Roosevelt Letter Received.

Sacramento, Cal, Feb. 2.-President
Roosevelt's letter to Governor Gillett on
the Japanese question, made public
yesterday, was eagerly read by mem
bers of the legislature. A. M. Drew
author Of the bill prohibiting aliens to
hold land in this state, said:
after cursory reading of the letter
I am determined to stand for the bill
as it has been amended. AS to the
presidents views in this latest letter
1 take no exception, but l do believe
that Secretary Root, in the letter in
closed by the president, takes an un-
warranted stand against all legislation
proposed against the Japanese.
My. object in introducing the land
bill, may frankly state, was to keep
the japanese from getting a foothold in
California. They are not and should
not be allowed to become citizens c.
this country and they should not have
the right of property ownership. We
are confronted with serious situa-
ton in this regard and / shall make
every effort to have measures prevent
ing all aliens from owning land passed
thru the leeiSlature'

Calamity Forced Laundry Company to
Rescind Its Boast.

1t was the boast of the 'Incompar-
able Laundry Company that it EN-
ployed no Cinnamon, that it did better
work than Chinese laundries did, and
did not wear out the clothes SO quick
ly in washing One unlucky day, how
ever, the companys building caught
fire and was partially destroyed. BY
great exertion nearly all the contents
were saved, but in highly mixed and
tangled-up condition.
Drivers Of the company's wagons
were sent round to the various Gus
toners to assure them that they would
lose nothing; that their shirts, collars
and cuffs were all safe, and would be
delivered to them, properly Numbered,
with delay of only a few days.
Wasn't everything piled in heap
when you got things out of the build
ing?" asked one Of the customers.
YES" said the driver to whom the
question was addressed.
We'll, how are you ever going to

"Oh, we've got a-er-Chinaman sort
ing them out" answered the driver
with some reluctance.-Youth's Com

stitute, and they are proving great
success. or course, they are heavier
than the wooden box and there is
slight percentage of breakage, but In
the end they are cheaper, for the price
of the wooden boxes is going up all
the time The package is attractive,
and the cigars packed in the jars will
not dry out so rapidly.
Fifty cigars are packed In the jars,
which have a light, nickeled screw
top. The best part of the glass jar
idea is that the smokers wives can
put them to good use after the cigars
are all gone. They can be used around
the house for a thousand different
things. But wooden cigar box wasn't
much use for anything after 1t had
served its first purpose. You could
break, shatter or do most anything
with it, but the scent Of the tobacco
stuck to it,

he gave rush orders to summon the
most skillful physicians in the city and
at once made slight incisions in the

fore the wondering physicians every
known test to determine death was APP

South African MiIIionaires.

Harry Barnato, who has just died
in the prime of life, 1.-The latest addi-
ton to the list of South African mil
lionaires whose lives have closed pre-
maturely and often tragically. Cecil
Rhodes, it will be remembered, did not
live to see his forty ninth birthday,
although he had qualified as million
aire at least 20 years earlier, and Bar
ney Barnato was only 46 when he
came to his tragic end on the high
seas, but he had lived long enough
to leave nearly s1,OO0,OO0 behind him.
Woolf Joel, Barnato's nephew, was
much younger when at "a bullet put
an end to his life at johannesburg ten
years or so ago, and yet he was able
to leave an estate valued at e1,226,-
900; Herbert Matthew Davies accumu-
lated 9734,00O before he died at the
age of 43, and Mr. Belt had made and
left his millions before he had long
completed half century of years.

Not So Very Precious.

A New York hotel is going to have
enough gold dishes to serve a dinner
of seven courses to Is persons. OF
course, this suggests moralizing on
prodigal luxury and illusions to Lu-
cullus and Apicius and also to Bel
shazzar But there was a time when
even kings dined from trenchers. The
introduction of pewter was probably
denounced by the philosophers Of the
day as prodigality. and while silver
is not commonly used for dishes from
which persons eat, it is in such gen.
eral use for the larger pieces and for
spoons, forks and drinking vessels
that the use of silver must represent,
as compared with the previous Gus
toms, about as great an increase Of
expenditure as the use of gold din
ing service does now. The precious
metals are not so precious as they
were once.-Philadelph Record.

Whether the Cuban congress here

American provisional governor is
question which it is not necessary to
consider at this time and which 1t Is
