crowd than usual were at the $3.50
Mail dock Thursday afternoon s. 0is.
ness the departure OF the O. "
Peking, bound for China and api.n
The principal object of interest ves the
Java village on its return home frou tDs
worlds fair. The party consist
125 persons, including men, womer u1
children.
They are very curious looking Is0n.s
and might almost be classed as d. 4r.a,
the men averaging not quite fec a
height, while the women are fuily
foot smaller; in appearance they reset
BILE both in features and complexioa as
Yuma Indians. Their hair, whica =
jet black and rather coarse, ia kept well
out of sight by various loud-colored
turbane.
Since their arrival in this country
they have attempted to emulate the
American style of dress, and their at
teInpts to don our garments were ludic-
rous. Quite number of the men wore
vests on the outside of coats one wore
a shirt on the outside OF his coat, and
another, who was probably the Bwell Of
the party, proudly strutted up and down
on the upper deck attired in loud pair
of striped colored drawers and huge
red shawl thrown over his shoulder.
The women covered their plump little
bodies with cheap calico dresses, re-
gardless of fit. Unlike the men, they
were barefooted. and, with the excep.
ton OF hugo earrings, devoid OF orna-
ments. They are very good natured
and pleasant little people, and seem
highly pleased when addressed by white
persons. Having occasion to 60 into
their quarters in the storage, | WAS
rather surprised to be addressed
by one of the younger females,
who took occasion to tell me
of her delight at returning to
her native land, saying that they
were all anxious to get away from
the cold climate of Chicago to their own
home wnere snow is unheard OF and it
is warm at all seasons OF this year. Asked
| as to whether they had made any money
at the fair she ioyfully replied that they
were all rich now having taken IA car
loads of Javanese curios which were
readily disposed of and were now return
ing with 400 trunks laden with things
that Java has never beheld.

Three Corean dignitaries, who consti-
tuted the royal commission in this coun-
try, were among the cabin passengers
bound for the orient and came In Tor
their full share of attention. They were
dressed in the height of Corean fashion
which would prove q difficult task to
describe. The Chinese consulate in
this city, clad in the flowing robes of
Mandarins, bade the Coreans adieu, the
parting salutations being one continued
bowling and SCRAP ing, during which not
word was spoken by either party.

A number of women in this city who
manage to keep themselves before the
public as reformers of one thing or
another have undertaken the bercu
lean task of reforming the San Fran
cisco press, and few evenings since
held meeting for the double purpose
of airing their alleged grievances and
seeing their names in print the follow
ing day. In the latter instance they
were treated even better than they
could possibly have hoped, for one of
the asaailed dailies going so far as to
give in addition to full report of their
speeches, cuts of a number of the lead
ers of the movement which was no
doubt highly gratifying to these dear
creatures who 80 eagerly digest all the
salacious details Of sensational news
that they may be the better qualified to
comment upon it in public places.

The Examiner and Chronicle, who
are the principal objects at which the
movement is directed, do not seem to
be disturbed at the state of affairs and
are pursuing their even tenor as before.

The beginning of the long racing
eeeson is now on at the Bay District
track, and while there are as yet no
horses of any note entered, the majority
for the most part being what in racing
parlance are commonly called 'skates."
The San Francisco sporting public does
not complain but patronize both the
box-ofice and the book makers 40 lib
orally as though the very best STOCK In
America WAS on the programmes.

men have put in an appearance but
