An Paw But tho Newspaper.

.San Francisco Chronicle: A unique
Japanese organization has set itself up
In this city. and beneath a humble roof on
Golden Gate avenue gives 10 its members
employment. board and lodging and an
interest in the dividends OF four separate
businesses: In the basement is a laun-
dry; the ground floor is occupied by a
cheap restaurant, whife upstairs are the
offices OF a Japanese newspaper, an en-
ployment bureau and rooms for sleeping.
In all the departments almost forty Japa-
nese are employed and share eqiallly In
the general earnings, besides being all
lowed small, though regular, salaries.
The society is called the Kioreisha. and
has been running now for a year and a
half, constant additions having been made
during that time. Members OF the Kior-
elisha belong also TO the gospel society,
with headquarters on Geary street. and
thus are added social advantages TO the
features of membership.
During the morning hours the building
resembles a hive of busy bees, in the
newspaper Office. upstairs Japanese com
p%ositors are swiftly setting type; the ed
ltor, with knit brows, is dotting down
editorials; an advertising solicitor rushes
In and out with copy, and there Is every
phase OF a great American newspaper re-
produced In Japanese miniature. The ed
itor acknowledges sadly that all depart
ments Of the Kioreisha pay, except the
newspaper. 1t is issued each afternoon
about 3 o'clock, and is said to have a
circulation of about zoo. A portion OF the
writing is in English, but the advertise
ments and main part OF the paper are in
Japanese.
When the noon hour strikes there Is an
exodus from every part of the building to
the restaurant. This pays well, having
not only the patronage OF japanese, but
also OF white people. 1t is conducted on
the same general plan az the many other
japanese restaurants in this city. In this
part OF the building fifteen men are en-
ployed.
The manager of the Kioreisha Is G..
koga. The direction OF the affairs OF the
society is left to a committee. and at the
most trivial cause this learned body Is
rounded up and decides by vote what shall
he done. The leaders of the organization
are educated Japanese OF good standing.

Winnie was sitting on the edge Of n trunk

Mrs. Caerlyon, seated at q little distance,
