NO BIG CRUSHES.
Conservative as my people are. IL is easy
to understand that they are content to
keep on. day after day, at their accus-
tCued tasks with no impatience at their
monotony. They are devoid of any chav-
ing for excitement. Working year in and
year out. without even a weekly rest such
as that taken by Sunday observers the
world over. they seldom seem TO realize
the need or the charm of social reaxa-
tiCn. When they do come together for mu-
q al entertainment the company is always
small. a social function" with its crush
OF people. OF the kind so common in this
country, would never appeal to China
man as entertaining or relaxing. The Chi
nese OF the upper classes frequently en-
tertain their friends at more or less elab-
orGte banquets. but at the ordinary din
ner party covers are laid for only eight
people. As an after dinner bit. private
theatricals are In order, and professional
trgglers and comedians are frequently
called in to amuse the guests. Similar
affairs would be dubbed stag parties
In America. for they are invariably char
acterized by the absence of women. The
latter entertain each other in their own
apartments as gayly and as pretentiously
as they please. but men are never their
grests. a woman may be the mistress
of her husbands house, but she is never
the dispenser of his hospitality.
SOCIAL ENTERTAINMENTS.
Social entertainments in China never re-
volve around dancing or athletic contests
as they so frequently do in America Our
ideas about the improperly of the two
sexes mingling socially would effectually
prevent dancing from becoming a form OF
entertainment. Athletic sports have not
found favor In our eyes, but games OF
chance have a strong hold on the popular
heart. In the tea houses and cafes, where
the club life of Chinese men is centered
gambling fiourishes in many forms. 1t IS
discouraged by the Government, but there
IL as little hope Of plucking the gaming
interest from the Chinese heart as there
Is of suppressing the trading spirit in the
Jewish breast. IL is those little ripples
OF gambling excitement that keep the Chi
paman's life from stagnating. Cards
dice, chess. dominoes. all serve to satisfy

Some OF the most striking difference:

Plague is Pau in Sydney.

For sixteen days before the Mariposa
left Sydney there had been no cases
OF plague in that city, and the vessel
brought a clean bill of health from
that port. She reported that the disease
had been completely rooted out. The
vessel was compelled to observe the
rule of remaining six feet away from
the wharf here, however. and until
thirty days have elapsed since the last
case of plague in Sydney all vessels
from that port will be forced to obey
the same rule.

forts On Behalf of the People

ministration has been one that has
commanded the respect and the admir-
alton of the best intellects throughout
the country. We wish to congratulate
you upon the success you have achiev-
ed in your victory over our opponents
at the polls last Tuesday. We feel con-
fident that our labors for the success Of

by representation that Governor Otero
was in sympathy with us and would
do everything in his power to assist US
in securing additional territory for Nc

the Doubling Thomas" and he straight
forth deposited his ballot for the sue
