OUR NEW YORK LETTER Shots at Random of Gossipy Happenings of the Day New York, Nov. 4, 1910. (Correspondence of the Gazette) Chafing under the means employed, if Mrs. W. C. Stewart ever gets a chance to square accounts with her haughty step-daughter, Mrs. W. D. Leeds, widow of the multi-millionaire lead magnate, who ejected her a few weeks ago from her handsome suburban home at Montclair, which belongs to the latter, there will sure be one picturesque time of it. Mrs. Stewart has been camping on the firing line for a week or more watching for an opportunity to make a breach in the Pinkerton guard line, which is detailed to protect the house from any hostile sorties which the indignant woman may undertake to recover possession. Accompanied by her daughter she sought to gain entrance the other day through a ruse, pretending that she desired to get a valuable hair pin which she had left behind her when the emissaries of Mrs. Leeds several weeks ago selzed her in bed and summarily carried her out of the house wrapped in a blanket. Divining her purpose the servant and guard slammed the door in her face and sliced the dog on her like any common intruder. Retreating under pressure she blouacked on the sidewalk outside while she summoned her lawyer for a conference to discuss the best way of re-establishing herself in the mansion. To make such a feat more difficult of achievement Mrs. Leeds, who is riled by the attacks made upon her by her step-mother, has doubled the force of Pinkertons and is prepared to withstand a protracted siege. That the outcast step-mother, who feels like a queen dethroned since she was put out of the imposing looking mor that gets him into half his troubles. It is our common sense that pulls him out. "Women are naturally tactful. Tact and truthfulness are frequently compelled to seek a divorce for mutual incompatibility. And women are always on the side of tact. "One thing I've noticed, and that is, that women are rather more honorable toward each other than they are toward men. I think there are several reasons for that. In the first place, of course, women can deceive women less easily. They know what to expect. Then each woman can tell her own lies—they don't have to lie out of kindness for each other, as they have to lie for their men folk. Then, of course, there's the element of self-protection, which frequently enters into the attitude toward the opposite sex. And, finally, men like women to lie for them. The first law of acquaintance, friendship, love—any sort of social intercourse between man and woman—is for the woman to keep the man guessing. Did not the wisest poet endow his mightiest siren with—infinite variety? "Men like to be cajoled and wheeled and managed, provided it's done with proper art. Suppose we were 'frank' and 'outspoken' and said,'You do this,' 'You don't do that?' The men would be unhappy and so would we, for we shouldn't get what we wanted. "The verbal broomstick is as bad policy as the material one. "Sometimes, too, I've fancied that men enjoyed woman's lies because we're so much more clever at the business than they, poor things. We are really artistic, and they make such a botch of it. Though it isn't for lack of practice," she added, musingly. Justice Greenbaum's edict, to the end that it is the duty of geniuses to Retreating under pressure she blivouacked on the sidewalk outside while she summoned her lawyer for a conference to discuss the best way of re-establishing herself in the mansion. To make such a feat more difficult of achievement Mrs. Leeds, who is riled by the attacks made upon her by her step-mother, has doubled the force of Pinkertons and is prepared to withstand a protracted siege. That the outcast step-mother, who feels like a queen dethroned since she was put out of the imposing looking building in which she lived a life of sumptuous elegance, has in mind embarking upon a sanguinary campaign is apparent. For the next few months Mrs. Leeds may expect to be bombarded with legal processes from half a dozen angles. One of these will be for damages in a substantial sum, the evicted woman claiming that her prid has been irreparably damaged by the unceremonious means employed to get her out of the premises. The window of Leeds, who gave her the house in question is prepared for the fray and can be counted upon to put up a stiff fight. Slumming has lost one of its most picturesque features by the placing of a police embargo upon the visit of white men and women to Chinatown after 1 a.m. Under the new regime in the saddle of police headquarters the free intermingling of whites with the yellow skinned sons of Confucius has been held to be not for public peace and order and is strictly tabooed. Those "smart" society matrons who have heretofore found diversion and excitement in midnight excursions to the opium dens, fan-tan parlors and joss houses wherein the Oriental is seen in his native environment must now seek other and less bizarre amusements. Policemen who took a census of the white residents of the crooked little streets constituting the Chinese quarter were amazed the other night at the large number of white women who make their home there as consorts of the almond eyed denizens of the section. With few exceptions all of them are slaves to the deadly opium habit. When the police ordered them to vacate the neighborhood they presented a pitilable spectacle. Some of them hastened next day to the city hall with their Chinese lovers and took out marriage licenses. This tied the hands of the police and made their expulsion impossible. All those who could not prevail upon the wary "Chinks" to marry them have been taken to Bellevue hospital in "The verbal broomstick is as bad policy as the material