AND now the San Francisco Examiner
joins the column in the war upon ladies
entrances" to saloons. Seven of the Su-
pervisors of San Francisco, with Mayor
Ellert, are out in letters denouncing the
ladies' entrances TO hell-holes and de-
manding that they be prohibited. 1t
really begins to look as if society might
at last dissolve the infamous partnership
it now has with these ante-rooms TO crime
and ruin. If women will drink let them
be driven to using the front door of the
saloon, and to standing up to the open
bar along with men. We shall then
know the full extent of the vice of drink
ing liquors among them. SO far as the
saloon is concerned.

WE have no faith whatever in the story
from Satolli's Secretary that the Czar,of
Russia is negotiating with Pope Leo to put
the Russian Greek Church under papal
domination. The instant the Gar con-
fesses to his people that he is not "the
little father" the vicegerent of God. he
will destroy the loyalty of his peasant
subjects, who hold him to be the
anointed and God-chosen head of the
church. Blot out the superstition that
clings about the Cars headship as di-
vine and he will not be able to hold the
Russians under monarchy.

IT is not altogether improbable, this
report that King George of Greece has
abdicated, and that Greece has been de-
clared republic. George is not native
to the soil; he does not care much for his
kingship; the people of Greece are
strongly inclined to break away from
monarchical forms and have always been
willing to repeat the experiment of a
Grecian republic again. If independ-
Greece stands a chance to maintain free
government now, since the democratic
spirit has grown so much stronger in the
Eastern hemisphere.

that if he were courtmartialed he would
be convicted and shot; he realized that he
was in error, but had not the strength of
will to face his fate before board of his
naval peers. His refusal of boats when
the ship was sinking establishes the
theory that the man was insane.

A EUROPEAN critic says in a foreign
review:

review:
Two conspicuous characteristics mark the
American newspaper Superficially. 1t seems
black with headlines. 1t is padded to Fail
stafiiain repletion with undigested and often
unwholesome verbiage in a style of inimita-
BILE bombast. What first strikes the eve of an
Englishman trained to a soberer style is the
system of "dfsplay heads if I may use the
vernacular of the editors Office Display
heads are intended often to advertise a col
umn of news inflated into u spurious i'm
portance.
AS to the amount of truth in this criti-
cism we take it there will hardly be two
opinions among conservative people. 1t
is thought worthy the serious consid-
Grafton ofjournalists, that the American n
newspaper press is lacking in seriousness
and is inflated by sensationalism. To
the correction of these defects we be-
lieve the best journalistic thought and
influence of the country must very soon
address itself. Newspapers in America
are bringing themselves into disrepute
among our people by the frothy system
OF display, and the rivalry that tends to
the padding and exaggerating of reports
of matters purely sensational. We would
not displace the vigor, vitality and enter
prise of the American newspaper for the
conservative heaviness and slow news of
the European press. That agency needs
something of our push and vigor, and we
need something of its conservative nerve.

VERY good, exceptionally and thor
oughly systematic work is in progress at
Oakland for stamping out the fever cpl
demic. But how much better it would
have been to have 50 administered affairs
that an epidemic would not have assailed
the city. over $50 sick people might have
escaped the plague, and those now dead
from the fever would probably be in life
and doing duty in the community. If
the milk supplied from Claremont was
the cause originally, it proves that Oak
land needed a food inspector; if the i'll
condition of the sewers is chargeabIe
with the continuance of the epidemic. it
proves that there has long been official
neglect to examine the city drains
and ascertain their condition. Sewer
examination in city should be constants:
the exact condition of the sewers should
be known and reported each week in a
city so large as is Oakland. The city au-
thorities must have known all the time
IudC lu6 sewers OF Ten streets IN Vest
Oakland empty into a pond that has no
outlet, and that this pond had not been
cleansed in long, long time Now they
are about to cut canals from this pesti-
lential pond to the bay. Naturally, pru-
dent people will ask why these canals
were not cut long age? Was it not next
door to criminal negligence to store the
sewage from a large section in the pond
bounded by Union, Kirk kham, Third and
Fifth streets? Suppose this city drained
sewers into Sutter Lake, or China
Slough as usually known, would we not
know that presently disease would arise
out of the pond and stalk over the city :?
y ct such supposititious case is precisely
the parallel of the Oakland situation. All
this should warn US to at once cleanse the
low-lying section beyond r street below

