W. E. Bouton, who has Leid the position of secretary of the Liberty Cycling Club for the past two years, has resigned his | office, owing to press of business. Frank | Thrali has been appointed secretary pro | tem. until the next recular election of the club, which wiil be heid on Tuesday, March .12. The GGarden City Cyclers will hold a fiv mile handicap road race next Sunda over a new course which they have re- cently chosen, from Morgzan Hill"to San Martine, Santa Clara County. The start- ing-point is about twenty-one miles south of 8an Jose. In thisrace Otto Ziegler Jr. will ride from the scratch mark, paced by tandems, and as the course is perfectly straizght, smooth and level, he hopes ito reduce Hamlin’s world’s five-mile road rec- ord of 11:11 2-5.

LIf it is expedi- ent to make a fast run and you come home in a great state of perspiration do not take a cold bath; dry the body well and bathe in lukewarm water, afterward refreshing yourself with a_cold shower bath. And, are riding.” The regular meeting of the Imperial Cy- cling Club will be held next Monday evening. The Olympic Club will have a club run to Redwood City to-morrow. The mem- | bers will take the 10:45 train to Millpbrae, wheeling the balance of the distance. An easy pace, smooth roadsand a good dinner at Redwood are assured. The run will be were admitted every night at half price on presentation of their membership cards, and those who took advantage of this privilege saved themselves 25 cents each time they attended the races. Asa year's dues in’ the league only costs $I, the economy of a' membership in the organiza- tion is as once apparent. % % D. R. McNeill is going to build a six-la board track in Central Park for the wheel- men of this City, and the Bay City Wheel- men have already negotiated with him for the use of it on Decoration day, May 30, when they will hold a big race meeting. SPALDING. peai e THE BOXERS. All About Green, Ryan, Corbett and Fitzsimmons—Skull Protectors. The National Athletic Club has an- nounced that its next fistic exhibition will be held in April and that the stars of the evening will be George Green, the boxer who defeated Danny Needham at the | Auditorium last month, and Tommy Ryan, the Chicago weiter-weight, who was defeated a few evenings ago by “Kid” McCoy before the Empire Athletic Club of Long Island, N. Y. According to the latest news from the ring side. it appears that Ryan was not in as good condition as he might have been, and besides, he met an opponent who handicapped him several pounds in weigit. McCoy, however, proved to be a tolerably clever and game fellow, and also a heavy puncher. Commenting on the match, this is what the New York Sun says: “Ryan was a GEORGE TANTAU, OLYMPIC CLUB WHEELMEN. in charge of Captain Fawcett and Lieuten- | ants Berges and Piagemann. The laiest news about Arthur Zim»‘ merman, the worid’s champion cyclist, is that he will edit the cycling columns of | the New York World, and every one is wondering whether he will make as good He, has never | bown any taste for literary work, or abil- either. | e Camera Club Cyclists will tour to | San Jose to-morrow, leaving on the 8:45 narrow-gauge boat for Alameda. Aiter | luncheon at San Jose the cyciists will visit Alum R Cany where those who take their canieras can get some pretty views. The return home will be de by steamer from Alviso, leaving that point at 7 . M.. or those who wish can take | the train at San Jose. Captain Argenti assures an easy pace, and expects a large number to make the run. The San Francisco Road Club is growing | { rapidly in membership, seventeen new ap- | plicants having been admitted at the last | meeting. The racing men of the club | showed up particularly well at the recent | ndoor tournament and gave the club a | tanding in that branch of the sport. Last Saturday evening after the races the club | pave a banquet to some of the visiting | { members of the Petaluma Wheelmen and San Jose Road Club who were its guests. Captain Pixley acted as toastmaster, and a very jolly time was had. The Liberty Cycling Club will have a | run to Centerville to-morrow, taking the 9 A. M. broad-gauge boat. A committee of three, consisting of W. E. Bouton, J. Mc- Laughlin and W. Beattie, has been ap- pointed to arrange for a five-mile road race from San Leandro to Haywards on 0. tern cycling paper tells of a queer race which was run in South Africa a few | zo. For some time the question of | peed of an ostrich has been the sub- | ject of considerable discussion, and a | noted cyclist there determined 1o test his | speed against the powerful bird. A smooth course was selected and the chase began. | The wheelman drove the pedals around with great velocity and came abreast of | the bird. No sooner did it perceive the | man than it started at a headlong gait, and | although the rider was covering ground at | a two-minute clip, the ostrich quickly dis- tanced him. The Bay City Wheelmen will hold a ten- | mile road race a week from to-morrow. Some of the entrants will