Cnildren'S Sailor Hats
An Explanation.

We formerly carried two dis
tinct stocks of Straw Sailor Hats
for boys and girls-one in the Mil
linery and one in the Mems De-
partment. Recently we consoli-
dated the stocks and placed them
in the Mems Hat Department,
where there is more space to dis
play and sell them.
The two stocks together give us
a great variety of styles. We are
sure we can please every one.
All the wide brim Sailor Hats
formerly sold in the millinery room
at 81 have been reduced to soc.
Some of the hats are plain white
with white silk ribbons, others
white straw with green, black or
blue fancy edges.
We also offer ten styles of wide
brim Sailor Hats, plain or in fancy
combinations, at 25c each.

THE CANNY SCOT.
Examples Illustrating His Economy

On his first visit to Aberdeen an Eng

ceived marks of kindness from one Of

hand way on his departures:

people come up to London don't put up

Six months passed and the English

to his surprise, he received one morning
the following note:
my dear friend: AS myself, my
wife, and four children are coming up
to London for fortnight, we will be
glad to avail ourselves of your kind in
vitation.''
Facing the situation with unques-
tionable courage the Southerner put
himself to unutterable inconvenience to
accommodate his guests. He took them
everywhere, paid for everything, and,
at the end of the stipulated time, they
announced their departure. The host
accompanied them to the station and
in the fullness of his gratitude at the
exodus invited the father to have a
parting drink.
Come along, old fellow. What is it
to be? Whisky and soda, as usual? Two

A comely maiden had among her nu-

she had given her promise to another

pened that within the first year the
young husband died and the widow be-
thought herself of her old sweetheart
and gave him the coffin to make.
He did SO, and allowing what he con-
sidered a decent time to elapse. he
again proposed. Alas, he again was
too late.
Strange to say the second husband
was short-lived and again the constant
carpenter had the coffin to make
Then he resolved to cast delicacy
aside and just as he drove the last
screw firmly home he touched the arm
of the twice widowed fair one and

Has anybody spoken to We yet?'

THE POULTRY EXHIBITION.

The poultry exhibit now open at the
Pavilion is one of such extent, variety,
excellence and interest that we are
pleased to say to all the people of the
city that a visit to the Poultry Asso-
cations exposition well repays. There
has not been given to the raising of
poultry and the encouragement of pro-
duction in that line, the attention that
California interests demand.
The reproach should be removed that
a very large proportion of the eggs
used in California are imported, and
that the same is true Of poultry used
for food. We are able to raise all the
fowls we need and a surplus. and all
the eggs the market demands and a
surplus. Assuredly conditions are all in
our favor, and that they have not been
improved upon Is to our discredit The
exhi bition of the State Poultry Associ-
alton is one of the first order, and we
are assured that 1t has not been sur
passed upon the coast In extent, and
that In the matter of quality 1t is one of
the best ever held in the United States.

PRIVATE USE OF PUBLIC FUNDS.

While bills are rushing in it Is to be
hoped that some thoughtful member of
the Legislature will introduce a meas
ure providing that 1T shall be deemed a
felony ON the part of any person or of
fetal, or body Of county, town or city
governors, to lend any public money to
banks or private corporations or per-
sons, or to intrust public funds to the
care or custody of any person other
than those prescribed by law, or to per-
NIT public money to be mingled with
the funds Of any bank, corporation or
business house.
If 1t is said that the law by direc-
ton and inference now forbids such use
of public funds, we reply that it is
lacking in the matters of penalty and
definiteness. With the example of Ta-
coma. Chicago and other communities
before us. this State cannot afford to
take the risk that such unlawful Gus
tody Of public funds involves.
But that is a purely selfish reason,
though a good one. There is another
equally as strong, namely, that 1t is a
wrong to permit anyone to use public
funds as capital to fortify private bus
mess, a wrong to all taxpayers and to
others not privileged TO such use
The Legislature by means of an Act to
regulate the care and custody of public
funds, should make declaration on this
subject so definite and unmistakable
that there can be no evasion of its pol
icy and no misinterpretation or twist
ing of the law.

