recommended it first to the Japanese.
Reason and good sense have never proved
such strong foundations other wise the ad-

corpses would have occurred long ago. IL is
useless to objecE that these precautions do
not preserve Japan from cholera epidemics.
The disease is kept up there by causes which

houses are built In unhealthy places ;
they are squalid and in every way
tnsalubrious; the water is wretched -,

end if we tried TO enumerate all the causes
Of disease, which render the wisest precau-
tons useless. None Of these causes exist in
! our western countries, and the cremation OF
cholera corpses would have yielded its whole
sanitary benefit. If we burned our corpses
the bacillus would be destroyed effectively ;
In Japan the objections of the living, oon-
terminating the we'll water, the system OF
promscuous bathing, ETC., keep 1t alive in

II. Let the drinking water be perfectly

be disinfected with quicklime or common
whitewash. This Is, by the way, what Prof.
Koch recommended to the central sanitary
board Of Japan.

CHINESE JUSTICE.
The Prompt Mode of Procedure in the
Elowery Kingdom.

The Prompt Mode of Procedure In the
Flowery Kingdom.
In many respects the Chinese are a
most rational and practical race, though
their ways are not those of western
peoples London Truth relates an in
cident that is characteristic of Chinese
methods in government. During the
recent ''anti-foreign-devil" riot at some
place between Tong-Tu and Kaiping,
the mob destroyed 4 good length of the
railway that had recently been carried
through the district.
The local mandarin, instead of using
the forces under him to quell the riot,
sent the soldiers to assist in the evil
work. The entertainments were leveled
for some distance and the rails thrown
into the river, and an attempt was
made to destroy the bridges. Mr.. Kin
der, the head engineer of the line, laid
the state of the case before the toatoi
of Tientsin, who is the head director of
the undertaking. The toatoi sent for
the mandarin.
To please yourself and your friends, ;
said he, you have destroyed the rail-
way track. To please me you will put
it back just as it was before. If, in one
month from to-day, the trains are not
running as before, you lose your head,
and your family and ancestors are dis
graccd.
Mr.. Kinder estimates the damage
and loss by nonrunning of trains at fifty
thousand taels, which surA you will have
to pay out of your funds to the company
For labor all your officials, soldiers
and townsfolks will work as you direct,
receiving no money for their labor, and
all salaries are stopped until the repairs
are complete. I shall appoint a board
of punishcrs to return with you, with
power to torture aud imprison anyone
who makes the least disturbance or
trouble"
The mandarin begged for mercy on
the plea that, as the country was all I'M
der water, he could not possibly get
mud and stone whcrewith to build the
entertainments. The toatoi saw the
force of this plea and he said he would
give him q chance.
He could pull down any OF his forts
that he liked in order to provide ma
terial for the repair of the railway, and
he would give him three months after
the railway was completed to rebuild
his forts at his (the mandarin's) own
expense.
In less than three weeks the trains
were running again, and the mandarin
and his agents are now rebuilding the
forts.

Travellers and scientists are greatly
interested in the recent discovery of
wonderful caves on the island Of Corsi-
ca. A miner who undertook to explore
them few weeks ago found it impos-
sible to do so. He discovered various
small caves, close together, which led
to mammoth cave some distance from
the original openings. The roof of the
mammoth cave was between sixty and
seventy feet high. After travelling
underground for some time he came
upon an immense lake, which made
further progress impossible. Accord
ing to his estimates the lake is situated
under the mountain chain La Revellata,
near Calva, and it gets its water from
the ocean. In support Of his theory q
small grotto was discovered on Cape
Revellata, on Il level with the sea,
which is believed to be connected with
the caves. The length of the caves
along the coast is estimated at thirty
miles. A society of savants has been
formed to explore the place thor
oughly.

THE MARKERT MURDER.
Police Confident that They Will SooA
UnraVel tho Mystery.

