, although
one would not suspect it from his rep
utation. has always been an advocate
of Spanish liberty and the abolition
of the throne. He is as much feared
by the Carlists as by the Bourbons.
and the latter fear him more than Don
Carlos. although 1 understand he has
recently and in person pledged his
loyalty to the queen regent.
One of my friends among the Off
GERS of Cervera's fleet tells me that
Weyler demonstrated his republican
ism at his marriage many years ago,
and makes the hero of a romance both
sensible and sentimental. When he
was a subaltern in the garrison of
fort on the island of Majorca in the
Mediterranean he fell in love with the
daughter of a winegrower, who had
a small vineyard and owned his own
home but belonged to the peasant
class and with the aid of his family
to make out a comfortable
living. The girl was attractive, ply
and mentally. but had no more
than her class. and that was
confined to reading and writing and
the lives of the saints. Weyler de-
termined to marry her, although he
knew that such an act would ALLEVIATE
him from his family. Nevertheless he
invited the officers of his garrison to
attend the ceremony and to accom-
panv him afterward to a convent in
the neighborhood, where he left his
bride to be educated. She lived there
for two years. and came out lady
When he considered her fitted to share
his social position she came to him
from the convent and was presented
to his family and friends. Sonora

BATH OF PACIFIC ISLANDERS.
Nature Supplies Soap and Scrubbing
Brushes.

| Nature Supplies Soap and Scrubbing
Brushes.
When American civilization takes
hold of the new task which conquest
has set before it in the Pacific it will
not have to bother about the virtue
which comes next to goodness. If the
Pacific islanders are not clean it is not
for lack of bathing frequently This
holds true all the way from Hawaii
westward to the Philippines The peo-
pie make a practice of bathing at least
once a day. giving themselves a scrub
bing as efficient as the means at hand
allow. and often they have several
baths daily.
In some of the smaller islands of the
Carolines there is no fresh water. and
they drink the brackish percolation of
sea water in pits dug above high water
mark OH the beaches; even where this
is the case, the percolated water is
used for bathing. Nowhere do the peo-
pie look upon a dip in the ever-present
sea as bath. in fact it is held to ne
cessitate an immediate bath in fresh
water TO wash off the salt. Among
most of the Polynesians it is a great
insult 10 say that n man shows marks
of the sea water ON his body.
Where the supply of water is suffi-
cient, and there is no lack except on
the sand inlets under the equator, ev-
cry island village is built with refer
ence to convenient access to a river, or
at least large pool, whether natural
or made by damming some water
course. Here the community battles

veniently on the trees which screen
the pool. This is a large green orange

REMOVED THE TRAITORS
Disloyalty to Silver Republicans
the Cause.
T0WNE HELPING TELLER
The National Chairman Has Removed
Broad and Freeman-It Will Give
Teller's Friends Control OF
the Convention.

Denver, Sept. 6.-Charles Towne.
chairman of the silver republican ma
tiona committee, arrived in this city
to-day. He comes for the purpose Of
urging the silver republicans to stand
firmly by Senator Teller n defeat the
attempt which it is said Is being made
by supporters of Senator Wolcott to
prevent fusion of silver republicans
with the democrats and populists in the
coming campaign.
Late this afternoon Chairman Towne
removed Richard Broad from the posi-
ton of chairman of the silver republi-
can state central committee of Colorado
and William X. Freeman from the posi-
ton of secretary of the same committees
on the ground of ~disloyalty to the silver
republican party and the cause IL
stands for.
Chairman Towne appointed James II
Blood of Denver as chairman of the
state committee and w. II. Griffith as
secretary. This action was taken by
Chairman Towne on representations in
writing by Senate Teller, Congress
man Shafroth and National Committee
man Stevenson to the effect that fraud
ulent contests have been instituted in a
sufficient number of counties so that
one-half of the state convention to be
held at Colorado Springs on Thursday
next will be made up OF contested dele
gates, and that Chairman Broad n
Secretary Freeman have Joined in a
conpiracy to give the Mckinley repub-
licans or followers of Senate Wolcott
control of the convention and enable
them TO prevent fusion with democrats
and populists in the coming campaign.
The effect of Chairman Towne's action
will be to put the friends of Senator
Teller in control of the convention.
