just as soon as we are sure of them.
For instance there are two men with
sore arms whom Judge Cory was kind
enough to send out to our summer re-
sort at Como. Their case was fully eX-
posed in the GLOBE few days ago."
Zone queer case that happened a
couple of weeks ago. said General
Agent Hutchins, twas that of man
who came to me for advice. This man
had been
CONFINED IN AN INSANE ASYLUM,
but had been discharged as cured.
When he returned to st. Paul somebody
told him that another man was living
with his wife. Husband No. 2 was un-
deniably hard character, and the re-
turning husband was actually afraid to
go home and seek an interview with his
wife. So he wanted me to go along and
defend him. l told him that he had
only heard that this man was with his
wife, and it might not be so. / advised
him to go and see the woman and if he
was really afraid, to have policeman
within easy call. He was to come back
and tell me if his wife was untrue to
him. but as have not seen anything of
him since, nor read of his murder, / sup
pose matters must have been arranged
on satisfactory basis"

themselves GAIL Under Heaven" the
'sLOng-Haired Race" and the "Flowery
Nation" the latter name not referring
to flowers, but meaning polished and
refined. There are many reasons for
supposing them to come from the same
root as the North American Indian.
The Chinese language is very singular.
1t is not alphabetical, but embraces in
its written form 10000 words, repre-
sented by the same number of charac-
terS. In their spoken language a
word may have sometimes eight tones
or infections, each having a different
meaning. The Chinese writings are very
concise as rule, but in ancient manu-
scripts, deep and obscure. Three
fourths of the people speak the man
terror towns have a patoiS not easily
understood. / have known Instances in
which people living ON opposite sides of
river were unable to understand
each others speech. / have gone
for months without hearing a
word of English spoken. China
has three religions permitted by
government, besides many local relig-
ions winked at by the state officials.
Buddhism is the state religion, and be-
Ing OF greater Responsibility than the
others, is professed by nearly all. 1t
holds many SuperStitions and appeals
to the principle of fear, having eight
cen hells. It also teaches of heaven,
religion is one of morality, pro-
Tossing to know nothing of
the future, but holding up a
wonderful system of moral principles
and high ideals of life, which unfortun-
ately its devOteeS do not attempt to live
up to. TauliSm is religion much allied
to the aStrOlogy and the mysticism of
the Middle Ages. The practices of all
these religions are most degrading,
though their principles keep alive the
idea of Immortality and have done
something to prepare the way for
Christianity.
China's greatest obstacle to progress
is its intense conservatism. Tremen-
break away from the old customs and
the convert to Christianity is looked
upon as an Outcast and a traitor, losing
family, home, social standing, reputa-
tlon and business to become sometimes
a beggar. The Chinese moral charac-
ter is full of deceit, and the elements of
love and gentleneSS are almost unknown.
How can it be otherwise when wife
is often bought for $50 and sold in
short time as slave? lnfanticide
abounds unpunished. i might relate
many horrible cases of barbarity. but
one will suffice to show the brutality of
their character. One of their punish
ments is to place the culprit in large
cage in the middle of the street, and he
is left there to starve to death--the
death penalty being enforced for giving
the offender food.
Although base, the Chinese character
is strong and capable of producing
much. They are pushing people and
when once they adopt thing stay by it
firmly. China is yet unexplored and
unknown, but it is larger in area than
the United States, possesses great nat
ural wealth, and when the people are
Christianized, as they ultimately will be,
China will make one of the greatest ma
tions of the earth, contributing it's full
share to the worlds wealth, whether
political, social, financial or moral.

A HELPING HAND.
Demands Made Upon st. Paul's
Relief Society.

