BEER COMES HIGH IN MANILA.

Sells at 20 Cents a Glass and Can Hardly
be Made Fast Enough.
A Wilmington soldier writing from
Manila to friend in this city says
among other things The San Miguel
Brewery is developing an immense
business, and finds many customers
among the soldiers. They cannot make
beer fast enough to supply the demand,
SO another firm from San Francisco is
going to operate plant in few
months. Beer sells at 90 cents glass,
Mexican money. and WHISKY at 40
oents, 10 one can in agine what profit
there is in the business. Manila is
changing very raridly these days. An
ice plant costing something like Sd00,
00t, is one of the manynew concerns
about to be operated.
There is a new disease which has

suddenly. They have an appetite like
hoI Sc. They eat their rice and fish
three times day, and when they eat
it it is like throwing 30 much in a

CONFERENCE ENTERTAINMENT.

Rev, S. P. chipmanii in the Peninsula Methodist.
Having asked through your columns
for opinions as to the best method of
entertaining the Annual Conference,
submit plan the essential parts Of
which have been IN my mind Tor
several years.
Let tiie presiding elders spportion Il,
tie several charges of the conference
an amount sufficient to afford aflhd
of s5 each for every member of the cen
ference, including supernamerary end
supprannuated preachers, supplies and
all Official visitors who come by order
of the church, each pastor and supply
to take this collection in connection
with his other collections.
Then let the presiding elders select
the place Of holding the next session
with view to the comfort and con-
venience OF the conference as fe-
CARDS room and committee accom-
modations, and the COINCIDENCE OF the
brethren as regards travel and-expense
of getting to the seat Of conference.
Let care be exercised that entertain
ment is provided whore we may not be
crowded into closer quarters than two
occupying room.
Let a judicious committee be selected
from the church where we may be
entertained, with the pastor az chair
man and one member as treasurer, to
whom all moneys collected for this
purpose shall be paid, and by whom
they shall be disbursed according to
the action and approval Of the COM
mittee.
am aware that this plan is open to
| some oitici7m, but / am fully con.
WINGED thatlit 10 to something like this
| that we must come and that before
many years. 1t is heavy tax on any
town or community to care for such a
body as our conference for one week,
besides there are many places where
the church accommodations are no
| longer sufficient to meet all the de-
mands. IL may be this that Brother
DeVenish had in mind when he said
Wilmington. But we are not of that
mind. There are other places, such as
Cambridge, Dover. Salisbury, 60, that
can furnish US ample accommodations
in every particular.
As the entertainment of the laymen
God bless them.-.we are of the
opinion that they should Except the
Lay Electoral Conference provide
their own entertainment. The larger
number OF them are there In the
interest of securing a new or retaining
an old pastor, and, as our Discipline
makes no provision for such commit
tees, we think their devotion to the
cause ought to be sufficient to persuade
them to provide for themselves.
We shall be glad TO hear any criticism,
modification or new plans the brethren
may have to offer.

The BusIness Situation.

Bradstreet's says Saturday The gen.
eral situation is still largely favorable
one, the primary encouraging feature
being the fine outlook fol-. the eountry's
crops. General distribution, retarded
hitherto by the backward spring, has
been stimulated by warm, sunny
weather. Industrial conditions head
the list of disturbing features, but con-
fidence in conservative and good coun
sci is widespread, and the effect upon
general business exerted by the largest
numuer of men idle for several years
past has been apparently minimized.
Reports as to quiet trade in iron and
steel come from the East, where de-.
mand for pig iron is Of hand to mouth
character. No special activity is looked
for, however, In this branch because
large consumers are well supplied.
Good reports come from the Western
hardware trade, the demand In build
ing lines and for barbed wire fencing
being especially active, with prices we'll
held. The feature of the week 10 tex
tiles is peroeptible improvement in
the tone of most cotton goods, which
are in rather better demand at large
Eastern markets. This, of course, does
net apply to the print cloths situation,
which is one of excessive stocks, cur,
tailed production and of goods selling
below oost in many instances. Export
shipments of cotton goods are heavy,
although new business is lighter. Raw
cotton is fraction higher on the week,
but outside interest in still small, and
the fear of a corner 10 July deters
operations in that and other old crop
months. There is more doing 10 new

are more hopeful, although new demand
for goods is still disappointing. b.
pecialy good advices come from whole
ealers and iobbers in silks, and the raw
silk market tends higher on better de-
mand. Failures for the week number

The storm was particularly severe
