CHINA'S GREAT WALL.
dow II Looked To q Vsnturesome Ameri-
can Who Scaled ut,

can Who Scaled ut.
Mr.. Richardson of the Davenport
jIa.,) Democrat, who is now engaged
n q tour around the world, says in q
.ecent letter to his paper, written at
Picking, that the great wall of China is
5hegreatest ofthe worlds wonders. 1t
crosses a mountain range and gorge
about 40 miles from Picking, aud the
tourney thither is rough and perilous.
It took six mortal hours to make the
asst Is miles. To quotefrom the letter:
"SQueezing through the last deep
gorge and a deep rift in the solid rock
cut out by ages of rolling wheels and
trampling feet, we reached the great
browning double, FASHIONED gate of
stone and hard-burned brick-one
archway tumbled in. This was the
object of our mission-the great wall
OF China, built 215 years before our
era; built OF great slabs OF weli-hewn
stone, laid in regular courses 20 feet
high and topped out with large hard
burned brick, filled in with earth and
closely paved on top with o dark
tawny brick-the ramparts high and
thick and castellated for use Of arms.
Right and left the great wall sprang
far up The mountain side, now straight,
now curved to meet the mountain
ridge, turretcd each 800 feet, a frown-
ing mass OF masonry. No need to tell
o Of this wall-the books will tell
YOU that-how it was built to keep
the warlike TartarS out-twenty-five
ieet high by forty thick-l 200 miles
long, with room on top for six horses
TO be rode abreast. Nor need tell
you that for 1,4OO years it kept those
hordes at bay, nor that i'll the main
the material used upon it is just as
good and firm and stronga as when put
in place. To tell you how one feels
while standing ON this vast work, sCru-
timing its old masonry, its queer old
cannon, and ambitious sweep aloCg
the mountain crest were only folly. In
speechless awe we strolled or sat and
gaZed in silent wonder. Twelve hun

streams, netting the river archways
with huge, hard bars of copper; with
double gates, with swinging doors and
bars set thick with iron armor-a
wonder in the world before which the
old-time classic seven wonders, all
gone save the great pyramid, were
merest t~riles-toys. The great pyra-
mid has $4,000 900 cubic feet; the
great wall $3.50 GOO, 600 cubic feet.
! An engineer in Stewards party some
years ago gave it as his opinion that
the cost OF this wall, figuring labor at
the same rate, would more than equal
that of the 100000 miles of railroad
in the United States. The material it
contained would build a wall six feet
high and two feet thick. straight
around the globe. Yet this was done
in only 20 years, without a trace OF
debt or bond. 1t is the greatest indi.
vidual labor the world has ever known,
You stand before it as before hegreat
Omnipotent-bowed and silent"

my seat.
Yes, | have n decided objection to

He was now getting out OF temper.
He was q powerful looking man, but !
had never known fear, SO | resolved
to try his mettle a little.
Must be something not very good

The train was coming along rapidly.
In about a minute it would pass I'M
less stopped at once. By this time we
were both in the ticket Office, and
as the stranger uttered his last words
he was confronted by Miss Miner. 1t
was a strange sight to see that beauti'
full girl, clad in a white summer dress,
walk up to him with a huge revolver
in his grasp.
Give me that pistol" she said very
quietly, but firmly and quickly. The
man seemed dazed and handed the
weapon to her IN a mechanical sort OF
way.
"Murderer.." she Missed rather than
spoke, "your own words have con.
demped you. l am Colonel Miners
daughter, and this is thehappiest mo-
ment Ihaveknown since you killed my
father"
Before | could interfere she raised
the pistol and fired. The man lodged
the bullet and ran quickly out of the
door. AS he reached the track the ex.
press Numbered by, and the locOmo,
tive carried with it, for a quarter of a
mile, the corpse ofthe man who had es-
capped shooting only to die a more horri'

but | vas thankful that his daughter
had been spared the crime OF murder,
however j%ustifable it might have been.
| managed, too, to keep the story

WHEN SHALL WE MEET AGAIN.

