It is too early yet, according | to men connected with the manufacture | of machines, to tell how succeesful the addition will pgove, but it is pre-| to serve meny thousands of | merchants in Arabia, Egyvpt and Persia. A typewriter company of New York ad- vertises “‘one hundred styles of typewrit- ers in twenty-six languages.” Many of these languages, of course, have nearly e same characters'as the English. For dinavian machines are like ours except that the keyboards contain certain ac-} nts that are not us. The i needed by German, Greek and Russian keyboards ree, have their distinctive chara but the number of keys is practi-| the same in every case. There are special machines for writing Gaelic, and | these the dealers speak of as “Igjsh type- | writers.” | One company makes a typewriter for| { Chinese. This one is necessarily very in- | | complets, for the language contains an | almost unlimited number of characters, | but it serves in ordinary business. Thers | is another machine with a kevboard of Burmese characters, as well as one for | Siamese. There is no instrument for | writing Hebrew, and this fact a type writer maker explains by saying that, al- { though thousands use that language, busi- | pess operations are not conducted in it| { very extensively.—New York Times. { i e —— e —— Blind Men in Indiana. A study of Indiana’s blind population | establishes the fact that if properiy, | trained the blind are seif-supporting and | | that they get a great deal of pleasure out | | of life. In every part of the State there| | are blind men and womén who are mak- | ing marked financial as well as social successes, though badly handicapped. { Many are in the mercantile lines; a large | number are teaching music or are tuning | | planos, or both. Indiana has two blind | | men who have been admitted to the bar; | three who are eminent preachers. The | State has blind poets, authors, music com- | posers and newspaper workers. There ere blind mechanics in Indiana, a blind | | inventor and many blind industrial work- ers. In the list of self-supporters one | finds commercial travelers, book agents | |and a train “bo; Blind men conduct | groceries, broom factorles, real estate and Joan agencles, justices courts and news stands. Some have amassed fortunes and have retired from business. One blind | man is a “'globe trotter.” Indlana was the | first or the second State to elect a blind | man to the office of Justice of the Peace, and she has one of the two blind Jus- tices in this country to-day.—Indianapolis News. - A Sensitive Plant.

