A CURE FOR LEPRosY.
KING AND COUN2ESS.
Peculiar Coincidence Met With on
Palace Hotel slim.

Peculiar Coincidence Met With on a
Palace Hotel Slip.
AT the Palace Hotel the clerks have long
had tie habit of twice using the slips con-
tanning the names Of guests. Every time a
guest registers his name is written neatly on
small slip about two inches long and three
quarters of an inch wide. and then stuck up
in slot where it may be easily read. The
custom of the clerks has been instead of
throwing these cardboard slips away 10 pre-
serve them in box after CUE st leaves, and
write the names of later arrivals on the other
side as they Come. Clerk Warren has often
taken these slips after they have been twice
used and compared the names on both sides
When the Marquis of Lome was here his
slip was afterward used and on the reverse
side was found the name of a shoe dealer.
On the reverse side OF General William
Ieoumseh Sherman's slip was found the
name OF a visiting Episcopal clergyman. On
the same slip containing the name of Mon
slgnor Capel was found that of prominent
leader Of society, whose beauty is not un-
known in Washington. On the opposite
side OF that bearing the autograph Of the
Marquis OF Queensberry appeared the sigma
ture OF drummer for boxing glove house.
In this way many strange coiuc licences
have been met by the clerk in afterward ey-
aiming the slips, the names of titled
foreigners being often associated with that
OF obscure plebeians. One of the strangest of
these conditions was that which happened
yesterday.
On the arrival of his Majesty King Kala-
kaua, his name had to go through the usual
iormaiity OF appearing on a slip. Clerk
warren dlged his hand down in the Slip
box and wrote in his grandest style the name
OF the swarthy guest. The slip was placed
IN a Slot as usual. One Of the clerks in an
idle moment thought he would look at the
other side of the Slip. On doing so he found
written the name of the Countess of Kill
tore, who visited San Francisco some time
ago on her way from Australia to England.
The clerks state that this is one of the few
cases where there was no incongruiIy be-
tween the names on both sides OF the slip
there being that OF King on one side and
lazy, with coronet on the other. The
slip viii be preserved.

FIELD OF LABOR.
Rattan Workers Fighting For.
eign.Made Ware.

The Rattan-workers' Protective Union is
turning its whole energy now to the protec-
ton of home industry. This trade has al
ways had in this city diScouraging battle
with cheap foreign ware, and in exactly the
same manner that the cigar makers COM
menced their crusade against Chinese and
tenement-made cigars four or five years ago
their union is making war against the cheap
imported ware.
1t is admitted by those who have occasion
10 use rattanware that the homemade arti-
Gle is much superior to the other, but this
fact cannot alone uproot a difficulty that is
Of such long standing. There is hardly a
firm in the city that has not always used the
foreign article to large extent, almost
with thinking that there is home supply,
and this condition of things the union is
now obliged TO confront.
The members are canyassing the entire
field thoroughly, in fact have finished large
portion of it already, aud have met with
splendid encouragement. at last night S
meeting IL was reported that tie indorSe-
ment of the Retail GrocerS' Association had
been assured them, likewise the ind0rse-
ment OF the retail liquor dealers, the Wine
growers Protective Association and the
Federated Trades.
The union adopted seal last night, which
is a circular piece of tin. about the size of
a half dollar bearing the stamped words,
'CalifnTnia while labor demljohn"; and
actively concerned IN this movement are the
glass-biowers, who propose 10 Cooperate in

Whether her husband realizes the latter

sem-suspici0n and said: No, it is no kind

She held the little vial in her own hand to

in which rose oil was represented. "You
