J. w. RAPHAEL RETURNS.
His Views Upon Features of the
Worlds Fair.

w Vi III y dlE.
j. w. Raphael, the enterprising cloth
ing merchant, returned from a business
trip 10 New York, Philadelphia, Rsches-
ter and Chicago on Friday evening last,
and in conversation with CALL repre-
sentative yesterday had this to say of Chi
cago and the Worlds Fair:
'In my opinion the Transportation
building is the finest in point of archl-
tectural design and the Washington build
ing the most orig in al of the features of the
fair. OF course CalifOrn la may Justly be
proud of her building but it has no di s.
tinctive beauties. Another thing which |
particularly noted was the exhibits OF
WOODEN and silver goods by the United
States. People talk Of the wool of Europe
aud our own country without knowing
anything abaut the quality raised in each
place. American wool is far superior Ia
that OF Europe, and we manufacture bet
ter woolsn goods. both in respect of flush
and color, than any European country.
Our Silverware is also Jar superior to
that of Europe.
There is only one thing in which | con-
slider we are fairly Outdone by Europe.
and that is in hosiery. France is away
ahead of Us there.
II must say that Chicago was an agree
able disappointment 10 Inc in one res pect.
The charges for all Accommodations were
remarkably reasonable.
II have only one thing to say about our
Midwinter Fair. l sincerely trust we shall
not have the disgusting dancers of tie

In morality at least"

FRENCH RESIGNS.
Private Duties Crowd Him From the
School Board.

Private Duties Crowd Him From the
School Board.
School Director Frank j. French saws
his resignation from the Board of EGuca-
ton is definite.
1t is to be regretted, as Mr.. French's
services to the city on the board have been
faithful and unremitting. This term,
whish is now cut short, IS his secon d. he
having served IN the preceding board,
where he won the confidence of his con-
stituents by curse of answering recti-
tude and adherence 10 economic princi-
pies. In the stress of various heated
dissensioBs between members OF the board
Mr.. French invariably preserved judicial
cO0lness which not seldom contributed to
the restoration of harmony. In committee
work he won the respect Of his Immediate
associates by his acuteness and unsparing
attention to detail.
60 generally was Mr.. French's service
to the people appreciated that he was in
duced to stand again for the office on the
Non-Partisan ticket. He was particularly
emphatic in urging the appointment of
teachers by competent body of peda-
gogues or other trained specialists, thus
taking the appointments out of the hands
of politicians. In this attitude toward the
publication OF school-board politics Mar.
French stands firm to-day.
He finds. however, that the proper per-
Torrance of the duties of School Director
encroaches more aud more upon his bust
ness and social duties. Mr.. French is a
member of several high fraternal orders,
and is besides a general favorite in society.
This pressure on all hands has induced
him to insist on the acceptance of his res
ignstion.

Commissioners of the Midwnter Fair to
do honor 10 the executive committee repre-
sented by L. B. Mitchell. The testimonial
took the form of a most deliberately pre-
pared banquet at which California wines
and fruits were exclusively served. When
!. was learned yesterday that Mir. Mitchell
would be obliged 10 leave Chicago to-mor-
row few of the leading spirits among
the commissioners from the foreign nations
conferred with Herr Corney and in an in
credibly short time all the arrangement
were made. ThirIy-three persons, repre-
sentihg every civilized nation on earth,
repeatedly drained their cups and cbeered
themselves hoarse in enthusiasm for Cali
fornia and the California fair.
The tables were arranged in the old ban
Duet hall Of the castle, and after doing JUS

missi oner Mackie. representing Italy and
Monaco, called upon Herr Cornely 10 ex-
press on behalf of the foreign nations

for its invitation to take art in the Cali

executive committee.

whenever he essayed to taste the luscious

We have been time and again

asked the question why the Chiffon
Paints have such a high gloss. The
Chiffon Paint Co. in buying linseed
oil, contracts for 'prime, well-settled,
old-fashiOned, raw linseed OIL" This
is, being interpreted, oil crushed from
prime or first quality flaxseed and
which has been tanked and allowed
to settle. The oil is then drawn from
the upper part of the tank, leaving
undisturhed the lower part. "Old-
fashioned linseed oil" is from seed
crushed and pressed instead of a
recent method called the naptha
process. Having obtained this oil,
the Chiffon Co. tank it again, and
the oil gradually loses what little
moisture it possessed and becomes
very heavy bodied. 1t is this cause
and the seven miXings and grindings
given each shade, crushing and
grinding each particle of pigment in
to each particle of oil that produces
the lustre, On well painted houses
this gloss alone has been known to
last three years; ordinarily the gloss
on newly painted houses where COM
mon paints are used vanishes in from
six months to one year.