RACING IS RESUMED AT OAKLAND UNDER VERY FAVORABLE AUSPICES First Choices Capture Four of the Events Decided. Jockey Club and Glendenning Receive Substantial Boosts---Boland Again Lands Oriana at 16 to | ACEGOERS sailed acro: the bay to Oakland track again yes- terday, where the season will eventually be brought to a close in April. The card presented was a tolerably good one, attracting a large There was no end of spice and variefy, favorites capturing four and outsiders what was left. Oriana, which won at Ingleside one day last week at odds of 16 to 1, repeated the trick in the closing event, and, strangely enough, the gelding was again quoted at the same fig- ure. After trying All winter for a purse, Lone Fisherman at last landed for Billy Oli- There was a bit of luck about it, ver. | too, for Rasp should have won off by himself. Ivy Powell rode the latter and turned into the stretch five lengths ahead of his field. He apparently did not want | to win by an excessive margin, and while easing up on his mount wag collared and nosed out by Minder astride Lone Fisher- Donny finished third with The Ladaean. An odds on favorite, Jockey Club, pilot- ed by Bullman, downed Andrew Ring a neck for the filve and a half furlong int, next decided. Clivoso, from the Baldwin stable, made his first appearance and led for five furlongs before he began to tire. The last time Sweet Tone started the filly’s stable connections had a good sized commission down, but yesterday let her run loose, and the odds went from 5 to 7. Buliman handled her with excellent judg- ment and in a hard drive got the deci- sion from Garnet Ferguson’s Miss Ring- lets by nearly a length. Libble Candid finished third, after making all ‘the rum- ning. Visions-~of the absent E. J. Arnold of St. Louis were recalled when Peaceful took the mile selling event, starting a 9 to 10 favorite. Johnny Daly sat in the saddle and the big St. Florian gelding did nothing more than gallop from start to finish. Position came fast at the close, disposing of Katie Walcott for the.place by half a length. Willie Sink’s sprinter Glendenning is in rare fettle just now. Ridden by “Kerry Patch™ Wilson and a 3 to § favorite, the Sink entry made a show of the other starters in the six-furlong selling scram- ble. Rag Tag had no more difficulty beat- ing Balifoom Belle for place honors. Jimmy Boland on Oriana outfinished Minder with the mount on El Fonse in the concluding mile ‘and. fifty-yard run. The pair had the race between them from the start, the former getting a head ver- dict at the wire. Ulloa received backing at 8 to 1 and ran a good third. The fa- vorite, Tizona, gave it up with half the route over. P LT NOTES OF THE TRACK. Worth Jogkey Club stakes close to-day. A run up the country to inspect some timber owned, prevented Tommy Burns from his saddle engagements yesterday. being warmed up by an exercise boy previous to the fourth race Antolee, in & joy- ous mood, ran away a couple of il She was then scratched and twenty minutes al- lowed the ring to make & new book. The win of Jockey Club made a very busy man of Colonel “‘Butch” Fisher. Preston Burch, owner of Andrew Ring, bid up Jockey Club from $300 to $1200 without getting him. Colonel Fisher then retallated by claiming An- drew Ring for $625. Glendenning also received a boost after cap- turing the fifth race. Entered to be sold for 500, Pete Romigh tilted the price to $1200. ‘Willle Sink retained his sprinter. Green Morris s willing to race Rapid Water or Preclous Stone against the pick of the two- year-old divigion here, and will put up a good- sized wager on the side. Green thinks he possesses the best two-year-olds out this way, but is anxious to verify his judgment. The veteran trainer also says he will match Old England against any aged horse here, over seven furlongs. A car leaves for the East to-day carrying Bot Mot, Yellow Tail, St. Sever, Imperious and John Farley, owned by Dr. Rowell, and Lord Badge, Gaviota, Alado and_Hazelwood, the latter four the property of Billy Oliver. The last-mentioned turfman made many friends while here, and they hope to see him out here again next season. The horses named will be raced at the Washington meeting, which opens on March 23. ‘Waterbury will ride for Dr. Rowell in_the East. He may also do some riding for Wal ter Jennings, who finds himself without a pliot. After Lone Fisherman won the first event through a great streak of luck, Billy Oliver s0ld the gelding to Al Martin for $600. The Thornton stake will be reopened on Fri- dey for additional entries. The distance is four miles. Prescott Burch leaves for New York to-day along with Dr, Rowell and Billy Oliver. Pres- cott_brought Stuyve to California, disposing of him some months ago to Arnold & Co.

FPossibly she may be a good one to tab. If 0, tabbing is bound to become a very popular pastime. “‘Handriding”’ Kelly's handling of Wind- ward was a splendid plece of horsemanship. He took good care of the horse throughout, got through next the rail on the stretch turn and finished a close fourth.

The Board of Supervisors yesterday granted the San Francisco Athletic Club permission to hold a professional boxing exhibition during March for the benefit of Frank McConnell, who was injured at the tanners’ benefit. It was stipulated that the entire profits of the exhibition, after expenses are paid, are to go to the moth- er of the pugilist. Aleck Greggains agreed to give Mrs. McConnell 3500 if the receipts fell short of that amount. Curtis opposed the permit because a permit has already been granted to the Hayes Valley Club for March, and the or- dinance prohibits the holding of two ex- hibitions in one month. Curtis’ substitute resolution that a permit for an exhibition be granted to the Hayes Valley, the San Francisco and the Yosemite clubs com- bined, provided that no participant re- ceives remuneration, was defeated. ——————— Racing Results at New Orleans.

