GO TO THE Oak Barber Shop FOR A MacMonnie's Studio In Paris. Those who expect to find in the studio of Frederick MacMonnie in Paris a sumptuous apartment, full of rare and costly "objets d'art" and hung with luxurious tapestries and brocades will be greatly astonished upon beholding its almost baralike severity. It is a workshop pure and simple, and its very bareness is eloquent of the high and serious plane on which the sculptor puts his art. But those who have seen it pronounce it fascinating for all that. There is not even a floor. One finds himself as entering on bare, uneven ground. In one corner is a big cage, and inside is a beautiful wild leopard, continually pacing up and down. MacMonnie is so fond of animals that he keeps this beast in his studio for the pleasure of watching the beauty of its stealthy movements. Scattered all around are numerous old casts of finished work, and also the uncompleted fragments he is now at work on. Among the former are the familiar Sir Harry Vane of the Boston Public Library and the beautiful but unfortunate Bacohante, and among the latter are parts for the colossal groups for the gateway of the Brooklyn park, to which he is now devoting all of his time.—Chicago Inter Ocean. Early Babylonian Surveyor. In the Zeitschrift Für Vermessungs wesen Professor Hammer directs attention to a Babylonian plan depicted on a clay tablet found in the excavations at Tello and now preserved in the Constantineople museum. The plan was made about 9,000 years before the Christian era and represents an estate belonging to King Dungt. It is of importance not only as a contribution to the early history of surveying, but also as a confirmation of the views on Babylonian measures of length and of area propounded by Reisner at a meeting of the Berlin Academy of Sciences on April 9, 1896. A copy of the plan has been examined by Eisenlohr, the eminent authority on Egyptian archaeology, and he claims to be able to read from the caneiform inscription the names of the two surveyors engaged. On one side of the tablet there is a dimensioned sketch of the plan of the estate not drawn to scale.

A copy of the plan has been examined by Eisenlohr, the eminent authority on Egyptian archaeology, and he claims to be able to read from the caneiform inscription the names of the two surveyors engaged. On one side of the tablet there is a dimensioned sketch of the plan of the estate not drawn to scale. The estate is divided by the survey lines into rectangles, right angled triangles and trapeziums. In each case the area is stated, two results obtained by different methods being given. Eisenlohr has plotted the survey, and his calculations of the area agree with the results given on the tablet. On the other side of the tablet the areas of the various portions are added together, two sets of figures being used, and the arithmetical mean taken as the correct area. The unit adopted, the "gan," is thought to be equal to 4,199 square meters. The absolute measures are, however, of slight importance. More important is the fact that land surveying was carried on 4,000 years B.C., apparently in an accurate manner, and certainly with check measurements. — Nature. Instead of packing the fish in the hold of the vessel the fishermen use flat, oblong boxes drilled with holes to allow free access of water, and into these the live fish are placed as soon as caught and are towed under water. By this means the fish are kept alive until the harbor is reached, and they are then taken out of the boxes and sold alive on the quay, so that there can be no question as to their absolute freshness. — Strand Magazine.

