SLAVE CATCHING IN CHINA

The Traffic in Women and Children stira
Carried On.
While il most parts of the world, eis-
cept Africa, slave catching is beconine
thing of the past, the practice is stitb
carried on to some entent in Tonlsiu iu
spite of the efforts of the French TO put
an end to it, The slaves who are want
ed there are only women and children
Slave dealers find women and children
In the forests, away from the villages,
drag them into the mountains and seIp
them to Chinese merchants, who carry
them into some of the western prov
tnoee OF China and sell them to ricin
families. This odious traffic began
about twenty-five years ago. Formerly
Tonkinese women were almost uur-
known in China. The practice OF ax-
porting them as slaves came abou4 i1a
this way:
In 1865 the Chinese soldiers who In
vaded Tonkin, which was in reuols
against China, found themselves enc,anh-
bered by prisoners taken from the
Tonl<inese. They did not know what
TO do with the prisoners but at last de-
cided to ship them to China and see ia
they. could not sell them. 1t was at.
this time that immigration agenciess
were recruiting in China thousands Oh
workmen to toll on the Gllano islands
Of Chilli. The hundreds of male priss--
oners were easily disposed Of to these
emigration agents, and the women and
children who were among the ut.-
fortunates were sold to well-to-dg
Chinese.
This opened a new trade, although "a
iirst it was not easy to sell the women
because wealthy families did not vdsts

.LAMD or THE AFTERNOON. =

The grny ie over the gold, the earth
Has robcd her IN fading fitness,
And we're not as young as We used 70 be,
Alas for the mirrors witness.
And condor. within our secret soul
Albeit With some lamenting,
Oompele 10 the faithful mirrors charge
A silent and sod assenting.
We can not dance es once we did
TIL the small hours OF the morning;
We DO not stond at the garden gute
The chill OF evening scorning
We core no more for the jingiing bells
Once held In such high favor;
Tho games that once we held so dear
Are like salt without its SAVIOR.
The long long walks 'neGth the slSies OF June
In the moonlight calm nnd stiliy,
The mountain climb in the August noon
With Margaret or Lily
We loved them we'll and memory
Will newer through life forsake them<
But we'd rather sit In our easy chairs
And let our children take them
We Hike TO hear their voices ring
Over croQuet or tennis;
We like to see them ride or row,
Whatever skies may menaca
But we DO not grieve that we have passed
Beyond these youthful pleasures;
That our steadter pulses now keep time
TO saowos, stateiter measures.
We've known the Joys Of the morning land.
Glorious, gay and tender;
We've stood on The midday heights amid
Tho harveetss ample splendoF,
Now She lengthened roys OF the westering ssin
Shed their milder fervor DER us,
Apd the sweet fair land OF the afternoon
Spreads tts mellow grace before "a
Its purple peace crowned mountains raee
Wrapped In tho hazy distance;
fte restful lsbors beokon us,
With geotSe, Wise insistence
We will enter In to the calm soir land,
Loved q tho priest and poet;
Fur we're not as young as we used 10 be,
And, whot se more, we know it.
But we,ve won from the land OF the far sway
Some treasure OF truth and duty,
Some sweetness and light we've lived 70 bless
The present with Joy and beauty.
We've learned the worth of the human hesxt,
The bliss Of loving and giving
| So mosn or midday or efternoon,
We've found life worth the living

A RACE COURSE STUDY.

that the chariot race yesterday was wit
messed by 5000 people. This was only at
the race track. 1t was big enough crowd
there, But it was only half.
The different halls, the museums and
the restaurants were only visible by chance
when a sightseer pushing about in the
crowd happened to run across them. The
people thoroughly filled the grounds 1t
was not less crowded outside the exhibits
than it was in them. Everywhere was a
push. An observer to see the amphitheatre
and race track would judge that the people
were all there: to see the exhibits that
they were all there. but there were so
many adults present that the whole school
population of Sedgwick county was lost
in the multitude The merry-go-round

day; it whirled from morning until

sellers were working. heart and soul, and

One thing that characterized Friday
which was not noticeble on any previous
day and was at once indicative OF the
great gathering was the multi
tude of farm wagons ortside
the fence. Hundreds and hundreds
of these stood just outside the grounds,
some of them for the reason that it saved
money at the gate, and some for the
reason that there was no room OF the in
side
All along the fence in the grounds,
teams in great numbers Every post, tel
eCraph pole and tree was doing ten times
its duty as sometimes Is high as eight
buggies were tied TO ore pole. This OBJ
tained the entire ground over. A good
place 10 tie was a. premium all after
noon. Every little vacant spot that was
vehicles bredth was quickly snatched up,
until finally the quarter stretch was the
only place left
At oclock sight was TO be witnessed
that has never been eeualled in Wichita or
in Kansas before. At this time the
crowd had pretty thoroughly
flied up the grounds In the quarter
stretch buggies stretched away a half
mile side 10 side and part the distance,
four and five deep. The amphitheatre was

