HOLIDAYS IN MANILA,
One Hundred and Twenty.Nine
Non. Working Days in a year.

Outside of the Spanish colony in Ma
nilla there is little care for the fashions
as they change from season to season in
Europe and America. The same ma
terial and cut goes in summer and in
winter-or. more accurately, in the wet
seasons and in the dry. There is never
any frost and never occasion for furn-
aces or open fires. Except for cooking
there is plenty of heat in the atmos-
phere the year around.
Men wear white duck suits, with thin
funnel or silk underwear, no linen shirt
or collar, white pith helmets, and white
canvas shoes the year around. The
Spaniards and the Spanish half-castes
go in for style IL little more. The Span
iards are naughty and fond of display
ing their uniforms of blue or white and
their gold trimmings. The half-castes.
or Mestiza. are equally fond of display,
but their attire is somewhat of COM
promise between European and Chinese
modes.
Besides the one year out of seven that
all foreign employees of the great mer-
camille houses represented in Manila
have given to them as ''homc leave"
there is months vacation each year.
IL regular holiday each month. and all
the saints days and Spanish. French,
English, German and American holi-
days. Not to obscre saints day in
Manila is sinful, and everyone holds
such ,infulncss in especial dctcstation.
Figuring in all. the saints days, Sun
days and general holidays, there are
l29 days in each year when these people
do not work.
Clerks earn from 5000 to $1,000 IL
year, besides having lodging found, Il
mess allowance. medical attendance
and travelling expenses. In many cases
their rooms are over the Offices They
work from daylight to noon, rest for
two or three hours. and then work till

in choosing their hours, and are hur-

doing so, however, at the command OF
her majesty.
Shortly after the boat put off the En-
press tainted and the steamer returned to
the pier. Her majesty was taken ashore
at once and carried to her hotel, where
she expired a little later without regain
ing consciousness. It was then found she
had been stabbed and that the assassin's
stiletto had reached her heart. The as
sassin was arrested, and proved to be an
Italian anarchist named Luchheni, who
said that he was born in Paris. The EN-
press had been sojourning in Switzerland
since the last week Of August.
The assassination Of the Empress Eliz-
abeth paralyzed all classes throughout
the Austrian empire. To court and peo-
pie it is a stunning blow that has driven

tons in Vienna, especially on the Fran

Miners Hope1ess1y Struggle On.

A party of miners who arrived at Van
couver from Fort Wrangel, Alaska, re-
late a story confirmatory of previous Ne
ports of the suffering Of prospectors who
tried to get into the Klondike by the Ash
croft route. The party is composed of
James and Frank Hazara, w. Rough and
William Mullin. Their home is at Dol
phin Lake, Manitoba. In an interview
published in an evening paper Mullin
says: 1.-The scenes of distress along the
trail are wildly impressed on our minds.
We passed fully 100 outfits, representing
perhaps sixty men, and many of them
were actually starving. The poor fellows
had in many cases lost everything cloth
ing, horses and provisions-and were
struggling along in half-dazed condition,
eating gophers, ground hogs, squirrels
in fact, anything they could get. They
are a ragged, hungry and desperate crowd
of men, with small hopes of reaching their
destination. Occasionally fortunate
party on the trail gives them provisions,
but none Of us had much to spare. All
along the trail you could see them lying
under the trees and under improvised shell
tiers, trudging helplessly along in the day
time, and often lying down at night with
out a bite to eat 1t is simply terrible"

The ''long'' man and his confrere, the
"short" fellow, are at it again in Chicago.
At o'clock the other morning they went
into Matthew Walsh's saloon, 262 Clark
street, and held up the bartender, David
Mcnamara. They got $50 from the
cash register. That done they threat
ened to kill him if he dared raise
an cutlery and safely made their es-
cape from the place. AS they left the sa-
loon Mcnamara followed them, but they
drove him back inside, threatening to
shoot. Mcnamara watched them until
they reached Jackson boulevard, when
they halted a moment to divide their
booty. They then disappeared. The rob-
bers were the first visitors the bartender
had after he opened the saloon. Ihey
entered as he was turning on the lights
and called for drinks. Mcnamara served
them and they left the place. few mo-
ments later they returned and stood near
the cigar counter in the front part OF the
saloon. Thinking they wanted to buy
cigars Mcnamara went to the cigar case.
He was greeted with the sight OF two
revolvers in the tall mans hands. IF you
say a word we will kill you" said the
man with the weapons; I'VE want all
your cash and want it quick. Throw up
your hands!' Mcnamara obeyed, and the
short man walked behind the bar and
opened the cash register. He took every

Of the Cherokee strip celebrated the fifth

try, according to the proclamation of Pres
ident Cleveland. The Cherokee strip or
