Margaret Anglin's Chatting Dish.

Miss Margaret Anglin finds her great
Sst pleasure and recreation in enter
tanning friends at simple. little chafinp
dish parties. This mild amusement IS
an Offset to the nervous strain Of first
nights, no doubt.
At all events Miss Anglin's admiring
friends love to draw verbal pictures OF
her as she appears presiding over that
very attractive utensil, the chatting dish.
Miss Anglin's recipe for making sar-
dine rarebit is as follows: One pound
of cheese. quarter pound OF butter one
glass OF ale, salt, cayenne. Cut the
cheese in small pieces and put it with
the butter I'm the blazer, work them to-
Bether with spoon until the cheese Is
melted and hot, being careful not to
let It come TO a boil; the latter NAV be
prevented by putting in the ale in small
portions; have ready in another chatting
dish dozen sardines, from which the
Oil has been carefully drained. warm
them carefully without breaking When
heated thoroughly, put the sardine on n
cracker and pour the rarebit over this.
Sprinkle over all finely minced chives.

SACRAMENTO. Cal. March - -
President Roosevelt stopped all Jap

islature by the following telegram to
Governor Gillette. who sent it to the
assembly;
"Action of legislature reported i'll
the morning papers most unfortunate
in effect upon my efforts to secure ex-
clusion of japanese laborers by friend
ly agreement and if continued will
probably render recent legislation OF
congress for that purpose ineffective.
Please secure suspension of further
action until receipt of letter from me-
The assembly intended 10 act at once
OH two bills and resolution adopted
by the senate on Saturday. Governor
Gillette sent with the telegram a mes
sage urging the house to comply with
the presidents request The assembly
by viva voce vote decided to take no
action on the bills on file
The legislative action referred to by
the president was the passage by the
senate of a bill limiting the age of
children of all races to ten years when
first entering primary schools, meas
ure prepared by the Japanese Korean
Exclusion league, submitting the ques-
tion of Asiatic exclusion to a vote of
the people and a resolution protesting
against Japanese naturalization.
The message created momentary ex-
element in the lower house. Then
Grove l.. Johnson expressed his conf
dence in the governor and the presi-
dent. said the question should he left
to them and moved that the assembly
take no action on the Japanese ques-
ton Mt this session.
The motion was carried without de-
bate.
The action of the legislature which
President Roosevelt so oddly halted
was the unanimous adoption on Satur
day of Il joint resolution protesting
against the naturalization of Japanese
and instructing the senators and con-
gressmen of California TO combat such
''pernicious legislation and to work
for the passage of an exclusion law to
include Japanese. Koreans and all 9th

tive vote the senate acted ON the bills
relating to the Japanese question.
