and an undevcloped taste, But the
photograph has rs great mission for
good in the Philippines. and has
come to stay.
To the American, one OF the strang
es, Of musical phenomena In the Phil
ippincs is that OF the funerals, Any
family that can afford II always has
the church band for the funeral, The
performance begins outside the house
OF the deceased, and when the process
sion forms 10 go to the church and
later to the cemetary, II Is always
headed by the band and accompanied
by music for the entire distance So
far SO good; but the musicl There's
the rub Nothing bu, the liveliest
quieksteps and 'raggedics" two-iour
jigs are never played. The story
that "A Hot Time in the Old Town"
is a iayorite tune for Philippine fun
erals is thought TO be slandcr or a
joke, but it is nothing Of the sort; it
is very lively truth, and one that the
average American finds very hard to
reconcile with his preconceived ideas
OF what is a fitting accompaniment
for the last long procession.
All things musical in the Philip
pines reach their climax in the mag
nifcent Constrbulary Band. Eighty
men, all natives, under the direction
OF Capt. Loving, himself an Ameri-
can negro and graduate OF Boston
Conservatory, have reached degree
Of skill that caused them to be award
ed the second prize at the St,Louis
Exposition. Every American in the
Philippines is justly proud of this
splendid band, and no one factor has
been more powerful in making life
endurable and attractive in Manila
than the Constabulpy Band. Two
evenings per week out in the open
Luneta the band plays programmes
that are unexcellcd anywhere in the
world. The choice masterpieces are
mixed with the popular favorites, and
the greatest and most difficult COM
positions arranged for big band work,
with the most refined and delicate
creations Of the great composers, are
poured out upon the delicious even
ing air, and all are to be had merely
for the trouble OF going out and
listening .
The American in Manila has many
and mixed experiences, but Of them
ALL none will be more gratefully re-
membered than that Of the evening
concerts on the Luncta. The fore
ground of all the wealth and youth
and beauty OF the city out on its even
ing promenade, the background Of
the glorious and gorgeous tropical
| sunset back OF old Mariveles, and in
the center OF it all, the glittering band
stand with its eighty men playing the
best that music has to give to heart
sore and homesick mcn--this is an
oasis in the desert.
The programme always closes with
the "Star Spangled Banner" when
! every hat Is lifted and every man

last night at the New Theatre

The MISUNDERSTANDING and

ludicrous and puzzling. The

The commercial club of this !,
city will meet the first week in
February for election of officers.
Now this organization should be
continued for there are many
things PERTAINING to the well /
fare of the city that cannot be
handled, except by those direct
ly interested in the city in both
a financial and business way.
The clubs in the various towns
of this county are doing good
work and have aided materially
in the upbuilding of business
enterprises and assisting new
concerns to locate, when it is
known that their business will
be of benefit to that particular
town. It seems many times in
this town that there is a dispos-
ition on the part of the business
men to disagree in every pro-
position brought up, and in
consequence the commercial
club is deemed, by some, as in
competent and unnecessary. If
in other towns, and the cities
especially, these clubs are look
ed to first for any inquiring in
weston as having inside infor-
nation regarding the probat lie
success Ct any institution begun
here, WI y She u!d not tie same
be tue of the organization in
this city and it could if the
members would strive for the
general betterment of condi-
/ tions ard not make every move
for their own special interest.
BY building up coed stores ard
good enterprises here. the town
can be made a better trading
center, and if the people con e
here for any particular reaso-,
every man is sure to Get his
|share of the increased business.
At this, the beginning Of the
new year, why cannot the
merchants and business men in
general get together end try to
make preparations to boost the
Interests Of the towr.
;. In 1906, $4,000 horses were
J slaughtered for food in Paris,
furnishing about 10000 tens Il
meat. Formerly horse meat
was eaten by only the poorest
classes, but now it is no long el
regarded as refuse meat arc
: its consumption by the working
classes is rapidly increasing
Throughout Europe.
