the photographs of q handsome woman

child's. With all his faults Ward was
a devoted husband and q loving father.
What memories must have rushed

tend back over his entire time Of service, and
thus when Parmenter retired from office
three years ago it was held that he owed the

had retained as compensation. Under to-
days decision this must be returned to I'm.
Gle Sam Parmenter will also be prosecuted

Marshal Andrew Dillon of Haughville Ind,
was shot and mortally wounded. The negroes
had a big dance and were all drunk. One OF
them named Peter Carpenter got into q row
with Patrick Horn, an %lrishman, and Horn
was cut with a razor. This victory made
the negroes hilarious, and they started out
to take the town. Marshal Andrew Dillon
was called, and in company with Andy Moore
attempted to quell the disturbance. They
placed one man and woman unde arrest and
started with them to the station, when they
were attacked by the whole mob, the mem
bers brandishing knives and razors. They
soon began firing their revolvers, and about
thirteen shots in all were fred, one of them
taking effect in the marshaps hack on the
let side just below the ribs and about two
iuches from the backbone passing through
his body and lodging just under the skin Of
his abdomen 1t passed throuh the spleen
and intestines and is necessarily fatal.

Chinese do nearly everything con-
trary to the way it is done in this
country. We shake hands with each
other; the Chinaman shakes hands
with himself. We uncover the head
as a mark of respects; the Chinaman
not only keeps his head covered but
pulls off his shoes If he wishes to be
very polite.
We shave the face; they the head
and eye brows. We cut our finger
nails; they consider it aristocratic to
have nails from five inches to a foot
in length. The Chinaman's shirt is
worn outside his trousers. We blacken.
our shoes; he whitens them. We want
wine ice-cold; the Chinaman drinks
his scalding hot. We bury in the
earth; they on the surface. With us
black clothing is badge OF mourning;
in China white garments indicate the
loss of friends, In that land OF oppo-
sites II is the old men who Nv kites.

fire crackers and play shuttle-cock.
and to keep up their odd ways Of do
ing things they play the latter with
their feet instead of their hands. In
China women do what we consider
mems work, and the men are the mill
liners. dressmakers and washer
women. With US the right hand is
the place of honor; with them it is
the left. We live, cook and eat on the
ground floor and sleep up stairs; with
the Chinaman the reverse Is the rule.
In dating letters we write the year
last; they place it first. In speaking
OF compass they always say it points
south. We pay our doctor when We
are sick; they pay as long rs they
remain we'll, but as soon as they get
sick the pay stops. Here men kill
their enemies; q Chinaman gets re-

William Parkinson night foreman of the
Butte, Mont, reduction works, was found
lying in the concentrating room. terribly
mangled and in q dying condition. When
found the body was near the line shaft,
where he had evidently received his death
wound. 1t is supposed his clothing caught
in the Skating. He died Don after discov-
cry. Both legs had been broken and a terri
BILE hole had been cut in his side. He was
about thirty years of age and unmarried.
Between five and six thousand people were
present at theopening OF Fairview Park, near
indianapolis. During the afternoon a terri
BILE rain and wind storm came up from the
northwest, and n large lumber sought shell
ter under a car shed. While they were thus
huddled together u violent gust OF wind lifted
the shed from the supports and turned it
around, the edge falling to the ground and
seriously injured five persons.
A tornado passed west ofCorneIl, Ill. Four
people ware probably fatally injured and
several others slightly hurt. The storm
struck the house OF S. Plymire, tearing it to

Bradley were unroofed, outbuildings de-
stroyed and Vincamp and Bradley slightly

The rescuing party has not yet reached the
entombed miners ut Dunbar, Pa., They ore
working hard, but no one knows how far
they have got to go yet, as they arc as much
in the dark now as at any time. They may
reach the men now in q few hours, and it may
be days before the Hill farm mine is broken
into. Hope has given away to despair. 1t
is now seven days since the disaster, and few
if any, expect to find the men alive. An ap-
peal for aid was sent out. The miners ami
lies are in destitute circumstances. and con-
tributions will be thankfully received.
