Aberdeen, S. D., July gs11.--Mrs. Fannie
Hausera Kipp, who is in the custom house
at Manila, and has recently been advanced.
to an 81, 800 position, writes a friend In
this city some interesting letters, from
which your correspondent is permitted to
make the following extracts: asl -H---;..
During January, February and March. the
weather was just perfect, about like the
latter part. of May or the first OF June in
Dakota. Several times 1 wore quite heavy
wraps in the evening, and always carried a
light one Y Il have worn summer clothes
all the time of course, but now the hot
weather is' here everything is white. It
is so much cooler than tn g same thing
In black and so much nicer The
highest the thermometer has reached
so far Is eS. I do not mind the heat
any more than did in Aberdeen; but here
nobody thinks of walking in the middle of
the day except the natives EVERYBODY ,flaes. e;
am wearing now in the office every day, a
thin shirt waist with elbow sleeves and no
collar, a semi-short skirt of white drill and
white canvas shoes. We also wear white on
own faces here, for the ladies nearly all use
talcun powder and most of the barber shops
powder the men dreadfully The Spanish
ladies are about the only ones to wear high
stock collars and I am sure they are well
come to them, for the only place 1 have been
troubled with heat-rash, is right under my
chin, Just where the top of q collar would
come, SO have not worn one for over two
months and don t expect to for at least two
years. One of the essentials here is. talcum
powder, for, as we bathe very frequently and
perspire so freely, the skin seems to get very
tender, so a large majority OF the people
take aS5 rub-down with - aleum fter every
bath. S Z 81 IS ss 3sg5s

look like faded-out editions, for so few Of
them retain their rosy cheeks. It is such a
lazy, indolent life that we lead, that. there
is no incentive to exercise. Yet, nearly every
one that lives here long wants to come back
after a very brief stay in the States. 1t GER.
tainly is a fascinating country, and see
no reason why the Americans here can not
make all the money they want in the next
few years, especially if the cholera will only
wipe. out a few more natives, and they will
allow coolie labor. That is almost an abso-
lutte necessity over here, for the Fil1pinos
won't work, and the Americans could not
stand it. The coolies will do more work and
work more hours than an, ordinary machine,
and they seem to enjoy 1t, too.
A1large consignment of Japanese !rickshaws
has just been received and they are going to
try the experiment : here, and endeavor If
possible, to relieve the transportation problem
a little. As 1t is now, It costs almost as
much to hire a shabby little .old carramata,
as it would handsome carriage in the States
The Spaniards, who seem to own most ~of the
rigs. will tell you to your face that the
Americans have lots Of money, SO they can
pay lots, therefore they charge the Americans
from two to three times as much as their.

The little, band Of Ojibway Indians
gave its first presentation of the Indian
play of 'sIiawatha" July 10 on Kensing-
ton Point, near Desbarats, small sta
tion On the 500 road, twenty miles
beyond Sault Ste. Marie. Desbarats
promises to become the Mecca for the
lovers of Longfellow's Incompatible poem,
and every train and steamer drops tour
lists who are anxious to see the story
and the country made famous by the poet.
Those who were fortunate enough to
witness the production last summer and
the summer before have been so en-
thusiastic in their praise Of the play, the
actors and the setting, that the hillside
that serves as an ampitheater will be
thronged at each performance. The en-
tertainment is unique one and offers an
unrivaled opport unity for the tourist to
see the Indian legends enacted by the
descendants of the heroes whose prowess
Is sung in the stories. The parts are all
taken by Indians who present series of
striking pictures in their savage garb,
and the cast includes the chief and an
Indian princess. Many of the trappings
are heirlooms and have been carefully
preserved for. generations. No word of
English is spoken, but the acting is so
perfect and the poem so familiar that
the audience has no difficulty in following
the play. From the moment that the

