is as black as the ace of spades, and
the children have not drop of col
ored blood in their viens.
V. Galway, the father of the little
girls, died eight years ago. He was
very poor and was not on the best of
terms with his wife. He knew " Aunt
Lizzie" and just before he died he
asked the old woman to see that his
children did not want. The faithful
negress promised, and for several
years she has worked night and day
for her charges. clothing them nicely,
and since they have been old enough,
sending them to the public schools.
Aunt Lizzie " is a caterer in a
small way, and earns nice living.
She announced her intention not long
ago of sending the oldest girl to Eu
rope to complete her education, for
the child is very bright. The devo-
tion of the negress to her " babies "
has long been the talk of the neigh
borhood.
Not long ago the mother married
again, and demanded that " Aunt
Lizzie" give her and her husband
room in the house which was shelter
ing her girls, rent free. This was
refused, and the mother brought suit
to recover her children. All these
facts were brought out in court. The
Judge said he was satisfied that the
children were better off with Aunt
Lizzie" and so ruled. The children
were greatly pleased.

SHOPPING IN JAPAN.
Great DeIiberatiOn Marks All Bust
ness transactions.

Toxic Oapan) Letter to Baltimore Sun.
japanese are very fond of strolllng
through their bazaars. You enter at one
door and leave by another. Goods for sale
are displayed on either side of aisles that
wind through the length of the shop
Passing up and down these aisles they
lead you to the second, and often third
story of the building, then back again
through different asles, causing you to
travel the length of the establishment
many times. Finally you see the doorway
q few feet distant but even then you must
travel this maze several times its length
to escape.
Usually shopping is very restful In ia
pan. You sit around on the floor, and In
some shops they bring you cups of tea
to sip and a "hlbachi," from which to
light your pipe.
Time is of no consequence to the ORR
entails, nor are they eager to sell Their
ideas of trade are very peculiar. You are
compelled to ask them whether you can
see articles after their stating that they
have them in the store. Ten pieces of an
article sometimes cost twelve times the
cost of one. They Will not sell a hundred
at less rate but insist on your paying
extra because of the large quantity de
sired. They frankly tell you their price
to Japanese customers, and then that for
eigners have to pay about 90 to 100 per
cent. more, and laugh.
In the largest dry goods store in Toxic
fifty clerks are seen kneeling upon the
floor of the large building, but no merchan-
disc is visible. 1t is kept in fireproof ca
structures in the rear, and carried TO and
fro for customers inspection by numerous
boys. 1t is Very interesting to watch pro-
ceedings in such a store.
Nearly all japanese stores are conducted
in the same manner, though some shops
have on display samples of articles sod. If
a foreign lady is shopping, a crowd of
japanese usually blockade the store, anx-
ious to see the strange sight. Preparatory
to the new treaties going into effect, the
government issued an order for the natives
10 abandon this obstructive habit.
The Japanese are great !mitators. Almost
every staple article has it's imitation here
and its label counterfei;ed. A Philadelph a
shoe backing has half dozen limitations.
One maker inserts his name Geaviug North
Front street, Philadelphia, remaining, and
the label unchanged except Superior
Quality" is Superior Quarity." Another
inserts his name and Japenese town. but
leaves "l33 and 146 North Front street."
and so on
The Japanese make heroic efforts at
English. While butcheIing It horribly they
do remarkably wei, considering everything

Death Ever Before the Ancient Egyp-
fiaua
From the saturday Review.

