Correction.

Those who are interested in these col
umns will be surprised to see this week
another picture of Comrade Houghton,
and more SUI )rised if they compare it
with last weeks picture. The fact is we
got the wrong name under the picture
last week. In place of Chas. S. Houghton
it should have read A. S. Fair. Both are
too goodlooking to be trified with in this
way, and we make our humble apologies.
We have just received letter from
Comrade Houghton saying that he could
not remember of ever having such a
growth Of whiskers as appeared in his
picture printed last week, but to never
mind, as he got the money for his prize
all right.
We have plenty of grateful letters from
winners, acknowledging receipt Of their
prize money, some of them expressed in
such glowing terms that we would blush
to print them. We have, also, letters
from the friends and neighbOrs of win
ners. Here is one of them, from Mr.. d.

that l was not at fashionable function
in my own country, unless l eneday-
ored to carry on conversation. The music
was superb, the hard and highly polished
floor splendid for dancing, and the Sc
nOritas were graceful dancers. On their
feet were heelless slippers, chinelas, held
on simply by the toe, and unfastened. One
not expert in their use would shed such
n foot covering at almost every step, but
these graceful dancers had no difficulty
with them. Occasionally one came off
and the fair owner, scarcely stopping. in
her movements, picked it up with her
dainty and prettily stickinged foot with
out the least evidence of embarrassment
or haste.
The dances were the lancers and the
usual round dances, the old-fashioned
waltz predominating. One dance, only,
seemed peculiar to them, and that was
doubtless of Spanish origin. A couple
firmly clasped together would spin about
the room, whirling like flying dervishes
until it was almost impossible to discover
that there were two persons instead of
one, and finally halting as suddenly as

FILIPINO BALL AND COSTUMES.

afternoon siesta, and in the evening the
ball. For this occasion our lady compan-
ion, Mrs. RUSSELL arrayed herself in full
Filipino costume, and became thereby the
fairest of the senoritas, as we'll as the
most beautiful. 1t was to me an added
but unnecessary proof that the American
woman leads the world in beauty as well
as in intelligence, vivacity and adaptable
ity to varying conditions. She was greet
ed by Aguinaldo with profuse compliments
upon her appearance and elaborate thanks
for thus complimenting the Filipino peo-
pie by appearing on such an occasion in
their native costume. 1t was another

One of the favoritc methods of lawyers
who want their names in the papers is
to talk about injunctions. 1t is a fine
word, and reminds US of the old fellow
whose pet word was recupcrate, with va
riations. Standing with friend along
side the pasture lot one evening and
pointing to an old horse that was graz
ing, he expressed his disappointment as
follows. Il turned that animile into this
lot two weeks ago to recuperate. and, by
gum, he don't seem to 'recupe, neither
does he 'decupe.' Mr.. Aulls's injunc-
ton does not seem to 'injunct,' neither
does it 'dejunet.'

With the prizes so large and plenty of

is no wonder that we are called upon to

is that there are not more of them. 1t is

The Treasury Receipts were very irreg-

by the Treasury being closed the previous
Saturday. The average during Septem-

claimants are misled, probably, by think
