- President Roosevelt has
appealed TO Governor Gillett 10
avert international complica-
tiols by calling a halt on the Cal
ifornis Legislature in taking ary
action likely to injure the suscep-
dbihtes of the Japanese.
Governor Gillett waited upon
the leading members of the Sen
ate tonight while they were at
tending a meeting Of the commit
tee on finance and read them the
following telegram which he had
just received from Washington:
Hon. ]. N. Gillett, Governor,
Sacramento, Cal: Delegation
has just had important confer
ence with the President and
Secretary Of State. At their re-
quest we have wired Superin-
tendent of Schools and Presi-
dent Of San Francisco Board of
Education 70 come here imne-
distely for conference. Entire
delegation joins in request that
you send for leaders in both

EN- addition TO tbs telegram
from the California delegation
az Washington" said the Gov
ernor, Il have received letters
from the President in which he
assures me that negotiations Of
q very important character are
now under way between Japan
and the United States, and that
anything likely to endanger the
cordiality existing between the
two countries would be very de-
plorsble at this time. 1t is need
less to nphasize to you the ne
cessity Of deferring any legisla-
ton concerning the Japanese, as
suggested in the telegram. I
have confidence in your appre-
ciation Of the urgency Of the re-
quest and will leave the matter
in your hands"
At the suggestion Of Senator
Wolfe Of San Francisco, the
Governor agreed to transmit a
brief message to the Legislature,
accompanied by the telegram,
tomorrow.

more than ruler of his people and had
endeared himself to them as an inti-
mate anG personal friend. When the
flag on the palace was dipped to half
mast there was a moan of anguish
from the assembled multitude and
many of them cried our dear old king
is dead"
The succession to the throne of Swe-
den now passes to Oscar Gustave Adol-
phe, Duke of Vermland, the oldest son
of the late king At a meeting of the
council of state the new king took the
oath of allegiance under the title of
Gustave V, and adopted the motto
with the people for the fatherland."
The princes then took the oath of allie
glance and the new monarch accepted
the homage Of the state officials.
The last hours of the expiring mon
arch were passed in Inconsistencies
and up to the end he gave no sign of
recognizing those about him. The
queen was grief stricken because he
could not bid her farewell. At times
there were faint signs of conscious per-
ceptions as the attending physicians
brought some temporary relief to the
patient sufferer.
In the palace court yard in the dim
cold grey mist of the morning stood
crowd of school boys, King Oscars
most devoted friends. Here they had
stood for hours, blue and shivering,
watching the palace flag staff There,
also, gathered many old men and wo-
men in rags, such as the king had al
ways stopped to comfort with mild
words and generous aims when he met
them In the parks or streets, their
faces tear-stained because their belov-
ed king and benefactor was dying. Sud
denly the flag dropped to half mast
and wall of misery and sorrow arose.
The old folks clasped their hands and
prayed and wept aloud, and the school
boys lamentations were pitiful to hear.

the cabinet a draft of the new kings

THE BABY POST.
A Curious Institution That Once
FIouriohed In England.

FIouriched In England.
Although few people are probably
now aware of It, the fact remains that
there once Gourished in England a reg

according to distances traversed.
The curious institution came into eX-
iStence in connection with the found
ling hospital in Guilford street When
this charity was first established, il
was understood that its operations
would be confined to London and its
environs But the people of the coun-
try towns ana villages heard of it and
showed a decided disposition to share
in its advantages; hence the baby
post"'
All over the country there were men
and women who entered vigorously
into the business of carrying chill
dren 10 London and depOsiting them
at the gates Of the founding hospital
The charge was 8 guineas from distant
localities like York and Monmouth,
down to Il guinea from places situated
WltAlu ui--t' 10 uIIy miles OF luS NE
trOpOlis. The unfortunate infants were
borne on horseback in panniers, two to
each pannier. or in wagons lined with
straw, for which tie charge was some
what less.
Naturally abuses grew up in con-
nectiOn with the traffic. But, even
apart from them, the mortality among
the posted" babies was terrible. Thus
out of 1881 received at the hospital
in four years, only 400 lived to be
"apprenticed out" being a mortality OF
more than 20 per cent.
Eventually parliament passed q
measure abolishing the practice, and
the baby post ceased.-London An

JOSS STICKS.
The Process of Their Preparation Still
Practically Unknown.

The Process of Their Preparation Still
Practically Unknown.
In all countries where Buddhist wor-
ship is celebrated there is a great con-
sumption of 'jOss sticks" These cere-
monial candles are lighted on occa-
sions of festivity or mourning. prayer
or thanksgiving to divinities, and the
like. Joss sticks are at once candles
and incense, since. like the latter, they
burn without apparent flame. Their
preparation is Shrouded in some mys-
terry, and the psocess is still practically
unknown. those who carry it on being
chosen from a special class and kept
in rigorous seclusion.
A squared strip of bamboo, of vary
ing length and thickness, according to
the size of the joss stick that is to be
made, is skillfully rolled on an inclined
surface in a mixture of odoriferous
powders agglutin&ted by resin, made
viscous by slight elevation of temper
ature. One of the ends is left as it is,
to serve as handle. In some cases
the bamboo is replaced with a flexible
rod. which enables the joss stick to be
rolled in spiral form.
The composition of the odoriferous
powders varies with the country
Those used in Indo-China come gen
orally from the province of Cantor
and include fourteen drugs, among
which may be named camphor. san
dalwOOd, aconite and Glove. AconitC

Recommended by Smyrna testimony.
John M. Watson, living on Mt.
Vernon St., Smyrna, Del. says:
"AbOut six years ago 1 suffered a
severe accident, and was not expected
to recover. However, I got well, but
from that time on was greatly troub-
led with my kidneys. A cold, any
change in the weather, or any over
exertion on my part would affect my
back and kidneys and make them ache
so severely that 1 could hardly keep
up. Since using Doan's Kidney
Il procured at Clifton & Raymond's
Pharmacy, have found a remedy to
put an end to my suffering and restore
my kidneys to health. 1 used only
about half box of this remedy when 1
received benefit. Doan's Kidney Pills
have been of great value to ne and 1
heartily recommend them to others"