ANOTHER DEMAND FOR THE
STATE CAPITAL

The Oakland Times in labored edi-
torial considers San Jose knocked out''
IN the attempt to remove the Capital from
Sacramento. 1t then proceeds TO say that
Oakland should begin preparations to
put on foot in the next Legislature the
necessary movement to have the seat of
government removedsto Oakland.
There is the usual and pardonable
boasting about the advantages of Oak
land as to accessibility, centrality, ETC.,
but not single line is printed to show
that there is any necessity whatever Tor a
change Of the seat of governments; that
there is any demand by the people for it,
or that there is any economic or even
sentimental reason for disturbing the
location.
The truth is that there is nothing what
ever except the notion of local aggrandize-
ment to prompt even the suggestion of a
change in the location of the seat of gov
ernment. The Times says:
We do not believe that there is the least
doubt of success if we are wisely persistent in
our intention. We believe that if the matter
is properly presented to the people of Califor-
MIA and properly manipulated Oakland NAV
WlIhln the next four years be declared the
capital Of California. 1t NAV be a long an d
an afduous campaign, but the object to be
obtained is worth the effort, and We are lag
gards standing in our own light if we do not
exert ourselves to the extent OF seizing our
opportunity when it is offered.
In this expression there is simply the
reflection of local ambition. State neces-
slty, State good, the welfare of the tax
payers of California, cut no figure what
ever. 1t is very short-sighted policy on
the part of any influence, in Oakland or
anywhere else, to project this question of
Capital removal into another campaign
after the San Jose ambition shall have
been disposed OF. OF course, if the peo-
pie of the State demanded removal; if
economic considerations and broad State
interests advised the removal and it's Incl
dent cost, Oakland is infinitely prefer
able TO San Jose for a score of reasons.
But there is not single defensible reason
for removal and every reason against it.

A VISIT TO WATERLOO.
old Women Still Living on the Spot Who
 Saw the Great Battle.


 Jule Claretie, the administrator of the Comedie Franchise, paid visit, shortly before his arrival in London, to the battlefield of Waterloo, says the London Daily News. It was seventy eight years ago that the battle was fought, yet M. Claretie was still able to glean something in the locality from actual eye witnesses of that mighty historic event.
 In the little wine-shop called the Belle Alliance" where Wellington and Butcher, according to an inscrip- tion, met and saluted after their vic tory, he found two old women engaged in alarming stockings. They appeared to take very little notice of strangers, but, on being questioned, the cider of the two declared that she was over ninety years of age.
 ''I was twelve years old," she said, ''at the time of the battle. I was liv- ing with my parents at Plancenoit. We took refuge, all of us, on the Friday in the woods with the cattle. ItwaS on Sun day they fought. It was just after my first communion, and on the day of St. Donnat, saint in whose honor there is a pilgrimage in the neighborhood. When all was over we went out and saw dead bodies everywhere. At night after the battle there was storm. The bodies became swollen through the rain, and there were fears of pesti- lence. They were buried in heaps, with dry branches between each layer, and then the branches were set fire to, or quicklime was poured in the trenches"

AN IMPORTANT EVENT.
A Princes Footstep Commemorsted by a
 Monument.

Americans are not the only people who show an undue reverence for a lordly title. The author of Around and About South America" tells of his visit to Stanley, Falkland islands, the .southernmost town on the globe, where an incident convinced him that a name sometimes equals an event.
 The decidedly English expression of the town is greatly heightened upon going on shore, where land upon a small jetty, at whose extremity stands a pyramidal brick and stone monu- ment, bearing on tablet the rather in- expressive communication: Alfred, 24th February, 1874"
 Knowing that many nations had at different times claimed possession of these islands, and that several con flicts had resulted, it was but natural to suppose that this proud pile dis tinguished the spot where some British HCratius Cocles had, single-handed, re- pelled the landing cutters of several French or Spanish men-of-war, and that his appreciative countrymen had thus made the fact known to such of the great world as might by accident stray thither.
 The very first citizen met begged to tell me more of this brave, this doughty Alfred, apologizing, of course, for memory defective in matters of historical detail. And my blood al- most congealed within my veins and my heart stood still with awe as I learned that here, here on this very spot, ''real live" English prince had once set his foot, on coming ashore to pay visit to the governor.
 My informer stood solemn and seri- ous, but there is no use in denying that was prohigate enough to laugh.

