CHINATOWN IN SAN FRANCISCO.

A visit to San Francisco would be in
complete and unsatisfactory without a
trip to Chinatown, yet when once seen
few care to again endure the stencil and
filth for the sake OF seeing the "Hea.hen
Chinee" at home.
We left our hotel at eight p. m. accom-.
panied by a licensed guide-without
whom tourists are led to believe their
lives would not be worth a penny in
Chinatown. These guides have a gold
mine but owing to the Americanizing of
the Chinese from choice and from ne
cessity the guides have t draw some
what upon their imagination to satisfy
the expectations of the tourist. Only a
few blocks from the business center of
San Francisco n comes to the border
Of this Celestial empire and "goes down
into Chinatown" Truly it is down and
one feels as if he was fathoms deep be-
low the pure, sweet air of home, even
though home be a crowded city.
Chinatown comprises twelve blocks
and in this small space were formerly
some 10000 people. Now there are
probably 10000.
We FIRST visited the store of Sing Fat
& Co. where are beautiful oriental
goods Of every description. 1t would
take a long time to fully examine their
stock of rare and beautiful things and
long before that was done purses would
be empty.
A fashionable restaurant was next Wis.
tied. The tables looked quite tempting
with their array Of strange shaped dish
es and strange viands, but none of our
party cared to dine just then. In an.
other part OF the room men and women
were playing cards and gambling. Ali
were we'll dressed and good looking-fol
Chinese.
Through narrow, ill-smelling streets
past markets and fish stalls we followed
our leader. cannot vouch for the truth
of the statement, but we were told tina,
all the poultry and pork for the cit,
comes from Chinatown, the killing an6
preparation being done after dark. The
Chinese cook poultry in oil and suppl,
large quantities for the city trade cooked
ready to serve.
Our guide finally led the way into +:
narrow passage and down-down--rick
ETY. stairs and through damp, winding
passages where we were very careful
not to lose sight OF the one ahead lest W,
