Are Controlled by the Cow
ernment.

The Russian peasant classes drink
only vodhi, which is distilled from rye
and is sold at the average price Of
sl.4O a gallon, whether in quantities Of
one or 10000 gallons, says ihe New
York Press. The government requires
that the proof of yodki and brandy
shall be 40 degrees and that # spirits
of wine from 30 degrees to IS degrees.
In provinces where the sale Of liquor
is controlled by the government. tenn
perance societies, supported in part
by the government. have been organ
ized, with Prince Oldenburg. a distin-
guished philanthropis. Of ST Peters
burg, as president. They have opened
reading rooms, with libraries and res
taurants. near public gardens and
squares, where large numbers Of work
ing people congregate. and they sell
cheap and good food with such tenn
peranee drinks as tea. milk and kyass.
made from cranberries and black bread.
One Of these societies has constructed
two floating restaurants" one of
which will feed COO people and the
other 300. These boats are towrd TO
points on the Neva where workingmen
are employed or congregaie. An open
theater has been established on Pc
trovsky island. where a good class Of
plays IS given at nominal price. Some
OF the public parks are also supplied
with apparatus TO encourage open-air
sports.

COURTESY is THE RULE.
Natives OF China T'hink That Ei-
Qaette Il the source Of Am
Virtues.

Courtesy and good feelings prevail
more in China among the common peo-
pie than in any other nation in the
world. The people are naturally re-
served. earnest and good d-natured.
Drunkards are not seen on the crowd
ed streets. The children are docile,
thoughtful, painstaking and persever-
ing. Commonly speaking. the nation is
enslaved to routine and tradition.
Passive resistance is more relied upon
to overcome difficulties than personal
energy and daring. No other nation
has fewer warlike songs or more en-
thusiastic encomiums or peace. The
family group is sohdiied in China as II
is nowhere else in the world. FiliaJ
piety Is the foundation of Chinese So
eiety. The five immutable laws" are
the relations OF father and children,
Of king and subjects. OF man and wife,
Of age and youth, Of friend and friend.
The woman of the nation occupies a po-
stion of absolute inferiority TO man.
After generating her parents she must
venerate her husband.
IF wed a bird" says the proverb.
II must fly after him; If a dog, must
follow him 10 the hunt; If clod Of
earth, must SIT by its side and watch
over it,
All Of the symbolic acts of the be-
trothed remind her that submissiI n is
for the wife the virtue Of Virtues There
is proverb:
"The wife must be mere shadow, a
simple echo"

tory people, Indian and white,
want 4 state of their own, IS clear.
Iy apparent; that they will never
realize this pleasant dream, is a
sure thing. The news has always
contended that separate statehood
is desirable, but impossible. Even
now the Republicans talk Of reduc-
ing the representation of southern
states, and it is folly to hope that
they will admit the Indian Terri
tory as a state, with Marcum and
Wolverton for senator's.
Half a loaf is better than an
empty stomach. Single statehood
is better than George Wright's
ceaseless chatter, We who would
prefer a state Of our own must
remember that we lack the power
to force ourselves upon congress.
So don't sulk nor pull back. Work
for the coming OF the state.-P Pauls

; NOVEL CANE FOR BRYAN.
Carved by an Admirer, ID IL a Marvel
OF uniqueness and
Beauty.

John Bolts, OF New York atty, has
made unique and handsome cane,
which will be presented to William J.
Bryan. He cut the cane from am old
hickory fiagpole and carved IL with a
small penknife. The greater portion of
the cane is coated with silver. and the
eolors employed in the design are red,
white and blue. On the top Of the
straight handle Is cut an imitation OF a
watch, and the hands register 16 min
utes of /. Curling around this handle
is carved and enameled the representa-
tion Of a folded American flag. The red
stripes are raised and stand in relief
against the silver ones. a long stream
er falls from the top of the flag and
coils itself many times around the stick
at the bottom. On this coil is inscribed
in red, white and blue letters the fol-
lowing expressions:
"Onr protector, William J. Bryan;
friend of the workingmen of 1900; he
does not like the trusts; he is the man
for Us"
Running in a straight line from end
TO end and in prominent lettering is the
familiar name of the leader, "Billy
Bryan" A small photograph of Bryan
is inlaid in the handle Of the cane and
n silver ferrule is capped upon the bot.
tom.
No less interesting than the cane is
the box in which it was inclosed when
sent TO the democratic nominee for
president. The box was also made by
young Mr.. Bolts with his penknife. 1t
is coated with silver and carved, as was
the cane. On two opposite sides are in
scribed, respectively: Sixteen to Onen
and "Anti-Imperialism." The other
sides OF the box are decorated with two
cartoons cut upon them. One of these
pictures represents Mr.. Bryan perched
upon the top of tall ladder-the pres
idential ladder Mckinley stand
ing at the bottom gazing anxiously up
ward. The other cartoon shows Mr..
Bryan seated upon the democratic
donkey entering the white house
grounds, where he has been nominated
TO stay four years as president, and Nc
Kinley and Hanna are pushing the mule
desperately from behind, thus helping
him along.

