FILIPINOS ARE

Taste For Books.
MEN FOLLOW THE FASHIONS
While the Women. Unlike Their Amer

About the Latest Styles in Mil
linery and Dress.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 3.
(Special)—“The Fillipinos are edu
cation mad,” says Miss Bessie A.
Dwyer, assistant librarian of the Amer
ican Library at Manila, in speaking
of her four year’s experience in our
island possessions in the Pacific.
“No sacrifice is too big for parents
to make so that there child 'en may
derive the benefits of education, and
no amusement is engrossing enough
to distract young people from their
books.”
Miss Dwyer has made two trips to
the islands, the first as a law clerk in
the forestry division at Manila, and
the second to fill the position she
now holds, which was given her in
recognition of ability displayed dur
ing her connection with the Library
of Congress for more than ten years.
In her opinion the islands have
progi'essed wonderfully in every way
possible.
Contains About 26,001) Books.
The library at Manila, of which
Mrs. Harry Egbert is the founder and
the librarian, consists of about 26,-
000 books, 40 per cent of which are
fiction. Fifteen thousand of these
are on open shelf, while 11,000 circu
late among army and navy posts in
the islands. The library is growing
steadily under the hard work of its
force, and now is welll regulated and
controls a fine assortment of month
ly publications of every country, the
library spending S3OO a year for this
purpose.
From 9 o'clock in the morning un
til 10 o’clock at night the reading
room is crowded and the books are
constantly in demand. A nominal
charge is made, which is applied to
the purchase of books. The library is
maintained by the insular govern
ment. It began with 1,000 volumes,
the gift of Mrs. Egbert.
“Living in Manila 4s cheaper than
in America,” said Miss Dwyer. “This
is due to there being no duty upon
goods imported from Europe. The
shops are extremely up to date, con
taining the latest Parisan novelties.
The small shops are controlled by
native women or Chinamen.
“The native women are the men of
the Philippines,” further said Miss
Dwyer. “It is to them that the coun
try .owes any success or progress;
they look after the business; they
are better developed in every sense
of the word, physically and mentally
and the men are only interested in
politics and gossip.”
Men Follow' Fashions Closely.
The young men, according to Miss
Dwyer, are extremely punctilious
about fashions, from the cut of clothes
to the manner of wearing hat or tie
in accordance to the latest styles. The
women, even the younger ones, are
not, so particular.
Miss Dwyer spoke of the social side
of Manila and its cosmopolitan at
mosphere, saying that there are en
tertainments every day, and a large
number of fine clubs of every nation
ality. Os these one of the finest is
the “Columbia,” established by Bish
op Brent. The Elks have a large
membership and a line building.
MR BEARD TO CARRY
THE BODY TO TEXAS
Leaves for San Antonio With
R. J. Zeber’s Remains.
Undertaker Homer Beard of the
A. W. Smith Furniture Co., left this
morning for San Antonio in charge
of the remains of R. J. Zeber, the
traveling man killed last Sunddty in
the freight train wreck on the Sea
board Railway. The body has since
been lying in the undertaker’s par
lors here awaiting instructions from
Mrs. Williams, of San Antonio, the
aunt of the deceased. The Seaboard
Railway Co., while in nowise liable
for the death of Mr. Zeber, who had
concealed himself upon a freight
train contrary to law and rules of
the company, proposed sending the
body to Texas at its own expense, in
case the relatives of the dead man
did not pay the bill, rather than have
him buried here in a pauper grave.
But relatives will defray the cost, and
the body has gone forward ere this,
reaching San Antonio tomorrow af
ternoon. Upon the return trip Mr.
Beard wil stop at Dallas to visit his
mother, whom he has not seen in a
long while.
