The Vfsayan Literature.
Next to the Tagalos come the Visayans,
Of whom there are perhaps two millions.
They also have a language and literature,
but the literature Is largely made UP of
tracts published by the missionaries of the
Catholic Church.
The Visayan is not unlike the Tagalo as
may be seen from the following extract,

The MOrOs and the Koran
AS to the Moros, the only education
which they have had up to now is learning
the Koran. The teaching is all done by
the Mohammedan priests. The books are
in the Arabic characters, and the little ones
squat down on the floor the ground and
in sing-song tone cry out the prayers
until they have learned them. They usual
ly keep book before them as they study,
but as to learning to write essays in Arabic
or as to any practical education, as we
know it, such things are unknown in our
Mohammedan land.
In fact, in nearly all the islands educa-
ton will have to begin at the ground, and
in many of them new books will need to be
written for the purpose of teaching. The
superintendent of education here in Manila
has already ordered large number of
books, and before this letter is published
some 20.rG9 will already have arrived and
be in the hands of the people.
A great many of the books are in Span
ish, but 1t seems to me that this language
should be changed for English just as soon
as possible. The quicker we can open the
doors of our literature, religion and ideas
of political morality to these people the
quicker we can make them respectable
American citizens. l doubt if much can be
done until they have learned the English
language, and it seems to me that the
chief hope is in the children and not in me
grown-ups who have been bred and raised
in Spanish corruption.

Christmas.

This is time for forgiving and
for good will to man., for forget

done others, for resolutions to do
better and be better, for leaving
off bad and useless habits and for
forming good and helpful ones, for
making happy our loved ones and
the dear ''old folks at home" and
if our business cares have claimed
our time and we have neglected
our correspondence we should
write them a good long letter and
send little token of our affec-
tion in the form of some present.
In the whirlpool of action for
station or for money or power,
while we are in our prime and life
is full of youthful vigor and the
blood bounds through our veins,
and the fire of hope spurs US on
in the fierce conflict of activity.
and while we are eagerly plucking
the fruits of our efforts we stop
too seldom to give even a passing
thought to those who love and
care for us with all mothers's or
a fathers love and in whose mind
our remem brance fon6ly dwells.
The hair is whitening on their
brows and lines of age and care

brighten the coming year and
sweeten their lives far more than
we think. And as the holidays
draw near and our grief for the
faults and sorrows of the dying
year is borne away forever, in the
bright JOY and gladness of the
Christmas tide and the birth of a
New Year let us each strive earn

THE JOLLY SOUP"

The clambake and chowders are forms
of festivity which we of the East have
most of us at some time enjoyed, and
4hich are known by reputation, at
least. to our envious countrymen of the
West But the kind of picnic known
simply as "soup" is unfamiliar to East
and West alike; it is Southern, and as
vet is confined to a small portion OF
West Virginia, although it now bide fair
to spread.
The soup which f1ourishes especially
in the neighborhood of Shepherdstown
is certainly a very polly, if rather too
primitive, form of entertainment.
Each person invited brings a dressed
chicken, the host providing the gege-
tables. Poultry and vegetables are plac-
ed in large kettles holding from ten to
twenty gallons, and the combination is
cooked over open fires for several hours
or until it is reduced almost to jelly
Pepper and other seasonings are added.
The young girls and goung men stir
the soup with handled iron spoons,

INJURED BOY DEAD.

Struck by a Train at East Street Bridge
Floro Lambrono, twelve years of age
was struck by an Air Line accommoda-
ton train near the East street bridge
at 2:30 o'clock Saturday afternoon, and
died at the hospital shortly after
o'clock last evening.
The boy, with number of his COM
panions was playing ball in the lot near
the old railroad shops at the foot of
Myrtle street adjoining the railroad
tracks. Lambrono ran out to bring the
ball back from the tracks and the Air
Line train came along and struck him.
When he was picked up the boy was
unconscious and he had a cash on the
right side of the head causing a de-
pressed fracture Of tho skull.
Lambronos mother heard the news of
the accident before the police arrived
to take her son to the hospital She
was almost completely paralyzed with
fear and while running to the scene Of
the accident she fell to the sidewalk.
She found that she was unable to walk
and she erawled on her hands and knees
to where her son was lying. She was
carried back to her home.

keeping up march or walk around the
kettles as they do so. When a girls
spoon clicks against the spoon of a
young man he is at liberty to catch and
kiss her. OF course there are many
lively skirmishes and great deal Of fun
in the game
When the soup is done it is ladled out
into jlates and eaten. 1t Is said to be
delicious. The custom owes its origin
to company Of StonewaM Jackson's
men who were recruited in that part of
the State. These "ex- Confeds" keep
up their organization. They have re-
union once "a year, at which they cele-
brate with grand soup
1t Is said that soup, properly got up
should be made Of stolen chickens, but
the veterans had to give up foraging
after the war and make a compromise
by going about in squads and robbing
each others roosts by mutual under
standing.
The last touch is the best Of all--in
fact, 1t 10 almost too good to be true. 1t
leaves teh reader with lurking doubt
whether after all the savory and seduc-
tive soup originated with Stonewall
Jackson's soldiers or in the brain Of the
ingenious Frank r. tockton!-Youth's
Companion.

