SAN FRANC1sCo's GRAFT SCANDAL.

= What is probably the most appalling rottenness OF
municipal government exposed has been turned to
light in San Francisco these last few days. Conception
and graft has been discovered in very nearly every de
parment of the governments; Ruef and Scmz have been
dethrone and the band of brgand supervisors called to
account for brides accepted from the perng corpora
tons
bosses and bride taking supervisors has ended victorious
w. All that remains be done is to deal out the punish
ment which will probably mean the penitentary for num-
bers of grafters.
There is something remarkably heroic about San Fran
ciscos graft war Sorrowuy. but not hesatngy y, she
has exposed her disgrace to the world and allowed her
self be branded the most corrupy governed city in
the United States
Her confession of guilt greater sacrifice than
made by any city in past time But she has confessed
swept out the graers and is ready to begin anew
with clean conscience.
The fight started months ago when Francis J. Feney
charges made against Mayor Schmitz and Boss Ruef.
Heney promised to kick every CRATER out OF San Fran
cisco and literally he has all but accomplished it.
San Francisco's will probably be cited as the
worst in history But San Francisco deserves any amount
of praise given her Handicapped by the terrible calam-
y of April Is last city politics all but abandoned
when her citizens forced to rebuild their city Then
the grafters got busy and like ghouls, lost no time III
enriching themselves out of the fallen city.
And for every city in the land the shame of San Fran
cisco carries lesson be remembered and applied Cor
poraton interests in politics means bribery, either by
money favors In the train Of this follows graft on
tenderlon crime committed under protection of hush
money paid the bosses and city officials.
The nation is hopeycombed with municipal rottenness
of this sort 1t is time for spring house cleaning that
will reach the dirty spots everywhere.

specia Correspondence to The Press


NEW YORK. March 2S.-Having
fed from the wrath of the dowager
empress of China, the greatest pri-
vate citizen of China. kang fu
Wei, is living in secret in this
city.
There is a price on his head
100000 offered by the empress for
his return to China, dead or alive.
kang Yu Wei was the head of
the reform movement in China. His
downfall came when he was forced
out of the emperor's council of min
listers for his advanced ideas. The
partisans of the empress believe
that he will strive to arouse the
Chinese of America against the
government at home. The empress
has begged the United States gov
eminent to keep Kang Yu Wei UNI

is here. With his agents he is be-
lieved to be busy drilling and or
ganizing Cinnamon here and quiet
ly securing stores of arms and am
munition.

HOW TO BOIL AN EGG

The most approved way of soft
boiling an egg is to put in cold
water and allow the water to come
to a boil. When the water reaches
the boiling point the egg is cooked
to the same consistency throughout.
The white is soft and creamy and
palatable and digestible. The re-
verse of this process is to put the
egg in boiling water and immediate
ly remove the pan from the fire,
allowing the egg to remain in the
water six minutes with the top Of
the pan covered to keep the steam
in. OF course. this rule does not
apply in high attitudes, where the
boiling point OF water Is at a lower
temperature.

Natural History museaum in South

This old-time snake must have
had great trouble carrying his head
with him whenever he wanted to

battering ram, with a length in
the case of this particular specl-

of the length of the body. The
skeleton is 10 feet inches from
nose to tail end.
They say the tricerataps was a

head, his brain was only one-tenth
that of a crocodile's, and he knew
SO little that all the small animals
probably had lots of sport with
him.

MUST FIGHT FOR MILLIONS

PITTSBURG, March 28.-John S.
Duss, the multi-millioaire, band
master, will have to make a court
fight TO retain property worth from
$1,000 900 to s6,000,000. which he
possesses as the only surviving
member of the Harmony society. a
famous communistic organization
that settled in Beaver county, Pa,
more than a century ago.
Proceedings have been instituted
in Allegheny TO have the valuable
property turned over to the state.
The Harmony society was found
ed in Germany by George Rapp in
the latter part of the eighteenth
century. On account Of persecution
the society came to America There
were several hundred members,
who held In common their property
and various enterprises, including
a grist mill silk factory, wine Gel
lars and stores. The houses were
all of one pattern, with the doors
always at the side and no porches.
Believing that the second coming
of Christ to the world was near at
hand and that they would be better
prepared to meet him If they re-
manned single. celibacy was estab-
lished. The members grew old and
died and had no children to take
their places.
When Duss entered the society it
was claimed he was practically pen
niless. He was married at the time
and his wife also became mem
Der. When the older members died
the vast estate fell into his hands.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1907-03-28

Being unsteady inclined, Duss or
ganized a band among the men,
bers Of the society, known as the
Harmony band. With the passing
of the members of this band, he Sc
lected musical talent elsewhere.
Duss has been engaged in almost
constant litigation with the heirs
and relatives of the original men,
bers of the colony. In all of the
proceedings, one Of which was car
ried to the United States supreme
court, he has been successful.

