centre of the room clinging to the ceiling.
Through the foliage glimmcred count

In the deep window recesses stood tree
palms. The flag decoration was simple

Souvenir Menu Cards.
The dinner was not. contrary to general
supposition, given in honor of Prince
Henry. 1t was, as the legend on the GOV
er Of the menu sets forth, a dinner by
the President" On the official guest list
the princes name and those of the oTfi-
GERS Of his suite held precedence, how
ever.
At the tcp of the card there were
crossed the flags of the two nations. Be
low, the white hulled HohenZO!lern
crulsed through painted sea OF blue.
At one side. in a streak of darker buff
than that of the background was the
American eagle with a shield of red,
white, and blue on its breast, and above
it the familiar double eagle Of Germany.
In the lower corner an inch space was
given to vignette Of the White House.
The Meteor Depicted.
The timely touch of the whole was
given by the picture beneath of the
Meteor vcering well over before the wind
and appearing TO be making a smart pace
through the waves.
The three cards which constituted the
menu-souvenir were fastened together
with red white, and blue ribbons On

anchor, was set forth the menu itself, as

Feeding Many Filipinos.

Major West, OF the Commissary De-
par,ment. writing from Manila to Gen
eral Weston. chief commissary, has the
following to say concerning the feeding
OF natives in the Philippines:
Il was in hopes that the closing up
OF the campaign in Batangas and La
guna would end the feeding CT the ma
tives. but such is not the case. although
the camps have been broken up. The
natives were left in destitute condi-
ton; had been unable 10 plan new
crops; and the old crops had been dc.
stroyed in the military operations and
SO the work has TO go on.
General Bell was in the citys and |
asked him about the number OF natives
he was feeding He :old me that IN
Batangas he was feeding approximately
10000 persons. In Laguna he could
not give the exact number, but ! Judge
from the quantity that we supply that
there must be about half as many.