When shall we meet again,
Dearest and best,
Thou going eastward, and
| going west.
Thou in whose love my heart
Seeks for its rest;
When shall we meet again,
Dearest and best?
Not in loves common way
Was my love spoken
No sweet confession made,
Sealed by sweet token;
Calmly l uttered it,
Though hall heartbrOken;
Not in loves common way
Was my love spoken.
What will its issue be?
Cloud shadows fall
All is uncertainty
Yet over all
One guideth steadily
Great things and small;
What will the issue be?
God guidsth all.

THE CARPENTERS, PICNIC.
One Of The Largest Of The Season. Delegates From All Parts Of The

one Of The Largest Of The Season. Delegates From All Parts Of The
 State At Savfn Rock.
 Next to the great Grand Army picnic the
 picnic of the carpenters was the largest that
 had been held at the shore this year. From early morn till evening the West Haven
 horse cars were crowded to their utmost
 capacity and many went down in stages and
 carriages. Large delegations with their ladies and children came from all parts of the State as the following figures will show: From Hartfoad, 1900; Bridgeport, 450; New Britain, 300; Meriden, 300; Ansonia, 175; Waterbury, 150; Middlstown, 100; New London, 100; Danbury, 100; Norwich, 50. Superintendent Ward, of the West Haven road, had made arrangements to have the picnickers who came down on the Derby trains take the cars at West Haven, and had excursion cars there for that purpose, but in- stead of stopping at West Haven the excur- sionists came through to this city and con- sequently could not be transported for some time as the cars had to be brought from West Haven. This was the only delay dur ing the day. The crowd was larger than the New Haven council expected and they were only sorry that they had not months ago ap- pr6C16GeO the pOSSlDlllIloS Ol Guo dndlr buu done their utmost to make it the largest pie nic that was ever held in the State. The Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners numbers nearly 5O,O00 members in America. The tide was not right for bathing during the day, but in the early evening many took the opportunity te sport in the cool waters. The tub race which was advertised to take place did not occur owing to the tide. The base ball game be- tween Hartford and New Haven clubs was
 won by the former, their playing being far superior to that of the home team. In the tug of war contest between teams from New
 Britain and Bridgeport the latter was sue oessful. At 4,30 o'clock labor meeting was held at which P. J. Mcguire, the labor agi- tator, was the principal speaker. Other speakers werei Fl. J. Osborne, New Haven; s. Teller, Bridgeport; N. .Feeley, New Haven B. H. Bacon. Hartford; Stephen Nichols, New Haven; J. w. filling, New Britain; L.. Norton, Norwich, E. Welden, Meriden. Some of the visitors will hold 8 convention | in the headquarters of the assembly in Woods bull ding to day.

SULLIVAN AND HEARLD.
An EGort To Bring Them Togethe ReapIIe fhe Authorities.


 Despite the Authorities.
 NEW YORK, August 27.-N. w. Mallahan said this afternoon that Sullivan and Hearld will fight six rounds tomorrow at time and place to be made known in the morning papers, and at the very latest the fight would occur Monday. Sullivan went further than this and telegraphed from Hackensack to an afternoon paper that he would positively meet Hearld tomorrow at Schuetzen Park in spite of the authorities. He claims the law of New Jersey permits match for points and that the police cannot interfere. People are holding on to their tickets and apparent ly believe in Sullivan rather than in the au- thorities, but the latter are firm in their declaration that the contest will not be per- mitted. They have arranged for a small body of militia to be in the vicinity of Schuetzen Park ready to assist the deputy sheriffs and police if necessary. The state ment is published that if the match does not come off tomorrow, Billy Oliver, the Harlem sport, will take Sullivan and Hearld to AL bany and arrange fight there, probably on the Pleasure Island race track,
