The Religious Orders.

THE religious orders are very rich. They
have been acquiring property for nearly
three centuries. It was the custom Of or
ganizations and individuals to acquire
property by settlement and occupation, and
title thus acquired is recognized as valid
even with no paper title whatever. The
religious orders have acquired vast prop
critics in this way. and while IL is supposed
that the proceeds and the income are 10 be
used for religious and charitable purposes.
there is no doubt that much has been used
for their personal comfort and benefit
The statement l have yan that 20 per
cent OF the people Of LuZOn can read and
write is a great mistake. u may be true
Of Manila. but IL is not true Of the rural
districts. and the percentage OF iiliteracy
in the other islands is much greater than
in LuzCn. The appearance mode Of life,
and method % performing work is today
very much like that described IN the Bible
Of the beginning Of the Christian era
The people dress very much as they did
1000 years ago the means OF transpurta-
ton by carts drawn by c7raba0s is about
the same and their methods Of Smelling
and cleaning rice are as primitive as pos
sible and no better than they were 2.ooe
years ago. During the last few years su-
gar mills and eice mills have been erected
I'm some OF the large cities. and this has
especially been the case since the building
OF the Manila and Daguptu Railroad. but
IN the smaller cities and towns rice Is
hvsked by pounding by hand. and is win
moved by throwing it up and thus separat-
ing the chan just as in the earliest times.

NEW YORK. Jan. 3.-The New York
Sun" publishes the following letter from
General Joseph Wheeler:
Santa Rita, Philippine Islands, have
now seen much of the country and the peo-
pie in that part Of Luzon for about fifty
miles north Of Manila. In every town there
is magnificent stone church and a con-
vent OF monastery. The insurgents have
a great antipathy to the priesthood or fri
ars. and they have dismantled many Of the
churches. The value OF the church and
monastery Of a town seems 20 be equal in
many cases to the value of all The other
buildings in the town.
The sugar stOrehOuses are also eXpen-
s'vely constructed buildings. They have
very thick stone walls and either tile or
metal roofs, and cover considerable space
Of ground; some of them have dimensions
Of about 60 or 20 feet oy 100 feet
The church here at Santa Rita is the
only one l have seen outside Of Manila
where services are regularly held.
a Spirit of Communism.
The more l talk 10 the people the more
am convinced that the insurgents are ac-
munism, and in their talks their most Sc
rious objection 10 the church seems TO be
the Tact that the ecclesiastical Organiza-
lions own so much OF the property, and one
Of Aguinaldo's most earnest demands is
that the church property be confscated.
There is a general impression that the
insurgent army is made up very largely OF
people without property, and that people
who have property desire the Americans 20
control so that they can have protection
and feel thai their property is secured &c
them, but I find that there is also fear
or apprehension among some OF the
wealthy that If the Americans control and
give universal suffrage. the power OF the
wealthy people would be taken away and
their hold on property very much impaired.
think that il the wealthy people could be
assured that they would be protected in
their property rights by the United States
il would have a very good effect.
The friars and priests are charged with
all sorts OF expressions and misdemeanOrs.
but IL must be remembered that friars and
priests are very numerous, and IN so large
@ body there will be found every possible

The remains OF the brakeman whose
death was announced in this paper yes
terday are now at the rooms of Bcecher
& Bennett. The identity of the dead
man was in doubt for some time, as his
badly was badly mangled. Some of his
fellow workmen insisted that the body
was that of Frank Mahoney, and others
were as positive that it was that OF Ed
ward Maloney. Both these men were on
duty as brakemen at the same time on
the Northampton train.
1t is now definitely known that the
unfortunate man was Frank Mahoney,
who boarded at 1874 Columbus avenue
The force of his fall from the moving
train, or the contact of his clothing with
the car Wheels caused the explosion of
a torpedo which he carried in his pock-
ct. DR.. White says it is not unlikely
that the force of this explosion was
cause of the manglng of the body,
Brakeman Ives received fatal injuries
only few days since at the spot where
this accident occurred.
Mr. Mahoney was unmarried. His
mother resides in Springfield, Mass.

PROBATE COURT MATTERS,

In the probate court yesterday Cliff
ford Gilbert and George V. Smith were
appointed commissioners on the insol-
vent estate of William STEERS, baker on
Congress avenue. The appraisers on
the estate have found but fifty dollars
worth of property, and Attorney Good
hart, representing creditors, served no.
tice that he would bring the assigning
debtor into court, for an examination.
He says that he believes there are more
assets in the estate than the debtor has
disclosed.
Attorney Goodhart filed an assigns
ment for the Novelty Wood Works in
the probate court yesterday. The COM
pany has a factory on Elm street, and
is composed of Henry and Arthur Pur-
SELL They have been in business three
or four years. The liabilities of the
company are about $4,000 and it is be-
lieved the ASSETS will be sufficient to
cover the indebtedness A meeting of
the creditors will be called and an offer
of settlement will be made. The firm
largest product was mantels, and it is
said it's embarrassment is in some
measure due to the organization of the
mantel trust. Willis G. Braley has
been nominated for trustee of the COM

BOOK OF EVENTS OUT.
May Festival Arrangements Nearing
COmpletiOu. \

May Festival Arrangements Nearing
Completion.
The May festival advance Book Of
Events" Is almost ready to come out
and contains many things to interest
the hundreds who are waiting for news
of the important event. 1t is an unusu-
ally large book. having twenty-four
pages, with pretty front cover design
ed by Harry E. woodstock and an in
novation in the form of an index on the
first page The book is now in the
printers hands and it will soon be is
sued.
The following page on the sale of
tickets is one of the most important,
and as 1t comes from the management
is official and of value to all festival
goers:
The number of course tickets, admit7
ting 10 all the twelve events for $l.50 is
limited. While the above is the formal
announcement in regard to tickets, each
year many of the patrons of the festi-
val do not entirely comprehend its full
meaning.
1t signifies first that only two thou
sand course tickets are sold, that no
single tickets are sold, and that when
the number os disposed of, as it fire.
quently is before the advent of the fes
tival there are no more to be obtained.
This should be regarded as a caution
to buy early and not leave the purchase
until the last moment, as in many cases
those who We're most anxious to hear
some especial events have been prevent
ed because there were no more tickets
to be had.
It signifies second that as there are
only 1911 actual regular sittings in the
Hyperion there is ticket sold for every
seat, whether good, bad or Indifferent.
Occasionally a person who arrives at
the hall late will criticise the manage
ment for having sold so many tickets
as to obige them to sit in the top gal
lery. 1t Is impossible to avoid this if
the tickets are sold at the present NOM
inal rate, as the income from the num-
Der of tickets which will fill the entire
hall is only barely sufficient to pay the
great expense of the festival and it's
costly performances. A little reflection
will show to any one that if they arrive
so late that the seats on the first two
floors are occupied they will be compell-
ed to take seat in the remaining gal
lery, if at all, as those who come earli-
est are entitled to their choice of sit
tings. In this connection we will refer
the reader to the section on reserved
seats.
1t signifies, thirdly that as there are
always from one hundred to two hun
dred tickets unused at each perform
ance there is never an occasion when
there is not a seat for every one present
If they will take it as it is.

do all he could to make 1T a success. 1t
