Death of Mrs. Ryan.

One of the saddest deaths which
has occurred in our vicinity for
many years was that of Mrs. Jane
Ryan, who died at her home near
Pullman on Wednesday, August 1 ,
Of acute kidney trouble Mrs. Ryan
was about her usual duties OH Mon
day, and her sudden and fatal ill.,
ness was the most grievous shock
to her family, to whom is extended
the sincere sympathy of the entire
community. Mrs. Ryan was about
53 years Of age, and with her hus-
band, who is a veteran Of the civil
war, were among the pioneers ofthe
country. She was most estimable
woman, her many lovable qualities
winning friends among young and
old alike. The family so suddenly
stricken consists of the husband,
Patrick Ryan, three sons and two
daughters, the elder of the daugh-
ters being sister in a Tacoma con-
vent. The funeral services were
held at the Catholic church in Col
ton, and the interment in the GEN.
etery at that place. Mrs. Ryan
was one of the charter members of
Whitman Relief Corps, and several
ladies of the order drove over to
Cotton to attend the last sad rites
of sister member.

of the Pullmanites who at
tended Mrs. Ryan's funeral at Col
ton yesterday, party of eight were
most hespitable entertained at din
ner at the convent. The party con-
sisted of Mr.. and Mrs. T. W. Saw
age and daughter Carrie, Miss Kin.
zie, Mesdames K. P Allen, Morrel,
Sanborn and Brooks. The cordial
reception given to the visitors was
a very pleasant experience; the
busy, useful lives of the sisters"
and the order and harmony which
everywhere prevailed was of the
greatest interest to the ladies who
yesterday made their first visit to
St. Scholastica's Convent.
The boys of this city will prob
ably not take such huge delight in
the future as in the 4past.in taunt-
ing "Maloney," the Chinese washee
washee man, with being a boxer.
Maloney's sympathies do not lean
toward the anarchists in his be-
loved native land, and when the
boys shouted "boxer" at him his
rage boiled over. Thursday even
ing a number of the boys were
amusing themselves at Malonev's
expense, when retribution came up
on them suddenly and rather pain
fully TO at least one lad. Malonev
made dash for his tormentors as
though to gather them all in and
put them through his washing ma
chine, but they were fleet of foot.
and made good race for escape.
But as they dashed around the cor
ner, Lawrence Chambers took
look over bis shoulder at the pur-
suing Celestial, and failed to note
the approach Of the wagon of the
steam laundry, with which he col
lided with more damage to himself
than to the wagon. The horse at
tached to the wagon struck Law
renee on the head with his hoof,
proving himself pretty fair boxer
for a horse, and then proceeded to
draw the wagon over the PROSTATE
form of the boy. Lawrence was
picked up, carried to his home, and
medical assistance called, and al
though he has been pretty sick
youth since the accident, no serious
results are anticipated, and no bones
are broken.

They Are Coming Hero In Yearly In

The immigration of Japanese to this
country has become great and con-
stant- There is no bar to 1t except the
alien contract law and the usual quar-
antine regulations. The Japanese gov
ernment itself is not friendly, to this
immigration and has done what 1t
could to discourage II. Some years
ago 1t enacted a law requiring each
emigrant to secure q passport, which
is granted only on condition that he
provide two sureties that he will not
become a public charge or fall into
distress for three years. But the
Japanese quickly worked" this as our
politicians work" registration laws in
large cities. They soon organized
twelve companies to provide sureties
and transportation. They have agents
throughout Japan and everyone who
wants to emigrate can get his pass
port within few days. These COM
panies have furnished great stimulus
to the outflow. Last April more than
5000 Asiatics, chiefly Japanese, landed
at Victoria alone, The Official esti-
mates are that 80 per cent of the
Japanese landed in Canada eventually
come to this country. Many Chinese,
of course. evade the exclusion law and
come in through the same channel.
British Columbia has no alien immi-
grafton laws. But the Chinese immi"
grafton has been so burdensome that
the country has imposed al enormous
poll tax and to some extent has sue
ceeded in checking it. The japanese,
like the Chinese, are Industrious and
tractable and large railroads find
their services valuable. The Great
Northern road, for example. has a
close traffic with the subsidized jap
ansese steamers at Seattle, and conse-
quently Japanese labor is profitable,
both to the railroad and the Japanese
steamship companies. Thus far we
have never felt that the Chinese and
Japanese were in the same social scale,
but undoubtedly an Asiatic popula'
ton is not desirable.
