There is a certain generous hearted gentleman in Atlanta who until a few nights ago had an excellent opinion of all newsboys. He has changed now, says The Journal. When he saw the stereopticon exhibition Miss Jerry advertised to appear at the Grand, he decided to give the newsboys a treat. Every one that could be found was given a ticket of admission to the gallery. The boys formed into two companies and marched to the theater. When the performance began, all the lights in the house were turned out. This was absolutely necessary. The first picture shown was greeted with cheers by the newsboys. The man who had brought them there smiled. He only smiled once, however. The picture dis appeared at the proper time, and before another could be shown the boys in the gallery began to yell. Then a shower of pins fired from rubbers on the fingers of the newsboys rained down upon the audience. One boy threw an apple. It struck a lady on the head. The lady screamed, and then the newsboys yelled with delight. Grains of corn, programmes, cigarette boxes and dirt were sent flying down upon the persons in the pit. The gentleman who had been instrumental in bringing the boys to the theater rushed to the gallery. He begged them to be quiet. They gave him the laugh. Officers were finally called in, and the boys were made to form a line and march out. They made as much noise in leaving as a band of Indians on the warpath would have done. The boys have now lost one admirer. The Critics. Flick—Call him a musician! Why, he doesn't know the difference between a nocturne and a symphony. Flack—You don't mean it!

Women have secured equal political rights with men in Wyoming since 1869, in Colorado since 1893, in Utah since 1896 and in Idaho since 1897. Sixty years ago women could not vote anywhere. In 1845 Kentucky gave school suffrage to widows. In 1861 Kansas gave it to all women. In 1869 England gave municipal suffrage to single women and widows and Wyoming gave full suffrage to all women. School suffrage was granted in 1875 by Michigan and Minnesota, in 1876 by Colorado, in 1878 by New Hampshire and Oregon, in 1879 by Massachusetts and in 1880 by New York and Vermont. In 1881 municipal suffrage was extended to the single women and widows of Scotland. Nebraska gave school suffrage in 1883 and Wisconsin in 1885. In 1886 school suffrage was given in Washington and municipal suffrage to single women and widows in New Brunswick and Ontario. In 1887 municipal suffrage was extended to all women in Kansas and school suffrage in North and South Dakota, Montana, Arizona and New Jersey. In the same year Montana also gave taxpaying women a vote on all questions submitted to taxpayers. In 1891 school suffrage was granted in Illinois. In 1892 municipal suffrage was extended to single women and widows in the province of Quebec. In 1893 school suffrage was granted in Connecticut and full suffrage in Colorado and New Zealand. In 1894 school suffrage was granted in Ohio, a limited municipal suffrage in Iowa and parish and district suffrage in England to women both married and single. In 1895 full suffrage was granted in Australia to women both married and single. In 1896 full suffrage was established by Utah and Idaho. In 1897 equal suffrage amendments were submitted in North Dakota and Washington, and will be voted upon next fall in those states. Santa Fe Time Table Effective Jan. 25, 1903.

