THE CHINESE HlGHBlNDERs.
A Powerful OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Ritci
ut limitations.

paper on Highbinders and Their
Methods" was read at tho meeting of the
Methodist ministers recently, by the
Rev. +. ]. Masters, Superintendent Of the
Chinese Mission. The paper was Of I'M
usual interest.
The name highlander is said to have
been used by a policeman in court, and
had no Significance whatever. but the term
tickled the public and is now part of the
English language. Tho true name of these
rufIlans in Chinese means "Hatchet Boys"
the peculiar appropriateness Of which title
is at once apparent. The highbinders
trace their organization back several CEN
turtles. They claim to be n part of the as
ISOLATION known in China as the Triad So
ciety. The founders OF this society were
some Buddhist monks. They put down
the rebellion in Quong 81 Province and
were offered rewards in titles and estates
by the Government. They refused the re-
wards. Afterwards the Manchu soldiers
became Jealous Of tho monks; the Govern
ment also became suspicious and accused
the powerful monks OF treason. monaS-
terry was blown up, and only five out of 12S
monks escaped alive. Those five became
the founders of the Triad Society. The
vow of the members is that they shall
never rest until the present reigning dyn-
asty is overthrown and the Ming native
dynasty is restored to the Dragon throne.
900, and still includes many who have no
sympathy with the diabolical practices
which made the name terror. It has an
elaborate initiatory ceremony-signs,
grips. words and tokens, by which its
members may recognize each other and
hold communication. Within the society
is a military organization of salaried SOL
diers. who are bound by the most solemn
oaths to execute orders, even to killing
those who fall under its ban.
The late Tie Ping rebellion was insti-
gated by TriadS, and after ten years dura-
ton was suppressed by the late Gen. Cor
don. The rebels fed abroad to save their
necks and started the Chez Kung Tong.
At that time one of the rituals fell into the
hands Of Police Sergeant Price and has
been translated by Mr.. Masters. From it
and from two converted Chinese who had
passed to the honor Of grand officers in
the society he derived his knowledge.
Some of the initiation ceremonies of this
society are interesting. A candidate pricks
his finger until the blood flows into a cup
of wine. This cup is passed around the
assembly to be slipped, so that a blood fell
lowship may be established. The candi-
date swears eternal loyalty to the society
in thirty-five different oaths, during which
ceremony ROSTERS head is cut of, and
while the blood flows the candidate i'm
precates death upon b. Tself should ne
prove a traitor. Another te is that Of the
candidate crawling under a table upon
which is seated directC who is called
Mother" This ceremony is to represent
the candidate being born again. A GER
tain twist Of the cue marks a member Of
the highlander societies.-San Francisco

Queer world! Queer people! Here are
men and women by thousands suffering
from all sorts of diseases, bearing all
manners of pain, spending their all on
physicians and getting no better, but
rather worse" when right at hand
there's a remedy which says it can help
them because it's helped thousands like
them. another patent medicine ad-
vertisement you say. Yes-but not of
the ordinary sort. The medicine is DR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, and
its different from the ordinary nostrums
in this:-
1t does what it claims to do, or it costs
you nothing!
The way is this: You pay your drug
gist $1.00 for a bottle. You read the di.
rections and you follow them. You get
better, or you don't. If you do, you buy
another bottle, and perhaps another. II
you don't get better, you get your money
back. And the queer thing is that sc
many people are willing to ha sick wher
the remedy's SO near at hand.

The deepest measurement ever taken in
the Atlantic we're made by the Challenger
Expedition eighty miles north of the Virgin
Islands, the depth at that point being
p, $50 feet, S.s76 fathoms. or about four and
b half miles.
The deepest soundings over taken In the
Pacific, or. in fact, any place on the globe,
prior to 1890 were made in 1888 in the vi
cinity Of the Ladrome Islands, in north
latitude twelve degrees and four minutes,
east longitude 143 degrees and sixteen
minutes, whore the depth was found to be
&c. $50 feet, 4,475 fathoms, or about five miles.
In juno 1890, the United States Survey
vessel Tuscarora, while trying to deter
mine the practicability Of a cable route to
Japan from the western coast of the United
States. discovered remarkable depres-
sion on the west coast of the country
first named, the basin being known to the
geographers Of the expedition as the
"Tuscarora Deep Tho first sounding
made was on June IL, when 1927 fathoms
Of wire were run out. A few days later
they found what Is now considered the
maximum depth of the Pacific, 4,655
fathoms, or 1880 feot.-Harper's Young

RARDSLEY'S RASCALlTY.
HIS Home In Germantown Purchased
With Public Money.

HIS Home In Germantown Purchased
With Public Money.
PHILADELPHIA. June 29.-One of the
most interesting and important discov-
cries made by the mayors experts, who
are re-overhauling city books and Bards-
ley's papers to test the truth of the ex-
city treasurer's defense made in court,
besrs ON the purchase Of the house in
Germantown. The house was purchased
with public money.
In his pathetic statement read before
Judge Wilson about his frugal life OF
self denial, Bardsley said that the pur-
chase price-$2Q, 000-represented his
wiie's savings of her 10-cent pieces and
his savings from all outside sources.
Mr. Graham will be able to show when
Bardslsy is brought up for sentence that
instead of being bought with Mrs. Bards-
ley's 1ocent pieces, the house was paid
for with cheek drawn against public
money. The experts will be ready for
Mr.. Graham in day or two.

