Kurokf And Washington.

A little ceremony which occurred at
Mount Vernon during the knroki visit
to Washington is worth remembrance
On reaching the tomb of Washington
Gen. Kuroki and Vice Admiral ljuin,
accompanied by their aids twho were
carrying two beautiful wreaths OF
fiOwersl, were not content with gazing
through the iron grills of the tomb.
The mausoleum was opened and the TWO
great officers, unaccompanied, each TAX
ing a wreath, entered the resting place
of our great dead Knroki and the adj
miral advanced pace by pace together.
They held the wreaths as II about 10
offer them upon an altar, bowed rever-
emily, and with one movement land their
tribute on the sarcOphagus. foiaing
their hands, they bent their heads Ia APP
parent PRAYER for few moments With
out turning, they stepped back ana win
hand on heart bowed profoundly then
another step and another similar DOW,
and so reached the gate and passed out.
The great Japanese were eaurely un-
conscious that these movements were
anything out of the usual custom mere
any more than in their own land. IL Is
the testimony of those who saw the
honest and intense reverance shown by
the noted visitors that it was much
easier from it To understand the zeal OF
the Japanese army and navy. WIN
them the desire to achieve a brave act
is more of religion than an ambition.
Boston Advertiser.
Al the tomb of Gen. Grant in New
York, Gen. Knroki also knelt, prayed
and offered wreath.

MAIL-ORDER WAYS

AT SCHOOL OF EXPERIENCE
Sooner or Later IL Teaches Every Mall
Order Patron the Error Of
Sending His Money
from Home.

The methods Of the mail-order
houses are their worst advertisement.
Sooner or later there will come a time
In the experience of every purchaser
of their goods when he will wish he
hadn't done ii" when he will wish he
had spent his money with his home
merchants This is not only because
he will see the ruin wrought in his
own community by the nefarious prac-
tice If sending the money OF the COM
munity to the city. but also because Of
the practices OF the mail order con-
Germs.
The story in the catalogue sounds
well. 1t sounds like you would get
the identical thing you wanted and at
much lower price than you had i'm
agined 1t could be bought for, and you
order it. The purchase arrives and
when opened you feel that some mis-
has sent you the wrong goods; it Is
not what you ordered.
Al, but 1t Isl The difference is be-
tween the way it actually looks and
the way 1t sounds in the catalogue.
You explain that the goods you re-
ceived is not what you ordered and
ask for an accounting, and are told
that 1t is you that is In error, that
you got just what you ordered, and

Labor Trouble.

There has nothing turned up in the
labor troubles of our city that 10 any
way changes the situation from that of
last week. The box makers do not
care, in any way, to deal with the labor
union. They refused to declare for a
'closed shop and to sign the union
scale of prices. The union men stopped
work and were paid off. The box fac
tories have kept their factories in opera
ton with reduced force, but the con-
ditions are improving each day and
men are coming in daily from the out
side and taking vacant positions ana
within short time, the factories Will
be running with full crews. The union
men last week asked the manufacturers
To agree to the union scale OF wages.
This was deemed only another way OF
recognizing the union and it was re-
fused. The box manufacturers work
upon the principle that the laborer has
the right to work when ana where he
pleases and tor such wages as he sees
fit, and this condition can only exist
where the employer has similar rights

