TIKI PRESIDENTS QUEER CALLERS
A Little Girl aud crippled Boy Pleading
for Places,

WAsurNGroN, oct. 3.--Thc last two
persons to walk up to the president az ne
was about closing his reception in the
east room yesterday afternoon, at when
over hundred paid their respects, were
a small girl, plainly dressed, apparently
sixteen years OF age, and crippled boy.
They were acquainted with each other.
The girl, who had spoken to the presi-
dent at one of the receptions last week,
in hesitating way said she wanted a
situation OF some kind and preferred a
place in the patent office.
'You should see the head OF that de-
partment,r said the president.
81 have been all through that part, re-
piled the girl, "but could not get place,
and now come to see you. need work
very much, - she said, In an appealing way,
She had some papers in her hand which
she asked the president to read. They
were Endorsements OF her character from
| those who knew her. The president Mt
first acted as if he was annoyed by the
girls persistence, but yielded aud said to
/ her:
"Comc 20 see me tomorrow, and III
try and do something for you.'
| Then turning TO the doorkeepcr he
said: 'When this young lady calls to-
morrow let her come up to my office"
The little humpbacked cripple next
stepped up, evidently encouraged by the
treatment the girl received.
"NIr President" he said, looking mp,
al wanta Job Can you do something
for mcl"
The president replied That he did not
think he had any job for the cripple; that
he was sorry, but really could not help it,
"Don't make up your mind too quick, "
said the cripple, as he shook the hand OF
the president, "I'll call again some
time Try and see if you can't find
something for me-"
As he passed out Of the east room to
allow the president n chance to take his
luncn, some OF the lookers-on made
up their minds that the president would
look up places for both OF them.

SAN FRANCISCo, CAL, Oct. 7.-The
Sandlot element once headed by Dennis
Keaney has found far more dangerous
leader in DR.. c. O'Donnell, the present
coroner. DR.. O'Donncll is wealthy. He
has adopted the anti-Chinese WaI-cry, and
holds meetings on the sandlot every Sun
day afternoon Recently he announced
himself rs candidate for governor, and
started the Anti-Coolle Dynamite.
The people are becoming seriously
alarmed, The massacre of Chinese in
Wyoming and Washington territories was
applauded by O'Dcnnell, who is now
earnestly urging the people to rise and
drive the Mongolians from the state,
boldly advising use OF dynamite If nee
essary Already several fires have been
directly attributed to his advice by the
confession of incendiaries. His haranguo
at the sandlot to-day was extremely VIC
lent, and it was received with applause.
1t is predicted that serious riot or con
tlagration in the Chinese quarter is liable
to occur at any time as the result of his
incendlary speeches.
