"A CHINESE HONEYMOON"
Elaborate Production Generously Re-
 ceived-Matin To-Day.

Elaborate Production Generously Re-
 ceived-Mat tinee To-Day.
 "A Chinese Honeymoon" as presented at the Hyperion theater last night, scored hit and added another to the already long list of successes. This pop ular comic opera has been presented in all of the theatrical centers in this coun- try and was received with enthusiasm. This is an exact description of the re- ception rendered it last night by one of the largest audiences of the season.
 The story evolved in the piece is a trivial one, but affords abundant oppor- tunity for the introduction of some ex- ceedingly beautiful music, very clever and witty explanations of many mistak- en identities and as may be well SUD- posed the music has the flavor of the Orient, which makes it very acceptable. The entire company is one of unusual excellence, especially John E. Hen- shaw, that splended and drol1 comedian as Samuel Pineapple, Miss Toby Claude as Fi Fi, W. H. Clark as Hang Chow, Emperor of Ylang- Ylang; Edward Clark as Tom Hatherton and Miss Belle Harper as Mrs. Pineapple and Miss May Ten Broeck, as Mrs. Brown, the official

THE pEMuRRAcE QUESTION.

The discussion of the question of de- murrage yesterday at the hoard of trade rooms brought out a number of in teresting facts. The Consolidated" road is a monopoly over a large area. which includes practically all this state. But there are monopolies vastly bigger than it is. and they have dictated to 1t. and the rule has been adopted and is ironclad and in force that twenty cents a day shall be paid for every car of other roads used by any road, including the road that controls the traffic in this state. If a shipper keeps car four days in this state as permitted by law, the company has to meet that addi- tional charge. Moreover. as the Con solidated' has, under our law, been granting this Sour days use in this state, it has necessarily had to grant the same privilege in Rhode Island and Massachusetts. When the "Consolidat- ed' established that rule, the Boston and Maine and the Boston and Albany had to do the same by their shippers, and so four days has become the univer- sal New England custom. A result of this has been that in the recognized scarcity of cars the other roads have discriminated against New England, and when choice had to be made have sent their cars elsewhere; and this has caused much annoying delay to people kereabouts regarding the freight they expected.
 The new rule makes the twenty cents a day per car a. direct charge upon the Consolidated" and it's managers ask
 that the law be so changed as to con- form to the laws of other states and so
 to put this part of the country on par with the rest and enable them to col-
 lect the money from those who bring ! the charge upon them. It certainly sounds like business to set out the prop
 osition that the outlay will have to come back to them as it does to other roads. Presumably it will have to go upon all
 traffic, or else upon those in particular who themselves incur the expense. From the railroad side the case seems plausi-
 ble. From the side of the shipper the | question is how much extra 1t is going | to cost him and whether he cannot hur-
 " things up as shippers in other parts | ot the country have to do.-Hartford | Courant.

But on the other hand, if filling was the requirement, the process was of a more slow and tedious nasure. The patient having a cavity to fill would usually make an appointment for Sunday, as good part of day was necessary for the operation.
 The doctor would go to his camp fire, which was situated about fifty feet from his cradle, and temper his instruments. Here a small powder answered very we'll for a forge. When the tools were got into shape work was begun on the patient. ... .&
 Small pieces of wire from six to eight inches in length and fiattened out con stituted the excavators. Constant rub ping of a smooth rock just as a knife is sharpened on whetstone. kept them sharp. Filings were made from gold nuggets scraped with pocket knife in- to small shavings, then amalgamated with mercury. Silver coin was also used at times. although silver was a very scarce article in that day. Aheavy piece of wire as a plugger to insert the filling. When this filling crystalized it made a very lasting one.
 Every, day while pr. Harris worked his claim he had one or more patients. For the reason he came to California to hunt gold and not to fill teeth, he did not encourage business. As the coun- try settled around him the pioneer dentist turned his practice over to others who came in later, and when he left that section he did not leave them without dentist.-San Francisco Chronicle.

THE WOMAN OF FIFTY.

