MANY CHINESE IN AMERICA
AROUSED OVER SITUATION

q Francisco. Oct. 16.-Fearlng THAI
the present anti-Manchu uprising in
China may develop into an anti-foreign
movement, the Sui Min Hok Sher. the
young China association in the United
States, is preparing to petition Wash
ington to instruct all American officials
In China to see that missionaries and
other Americans there maintain abso-
lutte neutrality.
simultaneously from the young China
association and, the Gee Kong tong,
the Chinese Free Mason society, which
is affiliated with the evolutionary
party. 1t is said that so per cent of
the Chinese in this country are mem
bers of the Free Masons.
A donation of $4,000 to aid the rev
olution was forwarded from this city
last night to Hankow. 1t was sub
scribed by Chinese in this country,
and is only a small part OF the sum
already forwarded, or to be sent. Sub
scriptions, it is stated, are made Sec
reilly because of the fear, even in this
country, of official vengeance on the
contributors.
The rising n China has filled the
Chinese quarters with great excite.
ment. All Chinese papers are receiv-
ing bulletins by cable from Hankon
and other points. These are pasted
on the windows of the newspaper Of
fees as soon as received.
All day crowds of Chinese, Their
faces utterly devoid of expression
studied the reports from across the
Pacific. Smotllered CALCULATIONS told
of feelings which mastered even orien-
tai habits of expression.
According to advices received here
today, 20 miles of railroad track have
been destroyed IN the province OF
Human.
At Hankow, the foreign residents
are drilling daily and preparing to de-
fend the concessions.

TAFT ASKED TO TAKE
SUGAR TRUSTS HIDE
Meriden, Conn, Citizens Would
Have President Take Up
Present High Prices.

Meriden. Conn, Oct. 1e.-Several
Meriden citizens have addressed an
appeal to President Taft to investigate
the Sugar trust. Among the signers
are DIR. e. w. Smith, a classmate at
Yale of President Taft. and William
H. Howes, who has been prominent in
local civic reforms. The petition in
part follows:
Since adjournment Of congress the
price OF sugar has nearly doubled. NO
reports have appeared in the public
press of any shortage in the sugar
crop. and no good reason has been
given for the increase in price. But
the Sugar trust has been to great ex-
pense for defense of charges of graft
ing and for heavy fines for being caught
with the goods, and we believe the
price of sugar has been advanced to
cover these expenses.
Recent Investigations have shown
that from corset springs under scale
beams to bribery of United States off,
Gals nothing has escaped the notice
of the Sugar trust that oul be used
to rob the people. Within a short time
one of our coteries Of trust magnates
laid plans to do business in Canada.
The Canadian government did not let
them skin the people for 40 years be-
fore it acted. The trust magnates were
notified that IL they started any
Jail. They decided not to do business
in Canada.
THE Jail is the place to punish trust
pirates. Fines rave no more effect than
shot blown from a bean blower.
we believe there is a splendid OPP
portunity for our president to serve the
people, and as American citizens we
request that the secret service and the
department Of justice be instructed to
camp on the trail of the Sugar trust
till its hide Is stretched on the wall.'

IN SOCIAL CIRCLES
Woman's Club Held Last Meeting OF
Club Year on Wednesday,

When the club doors were opened
on Wednesday, behold! Spring was
there in all her beauty and splendor,
represented by seventeen ladies. This
was the last meeting for the club year
1901, and the writer feels certain
that no year in the history of the club
has been more profitable or pleasant
than has this one under the very able
leadership of Mrs. Raysor. With the
beginning of October the club took up
the study of that ever famous comedy,
Merry Wives of Windsor with ques-
tons and outlines furnished by Miss
Friend; and when the holidays arrived
we found ourselves on very friendly
terms with that merry old Jack Fal-
staff, Mistress Page and Mistress
Ford.
After that little comedy, We took up
the study of King Henry V, said to be
Shakespeare's favorite hero. With the
22d of March our lessons were fin
ished, so Wednesdays meeting was
given over to final reports from the
different officers and the election OF
officers for the ensuing term. The
name of Mrs. j. A. Myers was present
ed for membership and she was unan-
imously elected.
The election of officers resulted as
follows:
President John Astin.
Vice President-Mrs. Webb Howell
Recording Secretary-Mrs. w. S.
Wilson.
Treasurer-Mrs. John Hines.
Corresponding Secretary-Mrs. Lie
bold.
Critic-Mrs. w. p. Bryan.
Parliamentarian-M A. NJ. Wal
drop.
Reporter Mrs. NJ. w. Sims.
Mrs. Raysor in her own gracious
manner spoke from out of her heart
and before presenting the gavel to the
newly elected president gave to the
ladies recipe for enjoying life, which
read as follows:
IF you cant make any Roadway,
And each day seems like dead day,
And the thorns begin to poster till
your nerves are shattered,
racked-
Stop q bit, and, quaffing
From the bottle labelled Laughing"
Drink your fill, then start over. Tis
a tonic, for fact.
Are you grumpy? Are you faded?
DO you feel all worn and faded?
Every time some fresh work doth you
claim?
Have you lost the thing called tact?
Try a cup of sunny chatting,
Sweetened up with merry laughing.
It's the best thing on the market for
a tonic, for a fact"
The afternoon closed with the serv-
ing of delicious cream and cake, and
each lady took her departure feeling
This world that we are living in
Is mighty hard to beat;
We get a thorn with every rose,
But amt the roses sweet?"

