state for the interior has power to sus-

it says anything prejudicial to order,
authority or morality.
Not infrequently the censor has occa-

He puts the honorifies "o'' or "go'

fixed to a noun co. means honorable,
and to a verb it means honorably;
similarly ego" means august, augustly.
SO the order to the editor OF the Offend

like this:
"Deign honorably to cease honorably
publishing august paper. Honorable
editor, honorable publisher, honorable

Martin White, the man who retained

OAKLAND LOSES ON E.
The Reliance Club Could Not Find

The Gilt Edge baseball team came down
from Sacramento yesterday and proceeded
to do things to the Reliance team OF Oak
land. The visitors did not have any time
to do anything but play ball while they
were on the diamond Ior the boys from
across the bay fought hard and it took
harder fighting TO vanquish them. Nc
Laine, the erstwhile Varsity twirler, was
in the box for Reliance. and though the
strong men from the north at times took
liberties with his twisters, he pitched a
fairly effective game and was steady
throughout. Pitcher Hughes, the Sacra-
mento kingpin, is wonder. In only two
innings could his opponents make tell
ing com blnation against him, and luck
helped them out some even then. After
the third inning the Oakland contingent
heard tie bell rim, merrily for them not
once. The Sacramento players took in
four runs in the fourth, and from that
time on gathered in occasional counters

In the Circus as Well as in Other
Fields
Women have in late years dem monstrated
their ability to do anything in a business way
that man can do, except perhaps do house
work and cook. When it comes to cooking
and minding the baby the new man is forging
to the front in great shape. There are success
full women lawyers, preachers lecturers, musi-
clans, scientists, doctors, engineers, poll IT,
clans, writer's, etc. In Walter L. Mains big
gest of all big shows the new woman proves
her athletic equality with her old-time tyrant
man. IN one ring there are TO be seen two
famous women riding principal act on two
separate horses at the same time. Two ring
mistresses handle the whips ana walk around
the center-pole followed by female clown.
While the object-holders, dressed In velvet
and satin boomers are also of the female per-
suasion, the men who are acting In the same
capacity ia the other ring can do nothing
more.
There is not a line in acrobatic, gymnastic
or aerial business in which women 10 not ap-
pear and in which they do not equal or excel
their male companions. Alter all, the most
hopeful sign in lie to-day is the social eman-
cfpation and qnickened ACTIVITY OF woman.
Her entrance into the commercial. political,
artistic and athletic fields is new to her, and
she Is in teres ted and enth usastc. she acts as

and the JOY OF living. The fact is conspicuous
in the M ain Show this season. AS riders, tum-

Volume Of Spring Business Transacted
Was Disappointing.
NEW YORK, May 81. - Bradstreets
says: Results of the spring trade in
staples, which is now over, are disap-
pointing. The volume Of seasonable
merchandise distributed is less than ex-
pected without taking into account an
improvement in business compared
with a year ago. Nearly all Central
Western and Southern trade centers re-
port business very quiet. Dry goods
continue depressed, cotton products
selling with difficulty, some varieties
only on concessions. The announce
ment Of reduced or passed cotton mill
dividends and that several large estab-
ishments will shut down to enable
Consumption to Overtake Production,
when coupled with the comparative in
difference of to the lowest
prices on record for iron and steel,
would appear to sufficiently charao,,l-..
the actual condition of general trade.
The more favorable features are rela.
tive activity among wooden goods manu-.
facturers, who are working on old or,
ders; improved demand for shoes and
leather; a continuance of the compare
tive activity on the general demand at
Savannah, Memphis, st. Louis, Omaha,
Sioux Falls, Minneapolis and st. Paul,
the better demand for lumber at the
West and in the trade outlook in Louis
lana, Mississippi and Arkansas.
