In the Febrnary number of St."Nicholas is a delightful article by Christine Ter- hune Herrick entitled “The Gibson Boy.” It is illustrated with paper cuttings, and these are the work of Charles Dana Gibson, done when he was a mere child.

Number of Men in Each Arm of the Service. \ Recent returns of the strength of the British Army at home and abroad, ex- clusive of the Indian Native Army and the forces raised by colonial authorities, show that there are in round numbers 221,000 officers and men actually serving, and en- tirely exclusive of the reserve. This' total allows about 1300 to the three regiments of housebiold cavalry; 18,500 to the 28 regiments of dragoon guards, dra- of American young womanhood; but it §r~ox\>, hussars and lancers; more than 37,- 0 to 21 horse batteries, 87 field batteries, A BIRD, A RABBIT, A THE FREE PUBLIC MARKET Edward F. Adams of ‘Highland Grange Discusses Tts Benefits, THREE STRONG REASONS FOR IT. Commission Merchants Often Sell to Themselves at Prices to Suit Themselves. - Edward F. Adams of Wrights, who was appointed first by Highland Grange in Santa Clara County and subsequently by the California Fruit Exchange to confer with the Harbor Cominissioners relativé to the free public market, was in the City yesterday. He is heartily in favor of the proposed measure, and believes that it will prove satisiactory to the shipperas well as the consumer. ~Spesking to a CALL re- vorter on this subject he said: Regarding the proposed market there are two entirely distinct propositions involved, havingonly a slight chance connection. Upon the one hand the. Merchants’ Association de- sires the establishment of a serfes of free retail markets, scattered over the City on the Eastern plan. Upon the other the producers living at & distance from-the’ City desire & regulated wholesale market on the water front. The fact that when the Merchants’ Association took upthe matter 1t found us dealing with the Harbor Commission, and also the fact that an overflow from the wholesale market would afford the oplmnunuy atsmall expense for an extpl:mmoau {ree market, brought us to- gether. The Merchants’ Association, also, is a broad- auge institution, having regard to the general iterests of both City and State. Tt {ully recog- nizes the importance of our movement, and lends its agd 1o it. Asitis well organized and effective, ] am seeking -10 have it assume the leadership in the entiré enterprise, both for the wholesale and retail markets. . " There are three reasons for a wholesale mar- ket: First, a desire for the most economical method of marketing; second, quantity of per- ishable prodncts shipped to this City; third, ROOSTER AND A DOG. {Reproduced from St. Nicholas.] seems a long way back from then to the quaint products of the artist’s childish skill.”” About twenty-five vearsago, while young Gibson was ill in Boston, his father, | to amuse him, began cutting outof paper with a pair of scissors figures of dogs; | horses and cows. The lad soon found that | ke, to uld make pictures, and the little | fingers were soon busy turning out silhou- t thing * that attracted his | childish fancy. He became as skilliul | with the scissors as many an artist is with his brush. * He showed no desire to draw, s ver, “and of all who marveled at his of picture-making, and wondered | what would come of it, probably no one imagzined that in later life he would wina brilliant reputation with his pencil.