1911, by w. r. Foster. Last bulletin
gave forecasts of disturbance to cross
continent March 20 to April 2, warm

feature OF this disturbance was pre-
dicted to be a great high temperature
wave, followed by a great fall in tenn
perature and by a week of unusually
cold weather with rains in many
places in the states and Canada.
In the bulletin for March 25 the
rainfall for Canada and the states for
the month of April was given. That
bulletin should be preserved for refer
ence. This first disturbance of April
will, as stated above. cause rains in
many places, but not in those sections
for which dry weather was predicted
for April. The rains mentioned above
will therefore probably occur princi-
pally outside OF the dry sections men
toned in the bulletin of March %.
Next disturbance will reach Pacific
coast about April 2, cross Pacific slope
by close of Sd, great central valleys
4th TO 9Th, Eastern sections 7th. Warm
wave will cross Pacific slope about
April 2, great central valleys 4th,
Eastern sections 9Th. Cool wave will
cross Pacific slope about April 5, great
central valleys 18th, Eastern sections
9Th.
The warm wave of this disturbance
will not be very warm, while the cool
waves preceding and following will go
to unusually low temperatures, max
ing the week that will center on the
warm wave average very cool Rains
may be expected from this disturbance
in the April rain sections described in
the bulletin OF March %.
Next disturbance will reach Pacific
coast about April 8, cross Pacific slope
by close of 9th, great central valleys
10th to 18th, Eastern sections 18th.
Warm wave will cross Pacific slope
about April S, great central valleys
10th, Eastern sections 18th. Cool wave
will cross Pacific slope about April II, ,
great central valleys 18th, Eastern sec
tons 18th.
This will be one of the most impor-
tant disturbances OF the season, be-
cause it viii inaugurate splendid
period OF crop weather. Excessive
rains VIII, to large extent, cease and
warm, growing weather that will make
the farmers pulse beat with greater
regularity will come in and hold good
for most OF the month.
The cool wave preceding this storm
center will go near the frost line in
Northern sections, following which a
high temperature wave will cross the
continent AS that warm wave nears
Eastern sections the storm forces will
Increase and weather features become
more marked. The cool wave follow
ing will be moderate.

Science Notes.


The United States weather bureau
aspires to long-range forecasts. Glad
to note the progress. Not long ago
the professors of that institution, with
but one or two exceptions, ridiculed
all efforts TO forecast The weather more
than two days in advance.
The theory on which the administra-
ton of our United States weather bu-
reau directs its Investigations is that
the force of the radiations from the
sun varies, thereby causing our
weather changes. DR.. Abbott is the
author of that theory, and for many
years carried on his investigations at
the Smithsonian Institution and later
at Mount Weather, which belongs to
the United States weather bureau.
This work has already cost i'm
mense sums of money. But who dare
criticise the effort. If DR.. Abbott could
discover the cause of our weather
changes and work out a system that
would forecast the general weather
changes a year in advance he would
Immediately take place as the greatest
scientist of the presently age, and be
hailed as the worlds greatest bene-
factor. | hope congress will give him
ample funds and let his work go on.
But see many reasons for differing
from his theories. The causes of our
weather changes have all been discov-
cred. They were found by Analysing
a hundred temperature and rainfall
records covering fifty to one hundred
years. How does DR.. Abbott hope to
formulate system of forecasting with
out using records Does he propose
to wait fifty years in order to compile
records of the suns variations? How
can he get into the sun so as to get
at the causes in the sun that bring on
the suns variations?

Miss James Compliments Miss Raysor
with Announcement Party

Win announcement Harty -
One of the most delightful of recent
events, and one of the surprises of the
season, was the beautiful announce
ment party on Thursday afternoon
given by Miss Corinne James when
she announced the engagement of Miss
Lynn Raysor to Mr.. Elmer Russell, of
Matador, the wedding TO take place in
June. Quite a number of girls were
invited to this hospitable home for an
afternoon with cards. Miss Corinne
received her assembled guests with all
the cordiality and friendliness for
which she is noted. On entering, no
one even suspected the secret which
was afterward told, for the rooms were
just simply and sweetly decorated
with pretty spring blossoms, with here
and there a handsome palm or fern
that added to the attractiveness of the
scene.
The progressive contest with cards
was a veritable battle. Each contest
ant was so interested in playing that
all thought of outside things was for
gotten for the time, and the mind was
on the playing of five hundred. That
Miss Corinne is an ideal hostess has
been demonstrated so often that the
mere mention of her name in connec-
ton with a social function is a guar
antee of complete success; and so
this was proven on this occasion, for
after several games of cards the host
ess threw back the sliding doors en-
tering the dining room and there be-
fore the eyes of the guests was a
beautiful, picture that can never be
forgotten. Loving hands of true
friends had wrought wondrous beau
ties in the way of decorations. The
color scheme was pink and white, very
suggestive of an approaching mar
riage, but still the secret had not been
told.
Dainty and charming We're all deco
rative details and ensemble. In the
center of the table under the fes-
TONED chandelier was beautiful
bride doll dressed in white and wear
ing veil Around the edge of the
table were festoons of pink hearts.
and placed on dainty lace doilies were
bonbon dishes filled with delicious
homemade CONNECTIONS. A cobweb
made of tiny pink ribbons was woven
in the doorway and attached to one
end of each ribbon was a pink silken
