The testimony of some of the head men and
leading residents gave as their reasons for the
growing hostility to the friars the following
testimony:
Gas to the political relations, they absolute
ly prohibit the children learning Spanish, and
look unfavorably upon those who know some
thing, advising the fathers of families not to
send their children to Manila to be educated
as they would become useless. In a word, they
greatly oppose all manner of enlightenment
"What fees were actually collected by the
parish priests for marriages, burials, and
christenings?"
''The fees they charged for marriages, bur-
ials. and christenings were adjusted Ito the
scheduleO, but when there was singing they
charged excessive fees at will The fees were
established in council held in Manila, presided
over by the Most Illustrious and Reverend
Senior Don Basilio de Santa Justa Y Rufna,
then archbishop. The poor, who could not
find money with which to pay the fees, lived
openly without marrying canoncally, and
therefore many lived in concubinage'
"What was the morality of the friars as
parish priests, ETC."
"Ihe morality Of the friars generally left
much to be desired; it was cause for scandal
among their parishioners-the way in which
they broke their vows of chastity and power
tv. This free life of the friars was so motor
ious that nothing was hidden from their par
ishioners, who had everything before their
eyes on all occasions. We shall cite some cas-
es: They compelled all the spinsters to 90 up
into the convent on Sundays and feast DAYS,
and there they exhorted them regarding mat
ters which were not advisable, and, not salts
fed with this, they advised them to confess
frequently, and thew relied upon this means.
to profane the house of God and, if they did
not secure their disordered ends, they sought
means, even though it were calumny, to Sc
cure the deportation of the fathers of families.
and IT the women were married their hus-
bands, as happened to former captain, Don
Miguel Revollo, and Others
"To show how far their astuteness went,
there still exists in the convent of this pueblo
two secret stalrWavs, the door being in the
form OF a wardrobe, which when opened
formed means OF eScape-One communicating
with the vault and leading from the choir of
the church to the sacristy, and the other in
the sleeDlng room of the curate. which led to
a stOrehOuse which is now used as the office
of the local presdente This was the idea of
the friar to carry out his impure and disor-
dered passions 1t can be said that there were
two curates OF this pueblo who were so cruel
and lnhlman that even without any reason
they verbally ill-treated whoever had the mis-
fortune to have anything to do with them,
without respecting the sanctity of the place
and of religious functions; wherefor, by reas
on of our conscences as good Catholics we
can not but protest under pain of threat
enlng the decentralization and corruption of
our holy religion. They abused all kinds of
females without distinction of class or ace.
and when some of them became with child
they gave them medicines to kill the fcetus."

Tammany, New York's great political or
ganization, while not exactly in the Down
and Out Club, bids fair to soon be member
of that ORDER in good standing. The election
results were surprising to many, and the
shorn leader, Murphy, is feeling the bitterness
of defeat.
One of the peculiar features was the ire
mendous strength Tammany welded outside
the city of New York The formation of an
anti Tammany organization, with no less
person than "Fingy' Connors at its head will
be one of the most aggressive forces Tam
many has ever had to deal with
Norman Mack, chairman of the national
and state Democratic committees, is a ward of
Tammany; he is a native of Buffalo, as is
also 'Fingy" Connors; neither loves the other,
and as Connors is to head the anti-Tammany
platform, Buffalo will be the scene of some
warm battles.
Murphy is fated to soon join the other
famous and infamous ''bosses' who have
ruled New York's Democratic party with such
iron despotism.

RICHMOND. Va, March 4.-"Baron
and Baroness Rothschild. Paris was the
entry on the register at the Jefferson
Hotel here today. Accompanied by sew
ersl servants, the distinguished repre-
sentative Of the famous banking firm
reached the city at II O'Clock from the
south. and was given suite Of six
rooms. The couple remained at the hotel
only a few moments, taking q taxicab
and driving to points Of interest in and
around the city.
When an effort was made to see the
baron today he denied himself to news
paper men, the reason assigned being
that he was still suffering from the
shock he received when his vessel was
wrecked last Sunday Oft the coast Of
Florida.
The baron and his party had dinner
here and late this evening took a train
for the north. During the stay here
there were no callers to see the visitors
and they were left free to go about the
city without any signs of recognition or
hindrance. and appeared to enjoy every
minute Of the stay. Though they came
unheralded and to remain only few
hours, thirteen trunks were sent to their
rooms in the hotel.

WANTS SMALLER COUNCIL.
Reduction From Sixty-Four to TWEEN
ty.Four Proposed in Richmond.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
RICHMOND, Va, March 4.--Holding
that tho two branches Of the council are
too large and are unwieldy, Councilman
Clyde II. Rotchiffe will, Monday night.
propose u resolution to reduce the num-
Der from sixty-four to twenty-four. He
proposes to divide the city into three
wards, instead Of eight. allowing each
ward three members OF the board Of
aldermen and five councilmen.
Many of the politicians oppose the plan
because they will lose their prestige,
while the business men favor the change.
The possibility of the city changing to
the commission form Of government may
have something to do with the sugges-
ton at this time. The charter of the
city would have to be amended to secure
the result desired by Mr.. Rotchiffe.

Fascinations of Pursuit-How the

From the Badminton Magazine.
Perhaps some o. the fascination Of tiger
shooting lies in the mischief that results
from bad shooting or methods. This en-
tails a carefulness which invests the
sport with gravity. marking it as apart
from other shooting.
For first and foremost stands the safety
Of ones companions, whether they be
beaters, crackers or elephants Shoot
dead or leave we'll alone is a counsel of
perfection which should ever be borne
in mind, even If not always attainable.
With the tiger lying dead or gone away
unwounded the trouble is ended until you
wish to start it again. With a wounded
beast afoot the trouble is hardly Yet be-
gun save IN the matter of getting heaters
and such IKE up trees or out or dangers
way elsewhere.
With elephants. especially howdah ele-
plants. pursuit may begin at once or be
delayed, according 10 circumstances.
Without them an hour or two's interval
or more on occasion should elapse before
starting on what may be a pleasant or
an unpleasant duty, according to the
sportsman's taste in these matters. But
a duty It NEARLY always is. Wounded
tigers are not articles to be lightly left
littering place.
The interval before pursuit allows of
chance OF three things-and OF one other
