Barcelona, Feb. 1.--The Barcelona Dldl 10 publishes advices from Manila sayin gthat the Spaniards there prefer the independence of the Philippines to annexation by the United States, for- getting the conduct or the insurgents when compared with their hatred of the Americans.

The Am- ericans are confident with their cannon and warships and are calmly await- ing reinforcements in order to give the rebels a sharp lesson.

John Kensit, the noto— rious interrupter of'Ritualist services, interrupted the ceremonies of the con- firmation of the Bishop of Bangor in London yesterday because the bishop had appointed as examining chaplain a member of the English Church Un- ion, which favors masses and the con- fessional. Kensit’s interruption of the ceremo- nies culminated in a scene unpreceden- ted since 1847, when the opposition to the Bishop of Hampden led to the blocking of traffic in Cheapside. Ken— sit’s supporters cheered his action loudly, but the ecclesiastics proceeded with the ceremony at the conclusion of which the newly installed bishop devoutly blessed the congrega- , tion, including the Kensitlites. A large portion-of those present at. the meeting addressed by Mr. Balfour at Manchester last night hissed the speaker because of his high church sympathies. ' No Successor to 9113’}: Yet.

How That Philosopher Gave Relief to a Poverty-Stricken Couple. “I was an eye witness,” said one of a party, “of an occurrence that would have been regarded as remarkable had I not understood it. , Late one after- noon I was sitting on a bench in Mad- ison square. 011 another bench near by were a man and woman, both young. The man was thin and pale, and I gathered from such of his talk as I overheard. that he was recovering from a' long: illness, that the woman was his wife. and that they were in desperate need of money. “George Francis Train came along and sat down beside me on the bench. I know him well and told him about the. young: people and their troubles. Presently he went on his way and I saw him go into’Fa store on the south side of the square. A few minutes.I later he came back to the young cou- ple. As he passed them a shower of gold and silver coin dropped from his pocket. directly at their feet, jingling musically on the asphalt. Mr. Train walked right along, paying no heed. The young man sprang up and called Mr. Train's attention to his loss, say- ing. ‘You’ve dropped a lot of money, sir.’ ‘You’re very much mistaken, youngr man.’ Train replied, and he walked rapidly away. The young people were utterly dumbfounded. and. after they had gathered 11p the coins, seriously talk. ed of turning the money over to the police. Fearing that they would real- ly be so foolish, I went to them and advised them to keep the wealth, as the man 'who had dropped the money had a way of doing just such eccen- tric things. which he could well af- ford, as he possessed a great fortune. They left the square soon after with smiling faces. “Train undoubtedly had gone to a store, obtained a lot of coin, cut the lining of his coat pocket, holding the gap together with his hands to keep the coin within until he reached the young couple, when he let go and the coin fell at their feet. It was his way of helping them without embarrassing them with an offer of charity.”- Washington Post. Food 111111 Drink in 0110. According to tradition the discovery and 11Se of pulque in Mexico date-n from the eleventh century. l‘ulque is both a food and a. drink. and among the poor it forms a very important addition to the frijolc-s. and chile, making up their limited fare. In employing a Mexican servant, :1 few cents a day for th- purclizlsc of pilque is generally allowv cal by the mis‘tress of the house. A Mexican can do with little clothiu: 11nd scanty fare, but life is atln‘rst- pauged desert if the usual allowanctI of pulquc is interfered with. sesses large medicinal properties, act- ing in a beneficial way upon the digestion, blood, nerves and system finally dulls the intellect and makes one drowsy and stupid.