ing about cholera over here. We have it
right. with us, but, as 1t does not seem to
touch the Americans or Europeans, we are
not going to be alarmed : The city board of
health has been working for long time to
get the city cleaned up and has been offer
ing a bounty on rats, as they are supposed to
carry the germs. Cholera is only contracted
by the germs being taken into the stomach,
SO if one is extremely careful about eating
and, drinking, there is no danger of the dis
ease. There are water wagons and water
stations all over the city, where boiled or
distilled water is furnished free to any that
come for it,, and still the natives will drink
the city water and bathe in the Pasig river,
that's, as thick with filth as the Missouri is
with sand. They think the detention camp is
only a scheme of the Americans to get them
into the calaboose, and will do anything to
avoid going there. They turn out their own
folks, If they are sick; and, If they die, the
body is thrown into the river or the canals.
= All this makes it very hard to accomplish
much toward driving out the disease but,
when you realize that in over six weeks there
have been a little less than "a Thousand
deaths, while in the last epidemic, there were
over thousand a week, the result is very
complimentary TO- the American board Of
health. One of the saddest things that has
happened here for some time was the death
of Major Meacham3 Of the~ board of health
He, died from the severe strain and over
work, not cholera, as some inferred, and was
a martyr If, there ever was one. His mother
and two little daughters were on the way
out here and arrived a day or two after his
death. His wife has already started to come
out for his body and for the children.
There have been few deaths among
Americans and Europeans, but in nearly every
case, it was due to direct contact with cholera
patients, mixed with carelessness, in most
cases. We are all looking very anxiously to
the time when the quarantine will. be raised
again, for now we have no fresh vegetables
of any kind, and do not dare eat much of
the fruit either. The quarantine has affected
business, too, and everybody is complaining
of the hardest times they ever saw, for no
one is allowed to come in or go out Of the
city, except with a pass from the board of
health, and this is very seldm granted to q
native, 50 the provincial trade is practically
shut off. One man, when asked. If he was
afraid of f4cholera, said he was no more afraid
Of it than of being run over by a carabao,
and as the old fashioned American OK team
is extremely swift in comparison with these
animals, you can appreciate the expression.

Bloemfontein, Orange River Colony,
July 11.-Dificulty has arisen regarding
the oath OF Fallegfence. Many of the Boer
commandments, field comets and officials Of
the late Free State government, refuse TO
sign the oath, though few of them object
to signing the document called "the decla-
ration, !" acknowledging King Edward as
sovereign. The oath Of allegience, how

appear that the United States alone is to
make police and sanitary regulations for

8 Of the draft OF the canal treaty provides
for the creation of "a Joint commission

nonnced that they wanted to engage
some sailors. The news soon reached
the crimps, who thought that any one
who offered employment to sailors with
out their consent ought to be punished.
So they sent out number Of Their
gang to hire out to the two mates 8
ssilors, and to offer to take them where
other sailors could be found.
The mates were decoyed down to the
water front where they we're assaulted
by gang OF cut-throats who knocked
the second mate down with club and
would no doubt have served the first
mate the same way but he pulled a Elk
shooter and blew out the brains of his
assailant. He was arrested for murder
but after preliminary examination was
discharged. and boarded his ship with
the blessings OF eli the good citizens Of
Astoria whose only regret was that he
d dn't have rel ting shot gun and so
that he might have bagged more of
them,
The legislature can pass law that
will drive these people out of business,
but it will have to be introduced and
passed by members who do not live in
our seaport towns; for the crimps are q
po Eer in politics, aud office seekers from
the same towns are too anxious for their
support to do any thing to antagonize
them.
Frank I Butler, the Ehglish author,
who wrote the Cruise Of the Cachelot,"
and other sea stories, devotes chapter
or two in one Of his books to the telling
of his adventures With the "Crimps"
when his vessel visited the Columbia
River. This was in the days when Jim
Turk rulsd our ports. Jim Turk is dead
but his disciples are all alive aud are
carrying out the teachings of their mas-
ter to such an extent that the sea ports
Of Oregon have become notorious all over
the shipping world.
