This Was Stricken Out.
Its $25o,ooo Building Fund Reported
Now Complete.

MILWAUKEE, June 29-Amid great en-
thusiasm and cheering the announcement
was made last night when the banquet Of
the Young Mems Christian Association
workers adjourned that the $3.50 900 build
ing fund.-. which the local association has
raised within the last four weeks, is con-
sidered complete.
Up to last night all but $4,000 of the sum
had been signed for. During the banquet
5000 more was pledged and then a roll
call was made of ten captains, who have
had their teams of twelve men each at
work, and each pledged his team to raise
$500 more. One captain said he could
guarantee $500 more. That left 81, 700 to be
raised and it was decided to raise in addi-
ton to this sum, 5000 more to allow for
shrinkage of some of the subscriptions

and citizens committee announced that the
committee could put them down for the

PASS FRENCH WINE BILL
MEASURE DESIGN.
ED TO HELP THE GROWERS.

PARIS, June W.-The government today
was passed by the senate last evening and
which is designed to correct a number of
the abuses complained of by the discon-
tented wine growers of the south OF
France. The bill, 1t is hoped, will 20 long
way toward removing the Feeling of dis
content in the recently disturbed districts
The measure which has just become a
law requires among other things that all
growers make an annual declaration at
the mayoralty of their commune of the
acreage, cultivation and total quantity of
wine produced and in stock, and whether it
is intended for sale or otherwise, the gov
eminent being of the opinion that when in
possession Of this information it will be in
a position to keep track of the wine from
the grower to the dealer, and thus pre-
vent watering or sugaring.
Another clause of the bill at first insisted
on a supplementary tax of IS francs (si3)
per 100 kilos on sugar used in the manufac-
ture Of certain wines, but the chamber of
deputies rejected the proposal, and Finance
Minister Cillaux announced that the govern
ment had decided to reduce the supple
mentary tax to 40 francs GS) per 100 kilcs,
which was adopted
May Hit Petroleum.
The measure also greatly restricts the
market for alcohol produced from grapes
and beets, which resulted in the introduce
ton of a bill providing for an increase
in the duties on petroleum, with the OBJ
ject of stimulating the use of alcohol for
Illuminating purposes.
The finance minister has also prepared as
an inducement for the wine growers to
abandon grape growing in favor of other
crops to remit the land taxes in such cases
for five years.
The government advises the organization
of wine growers to regulate the output and
discontinue the manufacture of poor wine,
and urges the growers to assist the gov
eminent to suppress outside frauds by
themselves exposing wholesale buyers who
refuse to purchase their products unless
adulterated to suit their market.

ANTI-JAPANESE FEELING.
Toxic Belief That Racial Prejudice Is
Behind Movement,

TOXIC. June 29.-Another serious report
of anti-Japanese feeling in San Francisco
has been received here to the effect that the
city authorities have placed an embargo
on Japanese engaging in the business of in
telligence agencies, and have also refused
them licenses of every kind, thus preventing
them from engaging in any other business
than that of purely commercial charac-
ter. Should the report be confirmed it will
serve to confirm the belief here that the
display of anti-Japanese feeling in that city
is based on racial prejudice.
There is some talk here of boycott of
American goods in Japan as a measure of
retaliation against the treatment of Japa-
nese in San Fra ncisco
Nothing definite has come out of this sug-
gesticr as yet cnd it is regarded as I'M
LIKELY that boycott will be instituted, but
the fact that the suggestion is made is an
indication of tie feeling here.

the fight among the plumbers my subcon-
tractors and other employees have refused
to work with the non-urion plumbers. This
is important work, the erection of the Dis

1t means to me that no matter what con-

District building ought to work together
tremendously for its speedy completion as

WHEN MAKING A
PLATED SKIRT.

When using a pattern, the perforations
indicating the pleats SHOULD be carefully
and accurately marked with tailor's chalk.
If the material is white or very light col
ored, tailor's tacks with colored cotton
can be substituted for the chalk.
After cutting and marking the pleates,
haste those in Zach breadth aud press with
a damp cloth. The attempt to put the
width of the garment together. first and
then lay the pleats IS accountable for many
failures, except in the case Of the straight
skirt, and this should be pressed before the
back seam is joined.
In all gored models the pleats of one
breadth overlap the edge of the next one.
After they are carefully basted and
pressed, lay each gore accurately over the
other according to the notches and p%erfora-
tons. Basic them into place with small
stitches that will not pull or give in the
fitting. After all are put together. try on
and see if any alterations are necessary.
After fitting accurately over the hips and
waist. stitch the seams and pleats into pc

extract or lemon Juice, as you prefer, and
spread over the cake before 1t hardens.
Plain Iclng-Break the white of one egg
into a bowl and gradually beat into 1t one
cupful of confectioner's sugar. Beat for
about three minutes. then add one-half
teaspoonful of vanilla extract or a little
lemon juice, and spread thinly over. the

larger quantity is desired.
