YANKEE FRILLS
Wife and Children of Chinese
Minister Sail Derssed in Latest
American Fashions.

/ SAN FRANCISCO, July 19.-After
more than three years in Washing
ton with her husband, Minister
/ Chang, Nine. Chang IS returning TO
the Orient She is accompanied by
two daughters. a son, Henry K.
Chang. a lit daughter-in-law and
a tiny granCShiId. During her resi-
dence in America Nine. Chang has
changed her ideas about many things,
and about others she maintains the
old Chinese beliefs.
The two young daughters, Miss
Alice and Miss Lille Chang, have
been attending school in Washington
for two years, and with the progress
Of their education have abandoned
their picturesque nature clothes for
American garb
Whether they will adopt the clothes
Of their native country on their re-
turn remains 10 be seen. Miss Alice
Chang, who spoke for the party at the
St. Francis before they sailed on the
MauChuria, said;
1T all depends on what is in fash
ion In China.
Favor American Fashions.
IF we find American clothes fash
ionable out there, we shall wear them.
We adopted them when we entered
Guunison Hall, our Washington
school These are more convenient
when travelling" she added, pointing
TO a pale blue silk crepe costume wi, n
the latest frills and furbelows. when

The question Of recent changes N
China is of especial interest to Nine.
Chang and her daughters.
The idea that women may vote in
China and that the door Of opportu-
nifty is opening for them daily there
has caused the Chinese women to be
thoughtful.

WOMAN JURORS
SCORN STYLE Of
SMART LAWYER
Beau BrummeI Clothes and Bach
elor Button Of Barrister Fail
to Win His Cause.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 19.-Per-
sonal pulchritude and unusually
smart habiliments, heightened by a
bachelors button and an ingratiating
manner, failed to win for Assistant
District Attorney Maxwell McNutt,
in his appeal to the jury of women
which tried Mrs. Bertha J. Williams
on an extortion charge to-day. After
celebrating one hour and So min
utes, the jury, the first in the his
tory of the world composed of wom-
en- to hear a felony case, brought
in verdict of acquittal.
"Of course she said she did what
she did, but we didn't think when she
said she did it, she meant she had
meant to do it" said one Of the jury
women.
Hence, Mrs. Williams attired in a
fetching Milan hat and a neat white
serge tailored suit, much sCrutinized
by the jurywomen, made discreet os-
culatOry advances to her benefaCtOrs,
and the incident was closed.
Mrs. Annette Robinson, also ar
mored in attractive feminine filings,
was the complaining witness in the
case. She accused Mrs Williams of
having written her a letter April s,
attempting to extOrt $3.50 in return
for the delivery Of a trunk said to
have contained certain evidence
which, according to the letter would
have embarrassed Mrs. Robinson, had
it fallen into the hands of the pO-

NATION FINALLY
REFUSES BURR'S
PENSION PLEA
United States Decides After 79
Years Just to File Request
in National Museum.
BY JONATHAN WINFIELD.

WASHINGTON, July I9.-After
Some deIay-7s years, 20 be more or
less exact-the United States Gov
eminent has decided on final action
on Aaron Burr's application for a
pension. The Government proposes
to put the application in the Ma
uoual Museum. This is a patriotic
and quite Inexpensive method Of dis
posing Of formal application for
money
Exhibited in a glass inclosed case
in the museum, the papers may rest
peacefully and indefinitely telling
future generations that in his last
DAYS Burr was considerably hard
up" This IS a fact not generally
known But If future generations
happen TO be Obseryant they may
notice that the papers show Uncle
Sam to be d bit tardy In matters Of
pensions
Papers Valuable Historically.
Historically the papers are very
valuable They contain letter writ
ten boy George Washington to Aaron
Burr which even to-day about $50
years after the letter was penned-
rs in state of perfect preservation.
ANY student Of values Of historical
relies can tell how much such
thing +, worth officials at the Ma
ueual Museum declare the letter to
be Invaluable"
The paper is a bit yellow but it is
intact The ink is a trife faded, but
can be read without difficulty even
without the aid of glasses. And. fur
thermorc. the letter reveals a bit of
Washingtou's character more clearly
than a volume of history. The miss
i've shows how the general treated
with his officers. Burr had written
to Washington requesting leave Of
absence from military duty on ac-
count Of in health and suggesting
that while off duty his pay may be
discontinued.
Here is George Washington's re-
ply to Burr;
Headquarters,
Frederick. 26th Oct, 177S.
Dear Sir:
Il have your favor Of the cath. You.
m my opinion, carry your Ideas OF
delic8Cy too far when you propose to
drop your pay while the recovery o:
your health necessarily requires your
absence from the service It is not
customary. and It would be unjust.
You therefore have leave to retire
until your health IS so far re-estab-
Hshcd as 10 enable you to do your
duty.
BE pleased TO give the Colonel no.
toe OF this. that he may know where
10 call upon you should any unfore-
seen oxigen"y require It.

For His Twin Brother
Chicago Youth Struck When Angry
Swain AVenges Pleasantly His
Duplicate Was Guilty OF.

CHICAGO, July 19.-William and
Otto Andler, Of 1851 North Whipple
Street, are twins. William passed a
pleasantly about a lass who was going
her way with one William Dieverkorn.
Sudden anger surged through Die
verkorn, but he held himself in check
and escorted the young woman home.
Then he came back, met Andler on
the street an gave him a Earring wal
lop.
Andler soon discovered that the
blow was meant for his brother and
that Dieverkorn got mixed in the de-
livery of the goods.
Otto Andler refused to rest on this
explanation. He caused the arrest of
Dieverkorn, and it came out in court
how William got the laugh Otto got
the punch and DieverkOrn got the
hook.
Judge Sabith inspected the twins,
said he couldn't see any difference
and dismissed the case, warning Die
verkorn to be more discriminating in
the future.

on. / have seen the big leaguers play
ball and ! know ii is a faster game
than they play in the minors, but my
theory is, when speeding with the
speeders, speed up, cut in the juice
and throw 'er into the high gear. If
the machine won't stand the speed
then it's back to the slower crowd.
l intend to play ball as I have
been playing in the minors, hitting
the ball when it comes within my
reach, grabbing the high ones when
they come out my way, and sometimes
going after them when they don't, and
running the bases with the intention
Of getting somewhere. That's my
theory of baseball. l believe a ball
player should take good care of him
self and give his employer his best
efforts as is demanded in every other
line of work, and l have noticed that
those who fail to do this usually land
on the junk heap.
