anism suggests that
the brilliant red and yellow autumn
leaves should not all be wasted in mere
wanton outdoor loyeliness when there
are domestic interiors in need of their
Frightening glow Among the best
leaves for interior decorations are ma
pie and oak, They are easy to find in
city and country. and are vivid in coll
oring. The sugar maple and the sill
yer maple are both very brilliant. The
oaks are golden yellow. First in the
list of temporary uses to which the
leaves may be put is the autumn we'd
ding decoration. The bride whose
marriage ceremony is performed at her
summer home in the country stands
In a bower of autumn leaves. which

little village church the altar Is massed

and cardinal flower. Queen Marguer-
ties and ohrysanthemums are also com
bined with the leaves of autumn dec
orations at weddings in country houses
or at farewell teas or dinners given TO
neighboring cottagers before the final
hitting to the city home II is usually
believed that these unworidIy decora-
tons are gathered from the grounds
OF the summer home and are arranged
by the members of the household, but
the truth OF the matter is, unfortun-
ately for romance. that the city florist
sends down the decorations, autumn
leaves and all, accompanied by a man
to put them up. Another very pretty
use OF the leaves is popular with the
florists. In every long. fiat. fascinat-
ing box OF fragile blossoms sent out
from the best shops is placed a spray
OF autumn foliage, down toward the
stems of the flowers. in n place where
there would otherwise be seen nothing
more attractive than green stems on
opening the box. The leaves are to re-
call the summer home to the younp
woman who had just returned to town.
1t is only sentiment. but. as a florist
himself confessed. the flower business
is all sentiment. anyhow" For a din
ner decoration the brightest leaves are
arranged in a wreath in the center of
the table. They are tied with a great
bow of ribbon at one side. The dinner
cards have a big, bright leaf fastened
to them. and the plates. all of the thin
nest plain white china, have a wreath
of tiny gray leaves glued round the
edges and vanished over with white
yarnish. But these are only fieeting
uses for the gorgeous leaves. There
are many ways in which they can be
made a permanent decoration suited
to almost any room. commonplace or
elaborate. and lending to the most in
artistic apartment necessary touch

SUSPECTED OF EVIL INTENT.
Two Mems Actions Cause Commotfou
4 Street.

ON Street.
Reports OF two pistol Shots fired one di-
rectly after the other. caused some alarm
to persons living on / street northeast be-
tween North Capitol and LIST streets. about
l2;3O O'Clock this morning The reports
were heard by Policeman Stevenson of the
sixth precinct station, who made IN in
vestigation which did not result in any ar
rests. 1t was reported that man who
lives at No. 26. on the street mentioned
had feared an attack of highwaymen and
had fired the shots to brighten off the men
whom he thought were going to assault
him. This morning the citizen called at
police headquarters and saw Iieuts Kelly
and Heffner, to whom he explained the
story or his experience. He was walking
south on North Capitol street between X
and l. streets, he said, and when near
Pierce street he noticed two women leav-
ing Pierce street and turning up North
Capitol Two men also came along about
that time, and he heard them saw some
thing to the women.
Not knowing just what might happen he
watched the men closely, and finally they
took IL upon themselves to say something
TO him. Paying no attention to what they
said to him, he resumed his journey home
ward and the men followed. When near
MS home they halted, and fearing there
would be trouble he went in the house and
got his revolver. When he returned to the
front OF the house the strange white men
were still watching and waiting, and in
order to brighten them off and prevent pos
sible trouble he discharged two shots. This
had the desired effect for the men hurried
away. going west toward North Capitol
street.
The citizen who made the report told the
police Eeutenants that he was not certain
whether the men We're highwaymen or
whether their conduct was simply an act
OF rowdyism. 1t is the belief of the police
that the men were under the influence of
liquor and followed the man simply because
they believed he had been watching them.
Descriptions of the men We're given to
the police and the affair is being thorough
ly investigated.

SLAVERY IN CALIFORNIA.


The circulation OF petition in San
francisco, asking the United States
government 10 ab ,llsh slavery in Call,
iornis, calls attention TO meet
iamentsble condition! Whatever
could be said OF negro slavery, 1t could
not be worse than that against
which protest 10 now being
raised, viz, the holding In ab.
iect slavery OF Chinese women
for immoral purposes. The traffic
In this outrageous business is carried OIL
in semi.public manner, aud the poor
human crestures who are its victims
are consigned to an awful fate, with.
out present hope for relief from laws IN
a country that proolsims liberty to all
lis people, In the enjoyment OF free.
dom from involuntary servitude.
The charge Of practical slavery in
California Is not one made by enemies
OF the slats OF Its people, but Proceeds
rom the Inhabitants Themselves,
whose protests do not teem to avail,
and who desire the general govern
ment to take action. Hare "a def
criplion OF the situation there, as Ere.
ssnted In the Sacramento Record
u niou:
As a matter OF fact slavery docs oNist
in California; 10 thrives beneath tho very
eyes Of state, CITY and federal officials,
and very little effort is made by either to
crush 1t out. Indeed it is scarcely for
hidden By officials, while it is n shame.
full and notorious fact that sworn and
qualified officers of tho peace, whose
duty 1t is 10 enforce the laws and report
their infraction, are under salary to tho
slave drivers 10 stand guard over the
human chattels and prevent either their
escape or rescue.
The petition referred to enlauates
from the Chiuess society OF English
ducation, and coming in this form
may prove an effective factor In re-.
moving the ground for the present
allegation that msny Chinese wome
In California are bought and sold for
coin and that force Is employed to
mold them in AFFECT bondage.
