Of the most influential members of
that body who depend upon their salar-
les for support. To two-thirds of the
Senators the annual salary of $4,000 is

it allows minimum of free stationary,

It Is almost worth ones while to visit
the Philippines for the purpose of seeing
the immense churches which Spain erected
during the past two hundred years.
These churches are standing the effects
of the climatic influences well, and seem
to be in fairly good condition even now,
though they have been subjected to the
wear of long service and many wars. They
are in many cases constructed with stone
walls four and five feet thick, with all
other parts to correspond.
1t matters very little how small the
city, town or barrio may be. the church
building is always of very large dimen-
sions, well built and as strong as q fort
In fact, it would seem rs if the original
builders of the churches intended that the
churches should answer the purposes of
forts in case of attack by warning tribes
on the popuIace or the fathers.
The windows of the churches are all

returning from the gOldfelds, stopped
here for the night. While they slept they
were murdered for their gold by band
of Mexican robbers who had followed
them long distance for that purpose.
Somehow, after that, the story got out
that the place was haunted and travellers
especially Mexicans-gave it wide

stories, but / want to tell you, my boy,
that there is something about this place

He paused for n moment to refill his
pipe, and then continued:

ago. l was returning from the goldhelds,

me a snug fortune in golddust and mug

travelling as l did with so much gold in

mind to return with my own team and
wagon. I was always in company with
a train, of course, for no one, however
reckless, would have dared travel through
that country alone, beset as the Old Trail
was with bands of robbers and predatory
savages.
"We had made good time, and was
beginning to plan as to what would do
with my fortune when l got back to my
old home. My reflections were very pleas

cipation is the most pleasant in the gold
digger's life.
"On reaching this place, our train

up to the door of this cabin, and after
supper l sat down on the threshold smok-
ing my pipe. There were. a number OF
Mexicans encamped here, bound for the

The churches are necessarily used a.
