THE SITUATION AS IT'S.

DR.. G. 81. Parkhurst, in his broad
statement that "the Sou'h hates the
Negro and owns up to it. while the
North hates him likewise and lies
about il" gives utterance to the truth,
but forgets to tell the whole truth. He
is too general. The Negro is hated by
some people in all sections of the
country, just as he is respected by
some everywhere. Opinions of the
black man is dependent upon tempera-
ment of the individual. education and
environment, and no rule can be laid
down for any considerable area of
ground as to what will be thought of
the Negro or as to what privileges will
be allowed him. It will be remembered
that Sumner, Phillips, Garrison, Love
Joy, Stevens and Beecher the staunch.
est of abOl tiOnists, were northern men.
They did not lie about their loyalty to
the holy principles of liberty. 1t will
likewise b. remembered that southern
men, so numerous as TO make indi
vidual mention unnecessary, have
been quick to aid the Negro by giving
him employment, loaning him money
to move a crop or lift a mortgage,
contributing to hisschools and churches,
and caring for him in time of sickness
Both of these illustrations of sectional
feeling are matters of record, and
should be taken into the account when
a summary is made by those who wish
to draw comparisons.
The truth of the situation is clearly
this: In both sections, the Negro is re-
garded as an inferior race and is not
looked upon with favor IS a competi
tor of the white people, In the North
the Negro is not wanted as a rival in
the skilled trades, but is accorded
large opportunities to spend along
with the whites the earnings he has
acquired in menial servitude In the
SOuth, he is permitted to work, because
the white man does not wish to work
but is denied participation IN the affair
of state. In short, both North an,
South like the Negro in the place they
have carved out for him, and bOtl

PASSES AWAY
San Francisco's Chief of Police
Succumbs to Dis
ease.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 11.-Chjef of
Police William r. Sullivan Jr. died at his
home, 209 Central avenue, at 1870 o'clock
this morning. -Four eminent physicians
held a consultation last evening and ar
rived a, the conclusion that The c~sc was
almost hopeless. Chief Sullivan had been
sick for some time. but he was of
splendid physique and of excellent hab-
its, his Illness was not considered serious
until within the last few days. The
physicians found that the patient was
suffering from a complication affecting
the heart and kidneys. and gave little
hope of the patients recovery.
Chief Sullivan was born at Boston,
Mass. forty-seven years ago. He was
scarcely five years of age when he came
with his parents to California and settled
in San Francisco. He received his early
education in the Hamilton Grammar
School and subsequently in the Boys
High School. After leaving school he en-
tered the employ of MOsgrove Brothers,
then a prominent retail dry goods firm,
and remained in mercantile pursuits I'M
til about ten years ago, when he became
secretary of the Pacific Rolling Mills,
a position he held until Phelan was elect
ed mayor of San Francisco for his first
term in 1896. Then Sullivan was appoint
ed secretary 10 the mayor, and continu-
ed in that capacity until the charter took
effect. The first police commission under
the new charter appointed him chief of
police on February 16 1900. During the
great railroad strikes in 1894 Sullivan was
colonel of the First Regiment of Infan-
try. National Guard OF California, and
took an active part in suppressing the
riots in Sacramento at that time.

THE LIFE OF WATCHES.
Influences and Conditions That AfFeC
 Behavior of All TimeDieces.

Influences and Conditions That Affect
 Behavior of All Timepieces.
 "Watches, said the jeweler, as he screwed a little glass into one eye and squinted into a case of wheels, "are like human beings in many ways. They are delicate; they run we'll only when in perfect order, and they require atten- ton once in so often, whether they stop or not They become sick, in way, as we do, and they get off their balance. But, unlike us, when their handspring breaks they are not necessarily done for, unless in another world. They can have new mainsprings. We can't.
 Watches, all jokes aside, are really almost human sometimes. They take cold readily. Never lay a watch on a cold marble table or near an open win dow all night after you have worn it next to your warm body all day; it will contract a sort of pneumonia, and ten to one it will stop before long if the practice be continued. The cold con- tracts the metal pivots, which, small as they are must not be smaller, and they shrink. Thus the wheels cannot move.
 "Watches are magnetized, too, by the persons who wear them. 1 have seen the statement that watches vary in timekeeping with the health of the wearer, and that if changed from one person to another they will also show slight variations. All of that is true. The static electricity of a person may affect watch. All of us throw this off; some more than others. Dark persons give off more than light ones do, and a dark woman more than any one else. Dark women should have rubber cases for their watches if they wish to have them keep perfect time.
 Never lay a watch flat, at night, after it has been worn in a vertical position all day. It throws it off its base, so to speak. If the pivOts be worn, the wheels will not run level.
 "A sudden jar will often stop a watch, which runs regularly at that; such a jar as getting on or off a car suddenly.
