firmness, the gloss and evenness of
fibre are the points considered by wool
buyers. The tendency now is in favor of the
finer and softer qualities of wool. The best
medium wool, he thought, was One-half or five
eights merino, with three-ei gifts common. down
or longs. For long wool the mer1no cross was
the best. In preparing fleece for market he
advised the members of the association to tie 1t
twice around. A fresh fleece was more marketa-
bic, he further said, than one that had long been
sheared.

~ Chinese Barbarity.


A case Of barbarous cruelty inflicted
upon a Chinese leper by his countrymen
was discovered by Officers Melendy and
Anthony, at No. SO Waverly place, a
few days ago. A number Of Celestials
bad been arrested at this place for hav-
Ing lottery tickets in their possession.
and one of them, in the hope of securing
his release, volunteered the information
of the presence of sick man. Accord
ingly he led the way through a closet
and a secret panel into a low and dark
room, containing nothing but a couple
of planks, on which lay the most repul-
sive-looking remnant of humanity that
the widest imagination can conceive.
A block of wood served him for a pillow,
and an old blouse for covering.
The portion of the body which was ex-
posed was perfectly black, one leg being
dead below the knee, evidently the
result of fracture. The other leg, and
also the arms and hands, were shriveled
up and bore no longer any resemblance
to human limbs. Other portions of the
body were covered with scales. The
jaws were attenuated, and the dark, in
quiring eyes of the unfortunate wretch
cleaned from between the sockets with
hungry glances that told of the last
stages of starvation. Examination
showed the bones of the fractured leg to
be protruding through the flesh, anews-
paper being the only dressing which the
wound had ever received.
The leper gave his name as All Tip,
and said that about a month ago he had
been sent by contractor to work on
the railroad, near Fresno, as section
hand. His fellow-workmen objected to
him because he had a ..skin disease"
presumably the leprous infection de-
scribed, and wanted TO get rid of him.
He refused to return to the city, and aft
or he had been there about Eve days one
Of his mates jostled him from a hand
car, purposely, he believed, and broke
his leg. Then he was shipped to the
city on fiat car, without any treatment
whatever, and was dumped In his
present quarters. The See Yup Com
pany, to which he belonged. refused TO
do anything for him, and nobody else
would care for him. FinalIya 1broth4
ef" caused him to be removed to the
quarters where he was found. He also
paid fifty cents q week for food. DIR.
All Keong had been in to see him once
and tied up the fractured leg with the
newspaper.af f--T 80
The officers Informed Consul Bee of
the case and also the health office.
Neither has paid any attention to Il DO
far, and the unfortunate leper will prob
ably die before aid is extended to him.
The house is owned by a white man..
and not having received any rent for this
room, he is also importuning the officers

the good taste of the class who are accus-

Great latitude is allowed in the selection
OF materials for the trousers, though D
dark or light gray mixture and very
fine black-and-white check are in the

In regard to this last-named company

ground ready for operation. The place
selected for the Helena well is on East

would be found at a depth of less than
900 feet. From the many successful

we have no doubt that a Helena well
will prove the truth of our expectations.
The location is perhaps as good as could
