server, whether his motive be idle cur
iosity, entertainment, or special inves-
tigation. The Escola is for the wealthy
native. and the foreigner. The other
localities arc for the people. Rosario
and Santo Cristo are pre-eminently the
streets of the Chinese merchants. San
Fernando has many Chinese, but it also
presents numerous native proprietors.
The first thing that one notices is
that these stores are but little boxes,
which would hardly make an office fol.
an American. The next thing noticed
is the number Of attendants, and the
third is the manifest duplication Of
stocks and their arrangements. The
native stores on Gale San Fernando
are rather booths for the sale of spec
ialties. They are little stalls perhaps
six feet by ten, presided over by native
women. A broad platform of counter
bars the entire width. Upon these
vendors sit, usually busy with en-
broidery work, when the counter is
not in use for the display of goods to
the customer, who stands on the side
walk or else sits, comfortably and Soc
iably, on the counter with the vendor.

~dTxc..s..ss.s

| March and April has been issued by
the State Federation of Labor:
DULUTH, MIMI, FEB. Is, 1900.
To Affiliated Unions:
Per capita tax for quarter ending
January 81 is now over due.
The proceedings Of the Duluth con-
vention are now being printed and
will be distributed in a few days.
The work of the Federation during
the past six months has been confined
to the organization of new unions. To
say that we have met with good success
is putting it mild indeed. Organizers
have been sent to the smaller towns
of the State, and much good has been
accomplished.
Now that the spring work will soon
open. it is necessary that each and
every union remit its dues as speedily
as possible.
We have but few months prior to the
convention in which the work of or
ganization can be successfully pushed.
The coming season promises to be one
of industrial activity. and labor need
not except to share in, any respectable
advances unless its ranks are better
organized The employing class is
| con, ,pletely organized. There is but
little competition among them, hence,
through their united actions they are
commanding better prices for their
work. The price of almost everything
purchased by them is fixed by trust.
The only competition is in the labor
market. The law of supply and de-
! mand governs no commodity today
except labor. Unless labor .unites and
fixes its own price, it Will find itself
at the end Of the season considerable
loser. Wages of the unorganized work.
er may become a little higher during
the season. on account Of probable
scarcity Of labor, yet in no case will
wages advance in comparison with
labor's necessities.
! Therefore in self protection, there is
but one duty before us as organized
workers, that is to do all in our power,
morally and financially. to aid in the
organization of the unorganized
workers of the state.
Hoping for early responses and
earnest cooperation. | am,

The greater business Of the Philip

business, that which appeals to the
superficial observer, is in state OF
activity probably greater than it has
ever known before. But this retail bus
iEess needs some definition Manila is
said to have population of 100000
within what is to be regarded as the
city, though Manila proper is but the
old walled town in the south bank Of
| the Pasig. The Escolta is the street Of
the better class of trade for the whole
city. 1t extends for three blocks, from
the Plaza del p. Morago to the bridge
across the canal which divides Binondo
| from Sta. Cruz. In point of number,
size and appearance of the stores there
is hardly a city of $4,000 people in
America that would not immeasurably
excel the Manila outfit. The little
American city would show no such
jumble of lines within so short a dis
! tance. What cannot be bought on the
Escolta, excepting provisions, Is
hardly to be found in the city. Har-
ness and hardware, dry goods and dia-
monds, beer, whiskey, and cigars, sta.
tionery, clothing, drugs, books, notions
and wares from India, China anC
Japan, all find representatio among
many other things along this short line

REpA1R1HG THE "BLooDY TOWER"
Modern Addition to LOndOn'a Ancien,
MOnument Removed.


Monument Removed.
That venerable part of the Tower
of London known as the Bloody Tower
is undergoing considerable repairs at
the hands Of the masons. The upper
portion IF it, which faces Traitors
Gate, has been refaced In parts, point
ed and colored to resemble age. The
building is to be restored all around.
Chalk, in large blocks, enters largly
into the composition Of the inner parts
of the walls, and is declared by the
masons to be as hard, If not harder,
than it was. Some parts of the wall
by the Tower are fourteen feet thick.
Th greater part of the outer surface
of the Bloody Tower, like that Of the
Bell Tower and some others, has since
the year 1882 been plastered over at
various times with Roman cement, i'm

The lower portion of the Tower, duilt
of square blocks of ashlar stone has
har a lot Of superf1uous Roman
cement stripped from it, and looks
somewhat incongruous in comparison
with the upper part, which is Of the
irregular order of masonary, but that is
unavoidable, and may in measure yet
be remedied.
Restorations and repairs have often
been carelessly done in much earlier
Iyears. For instance. the doorway that
led from Raleigh's Walk directly to the
room in the Bloody Tower, in which the
infant princess were supposed to have
been murdered, had been bricked up
from the inside to give support to a
lportion of the Tower. This has all
been removed and the Tower strength
ened in a more reverential way. The
old oak door, with its heavy fastenings
which had been covered by the wall,
lies now on it's side on the wall. and
when the rottenness at the bottom: is
