We would kindly ask the
Minnesota trade unions and Presi-
dent Roosevelt to refrain from
interfering with any man, whoever
he may be, or wherever he is, who
wishes to extend to us sympathy

l may say that at mass meet
ing of Californiars held at the
Casino Theater Thursday afternoon
a resolution was unanimously adopt
ed to voice this sentiment. This
resolution was called forth by Pres
ident Rooseveit's refusal to accept
the $4,000 from the Hamburg

would be gratefully received by the
people of California.

He could not be in much worse

friends, the cheerful man among
them.

optimist.

he does die, was the cliuching

One or two men spoke to him as he
hurried from the house, but he shook
them off almost unciyilly, and. making
for the nearest exit, hailed cab.
The drive to Grosvenor square was
misery. Time after time he changed
from one corner of the cab TO the other,
his acute internal pains prolonged by
every delay and increased by every
motion. At last weak in all his limbs,
he stepped from the vehicle at his own
door.
Entering the house, he instantly
mounted the stairs and passed 10 his
own rooms. Opening the bedroom
door he peered in cautiously, then
pushed the door wide. The light had
been switched on, but the room was
empty. With a nervous excitement

Once alone Chilcote walked slowly
back to the table. drew up his chair
and sat down with his eyes on the
white cloth, the paper lying unheeded
beside him.
Time passed. 4 servant came into
the room TO remove the breakfast
Chilcote moved slightly when neces-
sary, but otherwise retained his atti-
tude. The servant having finished his
task, replenished the fire and left the
room. Chilcote still sat on.
At last, feeling numbed, he rose and

which are the fitting up of rooms in

this would necessitate the carrying 10

built to the court house but this would
