BAR ROOM FIGHT.
Drummer Henderson Fatally Slabs
Chinatown Guide.

u CHINATOWN Guide.
San Francisco, July &c. B. Hen
derson, of Rochester, N. Y, a CONNER
cial traveller. fatally stabbed Clarence
Barr, a Chinatown guide, in the bar
room of the Baldwin hotel today. Hen
derson arrived from the east yesterday
on the annual trip which he has been
IN the habit of making for the Roch-
ester boot and shoe firm of which he is
said to be partner. He spent the
night in visiting various resorts, where
he drank heavily. Without having
been to bed, he entered the Baldwin
billiard room today, shouting:
"A friend told me to come here and
Kill the bar-keeper, and 1 guess I will
have to do it,
No attention being paid to Hender-
sons threat, he entered into converse
ton with Barr, who had been playing
billiards., and who had also been drink
ing, although not so freely as Hender-
son. Barr invited the stranger to drink,
the invitation being accepted. Neither
offering the pay, the barkeeper asked
for the money. Barr then denied being
the host, and during the alteration
which followed Barr called Henderson
a liar. The two grappled, but eyere
separated and Henderson, who was US
ing very abusive language, was eject
ed. He Immediately re-entered and
drawing large pocket knife, plunged
the weapon into Bars abdomen. The
wounded man sank to the ground
This seemed to sober Henderson, who
closed the bloody knife, replaced it in
his pocket and left the saloon. Hender-
son was arrested as he started across
the street, and is now in Jail awaiting
the result of Bars wound. The physi-
clans say that Barr has no chance of
recovery.
Henderson, who refuses to discuss
the ARRAY, takes his arrest coolly. His
one desire seems to be to keep the
knowledge Of his predicament from his
wife

TOBACCO AS TEST OF CHARACTER.
How to Discover a Fidget-Generous
Men Give Good Cigars.

AS a test of character tobacco is
useful. A man may be known by
the cigars he keeps, as well as by the
way he smokes them. No man of
refined taste will smoke a bad cigar.
The philosophic smoker takes his COM
fort in a leisurely way, amid proper
surroundings, and is able to shut
himself out from the world and all its
petty annoyances as. he follows the
curling wreath into the dreamland OF
reVerie. The man who allows his
cigar to go out great many times
and relights it in successive spasms
of fidgetiness may usually be set
down as an incoherent character,
quite prone to get off his trolley, so
to speak, and certainly lacking IN
tenacity of purpose. The man who
fumbles his cigar a good deal and
manages to get the wrapper unraVel-
ed and the fire all on one side may be
dismissed as a nervous person, with
a proclivity for uncomfortableness.
Men who chew their cigars, leaving
their teeth prints on them. and do this
for a long time before lighting them,
are quite likely to be stern, determin-
ed men, full of grit and resolution.
General Grant used to handle cigar
that way, and Bismarck is said to do
likewise.
AS an INDEX of generosity or mean
ness of soul the cigar is quite trust
worthy. The generous man, If he
smokes at all, is sure to indulge him
self, and his friends, when they call
on him, with a good cigar The man
who, with abundant means to smoke
the best, deliberately buys the worst
cigars and pretends to enjoy them, is
capable of almost any conceivable
meanness. Per contra, the man who
can find solace and refreshment from
a cigar of good quality, or a pipe
filed with choice tobacco, and who is
always ready to open his heart wide
and let his tongue wag the most mer-
rily when he takes his friend into the
Inequalities of a mutual smoke talk.
is pretty sure to be one whose in
stincts and impulses are in the main
honest, genial, and right.-Baltimore

FOUNDER OF THE HOMESTEAD
SYSTEM.

