Photographing the Chinese.

Assistant Secretary Spaulding and
Commissioner of Internal Revenue
Mason said that the order of the de
partment dispensing with photo
graphs for Cinnamon applying to
register under the Geary law, and
requiring but one white witness, had
not resulted in allaying the preju-
dices of Chinese or inducing them to
register to any considerable extent.
Assistant Secretary Spaulding
said: There seems to be a very
general misunderstanding of the
terms of the Geary act. | have no.
ticed in the Eastern press frequent
illusions to the order of the depart
ment dispensing with the photo
graphs of the Chinese. The impress
sion is general that the exclusion
law expressly provides for photo
graphs, while it is not so. You will
remember this provision passed the
House of Representatives, but it was
defeated in the conference committee
Under the law as it stands, the Sec
retary may require the name, age,
local residence and occupation, or
such other description of the appli-
can't as shall be prescribed by the
Secretary of the Treasury,
"Our first regulations required
the Chinese to be photographed, but
as their principal objection seemed
to be to this we decided to dispense
with this mode of Identification. Mr.
Geary was at the Treasury Depart
ment just before he left Washington
and was strongly of the opinion that
photographs furnished the surest
means of Identification, and that the
law might be of no effect without
this requirement

On the African as well as on the
European coast of the western part
of the Mediterranean Sea, flowers
are largely grown for the purpose of
making perfumes. A favorite plant
is the rose geranium, and one farm
has been described where the plan
tations of it cover seventy acres.
Sweet alyssum is one of the weeds
which most seriously trouble the cul-
tivators of these geranium- fields.

The Secretary of the Navy decided
upon the official programme of the
naval review in New York harbor on
the 9th inst, The ships will be an
chored in two columns, extending
from Twenty sixth street up the
North River.
The President and the members of
his Cabinet will be received on board
the Dolphin at 1890 A. NJ, off Twen-
ty-third street, North River. The
Dolphin will then get under way,
and, followed by the coast survey
steamer Blake and the steamer Mon
mouth, will proceed up the river be-
tween the columns of United States
and foreign men-of-war.
The Blake will carry members of
the diplomatic corps and the Mon
mouth will have on board Judges of
the Supreme Court, Senators and
Representatives Of the United States
and Governors of the States, each
accompanied by one staff officer No
other invitation will be issued for the
review.
The Dolphin, proceeding between
the columns, WILL as she passes the
various ships, be saluted with the
honors laid down by the Internal
iOnal treaties as due to the chief of
the State, and arriving at the head
of the columns will anchor between
them. The Blake will anchor at the
head of the foreign column and the
Monmouth at the head of tie Ameri-
can column.
Flag officers and captains of the
men-of- war will then be received on
board the Dolphin and will he pre-
sented to the President of the United
States, who will entertain them at
lunch Lunch will at the same time
be served on the Blake and on the
Monmouth to the guests on board.
The review will terminate by the
return of the Dolphin, Blake and
Monmouth through the lines, and
when the Presidents flag is hauled
down from the Dolphin it will be sa-
luted with twenty-one guns by all
Of the men-of-war present.
A great many applications were
made to the Secretary of the Navy
to allow newspaper correspondents
transportation upon the vessels of
the fleet sailing from Hampton Road
on the Oath of April to New York
harbor, but owing to the fact that he
would be able to accommodate but
very few and his disinclination to
discriminate he decided to allow only
representatives of the press associa-
tions to sail upon one vessel and not
to issue permission to other CORES
pondents.

EXPERIENCE Is WEALTH.
No Royal Road to Learning. The aentle-
man Farmer An Obstacle to Progress,

man Farmer AN Obstacle to Progress.
A beginner mustn't get carried
away with the idea that his knowl-
edge Is sufficient to decide all the
minor details that come up in the
poultry industry There is some
thing more needed than personal in
sight, book literature and facts OBJ
tanned from others. Every man
must sooner or later go through "a
certain training in order to be able
to conduct his business in profita-
BILE manner.
He must learn from the teaching
of his own hands the ways and meth
ods which are best to adopt. Later
on he is able to direct and give or
ders intelligently, to decide matters
proftably, to keep his hens laying
and run his business in judicious
manner. No business can be han
died correctly without the "boss
having an intelligent idea what to
do. And this teaching can't come
any other way than from experience.
The poultry business is like farm
ing, Men engage themselves in
these industries without realizing
that experience is necessary. They
believe that farm we'll stocked and
a good start is sure of success. They
soon realize that there is something
else necessary in order to swell their
bank accounts. The farmer who has
learned his trade and who sticks to
it is one of the jolliest of human be-
ings and his family is like unto him.
Injury has been done to the far
mers by the occasional starting of
rich gentleman in the industry. II
he would govern his farm according
to his knowledge it would be very
well, but he has money and carries
the whip. He locates in section
where progressive farmers are get
ting splendid living, plows his field
and brings plenty of help. What is
the result? He brings his products
upon the market costing more, and
finding that his brother farmer is
supplying some market, and his only
salvation to rid himself of his prod
ucts is to lower them just so as to
sell below this brother, he doesn't
mind trifle of loss. 1t is satisfac-
tion to him to know that his goods
are grown and sold. This rich mer-
chant crowds out the thrifty farmer,
showing by his profit and loss ac-
count that farming is failure.
This occasional squirt into the field
of industry, without proper knowl-
edge, aided with plenty of money,
doesn't help an industry and tends
to injure the progress of the farmer.

