TOLLS PAID IN HORSESHOES
Survival of n Curious Old Custom
Building Up Remarkable Coll
lection In England.

One of the most curious survivals of
the custom of paying tolls exists at
Oakham castle, in Rutlandshire. From
very ancient times whenever a peer of
the realm rides by the place he is re-
quired by the constable of the castle
to contribute a horseshoe in lieu of a
fine. These are then hung upon the
walls of room in the castle, which is
thought to have been formerly used as
a chapel. The custom still obtains,
though nowadays noblemen who pass
through the town generally contribute
shoes of some precious metal, richly
decorated and bearing their coat-of-
arms. Quite lately the earl of Onslow
forwarded to j. +. Whitehouse. the con-
stable of Oakham castle. new horse
shoe, richly decorated, bearing the in
scription: William Hitler, Fourth
Earl of Onslow.'
Another nobleman who was driving a
tendem through the town short time
ago was called upon for the customary
shoe. When il arrived ii was found to
be of pure gold and beautifully chased
Ii is now one of the most interesting OBJ
lects in the collection.

and II was not until 1868 that they Sc
cured another opportunity Tor any
voice in their government. At that
time an assembly of reformists was
convened in Manila by authority OF the
revolutionary government which mad
deposed Queen Isabella ii. But the es-
tablishment of this assembly was but
farce, as all reforms voted for the col
ony were subject TO ratification by the
government at Madrid. Because of the
prevalence of monastic influence the
reforms voted at Manila all failed of
ratification at Madrid, and so were
never carried into effect, and the Phil
ippine assembly soon ceased to exist
The monastic influence that had prac-
tically killed the assembly kept grow
ing stronger each year until the usual
ly patient native would bear the indig-
mites inflicted upon him by the friars,
who were the real governors of the cell
ony, no longer, and on the goth of Au-
gust. 1896. the rebellion that had SO long
been simmering broke out in earnest.
The rebels had planned to open the
tragedy for which they had been pre-
pairing for SO long time, with general
slaughter of Spanards in Manila, but
a native woman who knew of the plot
confessed her knowledge to one of the
friars, only ar hour before the appoint
ed time, and it was frustrated
At the time of the breaking out of
this rebellion Spain had in the islands
not more than $500 Spanish troops,
REINFORCED by questionable native
contingent of about 5000. OF the Span
ish troops, not more than 700 were in
Manila, but this force was sufficient to
infiict a severe punishment upon the
leaders of the rebellion in Manila,
among which were many of the best of
the native families. In fact il did not
take an interest in the rebellion to en-
danger ones liberty Nearly all of the
natives and Chinese, who were not d.
rect tools of either the friars or the
Spanish government, and whose wealth
was worth eontiscating, were in danger
of imprisonment, if not of death, at the
hands of the church or the governor
general.
While the rebellion ragged fiercely al
around Manila, il grew TO greater pro
portions in Cavite province than else
where. In Cavite province the rebe
headquarters was established at Silan

THEY KISSED VICTORIA.
Death of the Last Member of the SO-
ciety of the Royal Kiss
in Paris.

Mrs. Eleanor Jeffreys, English, from
Raleigh, Essex, died in this city, aged
%, saws a Paris correspondent. With
her disappeared the Society of the Kiss
Royal. of which she was the only sur
viving member.
The society was composed originally
of As young women who had kissed
Queen Victoria at the cost of shilling
each. That happened when her gra-
cious majesty was an infant in the
cradle.
One day her nurse had taken her out
in a pony cart for an airing in Rich
mond park. The tiny princess was
recognized by the students of one of the
most aristocratic girls schools in Lon
don. They surrounded the little car
riage and one of the girls offered to
give the nurse a shilling if she would
let her kiss the pretty baby. The nurse
accepted.
Then all the other students, amid
great laughter and endearments to the
child, in turn paid the toll and kissed
quite little sum.
When Victoria had succeeded TO the
throne of England the girls who had
kissed the queen formed friendly as
sociation, the Society of the Kiss Royal,
which Victoria honored shortly after
ward with very gracious, good
hundred autograph letter. that finally
passed into the possession of Mrs. JEFF
freys, the last member.

