iRli N INliktt lllA itlfllA4 Rl hlA NullE' bat somehow they are generally so nice and quiet that they cause no comment or cNcltemeut, but such WAS not the ease with the trial that took place be. fore his honor Judge Jackson, last Fri. day, which took up the greater portion of the day
 The facts in thc ease as ascertaincd from n few less than dozen witnesses are, that Beni Starkie tine defendant, and Minnie JoneS, both colorcd, have been occupying house just back of Judge Snumachcrs office and resi- dencr, and the home of these parties would hardly pass muster if chastity were to he considered. On the morning of the first of this month, the prose cutting witness, Tim callagan. went to the Starkic residence and demanded admission. which was refused. but Tim Was persistent and Minnie relentless, and Tim with all his good looks and persuasive poWcrS, was unable to sc cure tue unbarriug of the door. Tim was determined. but SD Was Minnie. and some time near C o'clock Tim broke in the door-thrcats to that effect had been previously made-whcreupo de fendant Starkie. who had an axe in his hand, let fly at Tins face, which landed square. and also laid Tim out for re- pairs. Of course some of the evidence that went to establish these facts was disputed. hut from the final decision, the court must have found the facts to hc as stated or the defendant would not have been discharged, which was the final ruling in the ease.
 Mr. M. J. Cochran appeared for the prosecution and conducted the case in an able manner, and Judge Schumacher and A. C. Mcbride appeared for the de fendant The ease was as closely con tested as the ability of the lawyers would permit, and from the fact that the room and corridor were full of spectators from start to finish, eyi- denced the fact that the trial had in terested good many of our people.
 The parties most interested have been in the city for some time. and have, so far as we know. never been ill court be- fore. Tim is good fellow, and drink got him into this trouble, which we trust will be lesson to him and q warning in the future that a mans home k his castle and none may enter therein when forbidden, regardless of what the reputation of the house may be-

1t is pleasant to record that, while our expenditures as nation are ex- cessively burdensome, We are having d very prosperous year in our trade with other nations Our foreign trade WAS never so large as now. During the ten months of the present fiscal year ex- ports have exceeded imports by the sum of s5lI,245, ,l95. It is stated that this is the largest balance ever record ed in our favor for the same length of time. And it is to be noted that this is true in spite of the fact that during the year our trade with Cuba has been di- minished from that of few years ago by very heavy figures, having fallen from over 3lO0,OO0,OOo to less than one third that sum in '96-'97, and still low CT ir the current year-EX.

CREMAToRYQUEsTlON BOBs UP

Council failed TO get quorum In
either branch last night. The'roll call
at 7:i5 o'clock showed two members in
the first branch and four In the lower
house. Adjournment was then taken,
also The s o'clock motor, by a few strag-
glers, but shortly after s o'clock nearly
the requisite quota got as far as the
steps OF the city building, and finding
their presence too late, retraced their
paths homeward. VI
There was not much more than the
routine business to be disposed OF with
TIE exception OF the, crematory guess
tlon, which would have cut q prominent
figure, and tho resignation OF Mr.. G. b.
Mcdonald, member OF the second
branch from the Second ward. Mr.
Mcdonald has accepted position tat
Slstersvllle, with the Wilson G. Holli-
day planning mill company, and change
OF residence induced his resignation.
The crematory question. would have
come up again In the petition o. the
Wheeling Butchers Association, asking;
council to permit n change from the
Sixth ward location to Fulton. The
petition contains the names OF forty
butchers, In addition to many Fulton
citizens. As stated exclusively In Nom
days Intelligencer. the butchers are
willing to cooperate with Mr.. Rowland
and are DESTROYS Of having him locate
his utilization plant on the site now
used by the butchers for similar pur-
pose. Mr.. Rowland has agreed to the
proposition, hence all that Is necessary
Is to get council to give Its endorse
ment. a5
The Sixth ward councilmen favor the
Fulton site, quite naturally, Of course,
but there is opposition to the change
from the East End. Mr.. Zoeckler, Of
the butchers association, was on hand
with the petition last night, and stated
that while some people In Fulton
might oppose the new plant the major
tty would prefer 1t to the one now In
use by the butchers, because It would
be less offensive. Mr.. Zocckler claims
the association has $4,000 invested in
It's plant, and unless the plan proposed
Is accepted, the investment will be a
Ssiad loss, on account OF plant In
the Sixth ward.
The matter will come up at the next
meeting OF council and 1t will occa-
sion an Interesting fight. An obstacle in
the way OF the change is the lack OF the
city's control OF the plant when outside
the municipality. ..-... ~