be Wells, Lon, the Terrills, Hall, Vincent, Day. Reid, Menne, Languetin, Freeman, McKay and Goddard. To-morrow & joint runof the Imperial Cycling Club of ths City and the Santa Rosa Wheelmen will be held at Santa Rosa. The members of the local. club will take the 7:30 Tiburon ferry and the | there. Since the upper crust of society adopted | the wheel, says a prominent dealer, there | has been little hesitancy on the part of the | middle class to fail in line with the gene- | ral procession. Rich and poor alike enjoy the exhilirating pastime. It isa sure road to health and strength. An insight to nafure can be had in no better way than | on the seat of a bicycle. It affords the laboring classes an ugponuuixy of reach- g their places of labor without the daily expenditure of from 10 to 20 cents in car- fare, and this little sum will grow into hundreds in years, and those hundreds will build a home. While the rich use the wheel for recreation, the less fortunate mortals use it for business as well as pleasure. 3 The Adeline Cycle Club of Adeline sta- tion, Oakland, was organized last Sunday with a charter membership of thirty. | Clnbrooms have been secured and a bil- | liard-room, bowling alley and handball court will be part of the accouterments. The following officers were elected for the fi ty, president; Miss M. 4 dent; Miss G. Perkins, manacer; H. Hansen, Mitehell, sergeant-at- s C. ns desiring application blanks or information regarcing the League of Amer- ican Wheelmen will be furnished the same by sending a postal request to the cycling editor of 1HE CALL. The North California Division, League of American Wheelmen, now has 1209 mem- bers, the last bulletin showing an increase of ninety-nine in one week. During the re- cent indoor tournament league members strong favorite at 2 to 1 when the match as made; the sports predicted that Mec- Joy would certainly be defeated, but those familiar with Ryan said that he was nota game fellow, and could. not undergo pun ishment without quitting.” *‘Why,” saic a club man once when he had Ryan booked for a fight, “‘he is the hardest man in the world to get in the ring. Heis like a rat, for you have to corner him before you can m him fight.” When he did fight he was all there and the sporting men never let slip any opportunity to see him meas- ure his speed against some other man, and that is why a big crowd journeyed.to Mas- peth, L. L, last night in the face of a nasty wind storm. It was a punching match from the call of time. McCoy astonished the crowd by the ease with which he unched and got awa Most of the time Bshio he o G s ne enough to avoid his opponent. “McCoy assumed the lead and the aggre: sive from the start, and after he had struc Ryan as he pleased for eleven rounds he forced him entirely on the defens No one had doubted the result after the eighth round. One minute and fifty-four seconds of the fifteenth had gone by when McCoy crossed Ryan with a right and left punch on the jaw. Ryan dropped to the fioor anda was counted out. McCoy now has an excellent claim to the welter-weight cham- pionship of the world, and no doubt Ryan regrets having separated from his old manager, Parson Davies. Lnrri; Burns and Jack Downey fought an eight-round preliminary, which the referee, Tim Hurst, decided a draw."” 8o far as George Green is concerned Ryan will find the Californian as game as a Mongolian pheasant and as clever as any of the boxers of the present day. Green stands an excellent chance of whipping the Chicago welter-weight, but it cau be safely said, however, that a contest between men of the caliber of Green and Ryan should prove very interesting and well worth zoing a long distance to see. It is to be hoped that the Naticnal Club wili secure this match. As a precaution against possible acci- dents it has been suggested that the man- agers of the Nationel Club place padding on the floor so as to softly receive the skull of any representative of the awkward box- ing squad who may fall like the great Mc- Goldrich of Los Angeles on Thursd: evening last, when he lost his equilibrium owing to a failure on his part to protect his chin from attack. A hint to the wise in this respect should prove sufficient. A fallupon a hard floor is frequently at- tended with serious results, especiall wten a knock-out blow is administered. The following article concerning Cor- bett, Fitzsimmons et al. appearea in the New York Sun, and some good, sound argumerts are produced in it to prove that Corbett is a petter man as a fighter than | Fitzsimmons: James J. Corbett, it is stated on excellent authority, is trying to arrange his Western irip so thit he can return East for the purpose of having a businesslike talk with Robert Fitz- simmons. Corbett has made several mistakes in his lifetime, and one was made on the night | when he turned over the world’s heavy-weight championship to Peter saher. He reslizes that it was foolish to take that step, but his most intimate friend explains the situation in this wi “Corbett is mot only