A bashful maiden who lives on Clifford
street is "keeping company" with
young artist, and during these bright,
September days she accompanies her lover
TO picturesque spots, wh.re " snap shots
are taken OF the changing foliage, etc.
But yesterday, a rival artist found them
by chance in "a qniet nook at Roger Will
liams Park, and he got "snap shot" that
would make the bashful maiden turn
pale. The rival artist is now 'develop-
ing" the sketch. and he expects IL will be
so natural Co life that it will plainly ex-
pose some OF the sweet kisses that were
rained upon the bashful maden's face by
her ardent but indiscrcet lover.
The gas company and the coal dealers
OF Providence hail with delight the
advent OF long evenings aud cool
weather, but the man who has
four daughters just budding into

parlor stove. s
In a little Connecticut town today the
body of DR.. L. Thatcher Graves was laid
away TO rest until that great day
when the last trump shall sound.
A little new made mound marks his last
resting, place. His faithful wife and her
friends the Macons, gathered around the
open grave and mingled their tears to-
gether over the one whose life ended so
mysteriously and who in life had stood
charged and convic ed Of crsme
that the great world says was never
proven against him. Whether he was
guilty or not is rs open a question as
whether he took his own life or
whether he died from natural
causes. As have never believed
him guilty of murder, so l see no reason
TO believe that he took his own life. The
mysteries are now hidden in the recesses
OF the grave. and Providence has said
goodbye to one Of her greatest sen
sations.
"Our Chinese citizens will not be dis
turbed by the Geary act" said we'll
known lawyer TO me yesterday. "at least
not for many, many months, AMI prob
ably they never will be. Matters relating
TO the Geary law are. more C implicated
than ever Monday Judges McKen-
va and Morrow, in the United States
circuit court in San Francisco, rendered
decision in the case of Jim Lee and three
other Chinese, for whose arrest warrants
were asked. The court recited that the
United States district attorney had con-
ceded the right OF judges TO issue such
warrants on the complaint of citizens.
II was ordered that warrants be issued.
as prayed, and that each Chinese be given
separate trial The last clause is re-
garded by many as practically rendering
the law mop rative. Five Chimes.
brought from Los Angeles were to Lave
been deported this week, but their attor-
ney having been denied writs OF habeas
corpus, took an ap eal from the order,
thus securing stay Of proceedings.
Then Congressman Everett's bill would
do away with the Gelry act entirely and
expect congress will repeal il during
the regular session anyhow"
