HANGED.
EOng An Sing Hanged at SAN
Fran cisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, November 19.-Fong All
Sing, the Chinaman condemned for the
murder of Chinese woman more than
four years ago. was hanged at 1908 p M. to-
day. About one hour before the time set
for the execution he became very much ex-
cited and rapidly lest his self-control. As
the time for the execution grew nearer and
nearer, he finally fell on his knees before
Mr.. Ackerman. the attorney for Sheriff Hop
kins, who was present in his cell, and
begged him to save his life. II did not
commit the crime" cried he wildly, land
you must not let them hang me-"
He at last became hysterical,, crying
sionally lifting them toward heaven In
most piteOus manner. He would
not listen to advice and the comforting
words of the priest, and paid no attention
to any of his surroundings. When the time
came for him to ascend the scaffold he
managed to regain his composure and
walked steadily to the death trap. few
minutes before twelve dispatch was re-
ceived from Governor Stoneman which
read "I will not interfere" Final pre-
parations were then made aud the trap was
full length it was noticed that 1t had caught
unoer the doomed mans left arm so that
his body hung at an acute angle with It.
There were loud exclamations OF horror
and considerable excitement An attempt
to pull the body on to the platform OF the
scaffOld proved unsuccessful. F1nally
ladder was procured and the rope was
looseued. Lille was already extinct, death
having been apparently instantaneous.

THE STANDING ARMY.
A skeleton Organization Capable
of Instant Expan sion.

The stereotyped criticism against the
American army is that 1t is topheavy with
rank and that the officers have not enough
to do to keep them .ousy two hours out of
the twenty-four. This prejudice, like most
others, is founded on ignorance. The plan
of the army is that of a skeleton organiza-
ton. Although not larger than sin lie di-
vision in a European army, it could ex-
pand itself in week into vast body of half
a million men. The Government. realizing
that officers are not made in day, educates
a eat number of them, ready for duty;
and, wiser than the Governments OF Europe,
instead of burdening the taxpayers with
hundreds of thousands of private soldiers,
merely provides the officers and the organ
ization, relying upon the people to fll the
ranks ih the time of need. Three-fourths
of the private soldiers are OF foreign birth.
The native-born American has an invinci-
BILE OBJ biection to touching his cap when
ever he meets an officer, and forever wear
ing uniform that makes him an inferior
for, as in all countries where military serv-
ice is voluntary, the chances are innn-
itesimal of a private ever becoming COM
missioned officer. The practice OF officers
using the soldiers as servants for them
selves and their families, while 1t Is utterly
indeiensible, is not SO hard .due on the soldier
1t as a matter of course, and ii he is an
American he usually passes too much OF
his time in the guard house to be available
for much domestic duty.
military life are common everywhere and
und er all circumstances, but to offset 1t are
many agreeable features confined almost
exclusively to military life. In the outer
world men are usually divided into two
classes-ihose who have time and money to
cultivate the graces of society and are of
very little account for anything else, and
those who do the worlds work and are
thereby debarred from studying the hu-
manities, as the old-fashioned people say.
Army men, on the contrary, are both men
of affairs and men of society. They may be
idle without discredit, and accomplished
without being useless. The whole tone of
army society Is to elevate merit above money.
Rank Is everything. and although man
that toadies to a Major General cannot be a
very superior person, he is usually little
above the man who toadies to a millionaire.
AS regards the fancy of young women for
the military, 1t is as old as time itself. 1t
may be called a relic of barbarism dating
back from the time when warrior, was the
highest type of manhood-but old Sam
Johnson told Bozzy the philosophic reason
for it. Soldiers" said he, represent BRAY
cry. Courage is their profession" Anyhow
the average girl is happy when surrounded
by cloud of Second Lieutenants, and few
OF them. after one brief glance OF life at a
military post, will stop short of marrying a
cavalry officer and going out to Montana to
live on sedge grass and Second Lieuten-
ants pay.-Cor. Albany Argus.

MISS JEFFREYS LEWIS.
at the Grand Last
Night.


