cally unknown, and the teeming mill
ions of Chinese make their daily rice
by performing tasks by hand that in
this country would be performed by
machines. Once let Chinese conserva-
tism be broken up, however, by the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the Empire. and the
inevitable result would be that the
Chinese, who are shrewd and industri
Gus, would learn to use machinery, and
what country could then compete with
China in the production of cheap manu-
features. The worst paid laborer of
Germany, Belgium or France could
never compete with Chinese labor, for
the Chinaman can work untiringly
amid squalid surroundings that would
kill any white man, and the Chinaman
can fatten on diet that would mean
famine to Caucasian. China for the
Chinese is cry that every Californ-
ian is willing to say a devout Amen"
to.
The news that Japanese torpedo boats
have attacked the Russian squadron in
the outer roads at Port Arthur seems
to be official. The little brown men
are pouring into Corea, and have thus
far scored the first success of the war,
unchanged.
Latest estimates place the total loss
by the fire which is still smculdering in
the heart of Baltimore at one hundred
million dollars. Most of the business
center of the city has been destroyed.
Alyinza Hayward, an old California
pioneer is dying at the house of Chas.
ID. Lane, 3l20 Clay street. He was
stricken with paralysis week ago and
was taken to the home of his mining
partner, Mr.. Lane, because it was
feared he would be unable to stand the
trip to his own residence at San Mateo.
He has since been under the care of
DR.. J. ID. Arnold, who as well as being
his physician is also his associate in a
number of mining ventures. Mr.. Hay
ward lacks but few days of being 80
years old. During the last fifteen years
he has had several severe attacks of i'll
ness, but his energy and untiring inter-
est in business kept him still in harness
till a week ago, when he broke down in
his office for the last time. He is not
expected to survive for many hours.
Loves Young Dream is over for
Theo. O. Heydenfeldt, Judge Sloss hav-
ing severed the marital bonds between
him and the pretty Josephine Heyden-
feldt three days ago. The grounds on
which the girl secured her divorce
were cruelty, it having been shown
that Heydenfeldt struck and abused
her. The lady is now studying to be-
come trained nurse.
The exhibition of Alaska gold and
gold mining on Market street is closed.
Its untimely end is mournful instance
of the mistake of not advertising. The
general public never heard of the ex-
hibition because its promoters, while
getting together a fine display, had ap-
parently no idea whatever of the need
of publicity. Had the exhibit been free
the newspapers would have given it
considerable space on account of its in
trinsic merits, but the little entrance
fee of ten cents placed it in the cate
CORY of paid amusements, and there
fore free advertising was not accorded
it. One little advertisement was bur-
led away in the columns of one morning
paper, but even that was inserted APP
parently without any proviso that the
exhibition should figure among the
city's amusements in the theatre col
umn. In the present day one might as
well open a show in the heart of the
Sahara Desert, as attempt an exhibit
ton in big city without advertising it