To-Day She May be a Girl, Al
 though Sixty Years Ago She Was
 Old.
 There was one thing, at least, inci- dent to good old days for which the modern woman never signs, and that is that definite line which, marked the boundary between youth and old age. The woman who to-day is celebrated for distinctive charm and beauty, ripe views, disciplined intellect, cultivated and manifold gifts, would score years ago, have been relegated to the heavy ranks of the dowagers and grand mothers--forced by the stern of prevail ing opinion to confront the bitter know ledge that just as she had gained a mastery of the rules, she was expected to retire from. the game.
 Consequently, when the elder novel; ists drew heroine, she was beautiful seventeen; and her anti thesis and foil was the snubbed spinster governess, invariably described as nine- and-twenty, with lines of age and grief graven deep on her face. The feminine novelists, never dreaming of deviating from the accepted masculine standard. all followed suit until Charlotte Bronte depicted Jane Eyre, and the novel-read- ing world trembled as with a volcanic knock and awaited chaos.
 In those happy days 40 was respect able age, if viewed from the matronly standpoint; but at fifty, one prepared for death. The woman who had reached that age must smooth back her locks, perhaps unthreaded by gray. un- der a snowy cap, crush her hearts as- pirations under the Juggernaut car of convention, adopt garments suitable to her age-rich, perhaps, but dark and unbecoming-and keep ever before her mind the fact that she was an old wo- man, until in utmost truth she was.
 A question which might elicit consid- erable interesting discussion is: Why are the typical modern women at twen- ty and even thirty years younger in manners, dress and appearance than were their grandmothers at the same age? One might reply very pertinent ly that, In the first place. they have de- cided not to grow old; and, believe me- it is largely question of will. Having made this decision, they seek the means which shall enable them tO retain their youthful appearance. They understand that beauty and ill-henltll are not con- genial companions; subsequently,. the women of to-day live much in the open

A CHINESE EIrNER AL.

Never has Chinatown seen a more inn posing funeral procession than that which followed to the grave Chew Qul Qui Yet, president Of the Kong Chow asylum, the oldest and richest of the Six companies, Chew Qui Yet had been a noted Canton judge, and was called to San Francisco many months ago to serve two years term as head of the powerful Kong Chow asylum. Beside the body stood numbers of brilliantly clad dolls in the dress of mandarins and court ladies, which were to be burned at the grave of the great man, and thus to accompany his spirit into the other world that he might be attended by such servants and friends as befitted his station. The room was filled with mourners in blue and white robes ming ling with the many visitors. Outside in a court there was a glorious feast whole roasted pigs that might tempt the appetite of the most spiritual ghost, and cakes and other delicacies to be placed upon the grave.
 When the funeral procession started from the house it was preceded by a regulation American band, playing a classic dirge. Behind the band was a two-horse trap, in which were seated two mourners, bearing a huge portrait of the dead man wreathed in flowers Then came mourners in white robes, carrying lanterns of dark blue and gold, and one lofty red banner, which recited the history of Chew Qui Yet and told what remarkable man he had been. Then followed a group of men beating upon the tomtom, in quaint and weird way, that combined with the dirge of the band at the head of the procession, proved trying, to equestrian nerves, along the line of march to Chinatown. In the midst of this group walked the chief mourner-an old man, bent and feeble, tottering under the weight of the jar of incense he bore, Behind him marched the chiefs of the Kong Chow asylum, in their light blue robes and black caps, a striking body of stately men, none the less impressive because they carried umbrellas. A long line of carriages, in which sat bepurpled and begilded dignitaries and prominent Chinese merchants in the robe of mourning closed this unusual and lengthy funeral procession.-Sa Fran cisco Chronicle.

MAKE IT OVER.
chanee of Diet Will Build An Entire New - Body.

