It is notorious that hun- ~ds of tramps spend their winters in this city and live by begging : and stealing. The police records show that the number of arrests | | for those offenses during the summer is at least 50 per cent less| | than the number registered between the months of October and March, inclusive. The Police Court calendars last Monday con-| | tained 125 new cases, of which at least three-fourths were for va- grancy.

But they [ were old offenders. There are philanthropists who encourage street-begging, else | | there would be no street-begging. They are aware of the existence | | of public institutions for the aid of the deserving poor, and they know that any self-respecting man would prefer accepting charity from one of those institutions to soliciting alms from strangers and receiving the rebuffs which practical benevolence gives instead of alms. Yeét with all this knowledge they submit to being accosted by lusty mendicants who will not take no for an answer, and who are confident of extracting something at last because of their impor-| tunity.

According to the methods of this novel plan of exploita- tion a large boat, chartered by a chamber of commerce or the mer- ! chants of any great manufacturing community, is fitted out with every facility for the display of products and sent upon a cruise to the most likely markets among European seaports. The entire ex- | pense of the expedition is met by the rents paid for apportionments of space by individual exhibitors, and the profits accrue from the expanded markets secured by thus bringing samples to the very doors of the consumers. ? To Americans who have always prided themselves upon their advertising ability and the ingenuity of their bids for trade this idea of the floating museum of industrial products should have a livening appeal. houses that have more than trusted agents abroad, and these men keen for business though they may be, cannot do the work of cx-’ ploitation that should be done. Here is a device by which whole communities may advance their communal interests as well as serve private profit. To cry our wares on the world’s highway on a scale such as that represented by the floating exhibition would be 10 make a strong try at markets now beyond our reach. For us here on the Pacific Coast, to whom the trade of the Orient is 2 great factor in future success, this idea of the European irade or manufacturing boards or a producers’ association of the interior should fit out a steamer with a display of what we raise and what we make here in California and should send it to Chinese and Japanese ports. Surely this visible manifestation of trade re- sources would touch a responsive chord in the heart of the slant-eyed merchant across the seas. . How the little grains of diplomatic sand heap up to make a happy land! Here a British under-secretary turns on more steam in his automobile than he should and the springs of the State De- partment on this side and the Home Office across the water are set in violent agitation. One of the St. Louis boodlers, who now pulls the long face and says he repents of his crimes, declares in his “confession” that am themselves the ring had “a high code of morals!” It is the old story of honor among thieves. : . | At the present time there are few manufacturing\ | | i i condition, to the great terror of the in- habitants. The Mayor telegraphed to the Prefect of the province for an ex- planation. In reply he learned that the provincial council, owing to lack of funds, had been obliged to close the lunatic asylum and send all the inmates home to thelr families. Those who were unclaimed and without relatives had been sent to Atesa, the nearest town, and set free. ——_—— Among the Latest Offerings of the Funny Fellows. - e .

The instep length skirts are not only to be worn for walking, but for | reception gowns, and those who look | best in skirts of that length will wear | them for the latter purpose. In the longer skirts those that barely touch | in the front and at the sides and drag | on the floor at the back will be fash- | | fonable for dinner gowns and general | | evening wear. The skirts that rest| on the floor several inches all the way around and that are so ungraceful as vell as slovenly, are being hidden vay by all up-to-date women. | For stout women and also for short | women skirts that just clear the| pavement are most becoming. Such‘ skirts are more or less of a nuisance, | for they are just long enough to dip into every puddle or other filth of the street, and yét too short to hold | ungraceful effect being given by the lifting of skirts | that manifestly clear the ground. | It is to be hoped that all women She’ll Stump for Parker - l R ERe ke SNBTaxk FOR THE I DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE. * 1SS MARGARET INGLES, a vi- Mvacious Kentucky girl, has gone to New York to answer a sum- mons from Thomas Taggart, chair- man of the Democratie National Com- mittee, to prepare for her stump speaking campaign in Indiana, says the Lexington correspondent of the Philadelphia North American. Miss Ingles is well known in Ken- tucky and several other States as a campaign orator, but this year she will undertake for the first time to “whoop it up” in the Hoosler com- monwealth. “I had hoped for the nomination of Mr. Bryan,” she said, “but, like & pol- iticlan, I must abide by the decision of the majority and will give Mr. Par- ker my hearty support. I would not mention my preference for Mr. Bryan, but, you know, I spoke for him in the campaigns of 1896 and 1900 and I suppose I have become a little partial to him.” Miss Ingles spoke from the platform with Mr. Bryan in 1396, when that leader was in Lexington, and faced the largest audience that ever greeted a public speaker In this State. Miss Ingles was trained for the stage. She played juvenile parts while very small. Later she determined to abandon the stage for politics. She was made enrolling clerk of the Ken- | tucky Senate in recognition of her work in the 1896 campaign. Good Things for the Table.

Strain and add to syrup, with one quart cold water, juice of the lemons and oranges, half a cup maraschino cherries, cut in halves, two dozen Malaga grapes, cut in two, two or three slices of pine- apple, shredded, and one banana and one orange, sliced. Mix well, add an- other quart cold water, stir well and serve, CORN PUDDING.—Two dozen ears of corn, well filled out but young; grate or cut from the cob and pound kernels; add four pounded crackers, one quart milk, five eggs, four table- spoons sugar and a little sait; bake one hour in a moderate oven.

Al- though many attempts have been made to dethrone the Eton jacket it is still here and will probably be worn for some time. They are well suited to requirements of many women and on that account will be fashionable this winter. PARIS GOWNS SIMPLE. In France you cannot help being struck with the smartness and great simplicity of the tailor made gowns, fitting into the figure and the walst. especially those with long basque; the three-quarter basque has come to stay, says the Queen. The basque rounding tc the curve of the waist and marking the hips falls into every movement of the wearer and the straight line in front is not exaggerated. Sometimes there is a seam at the waist, but more often not, but in many the basque and the coat are cut in one. In Paris per- fect neatness is essential, but while the tallor made is simple the checked siiks, eoliennes and the thin cashmeres are all picture gowns with more or less elaboration of detail. COLORS FOR COATS. White, putty color and pale gray cloths make the smarter coats; and white cloth with @& faint tinge of palest blue, known as zinc white, is extraor- dinarily fashionable. Touches of color are often admitted in narrow cuffs and revers.