one. "Sometimes, too, I've fancied that men enjoyed woman's lies because we're so much more clever at the business than they, poor things. We are really artistic, and they make such a botch of it. Though it isn't for lack of practice," she added, musingly. Justice Greenbaum's edict, to the end that it is the duty of geniuses to support their wives like other men may fall like a cold shower upon the artistic temperament of that dilettante sculptor, Frank Edwin Elwell, whose wife sued him in the supreme court for separation, as well as upon many another self-pretending genius who poses as a highbrow on the occasion of freak club dinners and monkey attraction social functions. But there is an additional class of bounders upon whom the law, if it were to go into force, might have the effect of a douche frappe. Reference is made to certain coterie of titled personages, who come "out to the states to gobble the dollars of the title-crazy daughters of the nouveau riche. A census taken of the blase hotels of New York shows that at present there are roosting twenty-five chaps with crowns, diadems, tiaras and coronets made of anything from tin to Bartica rubber, waiting for the opportunity to catch a Yankee heiress asleep and sink their talons into the poor, poor things' hearts and fly away with the girl papa's money-bags and all, to their mortgage-loaded estates on the crumbling old castle on the banks of the River Oblivion, in No Man's Land. It is a question what some of these patrician-blooded parasites would do, if the law were to be enforced to the letter in harmony with Justice Greenbaum's views. Shades of international marriage-wrecks rise in awful evidence. The Anglo-American and numerous alien-Yankee conjugal misfits including the Alice Thaw-Earl of Yarmouth, Consuelo Vanderbilt-Duke of Marlborough, and Anna Gould-Count Boni de Castelene flasco fires that have been built upon Hymen's altar, suggest other batches of martial troubles, scandals, washing of dirty family linen, and loads of divorce garbage that might be dumped down to fester beneath the noses of decent people, provided the twenty-five or more dukes, princes, marquises, lords and counts in New York were to succeed in winning Yankee dollar brides. The husband being financially incapacitated, the wife would be compelled "We find this taxation criminatory in that they greater than that impersonations."

With few exceptions all of them are slaves to the deadly opium habit. When the police ordered them to vacate the neighborhood they presented a pitiable spectacle. Some of them hastened next day to the city hall with their Chinese lovers and took out marriage licenses. This tied the hands of the police and made their expulsion impossible. All those who could not prevail upon the wary "Chinks" to marry them have been taken to Bellevue hospital in the hope of curing them. The white men victims of the habit have not been so fortunate. The bars have been closed down tight against them and they have been notified that their presence in the section will justify arrest. This is the first real effort ever made to cleanse Chinatown of one of its most dangerous vices. To date it has been wonderfully effective. "Are men more honorable than women?" "Decidedly not," says Dr. Anna Glasgow, a brilliant club woman with a large following. Not since the day when that pressing question of "How old is Ann?" was first propounded has such a vital interrogation set New York clubdom on its ears as has this innocent little query. With the cards seemingly stacked in hopeless array against the men, Mrs. Oliver Herford, the clever wife of the popular author and dramatist has come to the rescue of the helpless genus homo. "Why," she said yesterday, "I always agree when a man tells me that women are less honorable, less truthful, less trustworthy, than the members of his own sex. I think we are all these things. And I think it's a great mercy for the men." "It is man's wonderful sense of hu- Count Boni de Castelene flasco fires that have been built upon Hymen's altar, suggest other batches of martial troubles, scandals, washing of dirty family linen, and loads of divorce garbage that might be dumped down to fester beneath the noses of decent people, provided the twenty-five or more dukes, princes, marquises, lords and counts in New York were to succeed in winning Yankee dollar brides. The husband being financially incapacitated, the wife would be compelled to pay the running expenses of the house. Elwell's counsel said of his client: "This man is a genius, who is fond of his art and his art is not remunerative." Many a nobleman is a parasite who is fond of his idleness and loafing and does not pay. Even as the Magdalen was forgiven and redeemed, so may the ordinary sinner be redeemed according to an edict issued by the supreme court. When he shows a disposition to eschew his evil ways it is the duty of humanity to extend a welcoming hand and help lighten the task of rejuvenation. The case, which called forth the opinion of the court, was that of Mrs. Hattle A. Frank against Joseph A. Frank, er husband, from whom she sought a separation on the ground of failure to support her. The couple were married when they were twenty years of age, and have had a hard time of it. In commenting on the case the court said: "If a woman marries a shiftless fellow, one who is lazy and indolent, she has made a bad bargain, but that is not necessarily a ground for a legal seperation. "If the husband has money and does not support his wife, then she What is the answer no doubt seek relief under the more favorable states because free tion, if amendment No And while some of the corporations favor this passage is viewed as to the welfare of the upon whom the real nally rest.

