One night several months ago, during
one of his fits of jovial hilarity, Talbot
and a coterie of boon com mpanions wan
dered up Mason street TO a sporting re-
sort in the 100 block in search of rest and
recreation. They apparently found it, and
all at Talbot's expense. for when morning
dawned and a string of cabs bore the party

may be true that some new hands make
only that much, but when their week Is
ended they don't have TO pay back part OF
their wages for the steam furnished to
run their machines nor for repairs to old,
worn-out machines, as in some or the
whlte factories, where girls sometimes
nave to pay to learn, and where they are
charged 90 cents for motor power and D
cents for two needles, so that when the
week is up the work of new hands is
virtually done for nothing for some time.
NO such practice prevails in this Chlnese
factory, and whatever work girl turns
out she is paid for, and no one Degrudges
her what she gets.
1t is not true, either, that Chinese keep

allowed to mix with the white girls. AS
Tor the Chinese bosses themselves they
might serve as examples TO the white en-
ployers, for they always act in perfectly

Republican Executive Council on
Mckinley, the Platform aud
Suffrage.
The Council Will Have Permanent
Headquarters and Boom Organi-
zation Work.

The Republican Executive Council held a
comparatively brief but an important and
spirited regular meeting in Judge Bahrs'
courtroom last evening under the guild
ance of President NJ. Cooney and Secre-
tary Oscar Tolle.
The council made three declarations on
motion of S. NJ. Williams, all of which
were adopted with applause, especially the
first ore, which was as follows:
The Hon. William McKinley of Ohio is tI1e
choice of the Republican Executive Council OF
California for President of the United States
aud in the event of his nomination the council
shall use all legitimate means and make all
honorable efforts tor his election.
The other expressions which were put in
the form of declarations rather than reso-
lutions were as follows:
The council heartily approves the platform
of principles adopted by the Republican State
Convention recently held in the city Of
Sacramento.
The Women's Republican State Central Clut
of California is entitled to much credit for the
work performed in the interest of universal
suffrage in this State.
Then the following resolution was
adopted with hearty applause:
Resolued. That this council has the utmost

Buchanan street, the house adjoining the
one burglarized. The necessity of cutting
the two holes in the door is accounted for
by the fact that in addition to the usual
lock which is generally used upon such
doors there was on this one bolt few
inches above the lock. The thieves after
having cut the first hole and shooting the
lock bolt back found that they could not
gain an entrance by reason of the bolt.
Consequently it was found necessary to
cut another, which was done, and the bolt
removed. From here an entrance into the
yard was gained aud access obtained TO
the back porch, where the kitchen window
was forced open by being pried with a
jimmy from the lower sill, where an in
dentation was left by forcing the iron
under the window-frame.
Through this window an entry was
made, when the kitchen door was un-
locked, through which free passage into
the house was made easy.
The thieves evidently lost no time in set
ting about their work, with an evident de-
termination TO gut the premises and after
ward set it on fire. This was made mani.
fest by their having removed the burner:
on the gas gets in the dining room and
turning on the gas in full force. The ga:
had been ignited, permitting the fame to
reach the ceiling, when the paper would
easily catch rire and in time spread to the
woodwork and consume the entire build
ing.
Beyond all this an attempt to take the
life OF August Schmitt the proprietor
whom the burglars had chloroformed il
his bed while asleep, adds to the crime
much darker hue and goes to show tha
neither life or property had any value ir
the estimation of the vagabonds who en-
tered Mr.. Schmitt's house.
The time of the burglary is accounted
for by the movements of the family during
the early part of the evening. Marti1