From the Saturday Review.
To the Egyptian, death was but the be-
ginning of a career of adventures and exA
periences compared with which the most
vivid emotions of this life were tame He
lived with the fear of death before his
eyes. Everything around him reminded
him OF that dreadful initiation into the
mysteries of the tremendous after-life for
which the present existence was but a
preparation. His cemeteries were not hid
den away in remote suburbs; his dead were
not covered with mere grassy mounds or
slab Of stone. The whole land was his
graveyard; its whole art was of the mortu
airy. Are there no graves in Egypt that
thou has brought us into the wilderness
to die?" asked the Israelites in derision.
and we may believe that Moses WINGED at
the sarcasm.
Egypt is the land of graves, and the
whole energy of the people, that could be
spared from keeping life together, was de-
voted to death. The mightiest tombs in the
world, the pyramids, were raised upon the
deaths of multitudes of toiling slaves. The
hills were honeycombed passages and gal
leries, chambers, pits. all painfully eXca-
waited in honor of the illustrious dead and
sculptured and painted with elaborate
skill to make them fit habitatlons for his
ghost. Wherever he looked, the Egyptian
beheld preparations for the great turning
point of existence. The mason was squar-
ing blocks for the tomb-cha mber, the pot
ter moulded images of the gods, or bowls
and jars, to be placed in the grave for the
protection or refreshment of the Ka, ex-
hausted with the ordeasfof the under
world; the sculptor and painter were at
work upon the walls of the funeral cham
Der, illustrating the scenes through when
the ghost was to pass, or depicting the IN
dustrious life of the departed. The very
temples which cluster along the levels be-
side the Nile were, in a sense, but vest-
bules to the tombs in the hills behind
The sacred lake, now the weedy. pictur-
esque haunt of waterfowl, was then thS

temple walls were covered with the terrors
of the judgemnt to come. The houses of the
living, indeed, were built of perishins
mud, but the homes of the dead and the
shrines where duplication was made 10
the gods who ruled their fate, were MADE
to last forever On these. all the strength

LET THE MERCHANTS
TALK 1T ALL OVER

Republican merchants who have not full
ly made up their minds to vote for Horace
Davis should to-day carefully and fairly
review the political situation and take
into account the advantages which the
Democratic party would derive by the
election of Phelan. The issue now a. hand
is between political parties Mayor Phe-
Ian in addressing the people at Metropoli-
tan Temple on the evening of August 4
uttered these words:
I'VE all have to be party men now We
have to carry out reforms within the par
we can't be Independents and go before
the people and say we will do thus and so
We have to get behind the party. and
make it the instrument and the agency Of

The Call stands reauy to prove by tbe
sworn testimony of an expert stenopranh-
er that Mr.. Pheian did utter these words

The San Francisco merchant should

above neighborly courtesy and personal
friendship. It involves principle ana
touches the commercial position of San

liking for Phelan and yet condemn the
principles which he advocates. No doubt
at this particular time Phelan is giving

INDIANS FIGHT
TO THE DEATH
Frank Schneea Kills
Frank Flores.

PLEASANTON, Cal. Nov. 5-In a
drunken brawl in Indian Town, small
hamlet in the foothills between Pleas
anton and Sunof last night Frank
Schneea stabbed Frank Flores, inf1ictlng
a wound which resulted in the latter s
death early this morning. Flores was
half-breed, as is his slayer, and they had
always been friends.
Yesterday afternoon Schneea went to
Flores cabin and, in company with the
latter and several Indians, began drink
ing wine, which made them so drunk
that they became quarrelsome. Flores
got into a difficulty with his wife tnd tried
to stab her. Schneea interfered and told
him to put his knife away. In response
Flores told Schneea it was none of his
business, and after a brief alteration.
made a dash at him, knife in hand, and
chased him out of doors. Seeing that he
must defend himself. Schneea drew his
knife and stabbed Flores under the left
shoulder, inf1icting q fatal wound.
News of the killing reached here after
daylight and Deputy Coroner Toney
Sweer brought the remains to this place.
An autopsy held this afternoon disclosed
the fact that the brachial artery had been
severed. If doctor had been summoned
promptly Flores life might have been
saved, but while he lay on the floor Of the
cabin bleeding to death the orgie con-
tinued and he expired. Schneea was ar
rested later in the day by Constable
Locke. He admits the stabbing, but claims
he acted in self defense. The other wit
nesses OF the affair tell the same story.

sells under the Hawaiian flag.
The recent decision of the Circuit Court
gave to petitioner the rights prayed for.
At that moment the Presidents proclama-
ton came in. The Collector General is
now between the judgment of the court
and the Presidents proclamation.
The appeal is taken by Attorney General
Cooper to settle the predicament. It is
necessary for the proclamation to go on
record in the case. 1t will then be for the
court to decide whether it will consider
the merits of the contention or rule that
the proclamation settles the question for
aye.
Other cases of much the same char
acter are pending. If the court accepts
the proclamation as indicated all of these
will undoubtedly be dropped from the rec
ords at once.