Relief Society.
The public knows but little of the
work of the Relief society of st. Paul,
and the means it takes to provide for
those unfortunateS who come under it's
care. At No. 141 East Ninth street, the
Office of the society, Secretary r. Hall
and General Agent NJ. L. Hutchins
may be found busy all day answering
the demands for aid that come to their
notice.
Naturally such bureau will receive
numerous applications from unworthy
persons and impoStors, as well as those
who come for advice of all kinds.
I'VE receive many applications" said
Secretary Hall, ''from people who want
to leave ST: Paul and go to some other
place. Yesterday we had case OF this
kind from an Italian who wanted to re-
visit his own country, but had only SIS.
He thought we ought to buy him
ticket as far as New York anyway.
A similar case was that of a HOllander
who wanted us to let him have S65 to
PAY HIS RAILROAD FARE TO HELENA.
He said that he had heard that there
was plenty of work in Helena, and that
if we would send him and his wife out
there they might worry along. We
asked him if he was sure of place, to
which he replied that he was not, but
thought he could get something to do.
A young man wanted us to guarantee
him months board. He had been in
temperate, but was trying to do better.
He had secured situation in the city,
but wouldn't be paid off until the end
of the month, and wanted us to- take
care of him until he received his
salary.

CASUAL CHATTER.

The term 'front.' was not generally
dsed by hotel clerks until Charley
Hoyt's play brought it to public atten-
tion. Then the clerks caught on"
and it could be heard in every hotel. 1t
seems to be dying out again. Hotel
clerks have different ways of attracting
the attention of the boys. There is a
clerk at MinnetOnka who simply gives
s.clucks'' with his tongue when he wants
q boy. 1t is not known whether that is a
fashionable fad or bad habit. Speak
ing about the habit of calling front" a
gentleman said last night he never
could understand why they yelled
front when they are always sending
them back
A New York diamond merchant sat
in the Ryan yesterday afternoon. He
was neatly dressed. but no one would
ever suspect, from his appearance what
his business was. There was not a
spark nor piece of jewelry i'll sight.
''That is the way those diamond mer-
chants always CO." said gentleman
speaking about the absence of jewelry.
II know three of them from New York
and they always travel plainly and
without show. One of them never
wears white shirt, nothing but the
plain wooden ones. When they go out
to do business or travel | suppose there
is never day but what they carry from
$4,000 to Sl50000 worth of diamonds
about their vest pockets, and yet you
would never suspect that there was a
spark within a mile of them.'-
~
considerable interest is manifested y
said Secretary Robert Miller, of the
Democratic state central committee,
''in the approaching convention at Bal
timore, Md, of the national league OF
Democratic clubs. The convention will
be held under the auspices of the Young
Mems Democratic clubs of New York
and Brooklyn, and the sessions will be
held three days, commencing July f."
A number of clubs already organized,
or in process of formation throughout
the Northwest, and Minnesota and Wis
consin particularly, are going to the
convention in body, and are perfect
ing arrangements with the railroads for
that purpose. The league was organ
lied before that of the Republicans,
which met at New York several weeks
ago, but the promoters thought it adj
visable to defer calling convention
until after the presidential nominations
were made by both parties.

shall come from far; and 10, those from
the North and from the West, and
these from the land of Sinim."
''OYer 700 years before Christ" said
Mr.. Sayre, ''when these words were
uttered, China possessed many of the
institutions and characteristics of the
present day. The world is living eX-
emplification of the old truth that the

1t is believed that Alfred E. Manning,
who killed himself in Fairmount park a
few days ago, and whose body was
found on Saturday last, was insane.

died. five years ago, although the girl
was only eleven and he was forty-fougg,

CABLE CARS STOPPED
By the Slipping of a Pin at the
Power House.

The big bull wheel in the power house
of the cable railway got out of tune
early yesterday morning, and conse-
quently the cable cars didn't run until
about O'Clock in the afternoon. The
trouble was caused by one of the pins
in the wheels working loose and allow
ing the wheel to slip out of gear along
the main shaft. By means of number
of jack screws and force of men suffi-
eient pressure was finally obtained to
pnsh the pulley back into its place,
after which the big engine was again
set in motion. The cars were distributed
all along the line, and had not made
their first morning trip when the acci-
dent occurred.
