HER LIFE A FAILURE.
A Young Woman Commits Suicide With
Her Bible by Her
Side.

About o'clock yesterday morning a
young woman went to the Baldwin House
on Ellis street, near Stockton, and hired a
room for the remainder of the night. She
signed the name of Minnie O'Rourke on
the dodgers register and went to her room.
AT O'Clock one of the employees in the
house in passing her door smelled gas.
The door was forced open and the woman
was found dead on the bed. The gas was
escaping from one of the burners.
There is no doubt of the woman's inten-
ton of committing suicide, for the cracks
in the door had been carefully stuffed with
paper. On the stand near the bed was a
new Testament. Three crosses marked
the Revelations of ST. John the Divine,
and between the leaves of the book was a
small slip of white paper on which the
woman had written, tsMy life is not worth
living. 1t has been failure. Good-by."
The body was removed to the Morgue
and placed upon the unidentified" slab,
| for no one had recognized her. The name
OF Minnie O'Rourke that she gave at the
| lodging house is believed to have been as
sumed, for the dead woman's features in
dictate that she is of German extraction.
| She appears to have been between 25 and
80 years of age. Her hair was light in
color and her complexion fair. She was
dressed In a cheap black dress and wore a
black straw hat. Her general appearance
and dress leads the people at the Morgue
| to believe that she was one OF the hun
| dreds of unfortunate women who live on
the ragged edge of society.

why the laborers are bound for some GER
tain orchard.
The Labor Commissioners fear that a
great number of coolies are preparing to
enter the State and go to the orchards and
farms is based upon many rumors and re-
ports received from Japan and British
Columbia. When the steamer Belgic ar
rived from the Orient on Saturday it was
reported that her Storage contained 400
Japanese laborers, but immigration Com
missioner Stradley and G. l.. Dam of the
Labor Bureau found only three dozen.
They are all laborers, but they told the
same story in manner showing that they
had been carefully drilled as to what they
should say.
Another movement will be made by Mr..
Fitzgerald in few days with the object of
ascertaining whether or not the coolies
employed in Alameda and other fruit rails
ing counties are contract laborers. He
will hold a court of inquiry and compel
the attendance of both employer and en-
ployes. His investigation will be thorough
and searching, and any found violating the
cordingly. AT any rate the notoriety thus
given to orchardists who employ Japs and
Chinese while thousands of white men
and their families are in distress for the
want of work will have beneficial effects.
The excuse SO often made by employers of
this class of cheap labor that they cannot
get any other kind will be met with an
offer to provide any number of white men
who will be only too glad to take the
coolies places.

Up to date the present year has been

FIGHTING cody LABOR.
The Objects of Commissioner
FitZgerald's Projected
Free Bureau.
HIS STARTLING STATISTICS
Thousands of Unemployed White
Men With Families, but No
Idle Chinese.

When Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald
buckled on his armor to drive cody labor
out of the State and give the W ork to the
thousands of white people who need en-
ployment he did not realize the size of the
undertaking. In the first place Japanese
and Chinese workmen have a stronger
hold upon the labor of the State than he
supposed. In the second, the number of
unemployed white men and women is far
larger than he thought, and, third, he
finds he will have to fight against some of
the wealthiest fruit-growers on the coast,
as well as against negligent State officers
at home and scheming United States Off
GERS abroad.
The establishment of free labor bureau
in his Office in this City is among the first
steps, as it will be necessary for him to
furnish both skilled and unskilled help to
those whom he will ask to dispense with

nesday.

The Grocers' Protective Association is to
hold its annual picnic at Schuetzen Park
next Wednesday.
Every grocery-store in the City is to be
closed, so every housekeeper should lay in
a supply of necessaries tomorrow.
The grocers do not expect to have as
large crowds in attendance as the butchers
had at Shell Mound Park, still they are
confident of having one of the most enioya-
BILE affairs of the year.
& Captain Fred Schumann of Schuetzen
Park is making elaborate preparations for
his guests. The grounds will be gay with
bunting and the dancing pavilion decor
ated with flowers. Everything is being
put in order, and if picturesque location
will add to the enjoyment then the grocers
and their friends should have good time
next Wednesday.
This is the second attempt the grocers
will have made at holding their festival
On the last occasion it rained and the

by sea as we can have more ENJOYABLE
time than if we went by rail; then, again,
it is cheaper, as the railroad company did
not offer us moderate rates. The pro-
gramme has already been prepared. We ex-
pect to arrive in Los Angeles on the 22d,
and of course will participate in the first
event of the tournament, which will be the

"On Monday the parade will be followed
by prize shooting and at 10 O'Clock there
will be a social gathering of veteran Turn

Another significant fact is that when a

Japs went to Victoria, b. u, ana are now

way-to the farms in California, where
they are put to work at once. THESE
laborers are armed with certificates from
