plentiful Wednesday night, the
guards raked in All See Kee. an ex-

For the past six months. or in fact,
since the occupation of Manila. it has
been almost daily demonstrated that
an American club was an absolute ne
cessity. This want has now been fill
ed by the organization of an institu-
ton to be known as the Bohemian
club of Manila.
An excellent building has been Sc
cured for the home of the club on the
corner of Gale Palacio and Victoria,
Walled City. Already there are many
applications for membership pending
before the membership committee,
and the organization, which had it's
inception among small party of
newspaper men, now threatens to as
sumo mammoth proportions.

of similar institutions in the United
States. II. f. Seymour is the presi-
dent and Allison ID. Gibbs, secretary.

skinned little maid who stood before
the bar of justice on charge of ag-
gravated assault. The assault being
made by heron her chino lover, whom
she said trifed with her affections.
Lum Col. the injured victim, was in
court, very sick man. He also had
an inch knife wound in his back, and
all this was the result of staying out
late at friends house, and neglect
in he fair Juana Goti. AS the knife
wound was not severe or dangerous,
and the trouble was that of family
quarrel, Judge Corriston found the
fair damsel guilty and ordered her to
pay fine of $50.