[Reprodueed from St. Nicholas.] The liitle fellow did not shift the shears, in cutting, but held them stationary ard moved the paper. He carried the scissors about with him hung by a string around his neck. He notonly cut out figures, but illustrated ideas. For instance, he would show a dog, with spectacles perched on its nose, riding a pony. Then a procession files before him, a bitd in front holding out a hat for contributions, a rabbit whose The Two Bunnies. [Reproduced from St. Nicholas.) long ears flap from under his drum major’s bearskin, a helmeted rooster bearing a banner, and, last in the line, a:dog dressed like an old woman, wearing an apron and a bonnet, and carrying a broom. The greater part of these cuitings was done be- tween the age of 8 and 12 years. Some- times he would produce a mounted Indian on the warpath, or rabbits leaping through PR at the Cape and Natal; 3000 at Hongkong; 4500 in Egypt, and the residue is scattered over the West Indies, Bermuda, Nova Scotia, Mauritius,Ceylon, the Straits Settle- ments and otber places, some of which, like St. Helena, have the service of but very small bodies of the imperial troops. The Canadian Dominion has only about 1400 of the Queen’s forces, Australia. none at all, and the recent dispatch of men to the African West Coast has only added about 1000 soldiers to the ordinary strength in thatpart of the empire. India remains the great absorbent of the regular forces abroad, and at the beginning of this month there were in the four great commands of the Punjab, Bengal, Madras and Bom- bay, mine regiments of cavalry, eighty- eight batteries and companies of artillery, ana fiity-three battalions of infantry. The Bengal command still takes up the-largest portion of the British troops in India, hav- ing some 24,000, and the new command of the Punjab comes next with 20,000, and of the two other commands Bumbui has about 1000 more men than Madras, thelat- ter including Burmah.—Edinhurgfx Scots- man. ————— Experiments dre being made in Orlando Fla., in raising. canaigre, a plant whose root is rich in tannic acid, and will be use- ful as tanbark grows more scarce. > e Somehow it always gives us an odd sen- sation to hear a boy uunder 10 say “Thank (y;out".' without being prompted.—Atchison Hobe. THE -MOUNTED INDIAN ON THE WARPATH. (Begroduced from St HNicholas} forces; | the removal of some existing abuses. We start with the general proposition that the water front is the place where the City and country ought to deal together. The producers should own the goods until they resch the water iront, and when they come inside of it they should be the property 6f somebody else who hes put his money into them. There is the saving of cartage, the saving of rent, and the concentration of business to the convenience of both buyers and sellers, allin the interests of economy. 3 In regard to the second proposition, San Francisco is now lergely supplied by cull fruit | which ‘will not bear the expense of Eastern | transportation. This is not altogether true, Canneries will not buy cull fruit, end much of | that which we call cullsis of the very best of | fruit, but too ripe for a- fen-day journey. ‘The | greatest evil is its miserablé method of pack- ing, unfitting it for family use. It is my belief that a concentratien of this evil, together with the market organization and the suggestions and efforts of the inspector, will result in the introduetion of some new small, neat and con- venient packages wiich will get the fruit to the tabies of the consumers in something of its original freshness. The natural emulation among growers resulting from the daily exhi- bition of their fruit side by side will tend to bring this ebout. This will be good ‘tor con- sumers, for they will get better stuff, and it | will be good for producers, for they will sell more of {t. I thirk our home market the best, | and we have never half worked it. | . What are the abuses complained of? In the first place, commission merchants do both & commission and private trade. This some- | times results in sales of produce by agents to themselves at prices fixed by themselves, the | owner supposing it to have been sold to_third | parties. is practice is the foundation and | excuse of all the evils complained of except | downright steeling by false returns, which is unquestipnebly done sometimes by disreputa- ble men who are liable to creep into any busi- ness. Then there are more or less fctual frauds every year when rascals succeed in get- ting consighments and decamp with the entire proceeds. The result of .he system as it now exists is a belief on the part of the growers | genemllg in theentire rottenness of the com- miseion business in this City. This belief is not justified by the facts, but it exists, and we wish 1o remove the conditions which-lead to it. It is not my intention to dispense with com- missfon men. Nobody who understands: the business would eithier expect or desire it. The stuff must be soid by somebody, and