CHURCHES OF THE PHILIPPINES.
The Cathedral of Manila Cost 51,000,000
—Twelve Years in Building.
Church conditions among the people
of the Philippine Islands are not ideal.
Spain, which 'demoralizes everything
she touches, has used the Roman Cath-
olic church there for political ends, and
many priests are notoriously far from
what they ought to be as spiritual ad-
visers, and also as men. By the law of
the islands everybody is Roman Catho-
lic. No other church services of any
kind are allowed. There are church
buildings in every town, and the church
buildings are the finest in the town as
a rule. The Roman Catholic cathedral
is the finest edifice in the city of Ma-
nila. It is under the care of the Jesu-
its, as are many of the churches on the
It was twelve years in build-
ing and cost $1,000,000. The very finest
and hardest woods in the Philippines
were used for the finishing, and the
structure is of a blush tint marble.
There are exquisite carvings, some of
which have recently been made.
The education of the young on the
islands is in the care 'of the Roman
Catholic church authorities. There are
no endowed schools and'no hospitals.
The children go to school only one hour
per day for two days each week, and
study almost nothing save church his-
tory and a few verbs. Wm.
All news published is censored by the
Archbishop of Luzon. This island gets
its' name, by the way, from “losong,”
a wood mortar kept by the Indians juSt
outsidetheir doors, in which they daily
wash their rice before cooking it. The
only newspaper in the Philippines is
printed in Spanish and everything in it
has been approved by the archbishop.
All marriages have to be' celebrated
by the priests. Some time ago a mar-
riage was performed between British
subjects iii the British legation, and
so much trouble came from it that a
battle well nigh ensued. The men who
are best off in the world are the priests.
A reason forethis is the fact that car.
goes in the harbor may not be unload-
ed on feast days except by permission
from the priests, which permission has
to be paid for. As feast days are rath-
er more numerous than thoSe that are
not feast days, the fees are given as a
regular thing an'dv'the church greatly
enriched. No music is permitted in the
houSes of the people after 10 o’clock at
night unless by special permission from
the priests, and this permission has
also to be paid for.
The great institution of Manila is the
lottery. This is drawn monthly,_ the
prizes ranging from $5 to $80,000. It is
managed by the public officials and by
the archbishop, and $200,000 each month
is collected ‘for the state and the
church. It is from this lottery that
Spain and the Roman Catholic church
in the Philippines derive much of their
enormous revenues.
Wages of farm male laborers are
about five cents per day, and each
man is required to pay an annual tax
of from $1.50 to $25. Mush of this tax
goes to the church, since it is the
‘church officials who c‘tllect it all. The
archbishop forbids the sale of farm
products, but requixes them to be sim—
ply exchanged. There is a tax for the
benefit of the church on cocoanut trees,
on-animals .When killed for feed, on
sheps, mills and oil presses, and a par-
ticularly high tax on cock fights, which
are the national pastimes of the peo-
ple. Incidentally it may be explained
‘that the .word Cavite means fish hook.

"Bornadou's Interest in‘ the Little Boat
Because Ho‘fii‘as Her Sponsor.
Lieutenant John BuBernadou, who
was in command of the Winslow in the
fight at Cardenas, has been officially
commended several times for meritori-
ous work in the naval service, and on
each sleeve of his uniform he wears a
star of the insignia of bravery. He
knows the Winslow well. fer he super-
intended her building from the day her
keel was laid till she Steamed out of
the dock at Baltimore, Md. When the
government accepted the boat he was
placed in command.
BERNA DOU.
JOHN B.
One of the incidents of the career of
the dashing young hero was his trip
with the Winslow to join the squadron
at Key ‘Wesl; in February last. The
boat had scarcely lost sight of New-
port when. it ran into the teeth of one
of the most terrific gales experienced
for years. The torpedo boats are not
good sea boats, and the Winslow was
just out of the builders’ hands and
without having been thoroughly tested.
The navy depai tmer‘ t was in the great-
est appxehension for her safe:_, 11' hen
she turned up at Delaware Breakwa-
ter.
It appeared that in the height of the
gale, When the ablest seamanship was
required to keep the little torpedo boat
above the u ate1, Lieutenant Bernadou
had discovered two poor fellows adrift
on one of the big garbage scows blown
away from New York, without food or
water. Regardless of the'grea‘t risk
to himself and his little boat, by admit
handling of the craft he managed to
rescue the men and bring them to the
Breakwater. .

fancy, tight-fitting basque bodices, with '
small revers, 0r Ezons with or without
elongated scarf-fronts, will next sea-
son be permissible on all sorts of out—
of-door costumes, aswell as many in-
door toilets. These, notwithstanding
their extended vogue, remain among
the essentially picturesque fashions
which can be elaborated upon by those
who like fanciful effects, or they can
easily be modified to suit the taste of
the most simple dressers. The easy
neglige order of things is still to be
carried to a. considerable extent this
summer, reaching even to the gowns
of ceremony. But trimness and ex-
treme neatness go hand in hand with
this approved style. . There are soft
surplice folds, but most carefully drap-
ed or drooped. There are ribbon garni-
tures, but time is taken to arrange
each 100p, choux, and falling end. The
shirt-waist is taut on the figure, and
where you find the fidwing lines and
the easy grace of the so-termed “neg-
lig‘e" toilet, there also you will find
traces of the tailor’s work, or the sym-
metrical. finished workmanship of the
artistic dressmaker.

