MORAL MANILA,

Since Great Britain abandoned State lotteries about a century ago we have all been compelled to do penance for our lapse from virtue; we have heaped sack cloth and ashes on our heads and declared that lotteries will not be permitted to exist on British soil. That does not apply of course to bisliops and clergy who can hold raffles and lotteries in the name of bazaars to their heart's content, but we speak of the ordinary everyday class of people. Now, while nobody will declare that he believes in lotteries or even patronises

They communicated to Captain' But chart what they had seen, and what had led to their suspicions, and begged the mas ler to save them and their valuables from the claws of the pirates, Captain Butchan re-assured them, felling them they had nothing to leat and that they could rely upon him, hit officers and crew that they would reach their destination unharmed.

The allack must be pipped in the bud or they would all be overwhelmed.
