A young man from Phoenix went with his sister to dry goods store. He purchased pair of gloves for his sweetheart. The sister bought pair of hose for herself. Of course the clerk got them mixed. The explosion came when the sweetheart opened the package and found a pair of long black stockings. She blushed. Then she opened the note and read the following tender lines: Il am sending you little present. Oh, how I wish that no other hands than mine would ever be permitted to touch them after you put them on. But, alas. a score of fellows may touch them when 1 am not by your side, and other eyes may see them when you are on the street or at parties. 1 bought the longest pair l could get and if they are too long you may let them wrinkle down. A great many girls know wear them slipped down a little. Always wear them at parties. 1 want to see how they fit when I call Tuesday night. You can clean them easily, dear, with benzine, if you leave them on till they dry. 1 nope they are not too small. Blow in them before you put them on."

STATEN ISLAND RAID A SENSATION
The raid on Staten Island proved more sem
sational than the employees and attaches of the
Attorney Generals office expected. They ap-
peared, to the number of six. about 2:30 o'clock
at Stapeton. The spokesman. who said he

showed the Watchman at the bank, Thomas
Mcknight order, copy of the order issued
by Justice Hendrck.
Mcknight had authority to admit the men
and refused TO do He told them that Her
man Hagadorn, the cashier of the bank lived
only short distance away, and he was awak-
ened. The cashier strongly resented the action,
but was induced to dress and accompany the
men, The walk to the bank caused him TO think
more than ever that something was wrong, and
he telephoned to Robert Ross clerk of the
Board of Elections of Richmond County. Ross
lives at West Brighton, and had to walk nine
miles in the rain to Stapleton.
In the mean time the six men were kept
standing In the rain, admittance to the bank
having been refused. Mr.. Ross advised that the

hours they were. They were taken to the bank
vaults, where they placed seals on all of
the boxes. Policemen were stationed in front of
the bank AS business men passed their way
TO the ferry TO come to New York they crowded
about the bank, and rumor gained headway
that the bank had been robbed. 1t kept the
policemen busy all the morning denying this
rumor.
SEQUEL TO WRIT OF PROHIBITION.
The action of Attorney General Jackson is a
sequel to the writ of prohibition obtained by G..
d. B. Hasbrouck. of counsel to the Mayor last
Saturday in Albany, restraining the Attorney
General from holding hearing on the applica-
ton of Mr.. Hearst's attorneys for permission
TO begin quo warranto proceedings. The action
brought by the Attorney General is essentially
the same as If It were brought by Mr.. Hearst
himself. The only differences are that the peo-
pie OF the state Of New York named instead
of Hearst and the state will have TO bear the
pense even to the retainer of Mr.. Shearn, in
stead of Mr.. Hearst.
The complaint by the Attorney General was
based on Sections $40 and 1856 of the Code of
Civil Procedure. Under the former section Mr..
Jackson is empowered to apply to the courts
for the arrest of Mayor Mcclellan, if he desires
TO do So and under the latter section the Mayor
is liable to fine Of $1,000 in he is found
guilty alleged.

We realize thoroughly that it is only the ire

insult and injure American citizens; we know
equally well, and we hope that the Japanese and
Chinese governments also know, that it is only
the irresponsible and the vicious who, In Amer

great nations. But, nevertheless, until the
courts of his country shall have declared that
California has no right to do SO, this state re-
serves 10 itself the right and privilege to con-
duct under the law, state, national and treaty,
its schools in such manner seems best to US;
and this without the slightest disrespect toward
