proves, on the closer acquaintance
which his visit to this country is now
yielding. no less attractive as man
than as writer. His public readings
from his own works seem to give his
large audiences the highest satisfac-

dining through which he has been put
since lie landed he has shown himself
the kindliest and most unassuming of
guests of honor.
Mr.. Hawkins is now thirty-four years
old. He began life as lawyer, and in
1892 he made vigorous but unsuccess-

began to write stories. He made his

MASS MEETING

to BE Held in Chicago.

OF Americanized and Native born Chin csc
to BE Held in Chicago.
CHICAGO, Nov. 3.-Americanized and
native-born Chinese will appeal to con-
grcss for the right of suffrage and ask
that body to repeal the Gary anti-Chj-
nese law passed in 1882. A public mass
meeting will be held at Central Music
hall next Saturday and prominent Chi
nese from all over the United States
will address the meeting. They will
declare that wrongs have been infict-
ed upon them since they have been re-
fused the rights of citizenship and will
ask the aid of the people of the United
States to help them in their cause.
This, it is said, will be the first time
that the Chinese shall have openly de-
clared themselves. They have organized
the Chinese Equal Rights League of
America, with offices in this city.
Wong Chin Foo is president of the or
ganization. In an interview he said:
we want Illinois, the place where
Lincoln, Grant and Logan called their
home, to do for the Chinese what the
north did for tine Negroes. Why should
we not have voice in municipal and
national affairs, like other foreignersP
There are $4,000 Chinese in this
country desirous of becoming citizens.
"In 1882 an outrageous law was
passed by congress. BY that law the
rights and liberties of nearly 25O. 600
lawful and industrious citizens were
swept away. We will now ask con-
gress to restore us the sovereign rights
we once enjoyed, which are held by ey-
cry other race who comes here. Those
who wish to become voters have
been living in this country from ten to
forty years Their financial and social
interests are all here and they have
learned to love America better than
they did China. They have acquired
American ideas and habits, which have
rendered their residence in China al
most impossible. The situation has
now come to a stage where we must
ask for our rights"

Production Falling of.

SIsTERsvILLE, Noy. 23.-Last week
was very quiet one in oil circles, and
there is practically nothing of interest
to review. The only really good thing
that can be spoken of is the fact that
there is every indication tor an advance
in the price Of crude petroleum. The
report of the pipe lines show that the
shipments are heavier and the runs
lighter than they have ever been before.
The production is falling off in all pools
and the shippers cannot get the oil they
need.

hours hard labor. If he chose tie lat

the cobbler reached the Jail he said he
would pay the fine. The governor found
he would have to take it. "And now"
said the cobbler, II want my fare

discovered there vas no alternative;

True Americanisn.

Behold what a great fire q little
matter kindleth! Senator Summers
speech on the Alabama question, which
excited only passing notice here at
tnat time, set all England ablaze. The
reason OF this is plain. The English
people have been constantly deceived
by Americans travelling in that coun-
try as to the real state of feeling to-
ward them in the United States. There
are but few Americans who are repub-
dcans or democrats to the core; and
when they go abroad and dine at the
tables of English monarchists they
shed their Americanism with alacrity,
and toady to the ignorance and big
otry OF their entertainers, and assever-
ate that the warmest fraternal feelings
are cherished by the people of the Unit
ed States for their English brethren"
whereas the fact is, there is a strong
and deep-seated feeling in America Of
resentment or hostility to Great Brit
ain. Do not misunderstood us. We
are not for war with any nation: on
the contrary, we are for building up
this nation in wealth, in civilization, in
refinement, in political strength, in mil
itary power, In sll things that go ia
make US broad and tall and great; and
then we are for having this nation, in
the majesty of its might, stand fol
peace, for humanity and q common
brotherhood. Is there not, at last, te
DO realized on earth the conception OF

great and too numerous to be anything
else but magnamimous and kind and
loving? Let us give the pulsations Of