he always put just six rows of po-

Captured the Works.

In an old ramshackle building in
Brooklyn, which has been tenantless
since the last occupant committed
suicide five years ago, an internal
revenue officer April II captured one
of the largest and best equipped ILL
cit distillel.ies that has fallen into the
hands of the Government for years.
Suspicion was aroused by the neigh
bors obsel wing smoke issuing from
the chimn ey of the house, and also
that half a. dozen or more swarthy-
visaged m, IN were observed to enter
and leave ;he building at given hours.
The talk of the neighbors eventually
found it's way to internal revenue

The Pro and Con of Soaking. Dangers of
Powders.

The Pro and Con of Soaking. Dangers OF
To soak or not to soak, is a
question important in any considera-
tion of laundry methods While dirt
is unquestionably removed with less
of wear and tear after it is freely
softened, any long lying in any aka
line solution is not merely injurious
to fiber and fabric, but has ten
dency to fix dirt through chemical
reaction.
This is all the more likely to be the
case if washing fluids or powders
are in use. The fluids almost invari.
ably contain ammonia or chloride OF
lime, with a proportion of borax.
With powders it is much the same.
They are for the most part formed OF
soap, too hard to dissolve readily,
that has been sliced, dried, crushed
and mixed with powdered borax or
potash.
All the vegetable oils so largely
used by soap makers throw down.
by standing, fatty solid known to
the trade as "foots.
1t is this solid, soparitied with the
very strongest alkalies, which sup
ply soap for grinding into powders.
Naturally, when free alkali is added
to the powder, the strength of it is
dangerously increased.
Still these washing powders and
fluids can be used with safety il
proper care is taken. Where the
wash water is hard, tablespoonful
of either powder or fluid may be
stirred with advantage through each
tubful before putting in the clothes.
1t softens the water and saves the
disagreeable, gritty feeling of hands
and wrists.
But never, by any means, add
either, while garments are in the
water. To do so is to invite the pre-
meditated
POVERTY OF PATCHES.
1T is likely to rest on the cloth in
stead of dissolving or blending with
the water. Invariably, then, the
strong alkali will eat holes, great or
small, sometimes fine powdering
all over, as though the garment had
been peppered with shot, sometimes
taking out jagged spots the bigness
of your palm.
Black mammies down South, in
the days when they were past mis-
tresses of laundry work, held soak
ing over night " in adherence,
Their practice was to wet soiled
clothes thoroughly with water barely
lukewarm, let them lie for perhaps
ten minutes to soften the dirt, "
then soap and rub and boil and rinse.
And certainly their clothes were OF a
cleaner white than the traditional
driven snow, and sweet smelling as
new-cut grassland.
Half teacupful of kerosene added
to boiler of clothes helps to whiten
them without injury to the texture.
The main objection to
OVERNIGHT SOAKING
is that it does too much. First, the
soap, or alkali, combines with the
dirt, rendering it soluble But by
standing for twelve hours or so, new
compounds are formed, not so evil
dent, it may be, as the original soil
ure, but really not less unclean, and
much harder to remove That is
why clothes come so often from the
tub and the ironing board full of a
dead, heavy smell.
The weight of authority seems to
Indicate this pattern of wash day.
Rise early breakfast moderately
late. Before the meal put your
clothes to soak, first wetting them

Gar diner High School Boys Win an Exciting
Game At Brunswick.

Brunswick. April 20. Especial "A
nine from the Gardiner High School de-
feated the Brunswick High School boys in
close and exciting game of ball on the
Bowdoin delta this afternoon. At the
beginning of the seventh inning the score
was to 0 in favor of the Brunswick. bu,
good batting and good lnck gave the Gardi-
ner boys three runs in that inning and at
the close of the game the score was Gardi-
ner 6, Brunswick ).
The battery work of both teams was very
good, Sawyer and Muuroe being in the
Gardiner, and Toothaker and Wheeler for
the home team. The prettiest play OF the
game was difficult oue-handed fly catch
by Merrill, who played left field for Gardi
ner.
Nearly the whole college went to Lewis
ton this afternoon to cheer on the team in
its first league game of the season, and the
sweeping victory over Bates was the occa-
sion of an extensive celebration when the
crowd returned on the late Pullman. The
result raises the hopes of the baseball men
very high, and the boys feel that they have
a good grip on the pennant this season.
The terrific batting of the team exceeded
the expectations of all and the brilliant
pitching of Plsisted was the feature of the
game. Colby plays here next Wednesday
and Maine State College next Saturday.