Weekly Gazette ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA. THURSDAY. APRIL 9. 1903. OF ANAHEIM In a Minor Key All good citizens will lend a helping hand to the municipal authorities and the societies which have manifested a disposition to plant shade trees along our public streets, for there is nothing which so beautifies a town as well-shaded thoroughfares. This proposition seems to have taken firm root among all classes of our people, and the work will doubtless soon begin in earnest. Nothing could afford a more pleasing prospect to the eye than rows of trees along our thoroughfares, like unto those which may be seen in gardens in scores of places in town. Anaheim has trees full forty years of age, and if palms and other shade trees had been set out along our streets and had now attained an age half that of these patriarchs our city would doubtless be today one of the objects of greatest interest to the throngs of incoming easterners. Here the first evidences of the vegetable wealth possessed by the soil were produced; always after the work of the mission fathers, here irrigation first found practice, and here the first fruit trees and vines were brought into a luxuriance that may since have been equalled but never surpassed. It is to be regretted that the aesthetic taste which forms so large a part of the local improvement clubs of Southern California was not given occasional dominance in the minds of our sturdy pioneers, and that the work now about can neighbors," he said, ought to "mount up into the millions annually, whereas, save for a bit of local trade between San Diego and Ensenada, these commercial relations are nil. Everything has had to give way to San Francisco," and this was the most outrageous infamy he ever heard of in his life, and he was getting along in years. "If you want to go to any port on the Mexican Pacific coast, except Ensenada." he said, "You have first to go to San Francisco to take the steamer. It costs you not less than $50 for the round trip, not including your hotel accommodations. People would willingly pay this sum were it not for the fact that it adds a week's time to one's trip. If you have an eye for figures you can compute how much this amounts to to a busy man of affairs. It simply interposes an insurmountable barrier to the existence of profitable trade relations between these communities. This rich Mexican trade has been diverted elsewhere—not only that, but the Mexicans seem as a consequence to be more distant and less friendly with us. They have wondered why we have not made an effort to secure their trade, but little by little they are becoming acquainted with the true state of affairs. Now it is the bubonic plague that is casting the scales from their eyes. Los Angeles, I am told, has been overrun with Mexicans of note of late who are anxious to cement the commercial relations between these two nations. San Diego is also looking after it a bit, and should the Rock Island extend its road." PRESIDENT'S SPEECH ON MONROE DOCTRINE Vigorous utterances of the Chief Executive Upon a Subject Dear to the American Heart. President Roosevelt on his triumphal journey to the Pacific Coast is making a record as a public orator upon questions of great national interest. In Chicago speaking to a vast throng, he referred in vigorous terms to the necessity for upholding the Monroe doctrine. At times he was wildly cheered and was frequently interrupted with great applause. In part he spoke as follows: "Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentleman: Today I wish to speak with you, not merely about the Monroe doctrine, but about our entire position in the western hemisphere—a position so peculiar and predominant that out of it has grown the acceptance of the Monroe doctrine as a cardinal feature of our foreign policy; and in particular I wish to point out what has been done during the lifetime of the last congress to make good our position in accordance with this historic policy. 'Ever since the time when we definitely extended our boundaries westward to the Pacific and southward to the gulf, since the time when the Spanish and Portuguese colonies to the south of us asserted their independence, our nation has insisted that because of its primacy in strength among the nations of the western hemisphere it has certain duties and responsibilities which oblige it to take a leading part thereon. We hold that our interests in this hemisphere are greater than those of any European power possibly can be, and that our duty to ourselves and to the weaker republics who are our neighbors requires us to see that none of the great military powers from across the seas shall encroach upon the territory of the American republics or require control thereon.' were produced; always after the work of the mission fathers, here irrigation first found practice, and here the first fruit trees and vines were brought into a luxuriance that may since have been equalled but never surpassed. It is to be regretted that the aesthetic taste which forms so large a part of the local improvement clubs of Southern California was not given occasional dominance in the minds of our sturdy pioneers, and that the work now about to be undertaken was not accomplished, at least in part, years ago. We might, if such had been the case, have had avenues lined with shade trees equalizing in picturesque effect the finest to be seen in California. Come to think of it, the streets of the early village were lined with trees, but they were of the willow variety, and were useful merely as fences, not as adornments of the landscape. But these have long since passed under the woodman's ax; few remain even on the outer thoroughfares. There was a single exception, however, in the row of lofty poplar trees encircling one of the twenty-acre lots, and which were, during the spring and summer time, objects of rare natural beauty, being easily discernable for a distance of many miles. The pioneer traveller, descending into the valley from the foothills at Los Goyotes, first beheld these trees from afar. Later he refreshed himself in the cool of their invigorating shade, with the sea breeze rustling their myriads of leaves overhead. But these stately trees have long since given way to the progress of our city, and for years have been objects quite out of mind. In addition to this work of tree planting along our city streets the supervisors should undertake to plant shade trees along the county roads. There was a movement