ALL EYES ON CARLOW.
The Parnell MCCARTHY Contest In that
County Arouses Interest.

The Parnell- MCCARTHY Contest In that
County Arouses Interest.
LONDON, June 29-During the course
of the next 10 days the County Carlow
will be the point Of political interest to
which all eyes will be turned.
Carlow is the smallest county in the
Kingdom, being only 30 miles long by 90
miles broad 1t contains a population of
upward of $4,000 and an electorate of
7,212, n Thousand of whom are Tories.
Mr.. Hammond, the candidate put for
ward by the Mccarthy faction, is prom
inent and popular merchant Of the town
of Carlow, and has been for 10 years
chairman of the Town Commissioners,
which during that time has beeu a
model of municipal government 1t is the
only town in Ireland which is lighted by
electricity.
Mr.. Andrew Kettle, who is Mr.. Par
nelPs nominee, is stranger in the
county, and is tenant farmer in the
County Dublin. He contested unsuc-
cessfully division of Cork at the gen
eral election in 1880
The towns are for Mr. Parnell, but
the rural districts are believed to be In
clined to the Mccarthy party.
The Tories of the district will vote for
Mr.. Parncll if they vote at all.
There is significant fact, to which
Mr.. Parnelrs recent marriage has con-
tributed, that two prominent priests
have declared for him, while the McCar
thy ties are far less confident than they
were at the recent elections.
They will certainly miss Mr.. Michael
Davitt's tremendous energy and wide
spread influence at the polls.

The Young Noblcmnn Expected In New
York Tomorrow.
NEW YORK, June 29.-Prince George of
Greece is expected to arrive in New York
from San Francisco to-day or to-mor-
row, and will remain here until Satur-
day, the Fourth of July, when he will
sail on the Servia for Liverpool. The
Prince arrived In San Francisco on
Tuesday by the steamship Gaelic from
Yokohama, to which port he was carried
by the Russian gunboat Kolatz from
VIadivostock. There he left the Care
witch, after accompanying him on his
tour around the world, and distinguish
ing himself by defending the heir to the
Russian throne from the Japanese assas-
sin near Toxic.
The Greek consul at this port. Demet-
RUS n. Botass, with the managers OF the
large Greek cotton exporting firm of
Ralli Brothers and other prominent
Greeks will give dinner to Prince
George at Delmoaico's. As he is OF /.
quiet and retiring disposition, it is prob
able that but few guests will be asked to
attend. A visit will be made by him to
the mayor and other city officers, and
the principal places of interest in the
city will be viewed.
Commander Lomen of the Russian
Navy accompanies the Prince, who is just
twenty-five years old, as his naval in
structor, and under his guidance the
royal visitor will easily make himself at
home in New York, as the Commander
has been in this city before. From here
they will proceed Immediately to ST.
Petersburgh. where the mother of the
Prince, the daughter of the Grand Duke
Constantine, is to meet him. The Gear
has desired personally to thank the
Prince for his aid to the Czarevitch
when the latter was murdereusly attacked
and it is for this reason that the visit will
he made.
Prince George is said to be of striking
appearance, six feet two inches in Ii eli hit,
and to have a taste for athletics He
holds the position of Lieutenant in the
Greek Navy, to which he was appointed
on the 9th of last July, being at the head
Of the torpedo department, in which
branch of the service he is reported to
have attained much efficiency. So far
his parents have signified no desire for
him to marry.

Paper Barrels.

English manufacturers Of paper barrels
have brought that industry to such q de-
gree OF perfection as to rival, in quality
and economy Of cost. the ordinary wooden
articles in great variety Of uses, the ma
terials employed in the making Of these
barrels being. for the most part, waste pa
per, cardboard. and-for the better quail
ity-old sacks. In the use Of cardboard,
the material is soaked or boiled for six
hours, and, after careful sorting, 1t is put
into rag engine or bcater, where it is
beaten or torn to pieces by a series Of
knives for about an hour and half, being
afterward mixed with water until a pulp
of uniform consistency Is gained; this Is
rollod, Joined, shaped, and dried, and the
barrel is finally covered with hoops Pre-
vious to the putting In OF the tops and
bottoms the barrels are painted with q
waterproof composition made of nnseed
oil and rosin for ordinary purpose bar
rels, and with a special varnish for those
in which food articles are to be placed.
The standard size made is sixteen and one
half inches in diameter by twenty-eight
inches long, and, whereas a barrel made
OF wood Is found to cost thirty-four cents,
the paper barrel is produced for about six
cents less. The process provides that all
waste be beaten up into pulp again.-N.

The Premier's remarks were greeted
with loud cheers from all except the Elk
treme Left.
Later in the discussion the Radicals
construed as offensive some illusions by
Signor MARITIME. Angry Radicals sprang
from their seats with violent gestures,
drowning the voice of the speaker with
shouts.
SiSnor Cavallotti rushed at MARITIME,
and weuld have struck him but for the
interference of friends. The utmost
confusion prevailed, members acting in
the widest manner.
The president of the Chamber, after
vainly attempting to restore order, was
obliged TO suspend the sitting in order to
let members come to their senses.
When the Chamber was called together
again the president appealed for con
cord, and was Joined in the appeal by
Cavallotti, senior member of the
Chamber and Bovio, Radical. The three
speakers were each greeted with cheers.