Editorial Note and Comment One of the most noteworthy things incident to the agitation of the liquor question in the two larger towns of Orange county is the friendly reference made to Anaheim on the part of a number of newspapers in this state and out of it upon the probability of a vote being taken here to test the question whether or not saloons will be permitted to continue. Scarcely a mail reaches this office but one or more are found to contain friendly references to us, and the press clippings bureau swells the list to many more. Some of these papers are prohibition organs—all of them are opposed to the sale of liquor. These allusions to our city have, for the most part, been kindly to a degree; only the addle-pated or misinformed could speak otherwise. Anaheim is now one of only three towns in Southern California where the liquor business is licensed, the other two being San Bernardino and San Pedro; I have not yet heard whether Dr. Chapman has a purpose to swoop down with his minions of prohibition upon these two towns. Anaheim was in the beginning of its history a great wine-making section, but since the blight wiped out the vineyards of Southern California little wine has been made here, although the industry has been partially resumed during the past few years when newly planted vines have again come into bearing. We have numerous cellars where no wine among its population some of the best men and women in the state—men and women of education, refinement and social and political standing at home and abroad. We have all the churches, schools the best in the state, and a section of country rich in its natural resources. As we offer every inducement to the home-seeker the town and its outlying territory are rapidly filling with a desirable influx of settlers. Talk about the growth of these prohibition towns we hear so much about, I make the proud boast that no similar section in Southern California has made greater material development and greater progress in its upbuilding than the country right here about Anaheim. We have one of the best systems of irrigation in the state, and within five years that has been supplemented by the erection of a hundred extensive private pumping plants which lift from the vast subterranean lake underlying us, a flow of water exceeding ten thousand inches. Now if Long Beach, or Redlands, or Riverside can beat this let the residents of those dry towns trot it out. In town a dozen new buildings are in course of erection, and probably half that number of brick business blocks are in contemplation for the near future. We are not growing quite so fast as some of the parade towns of Southern California, but when reference is had to our growth and that of the country side immediately tributary to us it will be found that it is a growth not only unique, but prodigious in the history of the state. diplomacy John Hay can command, will exert itself to save what it can for American commerce out of the wreck. There will be no war unless Japan should be foolish enough to start one alone, for she would not have the support of this country or England, and if there is resort to arms it will be of short duration. Secretary Hay, after hearing from the President, sent a note to China, through Minister Conger, at Peking, protesting against the acquisition of a foot of Chinese territory by Russia or any other country, and warning China what the consequences will be if she permitted the alienation of any part of the empire. The President left the matter entirely in Mr. Hay's hands. Copies of this note were sent to all the powers that signed the treaty of Peking. Japan and England are expected to forward notes that are substantially copies of it to China. The other powers are expected to do nothing. Mr. Hay also sent a copy of the note to Ambassador Tower at St. Petersburg. He will present it to the Russian foreign office and in this way the Czar will be reminded of his broken promises. Russia will send another disclaimer that she has always been ready, and China will answer in substance that she is powerless. Then will come more notes and protests, but the program will go on. Mr. Hay may succeed in keeping one port in Manchuria, and some in other provinces that are to be grabbed, open to American trade for a while. But discriminations will soon commence and gradually increase in Dr. Chapman has a purpose to swoop down with his minions of prohibition upon these two towns. Anaheim was in the beginning of its history a great wine-making section, but since the blight wiped out the vineyards of Southern California little wine has been made here, although the industry has been partially resumed during the past few years when newly planted vines have again come into bearing. We have numerous cellars where no wine has been made for fifteen years, yet they contain a sufficiency of the sparkling fluid to make Dr. Chapman tight many times over. Much of this wine has attained an age of thirty years and over, and its taste and sparkle would tickle the palate and delight the eye of a connoisseur. Many of the well-known residents of California are regular purchasers of this wine. For home consumption and for medicinal uses it is the equal of any made in Andalusia. I would rather have a bottle of that wine than listen to a prohibition lecture any day in the week. But the pen