a boxer, but Lie is also a business man. He is willing to vield to any demands within reason that m: be made on his time to the neglect of his bus! ness, but he does not propose to ruin his money-making ability as an actor. Last year Corpeit exhausted several months getting ready for Fitzsimmions,and every man who knows anything about boxing krows that Jim was not only 1n conditipn, but was anxious to settlo the question of the champloaship. Win orlose, he wanted the case decided. He ex- cted o win, but he viewed the fight in the ight that it would be better to lose than have this tiresome rivalry continue. When the year opened Corbett had made all Tangements to go on the road; his company had been signed ana his route laid out. For him to default et the last moment meant the loss of alarge sum of money, and besides he would sustain a loss to his business reputation it he breke his engagements. His friends ad- vised hini to give up the championship for the reason that if he fought Maher and won he would have to fight Fitzsimmons, thus making two fights, and on the other hand if he fought Fitz with the opening of the new year he would have Maher following him about for the re- mainder of 1896. To-day he has only one man to fight, and that is Fitzsimmons. Fitz must fight him, or Corbett-naturally becomes the holder of the championship. Let me say right bere that there is not a cowardly bone in Ji Corbett's body, ‘and he does not deserve the abuse that has heen showered upon him so unstintedly. Compare his record with that of | Fitzsimmons!_corbett never 1atd down for $35. The most creditabie fight of his life was lgl st Peter Jackson, and yet there is a man :1 $ l?ob Fitzsinmons has said he couid not lefeat. The only chance that Fitz has to defeat Cor- bettis by a chence blow, and I think that is not & very big one. Corbett does not shrink from it, and it may interest the public to know that Corbett last fall trained up to the best condition of his life. Of course he was two years older than when he fought Mitchell. He had deteriorated pernaps#l0 per cent, but he was 40 per cent better than Joe Choynski when Joe narrovly missed besting Fitzsimmons at Boston. Another thing not generally known is that Corbett has a new punch that is an im- provement on the celebrated Fitzsimmons punen. It is the surest, most accurate blow im has ever tried, and in practice it has never et failed to work. Much has been said against Corbett's health, and I desire to say that, whiie he has been sick at times, he is reéally in first- class health. Last summer and fall he had trouble with his knee, but that was conquersd. His stomach never r¢quired more than two or three days to get in good condition. Those who are willing to’ back him have not the slightest cause for alarm, and you have only to ask one of his backers to know how they feel regardiig him to get an expression of satisfaction. The so-called dead-game sports who haunt barrooms, wear yellow diamonds and their best clothes at boxing shows don’t like Jim, aud they never wiil. What is more, he does not care for their friendship. Corbett has al- ways been square and honest in his dealings | with all men. He has been a_generous oppo- nent; he attends to his own affairs, and only -asks for the same treatment in return. Be- cause Bob Fitzsimmons has defeated Peter Maher twice, thatdoes not prove that he is a better man than Jim Corbett. There is con- siderable talk about Fitzsimmons making Corbett wait two years for a fight. Well sup- | pose that he did so. Corbett is the younger man and age is telling_on Fitzsimmons more than it is on Corbett. Both men have fought tneir best fights, but delay will be more serious 1o the Australian than to the American. As to the business Corbett is doing, I can say that since the late fight he is playing to more mouey than had been taken in since the year opened. e THE ANGLERS. Fly-Casters WIIl Practice at Stow Lake This Afternoon. The anglers of this City will be pleased to learn that the Fish Commissioners have had some of their deputies patrolling the streams which are within easy reach of the local fraternity. Last week the clerk of a prominent hotel at Glen Ellen was arrested by a deputy, who caught the poacher with trout in his | possession. The transgressor was taken before a justice, who fined him $5 and costs. The coin was handed over and now the resi- dents of Glen Ellen and vicinity who have a predilection for catching trout out of season are a bit careful that no strangers are about when they cast their lines. Two men were chased by a deputy of San Rafuel a few days ago who happened upon | “‘the anglers” when they were fishing the | headwaters of Lagunitas Creek. The deputy or constable was searching for poachers countered the fishermen. Game Warden Mogan discovered recently | a new scheme by which some professional fishermen who reside near Ager were ship- ping trout to this City. The fish were taken from the Klamath Riverand shipped in boxes which were labeled *‘wild rab- | bits.” The warden looked with suspicious eves upon this rather strange address, and | had the boxes opened ior inspection. They were shipped by G. Rogers of Ager to G. Berti of 120 Washington street and A. J. B. Immel of 119 Washington street. The consignees declined to accept the boxes from the express company, and con- sequently the Game Warden was power- less o arrest the merchants. | During the past month angling for steel- heads in the tide waters of the Russian | i River has been very gooa. John Butler and Mr. Denaldson returned from Dun- cans Mills last Tuesday with nine beauti-.