The souvenir, which is a work of art, is

for the President and is printed upon satin.
painted by hand. II is pronounced a most
delicately beautiful piece of work by all
who have seen it.
Mr. Bulkley made the presentation,
speaking briefly. as follows: Mr.. Presi-

souvenir. the work of Bailey, Banks &
Biddle, of Philadelphia, in behalf Of that
firm and OF the National Peace Jubilee,
whose labors you have so vastly aided by
your words of encouragement and by your
attendance upon the various exercises of
the Peace Jubilee programme" The Presi-
dent in reply. congratulated the members
of the committee upon the great success
that had attended their efforts. success
all the more commendable because of the
many obstacles they were compelled to
combat He felicitated the committee up
on the conspicuous beauty of all the fea-
lures Of the programme and hoped that
the whole affair had received proper and

Opportunity makes the actor and when
the same chance gives different results, the
interpreting factors must be of different

verdict of the Washington public is plain

rose, yet all were unit upon its final fall.
Pathos and power are paramount in his

moods Of Sir Jasper. and each comes to

last act is a revelation. in being SO di-

DECENTRALIZATION PROCESS.

Decentralization" is a term which Is
now applied to that process which renders
certain substances unfit for human con-
sumption. The process has become ne
cessity in modern times, in order to pro-
mote fairness in commercial competition
and to cheaper certain commodities when
used exclusively in industrial operations.
Thus few years ago the manufacture CT
caffein was almost monopolized by Ger
many on account of the fact that tea in
tended for human consumption in this
country was too expensive to extract. Ow-

English scientific manufacturers, a revis-
ed regulation was framed a few years ago,
according to which damaged tea could be
admitted duty free provided that 1t was
"denatured" and rendered wholly unfit for
human consumption by treatment with
lime and asafoetida. Tea treated in this
way is now used proftably for the manu-
facture of caffein, and England has become
the chief seat Of the manufacture. and has

Gold Finds at Ascension Bay.

Vice Consul Taylor writes to the State
Department from Ensenada, Mexico, in
re gard to the discovery of very rich gold
placers near the San Jose and Santa Clara
Mountains, within one league of the Pa
cific Coast. The port is Ascension Bay.
There are already, Mr.. Taylor says, about
1000 persons on the ground. The mining
camps of Santa Rosalie, San lava and
Calmale are deserted. The placers are
three leagues wide and twelve or fifteen
leagues long.