digresses. The newspapers which are printing so many kindly references to us seem, some of them, to take these facts into consideration; and the fact that we were once a wine-making community lends all the more interest to this prohibition discussion. Now I want to say right here that, despite these wineries, and despite also the other fact that we have seven saloons in the town, Anaheim is one of the most orderly places in Southern California. There is little drunkenness here and a man under the influence of liquor is a rarity upon our streets. There may be an occasional young sprig of gentility, from the adjoining dry towns, who may get his little hide tank full and when driving home late at night he may maltreat his horse, whipping him into a gallop and fire his little pop pistol into the air. But our officers have him on their list, and one of these days he may reap the whirlwind from the wild oats he is now sowing in the wind. Take away the less than half-dozen wrecks that have come with us down the line of the drink habit and the others, whom one might count on the fingers of his hand, who are always ready to go on a periodical toot, and you cannot find among our whole population, myself included, a single drunken man in Anaheim, from one year's end to another. These wrecks are woefully picturesque, and it is charity to draw the residents of those dry towns not out. In town a dozen new buildings are in course of erection, and probably half that number of brick business blocks are in contemplation for the near future. We are not growing quite so fast as some of the parade towns of Southern California, but when reference is had to our growth and that of the country side immediately tributary to us it will be found that it is a growth not only unique, but prodigious in the history of the state. Let us talk about something other than prohibition—I really believe that will come sooner or later, newspaper discussion or no newspaper discussion. There seems to be a rising war cloud in Manchuria, and the United States may be drawn into the imbroglio. A month before the destruction of the Maine no one dreamed that we should go to war with Spain, yet like a thunderous peal from a clear sky came the conflict on and the tale was written at Manila bay and Santia o. There is no prospect now of a rupture between the United States and Russia; we have been traditional friends for better than a century. All the same there is no American who will not thrill at the emphatic call down of the Bear by John Hay in the matter of the newly promulgated Russian demands in Chinese land. The wires have been laden with the story, but it is to our interest to repeat it here. With American promptness and a keen eye on the serious loss of trade that is already in sight in the far East, this country was the first to protest against the Russian grab of Manchuria. The United States made the first move and will continue to act independently of all other nations. It will be given the active support of Japan and the more passive support of England. Those countries will echo, in a major and a minor chord the protests from Washington, and there it will end. Protests will accomplish nothing, for it has become evident from conferences at, and advices to, the state department that Germany and France, at least the first, are secretly in league with the Czar and the total dismemberment of the great Chinese empire has at last commenced. Russia is simply making the first grab. After the little fuss over Russia's seizure of Manchuria has blown over, Germany will assert sovereignty over the rich province of Shan Tung, in which she now holds Kiao Bay and the country his broken promises. Russia will send another disclaimer that she has always been ready, and China will answer in substance that she is powerless. Then will come more notes and protests, but the program will go on. Mr. Hay may succeed in keeping one port in Manchuria, and some in other provinces that are to be grabbed, open to American trade for a while. But discriminations will soon commence and gradually increase and in the end American goods will be forced out. Count Cassini, Russian Ambassador, sent an expected friendly note to Mr. Hay today. He said he had no official information from his government, but assured Mr. Hay that in whatever was done in Manchuria, the interests of the United States would be preserved. Mr. Takahira, Japanese Minister, discussed the situation with Mr. Hay for an hour, and ascertained the position of this country. Baron Sternburg, the German Minister, also called at the state department. Manchuria was talked off, and the Baron's remarks bore out the belief that Germany would not oppose Russia's grab, and that Germany is in full accord with the Czar. There is a strong belief in government circles in London that Russia is trying a bluff to see how strong the Anglo-Japanese alliance is. It is thought that the Czar's government will make a display of force to try to cause England to break with her new ally. If the Alliance resists by making a counter-demonstration, it is generally thought that Russia will back down. London and Tokio will probably ask the United States to make a personal protest to Russia first, and then if this proves unsuccessful they will jointly take a strong stand in the matter. The present situation in the Balkans is