NO RUSH" TO MEXICO.

The excursion to Old Mexico, which
has been advertised IN the local papers
for some time, under the auspices OF
the Utah-Mexican Sugar ana Livestock
Company, has created some mIsunder-
standing as to the purpose Of the pro.
moters Of the expedition and Of the
travellers who have arranged 20 take

company we have named are considered
so bright that number OF cnterpris-

themselves, and the railway companies
whose lines reach TO the point Of dcsti.

round trip at very reasonable figure.

81 years In China, and who therefore

Or. Martin, In an article IN the Worlds

instructions of the great viceroy Chang.

terests. unless there Is some change In
our own policy He says the United
States has repeatedly broken It's word
to China, and that Chinese citizens have
been maltreated here, mt our custom
houses, and In our cities and states. He
relates two Incidents illustrating his
statement. One Is the treatment Of
Tom King Yung in San Francisco,
which was so outrageous that the poor
fellow committed suicide; another n
the lawless raid upon the Cinnamon In
Boston IN 1902. on which occasion mer-
chants and laborers were thrown into
wagons; go were crowded into two

Every woman over that age will be marked 23 and requested to skiddoo, This is painful. It is unkind What is worse, 1t is impracticable We are glad the task is to be performed by women. No man nor set of men would ever have dared tackle such a problem-not they. This is simply another example of woman's inhu. nanity to woman.
 We have been told for many ages that a woman is as old as she looks and man is as old as he feels. Just now, We say it with regret, most wem- en look like 60 and most men feel Ike Methuselah. But the general rule seems good one. II is plain, m. palatable fact that women will dece 5e as to their age as long as possible and then openly lie about it.
