says the New York Tribune. One OF

ought to be perfectly familiar, leaving

SMOKING BY WOMEN.
IL Has Become a Common Practice in
Aristocratic London Cafes.

who has Just returned from a trip
across the big pond, II was greatly
surprised at the number of women I
saw smoking In public. or course, one
can always see that sort OF thing in
the bohemian resorts and the cafes
p%atronized chiefly by folks from yhe
continent, but 1t was something of a
shock to bump into 1t at such estab-
lishments as the Savoy and the Hotel
Cecil. In both places, and three or
four other equally %aristocratic, / saw
society women putting cigarettes as
coolly as chappies at a roof garden. The

eight or nine people. They were Just
concluding a late supper, and one OF
the ladies, who was the picture of ell
egant refinement. and by no means In
her first youth, produced a jeweIed
cigarette case and passed 1t around.
In a moment everybody was smok-

incident merely to illustrate the prev
alence of the habit, which reminds me,
by the way. that the London OF to-day
is very different from the London of
eight or ten years ago. There is every
where a marked accession of ret
and sprightliness; one notices II in the
shop displays, the theaters. the restau-
rants, and the aspects OF the crowds
at night, and the city in general has
much more the air and manner of
the great capitals of the continent.

Something About The People Lately Taken Into
Our National Family.

by the partition Of Samoa, a few
days ago, Uncle Sam annexes 3S4 square
miles of additional Pacific island ter
ritory, and makes $500 more Malay
Polynesians American subjects. The
five islands falling to us are hardly q
fourth the area Of the entire Samoan
group, yet in many respects we get a
very generous third. Tutuila. the
largest OF these Ave now our territory,
contains 240 square miles, and Is, there-
fore, only a seventh the area of Long
Island. Savaii and Upolou. which fall
to Germany, are each more than dou-
bic Its extent. Nevertheless Tutuila
Is more suited to our wants than either
OF these. Although II is barely men

II lies In An almost direct line between
San Francisco and Australia, and near
ly In the path OF vessels plying be-
tween the Philippines and the pro-
posed Nicaraguan or Panama canals.
Considering this magnificent location
and the fact that the navy last year
began preparations to utilize this bay
for a coaling and supply station, it
would have been folly to have coded 1t
with Tutuila to Germany in exchange
for a larger island.
Americans in Tutuila will enjoy the
most beautiful scenery of the Samoan
islands. Here and there their eyes
will feast upon grottoes and natural
fountains. At many points liquid
lava, .irregularly cooled, has formed
great caverns opening toward the sea
and often communicating inland with
the upper levels Of the cliffs through
hollow shafts of natural formation. AL
though there is considerable rain dur
ing the year to keep the soil moist,
there is no dreary rainy season, as in
the West Indies or Philippines. The
eternal summer keeps vegetable life at
its height the year round.

Tutuila are independent of the two
royal houses Of Malietoa and Tupea,
which have waged the troublesome
native wars. This fact alone will be
advantageous to us. The Tutuilans
are governed by their own hereditary
chiefs, Fulmora. Tutele, Statele and
lie Tun, each Of whom reigns over a
district. Above them all is Maunga, the
great chief Of the whole island. These
tribes are descended from one great
family, known as Leatou. What has
been published In regard to the natives

while he was prospecting for gold ore, are said by competcntauthorlty to be the best beds in the United States. No kaolln found elsewhere in the world is considered better, but the best found in France and on an island in the Baltic Sea is about the same in quality as the San Diego product.
 Stream sold the deposits a few days ago to Earle & Morgan, and Fuller < Riail, of this city, and and Holcomb & McCarroll, of Yuma, Ariz.
 Some months ago Mr. Morgan or Earle & Morgan, took samples of the kaolin to Japan, where he all lowed the pottery manufacturers to make a test of It. It was so satis- factory that the Japanese, whose source of supply in China and Japan is nearly exhausted, were delighted at the prospect of securing new supply, and MT. Morgan was asked to quote priceson 1000 tons a month, delivered in Japan.
 Mr. Morgan did not have the kaolin to deliver, at that time, but he cabled to George Holcomb, ol Yuma, to buy the kaolin deposits This was done by Mir. Holcemb and his associates mentioned above The price paid has been kept secret
 "There are a million tons of the kaolin in sight" said Mir. Holcomb Large quantities have heen given a severe fire test, after pulveriza' ton, and the clay has come out as white as snow and with all the valuable qualities desired. Thi; proves that there is no iron in the kaolin, so often a fatal defect il supposed kaolin. The presence o. iron gives the clay yellow colol after a test, and is proof that the metal is of little value.
 
 "I think the entire output will be shipped to Japan, but if the Nicaragua canal was completed we could supply the factories al New Liverpool, O., and Trenton, N J., which now get their kaolln from North Carolina, Florida, Vermont and France, though the clay from those sections is rather inferior tc our own. Freight rates by raj make it almost impossible to shiI our product East"

TIE Republicans promised the sountry better times and they are fulfilling their promises despite the obstacles their opponents have been throwing in their way. The carp ing critic who will not open his eyes to the industrial and business activity going on around him but who continues to carp and criticise is nothing more than a partisan, and seeks to avoid the truth rather than tell 1t. You may talk anti trust, anti-exparsion, antl-Taritf, anti-sound money and anti-every- thing, but the great mass of the people are paying little attention to these things 50 long as they can get good wages for their labor, good prices for their products and their homes are surrounded by prosperity and plenty.
