Leslie} Shaw last night in the quarters of Pacific-Wnion Club there were gathered seventy-four representatives of San Francisco's highest financial and commercial institutions, regardless of politics. The feast was tendered by the Commercial Club and the invita- tions were non-partisan and directed to those most interested in hearing the views of the Secretary of the National | Treasury. Frank J. Symmes presided. F. S. Stratton, Collector of the Port, was the head and front of the affair, and he did himself proud in setting forth the proper place of San Francisco in the commerce of the Far East. In speaking to the business men of the West Mr. Shaw was not backward in setting forth his ideas of finance. | His address follows: M the e of business equipment is of has tance.

Keep the reins away from his tail and he'll be gentle as a lamb.” The'amateur ac- cepted the assurance and drove away, returning some hours later in good condition. ‘“Well, you had no trou-| ble with the horse?” the liveryman suggested. “Not a bit,” was the reply. “There was only one little shower and my wife held the umbrella over his| tail while that lasted.” Does the reader recognize this anec- dote?

The Secretary of the Treas: was listened to and applauded. His ideas met with the approval of men of af- fairs, who give keen judgment to ever: thing affecting commercial and finan clal progress. But the dinner was not altogether a national proposition. Mr. Stratton had something to say about the business of the port of San Francisco and the pros- perity of the Pacific slope. He dis- cussed the relations of this commercial empire with the Orient. He set forth that the entire imports of the United States in 1903 aggregated $84,000,000, out of which San Francisco had $37,000,000. The exports of this republic, said Mr. Stratton, in the last fiscal year were $72,000,000, and $39,000,000 went out of the Goiden Gate. There was more talk, equally favor- able to the coast, made by Benjamin Ide Wheeler, president of the Univer- sity of California: Fred Holman of the Portland Commercial Club and Ad- miral Henry Glass of the Pacific squad- | ron.

It has been obliged to discontinue sure it is not the New York of the | Great White Alley whose postal tacil»‘: ities have been cut off, but a town of | somewhat smaller size In Towa. It| has also been the unhappiness of the | people of Rock Branch in the same commonwealth to lose thelr postoffice, and the records have been transferred | to Correctionville. Ominous name! Let | us hope the records are straight. In Michigan the department has amended the name Sault de Ste. Marie into Sault Sainte Marie and it has established the offices of Racy and Res- cue. In Minneapolis that noble office known for years as Proctorknott has : been shorn of its final syllable and the | famous orator is known only by his | Christian name upon the mailing lists now. Skog is a new name in Minne- | sota, and a good one. In Mississippi Chunkeys Station has been transform- ed into Chunky. In Oregon Needy has been stricken from the list, and in Pennsylvania Arcadia has been estab- lished. In the Philippines Masbate has been discontinued. Equality has been es- tablished in South Carolina and a new Bunker Hill has arisen in Tennessee. Doeville has also sprouted in Tennes- see and there the much-sought John may have his home. In Texas Hawley has been trans- formed into Blessing and an Arp has appeared, doubtless a modest tribute to the humorous gentleman of that pseu- donym.

It was not & thrilling impersonation of the Irish pa- triot by any means, possibly because the playwright did not supply the op+ portunities that are requisite to make up a real stat part. George Osbourne made a more interesting role of Michael Dwyer than Whittlesey did of Emmet. Barring the tendency of Whittlesey to talk about “me country” in his oraticn in the courtroom when he was sentenced to death, he was as picturesque as couid be expected. His love scenes with Eu- genie Thais Lawton were not bad, but condensed into small compass. Miss Lawton has little to do in the play. Marie Howe as the servant did her cus- tomary stunt well. The story carries its own interest, intrigue, improbabili- ties and innate pathos of the historical situation, and it runs briskly along on the diffusion plan, with little interrup- tion.
