The Filipino Character is Not
Trustworthy.

From our point of view, all OF them
seem immature, by which is meant that
their characters are comparable with
those OF Anglo-Saxon boys. rather than
with those Of men of our race. Their
principles do not seem fully formed. A
native servant will be faithful and hon
est for years, and then steal paltry
sum, perhaps to buy a trinket for his
sweetheart. They require frequent ad-
monitions to duty. They have much
amour propre, are even touchy, and
think more Of slight than an Irqury.
They are presuming, and generally on
the watch to see how far they can 60.
They are both suspicious and credulous.
They are generous and hospitable, but
give the Impression of neither expecting
gratitude or favors, nor feeling it. This,
however, is somewhat uncertain point,
for they are extremely reluctant to be
tray their feelings in the presence of
white men. They are not frank and
their word is not to be depended upon.

One Of the prettiest things | tsve
given TO the president and foreign lega-
tions on the national holiday On the
morning Of the day | wrapped my
self up in a black manto, which is
the customary church dress, and, hur-
rying around the crowds, which packed
the streets, and in through the back
entrance, planted myself close to one OF
the pillars near the seat reserved for
the president On each side of the
front entrance were lines OF guards in
white plumed hats aud uniforms brist-
ling with gold looking very majestic
and statuesque. Next to them were
rows Of monks with their brown robes
and sandaled feet and outside of the
central reserved part was the rabblr

drawback to my complete enjoyment
was my inability to unders' and the
comments If the crowd.
AS beautiful music came II Jating
down from somewhere near the roof
among the pillars. a massive door op-
posite swung slowly open letting long
beams Of light lay over the heads Of
the priests, outlining their protiIes and
making their figures stand out from
the dark background Of women in man
tas, just then a tall, sthletic. clean,
English looking individual came in at
the door and through the crowd and
the light, looking like Davis Gibson
hero in Soldiers OF Fortune" The
contrast was so great that | could not
restrain my pride in the ADglo-Saxon
race, thinking that. while picturesque
ness is desirable, there are other quail
ties more necessary pertaining to char

Imagination.
Secretary Hay, who saw the eclipse
from the deck Of the Dolphin in
Hampton Roads says that it was the
most beautiful as well as the most
awe-inspiring sight he had ever wit
messed. As the moon crept slowly
over the face of the sun there was a
gradual darkening Of the word, ac-
companied by perceptible change in
the atmosphere, which became SO
chilly that the members Of the party
were obliged to put on their OvrrcGatS.
The foregoing is the account OF
Secretary Hays impressions of the
eclipse, delivered to the Washington
correspondent of The Record. Mr..
Curtis. Cabinet officers, secretary of
state, first assistant secretaries, and
all kinds of assistant hOnOrS and dig
mites. one moment shining by their
own light and gildei by the Bait

darkness when the moon showed in
between the sun ard them. And Sec
retary Hays says that just as soon as
the sun was covered up the air became
chilly and the members of the party
put on their OyercOats. The heated
air before the light went out, all the
warmed wOcd and iron things on the
boat, the warm water of the Roads,
seem to have been Intellectual in keep.

satisfaction of reigning i'm the day
title, and Of screening the party from

light went out for few moments
leaving a radiantly warm earth on
this side, imagination turned the peO-

First Impressions of Chill.

The first thing which almost over
powers "gringo" in this capital OF the
Andes is the chorus OF sounds differing
so widely from any ever heard in the
home country. The Chilian street
vender's picturesqueness captivates all
who have an inclination for perform
ing on the lead-pencil." Down the
street he goes with shallow basket on
his head filled " tn so heavy a weight
that he balances and sways like
tight rope walker. His note is sort
of intoned wall and this chIomatic wall
is characteristic Of Chilian sOunds-a
charting as OF priests in the cathedral.
The cry itself is loud but it is what
'comes after" that is peculiar; letting
60 Of the voice and forgetting about it
and allowing it to drip unevenly from
the voice box in the throat down to
some indefinite place in the heels with
weird gurgles and shrieks and rumb-
linss emanating from all parts Of the
journey aud fairly splitting the thin
Chilian air.
The program of Chilian life is to eat
and then to eat again. have not yet
been able to discover how South Am
ericans find time for the revolutions
and the wars with Peru. do not yet
know the exact number Of meals per
day that a fairly wealthy Chilian family
eats. the climax Of the whole days
culinary preparations seems to be
about ten o'clock in the evening, just
before the last tea, when the venders
of dulces, tortillas and other things
with undecipherable names are rang
ing the streets in full cry.
The next number OF the program to
which listened nightly until learned
to sleep through it, was given by the
cats which prowled about on the
neighboring tiled roofs and incidentally
pranced across the resou nding tin over
my head. There is one creature more
prevalent in Santiago than the slant
eyed, bigoted Ctilano cats and it is
variety of short legged, yellow cur
which abounds, especially on the poorer
streets. and would wag it's tail if it had
one; but it has always been cut off.
When the cat chorus dies away the
family of an Italian tailor across the
street entertains US with family row.
No wonder the Italians are a race Of
singers il the lungs of this particular
branch are fair sample. The dia-
logues are in Spanish and Italian and
occasionally a French neighbor tries
bis tongue One night l counted
twelve policemen, six mounted and six
on foot, in front OF the house heIplessly
listening to the narrowing tale of her
husbands cruelties that the woman
related from between the bars Of her
window in sobbing whispers audible
two blocks away. l caught two words
that knew: watermelon and "small
in themselves. but
hardly satisf actory in explaining so
exciting a situation.
Scattered carelessly over the VIII ole
night is the incessant wall of the po-
Iicemen's whistles as they call to each
other. The first night l heard them
from a ship in harbor at Gus yaquel
and thought it was the call of some
strange, weird variety OF tropical bird.

picturesque. But most Of the tioest
buildings are built with regular mud
blocks. Neither the beautiful fresco-
ings and veneeriDgs Of imitation or OF

rich carved wood or iron tilagree work
are sufficient to restore confidence in
South American architecture.
Two OF the most beautiful streets in
this city are the Alameda-means way

day. their Eighteenth Of September"
which corresponds to our Fourth OF
July. The Dieziocho is famous for it's
many beautiful residences, one OF which
is the Cousino Palace, which. during
her life time. was the city residence Of
Madame Cousino, who died recently in
Paris and who was said to have been
the richest woman in the world. Her
park at Sofa. in the South, is supposed
to be the finest private estate in South
America, and travellers go out OF their
way to see it. l went out OF my way
this summer for the same purpose,
but failed TO see more than the tops Of
the trees, as the day We were in Sofa
several of the Cousino sons were there
quarreling over the ownership Of the
estate and the public was not granted
