SIMPSON SPILLED THE SOUP.
Why a St. Nicholas Hotel Waiter Be-
came a Wreck.

Why St. Nicholas Hotel Waiter Be-
came Wreck.
When the waiter spills the soup some
body generally gets mad and the waiter
feels sorry. In one case of that common
sort yesterday it was Manager Smith of the
st. Nicholas Hotel who got mad and guilty
Arthur Simpson at least looked sorry as
he gathered his false teeth out of his
mouth and hair, pinned up gap in his
coat and started for the Receiving Hospital
to have an arm dressed.
The early diners at the hotel were yet
nibbling celery when Simpson praneed in
from the kitchen with hot rice-tomato in
each hand. He had been out since lunch
time, and had returned to duty exhilarated
and joyous. His work was a pleasure;
He can't tell how it happened, but the red
gobs and the pearly grains made a sorry
mess with splash and crash. Manager
Smith didn't care so much for the soup,
but he flushed with rage, nevertheless, as
he faced the unlucky waiter in the kitchen.
The charge of drunk was made and denied,
and then war occurred somehow.
"They didn't do a thing to me" said

.PALO ALTOS new STATION
To Be Erected at Once, and
After Moorish Style of
Stanford Buildings.
WATER WORKS FOR THE TOWN.
An Artesian System Feasible.
Mountain Water Expensive.
Bonds to Be Voted.

The Southern Pacific Railroad will soon
begin work on new station building for
Palo Alto, which has become, with the ex-
ception of San Jose, the most important
passenger station on the road.
Although the income from Palo Alto
nets the railroad on the average $4,000 a
month, and the sale of tickets from that
station alone in some months exceeds
$4,000, the company has been averse to put
ting any money into a new building. The
railroad has acknowledged to the people of
Palo Alto that the station paid, and some
times greater profit than Redwood City,
but Superintendent Fillmore has said that
such profits were necessary in order to
maintain other stations that did not pay

chop and toss 20 manslaughter, as they
say on the race track, suits their purpose,
so facile are their brains in weaving for his
honor tales that hold the necessary amount
of water
Sick men are developed who were never
sick before, deaf men and rheumatics, men
with wives with sore eyes, and many
men who had just obtained jobs who had
been out of work for months. To this latter
class his Honor, who has very keen eye in
the study of faces, is very lenient, and many
a poor fellow to whom detention for exam
ination even would mean the loss of long
sought situation, has reason to thank the
kindness and keen discernment of the
Judge upon the bench. To this class OF
excuses his Honor lends a sympathetic
ear, but to others, to one other in particu-
lar he has the most open aversion. This
other is the claim of exemption advanced
by what the court calls purchase" mem
bers of the National Guard-gentlemen
who produce certificates of honorary men,
bership in the military organization of the
State, for which they have paid, and for
which exemption is guaranteed them under
a law now on the statute books.
"Such law" SAID his Honor, in passing
on one of these certificates last week, sis
an outrage. 1t allows the man who has
$50 to gain exemption from duty which
he owes and allows the burden to rest on
the man who mas not that amount. 1t
should be wiped off the statute books, and
if | am alive at the next session of the
Legislature I shall use what efforts can
in that direction
Several times during the progress of the
trial when certificates of this character
were presented his Honor expressed him
self as being on the point of refusing ex-
cuses on that ground, SO that the matter
might be settled once for all, but rather
than take the chance of making tangle
in the case he refrained.
For this reason it is to be expected that
the certificates of honorary membership in
the National Guard will bob up as usual
to-day and till the end to delay the arrival
of that end as far as possible.

ADVOCATED SOCIALISM.
Point of View Taken by A. III. Sanborn,
Who Is Strong Disciple of
Henry George.

