 Old Manila never had any kind of sewerage system. The private arrange ments of residences were fearfuIly un- sanitary. The drainage of houses was carried into the river or moat, and not a little Of it escaped by way of the streets. All this is being rectified as rapidly as possible and the walled city may become in time a tolerably health ful, if not pleasant place in which to live.
 The cathedral and palace face on what was the public square. The for mer dates from 1880. when the great earthquake destroyed its predecessor. Until recently the ruins lay in juxta position to the building. a speaking evidence Of the habitual procrastina- tion of the Spaniard. The cathedral. like most large buildings liable to the effect of seismic forces. is flat and de- void of upper structures. It derives. nevertheless. a certain. beauty and granduer from its noble proportions and simple lines. The foundations were laid at the time of the creation of the archiepiscopate. in 1895. but several edifices have occupied the site since then.

daily life The Glrly day was spent behind closed blinds. From To [ iu the evening society went calling in Ian- guid and dignified fashion Toward sunset all Manila gravitated to the Lu- meta, where on foot and in carriages they circled its oval course whilst lis- tening to the strains Of a military band. Here also the populace of all classes thronged to witness the public execu- uOns. which during the TagaloS rebel lion were of almost daily occurrence.
 The condemned stood lined against the sea wal to be shot down by pIatoons of Spanish infantry. whilst the crowd shouted vivas. some in sympathy with the authorities. others in fear of them
 The streets of the city were badly paved and the sidewalks overhung by the upper stories Of the houses. were in may places too narrow to admit of the passage of two pedestrians abreast Lamps. supplied with cocoanut oil or kerosene. inadequately served to light the thoroughfares. but the police regu- lations were strict and good order pre- vailed within its walls. The fire de- partmcnt, which is now under Chief Bonner one of tho best in the East. was then a very crude institution with the most primitive equipment. Flames have frequently destroyed large DOT tions of the city.
 A private residence is seldom more than two stories in height. nor. indeed. do the public buildings often exceed that altitude. The ground floor of the former is always given over 10 the ser wants or used as a coachhouse.

old Manila. with it's bastioned and embattled walls, stands on the spot sell ectcd by Legaspi at the mouth of the Pasig. It is not an inviting site. but strategic and commercial considera- tions amply justified the determination of it in the first days of the Spanish colony. The massive stone walls erec- ted at the close of the sixteenth cen tury remain in a state of remarkable preservation, and make Manila Intra- murus one of the finest examples Of medieval military architecture existing Hardly as ancient, but equally useless with the quaint draWbridges. were The futile cannon which filled the embras- ures. Like some scared and fanEless wolfhound, the grand old stronghold stands mOmento of braver and better days. Stirring days are associated with the history. and many a time has old Manila upheld the sovereignty of old Spain in Pacific waters. These gray ramparts repelled Chinese and Moro pirates. Dutch and Portuguese inva- ders, before the BFitish forced them and captured them and captured the city. The heavy walls have withstood with little injury the many earthquakes which from time to time have laid the interior buildings low.
 Manila Intramuros is small and crowded. Its circumference Of some what more than two miles is bounded by water, on two sides the river and the bay, on the others a mOat. In re- cent years the unsanitary state of the place has suggested the erasure of the walls and moat. The latter. stagnant and refuse-laden. has long been pro- life source of disease. Fortunately. for archaeological reasons the American authorities have decided to preserve the old Notifications whilst filling in tensive flower garden.
 old Manila contains the Spanish gov ernment and public buildings. the cath ederal and II other churches, a number of monasteries. convents. col leges and similar ecclesiastical struc- lures, a few retail shops and the inter- mingled residences of the rich and poor. So frequent and disasterous has been the destruction by earthquake that no ancient building remains in its entirity. but as reinstatement has generally foi- lowed original lines. in the main the tout ensemble is medieval and attrac- tive to the sentimentalist.

The Insect War.

Mans grudge against the humble
insect WAKES with increasing knowl-
edge. To an earlier generation the
buzzers, biters and stingers were
nothing worse than a nuisance. To
coming ages they are likely TO be a
chief menace to life. Mark the grave
indictments brought by the grand
jury Of science:
The mosquito not only runctures
us with her poisoned probe and
wrecks our sleep with her intolerable
song, but she also introduces into our
veins the unwelcome germs Of malaria
and yellow fever. The house fly has
become notorious as q distributor OF
typhoid and cholera. Ugly rumors
connect the nimble flea with bubonic
plague and leprosy. The pestilence
that walketh IN darkness, of whom
the poet sings that though he "hath
no wings at all, yet he gets there just

Success Of the Republican Party,

There 10 every reason to believe that
the whole Republican county ticket
will be elected in November. The
personnel Of the whole ticket and the
character and ability Of the respective
nominees for the various county po-
sisions is such as to give confidence to
the party organization that each and
every one will be elected. Then,
again, national affairs will affect the
result. The Democratic nstional or.
gsnization il hopelessly entangled on
doctrines, creeds and platforms, SO
much go that the signs are that the
whole party will soon be q thing OF
the past. In every state where Re-
publican rule is felt there is activity
along the line OF alienation of the
troubles that bsset the poor, ourbing
OF trusts and monopolies, and the big
stick after grafters and governmental
and private blood suckers. Not in
nfty years has the country experienced
such . sweeping announcement OF
roguery, and Q more stanch support
OF honesty than during the present
administration Of President Theodore
Roosevelt. The past Republican
county administration has been one
OF economy with thorough, practical
men in Office. Some of them ask to
be returned and their records entitle
them to that consideration at the
hands OF the voters. All OF the new
nominees are men OF long acquaint-
ance in the county with successful
private business careers.

A charming instance Of feminine
altruism was presented the other day
in Brooklyn. where six rosy Young
women pelitioned the court in round
robin asking for the discharge OF a
man whom they described as "very

nice OF the girls in view OF the fact
that the man WAS locked up on the

who charged that bis devotion to her

Arbitration is not any longer an
experiment, nor even a series of ex-
periaents. 1t is now the settled
practice OF the civilized nations when
disputes arise between them and is
universally recognized in interna-
tional law. A government which will
not try arbitration before resorting to
arms is in these days scarcely consid.
cred respectable. War, instead of be-.
ing the general practice OF nations as
it was century, ago when serious dis.
putes arose between them, is no longer
resorted to except in rare instances,
and in most Of these instance the
causes run far back into the past and
have created deep prejudices and
deeply rooted feelings of distrust and
snimosity, which do not readily yield
to rational pacific treatment.
