this man was living with two sisters at the
same time.
0, Do you think all the friars were like
that? We're there not some who obeyed their
VOWS and were virtuous and lived pious live?
A. have already referred to that in my
statement, for | desire to be just under all
circumstances. Before replying further to
this question [ should like to complete the
answer to the last. In the quarters of town
farthest removed from the center, the family
life is purer there. There may be few cases
of concubinage, but there are comparatively
very few, while in the center of the towns the
cases of this kind are very numerous. as are
also robbery and other crimes. In word, it
can be truthfully said that the morality of the
Filipino people becomes looser and looser as
it nears the neighborhood Of the convent.
O. Does the feeling against the friars differ
in different localities?
A. There is a difference undoubtedly, but it
is due to the fact that in some provinces there
is fanaticism carried to such an extent, like in
Paganism, for instance, where the Dominicans
have been able to keep the people under the
influence of blind superstition and where they
believe that the priest is veritable god and
absolutely impeccable; but in the great ma
jority Of the provinces the feeling of hatred
against the friars permeated all classes
q. Do you know whether there are in these
islands a great many descendants Of the
friars?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. Is that generally understood?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. Do you know the persons and know who
their fathers. were!
A. | know of several sons of friars, but at
this moment remember one. [ can furnish
long list of them, but now [ think of but one
Q. Do you think the immortality was gen
eral or not-whether or not with great
many exceptions?
A. Yes, there were exceptions. but they
were very rare.
O. What was the ground of the hostility
against the friars?
A. The reasons for this hostility were many.
In the first place, the naughty, overbearng,
despotic manner of the friars. Then the ques-
ton of the haciendas, because the conditions
of their tenantry were very terrible. Then
there was the fact of the fear which beset
every man, even those who through fear were
nearest to the friars, that if his eyes should
light upon his wife or his daughter in an
envious way that if he did not give them up
he was lost. Another reason was that they
were inimical to educating the people. Then
again because of the parish fees, because they
were very excessive, always compelling the
rich to have the greatest amount of ceremony
in their weddings, baptisms and interments-
whether they wanted it or not-and cost them
thereby good deal, and if they did not accede
to the payment they would say they were
Masons or flibusters.
o. Was the chief reason for the feeling of
the people against the friars such as you have
stated; that is, that they represented to the
people the oppressive power Of the Spanish

n October, 1900, President Taft, then act
ing on a special board of inquiry into con-
ditions in the Philippine Islands, heard the
testimony Of various citizens. We have pub

The following testimony is that of Pedro

20. When were you born?
A. was born in October 1853, and am A
years Of age.
~. OH are a young man.
A. WORKOUT with fatigues and efforts to
overcome people who have tried to down me;
but I have forgiven them ALL 1t was not
their fault, it was the fault of the times.
o. VIII you state your profession?
A. I am teacher. My degree as teacher
of elementary schools [ got in Manila; the de-
gree of superior teacher [ received in Sala-
manca, Spain, and degree of instructor of
normal schools got in Madrid.
q. What do YOU know as to the morality of
the friars?
A. have already related in my statement
a few cases, and / would prefer to answer the
question by saying that the details Of the
immortality of the friars are SO base and so in
decent that instead of smirching the friars
would smirch myself by relating them.
When l was boy seven years of age, on
the opposite side of the street from my house
two ladies lived. They we're Filipinos, and
noticed two little children there and I would
ask my mother and the servants why it was
that they were prettier than we or anybody
in the town, and I was told that the friar
would know, and I learned he had as his
paistresses two sisters living under one roof,
and that these children were the children Of
either one or both of them; and this was done
pnblicly, for leaving out the question of his
vowed celibacy and chastity, he had broken

The device for cleaning kitchen
knives herewith shown is the inven-
ton of a California man. This con-
trivance consists of a couple of clean
ing stones held in juxtaposition in a
resilient frame. The frame consists
of two inverted V shaped wires with
springs connecting the three corners
of each. This has the effect of keep
ing the stones close together all the
time, but allowing enough leeway for
the admission Of knife blade or the
tines of a fork, which can be cleaned
by being rubbed up and down few
times. The springs will insure a suf
frictional action at all times.

Blondine followed her, trembling. She
passed through several beautiful
rooms. meeting several young persons
dressed like the one who was conduct

knew her. Finally. she was shown
into a drawing room exactly like the
one belonging to the White Deer, in
the Forest Of Lilacs.
This resemblance brought back such
a rush Of sad thoughts to Blondine,
that she did not notice that her at.
tendant had left her. She stood and
gazed sorrowfully around the room,
There seemed to be only one piece OF
furniture which had not belonged to
the White Deer. and that was an ex-
quisitely carved cabinet Of gold and

In the same moment, Blondine found
