a boat of Ocean Spray, Winthrop, at IL
a. m. yesterday, l.. w. Slater was
drowned. p. +. Brown, who was in COM
pany with Mr.. Slater at the time, related
the circumstances Of the accident as fol-
lows:
"Mr. Slater, Eddie Butiney, boy, and
myself went out in q dory for the pur-
pose of fishing. We had been out per-
haps an hour when the other two saw q
lobster pot and pulled 1t into the boat.
told them to throw IL back into the wa
ter. As they did so they iurched far to
one side OF the boat, and in an instant
we were all in the water.
All could swim and we made for the
overturned boat. At the slightest touch
the dory would roll over like log, put
we continued to paddle on, with the boat
still rolling, when Mr.. Slater said he
could not keep up much longer.
Seeing something must be done quick
ly, grasped Mr.. Slater and made an ef-
fort to get into the boat as 1t lay for
moment right side up, but full OF water.
The boat rolled as before, and MIR. Slater,
in frantic plunge, got directly under
the boat as il turned, and In his exhaust

A Presbyterian divine recently visited
this city only to haveia somewhat start
ling experience. While near the Union
Depot he thought IL would be fine thing
TO shoot his kodak at a Ute squaw, but
when the squaw saw the kodak pointed
toward her she thought she was being be-
witched, and, pulling large knife from
under her apology for a dress, she made a
desperate lunge for the dominic. He saw
what was coming and dropped the kodak
in his fright and made very undignifed
dive for the other side of the street. The
squaw captured the witch instrument,
and, after demolishing IL, replaced her
knife with a satisfactory grunt and
marched triumphantly away.-Rocky

DO NOT DROWN FEMALE INFANTS
HERE.

1t Is road by 750, 900 Foochowans, caus-
ing no blush and no comment. Whyf
Because in all heathen countries women
and girls occupy low positions. The
Chinese boy succeeds his father; he In
herits his fathers property. 1t is the law
and custom In China that a mother shall
obey her eldest son, and when a Chinese
girl marries she not only oboys her hue-
band and son, but also her father in law.
A Chinese father is allowed to kill child
for disobedience, and he often does so,
and no law ever convicts him. II a child
strikes his father and that father does not
kill him on the spot, then the authorities
will take that child and not only consign
II to an ignominious death, but to slow
and awful torture. But IL a boy should
strike his mother, the father would look
on with q sort OF pride.
The Chinese >sother Is not educated.
Few OF them can read. 1t is common for
Cinnamon to have two or three wives.
When you go to his house you do not see
his wife. She does not come to the table.
She Ia a servant. A friend of mine was
invited to Chinese dinner i'm Shanghai.
He was greeted by four Cinnamon and
pretty, painted, and silly women who
begged presents OF rings and breastpins
from the guests--teased them for trinkets.
The next day he spoke OF meeting some
Chinese gentlemen and their wives.
"Wivesi" exclaimed his friend. "No,
they were not wives. They were play
things-polygamous wives, taken into
their own families with the consent OF
the down-trodden wife. Such Mormon
ism is customary among rich Chinese in
Shanghai, Canton, and Hankow, and
other large Chinese cities.--Eli Perkins,
in N. Y. Sun.

But few people know what this express

Mormon's Daughter.
SALT LAKE, Utah, Aug. IA prize
fighter, a heavy weight rival Of John l..
Sullivan, has caused a tremendous sensa-
ton In the Norman church. He stole a
Bishops daughter because he loved her.
His name IL Herbert Slade, and the
sporting fraternity OF this country know
him well.
1t was not long ago that Slade, who is
known as the Maorian fighter and the
pet of Richard X. Fox, came to this
country. Fox imported him because he
believed he was the only man who could
whip John l.. Sullivan.
Slade was a fine, bulky specimen OF
manhood, with fist like hammer head
and IL was fully believed by his admirers
that he could easily dispose Of the man
from Boston. But he proved dismal
failure, and was relegated about three
years ago to Salt Lake.
He Is now hiding from one Of the mad
dtst men in this vicinity. His name Is
Bishop John Sneazly, and he ruled over q
small agricultural town known as Nova,
about 100 miles from Salt Lake. He Is
wealthy. His only child, q girl about
eighteen years old, was recognized

