cause have nothing else to dor be-
cause it is my duty2 because want more

these questions, they are well worth
while. In another column of the News
answers to the question why do you
not 90 to church," are given and in
this article are brought together some
reasons given for going to church.
One thing most assuredly is that Rev.
Pat Davis is splendid evangelist and
Sunday night he said he would give any
man in Cloverport one hundred dollars
who could beat him preaching. Rev.
Davis declares that he did not bring a
meeting to Cloverport in his vest
pocket, but that the good that he has
done or might DO has been brought
through the High Power. But surely
he must be to blame for some things
that have taken place i'll the meeting,
the children's choir for instance 1t is
a wonderful little body of singers and
there is hardly a child in town who is
not wearing badge given by Brother

Chinese PRINCE
TIPS SlOO IN DAY
Tsai Tao Leaves Snug Sum for
Bellboys When He Leaves
Palace Hotel

One hundred dollars a day for tips?
1t sounds large, but this is the sum
paid out by Prince Tsai Tao of China
when he left the Palace hotel on Sat
urday. Pursuant to a custom of the
orientals, the prince offered no tips to
the boy or the maid who waited on him
at the time of the service He waited
until he was leaving before giving
proof of his generosity.
There may have been some misgiv-
ings during the day among the boys
of the bells that the prince was not
really going to come through" In
fact. many murmurings Were heard
when the boy came back from the i'm
perial suite after delivering a telegram
or a pitcher of ice water with his palm
unprofaned with the filthy lucre.
But joy reigned supreme yesterday
when it was known that the prince had
left 500 for distribution among those
who had served him. The minister OF
war had only been in the hotel one
day, having arrived on Friday noon
and having departed Saturday noon.
Orientals as rule, the boys on the
bench say, are more generous in their
tips than the European traveller. and
Prince Tsai Tao was quite up to the
standard

Young Woman Who Aided Shirt
Waist Workers Strike
Here on Mission

Interest in the visit of Mrs. j. Pier
pont Morgan, wife of the famous
banker, and party to the city centered
yesterday in the report that while here
Miss Anita Morgan, only daughter of
the financial king, would devote much
of her time to a study of the con-
dition of women workers in San Fran
cisco.
That the benefactress of the shirt
waist workers, however, did not intend
to occupy Sunday in a discussion OF
the labor or other sociological ques-
tions was apparent from the fact that
with the exception of a couple of hours
of automobiling during the afternoon,
Miss Morgan and the other members
fthe party remained in their apart
ments at the Fairmont, denying them
selves to callers.
PRACTICES PHILANTHROPY
full fledged member of the
womens trades union league in which
she pays a yearly fee of 81, an en-
thuslast1c supporter of the shirtWalst
makers in their famous strike against
sweat shop conditions in New York,
and one of the projectors of a national
federation of womens labor unions
Miss Morgan is today the most prom
inent figure in the struggle to ameli-
crate the condition of the members
of her sex who do not enjoy indepen-
dent wealth. That her interest also ex-
tends to the entire nation and not to
the problem in New York alone is well
known fro mthe fact that with an in
herited genius for concentration of
resources she is forcussing the entire
strength of the women workers OF
America in a great central organiZa-
tlon designed to give country wide
weight to their demands.
1t has been with the purpose of ac-
quainting herself with the details of
women's organizations in all parts of
the country that the tinanciers daugh-
ter, during the present tour with her
mother has studied local conditions
wherever she has visited, and is now
evincing interest in the problems of
working women in San Francisco.
DOESN'T BELIEVE IN SPEECHES
Most striking in Miss Morgan's at
tempts to help women workers has
been her foregoing of glittering speech
es In favor of concrete and practical
enterprises. To bring the New York
shirt waist manufacturers to time Miss
Morgan did not rely Oratory, but
threatened the incorporation of a mill
lion dollar factory which would not
only recognize the girls union, but
would establish wage scale higher by
far than that demanded. to which the
other manufacturers would eventually
have to conform with a resulting re-
duction of their profits.
During Miss Morgan's visit here, it is
probable that she will confer with Miss
Maud Younger, the millionaire member
of the local mattresses union, who is in
close touch-with the entire labor situa-
tion and is a proponent of the national
organization scheme.
The Morgan party, which includes,
besides the financier's wife and daugh-
ter Misses Rhett, Blythe and Smith of
Boston, will probably leave here the
latter part of the week for the east in
the private car Independence. Prior to
coming here the party had travelled by
easy stages through the south and
spent several weeks in Pasadena.