Ms Jeffreys Lewis assisted by her select
company gave Diplomacy" at the Grand
last night. The house was a good deal
larger than it had been on the previous
evening. Mr.. Wyatt gave the same careful
attention to the setting of the piece as in
the case of "Clothilde." The costuming,
too, YVES in the most rich and elaborate
style. Miss Lewis dresses are worth going
to see them, Ii there were no play to
witness
She played the role of "Zekap with all the
fire and energy of her character. Her rendi-
tion of the parts where all the passions of
the soul are called into action was grand.
She thrilled the house with tone, gesture
and expression.
Miss Foliz, as Lady Henry Fairfax" was
better suited to that role than any in which
she has heretofore appeared. Her acting
was very piquaut and charming, and she
was decidedly well dressed.
TO the role of Dora" Miss Esther Will
Jams was less fitted than in others which
she has essayed She was very well dressed
and made decided effort with the really
difficult part.
Harry Mainhall put little more force
into his Julian Beauclerc' than he usually
succeeds in rousing himself up to. The rem
Mr.. Charles Edmonds, as Henry Beau
clerc," was excellent. His quiet manner Is
quite that of the English gentleman.
Here one is sorry to be obliged alb
ruptly to close with words of ap-
proval. The rest of the cast was simply
execrable. Nearly all of the other actors
were most defective in their lines.
They 1probably do MT belong to the COM
pany, but seem to have been picked up
here. In costume, manner and delivery
they were positively bad. Johnny" Will
liams is not to blame for his failure. He is
utterly unsuited in any such part as that of
"Algie Fairfax" Give him chance in
broad comedy, and he will bring the house
down.
For the matinee East Lynne" is under
lined, and for the closing performance this
evenln ARTICLE AZ" is changed to Forget
Me Not" This is Miss Lewis favorite play
Il is most charming creation and should
see full house. In East Lynne" she has
not been seen here yet. The matinee no
doubt will be we'll attended to see this
thrilling emotional drama.

Ventura Impro vements.

The Ventura Democrat says: I'VE have 1t
on good authority that Dixie Thompson In
tends to erect 900 hotel on portion of
his place. east of town. The main object
will be to furnish pleasant accommodations
to sojourners and visitors who are certain
to flock in here to enjoy our Incompatible
climate, as soon as the railroad is complet-
ed, In this connection we are also informed
that Mr.. Thompson intends to set apart
large tract oflowlands aligning the beach, for
pleasure and hunting grounds. This will
be part of and connected with the hotel
project. A move of this kind cannot be
made too sooD, for the reason that it will not
be long when hotel accommodations in Ven
tura shall be q scarcity, unless they be soon
increased. Hundreds of people are only
awaiting the completion of the railroad to
pay our town a visit, and most OF them are
coming to stay awhile and look around our
grand valley and its magnificent surround
ings with view to locate and become resi-
dents. This is no fancy speculation: 1t Is a
truth that will soon be verified. The trouble
will be to furnish accommodations for them
when they do come"

healthful condition of the valley has been

the atmosphere of a great proportion of the

New YORK. November 19.-The trial of the
"boodleu ex-Alderman McQuade was re-
sumed to day. Ex-A1derman Fullgraf was
called as witness. The witness said an
informal meeting was held in May, 1886,
after the board had adjourned. A week after
a meeting was held in Fullgraf's factory af-
ter business hours. This was before the
Franchise bill was passed. Thirteen Alder
men were present; McQuade was one of
them. 1t was agreed that the thirteen mem.
bers present would hold together on any
question that came before the Board.
Nothing was said about the Broad
way railroad. 1t was agreed to meet
again one week later at McLaughlin's
house. The witness attended the latter
meeting. The first business was the quesI
ti0n of the Broadway franchise: 1t was
said that other companies, the cable road
and others, wanted franchises. Jaehne,
DeLacy and others spoke, stating that the
Broadway cable road company had offered
$500 for the franchise, onehalf in cash
and one half in bonds. 1t was said that the
surface road had offered $500.000 cash. The
was % considered unreliable, and the other
was considered the best. 1t was decided
to accent the offer of the Broadway
surface road by unanimous vote
It was said that the lawyers had concluded
to pay $22, 600 to each Alderman. That
amount was decided upon unanimously.
McQuade vo,ed aye. As more votes wete
necessary nit was decided unanimo usly
to cut down each mans share to $4,000.
The first vote granting the franchise was
taken on December 9th. UP to and after
that date the witness had received
$4,000. The witness asked McQuade
after December 18th if he had got
his money. McQuade replied that it was
"all right" This ended the direct examln
lowed. The audience. who had listened
with deep interest, using their hands as
trumpets, settled back in their seats to dis

GREAT Improvement i'm Methods

NEW YORK, November 19.-The CONNER
cial Bulletin says: The season has opened
for California raisins, and supplies are
coming to hand quite freely. Growers,
packers and commission men have certainly
good reason to be satisfied with the quality
of the fruit and is reception by the eastern
trade. This is really the first year for the
placing of desirable quality of goods from
that section of the country before the pub
lie. In past years the endeavor to make
progress without experience led to the plac-
ing upon the market of very inferior goods
as Compared with those of Spanish growth.
With many people California products were
regarded as unfit for market appearance,
order aud taste, being severely commented
upon, and the fruit was classed so low that
ii could not be considered in competition
with imported goods. Greater pains and
improved methods for curing have been in
troduced and the result has been the intro.
duction of a class of goods that Is serious
threat to future importations OF Spanish
fruit. The packing is done In manner
