MISS ETHEL.
IS ENGAGED
Persistent Rumors Have 1t
That 1t Is True.
BANKERS SON FAVORED.

New York, Dec 20.-A Washington
dispatch says: A big Christmas tree
will be erected at the White House,
and Miss Ethel will give a dinner par
ty to a few young friends on Christ
mas Eve.
Mrs. Longworth's illness came upon
her just as she was about to do her
Christmas shopping, and yesterday
and today the physician allowed her to
choose gifts for her friends from Sc
lections sent up at her request from
several of the shops OF the city. To-
day she said:
Its too terribly provoking to have
appendicitis just at time when it
comes most inconveniently. I am
glad that little troublemaker has been
removed, for it can never again inter
fere with my Christmas shopping"
Washington is interested in the per-
sistent rumor that Miss Ethel, who
will be given q ball on the 3rd OF Jan
uary, which will be in reality her in
formal coming out party, is engaged TO
young Charles Glover. the son of
President Glover, of the Riggs bank.

CARRYING F-STARVED
BABY, A MOTHER APPEAL s
TELLS OF SUFFERING SURROUNDING HOME IN NORTH
RICHMOND WHERE HUSBAND AND BROTHER,
THE ONLY SUPPORT, is ILL.
WORTHY OF
EMULATION:

The first day of our campaign for ad-
Gitional funds for the Associated Char
tiles has born fruit in the most encour-
aging manner. Over one hundred dol
lars was subscribed yesterday for the
cause of relieving the hard lot of the
worthy poor in our city.
Among the contributors yesterday
was a little boy named Leslie SineX.
Leslie came into the Palladium office
shortly after the noon hour and said,
Here's fifty cents to help the suffer
ing poor and ! earned it all myself.
Questioning the young lad, brought out
that he earned fifty cents every two
weeks for carrying working mans
dinner to him at one OF the local shops.
This young boys spirit of self sacri-
fee is worthy of emulation by much
older men.
A suggestion was made to us yester-
day which we feel it would be we'll to
place before our readers. Many Ot
us have clothing stored away in chests
use for Why not. sort over this old
clothing and send wh4t is not necesSa-
ry for further personal use to the AS
sociated Charities: This will provide
the association with clothing in plenty
to supply those who are unable to OBJ
tain sufficient protection from the
cold, raw weather we are now expert
encing.

After Adjournlng Today the
Richmond City Schools Will
Reconvene December 30
New Years Day Off.
EARLHAM GETS LONG
PERIOD OF REST.
Quaker Students Will Not
Take Up Studies Again Until
January 6-Many Are Leav-
ina For Their Homes.

This was the last day of school be-
fore the holidays, and it is safe to
state that none of the scholars left
the drudgery of the school room with
any regret. 1t is also safe to assert
that not many children nowadays
take much stock in that "delightful'
little story in the school reader about
''the little boy who so loved his dear
teacher, that he didn't want to leave
school and his precious books, for
nothing more than a weeks vacation
at the holidays just to eat turkey and
pie and candy"
In fact most Of the scholars are
complaining already about the short
ness of the Christmas vacation. There
will be but nine days vacation and of
school days.
School will re-convene on Monday,
December so, continue over Tuesday,
81 and then dismiss for New Years
day, resuming again on the second of
January 1t Is thought by most of the
children and many of the parents that
there is little use of cOnvening school
for the two days previous to New
Years.
One father said this morning, This
thing of holding school for two days
preceding New Years day is useless.
AS for my children, I think they are
entitled to those two days to add to
their holidays and l shall leave it to
their wishes whether they go or not"

FEW AMERICAN SCHOLARS
Owen WiSter Jars Much Self
CompIacency.