The news comes from apparently re-
liable sources that General Weyler is
to be recalled. That will, If effected,
not probably weaken the insurgent
cause It may remove a good deal of
cause of complaint, but that it will
have the effect Of lessening the vigor Of
the rebels we do not anticipate. If the
Cubans are not in deadly earnest in
the effort to achieve independence, then
history gives us no record of a people
resolved to do or die. Here we have
an island of not large proportions, with
but about one-half of its area capable
Of sustaining a large population, in
habited by mixed races and long op-
pressed by a strong power, presenting
a spectacle that is anomalous in his
terry; a comparatively small body Of
insurgents having no treasury, ILL
armed and ill-provided with the essen
tials for successful war, defying for
more than fifteen months the armies
of a nation strong and powerful COM
commanding the sympathies of a large
part of the civilized world. Spain has
sent against them the flower of its
armies, its most skilled Generals and
it's modern navy, and though she holds
all the chief ports of the island, COM
mands nearly all its approaches, and
has resources giving her men, money
and munitions of war to her full need
yet she is unable to suppress the re-
bellion or make any considerable ad-
vance into the heart of the country.
Such a spectacle has not been wit
messed, in modern times at least Ac-
cording to all traditions and rules of
war the rebellion should, under such
conditions, have been crushed out in a
few weeks but apparently 1T is as wide
spread and virile as ever The change
from Weyler to some other commander
may result in less inhumanity and bru-
tality, but it will not lessen the efforts
of the insurgents to free Cuba from
Spanish rule.

While the California Legislature is
making what we fear will be vain
effort TO reduce the number of legisla-
tive attaches to a reasonable minimum,
there is on foot in Washington move
ment to reduce the number of Federal
employees in the civil service. 1t is be-
lieved at the National Capital that of
the 100000 persons on the Federal off,
cial payroll fully $4,000, If not $4,000,
can be dispensed with without injury to
the service. That is to say, the remain
ing 10000 can perform all required
service without being burdened with
too much labor or responsibility. and
yet not work more than eight and nine

An Eastern paper says that a rich
woman's dress costing $500, If repre-
sented by coin, would buy 1000 loaves
Of bread for the poor. Indeed, bread
must be high in the East We sup
posed that $500 would buy at least
5000 loaves. But the statement is made
to illustrate what might be done with
the money the rich woman expends for
fine dress, and to that extent to en-
courage hatred Of those who have rich
dresses. So far as extravaganza is con-
cerned, it will find no apologist among
sensible people, nor will the arrogance
of the rich when made manifest. But
the rich dress, no matter what it is, pays
labor somewhere; if in this country, all
the better. It's manufacture and final
outfit is a means Of scattering the cost
among artisans; if those of home, so
much the better also. Just SO far as
the dress, therefore, conserves industry
| it is not necessarily bad thing that it
is made and worn. So far as its ex-
cess of cost goes beyond the proper re-
ward of labor that produces it is con-
cerned, it is extravaganza and repre-
sents besides improper distribution of
the rewards of toll. 1t is infinitely bet
ter that there shall be rich dresses worn
and thrown aside, and more rich dresses
ordered, than that the cost of the same
shall be boarded, or even increased in cent
per cent. paper and bonds, which rep
resent the necessities of those who have
to borrow and pay the toll. 1t would
probably be better If a hundred-dollar
dress were worn by the rich woman,
and the extra 5000 used in relieving
honest distress, by helping the sufferer
to help himself Therefore, the best
uses Of given money are those in which
direct giving and indiscriminate charity
are avoided, and the recipient is aided
to self help and not made dependent.
But so far as the case Of the $500 dress
goes, the same paper that gives the
| illustration Is an enthusiastic supporter
of Mr.. Bryan and his cause. That gen
tleman is just now swinging around the
circle for the second time, but on this
trip he is charging from 81 900 to $4,000
lecture, and is sometimes receiving
more. He refused point blank to lecture
in Albany, N. Y, on a guarantee OF
$500, and wanted $1,000. Now, If Mr.
Bryan would take $500 Of the easily won
81 900 and $1,000, and do with it as his
champion wishes the rich woman to dc
with the sum represented in her fine
dress, how many loaves Of bread would
he be able to give to the poor? If the
rich woman Is extravagant in spending
$500 for one dress, Mr.. Bryan is an ex-
tortioner in wringing out of hard times
| $1,000 for one talk.
