Saturday, December 9.
The DeImOnico hotel, where we are
stopping in Manila, was a nobleman's
palace during the old Spanish davs.
My room is on a corner of the street
floor, and was formerly used as the
nobleman's Office. Both the large win
dows are barred like a prison The
floor is of tile, and there is no carpet.
The room is thirty by forty feet, with
very high paneled ceiling Around
the ceiling runs an elaborate border.
with patriotic and religious emblems
and pictures.
The hotel has an interior court and
garden, in the old Spanish style. and
banana trees are growing in the gar
den. The front entrance to the hotel
is large enough to admit a carriage
which was probably the rule at one
time, for the entire court is paved
with heavy flag stones, and extends en-
tirely through the building to admit
light and air. Opening on this court lis
the garden. The dining room is reach
ed by an elaborate stairway. and the
present dining room was probably at
one time the great reception hall of
tne palace. Some of the upper rooms
are very elaborate with private baths,
and royalty may have been entertafn-
ed here i'm the old days.
In the street opposite my room is an
electric railway, and crowded cars go
by at frequent intervals. Across the
narrow street on the other side of nv
room is an American beer saloon. and
every time a sale is made, I can hear
the cash register ring. This street is
paved with stone blocks. and last
night q team of horses stalled within
six feet of my window and threshed
around as contrary horses do. The
driver clueked to the horses exactly as
an American might have done. but
didn't swear; indeed, he didn't saw
anything: he backed and turned the
horses and clucked at them, untu he
finally got away.
There is no wire mosquito screen at
the windows Of my room, but over the
bed is frame, and this frame is COW
cred with white mosquito netting. Nh e
windows being open. mosquitoes are
very numerous. and last night thew

BRILLIANT SHOW
OF SPRING hats
STYLES FOR ALL WOMEN IN BIG
ASSORTMENT.
Powers Mercantile Company Has a
Beautiful Display of Latest Crea-
lions.

The Powers Mercantile company held
its opening Of spring millinery yesterday,
and even the disagreeable March wind
did not prevent hundreds Of feminine
shoppers from visiting the handsome
department.
Hats of every desert ption and for
every occasion were shown, and the
styles are so many and varied that
there can be no excuse for any woman
One of the charming modes shown
by Powers is the "Shepherdess, an
exact reproduction of the quaint droop-
ing hats, with garlands of flowers, seen
in old engravings Of fifty years ago.
The most distinctive feature Of the
new hats is the crown and the extreme
tilt the wide bandeau at the back
gives. Some Of the popular crowns are
the 10, low, round t1 derby derby, the , mushroq qn
large tam and the high square crown
which was worn several years ago. The
brims are mostly short in front and the
backs both broa d and long.
Another fetching mode shown yester-
day is called the Marie Antoinette,
copied from the headgear always worn
by the Inflated queen. Nearly all the
mourning bonnets will be made in this
design.

wide scope in trimmings, nor have
the materials used been SO beautiful
in weave and texture. Flowers, lace
tuEle, handsome ribbons, wings and
even the birds which have heretofore
been left to winter millinery are used
in both the street and dress hats; nor
need the bird-lover protest, for they
are all made birds.
A handsome imported hat shown
yesterday was made of white horse

The material used was fine whit.

Paul.
{ There was considerable feeling mani
tested on tile part of some Of tho com
rades from outside Minneapolis in re-
gard to inadequate seating facilities in
the building in which the encampment
was held, and the building was said to
be- too hard to find for many of the
comrades. =
AS was said yesterday, the feature of
the afternoon was the reading of the
letter from Commander in-chief James
Tanner on the proposed congressional
action to remove Grand Army men from
clerical positions in government depart
ments. In response to the commander,
in-chief s appeal, past COMMANDMENTS
chief Torrance presented to the en-
campment the following memorial Of
protest, which was adopted by unani-
nous rising vote, r. g..
To the Congress of the United States:
The department of Minnesota Grand
Army of the Republic, at it's fortieth an
nual encampment assembled, and repre-
senting II, 600; surviving soldiers and sail
ors of the war for the. preservation of the
union, most earnestly protest against the
enactment of any law that may now or
| hereafter exclude, on account Of age,
| those who bore the. burden of the battles
! of that great war from being employed
| or continuing in the employment Of the
executive departments or other establish
nents of the national government. We
do not ask that any union soldier or sail
or be employed or protected in a posi-
ton that he is not qualified to fill, MOI
| that he be continued in any office, the
duties of which he cannot properly dis
charge by rtk son Of any infirmlty or un.
| fitness, but we must, earnestly protes
against any competent and faithful com
rade being discredited or punished sim
ply because he has been blessed with {
heritage of years, in. the land which HI
helped to save.
Our faith in the patriotism of thos'
charged with federal legislation, and ou
belief that the strong. arm of the govern
! ment will never be lifted to rudely thrus

make this protest unnecessary, but IL
