 CLOSING EXERCISES-The pu- 0 pills of the Sixth avenue and Chestnut street school held their closing exercises Friday evening at the home of their talented teacher, Miss CaIlie Jones. The rooms were filled to overflowing with relatives and interested friends, and all were most thoroughly entertained from s to 10 o'clock by the bright and we'll drilled members of this progressive and interes ting school. The little Kindergarten tots charmed and sur prlsed every one by their self-posses- sion, and perfect rendition of their parts, and the pupils of the higher grades were equally well prepared and all evinced the careful training of faithful and efficient teachers. Miss Jones is assisted in her work by Mrs. M. c. Jones and Miss Lncy Hud- son, and in addition to the kinder garten they teach the first four grades corresponding to the same number in our public schools. Too much cannot be said in praise of the school and it's able and conscieI- tious teachers. We would be glad if space permitted the publication of the program.

LOS ANGELES, March A.-Either by

The bill was passed in response to a

NEW YORK, March 24.-Citfzens OF
the United States residing in Chetu,
China, have made an earnest appeal,
through Consul Fowler at Chefu. to
the charitable in America and else
where on behalf of the sufferers from
the appalling Yellow River floods OF
this year. These foods have been de-
scribed by the natives as "China's sor-
row." and the petitioners state that
never before was the distress so great
and heartrending as now.
The most conservative estimates
place the number of starving at two
millions, and time and the increasing
cold weather will undoubtedly aug
ment the distress. The petitioners say
that they are, daily, almost hourly, in
receipt of reports from their country
men in the interior depicting the condi-
ton of the famine refugees. Hundreds
of villages are submerged, cities sur
rounded by water, homes, furniture,
cIothing-in fact, everything is under
water or destroyed. The natives them
selves are living in straw huts and
many have absolutely no shelter from
the winters cold and snow, subsisting
ON bark, willow twigs, roots, etc. The
summers crops have been failure, the
seed for next springs sowing is gone
and there is nothing for these starving
millions to hope for in the future.
with our knowledge of the terrible
want prevailing" says the American
committee 1--WE venture to call upon the
charitable in our home land to assist us
in trying to alleviate at least portion
of this misery. Therefore, we shall be
glad to receive contributions OF money

particular. The judgment of the lower
court in favor of the union was affirmed.
a wear or so ago several owners OF ba-
keries became entangled in difficulties
with the labor unions on account OF
hours. wages, the employment OF non
union bakers, etc, and boycotts and
strikes followed, Davitt 6, Daly's bakery
coming in for its share of the ill-will and
condemnation. They began an action
AGAINST the union and it's officers for dam

The complaint set forth that the Ba-
kers' Union and it's members were inter
fering with the plaintiffs employees and
attempting to force them by threats tC
quit work. Also that the union was en-
deavoring to injure their business by dis
tributing damaging circulars on the
streets for the purpose of inducing the
public not to patronize the boycotteC

this complaint and sustained. Plaintiffs
declined to amend and judgment went