to this effect some years ago, but it lapsed into nothing but talk. Occasionally one hears of the subject being taken up again, but it is to be hoped our citizens will achieve better results in the adornment of our streets than characterized the efforts of the county board. There is a matter connected with this question of tree-planting which is quite apart from the aesthetic, but which is none the less entitled to consideration. That is the scale question. Many of the trees aligning our thoroughfares, especially the peppers, are breeding places for scale and they have, from time to time, been reduced to fire wood. Wondered why we have not made an effort to secure their trade, but little by little they are becoming acquainted with the true state of affairs. Now it is the bubonic plague that is casting the scales from their eyes. Los Angeles, I am told, has been overrun with Mexicans of note of late who are anxious to cement the commercial relations between these two nations. San Diego is also looking after it a bit, and should the Rock Island extend its road westward to that city, the San Diegans will be in position to corral a slice of this trade. These Western Mexican states all feel very bitter towards San Francisco, and if this business relationship springs up between Southern California and Mexico it will be a long time before another dollar of it is diverted to San Francisco. Mexico is rich in minerals and other natural resources, and you ought to keep up the work of ealightening your readers about this business until you get it. Orange county should have its share of it." Then he added as he nudged me in the side: "I didn't mean that was the only true item I had ever seen in the paper, but it appealed to me so that I thought I would have a talk with you about it and give you this Mexican cigar." The Santa Ana Bulletin, which is edited by a bright young boy recently from the celery fields and the Peatlands, says the editor of this paper in referring to the action of the war department relative to the Bolsa Chica dam, sold his 'fluence for a "mess of pottage." If this startling accusation be true then the war department and the editor of this paper are in the same boat, as it were, and both have, to my mind, sold themselves cheap. But the boy wonder of the Bulletin is the same kid who, in referring to Judge Daniels as a candidate for the superior bench last fall, said that "he was a man of few peers and no equals." This was harsher on the Judge than this more recent utterance directed against this paper, but it proves that what the Bulletin's boy wonder says is not always true, on the contrary very far from it. EXPENSES OF LEGISLATURE. Legislatures come high but we have to have them. The session of the Senate just closed cost the state $94,500 as against $77,315.13 for 1901, or an increase of $17,184.87. The assembly this year cost the people $128,263.20, as against $116,356.49 for 1901, or an increase of $11,906. These figures show less friendly with us.

Legislatures come high but we have to have them. The session of the Senate just closed cost the state $94,500 as against $77,315.13 for 1901, or an increase of $17,184.87. The assembly this year cost the people $128,263.20, as against $116,356.49 for 1901, or an increase of $11,906. These figures show that the session just closed cost the people $29,147.58 more than the session of 1901. In round numbers the session cost the state nearly $225,000, a very tidy little sum. And we venture the guess that no other state can match these figures unless it be New York, Pennsylvania and Illinois. THINK IT OVER. The Elkhorn (Manitoba) Advocate in a recent issue submits the following for the benefit of the business man who does not succeed in business: And it came to pass that after he had advertised his goods there came unto him great multitudes from the region around and did buy of him, and when his competitors saw it, they marvelled among themselves, saying: "How is it that this man is busy while we have to loaf about our doors?" And he spake unto them saying: "Verily, verily, I say unto you, in this fast age of push and bustle it is easier for a camel to enter the eye of a needle than for a business man to flourish without advertising." Catarrh Cannot be Cured with Local Applications, as they cannot reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh is a blood or constitutional disease, and in order to cure it you must take internal remedies. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Cure is not a quack medicine. It was prescribed by one of the best physicians in this country for years. and is a regular prescription. It is composed of the best tonics known, combined with the best blood purifiers, acting directly on the mucous surfaces. The perfect combination of the two ingredients is what produces such wonderful results in curing catarrh. Send for testimonials, free. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Props., Toledo, O. Sold by druggists, 75c.

"It is expressly stipulated, furthermore, that this guaranty of neutrality should not prevent the United States from taking any measures which it found necessary in order to secure by its own forces the defense of the United States and the maintenance of public order. Immediately following this treaty congress passed a law under which the president was authorized to endeavor to secure a treaty for acquiring the right to finish the construction of, and to operate, the Panama canal, which had already been begun in the territory of Columbia by a French company. The rights of this company were accordingly obtained and a treaty negotiated with the republic of Columbia. This treaty has just been ratified by the senate. It reserves all of Columbia's rights, while guaranteeing all of our own and those of neutral nations, and especially permits us to take any and all measures for the defense of the canal, and for the preservatives of our interests. whenever in our judgment an exigency may arise which calls for action on our part. In other words, these two treaties, and the legislation to carry them out, have resulted in our obtaining on exactly the terms we desired the rights and privileges which we had so long sought in vain. These treaties are among the most important that we have ever negotiated in their effects upon the future welfare of this country, and mark a memorable triumph of America diplomacy—one of those fortunate triumphs, moreover, which redounds to the benefit of the entire world.

