LONDON society women are now
holding their balls in vacant houses
instead OF at the leading hotels. All
the fashionable balls had been given
at the hotels and as "a consequence
the guests would probably be dane
ing in the same ballroom two or
three nights in succession. This
naturally pallcd and enterprising
hosteSseS racked their brains to dis
cover solution. They did not care
to utilize their own houses this al
ways means turning the house upside
down, and in any case there is a
nasty crush - and so after due
thought some one had the bright
idea of hiring an empty house for
the night. decorating it. and invit-
ing her guests to dance there. The
idea instantly spread, and many
well-knOwn hoSteSses are now send
ing out invitations. for dances at one
or other of the great empty houses
in the West End.

The Hot Wave.

Our present experience is phcnom-
email. While we were only "a wecl,
ago commiserating the people of the
Far East and Middle West over the
dreadful intiiction of hot weather.
the temperature in some places at
tanning an altitude of l0S degrees
we were exceedingly happy in empha-
sizing the contrast presented in our
own State and on the whole Pacific
slope thereby. But it seems we called
game little too soon. Here was the
maximum temperature Sunday for a
of places on the western di-

Ethiopia, tank station near
Pasco, in Franklin county, was prob
ably the hottest place in the United
States, on the day selected for COM
parison, Sunday, July 10th. At elev-
en- places on this western slope the
mercury-record was over 100 degrees,
and only at Marshiield, on the Ore
gon coast, and Tacoma, Puget Sound,
was there any approach to a normal
temperature.
The horrible report of loss OF life
and destruction of many crops the
previous week. over the remainder
der of the country, are too fresh to
lhe memory to need restatement here.
Suffice it to say, we have fallen upon
unparalleled hard times when the ell
ements and conditions seem to be at
war with the comfort and happiness
of mankind.

Chinese Girl Slavery.

1t may not be generally known thai
a specie, of slavery riyaiing that OF the
war times. and still more odi0u,
from involving solely women vic
Tins is going on with San Francisco
a. il chief center. There is a dis
trict in that city known as Ross
Alley where this infamous traffic goes
on the year round, and Chinese girls
from II to - years of age, are in
generated in evil-smelling brothels
until they are disposed of, body and
soul. to some inhuman monster, to be
absorbed in wide stretch of country.
never TO be heard Of again by their
countrymen.
Lately Federal officers raidcd this
quarter in Chinatown, and found q
consignment of six girls who had
been kidnapped at Hongk0ng and
Smuggled across on one of the regu-
lar ocean liners probably with sane
ton OF their parents-and were found
concealed behind a sliding panel
discovered by sounding the wall with
Il hammer, and were taken to Angel
Island for deportation. They had
been told by their keeper at Ross
Alley that if they made an cutlery
they would be killed by the white
men managing the American end OF
the game. They We're waiting to be
sold for high prices, as they were all
young and pretty. The first object
of these shipments is to dispose Of
the girls to individual purchasers,
and if that fails to place them in no
torious bagnios to earn their passage
money and then be turned adrift to
shift for themselves.
Can such things be quietly toler-
ated in our boastcd governmental
scheme? Can body and soul. of hui
man beings be made the basis of a
policy ten times more odious than
that which aroused SO many millions
of our citizens to end African slavery
that reached only the bodies of that
haple>s class of people? Can nothing
effective be done. except by spas
modic efforts that while rescuing a
few show the existence and enorm-
ity of the foul blot on human rights
and common deccncy?

How SMALL MATTERS CAN CONTROL
SOMETIMES. The effort of the man
to sell $40 gold. pieces for $3.50
without etfecting a single sale, finds
q parallel at this time, in the proffer
of the General Government to OK
pend the balance of an appropriation
amounting to $43,0 for a public
benefit, provided interested property
owners will simply bear the expense
of a bulkhead, or retaining wall, that
will cost less than $1,000. And this
is not the only instance of a perverse
indication of human nature. A few
years ago an agent of the u. 5. Engi-
neers at Seattle, whose word is law
at Washington, promised a deep
channel dredging operation, if GER
tain Instructions were removed at
the draw then at the east end of the
Fourth street bridge, and if the
local mills would burn their refuse
instead of casting il adrift to litter
the shore-line. The obstruction at
the channel consisted of the fact that
one corner of the warehouse of Ike
Ellis was several feet over the chan
mel. 1t was plainly stated that I'M
less these things were done, the re-
port would be unfavorable. Was it
done? The City Council induced the
mills to enclose its fioatage by boom
logs, which when filled allowed every.
thing to float outside, and the ware
house was allowed to remain. 1t
was thus the opportunity was lost,
Just as this will be, unless public
spirit is actuated by a different in
centlve from what it has been. Let
1t be borne in mind that when Uncle
sam agents state conditions, they
mean business; that I, simple turn of
the hand may influence results, and
that the turn is made simply by an
impulse OF mind controlled by some
one in authority.

WHEN Is A MAN OLD?-A Madrid
n. T., paper has elected many anus
ing replies to this question. Out
OF o,2o6 answers, it is probably safe
to say that the diversity of opinion
involves the matter in inexplicable
doubt. Had the query been: when
is woman old?" it might have been
probably answered definitely and
forever by record of majority for
Nerer. But meeting the query
squarely as to mankind, one, doubt
less woman, replied: A man Is
young long as he can make woman
Jealous. " Another thought that a
man was old who could no longer
stoop down to tea woman's shoe:
still another. A man is old when
young woman kisses him with cold
lips and still another that "AIl
men are young until they think of
marriage"

INTERVIEW WITH A MOULDER OF
OPINION. The app roach of Presi-
dental change gives Banker Lord,
who has just returned from the East
a chance to express the hackneyed
opinion that a feeling of unrest al
ways prevails at that time to disturb
business interests. an original idea
is expressed, however. that the lum-
Der business was affected by poor
crops last year, and the same cause
may operate this year, from the pros
pective injury caused by excessive
heat. 1t is we'll to be able to prog
nosticate in this way, and to de-
termine JUS. the ratio of interest
that may prevail from weather con-
ditions and prospect of growing
crops. He thinks that reciprocity is
safe in the hands of Taft, who has
said that it is a good thing, which is
equivalent to Simon SAYS 'Wiggle
waggle.

THE MENACE OF ORIENTAL LABOR

THE MENACE OF ORIENTAL LABOR.
The Commissioner of Immigration
of California announced recently that
Asiatic labor in that State is ne
cessity IN order to take care of and
gather the fruit products; that white
labor in that behalf is out of the
question, for it cannot be had.
There is, however, another side to
the proposition. These Orientals
keep their wages; spend sparingly;
trade among themselves; patronize
their own stores and boarding houses,
and prove very detrimental to the
interests of local merchants and
the middle class pursuits, while COM
peting with deserving white labor
ers out of the means of procuring
subsistence. In the end the fruit
growers will likely suffer severely.
The Jap laborers to the number of
two thousand in Ventura county.
California, have organized themselves
into a union, demanding wages at
the rate of two dollars per day per
man; are liab BILE at any time
at the most inopportune moment
when their services are required, to
demand an increase of pay, and if
refused, strike as unit, which
would cause untold damage. The
history of the Jap laborers' strike,
employed in the sugar industry in
the Hawaiian Islands, demonstrates
the serious troubles that followed.
The planters considered seriously of
Kidding themselves altogether of en-
ploying Orientals and importing
white laborers to take their places.
1t is wise to make haste slowly in
such serious affairs.
