China Wiggles Along on Free
Silver, so They Think This
Country Should.
ALL SAVE ONE NATIVE SONS.
The japanese Is 81 Years of Age and
Cares Not to Leave the
United States.

A Chinese voter! That doubtless sounds
funny. but nevertheless the number of
Celestials who cast the ballot in this City
form an appreciable quantity.
OF course, they are native born, and,
with single exception, are Native Sons
of the Golden West. Two years ago the
number of descendants OF Japhet that
exercised their prerogative of walking to
the booths and depositing their ballots in
company with their brethren who look
upon Shem as an ancestor aggregated
forty. This year the vote will be lighter.
Exactly seventeen Chinese and one Jap
anese exercised the necessary agility to
reach the Registration Office in time to be
registered. Every man of them lives in
the For:y-third Assembly District, and,
with two exceptions, in the Sixteenth Pre-
einct. Those two are in 4he Twelfth Pre-
cinct.
The names of the Chinese who will vote
this year are, in connection with their pre-
cincts and homes, as follows:
Twelfth Preeinct-Wong Ding Yu, mer-
chant, 1905 Stockton street; Ian Yuen
teenth Precinct-Kong Yu, laborer, S07
Dupont street; Wong Wing, dressmaker,
10 Sullivan alley; Ching Tuck Toy,
laboreT, 800 Washington street; Sue Lock,
insurance agent, $40 Dupont street; Lee
Kin, merchant, $50 Dupont street; See
Too Joo, apprentice, 1016 Stockton street;
Lee Hoy, igar-manufacturer, lila Stock.
ton street; Wah Ting Ho, artist, 11I6
Stockton street; Leong Geet, laborer, 10
Brennan place; Ng Gun, capitalist, 81
Stouts alley; Poon Gay, undertaken, 743
Pacific street; Wing Fook, merchant, 7O6
Sacramento street; Wing Fook, interpre-
ter, II Bartlett allev; Chun Dick, CONNER
cial agent, 743 Pacific street; Chun Lung,
merchant, SO Spofford alley; Chez Lee
cigar anufacturer, TIA Stockton street.
Every one of these Cinnamon can speak
English. The majority of them are going
to vote for Bryan. Their reason is, that
China is free silver country, and they
can't understand why the United States
cannot manage to wiggle along on 53-cent
dollars if the Flowery Kingdom can.
This was said with an air which would
imply Chinese financial methods to have
attained perfection. Tim Cox, the only
japanese IN San Francisco who will vote
at the coming election, and perhaps the
only one in California. is a cook employed
at 1903 Powell street. He is 81 weary old,
has lived here all his life, and told the
registration clerks that he never had any
inclination to leave this country.

There are fewer suicides in Ireland than
in any other country.

Made a Good Catch, but There
Was No Peace During
the Trip.
SUICIDE ON THE SHIP BOHEMIA
Lighthouse-Keepsr Lime Thinks h
Is on the Track of the Peri.
Wrinkle.

There was considerable trouble on the
codhshing schooner La Ninfa during the
recent voyage. Captain Dolland and his
officers could not agree, and in conse-
quence the first and second officers were
dlsrated and sent into the forecastle,
while the boatswain was promoted and
helped the master to navigate the vessel
to San Francisco.
Ot course there are two sides to the
story. Captain Dolland asserts that his
officers were thoroughly incompetent,
ana the men gay the skipper was over
bearing and tyrannical. The men de-
clare that on one occasion the second
mate gave an order that threw the La
Nina up into the wind. and that he did not
know what command to issue in order to
get her away on her course again. The
schooner is going to Hunters Point to
dry out her Goldfish, and after that the
troubles OF the crew will probably be aired
IL court.
The American ship Bohemia, which ar
rived from Sydney, n. S. W., last Wednes-
day evening, had a rather eventful trip.
The japanese steward grew respondent

called him he was not 10 be found and
careful search of the ship did not show a
trace OF him. The master was finally
forced TO the conclusion that the Jap had
jumped overheard during the night.
Captain Olsen of the schooner John D.

bark Undaunted and will go out in COM
mand of her. Captain Lewis, who was
mastertof the Undaunted, will assume COM
mand of the ship Kennebeck.

The PICTURE
OF HEALTH

Many people have spent half their lives
in seeking the recovery of wasted health
and strength, and then, in the majority of
cases, been compelled to give up the
search-no health for them. And yet
where have they searched? Not among
the new fields? No. Medicines, drugs,
ailopathy, homeopathy, everything old,
tried and proven failures.
Take look into the present, the modern
method OF restoring health-electricity
1t is universally success. 1t is worth a
trial. You who have failed in other
directions give it chance. 1t is life.

There seems to be no question as to
the practical utility Of the new though
crude wind engine which is now
coming into use i'll some parts Of the
west. According to the description, it
resembles the paddle wheel of q stern
wheel boat. with shaft 10 to Il feet
long, ~ to 16 feet across, with six or
eight arms. The lower half of the wheel
is shielded from the wind, SO that the
air acts only upon the upper vanes. A
crank upon one end of the shaft con-
meets with the pump. Power can be in
definitely increased at any time by SIM
ply increasing the length. The wind
acts upon this sort of paddle wheel from
all points of the compass except two,
and it seems to require no governor,
but simply pumps moro during a storm.
No tower is provided for, and it is
placed so that the radial arms will be
clear of the ground. One of these wheels
