MANILA, May 7, 1904.
There are eleven public market houses in
Manila owned and managed by the munich
pality, in which you can buy almost any
thing you wish to eat and all sorts Of cheap
general merchandise, but they are barren
Of curiosities. There is very little native
handiwork. The best examples to be found
in the marAet are baskets, trays. mats,
hats and other articles made of bam-
boo and the many natural fibers in which
the Philippines abound.
The meat is inferior; there is practically
no beef whatever in the islands, and very
few mich cows. because there is no grass.
This is true of all tropical countries. Snow
and frost are necessary to make nourishlng
pastures. Tropical grass is too coarse and
fibrous to make good forage. 1t would
seem that alfalfa and other forage plants
might be easily grown here, although l

Thomas fallen away from the highest standard of musical interpretation nor given to the public anything that was not worth the giving. Through the for teen years of his residence here he and the association have unfinchingly ad- hered to their pledge never to recede from hightest standard.
 Some have thought that 1t would have been wiser, while holding to the highest to interpretative art. some times to relax little the severity rot the artistic verity-o the work in terpreted, for the sake of the educa- tional result, remembering that it was such relaxation by Mr. Thomas in his New York park concerts long ago and in those never-to-be-f forgotten ten years of summer night concerts here in large degree educated the public which has made this last achievement possible. Yet thinking this does moi prevent them from honorfng the un- shrinking pertinacity that drove straight toward the end and has won it--a little late, perhaps, but substani- ally.
 t Thomas is unique among artists in the material result he has just won is the fact that Chicago is unique among cit ies in conceding any such reward to art or artist. Princes and potentrates have 'patronized" art and governments have before have more than 5000 people, from all classes in any one community joined together in contributing their
 money to such a cause.
 A large part of Mir. Thomas career was passed in New York and another large share of his work was done in Cincinnati, but no step toward such a result as stands accomplished here has yet been taken fin either of those cities Boston owes its orchestra, which is still without a home, to the nunifi- cenee of single citizen and not at all to the initiative anod liberal courage of her people. Any one of them might have done that which the people oi Chicago have united to do and have done.
 I The facts seem to justify George E Adams in his declaration during his Wednesday evening address that thus far in her history Chicago has proved herself to De the most public-spirit city in the world. No other has taken any such step. The one leader who has proved equal to laying the artistic foundation for it gravitated to the one city whose people were ready to main- fest the spirit and courage to built on it after others had been been unseeing
 The conjunction has crowned one life with a unique success, has set mark which other cities have already begun to show signs of emulating and has laid on Chicagos future generations that strong incentive to further action which is expressed in the old French noblesse oblige.-From the Chicago Chronicle.

BROWN UNIVERSITY

Providence, R. l., Dec. 22.-The new catalogue of the university for 419O4-O5 is neat volume of some two hundred and fifty pages and contains several noteworthy features. The history of the university, which is again inserted after an omission of several years, in summarizing the administration of President w. H. F. Faunce calls atten- tion to the seven new buildings added to the equipment during the last few years, to the alumni fence now sur rounding the front and middle campus es, and the addition of the John Carter Brown Library of Amerieana-the most valuable collection on the subject in ex- istence. The endowment of the univer- sity has been raised to s2,4s2.19S, exclu. sive of the funds pertaining to the John Carter Brown Library. At the close of the one hundred and thirty sixth com mencement in June there were enrolled the names of 5,Ss5 graduates. Of the entire number BPS, or fifty-three per cent, were living

Chicago Rejoicing over the Career

Chicago Rejoicing Over the Career of
 the Former New York Musician.
 When the great audience, the orches- tra and the Apollo Club chorus, wait ing silently in the New Orchestra on Wednesday evening last, broke out in stant1y in plaudits that were unmis- takably sponaneous as Theodore Thomas entered to take up the baton, he must have felt as the successful con testant for a disputed throne feels when he stands, the central figure, in the ceremony of the coronation. The cynic is so much in evidence that we are tempted to feel that single hearted devotion to any clean and lofty aim is vain and that the grafter and the scalawag were fore dained to possess the earth. The career of MT. Thomas and the reward of accomplished aspira- tion which has just begun for him bring cheering assurance that this is not always true.
 For forty years MT. Thomas has been expending his strength not to accunlu- late wealth nor to crown himself with laurel and still less to achieve the mir acle of a Tnillion-dollar home for an orchestra, thing unknown in history. None of these things, if offered, would have been rejected, indeed, but pri- marily, his aim was the lifting and broadening of the glory and power of music among men, and his motive is 3a profound and enthusiastic love of his art.
 Now, indeed he has come into a great reward -such a reward as no musician ever won before at the hands of the people-but for nine-tenths of the forty years it is not probable that he ever dreamed of such reward. Certainly nobody else thought of it. Is not there something in his reward crowning a lifetime of unselfish fidelity to high standard that gives the lie to the cyrl- ical, denoralizing notion that the earth and the fullness thereof belong to the grafter and-the cheat? Is not 1t some thing that all honest men may frankly envy the unbending old leader that, be- side advancing his art, his career has unconsciouslys demonstrated that the love and honor of heroic, knightly de votion to lofty ideals has not yet per- ished from among men?
 Never in all the forty years has MT.