liable to get out of hand at any moment, and Russia could not afford in such a contingency to become embroiled in the Far East. It is believed that Russia will yield. Russia has massed a strong fleet of war vessels in the Orient, Japan is feverish with the war spirit and the United States has before it matters of momentous interest. The Pulley Line Pole. The tall clothes poles for pulley lines used in the yards of tenements have practically come into use within 25 years. There are enough of them standing in the city now to make a respecta- may reap the whirlwind from the wind. Take away the less than half-dozen wrecks that have come with us down the line of the drink habit and the others, whom one might count on the fingers of his hand, who are always ready to go on a periodical toot, and you cannot find among our whole population, myself included, a single drunken man in Anaheim, from one year's end to another. These wrecks are woefully picturesque, and it is charity to draw the mantle of obscurity over them. There is not one of them I trow who would not give all he possessed if things were different with him. They might have been useful citizens and their abject condition excites nothing but pity. God help them. Those other young fellows who are ever ready to jump up, crack their heels together and go on a "high lonesome"—Well, of all of them it can truthfully be said they are the best of workmen, when they are sober (and they are frequently sober), and I hope they take my advice and never get drunk any more. It would be better for them if they never got boozy again. On the other hand we have Senator Jones, Mr. C. C. Chapman, the orange grower, Rev. Burr and a host of other good people who are strict teetotalers, and whose presence cannot but be regarded as an honor to any community. I count it as a distinct advantage to Anaheim every time Mr. Chapman is seen upon our streets; and that is also true of Senator Jones and many other dry people who live in town or a short distance from it. Now to all these papers that have recently been talking about us, all these things are perfectly well known. They know that Anaheim numbers for it has become evident from conferences at, and advices to, the state department that Germany and France, at least the first, are secretly in league with the Czar and the total dismemberment of the great Chinese empire has at last commenced. Russia is simply making the first grab. After the little fuss over Russia's seizure of Manchuria has blown over, Germany will assert sovereignty over the rich province of Shan Tung, in which she now holds Kiao Bay and the country immediately around it. The Kaiser probably will not even be content with all Shau Tung, but will reach farther into the interior. Then France will move the border line of French Indo-China north and east one take in the province of Kwangsi. By that time, it is expected, England will have fallen into line and will transform her present "sphere of influence" in the Yang-tse-kiang valley into a colonial government. The Czar and the Kaiser will back France up in carrying out her grab, and France and Russia will give Germany their moral support when her turn comes. In that way they will prevent the possibility of war and the combined grabs will be accomplished without any fuss. Then they will agree on the friendly division of what little is left of China. The province of Pechili, with its port of Taku, will be one of the choice morsels to be assigned one of the allies after the arrangement, as it is now understood, has been carried out. Russia is expected to reach down and annex Pechili to Manchuria, while Germany and France will be satisfied with additional territory in the interior adjoining their respective grabs. While all this is going, Japan will rage, and this country, with all the F J. CHENEY & CO., Props., Toledo, O. Sold by druggists, 75c. Hall's Family Pills are the best. John Hay can command, himself to save what it can mean commerce out of the here will be no war unless should be foolish enough to alone, for she would not support of this country or stand if there is resort to be of short duration. Hay, after hearing from sent, sent a note to China, minister Conger, at Peking, against the acquisition of Chinese territory by Rusother country, and warns what the consequences he permitted the alienation part of the empire. The left the matter entirely in his hands. Copies of this sent to all the powers that treaty of Peking. Japan and are expected to forward are substantially copies of China. The other powers had to do nothing. Also sent a copy of the Ambassador Tower at St. John. He will present it to a foreign office and in thisazar will be reminded of promises. Will send another disclaimer has always been ready, will answer in substance as powerless. Then will notes and protests, but then will go on. May succeed in keeping Manchuria, and some instances that are to be grabbed American trade for a treaty discriminations will influence and gradually increase in the end America. SENATOR JONES ON DRINK Who Can Point Out One. Single Redeeming Feature of the Saloon? He Asks. "Said one of the leading merchants of Orange county the other day, in talking about this prohibition racket: 'The argument by the dry weather people to the effect that the incoming thousands of easterners now flocking into