Booker 7. Mashington has captured

Booker T. Washington has captured
the Pacific slope. His appearance,
speeches and daily movements have
been the signal for honors second to
those accorded no visitor who has yet
made his way through the beautiful
valley of the Yosemite. The great
crowds that follow him, and the en-
thusiasm engendered in every COM
munity find no parallel save in the
famous tour of the State by the late
President Mckinley, and in some
cases even greater interest is shown
by the admirers of the worlds most
eminent Negro educator The follow
ing extract from the Los Angeles Re
cord, of January 2, will give an idea
OF the scenes occurring in that cele-
brated center of wealth and culture
during DR.. WashingtCn's sojourn. The
comparisons Instituted by the paper are
highly significant, and offer quite an
extensive field for study. Said the Re
cord:
Booker T. Washington received an
ovation to-day when he delivered his
first address in this city, at the Wo-
mems club house, greater than that ac-
corded the immortal President Nc
Kinley in 1900
Los Angeles club women evidently
made decided distinction between
the colored people as individuals and
colored people as a race.
They demonstrated conclusively to-
day that they will follow fashion. be
the fad even to the extent of courting
the favor of colored man.

women, who so generously applauded
every look and act of Booker T. Wash

debaters who would willingly have

HID 4 ROUGH PASSAGE.
The st. Paul Had a Stormy Voyage
Across the Atlantic.

New York. Feb. 2-The American liner
St, Paul arrived today from Southampton
and Cherbourg. having been delayed by ex-
tremely bad weather. The steamer left
Southampton at noon, January "A. and
soon after a crack was found in one Of
the cylinder caps. The defect proved so
serious that Captain Jamisen decided to
have it repaired before proceeding After
a del4y of ten hours the necessary repairs
were made and the steamer got under way
again. The St. Paul arrived at Cherbourg
at l:47 a. m. January %, too late to take
on passengers. She was therefore obliged
to wait for daylight finally passing out
Of the harbor at 1852 in the morning
From the channel the steamer ran into
stormy weather which continued without
cessation throughout. Heavy southwest
and west gales prevailed with southwest
erly swells. making a very rough passage
After leaving the quarantine station the
St Paul anchored off Tompkinsville and
displayed two black balls, indicating that
she was not under command, She re-
NAMED at anchor about 20 minutes and
started for her pier.

CLARA BARTON WAS ANGRY
President Roosevelt Receives a sar-
castle Letter.

New York, Feb 2.-Replying to the
recent letter of the presidents secretary,
George B. Cortelyou. requesting that
public announcement be made that the
president of the United States and his
cabinet cannot serve as a board of con-
sultatio of the American National Red
Cross, Miss Clara Barton, president or
the society. has addressed an explana-
tory letter to President Roosevelt
Referring to article 4 of the cohstitu-
ton of the Red Cross providing for a
board of consultation, consisting of the
president and his cabinet and certain
high officers of the army, Miss Barton
points out that this provision was fully
endorsed by President Arthur and his
entire cabinet, and accepted by succeed
ing administrations.
Continuing. Miss Barton writes: i
recite these facts to you, Mr.. President,
as an earnest that neither was usurpa-
ton practiced nor discOurtesy intended
in the late needed changes Of the article
of the constitution
Thus. Mr.. President, If in the con-
tinuing of your honored name and that
of your cabinet in our administration OF
the Red Cross have committed an err
ror so grave s to merit reprImand
and be required to make an open denial
before the world of the privileges have
assumed, the powers I have usurped
the disrespect shown the honored heads
of the nation and by unavoidable and
deep humiliation fhereas. SnaH prove
my good citizenship by exact and will
ing conformity with and obedience &c
the commands by the publication OF
your honored letter and such replies as
1 have been able to make. in order that
no misunderstanding of your relations
can possibly occur"
The letter concludes thus: Trusting
that these concessions, faithfully sub
rnitted. may prove a sufficient notice and
guarantee to the public of the discon-
nection which you desire from the or
ganization which have so long had tbs
pain to conduct I have the honor tc
subscribe myself. your obedient country
woman Clara Barton

BEAUTIFUL LOS ANGELES.
City of Delights for Tourist and
Homeseeker.

Los Angeles. the city of The An
giles, is the most marvellous city IN
southern California. OF modern
growth comparatively (for the older Los
Angeles is but a memory it has now
population of 102.479. AS one writer well
puts ii the Los Angeles of the older
days is like the fragment of a half
forgotten dream-the Plaza, the Mission
church. the remnants of Sonora town.
or the quaint home OF some Old-t1me
dignitary, serve to stir the imagination
and to remind the visitor that here half
a century ago another civilization eX-
listed. but in the Los Angeles of today
the pueblo plays no part. and the sound
Of the Angelus is lost in the citys roar.
Los Angeles is a city of commanding
views. it sweeps down from the heights
toward the ocean and the setting sun.
From thousand vantage points vast
panOramas Of landscape of mountain,
ocean and valley delight the eye. It IS
city perfumed with roses: il is gar

miles of paved boulevards, in far-reach-
ing level ViStas, oNer-arched with the
bending branches of protecting trees, or
winding through eanons. along bold
brows of the hills or over the ridge tops,
are endless invitations TO travel.
The palm, magnolia. pepper, eucal-
yptus, acacia, china berry, greviIla,
catalpa, umbrella tree. and the endless
cypress, and many of the trees familiar
in the east as favOrites furnishing drive
way shadow are everywhere. Broad
leafed bananas, mammoth century
plants, tree geraniums. and housetop
reaching roses. give the city semi
trapic gald-day appearance
The city has numerous parks-West-
lake, Eastlake, Flysiau, and Griffith,
the latter a natural scenic spot of 5000
acres Los Angeles has fine homes with
spacious lawns ever green, countless
trees, graveled drive-ways, and embow-
cred with the luxuriance of the flowers
