before the hanging was to take place.
Ribarich had painted many of his
friends and had drawn a sketch of
himself dangling at the end of rope
with his body half concealed through
the falling of the trap.
Rabarich shot and killed Michael No

father said his only desire was to kill
his daughter before he died, as she
had disobeyed him.

Heir to s1Oo,o00,0O0 Receives
Letters From Many Persons.
Women Propose Marriage and Men
Ask Him to Become Partners in
Business-Others Make
Odd Requests.

New York.-Vincent Astor's latest
trouble is deluge of letters from
persons anxious to advise him as to
the best manner of spending his $780,
100000 inheritance. Many of the let
tiers are from women, telling of their
great love and conveying offers of mar
riage.
Old women and young women, bra
zen and demure, thin and fat ones,
pretty and ugly, have taken their pens
in hand, not without hope of gain
Some have pretended to bespeak Mr..
Astor's interest in behalf of causes
other than purely personal ones, but
most of them have been frankly smit-
ten in the desire to call the young
mans attention to certain persons that
he otherwise might overlook.
Some Of the writer's have waited in
front of the Astor estate offices in
Twenty-sixth street for a glimpse of
the boy. Most have mistaken the
handsome mick" Biddle for the OBJ
ject of their curiosity, much to Bid
dies embarrassment. He is an exc
cutor of the Astor estate, is about thir-
ty-four and looks younger.
And 1t isn't only through the me-
dunn of letters that women have
pressed their suits. The telephone has
been kept pretty busy, both at the Of
fees and at the Fifth avenue house,

with girlish voices whose owners were
anxious to have opportunities to meet
the heir of millions. The reasons as
signed were as many as the letters
contained.
Some of the writer's want the young
man to do something worthy of his
name" There have been suggestions
that he finance the suffragette cause
Others want him to use his fortune to
buy up breweries and distilleries and
put them out of business for the sake
of promoting the cause of prohibition.
Comparatively few of the letters writ
ten by women are from inventors. This
class of communications almost always
bore mans signature.
Things suggested for a worthy use
of the money ranged from patent
bung-starters to methods of bridging
Behring strait. Included in the ap-
peals are those of professional beg
gars. Churches. schools and libraries
divide honors as to the numbers of
their letters with propositions from
business houses that offer him inter-
ests for ever so small sum.
Most of these letters, of course, need
no answer Those from women on
subjects of the heart are entirely ig-

RF YOU go sightseeing in Manila
the guides do not fail to show you
the Carcel de Bilibid. They do so
with a great deal of pride. Once
Bilibid, within almost a stones
throw of your hotel, was the most
hated place in existence to the ma
tlves; now 1t holds no more terrors
than the best Of prisons in the states.
Bilibid, in fact, has been transformed
from a house of torture to a model
and sanitary prison wherein the con-
victs are not only kept in good phys
ical condition, but are required to la
Dor at occupations which. in their later
life. often prove profitable.
Why the original constructors of
Bilibid designed it on lines which sug-
gested the most sanitary conditions
and yet turned it into the flthiest of
institutions is circumstance which
made the United States authorities
ponder. In the midst of the old city,
lying within a circle more than mile
in circumference, nineteen long low
buildings converge on an open space
surrounding a large circular building
and from what is said to be the larg-
est prison in the world. There is
plenty of air space between the build
ings. Besides the 10 prison quarters
which radiate outward from the cir
cular guardhouse in the center there
are five other buildings. composing
the administration offices, the commits
sary and Quartermaster's storehouses,
and the ice and electric plants, all
within the great circular area.
Topping In height each of these
buildings there are guard towers from
which can be poured any number of
steel death-dealing missiles within the
great Enclosure and for a great radius
without. There Is one large tower In
the center above the main guardhouse.
4 score or more surround the inclos-
ure at equal intervals, and there is not
nook or cornor in Bilibid which does
not come under the eye of the watch
full sentinels.
The long, low buildings of Btlibid
comprise the prisoners quarters.

islands, the great prison has been d.
vided in two parts by a great stone
wall. One-half is set apart for the
American military and civilian prison
ers, the remainder for the native Fill
Pine and the Spanish, Chinese, Japa-
nese and other prisoners of different
natlonalities. The great prison has
heretofore been given two names; the
former the Presidio de Manila, the lat
ter the Carcel de Bilibid. The whole
prison is under military command, but
the native section is directly super
vised by native officials
Clean and Ventilated.
Since October, 1898, when the Amer
lean officials took charge of the pris-
on, Bilibid has undergone most ben
ef1cial transformation. Those quarters
known as the dormitories are not the
congested cells Of the old Spanish
regime. but have been cleaned and
ventilated until there is now a free
circulation of air in each. Looking
from one end Of these buildings to the
other you can see long rows Of cots
behind sections barred off with thick
bamboo rods, and neatness and order
prevail throughout. Twelve wide win
dows line each side of each building,
and in the roofs of each there has
been built a continuous line of sue
ton ventilators.
The workshops, kitchens. lavatorieS
and hospitals have been likewise i'm
proved, each being equipped with the
most modern sanitary appliances
Bilibid. therefore, instead of being
called the House of Torture" as
named under the old Spanish rule, is
being looked upon with sort of
pride by the native Filipino as one OF
the model institutions of its kind In
the world.
It's reconstruction has, in fact, edu-
Gated the Filipinos to a considerable
degree, because while the discipline
of the American officials is strict, the
method of treating and caring for the
prisoners within its confines has done
more to demonstrate that the Ameri-
can people are a humane race than
all other means.

does not humble some salutation into
his soup. Nor do a group OF smokers
set up q chorus OF salutations when the
matches are lighted. Why, then, this
formula. this ceremonial. when people
drink?
Here IL the answer: The custom dates
back thousands OF years to the days
when hospitality was Expressed and
eternal brotherhood pledged by tho mu-
tual drinking of a goblet of wine. into
which a few drops OF blood were some
times poured. And the drinking Of this
draught was accompanied by solemn
words OF goodwill and pledges OF friend
ship.
Nowadays the old meaning has passed.
But the ceremonial words remain and
Will always remain. Similarly the silly
idea that one man grossly insults an
other by refusing to drink with him
originated IN the days when such re-
fusal meant q refusal to be on friendly
terms or TO take the drink oath OF
brotherhood.
Each drink OF old was accompanied by
Q prayer to some ancient deity. Thus
rose the old custom Of offering
''healths" and Of expressing . kindly
wish to some person present. A
Health" was onoe actually prayer for
q fellow-dr inker's hsaltf.