California scrutinize the map to select for their future habitation the prohibition towns, is all bosh. Look at Los Angeles, with more saloons than you can shake a stick at, leading the cities of the country in its accumulation of wealth. This is a case in point.'" EDITOR GAZETTE—Dear Sir: The above outburst of eloquence from your last issue set me to thinking and I wondered how the leading merchant or the editor of the Gazette could attribute any part of the accumulated wealth of Los Angeles to the presence of its numerous saloons. I always imagined that the great wealth of Los Angeles came, not because of the saloon, but in spite of it. The moral and progressive element that has flocked to Los Angeles to have a good home in a delightful climate, is so much greater than those who think it their duty to visit, and spend a large part of their earnings in the saloon; enterprise of a meritorious character has simply forged ahead so rapidly, the baneful influence of the saloon can't hold prosperity back. Have you ever tried to compare the benefits, to the possible injury, resulting to those who are liberal patrons of the saloon? I have often tried it, but for the life of me I can only think of the injury. I will name a few that occur to me, and ask you who think a well kept saloon is an institution we ought to have, to name some of the benefits that are not accompanied with a resultant evil or injury. 1st. The treating system leads to more drinks than a young or old man needs, which is over-drinking. Pensions Signs are not wanting that Civil war veterans who opposed Pension Commissioner H. Clay Evans through his term are about to open fire on his successor, Capt. Eugene F Ware. The Union Veterans' Union is taking the lead in the formation of the soldiers' political organization, the object of which is to extort from the next National Republican convention an assurance that the veterans will receive better treatment at the hands of the pension office, on pain of an organiz'd bolt. The chief feature of Capt. Ware's policy in the pension bureau has been the relegation to the rear of old men and the advance of young men. Old men are generally veterans. Mr. Ware has preferred in some cases Southern men and Democrats. This has embittered the veterans. Aside from this distinctive feature of Cagt. Ware's policy, complaint is made that the whole pension policy of the bureau is about the same as it was in Mr. Evan's time. Pensions, it is asserted, are delayed just as long, and as many claims are rejected. Gen. R. G. Dyrenforth, commanderin-chief of the Union Veterans' Union, said today: "After Henry Clay Evans had been rewarded for his infamous treatment of veterans by being appointed to one of the greatest offices at the disposal of the President, one of the prizes in politics in the United States, we looked for improved treatment for the veterans in the pension office and applications for pensions. "The treatment of comrades in the pension office, however, would seem to indicate that if any veteran there can keep it from being known that he served his country in war, he had better do so, otherwise the 'youthful' Commissioner of Pensions may declare him to be too old to be any good." There appear still to be many and great complaints of delay and injustice. will send another disclaimer that has always been ready, will answer in substance to powerless.

Mosquito in Disease Science has established the connection of the mosquito with disease clearly within the last few years, but the new quarantine regulations issued recently are unique in containing the first recognition of this fact by specific rules, making it mandatory on all quarantine officers to take recognizance of this insect. The new quarantine regulations signed by Secretary Shaw are the first which have been issued since 1899. They cover thirty-six pages of printed matter and contain, besides, all laws relating to the subject, 185 specific regulations governing the subject. the mosquito figures in several of these regulations which constitute substantially all new features of the quarantine precautions. Definite instructions are given for destruction of mosquitos on board ships leaving foreign ports for the United States, particularly if the ship is leaving a country in which yellow fever is prevalent. During the passage of the ship, if a passenger becomes afflicted with malarial or yellow fever, the regulations prescribe that he shall be covered with the baneful influence of the saloon can't hold prosperity back. Have you ever tried to compare the benefits, to the possible injury, resulting to those who are liberal patrons of the saloon? I have often tried it, but for the life of me I can only think of the injury. I will name a few that occur to me, and ask you who think a well kept saloon is an institution we ought to have, to name some of the benefits that are not accompanied with a resultant evil or injury. 1st. The treating system leads to more drinks than a young or old man needs, which is over-drinking. 2d. Over-drinking soon disables him for the proper performance of his daily duties; hence a discharge. 3d. An over-drinker has no choice of positions, soon becomes discouraged and it seems can't help becoming a drunkard. 