OF the Chinese iInisreatingiy Related by
Mrs. Hamilton, a Returned aiissio nary.
Their Fiiiai Plsty commsnded-T They
Know How TO Cheat. fsis
The audience assembled in the lecture
room OF the First Presbyterian church
last night, heard a delightful talk on
China, given by Mrs. Hamilton, wife Of
Rev. VIM b, Hamilton Mrs. Hamilton
with her husband has recently returned
from the Flowery Kingdom after a i've
years stay there in missionary work,
and her powers OF observation were
used to good effect. In her lecturel last
night she wore the native costume, and
her entertaining style made her effort d
treat, indeed. N; a
{ She described the peculiar traits and
customs OF the Chinese people, and paid
tribute to their flllai pfety. Their love
for children Is also great, and Mrs.
Hamilton related an instance OF II that
occurred In Central China, where she
was stationed. A mob OF natives had
come prepared to attack a mission.
When the spectacle OF a baby's smiles at
the window impressed them SO strongly
that they retreated. There are good
points In the doctrine OF Confuclus, she
said. good moral teachings. yet the CHI
nese lamentably need religion. The
country Is governed ,corruptly. The
higher officials cheat those under them,
and the next class, In turn, cheats the
people. They need the light OF the gos-
pei. q nv ms n III Z
I. China was civilized for ages before
Romulus built Rome, but for lack OF the
gospel and under corrupt hands the ma
lion Is crumbling to decay. It needs u
system OF education to bring up an up.
right and true class OF people. AL
though civilized for centuries, primitive
methods are still in vogue. Ancient and
crude farming Implements are used.
and the modes Of conveyance were
amuslngly described by Mrs. Hamilton.
She displayed q miniature barrow used
10 carry travellers, and also exhibited
chop sticks, Chinese shoes, Idols, thin
bic. woman's head dress, hair comb, and
many other articles attractive TO fem
inlne eyes. J; "a
Mrs. Hamilton lamented the fact that
so much OF the land Is given over to the
cultivation OF the poppy, from which Is
extracted opium. The opium vice, she
said. far overshadowe1 others. The
Chinese drink liquor, but opium Is their
greatest curse. In concluding Mrs.
Hamilton urged for more attention to
missionary work in China. In answer
to questions about the climate, she said
there We're snow and ice there In the
winter. but the houses were poorly heat
ed. The natives kept warm by wearing
garments padded with cotton. Her talk
contained many interesting facts, and
Rev. DR.. Cunningham paid Mrs. Hamll-
ton a deserved compliment for the treat
all present enjoyed. Several Cinnamon
CT this city were interested listeners.

PROPER FOOD FOR
 THE CONVALESCENT
RED CROSS socIETY's NEW DE-
 PARTURE.
Another Public Meeting to Be Held by the Local Organization
 on Saturday.

The Red Cross hospital tent at the Pre- sidio has been converted into a restora- tion tent Ca diet kitchen), where soldiers may receive suitable food for convales- cents. The Red Cross always tries to do that which is most needed and now that the division hospital has been improved, after consultation with the surgeons in charge, the San Francisco society decided to undertake this department of the work. The tent is situated near General Miller s headquarters, and is rapidly being put in order, and will be the supply department of the society's work at the Presidio: With f1rst-clasS cook in charge of the broths, 1t will bring needed strength back to many of the soldier boys
 It is now unnecessary for the society to supply the division hospital with eggs and milk, as it has done for many weeks, as Major Matthews can now procure them through the Government.
 Francisco Red Cross held yesterday it was decided to ask the State Society to officially apply to the National Red Cross Society, asking 1t to request the Govern ment to supply suitable rations for the hot climates our boys are in. It has been found that pork and beans are oood ra- cause of much unnecessary sickness and suffering in climates like Cuba and Ma nila.
 Charles w. Moore, 1909 Webster street, Is greatly interested in this subject, and suggests that the parents and friends of the First California, now in Manila, make a uHlleO eHOTl 10 ODldlH pTOpeI LOOu LOT the boys who are not yet i'll and do not get any of the Red Cross supplies, as they are necessarily for the sick. Friends inter- ested in this work should communicate with MT. Moore.
 Mrs. Moore visited St. Luke's Hospital yesterday, and reported seven patients there. pr. Woolsey. operated on one most successfully yesterday. c. V. Gibbs con- tinues his kindness. and is now sunnlying special nurse for one of the patients.
 The Del Monte Milling. Company has volunteered to supply all cereals needed in the restoration tent at the Presidio.
 The public meeting of the San Francisco Red Cross will be held on Saturday at 2 o'clock, in Century Hall, on Sutter street, above Polk. A full report will be given of the work of the society during the past two months. Mrs. Louise Humphrey Smith will give a patriotic recitation and Miss Carolyn D. Roper will sing My Native Land" Cby Franz von Suppe), ac- companied by Miss Inez Strauch. All members of the society and interested friends are invited to be present.
 Mrs. l.. Baker sent donation of $50 to assist in furnishing the convalescent home at the Presidio.
