Christmas Observed NJ Man,Ia.

MANILA, Dec. 27.-Christmas was
generally observed among the Amer.
leans here with religious services by the
Professionals and Catholics alike. Father
McKinnon preached sermon to the
California regiment, although the usual
midnight mass was not held, as the

A number of our democratic ex-
changes are trying to throw odium on
Iowa congressman for voting for the
anti-scalping bill. 1t is more than like
ly that the most of them do not know
the provisions of the bill. We have

provisions as wrong. Prejudiced de-
nunciation is one thing and argument
another.
