LONDON, Jan. Pa Hong Kong dis.
patch to the Times points out that

Formosa or Hainan would amount
to a casus belli with England.
According to the treaty of 1916, it was
stipulated that upon the evacuation of
Chusan by the British that the island
should never be ceded to any other foreign
power. England undertook, in the event
Oh an attack, to protect the Chusan de-
Rendencles and to restore them TO China.
The Times adds: ''The Chinese could and

their stipulatiOns.'

FRECKLED HUMANITY.
What Medical Man Has to say on the
Snbiect
philadelphia Recon,

PhttddeLDhtd Record.
"Freckles appear to be gradually dying
out as far as Philadelphia is concerned
remarked a prominent medical man Of
this city yesterday as he sat in his office
and chatted with Record representative.
Nowadays" he continued, "there are
not nearly as many cases of such facial
decorations brought to my attention for
treatment as there used to be''
"Why, surely people don't 90 to the doe
tors to have freckleS removed, do they?v
queried the scribe.
''lndeed they do, many Of them; that is.
as was just saying, many of them used
to, but now they don't either mind being
freckled or the freckles are not as favishlv
distributed by Dame Nature as they once
were, or perhaps they are the fashion
now, for all l know"
Il suppose that a majority of such
patients are women, are they notY'
"Ges. Almost all of them are women
and girls. In fact, / don't recall more
than two or three cases in my practice
where patient who came to have
freckles removed was a man, and all OF
such cases occurred several years ago.
One such case l remember distinctly, for
it amused me a good deal at the time.
The man was about 30 years old, strong,
healthy in every way, and lived some
where in Delaware county. He was
awfully freckled; had great big ones, as
big as cent, all over his face and neck,
but was otherwise a very good looking
fellow. He came in one morning and
asked me if could do anything for him,
and then blushinglV cOn1ded to me that a
girl had promised to marry him if he could
get rid of his freckles. He said that she
was very pretty, and was afraid of CATCH
ing them from him If she became his wife,,
"DId you manage it for him 20
"Yes; but it took a good while. and he
invited me to his wedding, too. He has
three children now, and two OF them are
as picturesquely disfigured as their father
once was.
'MostOf my freckled patients have come
to me in the autumn, and want to get rid
of the spots that have been caused by ex-
pOsure to the sun and wind at seashore re-
sorts during the summer. Such cases are
comparatively easy to manage"
"What do you prescribe"
"a careful application of the ointment
Of the oleate of copper on going to bed.
and the ointment should be made by dis
solving the oleate of copper in enough
eleO-palmite to make a mass. l would
not advise any one TO use ii, however, un-
less a physician was first consulted on
the subject"

LONDON, Jan. 23.-Sir Charles Dixie
President of the Local Government Board
In speech delivered in Kensingon last
evening, declared that the English GOV.
ernment had great confidence in Gen.
"Chinese" Gordon's advice. He said that

evacuation of the provinces of Kordofan
and Darfour, and the interior

Egyptian domination throughout Soudan,
but would maintain that domination upon
the Red Sea coast, especially with view
10 prevent the slave trade. The govern
ment mad suggested the sending of Gen.
UordOn TO Egypt several months ago, but
neither the General, nor the Egyptian au-
thorlties, nor the British authorities in
Egypt were willing that he should 90.
len days ago. said Sir Charles. ssthe
English Government was informed that
ueh' Gordon, although he had
no wish to go to Egypt, was
Wiling TO obey the orders of the govern
Ineht and to act under the orders of Sir
Evelyn Barring, the British Minister in
Egypt. The latter cOnsenting to this ar
rangement, Gen. Gordon promptly started
Ior Egypt, carrying with him the good
Wlshes and confidence of the country"
GORDoN's LIFE IN PERIL.
Many persons who consider that the
influence which Chinese Gordon formerly
welded In Soudan has vanished, think
that ne will run the risk. of assassination
at the hands of the rebels. 1t is said that
TWO Sheiks from Cairo will accompany
him to Khartoum.