Venezuelan coast and a condition of quasi-war ensued. OUR POSITION MADE PLAIN. "The concern of our government was, of course, not to interfere needlessly in any quarrel so far as it did not touch our interests or our honor, and not to take the attitude of protecting from coercion any power unless we were willing to espouse the quarrel of that power, but to keep an attitude of watchful vigilance and see that there was no infringement of the Monroe doctrine—no acquirement of territorial rights by a European power at the expense of a weak sister republic—whether this acquisition might take the shape of an outright and avowed seizure of territory or of the exercise of control which would be equivalent to such seizure. ASSURANCES FROM BOTH POWERS. "Both powers assured us in explicit terms that there was not the slightest intention on their part to violate the principles of the Monroe doctrine, and this assurance was kept with an honorable good faith which merits full acknowledgment on our part. At the same time the existence of hostilities in a region so near our own borders was fraught with such possibilities of danger in the future that it was obviously no less our duty to ourselves than our duty to humanity to endeavor to put an end to that. Accordingly by an offer of our good services in a spirit of frank friendliness to all the parties concerned a spirit in which they quickly and cordially responded, we secured a resumption of peace—the contending parties agreeing that the matters which they could not settle among themselves should be referred to The Hague tribunal for settlement. The United States had most fortunately already been able to set an example to other nations by utilizing the great possibilities for good contained in The Hague tribunal, a question at issue between ourselves and the republic of" NOTABLE SPEECHES AT HOME MARKET CLUB Secretary of War Succidently Points Out Dangers that Attend Every Necessary Revision. Elihu Root, secretary of war, and United States Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts were the guests of honor at the annual dinner of the Home Market club at the Hotel Somerset, Boston, on Wednesday of last week. The occasion was of signal interest because the speeches of Secretary Root and Senator Lodge were regarded practically as the words of the administration at Washington on the anticipated issues of the next national canvase. Secretary Root spoke on the tariff. He said in part as follows: "There is no fetish in the tariff schedules, and no sacredness in particular rates of duty. If through original error or changes of condition the provisions of the law work ill to the country, then at the proper time, and in the proper way, a sensible people will change the law. If the law is working well as a whole, common sense requires that we should endure some faults, even though they be serious, rather than destroy the general good effect by constant tinkering. "A revision of the tariff is a great and difficult task, not to be undertaken except for grave and serious reason. The decrees of an absolute monarch can make and change the tariff laws without discussion or delay, but 14,000,000 voters represented by 368 congressmen and 90 senators cannot. The effect of this discussion furnishes the chief reason why revision should not be undertaken until it becomes a necessity." A second consideration is that you cannot get rid of trusts by revising the tariff, unless you are ready to reduce the duties in the classes of manufacture in which the so called trusts their independence, our restricted that because of its strength among the nations in hemisphere it has cerand responsibilities which make a leading part therethat our interests in this are greater than those of an power possibly can be, duty to ourselves and to our republics who are our requires us to see that none of military powers from shall encroach upon the American republics or therefore, therefore not only forlesse in such territorial but also causes us to obquirement of a control in its effect be equal to grandizement.

