g His excellency was dressed in very
tight SILK trousers, fastened partly up the
sides with snowy chased gold or gilt but
tons, sbo-t ECon-cut olive-green JACKET
with an in Unity of buttons, white socka,
ornamented slippers, red sash around
bis waist, kind of turban, and Kris at
his side. One could almost have imsg-
ined him to be q Spanish bull-fghter
with an Oriental finish-of. We all DO we'd
low, and the Sultan, surrounded by his
Sultanas, put his hands to his temples
and on lowering them he bowed at the
same time. One Sultana was very pretty
or had been so, but the remainder were
heavy, languid, and lazy in their move
ments, and their teeth dyed black did not
embellish their personal appearance.
They wore. light.colored dual garments
of great width, aud light bodices. Their
couture was carefully finished, but IN
,rtuuately part Of the forehead was
hidden by al ugly fringe of hair" 1t is
more than probable that the Sultan will
be source of endless trouble TO our
country. The Spanisrds, from all &C
counts, certainly found him unruly, and
derived but little profii from their suze-
rainty of the islands.

The question which many an America,
has been considering of late ia, what art
the business opportunities the industrial
opportunities in the Philippines? One Of
the features of Harper's Weekly for thf
past month has been i'll special correspon
dence, in which is given the fullest and
m 1st satisfactory Information Oh these
SUBJECTS. Every one who is interested in
this question will find in these letters Jus
what he needs to know.
What are the openings in the Philip
pines? In the first place, a richer land
or group of islands, AS regards area and
population, variety of agricultural, min
ersl, and forest resources undeveloped,
cannot be pointed out on the map of b
world. Every authority on the Far Easl
firms this opinion. There not only gold
and silver, but iron and coal; not only
vast forests of ship and building
woods, but rarest qualities for furnishing,
finishing, and ornameDtin2; not only
great areas given up to the cultivation of
ugar, hemp. tobacco, and coff4e, but
wider reaches of virgin soil untouched
and waiting the pioneer who is supported
by an honest government. There are one
or two railways there should be q score
There are few steamer lines, but ther.
should be system of launches ano
steamers by which every one of these
garden spots could be reached and dever-
oped. The natives will make no trouble.
provided they once know that they are
not to be oppressed and tax ridden. FIR
the year 1894 the combined value of i'm
ports and exports was $50 900 900. 1t
the United States eventually govern
Philippines that amount will go up unit
it passes the 5000 600, 600 mark. In the
order ofimportance the chief experts
were sugar. hemp, tobacco, and coffee,
The Weekly also gives full information
in regard to cost of living and other
essential matters.

TIE BENHAM HOUSE DESTROYED BY FIRE
What has been recently known as the
Benham place, at the corner of StratfOrd

stroyed by fire, last Monday evening.
The fi'e broke out in tue roof, near the

THE SULTAN OF sULU.

By no means the least important of our
new possessions is the Sulu A schipels 60
a group lying south of the Philippine,
and comprising about $50 islands. Like
the Philippines, many of the islands are
barren and uninhabited, but the larger
are fertile and rder the careful tlllage
of most industrious people, who have
the honor of being the frat Mohammedan
subjects of the Uaited States. Our Illus
tration, taken from the current issue of
Harper's Weekly, represents the present
Sultan Of Sulu, who owned allegiance to
Spain up to the present time; and received
from Spain the annual sum of $24O0, bis
salary as ruler of possessions which by
heredity were bis own. The ruler of
Sulu is devoted Mussulman, and &C.
knowledges the supreme authority of the
Turkish Sultan, and the customs of our
Mohammedan fello w-citizens differ but
little from those of the same faith in other
parts OF the world. In view of the feet

The young ladies and little children

lY be realized as belonging to a back

Prof Testers management of his dan

the young people he had met here were

IN MEMORY OF THE LATE c. W.
TANNING.
The "FieId of God" the graveyard lone,
Thither our best beloved has gone;
IT'S but the silent bridge of tears -..
From Time to the Eternal Years.
We miss the smiles, the love he fondly gave,
Hts step shall sound no more;
His voice comes hollow, weird,-'tis from the
grave
Like breakers on some tar-off shore.
"Ther Is no DEATH" the dull tomb talks;
Its voice rings in our ears,
Bidding our souls rejoice
And wait the eternal years.
81 am the way. the truth, the life" our Lord
had said,
Whom tombs could not contain;
II am the resurrection, none are dead
Walt till come again"
The faithful hearts that loved him
Are bending beneath the cross,
Yet bow in meek submission
To one who knows their loss.
Who bids them meekly follow,
Unrnff1 I'D by a frown,
For the Christians cross. though heavy,
Is the cross that bears the crown.
On January 2lst o'clock the hour,
A kind husband, loving father and true friend,
Left us never on this earth to meet again.
