DISPLAY AND OUTLAY

Mr.. William Archer, an English
man who was not long since hospit-
ably welcomed in literary circles in
this country, on his return home told
some p.unt truths Of Jul hospitality
which are we'll worth the considera-
ton OF Americans.
He cordially recognized the hearth
ness and sincerity OF his hosts, but
adds, "Americar hospitality is apt to
be too profuse. Why should a hard
working brother Journalist entertain
ME N a scale which would beft a
millionaire? The possibility of re-
turning the compliment in kind affords
ME poor consolation. 4 dinner three
times more expensive than you want
IS not sweetened by the thought that
you may in turn give your host a
dinner three times more expensive
than he wants. Nobody but the
keeper of the cafe is the gamer"
! Another candid Englishman who
was feted in Boston, New York and
Philadelphia complained that he had
I seen nothing of American family and
{ home-life.
| Every evening, he said, Il sit
) down to the same formal dinner in a
| different house, every course alike
{ from the oysters on the shell to the
liquors. Sometimes the same walters
are behind ou1 chairs. Why is it that
nc one asks me to share his buck
wheat cakes and a steak in the morn
ing, OF to help the children with
chops and potatoes at noon?
The same love of display is seen
among us in the custom of wedding
presents. Are we not as a people old
enough to understand that display
and outlay are not the highest ex-
preston of good will?

A VINDICTIVE FOOL

The public hospital service i'll San
Francisco is SO VIGOROUSLY bad that
the Examiner recently started a hos
pital Of its W and it is free to the
public. 1t has been running some
time bat Chief Lees refuses to allow
the Police to take patients there who
are injured in the immediate vicinity
and if a man happens to have his leg
or ann broken near the city front he
is lugged out to the city hospital and
Jolted over the cobbles rather than al.
low the newspaper hospital to be util-
lied. Lees excuse is that he has
V received official notification that
the Examiner hospital is open. The
Police Commissioners ought to see
that Lees has survived his usefulness
and act accordingly. His action in
this matter would seem to be all the
evidence needed.

The anonymous letter writer has
turned up again in Carson. The lat
est effort of the party suspected, to-
gether with II of her visiting cards,
has been sent to San Francisco for the
purpose of having the two compared
by a writing expert. Parties who
have compared the badly disguised
handwriting with the card think the
expert will net spend over two mini
utes reaching a conclusion.

yourself that next time you come to
Alaska you will not be one of the
vulgar herd of idle tourists going
about seeing things from a steamer S
deck, or making an hours visit at an
Indian village, or investigating a
salmon cannery. No, you will come
out among the Indians and in their
canoes, with them for guides, you
will explore the stikine, go up the
Yukon and Copper Rivers far into the
interior, to Klondike, and perhaps
push on the three or four thousand
miles to the seal fisheries Of Behring's
Sea. You will prospect for gold and
other minerals about which you hear
fabulous stories. You will measure
the glaciers flow and PROFOUND a
theory or two of your own in regard
to them and their icebergs. You will
ascend Mount ST. Elias, Crillon, and
Fairweather and name some noun
tain-peaks, legions of which, lofty
and snow capped, await the honor of
your christening. You will also de-
termine their attitudes and confound
the calculations, hasty and i'll consid-
cred, which the few daring explorers
have made. You will hunt the bear,
capture the shy mountain sheep in
their Businesses, catch salmon and
trout, shoot plover and wild duck,
and hobnob with the eagle in his
eyry. All this you will do. Moreover,
you will visit the tribes of Indians
which have not been contaminated by
the contact of civilization which has
come to them in the shape of weekly
boat-loads of tourists, who find them
in the horseless and roadless settle
ments which characterize Alaska far
from picturesque, clad in cheap cali
Goes and government blankets, bar
gaining and selling their hastily made
carvings and baskets to the eager pur-
chasers with the craft and shrewdness
of Jews. No, you will seek them far
away from the high-roads of travel;
you will learn their language and the
significance of their grotesque cary
ings and lofty heraldic totem poles;
you will become acquainted with
their Shaman or medicine men, wit
ness their dances and their ceremon-
ials, get accustomed to their untamed
odors, and, leading their wild life,
you will be initiated into their savage
ways, and they will look more TO-
mantle and interesting. You will
perhaps be able then to write guide
book to Alaska which will win you
the gratitude of future travellers,
since it will deal with plain facts and
render one independent of captain and
ships officers, whose invention has
already been taxed in a most cruel
and unwarrantable manner. You will
also have gotten your adjectives into
superlative condition and can add
them in the shape of a glossary, for
the ordinary tourist might as well
stay at home as to go to Alaska with
out a suitable equipment of adjectives.
All this you will do, and then you
will not have shadow of doubt as
whether Alaska is worth visiting.

AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY.


"The American Rose Society" was
organized in New York to increase the
general interest in the cultivation and
to improve the standard of excellence
of the rose; to foster, stimulate and
increase the production in every pos
sible way of improved varieties of
roses suitable to our American climate
and requirements; to organize sys-
tenn of exhibitions at such time and
places as this society may from time
to time decide ON, to offer prizes of
money, gold, silver and bronze medals
and certificates of merit for meritor
ious new varieties of roses under such
conditions, rules sand regulations as
the society may adopt.
In order that all classes of rose
growers may have fair opportunity
the society intends holding two shows
in New York in the spring of 1900.
The first during the fourth week of
Lent will be principally for the COM
merical and private gardener classes.

outdoor grown roses.
1t is not intended to simply confne
the work OF the aesthetic employment
of flowers.
1t is proposed to disseminate among
the members the latest information
Epftaining to the rose, recommending
new varieties of undoubted merit,
best methods of culture, how to fight
insect and fungoid pests, the proper
use of manures, and other information
from the pens of leading experts. II

ing prepared for what will probably
be the finest garden ever established
and devoted exclusively to the pro.
duction and display of roses will
cover several acres Of ground, and
will included every specimen of the
rose family known to botany. 1t viii,
be seen from the foregoing that in the
future the interests of the rose will
be we'll looked after, and that the

WOULD BE OUT OF PLACE.
Opinions of Leading Men Regarding
United States Mediation.

New York, Oct. IA special to the
Herald from Washington says: Opin-
ion among leading men in Washington
is decidedly against the United States
Offering mediation bewteen Great Brit
ain and the South African republic.
Even among those who sympathize
with the Beers out of natural tendency
TO side with the weaker side, there is
little disposition to assume that the
controversy is one in which the United
States is justified in offering mediation
without being requested.
This opposition to mediation is due
not only to the fact that it is contrary
to the policy of the United States to
interfere in controversies that do not
affect America directly, but also to
feeling that Great Britain's claim to
suzerainty over the Transvaal, which
is to some extent recognized by the
Beers themselves, makes the contro-
versy different from a controversy be-
tween two independent states The
TransvaaI has no foreign relations ex-
cept through Great Britain and tech
nically an offer from the United States
TO mediate might be regarded as inter-
ference in the internal affairs of the
British empire, in much the same way
that an offer from a European power
might be considered an interference in
the internal affairs Of the United States.
Former Secretary Sherman is one OF
those who do not think it would be wise
for the United States TO offer mediation.
He said:
u have been led to suppose by what
I read in the papers that the English
are rather sorry that matters have gone
so far in South Africa. They already
exert a practically controlling influence
over all that country and there are
signs that Great Britain would be glad
to avoid war and to compromise in
some way that would not alarm the
British people. i do not think there
is much doubt that the people of the
Transvaal would be better off with
British control
Il do not think the United States
ought TO seek in any way to interfere.
We are too far away and we should
not involve ourselves in a controversy
that might lead to war"
Representative Burton of Ohio said
on the same subject: Il think it would
be a very serious mistake to offer me-
diation. Mediation is properly ten
dered under one of two conditions:
First, on the application of one or both
of the nations involved inSthe quarrel;
no application has as yet been made
by either. Second, when a nation of its
own initiative regards the. conflict as
likely to occasions serious injury to it's
own interests or desires to take the part
of one of the contending nations. In
the latter case an offer of mediation is
a decidedly unfriendly act. 1t thus APP
pears that it would be manifestly i'm
proper to offer mediation under the
present circumstances. rs

