THROUGH CHINATOWN.
A Topekan Relates His Experience
in the Chinese Quarter of Los
Angeles.


A Topeka gentleman who has recent
ly returned from California but who re-
fuses to allow his name to be used was
much impressed while in Los Angeles
by a trip through the Chinese quarter.
In converse ton with a Journal re-
porter he said:
Having been a sort of policeman
myself, the chief of police readily as
signed a sergeant and special to go
with me and another gentleman, with
our wives.
I'VE first called at the Joss house.
Joss was not in, but the smell of his
garments was there. The room was
full of big and little gods. beautiful cur
tains, banners and burning Joss sticks.
Our special handled the sacred things
with fmpunity, going 50 far as to dis
tribute a portion Of the trinkets so
abundant there. By the way, the DO
lice treat these people as if they had no
rights, and the treatment is not re-
sented-On the walls were pasted many
placards, which were explained as the
prayers of the parties posting them
up Daily they go in and look at their
cards.
We next visited the King Bee of
the town. He had a fine place, rich in
decorations, with the handsOmest in
laid furniture have seen. He show
ed us around. and finally seated US at a
ia bic and gave US a sample of Chinese
dishes. A person might worship these
eatableS without violating the great
law. They were unlike anything above
on or beneath the earth. Fish, fowls
and garlic predOminated. Little cakes
little dishes and nuts abundant, and
royal tea The proprietor presented his
little girl, dressed as handsome as a
doll, and pretty WithaI. My wife lifted
the child's skirt to see if her feet were
bound. She quickly put out a pretty
foot that would have discounted TriI-
by's- The father said the binding of
the feet was not practiced in America
We next visited some of the stores
and shops. At this time it was 10
O'Clock at night Without exception
gambling was going on at every place.
We next visited the restaurants The
principal meal of the Chinese is at 10 or
II o'clock at night. Cooking was in full
blast. We were shown through the
kitchen, and the sight was not calcuIa-
ted to sharpen the appetite.
we visited a smoking den. The pro-
pr1etOr had just had an acquisition in
the person of a very handsome girl of
about 20 years. The old chap explain
ed, 'Welly good; pay sixteen hundred
dolly Tor her- He purchased her in
China. An old dried up mummy of a
heather laid himself out on a raised
platform, and with a wire fished out of
a mug a bunch of opium. He held it
over a lamp, where it SiZzled and fixed
for time He then put it into his
pipe, lay down and smoked. and was
fucius.
we next visited an orchestra at
practlce They had a big bass drum

squeaEIy instruments like violins,a horn
or two, and a woman singer. At a sig

MONARCH OF THE SEAS.
The New Iowa Is the Ablest Battleship
Afioat.

The New Iowa Is the Ablest BGtt1eship
Afoat.
The battleship Iowa, which recently
made record of II knots an hour on a
speed test, is a veritable monarch of
the seas. There is no warship ahoat
which she could not meet on the high
seas in single combat and on equal
terms. While she is not nearly SO speedy
as some of our cruisers and has not the
big guns of the Indiana or Massachu-
sets she has an armament beside which
that of the former is like toy pistol to
a cannon, and she would be as steady
as a house in seas which would bury
the gun decks of the latter. The vessels
of the Indiana class are intended for
coast defense, while the Iowa is able to
steam out into midocean and engage
anything that comes along.
The Iowa is $50 feet long and of 70
feet beam. Every time she forces herself
one length ahead she displaces II, 40
tons of water. OF her total weight,
5000 tons is devoted to her armor,
which ranges in thickness from "a
inches to 10 inches. Besides her four

M'KINLEY'S HORSEARRIYES
The Beautiful Kentucky Thorough
bred Reaches Washington.

Washington, April 21-The Kentucky
thoroughbred, Bismarck Jr., which was
purchased for the president some time
ago by a gentleman in Cincinnati ar
rived at the White House stables yes
terday. The horse is a beautiful ami
NAL, spirited, but well broken and train
ed. The horse showed no i'll effects
from his trip and soon after 4 o'clock
Mr.. Mckinley took his first ride astride
his back.
Mr.. Mckinley is very fond of horse
back riding. He does not mount the
horse at the White House, however, ow-
ing to the crowds of curious idlers who
would collect there TO witness the presi-
dent on horseback, but drives out to one
of the country roads in his carriage, to
some appointed place, where he is met
by a groom with the saddle horse.

Banks Loses Her Money.

Decatur. Ill, April 21.-Mrs. Anna Be

WICHITA HAS NO TRACK,
And Has Been Compelled to Decline
the Two Days Meet Assigned
to Her.

Wichita has declined to accept the
state bicycle meet of two days racing,
which was voted to that city by the
division meeting at salina last year
The Wichita people were compelled to
abandon the meet because of the fall
ure of their project to construct a, new
track. Wichita asked Topeka to take
the meet off their hands, but Topeka
declined.
Emporia and Salina, are now being
considered. Salina has made no ap-
nIication for the meet, but Emporia. is
out after it. Emporia has a good track
and enthusiastic wheelmen VIII take
good care of the meet should it be sent
there.
The state racing board will have a
meeting in Topeka soon to fix the state
circuit and decide upon matters per
tanning to the state meet and the dis
tribution of the circuit dates among
the various cities.

torpedo tubes the Iowa's principal arm
ament consists of four - inch guns
mounted in two barbette turrets, one
forward and the other aft. These tur-
rets have ponderous walls of harveyized
steel 1 5 inches thick, behind which the
gunners are safe from almost any shot

sides of the ship are four smaller tur-
rets. each of which contains two inch

missiles that will pierce eight inches of
steel at a distance of two miles.
In addition to these big guns there
are six rapid fire guns, which discharge

FRANK ELLIOTT IN ERROR.
He was Mistaken About the Test of
Standard Company's Oil.

Deputy State Oil Inspector Frank Ell
lott seems to have been mistaken when
the tanks owned by the Standard Oil
company in this city did not show the re-
quired test 40 degrees, as prescribed by
the state law
e. v. Wharton. chief inspector, arrived
in the city yesterday and went at once to
the company's warehouses and gave all
the oils thorough test. The work oc-
cupied several hours but all oils placed
quirement.
As some difficulty was being experience
ed by the Standard Oil company because
of Mr.. Elliott's statements that large
quantity of the oil was unfit for sale, as
shown by the test, Inspector Wharton
himself, has issued to E. NJ Without, To-
cal manager, a certificate showing that
the oils did stand the test, and should not
be condemned.

Much has been done for the veteran
soldier no longer able to take care of
himself, but little notice has been taken
of his wife or the other relatives de-
pendent on him. New York state, how
ever, has just completed a home which
meets this want. It is known as the
Woman's Relief Corps home, because it
would not have been built had it not
been for the efforts of the New York
state branch of that organization. More
than this, it is to be managed by
woman, and women managers of pub
