into whose saloon Mrs. Nation and her
followers entered by the windows they

The saloon men are very uneasy,

employed guards to warn the keepers
of the approach of the enemy. The
wife of one saioonkeeper has placed
herself in the front apartment of the
saloon. and threatens to repel Mrs.
Nation in case of attack. The young
man who struck Policeman Sutton
Monday was the son of Mrs. Evans,

he struck the officer under the mis-
apprehension that the officer was about
to strike his mother gave him inn

HOW TIE CENTURY CANE PROPOSED WAR college
HAWAII ALMOST THE LAST TO
GET IT.
1t Broke First on Antipodes Island.
Then on New Zealand and Fiji and
Winged Around the World.

If the change of the centuries took
place at either of the equinOXes-March
" or September 22-then, since on
those days the earth's axis is at right
angles to the plane of the orbit, and
there is equal day and night all over
the world, the matter would be very
easily decided. The dawn-line would
coincide with the date line, and from
pole to pole the first sun of the new
century wiuld rise at the same mo-
ment.
But unfortunately this is not 50, ana
the consequence is hat tn Il the line Of
dawn, as it sweeps rouu1 the eartu,
first touches the date line to the south
of the equator, and then gradually
creeps up this line till Il leaves 1t far
to the north SO the first sun of the
twentieth century win rise on the
places along or near the isIte line N
the order of their posi-iJl, from the
south upward.
Now, there is no land along this line
from the Antarctic circle to AutipOdes
Island, hence this tiny spot of Earth
will first see the twentieth century
dawn. a few minutes later Bounty
Island will see it. Then it will sweep
along the northeast coast of North ISL
and, New Zealand; then over Nanua
Lew in the Fiji Islands. Next it will
shine on the scattered coral islets of
the Ellice group, and after travelling
about degrees more to the north the
light tide will touch the crossing of
the dawn line and date line at 6 o'clock
Two hours and five minutes will have
to pass before it reaches the banks Of
the Yarra, in six hours and twenty-five
minutes it will gild the temples and
palaces of Calcutta. In nine hours and
fifty minutes it will be flowing over
Lions Head, and down the rugged sides
of Table mountain. In twelve hours
and twenty-five minutes it will have
crossed Montmartre and touched the
base of Eiffel tower in Paris. Five
minutes later it will have passed the
cross of st. Paul's and be flowing up
Fleet street. In seventeen hours and
twenty minutes from the time it cross
ed the dawn line will be flowing round
the feet of the statue of Liberty, and
in three hours more it will have reach
ed the Golden Gate. Then it will cross
stretch of ocean touching Hawaii and
the low archipelago, back to the dawn
line, and so will be accomplished the
evening and morning of the first day of
the twentieth century

English Laws.
One day about the year 1918 George
Cruikshank was passing Newgate on
his way to the exchange, when, seeing
crowd collected, he went forward to
learn what was the matter, and saw
that it was the execution of several
men and women. He was Mortified at
the spectacle, and on inquiring, learned
that the woman was being hanged for
passing counterfeit Ell notes. He learn
ed also that this punishment was quite
common thing, even though the poor
wretches often sinned in ignorance, be-
ing the dupes of men who sent them to
buy some tritle and return the change
to them.
Wrung with pity and with shame,
Cruikshan went home and Immediately,
under the inspiration of his feeling,
sketched a grotesque caricature of
banknote. He calls it a bank restric-
ton note-not to be initiated. He re-
presents on it a place of execution, with
the spaces about filled in with halters
and manacles, a figure of Britannia
devouring her children, and transport
ships bearing the lucky or unlucky ones
who had escaped death to Van Diemens
land or Australia, while in place of the
well-known signature of Abraham
Newland is that of -. Ketch."
He had just finished this, when his
publisher Hone entered, and seeing it,
begged to have it for publication. So
Cruikshank etched it and gave it to
Hone who exhibited it for sale in his
window with startling effect Crowds
quickly began to gather, and purchas-
ed so eagerly that the issue was soon
exhausted.
Cruikshank was kept hard at work
making more etchings, the crowds grew
so great that the street was blocked,
and the mayor had to send soldiers to
clear it. Hone realized over $500 in a
few days.-GoOd Words.

More Evidence That Chinese Discover.
ed America Before He Did.