4th. His wife discovers she is a drunkard's wife, and her children are the children of a drunkard, and happiness takes wings and files away. 5th. Twenty per cent of the moderate drinkers who spend from three to ten dollars per month at the saloon can't afford it, and by thus helping the saloonkeeper pay his high license, themselves will never be able to save a little for a rainy day. 6th. The saloon benumbs the honest sensibilities of politicians and many men elected to properly execute the law. 7th. Its best customer becomes a burden to the community, a sorrow to himself and his family, and a heavy weight to the saloonkeeper. The above dont begin to cover the harmful effects of the saloon upon prosperity, but we will stop, and ask the editor, the merchant, or any of the readers of the GAZETTE to tell the "dry weather people" how any man who enters a saloon is in the slightest degree befitted thereby. It will be interesting and instructive reading and may open somebody's eyes. T. J. JONES. Mosquito in Disease Science has established the connection of the mosquito with disease clearly within the last few years, but the new quarantine regulations issued recently are unique in containing the first recognition of this fact by specific rules, making it mandatory on all quarantine officers to take recognizance of this insect. The new quarantine regulations signed by Secretary Shaw are the first which have been issued since 1899. They cover thirty-six pages of printed matter and contain, besides, all laws relating to the subject, 185 specific regulations governing the subject. the mosquito figures in several of these regulations which constitute substantially all new features of the quarantine precautions. Definite instructions are given for destruction of mosquitos on board ships leaving foreign ports for the United States, particularly if the ship is leaving a country in which yellow fever is prevalent. During the passage of the ship, if a passenger becomes afflicted with malarial or yellow fever, the regulations prescribe that he shall be covered with the baneful influence of the saloon can't hold prosperity back. Have you ever tried to compare the benefits, to the possible injury, resulting to those who are liberal patrons of the saloon? I have often tried it, but for the life of me I can only think of the injury. I will name a few that occur to me, and ask you who think a well kept saloon is an institution we ought to have, to name some of the benefits that are not accompanied with a resultant evil or injury. 1st. The treating system leads to more drinks than a young or old man needs, which is over-drinking. 2d. Over-drinking soon disables him for the proper performance of his daily duties; hence a discharge. 3d. An over-drinker has no choice of positions, soon becomes discouraged and it seems can't help becoming a drunkard. 4th. His wife discovers she is a drunkard's wife, and her children are the children of a drunkard, and happiness takes wings and files away. 5th. Twenty per cent of the moderate drinkers who spend from three to ten dollars per month at the saloon can't afford it, and by thus helping the saloonkeeper pay his high license, themselves will never be able to save a little for a rainy day. 6th. The saloon benumbs the honest sensibilities of politicians and many men elected to properly execute the law. 7th. Its best customer becomes a burden to the community, a sorrow to himself and his family, and a heavy weight to the saloonkeeper.

"There appear still to be many and great complaints of delay and injustice in the treatment of pension claims; in fact, there has been no improvement in the treatment of veterans over Evans' regime." In speaking of Captain Ware as a 'youthful commissioner,' Gen. Dyrenforth was sarcastic. Ware served through the Civil war and in Indian wars. It is asserted that hundreds of thousands of civil war veterans are already affiliated with the new political organization. The Grand Army of the Republic is not permitted to take part in politics as a body, but the projectors of the movement say that Grand Army men are in sympathy with it. Discouraging.

"The strange money I ever saw," said a drummer for a Main street house,"was in the mountain districts of Kentucky and West Virginia. I was making my semiannual tour through this district,and I stopped one day at a little grocery and saloon. While I was there a big husky mountaineer entered the place and called for a drink.As he finished gulping it down he reached into a big bulky pocket and drew forth what looked to be a coonskin.He laidthe skin onthe counter,the barkeeper tookthe skin,and openinga drawer hauledouta rabbit skinwhichI supposewasthe change.The mountaineer picked upthe rabbit skinand startedtothe frontpartofthestorewhichwasshegrocery.Here boughta twistof tobaccoandtenderedthe rabbit skininpayment.Here receiveda big twistof long green,andIwas surprisedtoseethestore-keeperreachinanotherdrawerandtenderhima squirrelskin.Themountainertuckedthe squirrelskininhispocket.walkedout.unhitchedhishorseandrodeaway."

Cherry Shipment The fruit season of 1903 began last week at Vacaville with the shipment of the first cherries by Robinson Broa- to New York. The first shipment last year was grown on the same ranch and shipped on the same date. The pro- imise is good for a large crop of cherries, but quite late, the season usually beginning twenty days earlier. Get your new straw hat at Yungbluth & Kreeger's.