| ful fish, that averaged from two pounds to | eleven pounds in weight. Several fish | were also taken from the Paper-mill Creek, near Point Reyes. | According to the appearance of the | weather a rainstorm is not far off. Con- sequently a rush of winter fishermen is expected to-day to various points fre- quented by the handlers ot salnon roe | and shrimp. John Gailagher, the champion angler of | Oakland, recently returned from Pesca- | dero, where he enjoyed severai days of | good fishing in the Pescadero lagoon. Among a party of anglers who enjoyed good fishing last Sunday near Point Reyes were Rod McMillan, John Benn, Al Smith, | Louis Rondean, J. McFarland and several | other disciples whose names could not be | ascertained. McMillan caught five fish, | but one of the number bad the appear-| ance of what is generally known among the winter anglers as a hookbill. *I con- | tend that the fish, notwithstanding its color, is a steelaead that has been in fresh water for some time,”” said General Baitu. | McMillan did not acquiese, however, but | argued that tbe fish belonged to the hook- bill variety. | “T agree with you, McMillan,” retorted | John Benn. “Any fish that is as brownas | this fellow must be game and a member of | the hookbill fami Yes, that's a hook- bill sure enough, Mc; can't you see,”” and | old Benn smiled blandly as he looked into the eyes of the handsome disciple of Wal- ton. The Fly-casting Club will meet this afternoon at Stow Lake for the purpose of | enjoying a little practice in casting. AN, Cheney, the State Fish Culturist of New York has issued the following circu- lar relative to the planting of fry, which should prove interesting reading to Dep- uty Fisb Commissioners: Brook, brown, rainbow and Loch Leven trout should be planted in small spring rivulets tributary to the larger intended to be stocked. From the rivulets they will work down as they gT0W into the main stream. Lake trout snould be planted among bowl- ders or rocks on a shoal in midlake very near to deep water, into which the young trout soon find their way. In the absence of such shoals with rocks to afford hiding-places for the young trout they may be planted on nat- ural spawning-beds, when they are known. In transporting young trout if tney come to the surface of the water in cans it is a sign of exhaustion, and the water should b frequently aerated by dipping it from the can in a dipper d hlt!zv, all into it again from a considerable It is safer to aerate the water placed in the cans at the hatchery than to add fresh water during the jo urney, the qualities of which are unknown. Should’the water in the cans be- come warm, the temperature should be reduced by the addition of ice broken into small pieces. If the water in the cans containing young trout should be warmer or colder than the water in the lake or stream at the time of planting the fish, the temperature should be equalized by mingling the two waters in the can before the fish are turned out as marked Ch‘ntge! in the temperature may kill the young trout. Fishcans ordinarily hold about 5000 trout fry, and not more than three cans of fry should be planted in one year in a stream from six to eight miles long, and the fry should be well distributed throughout the length of the stream by planting in rivulets, as previously stated, as by bunching the plant there is danger of exhausting the food suitable for the young fish. Fry or vearling fish should be planted as soon as received and never under any circum- stances kept over night without ~constant w-tcmm{’and aerating the water. Trout are sent out by the State in the spring or fall, as transportation during the hot months is at- tended with great risk. 3 Applicants for fish should so far as pos-T sible ascertain the kinds and quality of the fish food in the sireams they desire to plant. THE OARSMEN. South End Rowing Club’s Entertaln- ment—New Shells and Barges. The South End Rowing Club will hold its first reception in three years on Thurs- day evening, the 16th inst., at Native Sons’ Hall. The club will be assisted mainly by the Olympic Club Minstrels. A well arranged programme, chiefly musical, will take up the first two hours of the evening, to be followed by a reception and darce. The committee having the matter in hand consists of Messrs. J. E. Scully, John D. Mahoney, William J. O'Brien, James P. O’Shea, John A. Lenatan and Al Fritz. The South Ends are al<o making