journal, says that when the Duke OF
Devonshire visited the Queen last week
Her Majesty said that she relied upon his
advice to assist her in avoiding the neces-

that there was but one alternative for her
to adopt--she must either call upon Mr..
Gladstone to form a ministry or must abb

Wives I'm the Flowery King dom.

In complying with the invitation to
describe the present condition of women
in japan and China, Twill say reluctant
ly that there is no change in the status OF
women in China, because the Buddhist
religion teaches that woman should
simply be a slave to her husband. The
state of women Is so low in China that
mother prays that she may have no
female child. The birth of q female child
throws the whole family into the deepest
grief. When born IL is often put out OF
the way, and boy adopted in it's place.
The killing Of q girl baby in China Is
crime never punished. There is Catho-
lie missionary founding asylum In Cam

bring their girl babies and abandon them

BOUND TO BE A FIGHT.
Allegheny Presbytery May Convict
Rev. Joseph Baussman of
PREACHING HERETICAL DOCTRINE.
The Case Will Then Be Appealed to the
General Assembly.
HIS FRIENDS WILL RALLY AROUND HIM

On Tuesday, April IL, the Allegheny
Presbytery of the Presbyterian Church, W i'll
meet at Beaver, Pa, and the session prom
ises to be one of the hveliest ever held by
that body. The case of Rev. Joseph Bauss
man will be disposed of and the organize
tion will it is expected divide itself in an
intellectual discussion of heresy and its
symptoms
Rev. Joseph Baussman is pastor of the
: Presbyterian Church, of Rochester, Pa.
He is young man of recognized ability
and is charged with entertaining at least
advanced ideas in religious matters. He is
the son of Editor Baussman, formerly of
Washington, Pa, and his congregation has
been, to an extent, divided on his views
ever since the famous Briggs trial attracted
the attention of the Church and the people
over year ago. AT that time Rev. Bauss-
man was charged by some of the orthodox
members of the congregation with holding
Briggs views and preaching the New York
mans principles. His congregation gave
him a trial, but before a verdict was re-
turned the case was referred to a commit
fee. The committee was headed by the Rev.
John Fox, d. ID. pastor of the North Presby-
terian Church. Allegheny. This committee
determined to review Rev. Mr.. Baussman's
work, which it is alleged they have been
doing rigidly ever since their appointment
They will report their finding to the Pres
bytery at its Beaver meeting, and Rev. Mr..
Baussman is confident that the report will
be against him. The members of the In
Sestigating Committee refuse to say what
their investigation developed or what their
report would contain. 1t has reached Rev.
Mr.. Baussman, however, that the report
will be against him, which, if adopted, will
relieve the minister of his charge.
s'The report, if it really is against Bauss-
man, will not be adopted by the Presby-
terry without a lively fight" said a member
Of the Presbytery yesterday, land even if it
is adopted the case will be carried up to the
General Assembly. In this case it will
attract as much attention as did the famous
Briggs case. In the anticipated fight L am
now confident the people who are opposing
the Rochester minister and who will
be led by DR.. Fox will have
an easy majority in the Presbytery, but the
other side will have several able and elo-
quent advocates who will fight to fnish,a as
they say in sporting parlance.
''The gravest charge against Rev. Bauss-
man is his sympathy with Briggs, and a |
canvass of the members of the Presbytery |
would prove that he is not alone in that po- |
with him and all of such will be expected to |
come to his defense at the approaching |
hearing
The trouble in Rev. Baussman's church |
has been attracting more or less attention |
for year, and the indications are that it |
will attract much more attention for some |
time to come.
