ACCORDING to advices from the Phil
ippinc islands q sad state of affairs
exists in that fsr-sway land, the inbabi-
tsnts Of which this country are endeav-
oring to assimilste. The social scale OF
morality under American military rule
is far below what would be tolerated
10 any town. in this county, however
remote. 1t is the oommonest of sights
to see the negro soldiers OF the Ninth
Cavalry walking the streets with
STRAIGHTFORWARD native girls. Many in
stances of gross immortality are re-
corded, with little or no heed of what
the local public may say or think.
Nine assertions which have occurred
from the ranks of the Ninth Cavalry
are attributed to the influence of the
native women. Some of the deserters
are now serving with the revolution.

at Nueva Caceres reveal a hopeless
sentiment concerning this question.

FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE IA. 1901.
MANY of the Philadelphia merchants

MANY of the Philadelphia merchants
who got up the Southern Industrial
Convention now in session in that city
were actusted by good motives, but
they cannot even assume virtue
which they DO not possess. True hos
pitality is from the heart and is part
of the nature of some people, more es-
pecially southern people, who culti'
yate it as virtue and a grace, while
Others hardly appreciate the full mean
ing Of the word and look upon those who
do "a seutimeptslists-ou of date 10
this Commercial" age. The merchants
who went to the trouble and expense
OF getting up the convention and invit'
ing the southern people to attend 1t,
apparently thought that their work
was then done, but sdvices from the
Quaker City show that they have fallen
into error as will be seen from the fol-
lowing dispatch from Philadelphia to
New York paper:
1.-THE delegates to the Southern To-
dustrial Convention complain that the
business men of the city have neglected
the convention. The delegates, some
OF whom came here from places as far
distant as Austin, Tex, with the un-
derstsnding that the business men OF
the city would attend their sessions,
take an interest in what they had to
say, escort them through their estab-
lishmeDts, and do other graceful things
that invite confidence, cement friend.
ship and build up trade, are displessed
at the failure OF the merchants and
manufacturers 10 keep the promises
that were made. Tuesday there was a
fair audience, but on Wednesday morn.
ing there we're not more than a
dozen Philadelphia business men at the
opening of the session and they were
for the most part men who were re-
quired to be there owing to their SER
vices on committees. The general
opinion is that the business OF the city
with the South will suffer materially
through the lack OF courtesy that has
been shown the men who came here
with the expectation that the city
would extend to them open arms. Not
even the reception that was rendered
the delegates by the mayor did the
business men consider worth while to
attend"
A little courtesy and attention goes a
long way and is more appreciated by
strangers in a strange city than at any
other time.

West BADEN Hotel Burned.

French Lick Springs. Ind. June IA
The Mineral Springs Hotel st West
Baden, near here, was destroyed by
fire this morning. The infammable
building burned like fire trap. The
guests of the hotel streamed into this
place 10 their night clothes, sll having
walked here in their bare feet. No
lives were lost. The fire spread like q
powder flash and everything was de-
stroyed. The guests could not save
even their clothing. The scene was one
OF the widest excitement. Women
rushed to the balconies which sur
rounded the hotel on all sides and
jumped to the ground. Those who oc-
cupied inside rooms rushed down the
stairs. Many were trsmpled under foot
10 the rush or were choked by the
smoke and tainted with excitement.
The hotel was q favorite resort for the
people of Cincinnati, Chicago. st. Louis,
Louisville aud other cities. The build
ing was erected at q cost of 81 600, 900.