prepar- ations for a championship reaatta, to b held at El Campo on Decoration day, M':Hlao.. ! that. will who have been killing deer when he en- | e Stockton Athletic Association, Olymuics, Ariels, St. Mary’s College, Dol- phins, Pioneers and Alamedas are expect- ed.to take part. Joe Brennan, formerly” of the Ariel Club but now a member of the Farragut Club of Vallejo, is in the City and states that he will endeavor to get up a strong crew from Vallejo to row in the junior events at El Campo. The South Ends will hold a special meeting next Wednesday evening. Al Rodagers, the raceboat builder, has been awarded the contract for building the club | tAwo 1outx—igger skiffs, to be finished by il 1. he Ariel Boat Club'sentertainment and dance at Union-square Hall on April 7 promises to be a brilliant success. The principal professional talent of the City have volunteered their services, and the rowing fraternity will undoubtedly attend in a body. A new junior crew has been organized in the Pioneer Club, composed of the follow- ing men: W. Foley, stroke; W. Cook, afterwaist; F. Panow, forward waist; J. Hanley, bow and captain; and G. Fitz- simmons, coxswain. The South End senior barge crew, the candidates to represent California in the regattas of the North and East, will soon begin active training. Within the next two weks the Dolphin Club at North Beach will have selected its racing crews for the season. Many candidates for positions in the boats have been tried out, and Captain W. 0. Patch thinks he can select a crew ?rove worthy emulators of the crack South End crew. The Dolphins will all be bedecked in their new uniforms next Sunday and will rendezvous at Harbor View. The rowing fraternity will be pleased to learn that Bob Ellis, the crack rower of the Ariel Club, is rapidly recuperating from the accident he met with recently. Efforts are now being made to have the Columbia Boat Club of Oaklapd join the Pacific Athletic Association. SEHR GUN AND RIFLE. Contests That Will Be Held To-Mor- row Before the Butts and Traps. To-morrow the Gruetli Shooting Section will hold a prize shooting competition at Schuetzen Park, San Rafael, and the dis- tribution of prizes won at the butts will take place on the evening of the 19th inst. at 421 Post street. The California and Eintracht Schuetzen clubs will also put in an appearance to- morrow at the San Rafael ranges. Speaking of backing for targete, this is what Shooting and Fishing says: Get a piece of boiler-plate of suitable size and one-quarter of an inch thick and bore holes for screws. Fix it firmly on twd inches or more of solid hard-wood backing. Cut bottom and side pieces to project atout four inches from the face of the plate and cover them with two layers of tin. On the side pieces nail thin strips, leaving & space between in which the cardboard slides. Have it at least three inches from the plate, to prevent its being torn by spiatters. With this arrangement the fresh targets can be slid in from the top to replace the old ones; the lead will not fly and can be collected for melting, and if plenty of thick tin is used the sides will last a long while. Howard Black and C. Neuman killed 350 geese in one day’s shooting recently near Rio Vista. There wili be a number of trap-shooting contests held to-morrow at the Oakland Trotting Park. ST HANDBALL. Y = Programmes Arranged by the Pro- fessional Courts. The games announced for to-morrow, and which will be played at the San Francisco ball court on Howard street, are as follows: G. McDonald and R. Shea to play M. McNeil and P. Ryan; J. White and J. Collins to play R. Murphy and M. Edwards; J. Nels Hutchinson to play P. Kelly acd J. Al Pennoyerand J. Kearney to p! nolly and G. Hutchinson; P. Donnelly, the amateur champion, and J. Riordan to play J. Kiligallon and T. F. Bonnet; J. Harlow, the coast champion, and W. Williams to play J. C. Nealon and M. Diilon, the game to be the best three out of fiv: 21 aces. The mans < of the Union court have selected seve good teams from among the local pluvers, and good playing will certainly result to-morrow afternoon. By Basket-Ball. Basket-ball has become a very popular pastime with the members of the Young Men's Christian Association, and recently the Rushers, who held the championship, reorganized for the season, with the fol- lowing players: G. Kiarman (captain), E. Spacher, E. Fleischer, F. Shaw, W. Hassel, W. Mitch- ell, D. Hanrahan,; substitutes—R. Mar- chand, L. Eldridge, C. Kraiger. Much credit is due the popular and well- knowu manager, Fred Shaw, in gathering together the cream of basket-ball players, among whom_ may be mentioned Captain Klarman and E. Spacber, who are the best goal throwers on the coast. It is his in- tention to arrange series of games with the various other teams for a valuable trophy. Saaaibs s Coursing. The dogs that have been entered for a coursing meeting which will be held to- morrow at Ocean View will enter the slips in the following order: D. Tweedie’s White Rustic vs. Villa kenne Electrie, D.

