CHINESE BABY's DRESS.
There is a suppressed excitement
visible on the countenances of the
matrons Of a Baptist congregation
whose church is not far from the
business section. Surely the mere
announcement of sewing session for
next Thursday afternoon Is not suf-
ficient explanation for the significant
smiles and nudges that passed when
notice of the meeting was given.
The reason as correctly whispered
by one of the ladies lays in the ex-
pected advent of wee celestial into
the home of Moy Sing, who is a men,
Der of the Chinese mission school
over which this Baptist church keeps
a watchful eye.
The ladies learned Of the situation
in the Moy Sing household. sympa-
thetically volunteered to attend to
the wardrobe shortly necessary and
voted a committee to visit upon the
fair representative of the Flowery
Kingdom and learn her wishes.
won't you show us how the babies
in China are dressed?" they asked
her.
me no want China dless," was the
emphatic response. I'VE want Nell
can dless." and the ladies heaved a
unanimous sigh of relief.
American babies they were familiar
with and it was, plain sailing. but to
properly design fitting costume for
a baby Chinaman was beyond the
power of the kindly matrons.

DR.. VAN 0SDEL TURNS
attention TO VICE

Rev. Dr,J. oliver Van Osdel used
his bare knuckles on iniquity in Spo-
kane at the services in the First Bap-
fist church last evening.
The eloquent Baptist divine does
not allow himself to be lightly drawn
into discussions of social evils and
b the announcement that he would
touch upon the immortality Of Spo-
kane served to fill the editice.
DIR. Van Osdel traced the three
recent tragedies that have shocked
Spokane to the saloons, and said that.
although the slayer of Ella Mundt
was undoubtedly crazcd by drink, he
should suffer the death penalty, and
the men who sold him the drink, with
the authorities who licensed It's SELL
ing. should also be punished.
Then the preacher brought the
iimelight to bear upon the question
that is at present nearest the First
Baptist church's heart-that of the
contemplated opening of a saloon in
the church neighborhood on Second
ave.
II have been told" said DIR. Van
Osdel that the place is to be a
German boarding house and l visited
the premises.
II found that the basement va
fitted up evidently for a bowling al
ley. the first floor front as a saloon
and in the rear of the saloon were
~ little rooms divided six on side
by a narrow hallway. The upper floor
had IS of these small rooms, divided
by narrow hallway.

are the 'boarders' to eat? saw nc

necessarily since he assumed office
and the result of his efforts against
the so-called packers combine is
awaited with keen interest. The re-
port of Special Commissioners Kinley
is extremely favorable to the attorney
generals side of the case. The re-
port finds that the Armours. Swifts,
Nelson Morris and other big COM
panies are guilty of combining to fix
and maintain prices for the sale of
dressed beef in st. Joseph, ST. Louis
and Kansas City in violation of the
laws of the state.

STATE Federation

The trouble arising over the pro-
posed revision of the constitution and
bylaws of the trades council will not
confine itself to Spokane alone. but
will affect the entire state. 1t was
stated this morning by one of the
delegates of the American Labor
union that on account of the inser-
ton of the clause in the constitu-
ton demanding that all unions affili-
ate with the American Federation Of
Labor the American Labor union will
withdraw from the Washington State
Federation of Labor and that If the
council adopts the revision as sug-
gestsd by the committee. the branches
of the A. L. U. in Spokane will form
central body of their own.