Change or DieI :" Fa RcdW dv'" fA" A"'"e Ne"
 People can be entirely made over by 8 scientific course of food and drink. Even old, chronic diseases and heredit- sry ailments are eliminated by the won- derful processes of reconstruction under modern methods of feeding.
 An illustration is worth attention, A 1adv writes, T feel this letter will ex- ceed all reasonable bounds but how can be brief when I have so much to tell. First about myself. I inherited nervous headaches and half invalid condition. I had to give up tea and coffee, but some months ago a friend insisted that I. start on Postum Food Coffee and ,Grape-Nuts breakfast food.
 1T prepared the coffee myself. care- fully according to directions on the package, and used good cream. The first cup seemed the most delicious and satisfying drink I had ever tasted. I drained it and filled it again, I was im- pressed with the idea that it was just what my starved nerves demanded. So used Postum and Grape-Nuts with good rich cream. Now for about four weeks have been entirely free from headaches and nervousness, and am feeling unusually strong and well. There has also been a marked change in my appearance. I am r years old and my hair is very white, but the hag- gard, care-w worn look is entirely gone from my face, my cheeks and body have filled out, the face shows fine color, flesh firm and smooth, eyes clear and nTx, fyfa 1s 4l,1 change and say I look 15 years younger. They are incredulous when I tell them that skillful feeding on scientific food like Grape-Nuts and Postum Food Cof- fee has wrought the change.
 Now as to my son 26 years old who has been afflicted with epilepsy from infancy. I hardly dare tell the facts, but he is here in the body to prove them He has had the best, treatment in this country all without perceptible benefit His memory was gradually growing weaker. At the time I started on Pos tum and Grape-Nuts he started also, and the change in him has been so wonderful that I can hardly describe 1t. Now he carries himself erect instead of in his former careless way, his eyes are Cledi anu uilSht, anu oeSt ol til HIS memory is growing stronger and stron- ger every day, until am fairly over- come with astonishment He shows decision of character quite unusual and has lately expressed strong desire to study. I dare not say what hopes his improvement has raised.
 y'It is perfectly evident that bodies and brains can be rebuilt by skillful feeding and that means Postum Food Coffee and Grape-Nuts.'' Name given by Postum O.. Battle Creek, Mich.

mOther-in-Iaw. The chorus in its en- tirety is certainly composed of the prettiest young women who have been here this season. and their costumes are unusually elaborate. The same mag nificent costumes and gorgeous scenic embellishments, which characterized the New York production. were in evidence last night. The music contains many songs on an original line, and were gen. erously received Some of them are among the popular favorites of the day and their repated rendition was de- manded.

iiC DldAG Uil <aNLANS
 Yesterday.
 At 9:45 yesterday morning an alarm rung from box Il brought the firemen to small blaze in the two-story frame house at 255 Grand avenue. The build ing is owned by Garrett Roman and his wife, and the lower floor is used by them for a shoemaker's shop, conduct ed by Roman, and confectionery store under the charge of Mrs. Roman.
 The fire started from the outside of the house, at one of the corners in the rear of the building. The. blaze was seen before,it had got fairly started and the damage done will amount to about $150. ;:sc ;. -.
 Chief Fancherl stated. that the blaze had the appearance of being the work of a firebug.s The same house was found to be on fire on Wednesday. At that time. the blaze was inside of the house and was thought to be the result of accident. Both occurrences will be investigated by the fire marshal.

"A FoRTY-NINER" DENTIST.
Outdoor Office, Sky for Roof, Big
 Prices and Nuggets for Filling. !

Outdoor Office, Sky for Roof, Big
 Prices and Nuggets for Filling.
 A smooth powder for a chair, high towering walls of impregnable granite for walls and the blue sky for a roof were the unique conditions surround ing what was probably the first dental office in California. The dentist was Dr. s. M. Harris, then, known as Little Doc" to-day Mayor of Grass Valley, Nevada county.
 This odd dental office was founded in the day when men rocked cradles with more cherished burdens than new born babies; when caravans of people flocked into California in search of gold; when the founders of this great State took up their habitation in a wild and desolate country.
 When you arrived at Dr. Harris of- flee there was a noticeable absence of the plusn-covered1 chair and other &C., couterments which usually mark the dentists office. There was no drill run by foot power, no bulb to wash out the cavity. For 8 chair the smooth bowl der in which Dr. Harris sat when rock Ing his cradle answered this requisite. For a drill short pieces of wire were used, and when a cavity was ready for filling and needed cleansing with water the patient was handed tip dipper and the stream furnished the water.
 The charge for this work was rather in advance of present day fees, but there was never trouble over payment after an aching member was extracted. One-half ounce of gold--the equivalent of $S-was the fee for extraction, and for filling double that amount.
 When a. patient arrived there were a few formalities to go through as in most cases neither knew the other. If the case was one of extraction, the den- tist would go to his camp and get a pair of forceps-the only article be- longing to the dentists kit which he then owned-and extract the tooth.
