Proprietors of saloons must furnish
the city with bond signed by indi
vidual property owners, instead of
the association bonds provided at
present.
Is Not Temporary.
When interviewed by an Argus rep
resentative this morning as to his
plan of action Mayor Schaffer said:
Certain elements have placed entire
responsibility for conditions in the
saloons on the administration / pro-
pose to accept this responsibility now,
and to discharge it fully. The saloons
ask for regulation, and it is certain
that every one else wants them reg
nlated and cleaned up, so am going
TO enforce regulations that will re-
form the business here. do not in
tend to take brass band along in
doing it. nor will l go out and tear
any licenses from the walls of the
saloons. / have simply given my in
structions to the police department,
and Chief Eckhart will see that they
are enforced"
rot merely for this week, nor for any
limited time. They are to apply as
long as | am mayor, and l will not
brook any interference in this pro-
gram"
Asked as to what steps he proposed
to take to enforce his orders, the
mayor stated that he would in the
fire f,1o IN n
number of saloonkeepers who have
given the police trouble in the past,
and who have<not evidenced a dispo-
sition to obey the laws. He stated
that he has already determined that
three places, on Seventeenth street
and Fourth avenue, Eighteenth street
and Fourth avenue, and on the alley
between Third and Fourth avenues on
Seventeenth street, shall not be IL
censed for saloons again under his adj
ministration. And there are still
other locations to which this same
rule will be applicable May L." he
added. He has prepared list, with
the assistance of the police depart
ment, of places which will be refused
nicipal year in May.
Obey or Quit.
The mayor stated that in addition
tc refusing licenses he proposes to
revoke licenses on the first violation
of his orders. The license of any
place that learn is open between
Saturday night at IL o'clock and Mon
day morning at 5 o'clock will be
promptly revoked, and that location
will be denied a license in the flu
ture," Mr.. Schaffer stated. This ap-
plies at once, and for as long a time
as l am mayor" he added.
Regarding the bond of saloonkeep-
ers, the mayor stated that he will
refuse to issue licenses where the
bond is signed by the association of
brewers and wholesale liquor men or
ganized in the three cities for this
purpose. The same regulation was
recently put in force in Moline, and
the saloons there are now required to
| furnish bonds signed by responsible
individual property owners.

Mother of Pearl Industry

Australia produces the largest share
of the worlds supply of mother of
pearl, and for quality and luster it is
unsurpassed.
The most important centers of the
industry are Thursday island. Port
Darwin and Broome. In 1901 and 1902
the average price Of shell was $4,000
per ton on the London market AS the
amount secured averaged four tons
per boat per annum, and the expenses
were comparatively small large profits
were realized. Naturally competition
among the pearlers for first class divers
is keen, with a result that wages and
bonuses are good. Formerly the pearl
ers paid the divers $40 per month. 500
to $175 per ton bonus, and in many in
stances from to Is per cent for the
pearls won. Though arriving as raw
coolies, some of these Asiatics earned
from $1,000 to $4,000 per annum, with
keep.
From $4,000 per ton in 1901 she'll has
gradually decreased in value, until at
the last November sales held in LondoI,
1t had fallen to $500 per ton. The
divers, most of whom are Japanese.
are well organized. In the past their
demands, whether deemed reasonable
or otherwise, have always been granted
by the disunited pearlers, but now
these are determined to lower the cost
of production, which movement has
caused strike. The Japanese dom
mate the situation, for without their
aid as divers pearl getting would cease.

1 n ter, the second daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. A. w. Foster OF San
Rafael, to DIR. Lawrence Draper of this
city. The news was informally made
known yesterday. and although not en-
tirely unexpected, has caused great eX-
citement in the younger social set.
Miss Fosters friendship for DIR. Draper
is of long standing, and although for a
month or two her nearest friends have
been watching the progress OF the af-
fair pretty closely, no one suspected
that the news was so soon to be made
known. DR.. Draper has been a guest
in the Fosters beautiful San Rafael
home for almost every week end this
season, but so have many other society
men and maids from this city, and so
no especial significance was attached to
his visits. Other admirers, however.
have been gradually surrendering the
field to him, and the news of his en-
gagement causes the greatest sat1sfac-
tion among the friends OF both fam
lilies, for he is extremely we'll liked.

and is a descendant of a prominent
English family. He has been in San

The national university, as we'll as
the national colleges, are directed by
the superior board of education COM
posed of seven members, who serve for
four years. The university is well
equipped with laboratories and scien-
tif1c instruments of the most modern
type The library attached to the
university consists of $500 well chosen
volumes, and in addition the students
have the privileges of the national Ii
brary of the republic, founded in 1871
with over 5000 volumes. The national
college of agriculture and experiment
tai farm are located a short distance
from Asuncion.
Through scholarship funds the Para
guayan government maintains about 20
young men in Europe and the United
States. These young men, upon con-
Guiding their studies, are under an
agreement to return to Paraguay and
assist in the spread of education
Among these special students are civil
and mechanical engineers, electric and
hydraulic engineers, electricians chem
lists and veterinary surgeons, and those
taking courses in agricultural science
arts and manufactures and commerce.
The government is giving special at
tention to practical science. and has
with keen foresight selected these
specialties which are today and will be
| In the future necessary for the deyel-
opment and progress of the country.
Paraguay is a small. isolated and
thinly settled country, but nevertheless
its present system of public education
has been built up under great disadvan
tages and at great sacrifices in less
than 40 years, and the country deserves
much credit for it's progress in this
line. Plans are proposed for increasing
and developing the scope of educational
work.-From Consular Report.