a story about little Prince Edward
Of York appears in the British Week

a British man-of-war and was much
interested in a large, heavily bnilt
chest which was shown him. "What
does that hold?' he asked the tall
officer who accompanied him. Pow

looked sympathetically at the stall

Advertising Costs Money When
Bought Away From Home

Bought Away From Home !
Last summer q lot of four men
came to Chickasha in a palace car
and calling themselves "The Great
Eastern Syndicate. !" They claim
ed to represent four of the great
dailies, one each from New York,
Philadelphia, Boston, and Balti-
more. They succeeded in getting
public meeting in which they ex
planned their object and the peo
pie bit. They enlisted the services
of two or three citizens of the city
who succeeded in collecting about
$3.50 90 which was turned over to
the Syndicate and they depart
ed hence to another greener field
in which to dupe the unsuspecting
advertiser who thinks that foreign
is better than home product. AT
ter several months the "write-up"
made its appearance. We repro
duce it to show what these people
paid $3.50 for. If the same amount
had been paid to the home papers
it would have received ten tunes
the space, and done hundred
times more good.
Just after the "syndicate" was
here the Exyress printed 5000
copies of an extra edition which
went to every state in the Union,
and was copied into several of the
big dailies, thereby getting a cir
culation of at least half million
copies, and this was done at an ex
pense of about $50 90, and the
home papers effort.
The Express has been getting
returns from that edition, and SO
have Others, but the returns come
from the Express effort and not
from that Of the syndicate, for it |
never saw print until November
9th. The moral is stay with your
home paper. Below is the article |

EVENING SESSION.
Much Routine Work and Many In

Az the evening session Of the Boaro
OF Health there was considerable rou-
tine business that had to be transacted.
OF the more important matters, the re-
ports Of City Sanitary officer Pratt
and the Chief Sanitary Inspector are
OF particular interest inasmuch as they
clearly show the work that is being
done by the health authorities to pre-
vent the existence of conditions in Ho-
nolulu which were only too common
during the days of the old Chinatown.

number of nuisances done away with

emu-eggs, gold match-b boxes and similar
ornaments from his "hoxes' and lug

very thoroughly and ascertained moth

SAN FRANCISCO, May 30.-The State
Board OF Health. after thoroughly inves-
tigatIng the conditions in Chinatown. has
insisted that the dirty district shall be
quarantined. The State body, by threat
enlng to close all San Francisco against
the rest of the world, has caused the
business men to choose what was regard
ed as the lesser evil and to demand the
isolation of the Chinese population.
Though the Board of Health steadfastl
maintains that the plague has exlsteO

CABINET SAYS INFECTED.
Favors Treating Australia as Com
From Plague Port.

DIR. Wood. president of the Board of
Health. reported to the Cabinet during
it's session yesterday that the steamer
Australia arrived in port from San
Francisco. bringing a bill of health to
the effect that the Board of Health at
the latter port had declared that plague
existed there. the last case occurring
May l6. but that all cases had been con-
fined to Chinatown.
He stated he had allowed the passen-
gers TO come ashore and had also per-
mitted the deck load of fruit to be land
ed. There were Chinese food stuffs In
the hold, and these he would not al
low to be discharged until all the goods
had been fumigated. The agents had
strongly objected to this plan, claiming
that large amount of the freight WAS
perishable. and would therefore not W.
dergo fumigation. He declared he would
give them the option Of having the
freight fumigated or carry 1t back to
the port from whence ii was shipped
here. President Dole and the Cabinet
members favored treating San Francis
co the same as any other infected p1-t.
