They Are Teaching an Unweloome Les
son to Tallors in San Francisco.
The clothing manufacturers of this
city are learning the lesson which the
Chinese taught the fruit Gamers long
ago.
A gentleman whose name is well
known in society circles, and whose
hatred Of the Chinese is also well
known, called upon a Market street
tailor one Saturday night for a suit
which be had ordered early in the
week.
1T is not done yet" said tie tailor.

sewing the suit promised to have it
here, but he has not kept his word I'll

mo, I'll go for it myself Give me
the mans address"
'My dear sir, 1 would not trouble
you for all the world. I'll send the
boy"
IT tell you I will go for it myself;
you have had time enough to send
your boy. Give me the address,"
He:was given the address Of q Chinese
tailor on Clay street.
do you mean to say"-and the face
Of the society man flush red with wrath
THAT my clothes are handled by
filthy ChineseT
''My dear sir, Chinese make half the
clothes that are made in the city"
''But 1 see women at work in the
shops. Can't you find enough Of them
to do your workp
ooh, most of the women are en-
ployed for show. They attract Gus
TONERS, but they do little work. Go
around to one of these places late at
night, and if you don't find a China
man loading a wagon with cloth ready
cut for the sewers am not in the bust
ness"
''Then," said the gentleman, you
are simply commission man. / pay
you so much to have my clothes made
by Chinese 1 think l will save the
commission hereafter"
There was more truth then poetry in
the statement which the clothier made
to his customer. The Chinese clothieI
is flourishing apace. Chinese tailors
who make garments for American Gus
toners exclusively have opened three
shops on Clay street, two on CONNER
cial, one on Pacific, three on Dupont
and five on Stockton, and a contract
was given recently for the erection of q
large factory in which a Chinaman is
to employ Chinese to manufacture
clothing. A.few years ago he was max
ing clothes for a white tailor for les
than they could be made by white
man or woman. In a few months hC
win be selling clothes for less than &

claimed that small houses, the homes OF
the people, are taxed much more in pro-

point that II is thought there is proba-

only allowed Miller one minute TO get Off
the field when the rules require that the
player shall have five minutes. IL is a
very good ground for protest and the
chances are that Fridays game will be
thrown out, in which case Anson will be
only one game ahead up TO date.
