Representative Caminetti of Califor nia had a long conference with the Pres ident recently, and left tin- White House feeling assured it was the intention of the President to see the Chinese restric tion act enforced, Caminetti denied it would take anything like the sum of money which has been mentioned to en force the act, for the reason that tho-e Chinese w ho are entitled to remain would secure certilicatcs at their ow n expense, and those against whom the law is really aimed w ill be frightened out of the coun try I he moment an honest attempt is made to enforce it, Caminetti is of the opinion that w hat additional money may lie neeited will la? voteil at the next ses sion of Congress, and he fears no rencal of the law. Some time ago the immigration bureau was informed that a great number of Japanese were coming into different parts in Washington to work on the railroads in violation of the immigrant laws.

Theodore Thomas has been asked by Director-General Davis to turn over tho keys, documonts and everything else pertaining to the musical bureau to the chief of the department of liberal arts and to tender his resignation to the same ollicial. Attorney-General Olney rendered an opinion in which he holds that the laws ot Congress providing for tho World's Fair prohibit the opening of the branch postofliee located in tho Postofliee De partment exhibit Sundays. In accord ance with this opinion the postofliee and other government exhibit will probably bo closed Sundays. The ladies of the congress came near having a serious row on account of tho alleged slight put upon Helen M. Gou gar. It seems tho lady's name was omit ted from the otllcnil" programme. Her friends resented this as an insult, but when it was reported that Mrs. May Wright Sewall, President of the National Council of Women, had issued a verbal order to tho Presidents of the various department meetings to oxclude Mrs. Gougar from participation in tho speeeh making things became decidedly warm. Mrs. Gougar started on a still hunt, and President 0. C. Itonney had to step in as peacemaker. Tho upshot of tho whole nll'air is that Mrs. Sewall, wliilo declin ing to talk to reporters on tho subject, intimated that sho had issued no such order. Mrs. llenrotin, tho Vice-President, wrote a letter to Mrs. Gougar, say ing sho knew nothing of such order, and President Uonney pourca on on the troubled wateii so that all was eerene again.

Aa Interrntod Sprr tutor Who Took a To 11 Ileal Story In Cooil Faith. enco of a story teller is the litem 1 minded man. When General Di.x ran for gov ernor there was great discussion as to his age. It was ono of the controversies of the canvass. His opponents claimed that he was too old to fulfill tho functions of the office. Singularly enough, the I biographical dictionaries differed about ! ten years. I was making a speech at Watertown to a very big audience. I was running at that tune as a liberal ftcpublican for lieutenant governor upoa the same ticket with Francis Kornan. II was an immense outdoor audience. In front of me stood a man who watched me during the three hours of that speech for the purpose of catching nie on some material point. I finally took np the question of Gen eral Du s ago, gave the dates of the va- rious biographical dictionaries and en- cyclopedias, and based a theory on how old he must have been in thewarof 1812, j where he was a lientcnant, and finally iaid that the only really authentic data ' had been revealed bv some recent re- earches in the colonial records of Mas sachusetts. It had been discovered that when the pilgrim fathers landed on Ply mouth rock they found General Dix standing on that historic spot and shout ing that unless they made him a justice of the peace he would go over and join the Indians, the point of which was that Ult7 xiiuxaiis, IUH UUUil Ul ii ILil WOE Liiii L I general hd changed his politics sey- tiai umia, auu ev er iuue nu gui an omce. My critical friend saw his opportunity and grasped it at once. He sprang up with a shout that could be heard to the Canadian border, "Mr. Depew, that is a lie!" I looked at him for a moment to see whether he had swallowed the bait, and found that he had taken it in hook and line, bob and sinker, whole and alL Then I stepped to tho front of the plat form and said with great emphasis and indignation, "Sir, I have told that his toric anecdote from Mor.t::uk point to Niagara falls to hundreds of thousands of the intelligent and educated people of this great commonwealth, and you ar the only man who ever had the audacity to deny it." "It ain't true, Mr. Depew," he repeat ed, "because that happened more than 230 years ago." I was told when in Watertown last fall that although this happened in 1872 that man had never been able to come into town Binco. Chauncey M. Depew in New York World. The Waverly Oaks. The great oak3 at Waverly. Mass., are nrvivals of an oak forest that must have existed in that region, according to the geologists and students of trees, aa far back as the Tenth century. They bear every evidence of great age, and an elm tree in the neigborhood, now almost dismantled, with its gTeat limbs lying on the ground and nearly all of its branches decayed, is the most venerable object in the line of trees that can prob ably be displayed in New England. It is well worth a visit to Waverly just to see this venerable elm. It is immense in the 6ize of its trunk, and its dignity in decay is very impressive. The dozeq oak trees in the neighborhood are of tht ort that attain a very great age and that maintain their virility unimpaired. We know of only one other oak tree in New England that can be compared with them. That is located in Ipsvich, and is larger and more venerable appar ently than any of the Waverly oaks, and that and the Waverly oaks, we ere glad to know, have been inspected by the state park commissioners and are likely to be preserved. It is worth one'a while to see and study these majestic oaks. They are 6een to great advantage in the winter, when their rugged limbs are bare and their immense strength i3 revealed, and in summer,, when they are covered with foliage, they are objects of wonderful beauty. Boston Herald. The Poetry of 6hopplng. . The poetry of shopping comes in with those shoppers who are starved for ex citement, variety and beauty at home. It is not lawful; they have no right to do it; but they have no society to satisfy a hunger for the beautiful with jewels and fine dresses on others if not on themselves. They cannot afford the theaters; they go to the shops. They look at the laces and long; they go to the embroidery counters and fancy; they educate themselves in the matter of india shawls; they seek the Bilkroom, brilliant with gas lights and electric lights, and look at brocades fit for the court of a princess, at silks whose flamboyant scarlets burn in the illumi nation, whose tender blue is the blue of ipring skies half robbed of rain, whose green is the breaking wave of the sea, whose violet is the hue of mountains far away in autumn mists, and they picture themselves or those they love robed and radiant in these tissues. And if the poor shopman is weary when they go away, they themselves are refreshed for a long season of further denial and renuncia tion. Harper's Bazar.