Accordingly by an offer of our good services in a spirit of frank friendliness to all the parties concerned a spirit in which they quickly and cordially responded, we secured a resumption of peace—the contending parties agreeing that the matters which they could not settle among themselves should be referred to The Hague tribunal for settlement. The United States had most fortunately already been able to set an example to other nations by utilizing the great possibilities for good contained in The Hague tribunal, a question at issue between ourselves and the republic of Mexico being the first submitted to this international court of arbitration. "The terms which we have secured as those under which the Isthmian canal is to be built, and the course of events in the Venezuela matter, have shown not merely the ever-growing influence of the United States in the western hemisphere, but also, I think I may safely say, have exemplified the firm purpose of the United States that its growth and influence and power shall redound not to the harm but to the benefit of our sister republics whose strength is less. Our growth therefore, is beneficial to human kind in general. We do not intend to assume any position which can give just offense to our neighbors. Our adherence to the rule of human right is not merely profession. The history of our dealings with Cuba shows that we reduce it to performance. "The Monroe doctrine is not international law, and though I think one day it may become such, this is not necessary as long as it remains a cardinal feature of our foreign policy and as long as we possess both the will and the strength to make it effective. This last point, my fellow citizens, is all important, and is one which as a people we can never afford to forget. I believe in the Monroe doctrine with all my heart and soul. I am convinced that the immense majority of our fellow countrymen so believe in it; but I would infinitely prefer to see us abandon it than to see us put it forward and bluster about it, and yet fail to build up the efficient fighting strength which in the last resort can alone make it respected by any strong foreign power whose interests it may ever happen to be to violate it. SPEAK SOFTLY AND CARRY A BIG STICK "Boasting and blustering are as objectionable among nations as among individuals, and the public men of a great nation owe it to their sense of national self-respect to speak courteously of foreign powers, just as a brave and self-respecting man treats all around him courteously. But though to boast is bad, and causelessly to insult another, worse, yet worse than all is it to be guilty of boasting, even without insult, and when called to the proof to be unable to make such boasting good. There is a homely old adage which runs: 'Speak softly and carry a big stick, you will go far.' If the American nation will speak softly and yet build and keep at a pitch of the highest training a thoroughly f and difficult task, not to be undertaken except for grave and serious reason. The decrees of an absolute monarch can make and change the tariff laws without discussion or delay, but 14,000,000 voters represented by 368 congressmen and 90 senators cannot. The effect of this discussion furnishes the chief reason why revision should not be undertaken until it becomes a necessity. "A second consideration is that you cannot get rid of trusts by revising the tariff, unless you are ready to reduce the duties in the classes of manufacture in which so called trusts are engaged—that is to say, in all the principal kinds of manufacture—to such an extent as to put an end to all American manufacture. "A third thing to be remembered is that out of no possible revision is anybody likely to get the kind of tariff law that he wants. "In determining when and how revision shall be undertaken, two cardinal rules should be observed. First. It should be done only when congress is as free as possible from the distractions and temptations of an active political campaign. "The second rule to be followed is expressed by the oft repeated saying that the tariff should be revised by its friends. Whatever principle the people of a country wish to have embodied in a tariff law, the men who believe in the principle should frame the law. If the American people are ready to abandon the principle of protection and face the crash and downfall of our present prosperity, which would immediately result, then they should hand the revision over to the Democratic party and that is the meaning of the men who are crying 'revise the tariff' in order to destroy the trusts." SAME OLD FALSEHOODS. Senator Lodge spoke of Canadian reciprocity, whose value, he said, had been much overestimated, and then turned to the Philippines. He said: "A fortnight since certain Democrats of this neighborhood held a continuous performance one day at Faneuil hall in regard to the Philippine islands. It is needless, because it is futile, to put the facts before the persons, who cultivate this particular topic for political purposes. The facts go before them, and the next day they tell the same old falsehoods, just as if there were no such things as facts in the world. The charge is that I have suppressed evidence and balked inquiry into affairs in the Philippines. My answer is a brief history of what has been done by the Republican party in the senate, and by the War department. "We Republicans deeply deplore the fact that any cruelties were ever committed by any American officer, or any American soldier, upon anyone in the Philippines. We believe that any officer or man guilty of such conduct should be tried by court-martial and we believe that that has been done. But we also believe that some consideration should be given to the circumstances under which these cruelties occurred. We remember their provocations. We deplore and censure the Pressly stipulated, further this guaranty of neutrality prevent the United States any measures which it may in order to secure by the defense of the United States the maintenance of public immediately following this press passed a law under President was authorized to secure a treaty for acquiring it to finish the construction operate, the Panama canal, already begun in the Columbia by a French The rights of this company singly obtained and a treaty with the republic of Coils treaty has just been the senate.