Good Bob White.

The male quail, or Bob White" de- serves honorable mention among galli- naceous birds because he is particular ly good to his wife. He always helps her to hatch her eggs, and if anything keeps her away will take the whole duty on himself This is particularly attested by writer quoted by Capt Bendire in his ''Life Histories of North American Birds" He says: ''In June, 1886, while was on visit to Dr. J. NJ. Pickett, of Cedarville, Ala, he informed me of having seen a male Bob White incubating. He had visited the nest at various times on different days, and always found the male bird on the nest. Wishing to be an eyewitness of so interesting a sight, rode several miles with the doctor to the nest. There we found Bob White faithfully warming his treasures, but not into life; the eggs were never matched. Dr. Pickett frequently went to the nest until long after the period of incuba- tion had elapsed, and finding that the eggs would not hatch, he destroyed them, to prevent the useless occupa- tion of the nest by the male. The fe- male had probably been dead some hours before the male found the nest serted; hence the eggs cooled and would not hatch"

CURFEW IN COREA.
Curious Social Customs in a Far Corne

 Curious Social Customs in a Far Corner
 of the World.
 ''In Seoul the curfew rings at dusk and the gates of the city are locked Then the men retire to their houses and the town is given over to the wom- en, who must make their visits after nightfall," says Rev. H. G. Appenzeller in the San Francisco Chronicle. "This is the law and this is the theory, but it has fallen into innocuous desuetude in latter years. When I first went to Corea in 1885 the practice was quite rigidly observed, but the nation is be- coming more enlightened and is slowly adopting American or European ideas and customs" Rev. H. G. Appenzeller has for the past eight years been a missionary of the Methodist Episcopal church in the hermit kingdom. He has been on visit to his old home in Pennsylvania and is now on his way back to Corea.
 ''l went to Corea in 1885," says Mr. Appenzeller, land was one of the first missionaries of our church in that kingdom. Up to my departure last year I was the superintendent of the mission in Seoul.
 'Coreans describe Americans as a 'frst-class nation They believe in us and regard us as friends. Not from any individual preferences; but simply because 1 am an American" says Mr. Appenzeller, "I received the kindest attentions from magistrates while travelling in Corea and was recognized by the king. Our college was given standing in the kingdom, and the medical work of our missionaries was highly esteemed. Seoul is a walled town of about three hundred thousand people. The wall is sixteen miles around, forty-two feet high and twenty five feet thick. It is faced with solid masonry. The native chronicles say that it was built in nine months"

DULL AND coNIENTED.
Graphic Sketch of the People in a Well
 Governed French-Canadian Village.Is


 Governed French-Canadian VillagesIs
 In the quiet village, where the good cures word is law. there is likely to be little brawling and less drinking, for the French-Canadians are neither quarrelsome nor incorporate. There may be tavern, or perhaps two tav- erns, where not only guests are re- ceived, but where liquor is sold, but the cure sees to it that they are closed very early in the evening. Long before midnight the streets of the place are deserted, and a late wanderer need have no fear of drunken hoodlums. A well-governed French-Canadian vii 1age, where the cure is thoroughly re- spected because of his wisdom and piety, affords decided contrast to many rural communities in English Canada and on our own side of the bor- der.
 The people are not enterprising. At least this seems to be true of all but few exceptions. They are content to take what comes in their way, with the happy faith that the morrow will bring with it it's daily bread. They are averse to breaking in new lands, and, as the families are large, the division of the farms generation after generation finally results in such small portions that some of the children must seek employment elsewhere if all are to live. Very few of them are willing to go to the new lands of Man itoba and the northwest, but they find congenial occupation in the cities They are admirable mechanics and are most loyal and devoted servants, says Henry Loomis Nelson, in Harper's Magazine.
 The Scotchman or Englishman who is at the head of great establishment prefers the French-Canadians to his own countrymen as subordinates. He will tell you that the Frenchmen will remain with him all their lives; that no such thought as seeking new em- ployment or leaving the old for the purpose of engaging in ventures for himself will ever enter a French-Cana- dians head. He will stay by his old employer all his life, and his son will succeed to his own or better place in the service of the house. On the other hand, the Englishman or Scotchman will take the first opportunity to go into business for himself, and will use his employment as stepping-stone to something better.