for the most part, upon eight to thirty days’ credit, We want it sold by responsible people who un- | derstand the business and who are prepared for proper pay to take the 1abor ang risk of collections. The growers have no organization effective enough to market the material, and if they had it would cost thousands and thou- sands of dollars to educate their agents, How do I expect the market to correct the abuses? Simply by the fact that the market being on State property; tne Harbor Commis- sioners may prescribe the regulations under which business may be done there. These would simplly be buch as to insure that no trading should be done: within the wholesale market, except for aceount. ofi-owners, or by the owners themselves, and that every trans- action should be & public record. This, with an inspector to see the regulation enforced, and perform sundry other duties implied by the name, is, in my jpdgment, u!{)t‘hut is necessary to make San Francisco the most at- tractive market in the ceuntry to the fruit- growers. And that is what both City and country need. As it nowstands few producers deal here if they can help it. To repeat, we desire the commission egents to go down on the wharf and sell our goods for us anda give us all the Teceipts, less charges. What business they do on their.own account is none of our affair, but we don't want the two businesses mixed up. What special difficulties are in the way? The most serious difficuity is the change of point of delivery of the Southern Pacific broad- gauge lines from King and Townsend streets to section 4 of the seawall. This involves a very Serionsan‘flblem for the railroad to consider. It wouid seem simple, but it is not. It.would cause them a good deal of initial expense. So far as I can understand it, however, I think the expense to them would be far less than the gein to the community. The immense volume of fruit now landed at King and Townsend streets now has to bear a mile or more of rougn cartage, which is in- jurious to the fruitand costs the growers about $20 per car. The usual charge is 2 cents per crate, or $1 66 per ton, although other freight is moved, I understand, at about 50 cents per ton over the same route. I haye conversed with some officials of the comipany, and théy fully appreciate the importance of the matter and are approaching the subject in a epirit which promises a satisfactory.solution. There are other difficulties of the same nature, but far less serious, in connection with river steam- ers now discharging at other wharves. None of the difficulties, however, are insuperable. Another matter is the question of available room. Until the tonnage during the three most congested months has been computed we cannot estimate the room required. This, however, is certainly a matter that can be managed by the Harbor Commissioners within a little time, if not at first. 1f public convenience requires it a T wharf can be ex- tended from section 4 to accommodate all the steam traffic, leaving the present shed en- tirely free for that coming by rail. President Colnon expressed nimself to'me as favorable 10 that proposition should the traffic demandt. What further steps_are to be taken in re. ard to the matter? Well, the first thing is a. formal conference between the Harbor Com- missioners and a committee appointed for the purpose by the Merchants’ Association, at which all legal and other questions involved will be aiscussed and. the place spparently most feasible determined. v Next the jonnage to be handled daily during the busy season is to be estimated and the ques- tion of available room and convenience oi de- Hvery considered. We shall then kiow the essential elements involyed in the problem. There will then be called & public meeting to which will be specially in’ & few of the largest producers, representatives of producers’ organizations, representatives of the transpor- tation interests, and others presumed to have | speciel knowledge of the subject, or interests init. The general public will alco be invited, and any one who has anything to offer, pro or con, will have the orpomm ty to do-so. At the close of that meeting the public will be fully advised as to all the essential factors in the case and will proceed to exercise its com- mon-sense. ? If & market is found to be desirable and feas- ible a way will doubtless’ be found to get one. If found undesirable or impraeticable it will be dropped. None of those actively engaged in theml):uvemem are as yet definitel: em:t nves| mitted to un;thlng except a thorough ation. With my present information the € ject looks to me desirable, feasible ana likely to be accomplished, but further study m:fi show that I am mistaken, in which case I sh of course change my opinion. I think thatis the attitude o% sll of us who are at work’ upon it. Charles Kohler’'s Estate. Hans Kohler, as executor of the estate of Charles Kohler, has filed his first account. | He has received $16,712 93 and e nas ex- pended 875 37, leaving o balance of $15,. 