EFFECT OF THE ABOLITION OF THE ARMY

SEEN IN MANILA

A lieutenant of the 9th Infantry, stationed at
Santa Mesa, Manila, Philippine Islands. in
writing to friend in this city about the practical
effects following the abolition of the army canteen
says:
You understand how the canteen is run. No
whiskey has ever been sold in them beer and light
wines being the only drinks tap. and these cost
the soldier less than II bought from outsiders All
the profits divided among the companies for
mess funds. The amount sold to each man is
limited. and he must drink it the canteen
premises.
The grog shops around forts are usually kept
by women. They sell the worst fireworks
and encourage absence without leave. The soldier
is fined, drunk again. deserts is captured and
sent to prison-and the woman gets all the profits
The natives here sell 'bno' at 10 cents per can

THE NEW BILL LIKELY TO COMPLIcATE MAT
TIERS IN THE OPINION OF LAWYERS.
The bill of Assemblyman Weekes. which has
passed the legislature. aiming to abolish common
law marriages is regarded with amusement by
some of the lawyers of this city. They say that
Assembyman Weekes probably meant well. but
that his BILL if it becomes law, probably will do
more harm than good. The bill provides that
common law marriage shall not be valid unless 1t
is attested by written contract signed by the per-
sons contracting such marriage and by two wit
nesses and filed in the Office of the County Clerk
within six months after the signatures are ap-
pended. OF course nobody would be expected 10
marry in that fashion. and the intention of the bill
is TO prevent designing and disreputable women
from beginning suits for dover rights and making
claims against estates on the ground Of alleged
common law marriages. The bill OF Mr.. Weekes.
of the lawyers believe. might possibly prevent
such suits, but it might also make difficult even

no standing in the courts to-day, and the only
effect of Assemblyman Weekes's bill that can see
is TO give to such socalled marriages legal stand
ing. There might be another effect not anticipated
by Mr.. Weekes. 1t sometimes happens that
widow has trouble in proving that she was legally
married because witnesses OF her marriage

the courts have admitted evidence to show that she

RESULT OF SAMOAN CENSUS.
ONLY SLIGHT INCREASE OF NATIVE POPULATION
IN THIRTY YEARS.
fcorrespondence of The Assoelatea Press

Correspondence OF The Associated Press)
Tutuila, Samoa, March q. via San Francisco.
April IA census of the population of the Samoan
group has been taken. The number of Samoans in
ernment is $1,000. while the population Of the six
islands under the United States Government is re-
turned at $500 The slight increase in the last
thirty years is about the same in proportion all
round. The infant mortality is greatest. and this
is due in large measure to the ignorance and
carelessness in dieting the young. II is not un-
usual to see mother feeding her infant from the
mouth after she has herself masticated the food
intended the child. II is only since the United
States took possession that people have been able
to receive medical advice and treatment win the
sanitary laws in force and the laws concerning
the health of the people generally throughout the
island, II is hoped that in the next decade there
will be considerable increase of the native popu-
lation.

upon this letter, says:
We have not felt called upon to defend the Pre-

Of his office, nor do we feel called upon to do SO

lieve the Presiding Bishop relieved the Church Of
responsibility for what would have been a most
unhappy precedent by his disclaimer. The Bishops
intimate. with certain degree OF mystery, that
there is grave danger in the title of Presiding
Bishop of the Church. So far from this represen-
tative office being a dangerous believe II
is the mind of the American Church that this
fee should be made more effective. 1t would be
strange ii the American people. who clothe their
President with such extraordinary authority, should
be afraid of this uniting link in national

mention were it seriously put forward by seven
