New York World, Noyember 1


The Young Mems Christian Association of
Brooklyn celebrated last evening their TWEEN
ty-fifth anniversary at the Music Hall. The
Rev. Frederick Courtney, of st. Thomas,
New York, urged the young men of the audi
ence to be thorough in the work they were
engaged in. He did not think it was we'll to
belong to no particular denomination. He
spoke of the care of the body as we'll as of the
soul, and said: "Take exercise, all of you,
especially such Of you as are book keep
ers and employed indoors. Walk down

Another War Imminent I'm Asia.

Another war Is imminent in very remote
and little known corner of the world. Some
years ago Yakooh Bey, by force of character
and military genius, created the State Of
Kashgar, in Central ASIA into formidable
power wrestling some of the neighboring
provinces from China. The province of Kuldja,
which was then Chinese viceroyaIty, re-
belled, in the hope Of achieving It's indie
the understanding that if ever the Chinese
regained their Kashgarian provinces, it
was to be restored to China. It was
not supposed at that time that this event
could ever take place; but YaI1oob Boy Is
since dead, his kingdom has fallen to pieces,
the Chinese, nnder the command of q General
of exceptional talent, have reconquered the
former Chinese provinces. and now the Chi
neSe government demands the restoration of
Kuldia. The Russians refuse except upon the
payment Of an exOrbtant sum. as compensa-
tion for improvements effected during seven
years occupation, and the Chinese are mass
ing their forces at the passes which lead into
the province
The defense of Il territory 50 remote from
any base Of operations will no doubt, be
found difficult undertaking for Russia. On
the other hand, the Chinese, though far SUI
periOr in numbers, arc badly armed, equipped
and drilled. They, however, make admira-
BILE soldiers when prop.erl y led, and the expe-
der Col Gordon's command, extinguished
the Taeping rebellion, proves what can
be done with them in the field 1t is
not impossible, il ERg land finds that
Russia is assisting the Ameer, that she may
supply arms and officers to the Chinese
armies fighting against the Russians in Tar
tary. In that case as the supply of men
would practically be without limit, a diver
sion might be made in the extreme East the
influence Of which would be felt from one end
of the frontier to the other. The Chinese
jealousy Of foreign interference is, however,
SO great that it is q question whether England
could induce them to accept the aid she would
be ready to offer until they found themselves
very hard pressed.

There was one very exemplary man among
the directors and officers of the City Of Glas-
gov Bank, who squandered seven millions of
money confided to their ch arge. This was
Lewis Potter. Five years ago he built the
Burnbank Free Church, and became responsi-
bic for the greater portion of the cost of the
fabric, and in consequence Of this liberality
enjoyed great fame for pous zeal and benevo-
lence. During all the years when, according
to the inspectors report, he actively assisted
in falsifying the accounts, in making away
with the cash reserve, and In deceiving the
shareholders and the public, he steadly re-

A Congressman Who Can't klsen.

| Washington Letter to the Philadelphia limos
Some strange stories are told of Hewitt,
which would be very amusing If they did not
relate to his malady, insomnia It is proba-
bic he sleeps fewer hours than any man in
America. He is gradually dying for want
OF sleep. One year he had quarters near
Welcker's and he was driven wild, Or i'm
agined he was, by. the early growing of q
but the cock crowed all the Same. Finally,
in g. fit OF desperation. he told Welcker's
colored man, John, that he would be id
it he could stand it any longer, and he would
give S5 for that id ROSTERS head. John is
a thrifty lad OF few words. He left the
threatening presence at once and sought the
owner OF the cock. He had no difficulty in
buying the fowl for seventy-iive cents, and
the wlinging OF his neck was quick work. He
placed the head upon salver, like John the
BaptStS, and presented himself before the
Congressman, salyer in hand. This made
Hewitt laugh, but he paid the S. John next
sold the dead cock to Welckcr for fifty cents and
cleared 81 75ior his mornings work. Last win
ter Mr. Hewitt occupied quarters ia the house
where Mr.. Fish lived during his whole term
as Secretary Of State Some time before the he
session he sent his man out TO engage quar-
terS Money was no object and the nrln,
obedient to bis instructions, hired not only
rooms for Mr.. Hewitts own USE but those
kept idle in order to prevent any others get
ting them and using them. The noise of any
body walking distubed him greatly, and by
hiring all the rooms abouthim he was sure of
being reasonably quiet. Thus, having a
longer purse than Senator Conkling,
he hired the apartments the latter
had previously occupied, and intended to oc-
cupy again and that created an i'll feeling for
awhile, Mr.. Hewett owns a great many
homes but he can sleep in none of them
Sometimes he will fancy he can sleep at a

to pursue him. He is merely waiting for the
