WHAT HIS RTTAHOED THEM
“Sacerdotal Despotism and Official
Rapacity”—Enormous Natural
Wealth.
By Associated Press.
New York, Dec. 13 —The American Bible
Society has received a special report from
the Rev. John R. Hykes, whom it directed
in September last to proceed from Shang
hai, China, to Manila and investigate con-'
corning the Philippine islands as a field
for Bible work. He reports concerning the
islands, the iptople, bhe views of Admiral
Dewey and American officers. The first
parV of the report is devoted to describing
the racial and tribal characteristics of the
inhabitants and to a statement of the di
versity of the languages spoken in the is
lands. Further on Mr. Hykes says: "Not
more than one-third of the arable land in
the valleys of Luzon has been brought un
der cultivation. The mountains are rich
in the most valuable timber to be found
anywhere in the world. While some of the
valleys have been denuded of the forests
Spanish official obstruction has effectually
spared the valuable trees in the interior.
It is not a had thing that it required about
two yeans’ effort, and a large fee in order
to get a license to fell a single tree and a
htavy duty before it could be exported.
The climate is a continual summer and
it is not unhcalthful for Europeans. The
cold or dry season is from November to
February inclusive: the hot season from
March to June and the wet season from
July to October. The average temperature
for the year is about 81 degrees fahren
heit. The most common diseases among
Europt ans are malarial fever, diarrhoea
and dysentery.”
Mr. Hykes devotes some space to a re
cital of instances of what he terms "sa
cr< dotal despotism and official rapacity,”
under the (Spanish regime, and says re
garding the former:
”1 am sure that the Roman Catholics of
the United States would be as much
shocked as anybody at this immorality of
the Friars. I am aware that this is not
Roman Catholism as it is to be found
in England and the United States today
and it. is necessary that this should be em
phasized in order to comprehend the reli
gious condition of the people and to ade
quately realize their spiritual needs.
"It is astonishing that a lower standard
•jf morals does not exist among the people
when we consider the character of their
spiritual teachers. It is generally con
ceded .that the Filipino priests are vastly
more moral than the Spanish Friars and it
is perhaps this fact and 'their Inherent
superstitions that has prevented the people
from abandoning all religion. With the
native religion is a mere form and not a
spiritual life. The symbols of the faith
and the observance of religious rites are
about all he knows of religion. The Friars
have long been losing their hold upon the
people. They cannot much longer be held
in mental and spiritual thralldom."
In concluding his report'Mr. Hykes says:
“General Otis, the military and civil gov
ernor. said there can be no doubt of the
great need of our work. The Spanish
priests are thoroughly hated by the Fili
pinos and their hold upon the people is
gone.
He would welcome the American Bible
Society and any other missionary organ
ization and he would have much pleasure
in giving u<s aiv’ help in his power. He
thought that our ork would probably be
discouraging at the start but there could
be no difference of opinion as to this being
the churches greatest opportunity in the
Phillippines.
Admiral Dewey received 'them , most?
cordially and spoke very freely and en
thusiastically about opening missionary
work. He said he was anxious for the
church and that Bible society to come in
and begin work at once. We could not
come too soon."
A Narrow Escape.
t Thankful words written by Mrs. Ada E.
Hart, of Groton, S. D., "Was taken with a
bad cold which settled on mylungs; cough
set in and finally terminated in consump
tion. Four doctors gave me up, saying I
could live but a short lime. I gave myself
up to my savior, if T could
not stay with my friends on earth I would
meet my absent ones above. My husband
was advised to get Dr. King’s New Dis
covery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds.
I gave it a trial; took in all eight bottles.
It has cured me and thank God I am
saved and am now a well and healthy
woman." Trial bottles free at H. J. La

Hot Springs. Ark.. Dec. 13—Hardy Sheer

HENRY IRVING.
He Will Not Retire From the Stage as JR4-
ported.
By Associated Press.
New York. (Dec. 13. —Henry Irving has
just sent a cable dispatch to William Win
ter denying all statements as to his al
leged retirement from the stage. His dis
patch is as follows: "Absolutely ground
less. Have been ill, but. am quite recov
ered, and hope to see you soon.”
WEATHER AND COTTON.
Great Damage Done by the Element Dur
ing the Past Six Days.
Memphis, Tenn., Dec. 13.—-Cotton plan
ters have suffered a severe and heavy loss
on account of recent rain and snowstorms.
The damage has been io cotton in the
field, of course, and ip absolutely definite
idea of the loss inthis way can be formed,
except by the planters themselves. An
unprecedented bad fall, in regard to the
character of the weather, is the history of
the season from about the Ist of Septem
ber up to the present time. Recurring
rains, windstorms and finally snow, have
dealt a blow to the cotton raiser. The fact
that his year the producer of the fleecy
staple is further behind than ever before
in the gatherin gos his crop tends to ag
gravate the damaging circumstances.
There is a great amount of cotton in the
field yet and the snowstorm of a few days
ago resulted in the serious damage to the
cotton yet in the bools. Much of it has
fallen out and a great deal had fallen out
prior to the snow. J. F. Frank, one of the
largest planters of cotton living in Mem
phis. was asked yesterday to estimate the
damage to the cotton crop resulteing from
the bad weather of this fall.
"It is fully fifty per cent,” he said, "No
one can form an accurate idea of the loss
planters have sustained without being on
the ground to see the conditions. My son
Charles Frank, who is >on my plantation
at Bledsoe, Ark., and Mr. Cartwright, the
manager, who has been there for eighteen
years, say that not in their memory have
such conditions retarding the gathering
of the crop existed in the south. There
has not been a whole week since Septem
ber 1 that the hands could put in. solid
in picking. Many weeks only two days
have been given to picking. Half of the
cotton crop. I believe, is still in the field,
and there is cotton that has never been
touched yet. I know this to be a fact.
The bolls are badly rotted and by the in
cessant bad weather the lint has been
damaged in the boll. Both my son and
manager have written me that the cotton
crop now being gathered is like the cotton
picked in March. The weather has been
of such a character that pickers have been
unable to get into the fields. On land
where three-quarters of a bale to the acre
was produced over a quarter of a bale is
now in the fields. This explains the sit
uation with the farmrs."
A traveling man for a well known Mem
phis firm made the statement several days
ago that between three and five hundred
negro cotton pickers had deserted the cot
ton fields in the Osceola district and had
returned to their homes in and about
Cairo. They were simply disgusted with
'he weather and left on that account.
Cotton factors asked about the matter
said that the loss to the planters with
cotton in the fields was considerable.

Two Pointed Questions Answered.
What is the qse of making a better ar
ticale than your competitor if you can- I
not get a beter price for it?
Ans. —As there is no difference in the I
price the public will buy only the better, '
so that while our profits may be smaller I
on a single sale they will be much larger .
in the aggregate.
How can. you get the public to know I
that your make is the best?
If both articles are brought prominently
before the public both are certain to be
tried and the public will very quickly
pass judgment on them and use only the
better one.
This explains the large sale on Cham
berlain’s Cough Remedy. The people have
been using it for years and have found I
that it can always be depended upon. They !
may occasionally take up with some sash- i
ionable novelty put forth with exagger- i
ated claims, but are certain to return to '
the one reemdy that they know to be re- i
liable, and for coughs, colds and croup j
there is nothing equal to Chamberlain’s |
