RECEPTION TO ALICE ROOSEVELT

Interesting Function at the North

Building Last Week.
In the North Dakota booth at the
agricultural building at st. Louis on
Friday last occurred very pretty lit
tie reception to Miss Alice Roosevelt
and party rendered by Lieutenant
Governor Bartlett, manager Of the
North Dakota exhibit and Commission
er and Mrs. Steele. The place was
peculiarly fitting for the reception, 1t
being held in the Roosevelt cabin, in
which President Roosevelt spent con-
siderable time when a western ranch
man. The time Of the presidents
daughter was taken up with receptions
and other social functions, but when
Captain Cushing went down as special

Says SANDER Cost Pass.

st. Paul Globe: Because he lost
his influence with the Northern Pa
cific, which was sufficiently strong to
secure passes over the system, W.
Frank Marshall, land agent, has
brought suit in the district court
against Herbert H. Hamilton, charging
SANDER. The plaintiff says he has
been injured to the extent of $4,000.
Marshall, as land man, was &C.
customed to riding on the Northern
Pacific on a pass, privilege which he
enjoyed until last December, when a
pass which had been issued in his
name from st. Paul to Dickinson, N.
D.. and return, was found In the
possession Of another; person, and
taken up. The road has since refused
to issue any free transportation to Mr..
Marshall.
Mr.. Marshall says he did not secure
the pass, but that 1t was secured by,
or at the instance Of, the defendant
and without his knowledge. Mr.. Ham
ilton denies this charge, and is said
to have told Martin Bacon, immigra-
ton agent of the Northern Pacific,
that Marshall used the pass himself
in going to Dickinson. !.

distances are magnificent. And it is
all up hill and down dale There is no
level. The beauty spot Of the fair is
from the Hall of Festivals looking
down by the cascades over the lagoon,
flanked on four sides by magnificent
buildings, and ornamented with statu-
airy, flowers, and every thing that the
mind of man could conceive or the
skill of the artist execute. The illum-
ination at night is impressive. But
there is no vantage from which you
can obtain a satisfactory impression
of the fair as a whole unless you
should go up in balloon. -....,.,
Now it has been said that the
charges at various places in ST. Louis
and about the fair are excessive. This

miles in eight hours. or of walking from

De curbed and humbled and arrested in

REV David S, Spencer has been a

agrees with DR. Grifis that talk about
the yellow peril is all folderol. THE
Japanese determined upon the adoption
OF occidental ideals Of civilization in

with brilliant results. They have no

have done all they could to discourage

there is no braver people on earth than

WHY CHINESE DO WASHING,
Find the Work Easy and Can Get
Along Without Learning
Much English.

1t is certainly very strange that nine
out of every ten Cinnamon who have
come to the United States have become
Iaundrymen," said F. G. Simmons, of
Seattle, to a Washington Star man.
'lhey 40 not engage in this business
IN CHINA. As everyone knows, the Chi
hese at home wear soft cotton and fan
mel garments, according to the season.
and there is not pound Of starch in
emma Stlttly starChed collars and cuffs
are NOT known and the men do not do
the washing as they DO in this coun-
try. AS a matter of fact, there is not
a regular laundry in China.
Another thing that is noticeable is
the ingenuity of MIR. Chinaman dis
played in the signs and checks used in
the laundry business. Chinese is an
Geographic language 1t conveys the
idea, not the word. for thing.
The Chinese have invented more
than 10000 marks for their writing, but
it requires only about 5000 for general
mercantile purposes. For instance,
there are no characters in the Chinese
for letters of any such simple variations
as Roman and Arabic numerals. 1t is
therefore impossible 10 translate or
transliterate into Chinese such common
marks as A Or " g. In place of this
the Chinaman uses the ideographs for
the commoner facts of life. such as
moon house. dog bear, table,
chair and street In addition to this
he employs the numeral characters
from | up to 100
"A customer goes into a laundry un-
able to speak Chinese and gives his
package to man unable to understand
English. He receives in return a check
containing two characters. One repre-
sents the day Of the week or the month
and the second one of the facts men
toned, such as moon or lion The
slip is torn through the middle upon the
principle of legal indenture. 1t is i'm
possible to initiate the torn pieces so
that they will fit the half retained by
the laundry.
Then upon the daybook of the laun-
dry the proprietor enters under the day
of the week or month the telegraph
moon or lion assigned to the customer
and beneath this the articles left to be |
laundered. He then takes down from
a hook lot of muslin tags, on which |
are written in indelible Ink moon or |
lion l, 2, 3, 4, s, etc. One of these tags |
Is affixed to each article except the col |
lars and cuffs. To these one tag is af-
fixed, which is fastened by a strong
thread or cord tied through the button
hole in each article. In addition TO this
they often put private mark upon the
article to be cleaned, although this is
not very common. When the goods are
washed and ironed they are done up in
a package and the day and special char
acter are written on the outside. In
to this the half ticket is fas-
tened to II with pin. When the cus-
toner calls for his laundry he gives
up his half ticket, and II he is known
by sight the package Is handed to him.
II he is not known os Is suspected of
being confidence operator, and there
are many SUCH his half ticket Is fitted
to the laundry half ticket before he is
given the package"