In the opinion of A. II. Sanborn, who
was the principal speaker at the American
section of the Socialist Labor party in
Pythian Castle last night, Socialism is
''both desirable and practicable. Mr..
Sanborn is single-taxer.
He took occasion to score the present
judicial system pretty severely, in the fol-
lowing:
1t is fact that to-day we bow down to our
dead ancestors who are now the dust of the
EARTH as we would to any deity. Why is it
that we allow ourselves to be controlled by men
long dead? Why be dominated by the laws of
the past2 Why go back twenty or thirty CEN
turtles to the legal enactments of the ancients
to govern our conduct of to-day2 Why not
make laws to suit ourselves?
Why should we hesitate to sween ont of
existence with one trace the whole system of
barbarity, monarchy and slavery we have
stupidity retained in our blind allegiance to
the dead past, and substitute an equitable one
in place thereof? Yet, bound as we are nv the
letters OF our laws and customs, it Is almost
impossible to change our constitution so as to
social system.
Our judiciary is gaining in power every day.
1t has been said 1--WE now live under reign of
iIn agnns 10 The power OF the Federal
to sweep aside the will of the people, 1t ought
not to be long before we break down this idol
He thought the Socialistic method was
the scientific one of human government in
contrast with what lie called the present
savage methods, and he argued that it
was the extension of the Democratic idea,
an evolution of REORGANIZATION natural
step IN advance of present conditions.
AS IN politics the idea is to remove
kings, aristocracies and slaves" said he,
so In industry, the idea is to do away
with rents, profits and interest-the land
lord, mlddleman and banker"

some effective publicity without making

lSSlILED By JAPANESE.
How a Lady Missionary Lost Her
Right Bye.
She Says That the Christians We're
Attacked by Ruffans While
Holding Services.

"No, the Japanese did not catch me and
put my eyes out, as has been reported y
said sprightly looking young woman on
the China steamer Peru in midstream, as
she headed for the Pacific Mail dock.
The young lady was Miss Julia Ninlkoff,
a missionary from Boston, who has spent
the last two wears of her life in this work
in YoneZawa a small town about twelve
miles from Yokohama.
The remark was made in reply to ques-
ton concerning her right eye, which had
been destroyed.
The young missionary wore spectacles
with very large glasses, the right one being
dark, so as to conceal the organ which had
been ruined.
at happened in this way" she went on.
"You see the Japanese were in the midst
of the celebration of the anniversary of
the death of a great feudal lord known as
Deimyo who had passed out of this exist
ence many hundred years ago, yet whose
memory is cherished to this day.
During the celebration Christians are not
permitted to hold open-air meetings. On
this occasion, by the way, special permits
sion was granted, and the meeting was in
progress when a large number of the
toughest element of the Japs, or hoodlums
as you would call them here, surrounded
US and began throwing stones and all kinds
of missiles. | was struck by rock in the
eye. 1t was & very violent blow and de-
stroyed the organ instantly.
'No, it was no fault of the authorities, for
many of those who engaged in the rowdy-
ism were arrested and punished"
"Do you find japanese ready converts to
Christian doctrlnes?" was inquired.
"Well, / cannot say that ! do. The Jap
studies his own personal interest deeply,
and if it is to his advantage in many cases
he does SO. Yet the truth of our Christian
teaching is visibly growing, though of
course not as rapidly as we desire. Still,
it is probably all that We should reasonably
expect. 1t takes time to supplant relg-
ious belief older than our own"
''Do you intend to remain away now
that you have left2"
"By no means, exclaimed the lady with
zeal. II return to Boston only on linn
tied vacation, and for the pleasure, of
course, that it will afford me to visit my
home. | hope to return with others better
prepared to prosecute the work that has
taken such firm and deep root in that
kingdom.
''Is there much interest displayed among
the Japanese concerning the war now
going on with China2'
Really, expect you hear more about
the affair here in America than they do
there. At least, you get more details
that is to say, newspaper accounts" and
the missionary smiled. She spoke as
though she was further away from the seat
of war when in Japan than she was in San
