Evolution Of tho Ncglige shirt.

When the neglige shirt first became
popular, says the Philadelphia Record,
il was a flannel or silk shirt with soft
collar and no cuffs 20 speak of. It's
object was TO relieve a man of wearing
starched bosoms and collars and cuffs
in hot weather, when they are not only
uncomfortable but likely TO wilt down
from perspiration and give the wearer
a slovenly appearance. Now, however,
the only difference is found in the
color. The neglige shirt is as stiff as a
board and the collar even sitter; so
are the cuffs. In fact IL isn't neglige
at all. The same thing applies to the
russct shoe. When IL first came out
its chief advantage lay in the assertion
that II wasn't necessary TO have it
shined every day or SO. Some one,
however, had TO invent patent polish
for the neglige shoe, and it costs more
to shine that than IL does regular
black shoe.

The Shadow of Which Is Now Visible to
Angelenos.
On the evening OF November Is, at
at Armory hall, will be inaugurated the
annual fair for the benefit of the
orphans, one of the nobleat charities
that has been undertaken by the ladies
of Los Angeles. Each recurring year
for the pact decade the best efforts of
the ladies have been put forth in order
that pecuniary aid might be forthcom-
ing to assist in the care and mainten-
ance of the little unfortunates whom
the cruel hand of fate has deprived of
parental support. This year the efforts
have been redoubled, and it is safe to
say that the coming fair will surpass all
previous successes. The ladies are now
canvassing for favors for the Orphans
Appeal, the little journal published
daily during the period of the fair, and
we bespeak for them liberal patronage
from the whoie-souled merchants and
business men. The good people having
the care of these little ones in hand
have quite burden, and deserve the
hearty support and aid OF one and all.
Remembera favor extended in this
direction will prove noble deed done.

Is tho Chasm Bridged?

EDITORS HERALD: In LOOKING over
the admirable programme recently
issued by the Unity club of this city we
notice the names of no less than eight
stalwart Presbyterians who have been
engaged to speak during the season
upon various interesting and timely
topics. And the question at once
arises, why is church discipline so un-
evenly distribute ed? Why does Presby-
terian orthodoxy lay it's severe hand
upon DR.. Briggs in Washington, and at
the same time allow its Los Angeles
representatives the uDtrammeled enjoy
ment of that very liberty for which DR..
Briggs has been pleading? The Unity
club, it is true, insists that
it is not sectarian organization,
and yet tits well-known fact
that it has been founded and
fostered very largely by Unitarian inhu-
ence---that it holds it meetings in a
Unitarian church edifce, and that there
would not be very much lett OF it if all
Unitarian support was Withdrawn. As
lovers of progress we cannot help but
regard such broad religious tolerance
with satisfaction, and we earnestly hope
that some of these Presbyterian speak
ers at the Unity club, who were rece ntly
so pronounced In their anti Briggs senti-
mepts have seen the error of their ways
and repented. In any event, however,
it augurs well for that promised state of
blessedness when the lion and the lamb
shall lie down together. At the same
time we would suggest to the lamb in
this case that he be very careful to lie
down outside the lion rather than inside.

THEY ALL WANT TO GO HOME
Japanese Workmen at jackson Park Anxious
to Get Back to Mikado Land.

From the Chicago Herald.
Gloom has settled over the colony of indus
trious little Japs at Jackson Park For several
weeks the skillfui carpenters. who work with
the oldest kind of tools imaginable and the
painters and masons have ceased to Joke with
visitors and amuse themselves at the expense
of spectators. They are working like beavers
The little fellows, who trot about like a beetle
on its hind legs, scarcely take time to speak to
each other now. After their picturesque build
ings on wooded island were about finished the
Japs ran over to manufactures hall and COM
menced work on their pavilion there. Then
another gang hurried down Midway plaisance
and unpacked the material for their village and
tea houses Others made haste to fine art gall
leries to put several rooms i'll condition for Jap
anese works of art. They scarcely take time
for a MONDAY lunch and are at work in the
morning long before the procession of laborers,
with their buckets on their arms. swing through
the gates.
The Japs are homesick every one Of them
OF course Mr.. Iegima. the imperial commits
sloner, and members of his staff are not espe-
cially anxious to get away, but every laborer
IN the colony has the blues. They all want to
go home.
That's why they are working so FAST Mr.
Tegima said yesterday. '.You MAJ have noticed
that all of our work is far along, almost COM
pleted. 1t is because our workmen are hurrying
to finish and get away. They do not like to stay
from home. 1t was not easy to get them to
come here and put up our buildings. The con-
tractors had TO pay all their expenses to Chicago
and back to Toxic pay their expenses while
here and give them better wages than they
| could make at home. Our people are not migra-
| tory, Mr.. Tegma continued. They all pre-
/ fer to stay at home. 1t is very seldom that any
| of them leave Japan to live in other countries
Even our students. who are educa:ed in Amer
! lea and Europe, nearly always come back. They
like Japan best. So do these laborers. Many
OF them have families. and they have been away
a long time. l don't think any of them will
remain in Chicago after their work on our
buildings is finished. They are 80 anxious to
get away that they will hardly stay to see the
exposition.
''See how fast they worh?' and Mr.. Tegima
pointed to a group of carpenters putting the
I pavilion together in manufactures hall. The
little fellows fairly ran they worked. All
of them seemed melancholy and dsheartened.
| 1t was not the same crowd that several months
ago used TO joke among themselves while
visitors were commenting on their peculiar
ways. great change has come over the Japs
| They are silent and gloomy.
Mr.. TeSima has no fears of strike. but he
knows that the workmen will pack their strange
| tools and board the first steamer that leaves
| San Francisco after their work is done.