Delafield, first vice-president; D. Hearfield, second vice-president; R. B. Hogue, third vice-president; A. Coates, fourth vice-president; Ben Clark secretary and treasurer. The association will com- mence its season of cricket in April and inmes will be held at Golden Gate Park, erkeley and at the Alameda grounds on Saturdays and Sundays. Clarke Wants a Pension. Alfred Clarke wants a pension. He has ap- plied to the Superior Court for a writ of man- date. compelling the Police Commissioners to pay him from pension fund an amount suited to the rank he held prior to his resiguation from the force in 1888, He says he was on the force from December, 1858, to January, 1888, and he Iast held the position of clerk to the Chief of Police,at a salary of $150 a month.

AT MR. TILTON'S OWN RISK. The Work Will Go Ahead in Spite of the City and County At- torney’s Opinion. If City and County Surveyor Tilton cares to go ahead and make the survey and the Park property-owners and then look to the courts for his compensation heis at | liberty to do so. The matter came up before the Judiciary Committee of the Board of Supervisors yesterday, a number of the property- | owners being present to urge the matter. Some time ago when the board was petitioned to do do the work at an expense of $11,000 the opinion of City and County Attorney Creswell was atked as to the legality of the Surveyor charging anything for the work outside his regular salary. The answer was in substance that under the law the $500 per year salary received by Mr. Tilton was all he was entitled to. This aroused the property-owners to ask the opinion of other attorneys who fur- ‘nished opinions that the survey wasa legal charge against the City and the result was yesterday’s argument. Edward Ewald addressed the committee on the great necessity of establishing grades so that ‘a sewer system might be putin. He said that in the present con- dition of the tract not only the property but the lives of the residents were in dan- ger, owing tothe manner in which the win- ter rains accumulated in the lower places during the summer months. The winter | rains, he said, sometimes made the houses | so daugerous from washing under the foundations that Yne ocupants were afraid to stay in them. He declared thatthe laws quoted by Mr. Creswell, in his opin- ion, had been declared unconstitutional by thie Supreme Court, and intimated that ueless the board granted the request of the vroperty-owners to have the work done by Mr. Tilton as City Surveyor suits would be brought to compel them to do 0. Mr. Ewald also intimated that Mayor Sutro was opposed to the work because he wanted all the improvements made on the north side, in which he was more inter- ested. Mayor Sutro then opposed the proposed would be a waste of money to survey the tract and establisn grades” in the present condition of the district because of the shifting sands. He declared that the first thing to do was to plant grass and shrubs on the sandhills so that they would be- come stationary and not shift over the siakes and monuments as fast as they | were placed, Mr. Ewald explained that the district | which was to be surveyed did not contain | shifting sand, and that the larger portion | was aiready covered with grassand shrubs. The motion to recommend the authoriz- | ing of the Surveyor to go abead with the | work was passed unanimously. | A LUXURIOUS MONGOL. Rides in a Pullman, Eats Big Dinners and Insists on Going Back to China. United States Marshal Frank Morrell of Wiiliams, Ariz., arrived here yesterday in | charge of a Chinese woman 75 years old, | who is to be sent back to China in default | of the usual certificate allowing her to re- | wain. It is a singular case and the Gov- | ernment has been trying for a vearanaa half past to avoid the expense of deporta- tion. The elderly Crinese woman, how- ever, who was discovered on this side of | the Mexican border, has been determined | that the deportation law of this country shall be carried into effect. She wants to go home to die, and as she realizes she cannot live much longer, and doesn’t want to spare any of her own money, she insists that Uncle Sum pay | her expenses home. On the train from the southshe occupied a seat in one of the finest Pullman cars and ate her meals reg- ularly in the dining-car. As She isan Ori- ental of anything but hich degree such luxury was never hefore known bv her, and she seemed to enjoy it to the utmost. Her expenses must be paid back to China, as they have been here. 1 — NEW TO-DAY. Every pair of our Shoes is sitamped with our name on the sole and inside the Shoe.
