Poor Defenseless Men

A certain painter in New York
though he is still young man and
looks younger, has a way of winning
prizes at national academy exhibitions
and such. Also he has studio near
Central park. The other day he went
into the park with the sort OF para
phernalia artists use when they go
sketching. He picked out a place to
suit him, set up his workshop, and
fell to work very earnestly. Presently
he was aware of something behind
him-something with eyes. He looked
UP. There stood a smartly dressed
young lady, aged or thereabouts
She was frankly interested in what
he was doing and met his gaze with
out embarrassment
do you mind If little girl looks
over your shoulder" she said
Not if she is a good little girl" re-
piled the artist politely-and went on
with his painting. 1t was some time
before he looked up again. The young
lady of was still. there. She caught
his eye and bent toward him with an
eager, coaxing smile.
What do the naughty little girls
say to your" she whispered-New York

some Of bis men, including Lieutenant James

age went to his assistance to carry him toward
the rear As they were lifting him up he
noticed that the regimenta colors were In
danger and said: Lay me down and save the

the request in the nature OF peremptory order
and it was obeyed. The flag was rescued by
Lieutenant Nugent, who, as soon as possible,
returned to the colones side, but a moment
after was shot and mortally wounded The
wounded colonel was picked up by the enemy
and taken to their camp. where he died IS
hours after After his death his widow received
from President Lincoln a commission that had
been issued to her late husband the same day
that he received his mortal wound. creating him

Manchus. He is product of their system and
OF course used to it. The idea of republic IS
more foreign to his ideas than that of monarchy,
and the disorder and turbulency, not to speak of
actual revolution, which has marked his presi-
dency would lead him naturally to wish to see a
restoration OF the old order of things.
Moreover there is little real demand for a
republic in the northern and central provinces, in
which Yuans life has been spent
The only genuine spirit of repubcansm to be
found in China is centered in the province of
Quang Tung, whence practically all the Cinnamon
who emigrate from home have gone, and espe-
cally thence to this country
The half century of less emigration
from Quang Tung has caused the spirit of repub-
licanism to permeate the southern provinces
They are naturally suspicious of Yuan's inten-
tions. The best way out, if Yuan is really sin
cere, is for him to resign, and if he doesn't he will
probably meet the fate that has beallen presidents
in more civilized republics.

GUNNER Resort Always

y San Francisco has for the first time been
put on a summer resort basis by both the
Santa Fe and Southern Pacific railroads in the
matter of week end excursion fares from points IN
the San Joaquin and Sacramento valleys, as tar
south as Bakersfield and as far north as Sacra-
mento.
There is no new reason Tor this action Inc
climate has not changed, but apparently Doth
railroads have simultaneously discovered the iact'
known to every citizen of San Francisco, that THIS
CITY is an ideal summer resort, and as such justly
entitled to summer resort excursion railroad fares.
Tn fact and in truth there is no summer resort
in the country so delightful San Francisco.
Eastern newspapers, even as far as New York,
shamelesslv claim that the cities which are con-
trolled bv old General Humidity are nice places Tor
summer residence even when the able editor who
writes the shameless tale does so painting for
breath almost shrtless and with perspiratlon
standing in boiling globues all over him. Here as
Professor McAdie says in his weather bureau bull
letin on the climate of San Francisco, during the
summer months, owing to low temperatures, the
absolute weight of water vapor per unit OF volume
and the vapor tension much less than at coast
stations of the Atlantic. In New York the mean
temperature in July is 755 and in San Francisco it
is SIS The mean vapor pressure here IN July IS
.384 inch and in New York it is .5S8 inch.
The sea fog which comes rolling in from the
Pacific every day acts like shade for the sun, as
it shuts out 50 per cent more of the possible sun
shine; according to Professor McAdie between
and p. nl the boiling hot time of day elsewhere
during June, July and August.
Few people realize that there within the city
limits several hills that would pass for mountains
in flat country like New York; four of them, Mt.
Davidson Mt Sutro and Twin Peaks, being more
than 900 feet high. By of the hills, and OF
location between ocean and bay, frequent light
winds blow, making the city agreeable even in the
hottest weather.
With a climate like this, with perfect ocean
beach, boats plying in all directions, and with
every known attraction of great city, if any one
can name more attractive summer resort than
San Francisco the name does not appear in the
time tables of the railroads, which have at last dis
covered, after many years, that this is a summer
resort.

Gold Mining in Infancy

J. Wada. the most noted japanese
''musher" who ever explored Alaska.
believes that the southwestern section
of the territory will be developed into
the greatest gold producing region In
the world Wada has travelled con-
,tinuously over the great district of
the frozen north since the days of the
Klondike rush, and he knows the coun-
try like a book He IS noted as a dog
driver, expert miner, and he has grown
rich in the business Of locating and
selling claims. which nearly always
pan out beyond expectations of the
purchaser.
Il have just returned from the Kus-
kokwins district" he said yesterday
at the st. Francis. That camp is not
a boom camp and ] would not like to
say anything that would start a rush
opinion. the richest placer deposits on
the globe are to be found In that re-
gion. The gold taken out is almost
pure, being valued by assay at little
more than $19 an ounce Most of the
big mining men of Alaska are now
turning their attention to the develop
ment of Kuskokwins. 1t is easy to get
supplies and the claims, as a rule, are
not hard to locate.
The tourist travel to Alaska is
greater this season, according to
steamship men, than 1t has been for
several years. Alaska is settling up
rapidly in the more favorable localities,
although it will be many years before
the population becomes congested. |
believe if Japan owned Alaska 1t would
be developed into one of the richest
countries in the world. Its coal lands
are inexhaustible and its gold deposits
and other mineral deposits second to

Railroads Abused by Public

A. f. Sanbourne of Wilmington, Del.
general counsel for the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad and the Reading lines. is
a guest at the ST Francis. Mr.. San
bourne and his wife are on a long va
cation, during which they will take in
Alaska and probably the Hawaiian
islands. They depart for the north
Wednesday.
Mr., Sanbourne says that the general
condition of eastern railroads is better
than might be expected from the way
the transportation lines are being
.harassed by labor organizations, the
interstate commerce commission, Iegis-
lative bodies. both state and national,
and the public in general
The public sentiment toward rail-
roads and railroad corporations has
been decidedly hostile for the last few
years" said Mr.. Sanbourne "Legis-
lators seem to take pleasure in passing
laws that will cripple us or make II
hard to run our trains at a profit. Just
now the labor question is most vital
one and the labor organizations have
the sympathy OF the people as whole.
We are abused on every hand by those
who do not stop to consider what the
railroads mean TO the country.
AT the same time have reason to
belieye that public sentiment is not so
bitter toward common carriers as IL
has been. 1t seems to me that the
people are more willing to cooperate
with US. Cooperation is absolutely
necessary for all concerned in the oper-
alton of transportation line. If we
do not obtain the confidence of the
public then it will only be matter
of time until the government owner
ship of all railroads will be an abso-
lutte necessity. But | do not predict
anything so detrimental TO the welfare
or the country"