The well-tO-dO English woman, whether
maid, matron or widow, is, If in good av-
erage health, very happily situated per-
son, probably much happier than any
other kind of person is or has been. She
is full of quiet life. She has work. either
with her studies, her children or her house
hold, just sufficient to take away the sense
of uselessness, and not sufficient to over
task either her strength or her nerves.
She has no great dangers to fear, either
for herself or others; no extreme changes
to dread; nothing to call into existence
that poisonous sense of terror which in
many countries and classes, can never have
been totally eXtirpated. She is safe in her
drawing-rOom as if she were in heaven:
so safe that she has ceased to regard
safety as pressing condition of happi-
ness. the Importance of which is, indeed,
known only to those who have lived in
unsafe regions of the world, such as
Mexico or Connaught. She has good
food in plenty; her dress never Offends
her Gn3OltT-prOpre or disturbs her sense of
dignity; she has as much change as she
wishes, and, unless her house is very re-
mote from the haunts of men, q sufficiency
of varied society, composed OF men and
women whom she likes and understands
Of affection, if she is not very unfortu-
nate, she has plenty. Her husband loves,
her, her daughters worship her. her sons
depend on her, her friends are devoted to
her. The father, especially in old age, does
not gain half from his children that the
mother does; nor is he half so close TO
them. He may be respected and cared for
but the mother is loved, and followed with
a quite separate observance, arising
partly from affection and partly from a
more perfect intimacy. Constantly house
holds are seen in which the relations of
the daughters to the mother, and often,
though in a less degree, of the sons. is
something quite beautiful, so much of
genuine feeling, yet so little of the tyranny
Of feeling is there in it. The sheltering OF
women is to many men constant pre-
occupation, and the work is performed
with a silent care and perfectness often
wanting in regard to the other duties of
life. OF friends, the happy woman has
enough We Will not attempt to decide
whether men or women are the
more capable Of friendship, but we
suspect that the popular opinion on
this head has very little to justify it that
women are as honest in friendship as
men, and sorrow tor their friends as
keenly, and that the only difference
springs from comparative freedom. Stead
fastness in friendship is only for the free,
and women are the less free of the two
sexes. However that may be. women
certainly benefit by their friendships more
than men. They see their friends oftener,
enjoy more converse with them, have
more time for letter-writing, and can cul-
tivate friendship better in a full ROOM
They take altogether more trouble about
it, and find themselves constantly padded
in friends when men would be compare
lively alone. The widower, though it is
not the custom to think so, is far more
lonely than the widow

argues that the Constitution nowhere del.
egates the power to Congress Of providing
penal statutes for the punishment of anY
crime committed in any State by one cit
iZen or resident upon another because the
crime grew out of animOsities engendered
by political differences, and that the
power of Congress to enact a penal law
must be derived from some unequivocal
constitutional provision; that there be-
ing no constitutional authority
for the enactment by Congress of laws
providing for the Indictment, conviction
and punishment of persons in a State
who have combined together to iniure a
citizen because of his having exercised
the right and privilege Of suffrage. The
matter was properly one for State courts,
and the exercise of ofjurisdictiOn by United
States courts was illegal, and that the
petitioners should be discharged. The
counsel for the petitioners will conclude
his argument tomorrow and will be re
piled to by the Solicitor General on behalf
of the government.
1t has been decided that only Solicitor
General Phillips shall appear for the gov
ernment, Emory Speer being left out.

Finding a Good Excuse.
Nh Cf.1sot ~

One day three or four weeks ago a re-
tail grocer over in Jersey sat down with
his clerk one evening and said: "James,
| owe New York houses over S3,000."
"Yes, sir" eve have 1000 in cash in
the safe, the stock is all run down and
this would be the time to fail in business
s'It certainly would" SBut / want a
reasonable apology to give my creditors
when they come down on US for explana-
tions. See if you can't think of something
tonight and let me know in the morning.0
The clerk promised, and the grocer
wheeled a chest OF tea and bag of coffee
home as a beginning. Next morning when
he appeared at the store the safe was
open, the cash gone, and on the desk was
a note from the clerk reading: II have
taken the $1,000 and am prepared TO skip.
1t will be the best excuse in the world for
your failing so fiat that creditors can't
realize . cents on the dollar"
