drinking water, which is one of the most
praiseworthy improvements undertaken by
the Spanish Government within the past few
years. To ensure this beneficial work being
carried out, Spanish philanthropist of the
last century, named Carriedo, who was com
mander of an old-fashioned galleon trading
between Mexico and Manila, left a sum of
money in order that the capital and accumu-
lated interest might one day defray expense.
So the benevolent bequest was banked at
compound interest for hundred years. The
water supply (Which comes from Santolan on
the Pasig river), being more than sufficient
for general requirements, the city and suburbs
WERE little by little, adorned with fountains.

The Filipinos have their church parade on
Sunday morning. No island is so far removed
from contact with the outer world that it dis
penses with this all important function. Pro
badly the native first learned this custom
from the Spaniards themselves, who not My
have their church parade every Sunday, but
also have daily parade in the cool of the
evening, when gallant cavaliers curvert their
fiery steeds for the benefit of black eyed duen
mas. Of course the whole thing first origin
ated from the desire of man and woman
through latent vanity to display their person
to the best advantage. This, as everybody
knows, is in common with all living beings

The grave of Mrs. William Whitney at
Douglast is undoubtedly the best guarded
grave in the world
Under the wealth of hot-house flowers
that cover her grave on hill top overlooking
the Little Neck Meadows the freshly turned
earth is sown with powerful torpedoes. The
coffin is hemmed about with them, and the
ghoul who undertakes to strike his spade be-
meath the surface would invite swift destruc.
ton Nor is this the only precaution taken by
MIR. Whitney for the purpose of guarding the
resting-place of his dead. Night and day
two men are posted there to watch over the
grave. One is detective and the other
partolman. The villagers of Douglaston
take keen interest in these taciturn watch
men, who smoke their pipes in the shadow
Of Zion Church.

devoted mother, she takes absolutely no in

State. She has an extraordinary aversion to
medical men, though she is ever in search of a
patent remedy for her chronic complaint
rheumatism-and anyone who succeeds in
recommending even temporary cure earns
her most profound regard. She drinks an
inordinate amount of coffee, a custom that
amongst some of her country people com.
mences at dawn and ends only with day

President Kruger is said to be able to write
as we'll with the left hand as with the right,
but detests pens and ink so much that he uses
indelible lead pencils whenever possible.

Boston, Aug. 2.-The board of alder
men yesterday passed an order request
ing the board of estimate and appor-
tionment to appropriate a sum sufi-
cient for extending the hospitality Of
the city of Boston to Admiral Dewey.
Alderman Michael Brick, Democrat,
forcibly opposed the measure. He said,
in explaining his position:
81 do not think that we should
throw ourselves into state of adula-
ton of a hero because he has won a
battle. 1t hardly strikes me that the
admiral is to be put in the same cate
cory with Grant, Sherman, and other
great military heroes. I do not, how
ever, wish to discredit him in the least,

TO SELECT A PLAN.
Committee of the School Board will Meet
This Evening.

This evening
The committee on grounds and
buildings of the Board of Education
will meet this evening for the purpose
of selecting a plan to be- considered by
the Board on next Tuesday evening.
This meeting will settle the subject of
the construction of a new building on
the North side. Members Of the COM
mittee report that some half dozen
plans have been selected and all of
them are excellent ones. The plans
for the building all embody plan for
four room building. The original
idea of building a four room building
with the intention OF enlargement has
been abandoned and the plans as pre-
sented provide for finished building.
Several of the members of the com
mittee were seen today and they stated
that they thought that it would be
possible for them to have the building
com leted before the end of the year.
One of them stated that the finaCces OF
the Board had been considerably mixed
by an error of the former City Treas
urer and for this reason it might be
necessary for the Board to delay in
order to flow the City Council to take
some action on the matter of paying the
money back to the Board. AS soon as
this money is again in the treasury the
work of building will be started at once
and pushed to completion as rapidly as
possible. The school is greatly needed
and it is to be hoped that the commit
tee will not be delayed in their labors
by any financial troubles.