The members of the Pacific Athletic Assoclation held a meeting at their head- | quarters in the Emma Spreckels build- ing last night to discuss the coming re- | gattas of the various boat clubs in the | State. President W. B. Hinchman pre- sided and Secretary Herbert Hauser oc- cupied the chair. The committee declded upon April 11 and July 4 as the dates for two of the regattas. The other will be held sonfe time during December. The races will be between the Olym- pics, the South Ends, the Ariels and the Dolphins of this city; the Stocktons, the Alamedas and the oarsmen of the Uni- versity of Callfornia. The regattas will take place on Lake Merritt, the Oakland estuary. The sport is just begining to boom among the Berkeley men and the prob- |abllity is that the university will turn out a crack barge crew this year. Rowing has been somewhat on the wane among the college athletes of late, but now the men have taken hold of the sport and from present indications the coming row- ing season will be a banner one for the Berkeley crew. —_————— Stole Hogan’s Goat.

RECENT CENSUS OF 1 THE CHINESE EMPIRE Shows Population of Four Hundred and Thirty Millions, Nearly One- third of Human Race. Some doubt has been thrown by recent travelers upon the correctness of the ac-| cepted notion that China is a land of teeming population. It has been asserted | that the human hives along the seaboard | and the great rivers of China ought not | to be taken as basis for estimates; that in those parts of the empire which lie oft | the main routes of traffic (the natural and artificial water courses) the population of China is comparatively thin. A census re-| cently taken by the Peking Government | | for the purpose of assessing taxes (o meet the indemnity payments seem: however, to prove the accuracy of the | elder estimats. The census shows tha(‘ the eighteen provinces of China proper contain 407,737,305 inhabitants, that Man- | churia has 8,030,000 and Mongolia, Thibet and Chinese Turkestan a little over 10,- | 000,000. The total population of the em- pire is 426,447,325 according to this enu-| meration. The absolute reliability of Asi-| atic statistics Is questioned, nevertheless the agreement of the resulls of the cen- | sus with the accepted estimates is so close | as to invite confidence. The statement that the Chfhese empire contains one- | third of the human race will hereafter be | regarded more than ever as an approxi- | mate truth.—Philadelphia Record. ——— O ——— The Crimes of 1902. The total number of murders and homi- cides in the United States in 1302 was 8834, according to the record kept by the Chicago Tribune, as compared with 7852 in 1901. The lynchings numbered 9, as compared with 135 in 1901, the South fur- nishing 87 and the North 9. Of the total number of victims 85 were negroes, 9| whites and 1 an Indian.

The suicides for the year number 231, being 9% more than in the preceding year. The record of embezzling, forgery, de- faulting and bank-wrecking for 1902 shows a considerable Increase, the total being 36,769,125, as compared with $4,085,59 in 1901.

Scientific forestry has much to teach us as to the possibilities of removing lumber without damaging the forests, but lum- bering, as it is understood at present, has nothing to do with scientific forestry. The State of New York never showed its supe- riority in any more convincing way than when it went into the business of buying lands in the Adirondacks for the purpose of keeping the lumbermen out and of pro- tecting the forests against fire. The State now owns 1,352,356 acres in the Adiron- dacks and 84,000 in the Catskills—a total of 2244 square miles—a wood" lot consid- erably bigger than the State of Delaware. —Syracuse Post-Standard. ————— Advance of Civilization. ‘The Rajah of Sarawak has issued an or- der to the following effect: “The habit of wearing caps and hats of European shape and manufacture having become general among natives of all classes, I hereby direct that any native wearing such a cap or hat shall remove it from his head upon entering any Governmeni offices or building, or when any European officers.’ | e e A e A e HUNTER Baltimore RYE N et e S A i Uniform Quality Superb Flavor Mellow and Rich The Charm of Hospitality Under Any Test it is The Best R T T e e e i e The choice of those who Know the Best Like the Best Buy the Best HILBERT MERCANTILE CO.. 213-215 Market st., San Francisco, Cak
