unlawful enterprise which the United States postal regulations do not per nit At any rate. so-called subscrip- ton contests are not new. Their ori- gin is lost in the mists Of antiquity. Newspapers have always taken part in them and always will do so.
 I am told. too, that the Evening Out cast is making foolish claim to being the original comic supplement, which would not be a thing to be proud of if it were true. But it is not true. There were supplements even more comical and ridiculous than the Evening out cast many years before the Evening Outcast was inaugurated Many news papers eminent and respectable have become victims of the comic supple ment craze. The more eminent and respectable they were the longer were they able to rsist the encroachments of that form of insanity. I have in mind the case of the Los Angeles Times, one of the ablest newspapers in the west. which was the last to fall. while the Covina Register was among the first.
 l trust that with the aid of these lessons. and experience the Evening Outcast will ultimately prevail over the disagreeable trait of foolish boast ing. I am sorry to state that have been told that it thinks it leads where others follow. The other day. dear children, I saw handsome and blood cd horse passing along the street pre- ceded at the distance of block or so by a peculiarly unattractive jackass. The thrOng of people in the street. un- aware of the proximity of the jackass, stood admiring the grace and stateli- ness of the horse. The jackass alone seemed to be conscious Of his own presence and wagged his ears as if proud of his position of precedence.

HOW LINCOLN TOLD HIS STORIES

The charm of Lew Wallace's Auto biography consists not only in the fact that the author was a famous general and famous novelist. but that so many Of his recollections are reminiscent of the great.
 one of the most fascinating descrip- tions is that of his first sight of Abra- ham Lincoln. IL was in 1850, at d tavern in Danville, H. The big room Of the tavern was crowded with men. laughing and cheering as story after story was told by three of the best story tellers of Indiana and two Illinois men whom Wallace did not know. It was story competition between the men of the rival states.
 Wallace writes as follows:
 "The criss-cIossing went on till mid night and for a long time it might not be said whether Illinois or Indiana was ahead
 There was one of the contestants, however, who arrested my attention early. partly by his stories. partly by his appearance Out of the mist of years he comes to me now exactly as he appeared then
 His hair was thick, coarse and de- liant: it stood out in every direction. His features were massive, nose long, eyebrows protrusive. mouth large. cheeks hollow. eyes grey and always responsive 10 humOr. He smiled all the time. but never once did he laugh outright His hands were large, his arms slender and disproportionate- ly long. His legs were a wonder, par ticularly when he was in narration; he kept crossing and uncrossing them, sometimes it actually seemed he was trying to tie them into a bowknot. His dress was more than plain; no part of it fitted him. His shirt collar had come from the home laundry innocent of starch The black cravat about his neck persisted in an ungovernable af- fnity with his left ear.
 Altogether thought him the gaunt- est. quaintest, and most positively usiy man who had ever attracted me enough to call for study. Still when he was in speech. my eyes did not quit his face. He held me in inconsistencies.
 About midnight his competitors were disposed to give in: either their stories were exhausted. or they were tactily him the crown. From ans wering them story for story, he gave two or three to their one. At last he took the floor and held it. And, look ing back. I am now convinced that he frequently invented his replications, which is saying he possessed a mar vellOus gift of improvisation.
 Such was Abraham Lincoln. And to be perfectly candid. had one stood at my elbow that night in the old tav- ern and whispered: Look at him closely. He will one day be president and the savior of his country l had laughed at the idea but a little less heartily than laughed at the man.

CLIFTON DISCOURAGED.
A Probability That the Site of the
 Town Will Be Changed.

Solomonville. Dec "Details of the Clifton flood indicate a deplorable con- ditiol of the residents. There Is an immense property loss, aggregating hundreds of thousands of dollars. It is probable that the town will never be rebuilt on account of having four floods in three years. Practically every building is damaged and many were swept away. There were many narrow escapes from death, as the flood came without warning.
 Two men were caught in a store awning and broke through a plate glass window and escaped within. Patients in the hospital were carried to higher ground. Monday night was one of horror. and practically the en- tire population was on the hills un- sheltered. 1t is feared that many Mex jeans were drowned.

Curious Chinese telegraph on
Blood-Smutched Laundry
Interests Police.

