THE TILE ROOF.
A Relic Of Old Days That Has AL
most Wholly Disappeared.

The difficulty which the Board Of Suffer
Fort Trustees have experienced in securing
old-fashioned Spanish clay tiles wherewith
to restore the roof of that famous structure
shows how nearly the relics of the Spanish
regime have disappeared from our State.
Even Monterey. the last remaining strong
hold of the adobe in this part of the State,
would ha rdly have yielded the desired ma
terial but for the courtesy of Marine Malarin,
the owner Of the old Olarte building who,
when he learned why the Trustees desired
the tiles, with true Spanish generosity has
ordered the buildings demolished and the
roofing material forwarded to Suffers Fort
Money" said he to Trustee K. j. Gregory.
"could not buy these tiles from me-" but he
freely gave them for the purpose for which
they were desired.
1t seems almost incredible that few brief
years could witness the disappearance of
what was once a familiar object in Cali
fornia landscape, the cleaning roof Of red
tiles.
At the ex-Mission of San Jose. in Ala
media County, still stand the remains OF a
pretentous two-story adobe, 0ncea yeritabe
mansion and the family residence of the
late Don Jesus Vallejo, brother of the
famous General, who lived there in regal
state in the good old days. The roof of this
building Is Sllll covered WIN the quaint OLD
tiles, and is sound and weather-tight to this
day. The front of the building, however,
has been clapboarded over the adobe, which
at the sides and rear is still intact, and the
result is queer combination OF the ancient
and modern that is at once ludicrous and
pathetic.
Near the Vallejo place is another old
adobe, q winery. built nearly hundred
years age and still in good preservation.
though the tile roof long since gave way to
one of redwood shakes, and i'll sumo places
even these have been replaced by still more
modern and pretentious shingles This old
winery is the property of the Archbishop,
the only building left standing Of the
original mission property.
Further up the valley, matter Of three
or four miles, is still another of these relics
OF Spanish splendOr, the last remnant of the
adobe residence OF the famous Higuerra fam
lily, now used by an American proprietor as
part Of his extensive stable. His residence
was located at the once celebrated Aqua
Caliente, which some American vandal
after ward sought to saddle Sith the APPEL
lation Of Harrisburg. but which is now

suffrage how does it happen that so many
seek il? that California legislators pit
fourteen Illinois women against 2O,OOO Call
fornia women? The fact as regards the
Methodist Conference vote is that when
women voted on it, it was carried by a large
majority; the church vote was in favor. 1t
is the annual conferences, composed en-
tireiy of men, that are voting the women
out. Instead of women being satisfied with
their position in the church, they are con-
stantly doing what our fathers declared
impOssible-t hundred are preaching.
They do most of the tinanciering IN small
churches, teach the Bible classes, supern-
tend the Sabbath-school. There is gen.
eral foment all through the church on the
woman question.

reading Paul for themselves, and discover

When have women with real power abused
it more than men? Historians tell us that
the Queens of Europe have averaged better
than the men; in proportion to their num-
Der, they certainly average higher. "Bloody
Mary" and Catharine ii are the black sheep,
and Mary was merciful as compared with
her father, "the defender of the faith"
Catharine was about the best ruler that
Russia ever had. She knew enough to be-

CROCKER TALKS.
He Will Attend the Conference
on Traffic Matters.

President Croker Of the Southern
Pacific Company heartily indorses the ac-
ton of merchants in calling meeting for
the purpose of looking into traffic matters.
AS member of the Chamber of Commerce
he has announced his intention Of attending
the conference, and believes that great and
lasting good may result.
4" The only trouble with move OF this
kind" said lie, in an interview yesterday,
is the intrusion of professional agitators.
demugogues who have no knowledge OF
what the business community really wants.
or if they have such knowledge possess no
clear ideas as to how any desired object may
be accomplished. The bralnless babble OF
this class, as rule entirely harmless, some
times serves 10 arouse the passion and pref
udice of welI-balanced minds and incite men
of clear judgment to deeds OF rashness In
the coming meeting however, L do not think
that the professional agitator will have
very strong voice. The convention, as I'M
derstand it, will be made up OF reputable
business men, who think that the Transcon-
tinental Association is a tool for the pur-
pose of exacting from shippers eXorDltant
freight rates.
ut would be little use for me to explain
the aim and object of this association or TO
attempt to prove that this is an erroneous

The railroads will do nothing against their
interests. even oil plea from an organiza-
tion OF merchants. The petition of single
shipper las exactly the same effect as The
request of strong society banded together
by mutual interest. II the Transcontlnental
Association will not consider prayer for
reduction of rates ON Taisins from John
Smith of Fresno, it Will b. likewise deaf to
an appeal from a strong organization OF san
Francisco merchants. There is no occasion
for howl against the Southern Pacific IN
this matter. Our representative at trans
continental meetings has repeatedly
asked for lower rates on certain
California products at the instance
of our shippers and been refused by East
ern roads. We are not trying to run the
Transcontinental Association. The South
ern Pacific Company is simply party to the
contract, as any other line will be il ex-
tended 10 San Francisco"
When asked whether the Southern Pacific
would purchase the San Francisco and
North Pacific, providing the stock should be
thrown on the market by the Probate Court,
Mr.. Croker said: "We do not want the
line. While it is good property as itstands,
it would not be a valuable addition to our
system. If we wanted the road it would not
be- necessary to wait for the Probate Court"

of the farmers and workingmen Of Kansas.
The Farmers Alliance admits women on
equal terms with men, and it already in
cludes half million women in its member
ship.
Whatever Of economic heresy there may
be in its platform, all Mrs. Leases hearers
are carried away with her eloQuence. She
has an army OF Kansas women of like
spirit at her back. Tie Republican major
ity in Kansas WAS thought invnciOle, and
yet the Farmers Alliance last November
elected FIVE farmer CongreS snen out of seven,
secured the State Legislature and replaced
the worId-famed United Ststes Senator In
gals by the then almost unknown farmer,
Mr. PETER. There is no doubt that Mrs.
Lease and the women of Kansas are in
large measure responsible for the success of
tile agitation. Mrs. Lease is Il lawyer.
She soon discovered that the farmers, who
have always been the most thoroughly typi-
cal and representative element of the Amer
lean citizenship, are tired of old-time party
politics. They want a new programme of
social politics for tie people. Mrs. Leases
confidence in the Farmers Alliance as a
piece of permanent machinery may be
wholly misplaced, but it is the spirit Of
awakening and of energetic action behind
the organization that is significant. Mrs
Lease is certainly one of the most remarkable
women Of the day.

AS she neared the corner Of an alieyway she