RIM IN MANILA,

| OF all the problems that confront us
in the reconstruction of the Philippines
the gravest and wickedest is one of our
own importation. The Manila saloons,
taken collectively, are the worst possible
kind of blot on Uncle Sans fair
name. The citys air reeks with the
odors Of the worst of English liquors.
And all this has come to pass since the
18th Of August, 1898! With the van
guard Of American troops entering Ma
Mia rode the newly appointed agent of
a concern that had ship-loads of drink
OH the way. He secured offices, ware
houses, options on desirable locations for
saloons, and opened business Some of
the proudest and best youth of our land
marched into Manila to proclaim the
dawn of a new era of honesty, liberty,
and light. 1t was day of rare import
to the down trodden East. But the
saloon-k keeper sneaked in under the
folds Of Old Glory.
Almost by the time the American SOL
der had stacked arms in the city, a
score of American saloons were open.
Swiftly other scores were added to them.
The number grew and grew. AT the
outbreak of the instruction there were
hundreds of American saloons in Ma
Mia There not being at that time
enough American civilians, so disposed,
to take up all the licenses, natives We're

LIQUOR RAID YESTERDAY.
Grand Avenue Police Found Two Mer

Grand Avenue Police Found Two Mer
in Conrad Gasser's Place.
Yesterday morning about $50 Patrol
man John Kelly and Patrolman Patrick
Roach of the Grand avenue station
made successful liquor raid on Con-
rad Gasser, 26 Chestnut street. The po-
lice have had an eye on the place for
a long time, but have been unsuccess-
full in their efforts to detect the selling
of liquor there until yesterday. A
search warrant was issued recently and
yesterday Patrolmen Kelley and Roach
were put on the lookout. They saw
two men, one colored and the other
a Whote man, enter by the side door,
and followed them until they went in
side. The patrolmen showed their sta
tegy by waiting until the men had time
enough to fill up their glasses and then
they broke in the rear door. The men
were caught in the act of drinking, and
as soon as the patrolman made their
appearance the white man dashed
through a rear door and made his es-
cape. The colored man remained where
he was, and the policemen told him to
finish his drink. but his nerve failed
him and he threw the glass with it's
contents on the floor. William ].
Barnes, who was acting as bartender,
was arrested and he admitted that
liquor had been sold there for a long
time On a search the police found four
dozen bottles of beer, two dbZen empty
and two or three bottles Of whisky, all
of which were confiscated.

Exercised Over a Suicide by Broker

Thomas Hennessy, manager of the st
Louis Radiator Company, who killed
himself by leaping from third STORY
window at Marcy Hospital was, ac-
! cording to Dr. Lewis Tallman, who
had attended him, impelled to his death
by the strange influence broken glass
had over him. DR.. Tallman said:
'For years the breaking Of glass, so
Hennessy said, had always been attend
ed by some calamity. He was pros
porous contractor in st Louis, and the
inventor of steam heating apparatus.
Once he was on his way to Milwaukee
to close a 100000 contract. The car
window at his elbow was accidentally
broken, and in terror from previous ex-
perience he left the train and tried to
do his business by telegraph. He failed
and lost the 100000 contract At an
other time a glass bottle broke in his
pocket, and to that he blamed the fall
ure of another contract.
Saturday night, in a Chicago res
tau~ant. he lifted a goblet of water to
drink it, and the glass split from top
to bottom. The shock Of the falling
glass was too much for him He be-
came violently sick and 1 was sum-

him. There he told me Of his peculiar
mental craze that was upon him. He
told me not to tell it unless something
happened to him, but some terrible
thing he knew was impending. He said
he had been drinking heavily lately,
but had taken nothing since Wednes-
day. This left him weak He did not
want to go to the hospital, but the next
day, when I called, he was gone and
the next I heard was the report from
the hospital that in a frenzy he had
driven his nurse from the room and had
sprung from third-story window. His
mind had evidently been unhinged by
the recurring association of broken