Mother nature is a great artist, and

months or even years for her to COM

Onions, from leeks to Bermudas, are

sorrel, in soup of PURGE, as they cook 1t

break of the rebellion he issued proc
lamation on his own account and be-
gan rallying force OF natives around
him. This proclamation, while the first
issued by the rebels, did not state the
objects of the rebellion.
1t was not until October, 1896, that
any definite purpose was announced by
the rebel leaders. Then the Iagal re-
public was established by proclama-
ton. During this time the fame and
influence of Aguinaldo had spread rap
idly. but it was still not sufficient for
him to secure the presidency of the new
republic. and Andreas Bonifacio was
chosen the president by the leaders OF
the rebellion. But a few months later
Bonifacio died and Aguinaldo succeed
ed him as the rebel leader, a position
which he,has retained ever since.
While the struggle lasted for year
and half, the rebels never won any de-
cisive battle, but by system of guer-
rilla warfare kept the territory around
Manila continually harassed. The
Spanish captain general was unable TO
secure from Spain sufficient troops to
garrison the entire affected territory,
10000 men being the greatest number
of soldiers the home government could
send him, because of the continued
drain caused by the Cuban rebellion,
and he was glad to secure peace on any
terms which would assure Spanish SOW
ereignty. The peace treaty between

Philippines is but practically
u continuation of that which con-
fronted Spain in 1896, and which result
ed in the establishment of the Philip
nine republic as ii still exists. In fact,
nearly all of the many proclamations
issued by the Filipinos at the breaking
out of hostilities between Spain and the
United States announced that because
the treaty made with the Filipino lead
ers, known as the treaty of Biac-na-
bato, had not been fulfilled the leaders
of that rebellion were absolved from
any agreement they had made with the
Spanish, and that they were called upon
to again take up arms in behalf OF the
Filipino people against Spain and as al
lies of the Americans. And so 1t is that
the present rebellion is but legacy left
US by Spain. A history of that rebellion
and the establishment of the Philippine
republic is not uninteresting.
AS far back as 1910 Spain had given
the native Filipinos a taste OF that POI
litical liberty which afterward cost the
mother country SO dearly. This came
as a result of the first suffrage bill ever
passed in Spain, which was done in Jan
uary, 1910. Under this law deputies
chosen by the people were assembled
at Madrid from all of the Spanish colo
MES. From time - time until 1887 the
islands were represented x the Span
ish cortes, but after 1897 such polit!e~l
privileges were denied the islanders.

liberty of public meeting and of
the press, and general am
nesty. There were deposited by Spain
100000 pesetas in the Bank of Hong
Kong, ostensibly not for his private use,
but the interest," of which was TO be de-
voted TO the education of Filipino youths
in Europe and the principal to be de-
voted to the purchase of arms provided
Spain failed to fulfill the treaty obliga-
tions.
1t is needless 10 say that Spain did
not fulfill her treaty obligations. and
that none OF the 100000 pesetas were
used in the purchase of arms to continue
the rebellion, or that the interest was
used to educate Filipino youths. But
Aguinaldo, the former village school
master, lived in luxury in ng-Kong
until the arrival of the American feet
that severed SPANS relations to the
Philippines for all time to come.

Why. the trouble is that folks carry

many things we lose from one weeks
end to the ether. OF course we expect
cutlery to go. That always happens,
and there are some folks who would no
more think OF leaving restaurant
without stealing n knife or fork than
they would think of going out bare
headed. But when they come to lug
ging away salt cellars, and sugar
bowls, and tumblers, and even soup
plntes-why, that's carrying the joke
too far" "Oh, come, now!" protested
the guest who received these conf
dences, they surely don't steal sugar
bowls and soup plates!"

ed Trouble Among Barbers," allow me
to state, in the name of the BARRIERS
Protective Union. that our union is
banded together for the elevation of
our craft Our constitution prohibits
our members patronizing non-union
concerns, and as the Mason Laundry is
not unionized our members decided at
a special meeting to withdraw their
patronage from said laundry. All
members were accorded the same right
to speak on the matter. SO was Mr..

tion he pledged to uphold.
