AMERICAN woMEN's LUNCHEON
British Appreciation of the Way
They Do It in London.

FROM Inc LONDON news
Womens luncheons are liked iced drinks.
Morris chairs and the Dewey system of
cataloguing libraries. among those specif-
cally American institutions which have
by now obtained firm footing in this
country. A very brilliant luncheon.
adorned by the most distinguished of
guests and the most beautiful of toilets.
was held yesterday at the Hotel Cecil by
the society of American women in Lon
don. We have no doubt that the more
material elements in the festivity were in
keeping. American women pride them
selves on their knowledge of gastronomy
and not less on the elegance and grace
with which their feasts are served. and
about the luncheon in particular they con-
trive 10 throw peculiar charm of femi
ninity. This arises. of course. from the
special economic and social cfrcum-
stances of American life. The midday
meal is peculiarly the women's meal The
men take II i'll roof gardens. up to which
they shoot by express elevators, or else
they jostle one another round quick-lunch
counters. But in the suburban home of
the typical American woman leisure
reigns at midday. Housekeeping is fin
ished and clubs need not be visited till
the afternoon. Mrs. Jonathan has plenty
of money to spend and far stronger
sense of her own social value than the
Englishwoman generally attains 70. There
fore she selects the midday meal as the
suitable time for entertaining her women
Iieuds. The menu is carefully thought
OF. There is special effort TO provide
some unusual kind of fruit ice cream.

Imperishable Cedar.
From the Seattle Post

FROM the seattle FOst-intellfgencer.
An extraordinary illustration Of the
almost imperishable nature Of Washing
tons red cedar is furnished in some shin
giles recently cut in Washington mill
and sent east for exhibition purposes
Those shingles were cut from a moss
covered cedar log lying on the ground
and which had growing over it another
cedar tree. the roots OF which encircled
the fallen log. The growing tree had 80
rings. which indicate, according to the
accepted theory, that it was 80 years
old. Yet its growth started after the tree
from which the shingles were cut had
fallen to the ground. Here was a cedar
log. fallen and lifeless, which had lain
exposed to the weather for not less than
I5O years. and yet was free from rot to
the extent that merchantable shingles
could be sawed from it. Every man who
has worked in the woods or i'm clearing
land in this state has seen similar in
stances of the ability of red cedar to
resist the ravages of time. In alIuvial
soil along the river banks. in digging
bitches, cedar logs have been found COW

Man, the Gossip.

From the Milwaukee Sentinel
Truth like murder, will out. Adam was
the original gossip. The old scamp has
been sailing under false colors for sew
eral thousand years, but his real charac-
ter has at last been revealed to an un-
suspecting world. And it is woman
who at last has made the discovery.
Trust woman for that Quoth she:
Gossip began when Adam looked askance
at Eve and the serpent 1t was so
unjust. Eve was simply dying of ennui.
and her desire for social diversion argued
no laxity OF morals. But Adam-well. he
was just a man. This is exclusively the
discovery of the twentieth century new
woman, and. of course, its accuracy can
not be questioned. At last woman has
been relieved of an unjust suspicion. She
does not know how TO gossip; it is utterly
foreign TO her nature. she could not If
she would What a load of obloouy and
reproach is now lifted from those gather

Bold Chinese Brigands.
From the London Telegraph


Whole districts in the province OF
kiangsu are reported TO be terrorized by
brigands. East of Yaowan. on the Grand
canal, close on 100 cases of kidnapping
have occurred during the last winter.
Scholars on the road to school. RI IN
men, and even men worth only $50 or
800, have been caught and held for
ransom. The prices paid have ranged
from $40 to s1.GOO. Schools are being
closed, and men are afraid to go from
home. In Pichow the conditions are
said to be worse. Recently man who
was acting as a spy on the robbers was
found by the roadside with his heart cut
out. The brigands have established a
regular tariff OF blackmail. While the
supinesess of the authorities is largely
responsible. their difficulties are increase
by the fact that the people compound
with the robbers. and agree not to report
and prosecute on the promss of immu-
nifty.

The members of the Congressional
party leaving today will carry many
pleasant recollections of their visit to
these islands and each and every one
has expressed the strongest desire to
come back again some day. Not a
dull moment has been spent either here
or on the other islands, in fact so much
gaiety and excitement during their
entire stay will make the quiet rest
fulness of the sea voyage back to the
statse doubly attractive.
Honolulu was hospitable enough we
thought, but the other islands outdid
us in their royal preparations and the
warm reception given to our mainland
friends. The trip to Kauai was smooth
with delightful weather throughout
and the hospitality of the people was
much appreciated.
Hawaii was not lacking in all the de-
tails of making welcome our friends.
They were greeted upon their arrival
at the wharf by bevy of beautiful
girls who placed upon their necRs fra
grant leis artistically woven OF roses,
carnations, and MALE. This feature OF
their entertainment both here and the
other islands will be long treasured as
the prettiest welcome our guests have
ever seen.
They returned to Honolulu after
having seen the coffee plantations bear
ing berries red and green, the vast
stretches of sugar cane from the noun
tains to the sea, the Kona homesteads,
the pineapple canneries, Jared Smiths
tobacco region and the volcano, that
greatest wonder of the islands and
the world.

Big Strike Brought to a Close
Last Night.
CITY TIED UP FOR A WEEK
Employees Satisfied With Agreement
Which Includes Wage Increase of
One Cent an Hour

Philadelphia, June 5.-Normal
street car traffic was resumed this
morning, the great trolley strike of
1909 having lasted within four hours
of one week.
The agreement between the COM
pany and the strikers was signed last
night at 1880 o'clock, after a day of
intense anxiety on the part of the
trolleymen, who were frequently dis
concerted by many exaggerated ru-
mors concerning the negotiations I'M

When the aigners for the strikers
explained TO their fellow-workers at
the barns the full intent and scope of
the conditions under which they were
to return to their cars the vote which
followed indicated that they were sat
isfied. they were told to be prepared

The signing of tae agreement took
place in the Mayors office. Strike
Leader Pratt was not present, having
always contended that his business
was only to prepare the way for a
settlement and that he was convinced
that the men could do the rest.
A slight change was made in the
agreement which aad been drawn up
1t was decided at the last moment
that the increase in wages from q
cents to % cents an hour should 90

originally planned, July 1.
The present strike has been the
most complete tie-up ever expert
enced by local trolley companies. and
the temper of the people was more
violent than in the strike of 1895.