fares excelled the balmiest circus
day ever known. The walks were
packed to the gutter. Market street came
in for its share of the pedestrians and was
also chock full. Every fresh morning
train would turn out new stream of peo-
pie that in a solid moving mass would
penetrate up town. This kept up until
afternoon and, notwithstanding the drain
on the crowd from the fair grounds, the
streets were unusually lively all afternoon.
The arrivals were simply stupendous. The
man who had prophesied that Thursday
was the big day and would not be equaled
saw the great volume of strangers and
went and hid himself in a gimlet hole.
Thursday was no comparison with Fri
day. The threatening clouds of Thursday
morning had kept the visitors
away, not from the whole fair,
but for only one day. They
decided to come Friday and they did. The
result can be seen. The proverbial capac-
ity of the street car, which is always large
enough to hold just one more, was taxed
to its very uttermost. The jams of the
open windows were grasped in the elbow
crook and some held on in that way.
Small boys spraddled the couplings. In
all the cars there were twice as many pass
engers on their feet as there were seated.
This kept up all morning. Superinten-
dent Fitch and Fred Sweet, with a corps
of able-lunged assistants, worked like
beavers, filling uD the cars in a jiffy and
sending them off in hurry. The electric
cars have proven themselves the superior
motor for transportation in cases
of jams Loaded down with all
that could be put on, they
sailed up or down in good style, making
good time and punctual connections on
switches The dynamoes at the power
house whirred away all day and sent the
electrical strength into the trolley wire
that had so much depending on it.
About o'clock the crush at the fair
grounds gate was a sight. A couple of ex-
ira policemen had TO be stationed outside
to put the crowd in line so it could pass
through the entrance ID order. The ticket

ures of the fair this week. 1t was the baby
show. The fair officers at o'clock sent
couriers through the great crowd to
notify the people that this contest would
take place promptly at O'Clock.
OF course Mr.. Thomas Shaw was in
charge of the show. Long before the hour
had arrived the seats which were reserved
for the contestants were occupied aud in a
circle sat forty mothers with their babies
upon their laps, awaiting the time to draw
near with an anxiety that was very per-
ceptible. There in the circle sat the inno-
cent babes in all their sweetness and beauty.
The babies were all the prettiest ana il was
after long and mature deliberation Of the
judges before the lucky one was decided
upon The dear little creatures wore their
best smiles, and it was indeed touching to
note the maternal anxiety for the little
ones with which each mother regarded her
little offspring. The three lady judges
finally agreed upon the one they consid-
cred the handsomest. announcing the
lucky little dear to be the bright and
blooming baby of Mrs. Joseph Christman
OF 40 South Topeka avenue, to whom was
awarded the handsome Domestic sewing
machine, by Thos. Shaw. The decision
caused some of the mothers who had their
babies there to feel a little hurt, but then
Of course the prize could not be awarded
to everyone. The decision was regarded a.

crowding, jamming, jostling, elbowlng,
shouting and shaking the welkiu with the
confusion of their talk laughter and gen
eral gayety In point of numbers, the
earliest hour yesterday morning presaged
day of unequalled attendance. Every
farm in Sedgwick county almost sent out
Its emissaries, which in every case left
no one at home not even the
dogs for they came trottjng in under the
wagons with the rest. The trains coming
into the city had people on the blind-bag-
gage, people hanging on the car-steps, peo-
pie three IN a seat and standing up in the
aisles. The pavements were covered with
farm vehicles and the sidewalks with
stranger from ont of the city. There was
a rustic of gaily dressed women and
hustle of men on pleasure and business
bent alike. Nobody was moving slowly.
Everything was done with speed and dis
patch, and strangers predominated. The
Wichita man was not in it, He felt like
meeting an old acquaintance when he
recognized face on the street. Douglas

Side, and is the largest spring wagon
mandatory west of the Mississippi river.
Raffety & Co. of West Douglas avenue
have a very handsome display, occupying
the left half of the tent. This display
consists of a fine phaeton, cut under
surray, extension top carriages, top
buggies, carts, sulkeys and Implements.
To give the public some idea of the beau
tiful display it will be of interest to say
that they carried off seventeen of the blue
ribbons and diplomas, also the SIS offered
for the grandest display of carriages, bug
gies and implements.
Mr.. Z. G. Raffety is one of the best car
riage men in the west, having been in the
business eighteen years, and only handles
a good quality and knows good rig when
he sees il. He has now selected one of the
finest lot of buggies and carriages ever
shown in Wichita, and the display at the
fair grounds far exceeds anything
ever shown in that line before
on beauty, style and durability,
so it is claimed by the exhibitors. The

The display made by j. I. Case Plow
works of Racine, Wise. IS an interesting
one to farmers. They occupy a tent of
their own. Their display consists of plows,
harrows, cultivators, listers, drills and
other farm implements of their make. One
of their specialties is the Triumph Gang
plow and the l6 in. A. A plow The ex-
hibit is in charge of r. B. Pollard and o.
G. Cation of this city.
The exhibit gotten up BY the
different wagon and carriage COM
panies of this city is very
creditable one. 1t occupies the large tent
in the northwest part of the grounds.
Three companies have displays here. The
first to the right is the Kansas Spring
Wagon company of Wichita, who have
the finest exhibit of spring wagons ever
shown in the state 1t comprises every
style in general use that is known TO be
among the best combinations. The first
premium was awarded them on each
style entered for premium. There was
quite variety of painting, one of which
was decidedly unique. The generosity
of the Kansas Spring Wagon company is
quite conspicuous in the gift of one very
fine spring wagon, Duplex style, as
special premium for the best load of white
corn. Mr. G.. W. Miller of Wichita
nights was the lucky man and got the
wagon. Another interesting feature was
the guessing bee for a spring wagon top.
About three thousand guesses were made
up to Friday evening. This institution is