Cambridge, Mass, Dec. 20.-The un
varnished statement of Owen Wister
Harvard, 80, that in scholarship this
country is minus 100 per cent is the
rudest- shock this cOmplacent center
of learning has received in many
years.
The statement was made before a
gathering of Harvard graduates and
members of the faculty. OF the forty,
three leaders in the colleges and uni
versities of the world, he said, only
three were Americans and no Ameri-
can university possessed one single
teacher of undisputed pre-eminence.

Disastrous Year
in Mining History

In the number of lives lost in
mining operations the year 1907
has been the most disastrous on
record. Up 10 Dec. l9 the list
OF deaths by mine accidents
stands at 2,374 Deaths in mine
disasters in 1906, when 1,219 were
killed in one accident at Courrie-
res, France, totaled 1900. Since
1856 the average number Of
deaths by accidents in mines has
been 1000 a year The years in
which the average has been ex-
ceeded by over 100 have been
1878. when 1.413 miners were kill
ed; 1889. with a death list of
lilo and 1901. with 1,131 deaths.
Safety appliances have not kept
pace with the increase in the num-
ber of miners employed, which
has raised the liability of large
death lists in single disasters.
Following is list of mining ac-
cideuts and the lives each cost
since January. 1907:

From the Kansas City Journal.
II is not hard to conceive some question
Of vital and immediate Importance upon
which it would be exDedient TO gain an
informal opinion Of the Chief Executive
and. indeed. this has been done many
times But it would be no more iustifiable
for the Oklahoma constitutional conven-
ton to demand final adjudication Of a
single and isolated provision of this i'm
portant instrument than for Congress to
suspend action upon a measure of law
while the President passes upon some part
of il. The Jim crow issue is one OF
politics merely, and is not worthy of the
serious consideration Of the President OF
private expression from President Rouse-
welt at this time is merely a party trap
to get him to take premature hand in
the game.
If the Oklahoma Democrats wish to
vitiate the whole constitution, engender
enormous expense. and delay Statehood
by the incorporation of any provision in
the constitution that is obnoxious TO the
President, they are the ones who should
be held 70 blame Thus far the RepUb-
leans of Oklahoma have had the consol-
ing entertainment of watching the Demo-
Gratis juggling mighty hot potato that
they are inviting the President to reach
out and grab.

FRIsCO's ORIENTAL SCHOOL.
Its Principal Throws Some Light on
the Education Question.


From Letter Ct the Principal 70 the New York sun
1t has been reported that It Is i'm
possible for three out Of four japanese
students 10 attend the Oriental School,
as they are scattered all over the city.
which covers forty square miles, and
that It is out Of the question for them
to go far from home owing 70 the lack
Of car lines. In reality the japanese are
congested within the streets bounded by
Van Ness avenue. Geary, Fillmore, and
California streets. an area Of less than
ore square mile and as I live, as one
might say, next door 10 this section. on
Sacramento street, near Cough. and walk
in preference TO riding to school, il would
seem TO reasonable minds that able
bodied men. such as most Of the japanese
students are. ought to be equal 10 q like
exertion. But If they must ride, there
are three lines Of cars in close proximity
10 the school. one only a quarter of "a
block away. the others but two blocks,
and all connecting with the various lines
of the city. which. with a few exceptions,
are the same as those before the fire.
As to the little ones among the Japanese
pupils, the board OF education agreed To
provide special quarters for them near or
within the section Inhabited by the Jap
anese colony.
Besides. there IS certainly no reason
why the Japanese should be exempt from
travelling long distances in order TO secure
an education in San Francisco any more
than the hundreds of white children who
have been forced 10 do so since the fire,
many of whom are scattered in all diTec-
tons, and some even being obliged to
cross the bay in order TO continue 10 re-
ceive their instruction in this city.
As 20 our being in the heart Of the
burned district" every one here knows
that no part of the city has risen 50
rapidly from its ashes as the northern
part. where our school Is, and the fact
that we are but one block from the mag
nifcent. and what viii be our most fash
ionable hotel, the Fairmount. IS sufficient
proof that the Oriental Public School is
not in an undesirable or out-of-the-way
situation.
