DEATH OF MRS. A. L. CALLOW.

The death OF Mrs. Callow at IL A.
NJ. last Saturday came as a shock upon
a community where she was known sc
we'll. The suddenness of the attack
and its speedy result, left many
friends oblivious OF her serious illness
and the first intimation came in the
announcement of her death. She
died of peritonitis, caused doubtless
by fall she had sustained few days
previous to development of the disease
She was taken i'll Wednesday, of last
week, and despite every effort OF
skilled doctors and experienced nurses,
she gradually became worse until
death relieved her suffering.
Mary Emma Chilberg was born in
Iowa November 16, 1869. With her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Isaac Chilberg
she came to Olympia while an infant.
Shortly after the arrival of the family
here her mother died. After few
years in Olympia the family took up
its residence at LaConner, in Skagit
county. In 1888 she returned to this
city to attend the Olympia Collegiate
Institute, and she graduated from that
institution in the class OF 1890. Ar.
thur J.. Callow, who later became her
husband, was a member OF the same
graduating class. They were married
at Pleasant Ridge. Skagit county, Nov.
Is, 1898, and two children were born
to them-Lewis, aged 6 years, and Dor
is, III months, who remain to mourn
loss of devoted mother. Mrs. Cal.
low was one of natures noble women,
true friend and unselfish in the ex-
treme. She had many warm friends
in this city and they unite in express.
ing their sympathy with the sorrowing
husband and motherless children.
She was member OF the order OF Re.
bekahs aud had always taken q prom.
inent part in it's affairs. She was also
q member Of the Diversity club.
The funeral services were held at
the Callow residence on Tenth street,
Tuesday afternoon, under the minis
trations of Rev. A. g. Sawin, and at
the grave the ceremonies were con

Presidential Appointments.

Newberry Observer.
There has been some criticism of
John G. Capers, the new appointee
for district attorney, on account of
his political course. Appointed to
Office first under democratic admin
istratiop, he held on when the repub-
lican party returned to power; and
now has been appointed to one of
the highest Offices in the gift Of the
president. He has profted by pcli,
tics, and therefore it is in the power
of critics to say that he is repubh-
can for revenue only; that he has
changed his political views from in
terested motives. Nobody but himself
knows whether this is true; we do
not believe it is, because we do not
believe that he is the kind Of man
ITO crook the pregnant hinges OF the knee
That thri may follow fawnlng.
It is easy to understand his change
of views. In the first place, there
has been, a very decided change in

Goliah's Reply to P. J. Rucker.
To the Edition of the Dispatch:

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Please allow me space in your
valuable paper to talk word with
MI. Rucker.
Mr.. Rucker, since when has Goliah
come to life? He has been dead
years and years ago. I know what
you meant when you called me Goliah
I read the Bible, too, some times.
Thank you for calling me a man. I
am man sure enough, but woman
and widow woman at that, just
about your age and I am expecting
to be your next wife.
I have the advantage of you MIR.
Rucker, I know where you live and I
know your occupation, but you like
a lot of knowing anything about me
when you called me man.
know that Sam Jones said the
dog that's hit is the one that howls,
but it is the yellow dog that makes
laws and can't carry them into effect,
so I will help you to be the yellow
dog. I will be the head and you the
tail and so We will make laws right.
Now, Mr.. Rucker, I am not calling
you nor myself a yellow dog, but it
takes yellow dog to act big, walk
up now, sir, and we will form line.
The following are the laws that I
am going to make when women are
allowed to pass resolutions, and ex-
pect to carry them out strictly to the
end. These are my laws:
Any man that will sell half rotten
mackerel and have people sick on
them is to have twenty-five feet of
his nose cut off.
Any merchant that will not keep
his store clean on the floor is to be
hung till his neck stretches three
feet long.
Any man that keeps a store in
town and don't buy cotton and give
ten cents pound for it, is to be
hung out in the rain one whole
night.
A wo man to this prayer instead
of man. Goliah.