9 56. There are thirty-seven claims against the estate, as Kmflng 56,844 96)5. Of this amount g 7614 is represented by cluims of “the firm of Kohler & Frohling, of which' Hens Kohler was a_member. Further claims amounting to $50,542 20 hayve been resented and allowed against the estate. The 1Dul value of Kohler’s property is not men- tioned. MASKED MERRYMAKERS. A Night of Gayest Revelry and Mirth- ful Glee Enjoyed at Sara- Y toga Hall. Shepherdesses piloted about by rollick- ing Jack Tars, monks playing the gallant to pagan goddesses, and gentle nuns whirl- ingabour in the giddy'dance with caper- ing imps, such was the wild, gay scene of revelry at Saratoga Hall last night. The Dania Vereins,, Nos. 1 and 2, had united with the Norden Verein in giving a grana annual masquerade ball, and the combined efforts of the members resulted in a bril- liant and most enjovable affair. The hall was draped with flags, hang- ings of colored cheese-cloth and garlands of flowers and evergreens, while on the stage, half hidden. by the potted trees, Soeby's orchestra discoursed sweet strains which made the willing feet move by themselves. & The success of the affair was due in reat measure to the abledirection of the oor manager, Halvor Jacobsen and his efficient aid, " H. eilsen, The floor committee was composed of J. A. Soren- sen, C. Neilsen, Ni C. Nelson, J. 0. Nybye, W. Wilson and H. Hansen. The re- ception committee had as its constituents N. P. Holtum, N. J. Nelson, P. Iversen, C. P. Skov, W. Rasmussen and H. Ravn, and the committee on arrangements consisted of C. M. Beck, J. A.Sorensen, W. Rhode, H. R. Wilson, N. C. Nelson, I. Soeby, H. P. Petersen, C. Nelson and O. Christensen. After the unmasking at midnight danc- ing was resumed, continuing until nearly dawn. The Cotton Industry of United States in Great Danger. the Manufacturers in Japan Will Soon Flood the Market With Cheap Labor Products. The special joint committee from the Manufacturers and Producers Associa- tion and the Chamber of Commerce, mak- ing an investigation of the dangers arising from the importation of products of cheap Japanese labor, are not letting the grass grow under their feet. Reporis have'been sidered the case of such importance that the committeemen were instructed to carry out the suggestions mide in their report. One was that a general meeting of both organizations and all others inter- ested be ealled with the view of presenting a memorial to Congress to make an official investigation and provide for such pro- tection as the case demands. No time has been lost by the joint committee, which has issued the following call to hundreds of citizens of this locality: To the Manufacturcrs and Producers’ Assoeia- tion of California_and San._ Francisco Chamber of Commerce: On Friday, February 7, 1896, at 2 P. )., in_the rooms of the Chambeér of Com- merce, 58 Merchants’ Exchange, there will be & joint meeting of the members of the Manu- facturers and “Producers’ Association of Cali- fornia and of the Chamber of Commerce, for the purpose of considering the question of the “Japanese invasion of our manufacturing field” and taking such action as may be deemed wise and expedient. Addresses will be made by prominent per- sons, who are fully conversant with the sub- ject. Itis hoped ihat every member of these two bodies will be present and sake part in the discussion of this most important question. By order of the joint committee, HUGH CEAIG, Chairman. JULIAN SONNTAG, Secretary. At that meeting interesting addresses will probably be made by Julian Sonntag, William Ratherford, Hugh-Craig, who will preside, George H. Collins-and others. All of these gentlemen have been gather- ing data updn the subject of American laborers competing with the seven-doilar- a-month coolies of Japan, and the Ameri- can manufacturers competing with those of Japan. Much of the information they léave obtained has been published in Tue ALL. Some new and important information will kG presented that they have not had the opportunity of securing before, bear- ing upon the manufacture of cotton goods by the Japanese for the American markets at prices that will, if not checked, close every cotton-mill in the United States. The information eomes from no less an au- thority than Colonel John A. Cockerill, special correspondent for the New York Terald. _ Colonel Cockerill is mow in Tokio, Japan, and, in a recent letter to his paper, he sounds the alarm of a danger that threatens the cotton industry of the entire United States. January 3, he says: A. H. Butler, & California capitalist, who has successfully ‘‘promoted” & waich company in Osaka, and who has been trying for some time to induce the ‘Japanese Government to estab- lish & line of steamers between Osaka, Yoko- hema and Salina Crugz, on the west coast of Mexico, has been comgefiled to give up his project, temporarily at least. Mr. Butler, some time ago, made a comvination of cotton goods manufacturers in Osaka, which is