Chinese telegraph of eccentric in
fiections that is stamped on a bundle
of blood-smutched laundry divided the
attention of Captain of Detectives
following the sweating of the sus
poets that had engaged them all the
morning. What Wren expects to
prove by the strangely charactered
brush marks on the laundry he is
closely guarding, but that he regards
them as being of exceptional interest
was illustrated by the elaborate atten-
tion he devoted to them. Two Japa-
nese interpreters were closeted with
tion of the marks, and detailed data
on their significance and the circum-
stances under which they might have
been made were carefully gone into
and made a part of the police records.
The telegraph in question represents
the Chinese word "chin"-freely trans
lated as "curious'-and is not infre-
quently used by the Cantonese 1aun-
drymen who do much of the white
mans washing in San Francisco.
The manner in which the bundle of
laundry came into possession of the
police illustrates the widespread at
tention the murder and robbery at the
Japanese bank is receiving among
Asiatics. Early yesterday morning a
headquarters with the bundle and said
1t had been left with him two days
earlier. When he opened the bundle
he was surprised to find that shirt
and one of the collars were red
stained. He drew the attention of
other Cinnamon to the fact, and they
all limited at the murder of the Japa-
nese banker and the possibility of the
laundry furnishing clew to the po-
lice The Chinaman remained unde-
cided for a time, and then concluded
to take the advice offered him and not
wash the laundry. His story greatly
interested Wren, who directed his at
tention in trying to learn where the
bloody shirt and collar had previously
been laupdered.
Wren thought it not unlikely that
the laundry might have gone to a
Japanese, and 1t was this idea that
prompted him to send for the Japan
ese interpreters. The latter assured
him that the telegraph was never
used by Japanese laundrymen. They
pointed out that in Japanese it had
an entirely different significance and
that there could be no possible doubt
as to the marks having been made by
other than a Chinese.
Wren then detailed two of his men
to try to find the laundryman who had
washed the shirt and collars last and a
score or more of Cinnamon were in
lterviewed. Whether or not the detec-
tives succeeded in finding the sought
for Chinaman is not known, as Wren
refused all information on the matter
! 1t is believed, however, that he is
working on a very tangible basis In
trying to get this information, as he
warned both Japanese Interpreters
/ that the matter was of great impor-
+ tance and that they must not discuss
4 1T in any way. The interpreters were
as reticent about the matter as the
| police, but The Call was able to secure

Mr.. Hughes is no more wanted by

Mr.. Hughes stands for all that is best

The Government at Albany needs re-

insurance department., the banking de-
partment and the Railroad Commission
these are offices which have made
men rich and which have scandalized
our State as much as Tammany our

have regularly sold their votes TO the
corporations have become enormously
wealthy on small salaries. The Augean

in raising the price of papers. accom-
panied by the refusal to permit the
dealers to raise the retail price. was
done for the purpose of adding to
Hearst's campaign fund in New York.
The increase in the wholesale price
would mean loss of several thousand
dollars to the dealers.
Up to the present time the wholesale
price of the American has been so cents
per hundred and the publishers now
propose to charge an additional 10 cents
per hundred. The dealers claim that at
selling price of 1 cent the proposed
increase would wipe out their profits.
In reply to the demands of the deal
ers the publishers offered to authorize
their agents to charge 80 cents hun
dred for their regular customers. The
present price is 26 cents and as the
Sunday edition is not included in the
schedule the boys claim that they would

were demanded.

Japanese Bank Teller Continues
Delirious and Reason Is
Likely Gone Forever.

Up to a late hour this morning A.
Sasaki, the Japanese bank teller who
was wounded by the robbers Wednes-
day, was still delirious, and it is the
opinion of the doctors who are attend
ing him that he will never fully re-
cover his reason. in which case he will
never be able to assist the police in
directing their work of bringing the
criminals to justice.
Whether Sasaki will really regain his
physical health is a matter of some un-
certainty, but the physicians express
an opinion that he will be able to walk
about again at some future time. He
seems to recognize no one who calls to
see him, and at times lies quite uncon-
scious, while at other times he talks to
imaginary people.
Every effort has been made by the
doctors to bring Sasaki back to his
reason, and for long time 1t was be-
lieved that this would be accomplished
and that he would be able to inform
the. detectives how the robbers made
the attack and to give some descrip-
tion of his assailants, but this hope has
almost been given up.

CUBA MUST FOOT THE BILLS.
Service Being Rendered Republic b
Uncle Sam VIII Cost Big Sum.


WASHINGTON, Oct Tt will be a
large and pretty penny that Cuba will
have to pay for the service which this
Government is now rendering her in
the restoration of internal order. At
the lowest estimate it is $4,000 a day,
and it is not likely to grow less. In
stead, the chances of enlargement are
numerous. Unless the Cubans coop
crate better with the intervening gov
ernment than they are doing now it
will be necessary to send Americans to
hold some of the minor offices, and
Americans in Office in Cuba have proved
about as costly investments as the in
sular folk have. ever made.
AS Governor of the island Charles E.
Magoon will do trife better than
Leonard Wood. He is to receive S25,0OO
a year, the same compensation allowed
President Palma. General Wood al
most equaled this sum. He received
$4,000 as Governor in addition to his
pay of $500 and allowances as a ma
jor general of volunteers.
The auditing, of course, will be OF
most perfunctory character. Gov
ernor Magoon, exercising despotic au-
thority, backed by the power of the
American army, will be able to ap-
prove or disapprove anything that may
please or diSpleaSe him. If it pleaSes
him to pay out enormous sums for the
services of the h -gh-class men in the
civil service of the Government, that
will be all right. If he decides to re-
duce salaries established by the Cuban
Congress, that will also be all right.
The mere fact that he orders it makes
it legal President Roosevelt himself
cannot change a decision of the pro-
visional Governor. All he can do is to
get another Governor, one whom he has
reason to believe will agree with his
views of the subject.