political conditions since be was ap-

political conditions since be was sp.
pointed as democrat. In the
second place, the democratic party
has drifted very far from the C!e7e-
land democracy, which was dominant
when he was appointed. But, above
all else, he has been treated kindly
by the republican administration and
would naturally feel that it's policy is
the correct one.
But, it is said the appointment OF
Mr.. Capers and of others that are
likely to follow will have very little
influence in building up republican
party in the State. Maybe so. The
few who will 60 into the party for
the loaves and fishes, encouraged by
his appointment, would count for
very little in presidential campaign.
But if the president will continue in
the same line; if he will zee to it
that all the appointees in the south
ern states ale white men, capable and
! men of character, whether they are
democrats or republicans, it will
bring about a kindly disposition to-
ward the south. With the great
mass of people it is not a matter Of
much coz Germ who the officers are
just SO they are capable and white
and are men who have never had
anything to do with foisting negro
rule on the state are in no way mixed
up in the party rascalities in the
days of good stealing.
Such appointments as that of Col.
Capers will have considerable ipfu-
ence towards building up repubIi-
can party in the south among people
who are not politicians at sll, but
who want to see q more national
spirit and more progressive policy
than the democratic party can now
lay claim to. There is only one way
TO prevent it, and that is for the
democrotic party to adopt a more
progressive and broader policy and
cut loose from dead issues and out
of-dste leaders.

The Man Who Knows It All.

You bump up against him every
where, in country and in town;
Upon his sadly swollen head he
wears the knowledge crown.
His bump of self-esteem stands out
like knots upon log;
His egotism never yet was known to
slip cog.
His self assurance has its stamp for
ever in his eyes;
No gray and patriarcbal owl could
ever look 80 wise.
he is constant suf'rer from en-
largement of the gall
And petrifsction of the cheek, the
man who knows it all.
He has an unimpeded flow of Ian
guage at command;
His sctive, tireless tongue is Of the
automatic brand.
His nasal organ he inserts 10 every
ene's affairs;
He sows tie grain of knowledge,
while his neighbors SOW tie tares.
No matter what the theme may be,
he's posted up to date;
The information that he bears would
wreck common pate.
He thinks without his guidance this
terrestrial whirling ball
Would cease to take It's daily spin,
the man who knows it all.

"Don't you reckon I know whether
it is or not? Whose connundrum is
this, yours or mine?'
"Well, she's like an umbrella be-
cause-it isn't because she fades with
age, is it ?"
"You ought to be ashamed of
yourself"
Il am. It's because you have to
put up when it's cloudy or threaten

GIRL LIFE IN PaO.TING.FU.
Description Of the Daily Programme in
a Chinese School.

Among the missionaries of the
American Board at Pao-Ting- Flu,
China, is Miss. Mary S. Morril, a
teacher in the girls school there. In
a recent letter she gives the follow
ing interesting account of day in q
Chinese girls school life. The first
bell rings at 6:l5 o'clock, and at once
the work OF the morning toilet begins.
TIE girls dress alike, each costume
consisting Of pair Of loose, baggy
trousers, which are fastened at the
ankle by strong ribbon, and sack
that reaches nes:ly to the knees.
The latter has FIVE buttons, one at
the throat, one at the right shoulder
and three under the arm.
"One of the girls always sees that
the water in the bathroom is warmed
for the morning face washing, be
cause Chinese would shiver in as
tonishment when she expected, even
in SIMMER. TO make her toilet with
cold water. Breakfast frequently
consists of cornmeal cakes, cabbage
stew and the remainder of previous
nights porridge. White flour, be-
ing special treat, is used only twice
a week. This is ususlly accompanied
by little meat, which is chopped
fine with cabbage and onions. Sweet
potatoes and turnips, fresh and salt
ed, make variety in the weeks bill
of-fare. Supper consists Of porridge
made of cornmeal, millet and rice.
Beans are often mixed with the mil
let and rice.
"The girls do their own launder-
ing. Instead of being ironed the
clothes are folded smoothly while
damp, and laid upon stone slab and
pounded vigorously with wooden
pestles.
"S.udying aloud, which often makes
a bedlam of Oriental classrooms, is a
thing of the past in our school, but
the expression on the pupils faces
while they are silently pursuing their
lessons often reminds me OF the looks
that the hack drivers wore after they
were forbidden to hawk Cab! cab!
cab!' The 'holler is still there as
small friend tnce remarked as she
looked at row of the silent horse
men.
"For recreation there are swings,
jumping ropes AID jackstones, and
the girls all enjoy weaving articles
out of cornstalks. The retiring bell
rings at $50 o'clock. The crusade
against foot binding has been waged
with success in Pao Ting Fu."
