To the Celestials no relics are more
valuable than the boots that have been
worn by a magistrate. If he resigns
and leaves the city we are told a crowd
accompanies him from his residence to
the gates, where his boots are drawn
of with great ceremony, TO be pre-
served in the hall of justice. This is
the o easy to believe when we re
member that John Chinaman is rather
ceremonious on occasion with respect
TO wearing his own boots. In his be
lief that there is nothing like old boots
the Chinese is not peculiar.
Relic hunters have discovered that
hidden away for the most part in the
family museums of great houses
there are boots and shoes treasured for

boots and antique shoes threatens TO

tes were i'm great demand, as all the
villagers had rheumatism, and the
tighter the plasters stuck the better
they we're held to be. had with me

diseases come from dirty habits, but
one can never persuade them Of the
necessity of keeping clean. A friend of

ever known in this region. Mr.. FL. G.
Frick, owner of the Mammoth No. I,
the scene of the terrible explosion, has
been in almost constant communication
with his representatives at the pit, cince
Tuesday. afternoon. Mr.. Frick says
that he has private information to the
effect that up to an early hour Of the
morning 1O3 bodies had been removed
from the shaft. Mr.. Frick says that in
all there were 100 men working in the
mine at the time of the accident, that
nine escaped with their lives, some Of
them badly injured, the rest, or

This horror has cast gloom over the

ing country. All night the workmen
made their appearance with appalling
regularity at the mouth of the shaft,
bearing between them the mutilated re-
mains of one or more of the victims.
The majority of those killed were
Slavs, and to hear the lamentations Of
the poor creatures who were thus bereft
of protector was heart rending. The

ALABAMA MINE RIOTS.

Negroes Shot Down Indiscriminately-
Troops Called Out.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Feb. 2.-The riots
at Carbon Hill are still in progress, and
two companies of state troops have been
ordered to the scene by Governor Jones.
There was more bloodshed Sunday, but
it is impossible to learn its extent. Not
less than eight or ten negroes have been
killed, and possibly more. Anumber Of
white men who were concerned in the
shooting have banded together and defy
arrest. The negroes, so far as can be
learned, have made no resistance, and
no white men are reported killed or in
jured. Eight hundred to 1000 miners
are employed at the Carbon Hill mines,
and only 125 of them are negroes.
Nearly all reports agree that negroes
have been shot down without provoca-
ton. Dispatches from Carbon Hill at
midnight say that the men who were
defying arrest have announced that they
will surrender to the sheriff.
