MY SUMMER AMID ROYAL PAL.
ACES.

BY Mrs. t. De Witt calmage. =
Copyright, 1900. The Christian Heraldl
No sooner had stepped ashore frOm
the oceanic than the question was ask
ed ME for publication: you have had
abundant opportunity this summer OF
studying royalty In Europe. What do
you think OF It in comparison with
republican simplicity" AS this ques-
ton has come to me the third time.
l proceed to answer Il, though some
what reluctantly.
Yes. we have had an opportunity OF
seeing the inside Of palaces. and COM
muning with princely and imperial
households. such as has seldom been
granted to persons unofficial. The pub
heation OF my husbands sermons In all
the languages OF Europe for many
years, seemed to open every door we
might wish 20 enter. And the first re-
mark desire to make. In reply to the
question as to the contrast between
republican simplicity and royal man
occasions. but no persons, however
all. The higher In station the more
unpretending the persOnage. II is the
people who are afraid OF losing their
place, or who are struggling FOR some
thing higher. that take on airs, The
higher the prince or princess, the en-
peror or empress, the more unconven-
tional. Republican simplicity is no
more marked than royal simplicity.
While the "show-rooms" OF palaces
may be bejeweled. and richly uphol-
stored. and embarked with lusirous
statuary. and aglow with masterpieces
OF painting. the living rooms" OF Eu-
ropean potentates are for the most part
as plain as the rooms OF people Ordi-
narily prosperous. While the tourist.

and the pillows OF the couch ard the
canopy are ablaze with splendor. for
the most part the sleeping apartments
are as unpreteDding as a hundred
homes in he same city OF Berlin. or
Vienna, or ST. Petersburg, or cOpen-
hagen. While the banquet OF king
or queen might easily swamp what
we would call mery thousands OF dol
lars. and the Eleam OF the chalice. and
the flash Of ;he plate are something to
be remembered for a lifetime. the or

The pomp OF royalty Is seen on great
occasions, but no persona, however
highly born. can always walk on stilts,
The vast expense OF prlnccly and lm-
perlal households Is In the support ot
official attendants, who must be ready

OF horses must be ready though some
OF them may never be harnessed Tor
service except at royal marriage, u
coronation. or an imperial obseauy and
those occasions are very far apart.
The conversation OF these people Is
surprisingly familiar. The empress OF
Russia, without any hesitation, ex-
pressed TO me the preference she had
for the Chinese above the Japanese,
she said; The Japanese may pretend
to be friendly. but they stab YOU In
the dark" She cannot forget that

woman who had accumulated 5000 tea
pots in Japan. This remarkable col

MURDEROUS FILIPINOS.
Many Have Been Convicted and SEM
fenced TO BE Hanged.

Washington, January 13.-Copies of
general orders from the philippines re-
ceived here, show that a large number OF
native .Filiplnos have been convicted of
murder and other crimes and sentenced
to be hanged or to long terms Of inn
prisonmsnt. In one case the accused be-
ionged TO an organized band which UNI
der the name OF ''Guardia de honor" had
for its declared object the murder Of
peaceful and unoffending victims II
found necessary to crafty either desire
for revenge or feeling Of envy against
the rich.
'"rhese inhuman Methods" says Gen.
Mac rthur, remove all the participants
whether chief or willing followers of the
bands. from the pale of the law and place
them among that class of cowardiy and
secret assassins which all civilized men
the world over hold to be enemies of
mankind"
A native named Vincente Prado estab-
lished camp in a strong position near
Rosario in union province. There he en-
trenched his camp and erected buildings
for band of armed outlaws which he
gathered about him. Recently TWO Amer
loans were taken into the camp as prison
ers and for no assigned reason other than
that "thty were enemies" they were
or dered to Instant death. Shortly after
wards two Iggorrotes, man and wom-
an w ere taken before Prado, and charged
with being American spies. without
any attempt at proof or form of trial, they
were ordered to lie Immediately executed.
In both instances Prado personally wit
messed the bloody execution OF his orders
by members OF his outlaw band, who
used their bolos ON the dsfenseless prison
ers. On another occasion Prado ordered
his band to attack ana burn the pueblo
of San Jacinto ana to arrest, and "if re-
sisted, kill" the prssidente of Rosario.
In pursuance of these orders, the presi-
dente or Rosario and his son were killed
and l0s houses destroyed by fire. Prado
ana his chief outlaw assistants were
sentenced to be- hanged. Another native
sentenced 60 he hanged was Pedro
Lanhica. This man was one OF band
of natives who representing themselves
to be policemen, entered at night time
several houses and by threats and the use
OF firearms, forced the natives to come
out ami surrender. They then tied the
arms OF the men behind their backs and
beat them with boios ana robbed the
houses of money, jsweiry and otner valu
ables.
