His Experience.

Washington Star: "Woman's work
is never DONE" quoted the sympathetic
citizen.
That's right" answered Mr.. Meek
ton, earnestly. II have observed it in
Henrietta's case. Woman's work is
never done. There is always enough
of it left over to keep her husband
busy from the time he gets through
dinner till he's so tired he has to go
to bed"

One day Bunsen sat with another
shining light of Heidelberg University,
who like him had had the highest
honors bestowed upon him that could
be gained in a scientific career. Bun
sen was cool and taciturn, while his
colleague never ceased to chatter of
his financial losses, suffered through
the great fall in Turkish bonds. Bun
sen remained silent while the other
went on to console himself in this wise:
Il can get a certain amount of conso-
lation for my bad investments out of
the fact that the great Helmholtz him
self invested pretty heavily in Turkish
bonds, and has lost lot of money,
too" Then, at last, Bunsen broke his
silence with the laconic words: Il
didn't think Helmholtz was so big n
fool"

An old Irish laborcr walked into the
luxurious studio of an artist and asked
for money to obtain meal. He eX-
planned that he had just been dis
charged from the county hospital and
was too weak to work. He was given
a quarter and departed. One of four
young ladies, art students, who were
present, said: Mr.. Madden can't we
hire that old man and sketch him?"
Nader ran out and caught him, and
said: IF you can't work, and want to
make dollar, come back to my rooms
The young ladies want to paint you"
The lrishman hesitated, so Madden re-
marked: 1T won't take long, and it's
an easy way to make a dollar" "Oi
know that" was the reply, but Oi
was a-wonderin' how tn divil Old git

INSPECTOR ERWIN
RETURNS FROM CUBA
BE Brings Some Interesting Informa-
tion Regarding the Attitude of
Natives Toward Us.

BERKELEY. May 19.-Postofflce In
spector J. w. Erwin returned Tonight
from Cuba, where has has been engaged
under General f. G.. Rathbone in organ
tzing the United States mail service for
che island. He left for California on the
ed Of last month, staying two weeks in
Washington. D. c.
Mr. Erwin brings word that the con-
dition Of things in the island is very
quiet. He was favorably impressed with
the Cubans and thinks them well dis
posed toward the United States. 1t is his
opinion that if a vote were taken of the
native population II would be largely in
favor OF annexation. Opposition he ex-
planned, was due to certain political agi-
tators. but the influence Of these was fast
waning. The war, he said had left the
interior Of the country in most depIor-
able state. and a certain kind of fever
termed by the natives ''Weyier fever. .
was spreading everywhere.
In certain parts OF the island the crops
for this season were a failure. With re-
gard to the mail service, Mr. Erwin ex-
plained that It had been reorganized
upon the American system and was now
in thorough working order under charge

BLIND JOSEPH
SANDERS WILL
TAKE CONT ROL
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
COS Broadway. Nav 19.

SJS Broadway, MAY ~.
After experiencing four years of grad
ual decline in the manufacture of brooms
and the incomes of its inmates the Home
for Adult Blind Will have new superin-
tendent June l. This step has been de-
cded upon by the new board of directors
appointed by Governor Gage.
The resignation of Superintendent Hays
has been accepted, and the blind sUperin-
tendent, Joseph Sanders, who was de-
posed four years ago by Democratic
administration. after long term of sue
cessful mana cement. will be reinstated.
Superintendent Sanders is one of the
cleVerest blind men of the age, and the
manner in which he conducted the Blind
Home was such that a great number of
visitors of the institution could not be
persuaded that he was without his sight.
The new board consists of Colonel John
2. Irish and Directors Spauldlng, Sanborn,
Wells and Randolph, and they are unani-
nous in making the change. For many
years the Blind Home has practically
failed of its purpose, and for a consider
able time the broom factory, its solo
source of revenue outside the State apprO-
prlation, has been closed. This step was
taken by order of the directors, who dis
covered that under existing conditions
they were making brooms at loss and
could not dispose of them when they
were made. The only means by which the
blind men could procure pocket money
and funds with which TO buy clothes was
by making brOomS and last winter many
of them suffered fearfulIy from the cold
weather for want of proper clothing 1t
has always been the contention of old
members of the board of directors that
with a practical blind superintendent with
a thorough knowledge of the broom corn
market the home could be maintained
In such manner as to produce fair
income. Such an income was produced
all the time Superintendent Sanders was
in office.
Secretary Havens has also been de-
posed and George ). Meredith of the old
Republican City Central Committee has
been appointed secretary. The regular
meeting of the board will be held June l.
at which time the new superintendent
will take office. and II is probable that the
patronage of the institution will see other
changes.
Last evening the retiring superintend-
ent, John Hays. was presented with a
gold watch by the employees of the insti-
tuition. The informal affair took place at
the home and was marked by words of
appreciation on both sides.
