PICTURE OP CHINESE LIFE.
One carss of the hoodlum is the Chinese. The
latter has been talked about somewhat at the East
He was introduced by Bret lIarte and since then he
has appeared in various carcatures before the foot
lights. The genuine Chinese. however. is scarcely
known in this country outside of California. II he
were there might be less nonsense expended on
| mvlbical being. whom the phi'anthropists clam
possesses all the virtues and reads Conuclus every
morning before breakfast. The Chinaman is so

OTHER TYPES OF STREET rlTF.
Here arc a few other local types.
There is the political worhingman who never
works except at ward-meotings, and who pol
,rtes tie air about the saud-lot with his
sunday afternoon blasphemy. Akin to him Is
tbe tramp who finds this city para
disc for loahns as food is plentiful aud the winds
or, fe,nuer,d to tho homeless yagrant. Then there
j. the honest milcr-an almost extinct spccles-who
l. down To the Bay for fr0lic. and who takes 1t
lie a sailor fresh from month, cruise. rarely
do Won catch glimpse of The old-lune MINER with

b,ot-tops He passed away when the first glory OF

are men OF culture the majority are ignorant, and

Tod fine habits and tastes Of the larger class. The
