F1DDLED OUT OF CHURCH.
The Incident Which Made Chief JUS
tice Fuller an Episcopalian.

The Incident Which Made Chief JUS
tice Fuller an Episcopalian.
From the Mem York World.
AUGUSTA, Me-, Dec. 25.-Singular as the
statement may seem, the notes Of
piano and violin drove the present chief
justice of the United States from the
Congregational into the Episcopal fold
In 1910 Nathan Weston was chief justice Of
the state # Maine, and Mrs. Fuller, mother
OF Melville w. Fuller, was Weston's daugh-
ter. After meeting of the young ladies'
sewing circle at the Weston home, Mrs.
Fuller played the piano for dance, her
brother accompanying her on his fiddle.
The conservative members of the congaega-
ton, taking offense, instituted an inquiry
that dragged along for months, and re-
suited in the withdrawal Of the w eston aud
Fuller families and many others, who joined
the Episcopal church. 1t IS a curious coin
cidence that the Episcopal church which
was erected two or more years ago, stands
on the spot where the dance took place, and
the house itself, moved to the rear, is now
the rectory.

THUGS IN THE PARK
J. A. Hutton Attacked by FoOtpads
Near the Confederate Monument.

j. A Hutton, foreman in the printing
establishment Of 7. p Townsend. was as
saulted by two negroes in the Park extern
sion about Z O'Clock night before last. and
was severely beaten on the face, head and
arms. Mr.. Hutton was on his way home
end was walking through the Park extern
sion, Just beyond the confederate monu-
meDt, when he was attacked. His assail-
ants were evide thy green and did not
Understand their business, and ran away
before they succeeded in taking from their
victim anything Of value.
Mr.. Hutton had on his person several
dollars and gold watch. The thugs made
an effort to get the watch, but they broke
the chain and left the watch in his pocket.
Mr. Hutton says that he would recognize
the men If he saw them az lin.
''Ir was driZzling rain" he said, land
had my umbrella hOisted. | saw the men
standing in the middle Of the walk, and
when | got up to where they were they
stepped to the right and took the LETT side of
the walk noticed them casually as passed.
They were both negroes. One Of them wore
a light overcoat and the other was dressei
in a black suit. They were both above the
medium hight and were rather robust After
/ had passed them about twenty steps they
ran up behind me and one clutched me by
the throat while the other held my hands
Being caught unawares was thrown down,
but fortunately | fell on my right side.
Nv watch was in my right vest pocket and
/ had few dollars IN my right trousers
pocket. My right arm was released in the
scuffis, while one OF the negroes tried to go
througl my pockets. When my arm was
released [ broke the z asp of the one that
held me by the throat and shouted for help
This frightened them and they LETT
me and ran toward Drayton street
! chased them for some distance
but filming tha' they had not got my watch
or money gave it up. They tore the in
side packet out of my coat and carried with
them roll book of Company A Of the
Guards, memorandum book, my poll tax
receipt and a private letter | reported
the matter at police headquarters, and the
officers were instructed to keep lookout"
Sir. Hutton said that he did not know
the parties personally, but he is confident
that he can identify them if lie were to see
them. The attack was bold one, and
committed as it was in SO public a place
and almost in daylight, it is the moro re-
markable.

Things We Get from Our Forests.

1uipRS we GeL from Our FOT6SLS.
Abbot Kenney tells in Garden and For
est of the things we get from our forests
The varnish of the artist, the rubber, the
gums, the rosins of commerce, the banks of
the tanner, the corks of the vintner, the
handles of our tools, hoes, plows, etc., our
dyestuffs, our wagons, the ties and cars of
our railroads, fences and telegraph poles,
furniture, wharves, boats, ships, and in
America even the houses in which we live
are largely the product of the forest The
manufacture of matches consumes great
quantities of lumber. Charcoal and
fuel draw upon the forest; coal itself
is but fossilized wood. Nuts, fruits and
medicines also are gifts of the trees Yet it
is none the less surprising to learn that in
1880 the estimated value of our forest pro-
ducts was $500, 000,00 This is nearly
double that Of wheat, more than ten times
that of gold and silver, and forty times that
of iron,ore. But Mr.. Kenney states that
the consumption and destruction of the
forest SO far outruns its reproductive capac-
ity that at the present rate the forests will
soon disappear, and this enormous product
will end. Sucn facts serve to explain the
care Of the forests in other and older
countries. Every important state in
Europe has its forestry department., which
yields a net revenue. Saxony gets a reve-
nue. of 1925 from each acre of forest, and
Alsace-Lorraine about as much. Instruc-
ton in forestry is given in forest schools
and in Austria, Italy and France there is
considerable forest planting. Thirty years
ago the redwood belt of California con-
tanned by far the most valuable body of soft
timber in the world. But it is doomed by
the manner in which it has been treated,
and nothing can now save its forests from
determination.

< OUANG-TONG.
The Largest and Richest Province in
the Chinese Empire
From the Ne,D York Graphic.

From, the Nep York Graphic.
Kouang-T ong, which is the largest and
richest province in the Chinese Empire, is
southern part of the empire along seacoast,
and includes the city of Canton and all the
excellent harbors along that coast, and has
population of 30,000,000 people. Accord
ing to the Ere lch consul at Canton, who
has taken the trouble to investigate care
fully the characteristics of this exclusive
people, the inhabitants consist of three
races, the Pounti, Hoklo and Hakkas. The
Pounu are I most numerous and form
the class of merchants, aristo rats and
rulers. The Hoklos live almost entirely in
their boats and constitute that vast fleet (
watermen which crowds the river at Car
ton. and spreads By tens of Thousands over
every portion OF the delta. The Haklies
comprise the agricultural people of tue
province and have retired to tho northeast
of Kouang-Tong and the island of Haiwan.
They are said to represent the Chinese race
properly speaking, and the dialect is very
different from the Pounti and Hoklo races.
This province contains the busiest manu-
featuring mart in China. One Of its Incl
pal products is silk cloth, which forms SO
large staple export of the Chinese Empire.
In kouang-Tong it is carried to its most
elaborate point, and the production of all
qualities OF silk in 1887 was 100000 kllo-
grams. The exports of silk from Canton
alone were 100000 kilograms, and were
valued at $6,0O0,000. The native consump-
ton is very large, and there is no means Of
getting at the exact statistics. The great
tea producing region OF China is located in
this province. Enormous quantities are ex-
ported each year, but the government is
said 10 be leyying 50 much tax upon
the farmers at the present time that the
cultivation OF tea is diminishing. Con-
sumption has fallen Off 6,500.000 pounds
within the past five months aud the compe-
tition of India, Ceylon AID Java is result
ing in disaster both 10 the Chinese farmers
and the merchants.
Sugar cane growsin almost every part OF
kouang-Tong, and three kinds OF sugar
are largely manufactured; the red. white
and candied varieties. IL is estima ed that
the value OF the sugar raised In this province
annually exceeds that Of any other single
product Of the country. Chinese cinnamon,
