The natives at the time Of Magellan
were savages in the interior and partly
civilized on the coast owing to Chi
nese traders and colonists. Mere than
half were Moslems The rest were cos
molaters, spirit worshipers, devil wor-
shippers and pagans. The inquisition
and the military power suppressed Is
lam in the larger part of Luzon and on
many of the smaller islands, but only
made the unconquered more ferocious
toward the followers of the cross. Even
today there are districts where no priest
or official dare go without heavy guard.
Another product of fierce persecution
is found in hypocrisy and secret rites.
Many natives who profess Christianity
are really Mohammedans, and some
still worship craven images. Buddhism
in its Chinese form has made some
progress, but on account OF the difficulty
in respect to language and the stern
laws of the colony it is impossible to
determine the extent.
Head hunting, an ancient Malay Gus.
tom, is still practiced in Luzon and Min
danao. the two largest islands of the
group. The custom seems survival OF
some ancient religious ceremony and is
governed by code of legendary laws.
Cannibalism is also said to be practiced
oy few tribes in Mindanao.

see that play announced we think of what Il

is, and wonder why the ladies shed SO many
tears Of sympathy over his well-deserved
fate. come to the conclusion that it is the
personality and magnetism OF the actor that
= SO effective, rather than the sympathy for
worthless Rip Van Winkla. Mr. Jefferson
holds his audience in the same sympathetic

character, and are prepared to admire every
thing he does. The sale Of seats will open