Ferreted Out of Park Bushes
and Empty Casks to Tell
Their Occupation"

Having completed, to a large ex-
tent, the enumerating of the respect
able portion of the city's population,
the United States census bureau is
now directing it's efforts toward the
byways and side alleys of the com
munity, picking up the stragglers of
humanity, the wine buns vagrants
and tramps.
These are located in cellars, empty
casks, deserted houses and doorways.
During the recent warm nights they
were beaten out of the bushes in the
parks. The sun drew this curious col
lection of citizens from their cellars,
and the enumerators made hay while
the sun shone. A common trick of the
enumerator is to wait for these indi-
viduals at the doors of cheap lodging
houses. When one lurches in he is
grabbed by an enumerator and put
through cross examination.
What's your occupations" one was
asked.

Most of the names given by these
gentry are fanciful. and as the state
ments are not under oath their word
must be taken. On one question they
all seem to agree. They have been out
of work for the year. There is pathos
in the answers at times, as, for in

NOTED SACKvILLE--
. WEST CASE FAILS
Court Practically Throws Out Suits
Started By Son OF Late Dip
lOmat To Acquire Title.

LONDON, Feb. Judge Sir John
Brigham, OF the probate court, prac-
tically threw out OF court today the
famous "Sackville peerage case"
whereby Ernest Henry Sackville
West. son of the late Lord Lionel
Sackville West, former minister to
Washington. sought to acquire the
title and estate left by his father.
Judge Bigham on the strength OF
evidence presented by Sir Robert Fin
ley said he was satisfied that Josefa
Duran, the Spanish dancer and moth
or of the claimant. whom Lord Sack
vile was said To have married some
time between 1863 and 1857 while at
tached to the English legation at Mad
rid. was married at the time to An
tonic De LaOliva, who died in 1868.
Even granting the contention OF the
petitioner that Lionel Sackville was
married to the claimants mother, the
Judge said the marriage was illegal,
thus destroying the petitioners rights
to the Sackville title and estate which
are now held by Lionel Sackville
West. a nephew OF Lord Sackville,
who married his cousin. the sister OF
the petitioner.
Sir Robert also produced a docu-
ment written by Lord Sackville. on
Sept. %, 1881. declaring that he was
never married TO Josefa Duran, hav-
| ing admitted the marriage TO save the
name OF the woman and that the
claimant and Ave other children born
to him and Josefa were illegitimate.
Damaging letters written by the
petitioner himself were produced by
the defense. One was written to the
petitioners sister Victoria, on the &C.
casion of her marriage in 1890, TO her
cousin, the present Lord Sackville. In
this letter, the petitioner definitely
admitted that he and his sister were
illegitimate and praised their father
for the treatment he had accorded
them.
In letter which Lord Sackville
wrote to the petitioner on Oct. 81,
1896 in reply to letter in which the
son had asked for the recognition or
the children's legitimacy, he said:
IL never married your mother. Con-
sequently you, as well as your broth
ers and sisters, are illegitimate."
The writer expressed the pain II
gave him TO have to write to his son
to this effect.
Another letter from the late Lord
Sackville. in which he refused 20 let
his children by Josefa visit him in
England, on account OF the scandal IL
would cause. was read to the court.
In 1903 Ernest Henry Sackville
West tried to have his right to the
title and estate OF his father estab-
lished, but was defeated
Lord Sackville was dismissed from
his post of English minister to Wash
ington by President Cleveland, for
writing a letter to a correspondent in
California. stating that the reelection
OF Cleveland would be satisfactory to
England.