10000 MINERS
In the Ohio Coal Fields Will
Strike Today.
Movement Is Almost Certain to Fail
as Other Fields Are Open
But Men Voted 10 Strike Despite Protests Of
High Officials.

CoLuMBus, o., April 3o.--As result OF
the conference of delegates from various
local miners organizations of the state.
held here yesterday, 10000 Ohio coal
miners will refuse to work Monday morn
ing.
Early in the spring the Ohio miners made
demand upon the operators for au ad-
vance of cents on ton for pick mining
and 10 cents for machine mining. A joint
conference was held April Is, and both
operators and miners refused to make con-
cessions.
The National Mine Workers officers de-
dided to submi; III, proposition of strike
MAY lst, to the vote of the locals of the
competitive district composed of Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Western Virginia, Iuiiana
and Illinois
The locals of Ohio were directed to send
instructed delegates to the conference held
here yesterday. They came instructed TO a
man to stand unalterably for the original
demand for strike.
Yesterday morning official advices were
received at the national headquarters here
from the Pennsylvania fields, stating that an
amicable adjustment of affairs there had
been concluded, which shattered the plans
of concerted action.
Both the national and the state officers
Of the ion advised against the strike in
Ohio, but the delegates had instructions
and were not to be moved from them.
After these officers labored all day to dis
suade the delegates not one man had been
converted last night.
The strike was declared and every local
union was telegraphed not to return to work
Monday. The strike is remarkable one
as never before did the men go out against
the unanimous protests of the union
officers.
The National President Mcbride lay
almost helpless on a sick bed, but mastered
strength enough to dictate a strong appeal
to the delegates to reeede from their stand.
That the strike will result in a disastrous
failure is almost foregone conclusion, as
the mines of all other states of the same
competitive district are to be kept in opera
ton and will have little difficulty in supply
ing the demand.

YANKEES VS.. ITALIANS.
Rumford Falls the Scene Of a Shoot

First Assaulted With aa AZ he faakse Shsa
italian 10 Shoulder.

LswIscS, April Especial. "A tigh,
between two Yankees and gang of Ital-
ians occurred at Rumford Falls Friday
nigh, in which pistol played prominent
part.
The two men in question crossed the
river TO attend dance in Mexico. They
returned late at night, and as they passed
the Italian quarters. the man ahead saw
one coming toward him with an az in his
hand.
He shonted to him to stop, but as be
showed no intention of doing so, he pulled a
revolver he carried and threatened to shoot
This did not discourage the ex-Dago, who
pressed on with lis carver.
The revolver snapped, and the howl
which followed indicated that some one had
been hit. The cries of the wounded man
and the discharge of the pistol aroused the
inhabitants of Little Italy, who came out IN
swarms.
The man who had shot attempted to fight
them single handed and was getting much
the worse of ii, when the other man, who
had retreated at first, let drive another
shot.
1t didn't take effect, but bad the effect to
scatter the Daeos who were awfully afraid
of guns until the two men could get out of
the way. Both claim to belong in Bangor,
and came down TO Lewiston, to take the
train for that city.
The one who was engaged in the hani-
to-hand fight was badly cut about the face
and had one severe scalp wound. He had
been employed as hostler for little
while at the Falls.
II is learned that the Italian who first
evinced determination to run amnck, re-
ceived the ball from the mans revolver in
the tieshy part of the shoulder, but that the
second shot didn't take effect

BOWOOIN. "a. BATES, 6.
The Bates Men Defeated Through Inability
10 Hit Piaisted's Curves.

LEWISTON, April 29.-The college base
ball season opened here to-day with game
between Bates and Bowdoin, in which the
home team were fairly slaughtered, chiefly
through inability to hit Plalsted.
Mildram for the Bates was very unsteady
and was not only hit quite hard, but was
very wild The whole Bates team played
az though they never saw a ball before.
Berr, man, a freshman, was substituted
for Mildram in the sixth, and single. a
double and two home runs, with some
rocky fielding by Bates. gave Bowdoin eight
runs. Bergman, however, allowed them
but three hits and two runs in the remainder
Of the game.
Bowdoin did no show up any stronger in
the field than Bates, and if the latter had
been able to bat any the score would have
been different. Neither team has any
reason to be proud of the game they played.
The score:
