Japan and China are again having
little difficulty. but it is probable that
China. in view OF the result Of the late
war, will yield gracefully to the de-
mands of the island Kingdom It
seems that some Of the Chinese prov
inces have been having some anti
Japanese riots. and incidentally de-
stroying Japanese property. japan de-
mands that decree be issued ordering
officials and people TO respect foreign
property and life; that rioters and Of
ficiais be punished; that Japan be paid
10000 taels for property damaged. and
that Japan be allowed to establish new
settlements. Japanese papers contain
strong pro-American editorials and
express the hope that the United States
VIII hold the Philippines.

The great number OF suicides lately,
especially among old people, suggests
the need of doing everything possible
TO add 10 the interest OF life and make
1t easier for everyone to introduce
cheerfulness into the daily round and
common task" This can best be done
with the young. School chill
dren sholld be taught plenty
of bright songs, Of kind that
will come back 10 them in after life and
dispel gloom They should be given
an interest in art and music. Espe-
cially they should be educated TO love
and cultivate flowers. They should be
taken on summer excursions and
shown the wonders OF botany In ev-
cry conceivable way the beauty of com
mon things, both in city and country
should be opened up 10 the young. Il
this were done men and women would
have more to think about than selfish
or family troubles. They would fall
back upon their mental treasures AMI
npon all-bountiful nature when gloomy
days came upon them They would
brood less and would not think of end
ing their existence II everybody
would devote their lives more to the
pursuits of happiness than they do
there would be fewer suicides

How a Sacred Bird OF Siam Was Snug
gied Into SAN Diego.

The voice was rather loud but not dis
agreeable, and the tone somewhat muf1ed.
as OF a person half choking with laughter.
Inc salutatlon came to the newsgatherer
OF the San Diego Times as he was on his
daily perambulations about the city, and
was traced to handsome blue-black bird
IN cage hanging under the shade of a fig
tree at the residence of DIR. Gildea, on Six
teenth street, near II.
AS the reporter approached nearer he
was received with more laughter and in
qulries as to whether he came to see the
'Mlno," II his health were good, etc
a Few inquiries directed to pleasant
faced lady near by elected the information
that the bird was the sacred Aino of Siam.
Which as a nesting had been smuppled
from the temple where it was bred by a
rowing sea captain and sold to DR.. Gildea at
Honolulu about eight years ago.
Minnie, as she is called, is about half the
size OF a crow and nearly as black In the
sunlight the feathers take blue and green
tlnge, and there is a spot of white upon
each wing and a necklace of bright yellow
about the throat
The bill, which is large and strong
tapers to sharp point and is orange-hued
near the head and lemon-colored at the tin.
The prominent eyes are dark and bright,
feet and legs lemon-colored.
The bird is valued at $3.50, but specimens
have been known to bring 81 900 in the
United States, where but few of them have
ever been brought.
The species is carefully guarded in Siam,
and as none are ever sold they can only be
obtained surreptitiously

CITY ELECTION.

The city election on Monday was un-
eventful and the interest was not as
great as 1t usually has been heretofore,
owing perhaps. to the disagreeable
weather. The number of votes cast
was 32S against 346 last year. Quite a
number did not feel sufficiently inter-
ested TO vote.
The result IS that the Citizens ticket,
with the exception of one councilman,
is elected:
