The more serious news however, is that the
Chinese guilds will boycott American goods. In
asmuch as the output of American factories has
been finding a ready market in China, the action
of the Chinese guilds is apt to give other nations
a commercial advantage and injure American
trade permanently. On this point the Chicago
Tribune says:
1t may be that the michief is done and
that the Chinese merchants will not lift their
boycott because the president has instructed
immigration officers to be courteous. They
will be likely to wait until they see that Chi :.
nese merchants, students, and professional
men as respectfully and considerably
treated at an American port as they are at
an English French, or German port. Ameri-
cans have heard much during the last few
years of the "Open door" in China. They have
applauded the diplomacy whose aim was the
keeping open of the door SO that Euro
pean nation might acquire trade monopoly
in any portion of the Chinese empire. It
would be sad finale to Secretary Hays
labors if the door were to be closed to Amer
cans for the reason assigned by the Chinese
guilds. II English, German, and Japanese
shall monopolize Chinese trade, while the
Americans are left out in the cold, it will
serve to show how much harm oppressive reg
ulations and discourteous officials can do.

The Springfield Republican holds that the
Pacific coast prejudice must give way to the de-
mand from eastern business interests that the
Chinese exclusion act be modified:
Once the country is aroused by the I'M
doubted excuses of the present policy and
the damage it is likely to do to American
commerce, a very powerful agitation in favor
of less drastic legislation would be the re-
suit and it is very doubtful that the electoral
votes on the Pacific coast would have any
potency in deciding the ultimate issue. The
exclusion of Chinese laborers may be de-
Tended with far more force than the exclusion
of the higher classes, and what must be done
is to abandon those features of the law that
render possible and perhaps unavoidable the
extremely ANNOYING episodes in which Chi
nese merchants. students travellers and OFF,
Gals are so deeply Inundated and harrassed
> whenever they chance to get within the three
mile limit of our coast. The exclusion policy
should be strictly confined to the regulation
of the cooe immigration, and the people of
u the Pacific coast states should recognize the
necessity for compromising with the other
sections of the country on that basis
The Post-Dispatch of st. Louis hears that
the Chinese have decided to take revenge by
perpetrating practical joke:
Now comes word that whereas We photo
graph Chinese, they propose to fumigate
Americans entering China. The entrance fee

Death In Orange, Mass, Of Stephen
French, a Pioneer Sewing Machine
Manufacturer.
Stephen French, one of the wealthiest
and most prominent men in Orange,
Mass, died Thursday, aged so years, 10
months. Mr.. French had been sick for
a number of months, and during the past
two weeks his death has been expected at
any time. He leaves two sons and one
daughter. The older son, Frank s., is
in business in Worcester; Stephen E., the
younger son, is in business in Athol. The
daughter is Mrs F. S. Weymouth. The
funeral was held in the home at O'Clock,
Sunday with interment in Central GEM
etery.
Mr. French was born in Dummerston,
VT, in 1928 He came of Green Mountain
stock and until he was 10 years old work.
ed on his fathers farm. At that age he
went to East Templeton, where he en-
gagged in the chair business. Nine years
served to acquaint him with this branch
of manufacture. and he then went to
Ohio, where he embarked in the chair
business. This was not a successful VEN
ture and he next tried his luck in various
lines of mercantile work in New York city.
A short time after he returned to East
Templeton, and again took up his trade.
The gold fever claimed him as one of
its followers in 1857, when with a party
of wealth hunters, he went to California.
1t was in 1861 that he first became in
terested in the sewing machine business.
He entered the employ of Thomas H.
White, a sewing machine manufacturer,
then located in Templeton. While with
the White company Mr.. French invented
a number of appliances which were
capital arrangements for the machines
of that time. In 1862 Mr.. White and Mr..
French came to Orange, where they es-
tablished a sewing machine factory, and
until 1866 continued the manufacture, at
which time Mr.. White left for Cleveland.
The Gold Medal Sewing Machine COM
pany was next organized in Orange, with
Mr.. French as superintendent where he
remained until the New Home company
was formed, when he sold out his inter-
estS and went to Kansas, being engaged
there for two years in the banking bust
ness. The conclusion of two years saw
Mr. French again back in Orange, and
again connected with the New Home
company. He severed his connection
with the company a short time ago, and
since has devoted his time to the care of
considerable real estate, which ne had
acquired during his life. AS a citizen of
the town, he was we'll liked, affable, and
interested himself greatly in the young
people who were striving to make a place
for themselves in the world. 1t is said
that there are many young people who
owe their success in life to Mr.. French.