I'm incl a chance. There is world that the sinner At the suggestion compromise was effect A LITTLE LATE, BUT GOOD San Francisco Merchants' Exchange Against Tax Amendment As we write, Wednesday afternoon, reports come in that senate amendment No. 1 has been irretrievably snowed under. Early reports of Tuesday's election were that the amendment, together with other objectionable bond amendments, had been defeated, and as late reports come in, it seems safe to say the amendment has been decisively defeated. The San Francisco merchants exchange came out in a letter against the amendment in the closing days of last week. The communication was received too late for insertion in our last week's issue, but it is good enough this week, even though the election is past into history. It reads: "The Merchants Exchange, San Francisco, Nov. 3." "To the Members of the Merchants Exchange: "At a meeting of the board of directors of The Merchants Exchange, held on October 20, 1910, the following memorial was adopted: "Senate constitutional amendment number one, to be voted on by the electors of the state of California, on November 8, 1910, contains the provision that the banks of the state of California shall pay an annual tax of one percent on their capital, surplus and undivided profits. "We find this taxation to be discriminatory in that the rate is much greater than that imposed on other corporations. "We fear that such discriminatory rate, if adopted, would work injuriously to the growth and development of our state, in that it would tend to diminish the amount of capital and surplus of our banks, and would diminish the amount of funds available abundant and cheap money which we now enjoy. Let us keep what money we have in California, and fervently pray for more, to the end that expanded industries or new enterprises may turn share just and equal taxes for the maintenance of our state and municipal governments. Let's not only vote no, but put our shoulders to the wheel and ask and write all of our friends to vote no, on constitutional amendment No. 1. In the final analysis, the borrower sustains the burden no matter in what form it comes. Yours for continued prosperity, G. X. Wendling. ODD QUERIES Is it cruel to strike an attitude? What is the best way to entertain an idea? How much older is a ripe old age than a green old age? Is Fletcherism any good when we bite off more than we can chew? Is it right to call a person who looks into the future a rubberneck? Can a person be said to have jumped for joy when his delight knew no bounds? Consumption Can Be Cured A specific has at last been discovered which will positively cure consumption. "Tuberclecide" completely eliminates the tuberculosis germs from the human body. Results are extremely prompt. Even in severe cases, the tubercle bacilli have been entirely destroyed within eight months. In others marked improvements have been noted within two to six weeks. This improvement continues until complete cure is effected. We have positive proof of our success. Write for full particulars. Tuberclecide Co., 702 International CROPS ARE OUT OF SIGHT Bountous Harvests Reported From Over State The following bulletin is based on special reports by reliable authorities from various counties, covering almost every section of the state: Crops generally have been good and farmers and fruitgrowers are well satisfied with the season's results. Citrus fruit shipments for 1909-1910 are about over, and the movement of the new crop has already begun, being some two weeks earlier than usual. Deciduous fruit shipments are somewhat less than at same date of last year, but apples and grapes will keep the total up to the mark. Sugar beets are giving good returns, both as to yield and saccharine content. The bean crop has come up pretty well to expectations and in some places is above the record. The demand for beef, mutton and pork exceeds the supply. Dairy and poultry industries are all thriving, yet the production is still far short of the consumption. The cotton crop of Imperial is yielding beyond expectation, many tracts making one and a half and two bales to the acre. The fibre is excellent and commanding top price. Six gins are actively at work. Oil and mining developments continue reasonably active. The Noble electric steel company are preparing to install five new furnaces at Heroult. In every quarter public and private construction is going actively on and new enterprises are being inaugurated. The influx of homeseekers is large and increasing, and many new colonization enterprises are being inaugurated. The tourist travel is also very large, taxing the capacity of the transportation companies. "We find this taxation to be discriminatory in that the rate is much greater than that imposed on other corporations. "We fear that such discriminatory rate, if adopted, would work injuriously to the growth and development of our state, in that it would tend to diminish the amount of capital and surplus of our banks, and would diminish the amount of funds available for such development. "The state of California, with its large area and great and varied interests, must almost entirely depend upon capital within its own boundaries, and any law that will tend to restrict the amount of this capital would be injurious to the state, its interests and industries, and the welfare of its people. "For the foregoing reasons, the board of directors of the Merchants exchange disapproves of senate constitutional amendment number one, and recommends to the members of the merchants exchange and to the electors of the state of California that they vote against said amendment. T. C. Friedlander, secretary." Another broadside against this bad amendment is from the north, and cities objections from the standpoint of the borrowers. It is a little late, but it's good. It reads as follows: Editor Gazette.—Money is a sensitive commodity and its possessor in large or small quantities is extremely careful about parting with it, unless a fair earning and a safe return of the principal is assured. Whatever tends to make money scarce naturally results in making money dear, hence levying special taxes on capital-surplus-and-undivided profits of banks, would in all probability tend to the distribution of undivided profits and surplus, and in many cases operate to reduce capital in order that it would escape special taxation. Why? Because we must expect bankers to act as we would proceed under similar conditions, and when laws are enacted in any state laying special taxes on any industry, and especially money, the industry of money will naturally seek relief, by hunting investment elsewhere. What is the answer? Money would no doubt seek relief by operating under the more favorable laws of other states because free of special taxation, if amendment No. 1 should pass. And while some of the very large corporations favor this amendment, its passage is viewed as seriously adverse. The Noble electric steel company are preparing to install five new furnaces at Heroult. In every quarter public and private construction is going actively on and new enterprises are being inaugurated. The influx of homeseekers is large and increasing, and many new colonization enterprises are being inaugurated. The tourist travel is also very large, taxing the capacity of the transportation companies. As an indication of general conditions it may be stated that bank clearings reported to the California developing board from seven of the clearing house cities of the state show an increase for October of 21 per cent over October, 1909. Eight hundred and ninety-three new registrations of motor vehicles were made with the secretary of state during the month of September. Let your eyes smile through Hartfield's glasses.