George Washingto was, more than any
other American, the founder the home
stead system, which has had so much to
do with the building up Of the west.
Whei the French and Indian War;
closed Washington was everywhere rec
ognized even in Europe, as one of its
most conspicuous figures. In Virginia he
had great influence, and he eXerted this
influence powerfully to secure Tor the
Virginian veterans grants of land in the
western possessions of the state. And so
it was finally arranged that non-commis-
stoned officers and privateS should have
500 acres each of wild land, and officers
very much larger tracts ranging from
5000 acres upward-that is to say, a yeo-
man was to have farm, gentleman
an estate" And the national Congress
followed Virginia's example during the
revolution by Offering soldiers much
smaller tracts of public land.
Washington himself had large. landed
possessions in West Virginia, and, partly
from private. as well as mainly for pub
lie, reasons, no doubt, was qeeply inter- inter-
western road through the wild lands OF
the state.
Washington has often been blamed for
not foreseeing the future greatness of our
western states. No one foresaw 1t IN
those days. But Washington did a great
deal to facilitate their growth.
1925. Long befor that time Kentucky,
Tennessee Ohio, Indiana and Illinois had
been admitted as states, and the people
who made them states, except as to Ten
nessee, had almost all poured west along
the great Virginian road, or the Pennsyl-
vanian roads, which soon paralleled it,
and drifted from Pittsburg down the Ohio
on rude galleyS, fiatboats and RATS,
where Washington had shown the way
even before the revolution.
The part taken by New England in peo-
ping the middle west in these early years
was but trivial compared with that of
Pennsylvania or Virginia For all its
subsequent brag of 'leavening the lump
it was not until 1886 that a state really
peopled from New Observation-Disclosures
was admitted to the union

go more than a block or two down town

LAW Will BE IGNORED.
Wyoming's Statutes in Conflict With
Treaties VIII Not be Noticed.

Wyoming's Statutes in Conflict With
Treaties VIII Not be Noticed.
WASHINGTON, Aug 26.-It has been
definitely decided by the Indian bureau
that no attention will be paid to the
game laws of Wyoming, where they come
into conflict with the treaty of the
United States with the Bsnnock and
Shoshone Indians.
The attorney general after considering
the matter has informed the secretary of
the interior and the commissioner of Indi-
an affairs that the rights of the Indians to
hunt in unOccupied lands in his opinion
are unquestionabIe and that the state of
Wyoming has no power to limit or
abridge this right.
No definite steps to enforce this deter
mination have been decided upon fur
Their than that the instructions to the
United States district attorneys to secure
the release of Indians now in custody on
writs of habeas corpus, probably will be
supplemented by an order to do the same
thing in case any arrest is made in the
future. The bureau will discourage
hunting by the Indians as far as possible
and at present no passes will be issued
permitting the braves to leave the reser-
walton.
It is probable that small number of
soldiers will be kept in the Jackson's
Hole country district during the re-
mainder of the hunting season, and if it
should be deemed advisable to permit
the Indians to leave the reservation.
the whites will probably not be
permitted to modest them. It is
hoped, however, that the work on
the irrigation ditch soon to be contracted
for will furnish occupation and money
for the Indians. making hunting unnec-
essary for their maintenance during the
winter. No immediate trouble ia antici-
pated as the Indians now are all on the
reservations aud are likely to remain
there for the present.

Congregational Missionary Board Send a
Commission to the Orient.
CHICAGO, Aug. 26,-The commission
appointed by the American Congrega-
tional Missionary board to go to Japan to
look into the condition of its missions in
that country, will leave the early part of
next week. The members of the com
mission are the Rev. James Gibson John
son, pastor of the New England Congre-
gatioual church of this city; the Rev.
A. H. Bradford, of Mont Clair, N. J.;
William P. Ellison, Of Boston, Mass, and
the Rev. ]. L, Barton, secretary of the
missionary board. The other members
of the commission will meet DR.. Johnso
in this city whence the party will go di-
rect to San Francisco, where they will
take ship for Yokohama. They will be
absent three months or more.
The work of the commission, it is said
by persons who are acquainted with its
duties, will be one of the most important
things in missionary effort for many
years. The missionary situation in Japan
has of late greatly changed, and the
American Congregational board feels
that it is necessary to ascertain
whether the character and extent of its
work in that country should be chan ged.
This is the task devolving upon the
commission. 1t is expected that other
missionary boards in this country and in
England will base their future course on
the report of the commission.

verts have occurred in Siam, and it is
not unlikely that they will be semitic