now known as the Japan Cotton Trading Company. Itwas in the interest of these manufacturers that he roposed to establish the line of steamers re- erred to, his theory being that cotton could be taken from our Gulf States from Galveston to Coatzacoalcos, the eastern' terminus of the Tehuantepec Railway, carried across the isth- mus and thence by steamer to Japan, at a much less cost than by the way of Liverpool and the Suez. The Mexican Government was greatly inter- ested in the enterprise and was willing to afford all facilities, The Tehuantepec Railway is 180 miles in length and is now open (o traflic. Mr. Butler being interested in the Tepustete iron mine, some forty miles south of San Diego and directly on the coast, hoped to be able to introduce this high quality of iron in Japan incidentally in connection with his subsidized line of steamers. But the Japanese have 1aany projects en hand and they are 5renly taken up now with their proposed irect line of freight and passenger steamers between Yokohama, Kobe, Nagasaki and Lon- don. As for iron, they insist that they have all they. want at home. As a matter of fact they have not as yet developed any iron de- posits of & high character, though the country may be full of it. b Last summer Mr. Butler went to the United States to investigate the cotton business. He found that the railways of Texas would charge him 65 cents per hundred for hauling cotton from San Antonio or the interior to Galveston., To ship from there to the Gulf terminus of the Tehuantepec Railway would add another heavy charge, and at this point he was forced to drop the matter. He, however, secured a rate with the railways reaching San Francisco from the cotton beii, which he thinks will enable him to begin .m%pmf American cotton 10 Japan by the established lines. He has con- tracts with forty-two manufacturers in Japan who will take only American cotton from him, and he will begin with a monthly shipment o something over 4000 bales. He expects soon to run m{s up to 5000 a month, and he hopes to double this shipmentin the course of a year. He will-be able to place American cotton at the door of the Jaj manujacturer at so?m- thing lHke 20 cents & pound, and he predicts th.ntsrom this time forward not & bale of our cotton will reach-Japan by way of Luerpwl. The Japanese will still”continue to be con- sumers of li uantities of India cotton, mixing its short fi with the American sta~ le, and henceforth urning duta betterqual- Pty of goods. The manufacturers here expect to place their gheeti _ahd prints in the American market, and they will certainly do so unless sprevented by the tariff. As to the line of steamers between Japan and some port of the Americsn coast that will probably come ‘when the Japal areable to build all of their own ships at home. Whileon_ this subject it ma; mentioned that the Mitsu Bishi ship- building concern of Nagasaki—a Japanese or- ganisation -hes Just taken s contiact to batld 8 7500-ton merchant vessel for the Nippon Yusen Kaisha people. The Mitsu Bishi people pm’you toduplicate the ships, five in number, hich the compaily has recently ordered in England. They have never built a vessel of nfc% tonnage, but they are willing to lose 100,000 yen or so for the sake of the experience end 1n theway of patriotism.

Colonel Cockerill’s letter will add great strength to the argument to be pre- sented urging Congress to take immediate steps in the matter. Many of the people in the East have viewed the recent anti- Japanese agitation of the West with much suspicion, and several papers on the other side of the continent have intimated that the danger was more imaginary than real. Those who are interested in the local agitation believe that the Japanese under- taking to absorb the cotton industry will alarm those -in the Eastern, Middle and Southern States who are now engaged in the manufacture of cotton goods, and that California’s demand for protection will be ‘seconded by those in those sections. 3 Another matter of no small sonsideration is the fact that theré is an apparant desire |- of uvoidlng American railways in the shipping of the raw material to Japan. Mexico is another country whére labor and fuel are cheap, ana the ¢cost of trans- portation of freight across Mexico would necessarily be less-than where the men get higher wages. The completion of the Nicaragua canal will further cheapen the cost of ahipgieuz the raw cotton to Japan. It can then be loaded on vessels and sent to Japan direct- without the expense of twice handling, as would be necessary in sending by water, rail and then by water again. Every reduction in the cost of the raw material would permit a correspond- ing reduction in the price of the manufac- tured goods when returned to the Ameri- can market. : ‘ The sub;ect of cheap cotton goods will form one of the chief matters for discussion at the coming mass-meeting. —_— NEW TO-DA The Fashionable Musical Event!- THE ONLY SEASON OF GRAND OPERA THIS YEAR MONDAY), FEBRUARY 3.
