latter mature elaboration I resolutely
proclaim to the world that I cannot refuse
to heed the voice of people longing Tor
peace, nor the lamentations of thousands
of families yearning to see their dear ones
enjoying the liberty and the promised
generosity of the great American nation:
by acknowledging and accepting the
sovereignty of the United States through
out the Philippine archipelago. as now do
and without any reservation whatsoever.
I believe that ! am serving thee. my be-
loved country. May happiness be thine.
To signalize this important step in
the pacification of the country, Gen.
Macarthur orders the release, on
swearing allegiance to the United
States of 1000 insurgent prisoners.
Will Have Good Eject.
Washington. April 2o.-1t is believed
by the administration that the mani
festo of Aguinaldo will have a decid-
eddy good effect, both in the Philip
pines and in this country. 1t will take
some time for its determinations among
the Filipinos, but it is expected to be
of considerable service and to make
more rapid the improvement in the
situation which set in some time ago
and has become quite marked of late.
End Of Struggle I'M Sight.
There are but few officers of any
prominence connected with the Philip
pine insurrection who have not al
ready surrendered and thus taken the
oath of allegiance. Gen. Alejandrino
and Gen. Trias are among the most
prominent who continue in opposition,
and the war department officials hope
that Aguinaldo's address will induce
them to surrender within short
time. Should they do so and take the
oath of allegiance there is little doubt
that their followers will do likewise.
thus putting an end to all organized
opposition to American authority in
the Philippine archipelago.
Peace Proclamatlon Soon.
With the Filipinos themselves de-
claring the insurrection at an end, this
government will then proclaim peace
and make immediate preparations for
the institution of a central civil gov
eminent under the direction OF the
Philippine commission. This is ex-
pected to take place not later than the
LIST of July. By that time the military
government will probably cease to ex-
list and will be replaced by the civil
government under civil governor.
Troops in Philippines.
Washington. April 2o.-Adjt. Gen.
Corbin authorizes the statement that
no material changes will be made in
the army in the Philippines until after
the war department has heard from
Gen. Chaffee on the subject. In accord
ance with orders previously issued
Gen. Chaffee will relieve Gen. MacAr-
thur of the command of the military
forces in the Philippines on June 30.
and present expectation is that q gen.
eral civil government will be estab-
lished in the archipelago about that
time. Gen. Corbin says that recent de-
velopments in the Philippines have
caused no change in the general plans
of the department. for the dispatch of
regular troops from the United States
to replace the volunteers ordered
home for discharge before July next.

EVERYDAY PATRONS.
Customers in the dining halls range
from working people OF all descriptions
up through employees of shops and
offices, students, artists, struggling
professional men, every one, in fact
who appreciates what it means to get
good food cheaply with nothing in the
manner of getting it that would sug-
gest discomforting dependence. The
kitchen has in this way not only been
of inestimable benefit to countless num-
bers but II has succeeded in crowdlng
out the poorer class of cheap restau-
rants where wretched food was Offer

which was in reality far too high for
the quality of the stuff. There are no

is an unpretending little city, but it
boasts the best arranged and best run
model cheap restaurant in the world.
1t was founded in 1857 by stock com
pany of rublc-spirited men and wo-
men, who desired to provide a good
dinner at q price which would come
within the reach of almost all. An I!
for those who could not pay even this
low price the stockholders have an
open heart, and many meal is given
for nothing in deserving cases. Vir-
tue has been it's own reward, for after
five or six years of experience the
kitchen was not only able to support
itself, but pays now 9 per cent. divi-
dends on the original capital, and has
a large and ever increasing reserve
, fund, used for charity, and for the
maintenance of n pension fund for its
employees.
The long, low, two-story house Of
dull gray stone, on the corner of the
Tory Gade, is well worth a visit dur
ing the dinner hours, which are from
II. 30 until & o'clock every day A large
billboard just outside the entrance to
the dining halls shows the menus at
different prices for the day. There are
two grades of dinner one at 80 ore, or
l3 cents, for those who eat in the
hall, or at 45 ore, IL cents, for those
who carry it away TO consume at
home, while the cheaper menu costs

across the court is the chopping ma

THE EARLY TRIALS.
During the first year of the Steam
Kitchens existence Its manager had
not learned the routine necessary for
so large an establishment and 1t could
not even support itself. Then was
started a side issue of the business
which is now in a most prosperous
condition and furnishes all the sur
plus for reserve fund and dividends,
while the cooking department. merely
pays its own expenses, as no cOnjunc'
ture of high or low prices for raw
material can persuade the sharehold-
ers to charge more for the dinner, or
| to give an inferior quality or quantity
| Of the food provided. The side bran
ches make and sell all kinds of force
meat sausage, etc, as well as pre-
| serve fruits ana fruit juices, and this
part of the business soon outgrew the
parent establishment, ana now has ITS
branch stores in various parts of the
| city.
The managers, besides the many
meals day given gratis, often furnish
| refreshments for baZaars in aid OF any
worthy charity. and occasionally gilt

 "The thickened cuticle over each new papilla, instead of being rasped away, as in the case of the barefooted savage, Is at first heaped up upon the surface like one of the horny cones covering a dogs paw. But, being un- able to get any further in an outward direction, on account of the unyield- ing boot, 1t presses inward upon the tender and vascular tissues of the papilla itself, and at length penetrates them in the form of an inverted cone of corneous matter.