who drags down about $25 per

THE FRUIT OF REFLECTION


It was fully half a mile back on
the Sandy Horse trail that she had
fallen and sprained her ankle. and
he had carried her all the way
through the dust and simmering
heat. How well he looked in his
buckskins, blue shirt and sombrero
how different from the black of
his evening clothes the last time
she had seen him at the Early's
ball in Chicago. And then there
was a new set to the lines of his
face, the dregs of time, that be-
came him.
She remembered despairingly the
last burning words he had poured
into her ears back in the east, when
he pleaded that she keep her prom

that made her feel the romance of
the situation, but she was sorry for
the man who bore her so tenderly.
1t was five years, she reflected,
since she had promised to marry
him provided he gave up his wine.
Then came the lure of wealth and
position. and she had conveniently
forgotten her promise when he
came to claim it, after fulfilling her
conditions.
Now she was sorry for her refus-
al, since the other man, offering
his glitter of gold for love, had fore
seen that his bargain was one-sided
and withdrawn. Besides, the silence
of the years, the sacrifice of the
man carrying her, appealed to her
He had left her without rebuke;
only the sorrow and loss of faith
in his eye had haunted her.

lowing only the trail ahead, the
flush under his tan showing more
plainly the play of the muscles. x

He stumbled, but saved them
from a fall by great effort, and
staggered on with his burden. The

huge stump. In the yard played
two little children-a slender,

MANY STYLES
FOR FALL HATS
GOtham'S DEGREES In Mat
ter of Dress.

NEW YORK, Oct. 3O.-This is the
month for the new hat.
The Mushroom has gone the way of
all mushrooms. 1t did one good SER
vice for us, it lowered the height of
all hats and broadened them out, so
the hat most generally liked this fall
will be a fiatter, closer fitting and
larger model. A great many long hats
(front to back are to be seen with
broad fronts and for those that need a
'built up" hat, there is a shape that
comes with slashed loft side with
the front lap turned up close to the
brim, about which is massed many
ribbon loops and ends, a flower or two,
or some quilts perhaps. For the wo-
man who is aiming to heighten her APP
pearance, there are some models with
high crowns, trimmed in front with
long straight narrow loops. Upfo"-
tunately for the short woman trim
mings are at present more to the
front, for it is the high back trimming
that adds to our inches.
The sailor with briar, bent in be-
coming curves is still in favor, and to
the round face, still retaining an i'm
preston of youth, the sailor is ex-
ceedingly suited.
The profusive use of flowers dur
ing the past summer has been extend
ed into the Autumn millinery. The
most popular flower is the peony and
it's favorite colors are purple and
cherry. The fact is the larger fow-
ers, such as chrysanthemums, dahlias
and asters are best liked, sometimes
an immense single flower will be US
ed, and again a number of smaller
ones-violets are much favored espec-
tally when used with other flowers.
Felt hats are prime favorites, but
the beaver hat, which is again in
vogue is a close second and in blue
some of the pretty plaque shapes be-
comingly trimmed with long plumes,
it is certainly a most fetching style.

with a separate hat.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1907-10-31
Caps OF Fur

Some pretty little caps are of fur;
and some have leather eye shields or
fronts. These except for the veil are
worn perfectly plain, For more dres-
sy wear the cap is often decorated
with a wing or breast. Where the
fur cap is disLked because of it's great
heat, a cap or toque of cloth may be
used, or one of velvet. And in the
shops where they cater to the auto

line are to be found Whole sets con-

piece and muff are to be found as we'll

A young woman, recent bride, has
brought pretty matinee dress and a
hat to go with it, The dress was of
blue pongee. The eight gored skirt in
sweep length has a sheath like adjust
ment at the top and a graceful flare
at the foot where it measures about
five yards in the medium sizes. The
over-blouse is made with Japanese
sleeves and surplice fronts. The for
mer are in one with the front and back
of the blouse, while the long sleeves
are inserted in the foundation on
which a chemisette is faced. The
blouse is plain in the back and the
right front laps over the left side.

Tight Fitting Wells

A word should be said about wells.
The newest ones are tight fitting and
as a revulsion against the streamer
The veil itself may be of gauze, lace
chiffon, net or null, but nearly all of
them have borders of wrought lace,
embroidered edges and often a silk
ribbon edge.
A very handsome black hat intend
ed for wear with a black velveteen
suit was formed from a plaque shape,
bent in a most becoming manner,
which lifted it on the left side in a
rounding arch filled in with velvet
knots and large white and purple
peony. A twist of black velvet rested
around the crown, and out from under
a silver buckle and bow above the
arch sprang three large black plumes
one falling ito the left and two to the
right side. The costume consistednof
three piecesg a seven gored skirt, an
over-blouse, and a cut-away coat, to
the latter was given very distinctive
touch by the addition of a cream col
ored point lace collar and cuffs.
