For years the male residents of
Healdsburg, CAL, talked Of certain i'm
provements which the town needed.
Nothing came of the talk, and then the
women took the matter up and formed
Ladies' Improvement club. This
organization has transformed the place,
having by their active influence and
organized labors procured for the town
a municipal water system, o municipal
electric light plant, comfortable seats in
the plaza, an ineligible name system
for the streets, slgnboards with street
names at all corners, q drinking foun-
tain costing $500. These improve
ments were brought about without
increasing taxes, except for the two
purposes first named.

III Can Live.

II can live
To make some pale face brighter, and to give
A second luster tolsame tear-dimmed eye,
Or cen impart
One throb Of comfort to an aching heart,
Or cheer some wayworn soul in passing by.
II can lend
A strong hand to the fallen, or defend
The right against single envious strain,
My life, though bare.
Perhaps, of much that seemeth dear and fair
To us of earth would not have been in vain.
The purest joy
Most near to heaven, far from earth's alloy.
Is bidding cloud give way to sun and shine;
And twill be we'll,
II on that day of days the angels tell
or me. she did her best for ono of Thine.

ASSASSINATE MCKINLEY.
Spanish and Cuban Plot to Kill the
President

PRESIDENT.
New York, July 11.-The World saws:
A plot to assassinate President McKin
ley has been frustrated. 1t was con-
cocted by Spanish and Cuban con-
spiratOrs who had headquarters in New
Ork. One of the plotters weakened
and sent a warning letter to the repub-
liCan national committee. The letter
was placed in the hands Of Secretary
Charles Dick, who referred it to Chair
man Odell of the New York committee
for investigation. Chairman Odell en-
gagged a detective, who speedily verified
certain allegations made in the warning
letter. Thereupon Mr.. Odell reported to
Mr.. Dick, who laid the facts before Chair
man Mark Hanna. Mr.. Odell's report
caused great alarm among the presi-
dents close advisers. Mr.. OdelI made
it plain that he regarded the plot as a
matter of the utmost seriousness and
urged that extreme precautions be taken
to keep the president out of harm 8
reach. Messrs. Dick and Hanna laid the
matter before the president before he
left for Canton. They instructed Mr..
Odell to continue his investigation and
cautioned him to work with the utmost
secrecy.
To World reporter last night Mr..
Odell admitted that he and other mem
bers of the national committee had dis
covered a plot to assassinate the presi-
dent. Eyes, it is true" he said, "but |
regret exceedingly the matter has be-
come public"
He was extremely anxious that no
reference whatever should be made to
the matter. Special detectives are
guarding the president in Canton.

The Stand We Take.

Secretary of State Hay outlined under
date of June 30 the position of the
United States in the Chinese trouble, as
follows:
"ln this critical posture of affairs in
China it is deemed appropriate to define
the attitude of the United States as far
as present circumstances permit this to
be done. We adhere to the policy init
ated by us in 1857, of peace with the
Chinese nation, of the furtherance OF
lawful commerce, and of the protection
of the lives and property of our citizens
by all means guaranteed under extra
territorial treaty rights and by the law
of the nations. Ii wrong be done to our
citizens, we propose to hold the re-
sponsble authors to the uttermost ac-
countability. We regard the condition
at Pekin as one of virtual anarchy,
whereby power and responsibility is
practically devolved upon the local pro-
vincial authorities. So long as they are
not in overt collusion with rebellion and
use their power to protect foreign life
and property, we regard them as repre-
senting the Chinese people, with whom
we seek to remain in peace and in friend
ship.
"The purpose OF the president is, as it
has been heretofore, to act concurrently
with the other powers, first in opening
up communication with Pekin and rescu.
ing the American officials, missionaries
and other Americans who are in danger;
secondly, affording all possible protec,
tion everywhere in China to American
life and property; thirdly, in guarding
and protecting all legitimate American
interests; and fourthly, in aiding to pre-.
vent a spread of the disorders to the
other provinces OF the empire, and a re
currence OF such disasters. 1t is, o
course, too early to forecast the means
of attaining this last result, but the
policy of the government of the United
States is to seek solution which may
bring about permanent safety and peace
to China, preserve territorial and ad
ministrative entity, protect all rights
guaranteed to friendly powers by treaty
and International law and safeguard
for the world the principle of equal anC
impartial trade with all parts of the Chi
nese empire"
Foreigners at Pekin were reported saf
July 4, except the German minister
Later information, however, does no
| confirm this good news.
