NEW WAY TO GET DRINK.

Bartender Again.

But 1t VIII Not Work on This Particular
Bartender Again.
An elegantly attired stranger walked into
a Woodward-avenue saloon and asked leave
to use the telephone, says the Detroit
Tribune.
Certainly" said the polite bartender.
The visitor walked to the phone, rang the
bell, and, probably without waiting for an
answer, gave a number
as that Mr.. BIS residence?" asked he,
giving the name of very prominent and
wealthy citizen of Detroit.
SIS Mr. B. there?
swell, when he comes will you please tell
him that l can't come up to dinner tonight.
This is Mr.. HendricksUn.
Eyes, Mr.. Oliver Hendrickson.
Il nm sorry, too, but business engage
ment makes it impossible. l will Call to-
morrow. Good-by."
He stepped away from the instrument,
thanked the bartender. and said:
"Give me gin fiZZ, please"
He swallowed the drink, ordered an i'm
ported cigar, lit it, and then discovered that
he had no change. Looked embarrassed and
then gave his name again. "Mr. Oliver
Hendrickson, Pll be in tomorrow an fix
it," he said.
The bar-keeper didn't kick tall; the tele-
phone conversation had fixed It," The
drnk-mixer doesn't remember the telephone
number that the fellow used, but he is
sure it wasn't the number of the prominen
citizens Call.

In a recent issue of the Standard, pub
lished in Eureka, Humboldt County, ap-
pears the following: This morning the
steamer Los Angeles arrived, bringing
ffty-fye cabin passengers and fifteen in the
steerage, one of whom is a live Chinaman.
Shortly after the steamer landed John
came ashore and wandered into black
smith-shop on the corner of Fourth and ID
streets, where he was soon surrounded by a
curious crowd of people. who let the almond
eyed Celestial know that no Cinnamon were
allowed in Eureka. The poor fellow was
frightened, but made his Questioners under
stand that he came up here by mistake and
that he would return by the steamer. Mr.
Albert Backman, who was a passenger on
the steamer, says that the crew and passen-
gers had no end Of fun with the Chinaman,
who was told they would hang him if he
landed in Eureka. 1t appears that John
wished to take the steamer Eureka for Los
Angeles, but by mistake asked tor and took
the steamer Los Angeles for Eureka. John
will not stay long in Humboldt. The climate
will not agree with his health.

OPPOSED TO A CERTAIN CLASS.
Il. j. Ostrander introduced a resolution
placing the convention on record as being
opposed to the solicitation of "a certain
class of European immigrants" A long de-
bate grew out of the ambiguity Of this
phraseOlogy, some delegates urging that the
country should he open to ALL aud others
arguing that the unOecupied portions OF the
country shOnld be reserved for the citizens
of the United States and their children.
The resolution was referred to the Stand
ing Committee, as was also another, intro
duced by w. L. Merry, approving the
construction Of the Nicaragua Canal under
such conservative conditions as will secure
its control TO the Government Of the United
States"
In answer to n request from degate, Ii.
p. Hammond on behalf Of the projectors Of
the convention, explained that It's object
was to effect a permanent organization, 10
secure desirable legislative enactments, to
promulg gate scheme for CaifOrnla's ad-
vanCement and to give proper recognition
to tile question of transportation.
EXPENSIVE TRANSPORTATION.
n. c. Carnall supplemented these remarks
by suggesting that as transportation TO Cali
fornla is now so expensive. the first thing
TO be done would be to reduce this cost. and
then it would be time enough to discrimi-
nate regarding immigrants. He advocated
the raising Of 100000 for the annual sub
sidy Of Eastern papers, and, returning to
the question of transportation. stated that
it cost the wheat farmers of California one
sixth of their crop TO bring their gfan to
San francisco, and that then it is 1900 miles
from its destination. He suggests the es-
adjustment Of a line of steamers connecting
San Francisco with the Atchisou, Topeka
and Santa Fe Railway in the southern por-
tiOn of the State.
The convention will meet again this morn
ing at 10 o'clock in the Chamber OF COM

Boot and Shoe Trade.

Following is the view of markets in this
line as gwen in the Boston HerdidS trade COL
umn:
ket previously noted still prevails. Manu-
facturers have not made successful fall
season in hardly any class OF goods, though
trade has been Detterof late than early in
the season. But the orders in duplicate on
fall goods are not very satisfactory. and not
mp to expectations. Such being the case,
many of the leading manufacturers are run
ming out the last of their orders on fall
goods, and are preparing to soon take stock
and get ready to commence on spring goods.
1t is rather early for such n commencement,
it is true, but there is the alternative of
shutting down the factories for season. or
BEGINNING on, spring goods rather earlier
than is desirable.
Some of the leading manufacturers have
already considerable orders for spring goods
on hand or in sight. Besides the snles of
samples are reported to be larger than usual
in these spring goods, up to the present time,
and this gives manufacturers the courage to
begin early on spring goods. They reason
that if the samples are reasonable heard
trade. Financially they are in better condi-
ton than n year ago. A number of prominent
concerns that are accused of making goods
at ruinous prices have failed and the field is
now clear for the more careful and conserva-
tive houses. 1t is reasoned that competition
cannot possibly be as bad for the careful
boot and shoe manufacturer this year as t
was last while the chances for business are
believed to be better. On the whole, the out
look is hopeful, and not without good rea-
sons. The condition of the country has never
been better, and it is only some element in-
herent in the business itself that can con-
spire to hinder good boot and shoe trade
the coming season.