The following letter, written by
Michigan farmer. explains in clear
and unmistakable way the danger of
buying of mail-order concerns. 1t was
addressed to one of the largest of this
class of institution in this country:
Baldwin, Mich. Jan. IL, 1907.
Gentlemen:
/ have your favor of recent date,
and also your catalogues and accom-
panying circulars offering premiums
for distribution Of the same among my
friends. | have no doubt that, as you
say, l will thereby confer a great ia
vor upon you, but l am compelled to
take issue with you on the statement
that | will also confer favor upon
my friends.
In my dealings with you, extending
ever some time past, | have received
no favors from you'll paid for all l
got, and the length of time | traded
with you, instead of establishing
friendly relations and gaining me ad-
ditional favor as it would in home
store, gave you the opinion that, I'M
like a new customer, to whom you
give your very best, SO they will come
again, l was steady conner and any
old thing would do for me.
Our last deal opened my eyes and
convinced me of your policy. Your
catalogues offer some apparently great
bargains. But, let us draw up our
chairs and see If there are not few
things very essential to the rural citi-
gen that are not mentioned within its
voluminous bulk.
For instance, there is no reference
to paying cash or exchanging goods
for wheat, oats. corn, beans, butter,
eggs and hay,
How much will you pay for cattle,
sheep and hogs, I. o. b., at Baldwin?
How much will you pay to support
the Lake county schools and educate
our children? How much for improv-
ing our roads and bridges? For sup
porting the poor? For the general
public expense?
On what page do you offer to con
tribute money to the support of our
churches?
What line Of credit will you extend
to me when my money is low because
Of sickness, or poor crops2 What do
you provide in the way of entertain
ment for the public and in the way
of providing those things that make a
town desirable and thus keep up the
value of M property?
AS matter of fact, do you do any
thing TO help locally, or do you merely
take the money out of community,
returning nothing whatever. beyond
the value of the goods bought? Think

The Baker district option bill has
passed the legislature and has been
signed by the governor. 1t will be-
come effective, July /, 1908. This bill
limits the number of saloons in towns,
villages and cities to one To each $50
residents. 1t also gives residents of
any district containing from 100 to 100
inhabitants the power to prevent the
licensing of any saloon in such district.
In order to do this, however, the re-
monstrance must be signed by at least
a majority of the residents of the dis
trict. If a contrary petition is filed,
the matter may be contested before the
license committee of council. Saloons
already in existence will be permitted
to remain, according TO a provision of
the law, but the number cannot be in
creased until the population grows
sufficiently to maintain the above ratio.
At present there are sixty-two saloon
licenses in force in Wausan. The state
census taken two years ago gave us
IA. 458 inhabitants and il is hardly like
ly that the city has increased much
above Is, 900 since that time, SO that we
are mp to the limit, or above. There is
another bill pending which fixes the
maximum saloon licenses in towns and
villages at $500 instead of 800, as at
present

Sincerely

Committees from the Building
Trades Council have been at work in
vestigating the specifications submitted
by Architect Allen for the construction
of the new public schools of San Jose.
In several instances materials specified
and recommended were goods manu-
featured by non-union concerns.
THAT the influence of the striking
carmen of San Francisco is felt in all
eenters of California, was illustrated
in San Jose Sunday, when Manager
Amy Mayer of the San Jose baseball
team was approached and told that the
ticket-seller, Mr.. Emlay, employed by
him, had been seen riding on street
car in San Francisco, and that for the
sake of industrial peace he should be
relieved from duty.
Mr. Mayer Immediately took action
and notified the ticket seller that his
services were no longer required. In
speaking of the incident, Sunday, MIR.
Mayer said to the Mercury: Il was
approached Sunday by two men who
stated that the young man who was
employed by me as ticket seller on SIN
days had been seen riding on street
car in San Francisco, and that | had
better drop him from the park. | did
so at once, as | do not care TO
antagonize the unions, which, in a
large majority, support the games
played under my management.
II cannot afford to fight these I'M
ions, so for the sake of peace took the
action did"
This incident is not the only one that
has been heard of in San Jose. From
reliable sources the names of several
prominent business men of San Jose
and their families have been listed in
San Francisco, as riding on the street
cars during the present trouble, and in
several Instances, like that OF MIR.
Mayer, aave been warned not to do so
again"
Complaint was made to those in
authority, ana the committee was as
sured that anything that woald tend to
create strife or trouble in the constrnc-
ton of the new schools would be re-
ligiously avoided.
Another matter which has called
forth an investigation by the unions of
San Jose was the rumor that certain
style of e'sctrolier now in use in Los
Angeles for street lighting purposes
was recommended for use in San Jose.
1t is alleged that this particular cleo
trolier is manufactured by concern
who is VIGOROUSLY inimicaole To labor
union interests.
The committee having the purchase
of these eleetroliers were visited by a
delegation from the local unions, who
was assured that the matter would be
fully investigated.
