LONGVOR7H GIVING
Frisco COLD SHAKE.

The Longworths appear to have
greatly disappointed San Francisco So
ciety. In fact they have avoided all
parties and they got lost" somewhere
in the country. There were reports
that they intended to slip aboard the
Siberia, leaving today for Honolulu,
without accepting any or the numerous
entertainments planned for them. The
Examiner of the 14th published the
following voicing the plant of the
matrons:
WANTED-Accurate information OF
the whereabouts of the Nicholas
Longworths and the exact time ana
date of their arrival here. Any
light you may throw on this enigma
will be literally rewarded. Address
Burlingame or Pacific Heights.
You were a member of San Fran
cisco's innermost society circle and had
taken your thirty-third degree as a
social dictator and hostess;
Or if you were a maker of social des-
TIMES in fashionable Burlingame or
transbay Piedmont;
And it was up to you to entertain
your dear, dear young friend, Mrs.
Nicholas Longworth, reported en- route
to Honolulu via the Golden Gate;
And you sat day after day with one
ear listening for telephone intelligence
to the effect that she had actually ar
rived at the Fairmont;
And with the other ear at attention"
to the postman's ring;
And told your servants for the TWEEN
tieth time that all letters must bl
brought to you instantly, if not sooner,
because you were anticipating very
important communication which you
had expressly remained in town all the
week to receive;
And you had finally decided between
an Alice-blue mousseline and an april
cot two-toned silk;
And had committed to memory three
whole paragraphs from Papa Prest-
dents message with which to enlivez
possible dull moments in a dinner
conversation;
And Saturday night came and there
was nothing doing;
No Mrs. Nicholas Longworth;
No magis bit of pasteboard in your
palm with her name thereon, thus Of
ficially notifying. you that the distin-
guished young matron was willing to
be your guest at any function you
might desire;
In word, If all your lovely plans
were floundering in a San Francisco
fog of social uncertainty;
Wouldn't it mystify you?
Wouldn't it rumple your Marcelle
wave?
But the Longworths are coming, Oh,
dear, yes, they're coming. Did they
not send a wireless from a peak in
Yellowstone Park days and days ago
to our own Fairmont for reservations?
True, one of them might change his
Congressional mind and decide to set
sail for Honolulu from Seattle; or the
other might put down her petit presi-
dential-family foot in favor of cutting
San Francisco from her itinerary.

DR. SUN YET SEN.
The Japan Gazette of July 10, speaks
of the possible arrest of DIR. Sun Vat
Sen native of Maui and a citizen Of
the United States for his radical ideas
and theories against the present dy-
nasty in China. Dr. Sen left here in
April 1904 for China and ever since
his younger days has been a strong
factor in the movement to overthrow
the present Emperor Dowager of China
and her advisors. Dr.. Sun received
his education here at Iolani College
for Occidental administration and re-
form is to sweep away the Manchu
power in China. To this end in 1900
with only 900 men he tried to over
throw the government, but was re-
pulsed by 1000 imperial soldiers only
after one of his chief aides was cap
tured and executed. During the inter
val between 1900 and January of THIS
year little had been heard of him, I'M
til news was received that on January
IS, 1907 he with his army had captured
two towns in Southern China He is
now supposed to be in his way to
Yunnan from Hanoi and orders from
the Chinese Minister in Paris have
been issued to arrest him as soon as
possible. His many friends here are
anxiously awaiting to hear any more
news concerning him.
