The war which has drawn attention
to South Africa has brought back to
recollection the few writer's who have
told of that land, 50 little known out
side of ALIASES and encyclopedias. The
greatest of these is Olive Schreiner,
and it is she who today has taken up
her pen to champion the cause of the
Beers. For the famous woman has not
forgotten the happy life of the little
girl riding across the boundless sand
plains of the south. and the heredity

comes by intuition, not education. and
only genius could write a book like
that. Yet her first book was only a

An organization recently perfected
and which numbers among its members
prominent persons in two professions
may cause astonishment. not to say
amazement. For the TWO professions,
erstwhile considered as far removed
| from one another as the poles. are the
pulpit and the stage. The organization
| is for mutual aid and was the con-
l.ception of a few actors who had
learned what it meant TO be without
the help which only the church can
give in hours of great trouble and loss.
| The fact of the organization existing
at all is a significant one. for the
church has ever drawn her robes close
| around her lest they be contaminated
| by contact with those of the drama.
| This coming together in fellowship is
A sign of the times, which strive to
teach sympathy and tolerance as we'll
as justice. When the drama returns to
the protection and care OF the church
lit will be but home coming after
Years of separation, for however
ASHAMED the church may be of her off
spring and however much she may rue
some of her fragrant transgressions,
she must NOT forget that the drama is
her daughter and has a right to a
heritage of good.

INTERESTS THE COAST.

WASHINGTON. Dec. l. - Represent
alive Kahn called upon the Secretary
OF the Treasury to-day in relation 10 an
order issued by the Treasury Department
directing Collector OF Customs Jackson at
San Francisco, on October IS last. in addi-
ton to the regular examination of sam
plies OF tea TO prepare and forward TO the
tea Inspector at New York. for the pur-
pose of comparison four-Ounce samples,
packed in receptacles OF the character
prescribed by the department circular Of
July %. 1899 of each line OF tea entered
and examined at San Francisco after that
date. together with labels specifying the
amount, name Of consignee, name OF i'm
porting vessel. date Of importation, etc.
with the statement either that the tea
has been admitted or rejected. This prac-
tice is to continue for six months. The i'm
porters in San Francisco believe that this
order would take the entire tea examna-
ton away from the examiner and place II
in the hands of the examiner at New
York. Mr.. Kahn had long talk with
both Secretary Gage and General Spauld-
Ing. who has charge of the matter. and
was assured by the latter that the exam
liner at New York would have nothing to
do with tea examinations AT San Fran
cisco. and that the samples were simply
for deposit with him for the use Of the
Board OF Tea Experts.
The department considered very favor
ably, however, the suggestion made by
Tea Examiner Platt OF San Francisco
lHdt al eNdiiiHeIS lHttIClldnSe samples.
General SpaudinS assured Mr.. Kahn that
the department would probably at an
early day take up the matter with a view
of bringing about an interchange among
the tea examiners of the country.
Representative Metcalf OF Oakland ar
rived to-day and is at the Arlington. He
called upon General Henderson tonight
and made known his wishes as to COM
mittee assignment Mr.. Metcalf will, Il is
believed here. be retained as a member

also be placed upon the Committee on
Public Buildings. He intends making a
strong fight for Oakland's new postoffice
