On the table before him stood one lone
object
Said the traveller: While ] was in
India three Royal Commissioners were
sent there by the King OF Siam TO uegO-
tiate for the purchase Of a certain tooth.
They failed i'm their mission however,
their OFFER Of the surprising sum Of 500. on
for the much coveted tooth, being de,
clined.
THE tooth in question came. as the Hin
dus believe from out the mouth OF
Buddha-the founder OF the foremost re-,
ligion OF the Orient-and hence for 24O
years that tooth has been an object OF
worship.
I'VE Americans can certainly learn
lesson from the Hindu worship ~ teeth

LID STAYS ON IN FRISCO
All SalOdn Licenses Are Revoked
at Request of Mayor
Schmita.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 12.-That the au-
thorities here have no intention Of loosen
ing the tight grip on the reins which
have held the liquor dealers in check since
the city suffered Its great disaster was
made plain today by the emphatic decla-
ration of Mayor Schmitz. When asked as
90 the likelihood of the saloons being
allowed to open In the near future the
mayor not only denied that there was
possibility of such action being taken,
but added that he had decided that all
drinking places should be closed for an
indefinite period He attributed the re-
maTkable absence OF crime and the ex-
ceptonal order which has prevailed in the
city since the conflagration to the fact
that the edict against the selling of liquor
had been rlgidly enforced.
This stand of the mayor was emphasized
this evening when the Board OF Commits
sluuers met and unanimously endorsed a
suggestion made by the mayor that all
saloon licenses now in existence be revoked
San Francisco is today a city without sa-
looms. In discussing this sweeping order
the commissioners were unit in voicing
the sentiment that the future welfare of
the city would be enhanced by a fewer
number Of drinking places. A number

which they hope soon to be permitted to
dispense liquors TO these the commits

that the number OF saloon licenses to be
issued IN the future would be greatly cur
tailed and that fl was unwise for them

GROWTH OF THE GREAT WEST
r.. J. Bennett of Chicago Closes
Peoples Institute with Mus
trated Lecture.

The nnal number OF the Peoples Insti-
tute course was given Friday evening at
the First Congregati onsl church, an illus
trated lecture on the development OF the
great west during the last half century,
with particular reference to the evolution
of California from a mining to an agrl-
cultural state. The lecturer was r. j.
Bennett member of the wholesale grocery
firm of the w NJ Hoyt co. Of Chicago
His lecture was purely from business
mans standpoint and was given in narra-
tive form He took up the Indian ques-
tion from its earliest phases in the west
particularly those OF the southwest, the
Moauis and Pueblo Indians. The pictures
showed numerous groups OF these Indians
and their crude habitations their methods
OF agriculture, the pueblos or villages and
their predecessors, the cliff jewellers. In
speaking of the character of these Indians,
he said THE coored man is infinitely
ahead Of the Indian i'm intellectual devel-
opment. The Indian is, however, begin
ming to show some intellectual advance
ment, as is demonstrated by the Carlisle
and other schools provided for their edu-
cation"
He spoke also Of the wonderful evolution
of the Great American Desert Of forty
years ago into a magnificent empire and
illustrated 1t in picture. The California
views showed the emergence OF that state
from a crude mining camp into an agri.
cultural and fruit growing region and tho
transformation made by Irrigation His
pictures OF San Francisco embraced many
OF the most beautiful spots of the city.
which within the past two weeks have
become desolate ruins.
Mr.. Bennett is thorough optlmist and
believes that ,America is on the verge Of
even greater distinction and achievements
than has hitherto blessed the country. A
worldwide traveller, he holds that there is
SUFFICIENT grandeur in the scenery OF Amer
lea to satisfy every lover Of the grand in
nature He pleaded that every one unite
In the determination 10 advance the moral
as well as the material, prosperity OF the
nation. The lecture closed with the entire
audience singing America"

400 CHILDREN IN PANIC
At A FIRE IN A SCHOOL

Alton, Ill, Feb. 26.-Four hundred
children who were being entertained
with moving picture show in st.
Mary's school hall at Alton, were
thrown into wild panic by the acci;
dental ignition of a roll OF celluloid
aims about eight hundred feet in length
from a spark dropped from the calcium
light Of the machine, which filed the
hall with suffocating smoke.
The children were pupils Of the Ca
thedral Orphanage, the Ursuline CON
vent and ST.: Mary's school, and were
In charge Of about twenty-five mem
bers of various Roman Catholic sister
hoods. The sisters tried to stop the
panic but were helpless. A steep stair
way at the south end of the hall toward
which they rushed became crowded with
children, who fell down the steps and
rolled over each others heads. It is
estimated that about fifty were hurt
by being trampled, but none seriously.
At the back Of the hall was an exit
whichl~wa locked, and the children,
drilled to seek that exit, made a rush
there, but could not get out.
