A FAMOUS OLD HOUSE.

The house Of Walter Baker & Co.
whose manufactures Of cocoa and
chocolate have become familiar in the
mouth as household words, was es-
tablished one hundred and twenty
one years ago (i7s0) on the Nepon-
set River in the old town of Dorches-
ter. a suburb Of Boston From the
little wooden mill, by the rude
bridge that arched the food where
the enterprise was first started. there
has grown up the largest industrial
establishments OF the kind in the
world. Il might be said that, while
other manufacturers come and 60,
Walter Baker & Co. go on forever.
What Is the secret of their great
success? It is q very simple one.
They have won and held the conf
dence Of the great and constantly in
creasing body of consumers by al
WAYS maintaining the highest stand

chocolate preparations, and selling
them at the lowest price for which

feel justified in denouncing in the
strongest terms the fraudulent meth
DDS by which inferior preparations
are palmed of on customers who ask
for and suppose they are getting the
genuine articles. The best grocers
refuse to handle such goods. not alone
for the reason that. in the long run,
it doesn't pay to do it, but because
their sense of fair dealing will not
permit them to aid in the sale Of
goods that defraud their customers
and injure honest manufacturers.
Every package of the goods made
by the Walter Baker Company bears

WASHINGTON, June 26.--The Chinese
exclusion act expires by limitation May
:, 1902, and the authorities here who
are charged with the enforcement oi
this law are giving attention to the ques-
tion of the passing OF another bill ex~
tending the provisions OF the existing
act. 1t will be necessary for Congress,
at the coming session, TO pass some sort
ol law to cover the situation or else an
,nlbarrasing condition will arise after
next May.
What was known as the Geary act was
passed May 5, 1892, and, in addition TO
re.enactment In its first clause, all
other Chinese legislation then in force,
it provided further details for excluding
Chinese from our ports.
The Geary act was to remain in force
bn, ten wears, and, consequently, it ex-
plres by limitation in May next. In the
absence Of additional legislation prior 10
that time, question will arise whether
or NOT there will be authority for pre-
venting the landing OF the yellow men.

men who were with the girls are said by
many to have been Bob Cardweil, night
bartender at the Beliview saloon on
Utah street Nick he Peter, bartender
at the Palace saloon on San Antonio
street, and probably others. Bob Coles,
proprietor of the Legal Tender saloon ON
Overland street, is said TO have been
with Greer and Patterson. When
Greer reached the cars he cYawied in at
the window and began quarreling with
Ca:dweli for taking the girls among re-
spectacle people. A difficulty was mar
rowly averted and it is said that Greer
exhibited pistol.
Cardwell then got out at the window
and asked the station agent to telephone
for policeman. Three officers soon
put in their appearance. The crowd
was in one end Of the car when the Off
GERS broke open window at the other

to every body to throw up their hands.
Those present say that Greer threw
up his hands but had a gun in his right

Burch returned the fire instantly and
for moment all was confusion. Six or
seven shots were fired and when the
smoke cleared away Perry Greer lay in
the aisle of the car bleeding profusely
with two holes through his head. He
was dead. The shot that must have
killed him struck him in the crown OF
the head ranging downward and coming