The toque and the turban are set be-
side the sailor and EngliSh walking
hats as claimants for fashionable favor
this season. The little French toque is
a greater favorite than the turban be-
cause it is becoming to more faces than
the latter hat, and also because it ad-
mite of so very many more ways of
trimming It appears to be the very
young or very old who can best Wear
bonnets in these days. granting with
the former a profusion of wavy hair
above the forehead, and a very simple
but exceedingly Frenchy bonnet to
crown this aureole. Middle-aged wom-
en still continue for general wear to
select toques and certain shaped round
hats of plain style and fair-sized brim
in lieu of the so- -called “bonnet, ” which
is really no bonnet at all. These neat,
smartly trimmed hats as a rule prove
very becoming, and often the softening
effect- (if the veil worn' with them is
much of an aid to the appearance.
Judgment, however, must always be
exercised in the choice of a hat for an
elderly lady—its color, contour, and
decoration. Eccentricities which might
admirably become sweet sixteen would
and do frequently render sombre 'sixty
ridiculous. The toque is a very satis-

who have to toil for a mere apology of Coffee
a. living—and then there are others. .
One of these latter is Mr. Luce of Car-
go Muchacho. Luce‘s experience reads
like a romance. For twenty years _he
had knocked about the coast, on the
desert, in the mountains, prospecting
and mining, and had finally, by hard
work and the closest economy managed
to scrape together a few hundred dol-
lars.
One day on- the shores of the Colo-
rado, some twenty miles north of Yu-
ma, he met an old Mexican who told
him of a deserted mine some ten miles
back from the river and seven miles
north of Hedges. Lu‘ce’s interest was
aroused, and he visited that'mine, to
find there an abandoned twenty-stamp
mill which had pounded away. for
many years and finally shut down. He
then learned the story. The mill was '
on leaned ground. The lessee had mined
the property on shares and had done
fairly well,‘ although the ore was not
entirely free milling. One day‘ the
vein “pinched out.” The mining man
was sure he had simply lost the lead,
and that it was there all right, but the
l
owners refused to put up a cent to help.
him find it again, and, tired of living
on the desert, he threw up the whole
business and left.
Luce examined the property and dis-
cOVered that there was a small moun-
tain of tailings, the accumulation of
years, piled up behind the mill. He
tested these tallings with cyanide.
Then he measured the pile roughly and
estimated there was over 100, 000 tons
of the stuff there. That night he wrote
to the president Of the company in New
York city, offering them 10 cents per
ton for thetailings ona basis of 100,000
tons. The president read the letter,
looked surprised, and called the direc-.
tors together. They read the letter,
looked wise, tapped their foreheads sig-
nificantly, and laughed to each other;
“This poor fellow Luce should be
called ‘goose,’ " said one. " '
“Desert‘s proved too much for him—-
probably gone daft," observed another.
Notione of them thought those tail-
ings were worth anything, and they
had almost entirely forgotten that old
mine out on the Colorado desert. But
they answered the letter, telling Luce
to go ahead.
This Was in April of last year. ‘On
receipt of the letter, Luce immediately
erected a cyanide plant costing him
about $100 of his own and his friends’
money. Then he hired fifteen Mexicans
and. Indians and began work on those
tailings. The other day some represen-
tatives of the mine company Were re-
turning from San Francisco, and, pass—
ing through the desert, thought they
would Visit the .mine. ,
“Are are you?" said Luce. "Glad to
see you. By the way, we might as well
fix "up our little account now as at any
time," .and so saying he threw the asd'r
tonished Gothamltes a. check for $10,000.
Then he explained that in the nine
months he- had been running the cyanic
plant he had cleaned up $45, 000 and that
there was plenty of tailing in Sight to
net him $200,000 within. three years. —

IN OLD VlRGINA DAYS.
The Courtesy and Discipline Maintained
by a" Majordomo.
In an bid history of Chief Justice
Marshall there is an anecdote which
gives a. significant hint of the discipline
to which young people were subject in
that earlier day. '
" Several of the great insists nieces
were in the habit of visiting him, and
as they Were young and attractive, the
house became. a rendezvous for the
leading. young men of the city during
the afternocns. Judge Marshall’s black
majordomo, ol’d Uncle Joseph, helda
tight reign upon them: visitors Every
day at 4 o ’clock he would appear at the
door of the drawing room in spotless
livery and with a profound bow would
announce.
“Ladies, his honor, the Chief Justice,
has retired to his room to prepare for
dinner. ”
“Gentlemen, dinner will be served at
half-past 4 o'clock. It is now 4. His
honor would be pleased if you will re-
main, and covers have been laid for you
at the table. If you cannot remain, will
you permit the young ladies [to retire
to prepare for the meal?”
The gentlemen; usually took their
leave, and the 'ladies retired in an ill
humor; but any remonstrances with
Joseph was only answered by: “It is
the rule of the house. Young folks must
be kept within bounds."
In Virginia houses of the better class,
notwithstanding their almost boundless
hospitality, the calls of young men in
that day were strictly held within lim-
it. No one was received as a visitor to
a girl unless his antecedents and char-
acter were well known to her parents.
If his visit was prolonged until after
10 o'clock, the invitation to family
prayers was given. If he seemed likely
to become an habitue of the house, and ,
so to engage the thoughts, and perhaps
in time the affection, of the young girl
who was its chief treasure, her father
quietly asked the purport of his vis-
its, and, if he had none other than his
amusement, courteously requested him
to discontinue his call. —Youth’s Com-