WASHINGTON, November 27.-In-
formation of great interest has come to
Minister WI Ting Fang bearing on the
discovery of America by the Chinese
htteen centuries ago. This afternoon
Minister WI received a letter from the
Far West which contained what he be-
lleVed ~ be IMPORTANT additional facts
on the subject. The letter is written by
II. E. Boothby of Eureka, Humbolt
county, California. Mr.. Boothby writes:
Dear Sir: 1 read with interest your
remarks anent the dscoveryof America
by the Chinese. 1t may interest you
to know that there is in Oakdale, STAN
lslaus county, Cal, Chinaman of the
name of Charley Wah Loung who is
acquainted with a Chinese cook who
worked in the gold mines in Cariboo,
British Columbia. He says that in the
gravel of that stream the workmen
found a large number of oblong coins
with holes in them. The coins were
quite large and We're minted during the
reign of one who guided the destines
of China 1000 years ago. Several miles
farther up the stream the mining party
round written upon huge rock a num-
Der of Chinese characters which re-
corded that Chinese vessel had been
sent on voyage and that the party
had landed on the coast west OF that
point; that they had been attacked by
the natives of the country and suffered
great loss. Much of the writing was
illegible.
l think if you would advise Charley
Wah Loung, Oakdale, Stanislaus coun-
ty, Cal, he can supply the address of
the aforesaid person. Jim Young,
whose Chinese name is Yep Yuem, who
is a commission merchant somewhere
on Washington street, San Francisco, is
also acquainted with the man. If the
matter is of interest to you, you can
undoubtedly gain additional particulars
/ by addressing the parties mentioned.
Yours respectfully,
| H. e. BOOTHBY,
Eureka, Cal.
Concerning the information impart-
ed in the letter, Minister WI said:
81 have no doubt as to the correctness
| of the facts set forth by Mr.. Boothby.
| AS l said before, l had heard that the
! junks both of Chinese and Japanese
! fishermen had been found along the
shores of the Pacific Slope. 1 believe
now that not only did fishermen come to
America many years ago, but that
regularly organized band of Chinese eX-
plorers stepped first on this continent
early in the present Christian era. l
! have heard or read of a rock in the far
north that has the Chinese Inscriptions
! but did not possess the accurate in
! formation given in the letter"

THE SMART SET FOR DEC
EMBER.

The Smart Set for December
contains forty-four signed ar
%ticles, stories and poems, yet it is
not so much for quantity as quail
ity that the number is notable.
The leading feature is a novelette,
by Edwards S. Nan lille, entitled
"How Captain Came to Remsen, -
which is fairly hilarious In it's de-
piction of a prosaic lawyer who
becomes suddenly seized with the
spirit and genius of the Immortal
composer. It is at once a psych-
oIogic study and a travesty on the
theory of reincarnatlon. The
second contribution of length is a
story in play form, entitled "The
Castle Builder" which is printed
anonymously, but from all the
ear-marks must have been written
by someone high in social position
who is absolutely familiar with
the characters and surrounding
conditions of the recognizable per-
sonages so pitilessly dissected .
There has not in years been print
ed another such sensational satire.
The Infanta Eulalie writes for the
number a very interesting opinion
of "The American Girl" whom
she studied on the occasion of her
memorable visit to the United
States. As a companion article,
Mrs. M. e. w. Sher wood dis
cusses s.L'Americaine'' as she ia
found abroad, particularly in
Paris. Both articles, one from
the viewpoint of the foreigner,
the other from that of a compa-
trion, are very interesting. One
of the most brilliant of Edgar
Isaltus's series of essays in The
Smart Set is the present contri-
button, "The Seventh Devil of
Our Lady," which is wholly
characteristic and fascinating.

London. November 14.-In
view of the recent attitude of
Count Goiuchowski, the Austros
Hungarian Foreign Minister, in
regard to the difference in the
standing of the heads of re-.
publics and Of monarchles,
the dictum Of King Edward,
holding that the honors to be
paid to Presidents and crowned
heads at the time of his Majesty's
coronation shall be identical, has
special interest.
The question arose during a
discussion of the details of tn g
decorations to be bestowed, and
the mode of entertainment of the
heads of states attending the
coronation. The King refused
point blank to distinguish be-
tween she titles of President,
King and Emperor, arguing that
his object was to honor the state
and not the man. No distinctions
will be made, except possibly in
the case Of near relations OF the
roval family.

There is the argument that appeals
to all of us, the convincing argument
of 143 more eggs from the flock in
the warm house than from the flock
in the cold one. Leaving the ques-
ton of expediency on one side and
the matter of avoiding the bother of
colds (and possibly roup resulting
from the colds) there is the substan-
tial benefit of some thirty per cent
more eggs from the birds sheltered
from the winter cold. It does not
require anything more than these
convincing figures to show the sub
stantial benefits to be gained by
simply shutting out the cold, and so
we repeat: IF you would have your
hens lay at seasons of the year when
eggs are scarce, they must have
conditions. ''Stop up those
cracks at once"

SALT LAKE Man SAYS
CLARK'S ROAD WILL Be BUILT

their general offices in Salt Lake city.
OF course, there are many chances for
slip, but everything now looks favorable
for the Clark road. The people in the
Utah capital are very confident that we
will have a railroad running directly to
the Pacific coast very shortly, and
would not be surprised to see both roads
completed as rapidly as possible.
1.-THE fight being made -et \ zen the
Short Line and the Clark people has
been carried, to a considerable extent.
into other business and political affairs
in our state and most everything is now
dated from the time the new roads will
be completed.
Some people in Utah have doubts
about the building of either the Short
Line or Mr.. Clark's road to the coast but
many others, who are in a better position
to know, are certain that one of the
lines, at least, will go through. We
know that Mr.. Clark and his associates
are perfectly able to construct the road
without the aid of outside capital. 1t does
not strike us seriously that the eastern
railroad magnates can pull Mr.. Clark
off if he takes to the idea that the road
will be a financial success. Mark what
I say, g new road will be running to the
coast from Salt Lake city within a COM
paratively short time"