Troops Advance On Ma
Iabon and Old Cavite.
APPEAL FROM AGUINALDO
HE URGES THE FILIPINoS TO
REMAIN REsoLUTE.
Hopes That the Democratic Party
May Win In the Next Presiden-
tial Election, So That Independ-'
ence May Be Granted to the In
surgents-Denounces Imperialists

Manila, Oct S-The advance. from
linus and Bacoor towards Malabon and
Old Cavite began early this morning.
General Lawton was in command.
Aguinaldo, in a proclamation an
nouncing the release of American prls-
oners, and authorizing Filipino soldiers
in the northern province to return 10
their homes, says:
In America there is a great party
that insists upon the government rec
ognizing Filipino independence. Ihat
party will compel the United states 10
fulfill the promises made to US IN all
solemnity and good faith, though not
put into writing.
Therefore we must show our gratl-
tude and maintain our position more
resolutely than ever. We should pray
to God that the great Democratic party
may win the next presidential election
and imperialism fail in its mad attempt
TO subiugate us by force of arms There
are some Americans in the Philippines
who have Joined us, because they dis
approve a war of what Mr.. Atkinson
calls criminal aggression. When oHer-
ed a chance to return to their own
camp they declined"
Throughout the proclamation Aguln-
aldo denounces the ''imperialists' in
stead of the Americans as in former
documents. He calls the world to Wit
ness that the Filipinos have not broken
1.-The alliance made through Admiral
Dewey with the Americans, and with
the American consuls at Hongkong and
Singapore" The people, on seeing the
American prisoners, cried out:
1--WE do not want war against the
United States. We only defend our m
dependence against the imperialists
The sons of that mighty nation are our
friends "

JUDGE COLBORN'S PLANS UPSET
HE INTENDED TO GIVE WHEEL
RACES TODAY.
But Chief Hilton Threatened to Ar
rest the Whole Crowd and the
Programme Was Abandoned.

Director General Colborn Of the Salt
Palace had planned to open the Mid
way Plaisance in full blast today. he
had planned to- give bicycle races on
the sallceF8 Track for the entertainment
or conference visitors He will not do
It, however because Chief of Police
Hilton threatened him and all the par
ucipants with arrest on the charge Of
violating the Sunday ordinance. The
dlreetor general was going to do il
anyway, but. upon calm reflection. he
decided that it would not be wise
policv
Judge Colborn contends that there is
no law which would prohibit the giving
Of any Kind of amusementsD in the city
limits on Sunday. Still, he had his
doubts about the expediency of MAX
ing the new departure. and, accord
lngiy. made a call upon Chief of Police
Hilton. No encouragement was re-
ceived from that quarter, SO he saw
Mayor Clark. The mayor was non-com-
initial referring him to the chief of po-
lice. Finding no serious objections, Dr.
rector General Colbor1 had about made
up his mind to risk it and give his
shows as he had planned.
Thus matters stood until about 9
O'Clock in the evening. Judge Colborn
was mednuerlHS ABOUT the Palace med
itating upon the prospects for a large
attendance at the Sunday shows, when
he heard a ring at the telephone. Hur-
rying over to the phone, he asked:
WHO is it?"
1.-THE chief of police" came the an
swer over the wire. 1.-THE public won't
stand it, judge, and we can't let you
give your show tomorrow"
The judge staggered: What will you
do if I give it anyway" he asked.
We'll arrest you"
'Will you arrest ANYBODY else?"
seYes; we'll arrest you and everybody
that participates. If the Midway is
open, we will arrest all the actors.
When will you arrest u.s." queried
the judge, in the hope that he could
get through before the police got down
to the Palace.
Wen arrest you all before the shows
start" answered the chief, as he hung
up the receiver.
Director General Colborn claims that
if baseball games are given sanction
by the police, there certainly should be
no objection to bicycle races and Mid
day shows Chief Hilton bases his
action on the decision of an Ogden
court that baseball games do not come
within the law. Judge Colborn sees no
reason why bicycle races should not
be considered in the same class AND
there the matter rests.
II will make d test case of this some
day." said the director general last
evening.