Police Confident that They Will sooA
Unravel tho Mystery.
MIDDLErowN, N. Y, Jan. 25.- The
authorities are confident that they will
be able to unravel the mystery of the
killing of George Markert. An examina-
ton of the body, which, as told Satur-
day, was found in the Callicoon River,
shows that the murder was most afro
cious. There are five pistol shot wounds
in the head and neck, the skull is frac-
tured, apparently by a blow with club,
and there is ragged, gaping wound in
the neck, where an attempt had been
made to cut the victims throat with a
dull knife.
Three persons are under arrest for the
murder. They are Adam Heidi, brother
of Markets. first wife, and his two sons,
Joseph and John Heidi.
The alleged motive for the murder is a
bitter enmity on the part of the Heidts
toward Markert, growing out of family
quarrels about property and the ingnor
ance and superstition of the elder Heidi,
who is said not to be of sound mind.
1t is said that Adam Heidi has long
believed that Markert was possessed of
the evil eye, and that he had bewitched
Heidt's cows so that they should meet
with accidents and at times would refuse
to give milk. and that Markert had in
other ways injured and damaged him in
person and property by his black arts.
The sons are believed to have shared
in their fathers enmity, and perhaps to
some extent in his delusions. It'll thought
that the sons were the actual per-
petrators of the crime.

The Work Of the Creator as
Seen In Our Solar System.

Almost every day it is our privilege to
stand in the presence of death; We believe
that the horrid idea we have OF death
exists only in the Imagination. There Is
ALWAYS 10Y at every birth even i'll the
midst of poverty there is secret joy. why
ia il not reasonable to think and hope That
in the phenomena of death there is new
BIRTH And if so, why not JOY in the new
life? While inventory is going on i'll the
mercantile world, and while we are re
ioicinV over our own little achievements,
Il enlarges the mind to look at the work OF
the Great Architect as seen i'll our solar
system. The sun stands in The center,
around which are six other worlds. The
nearest is Mercury, which is 3i,OOO, OOO
miles from the sun; the next IL venus,
which is 81, 000, 900 miles; the next is our
Earth, which is %, 900, 900 miles; the next
Mars. which is l34, 900, 900 miles from the
snn. the fifth is Jupiter, which is 551 ,OOO,-
900 miles: the sixth is Saturn, which is
163 900. 900 miles from the sun. We
wonder if they ARE taking Inventory up
there. II they will throw us line Edison

derful progress made on South Main

The marvellous success of the Waterbury

mighty intellects of western Connecticut
in this dire ton. All our neighbors live
and flourish. This is because we have

Every customer brings us new one.

When the VIII Turns Up.
HAMBURG, Conn, Jan. 25.-The finding
of the will of Abram Mosher by two
hunters at Dark Hollow, three miles east
of here, while trying to get at nest of
gray squirrels in the trunk of hollow
tree, has caused a big sensation here and
has averted a lawsuit. The hunters
found among the leaves and pieces of
bark of which the nest was composed
some scraps of paper with writing on
them, several handkerchiefs, bits of
ribbon and numberless fragments of
Irvine.
The pieces of paper proved to be the
Photographic will of Abram Mosher a
farmer living near Dark Hollow, who
died in the early part of last summer.
Mosher through inheritance and through
thrift and frugality was worth at the
time of his death more than $75, 900. He
was not married and had no direct heirs.
During the six years prior to his death
he was an almost hopeless paralytic.
When he was stricken he tried to get one
OF his relatives to live with him. All
refused, so he got young man named
George Applebee to operate his farm and
care for him.
Applebee attended to the wants Of
Mosher faithfully until he died. A few
days before the old man passed away he
told Applebee that he had made a will
in which he had given him his entire es-
tate, and he asked Applebee to bring
him the will, which he would find in the
drawer of the bureau in Mosher's bed
room. Applebee did so, and Mosher went
over it carefully to see that it read just
as he wanted it to.
Applebee carried the will back. He
had just reached the bedroom when he
heard a cry from Mosher calling him
back and he hurriedly threw the will on
a table that stood near an open window.
Mosher had taken a sudden turn for the
worse. Applebee found him unconscious,
and he never rallied. When Applebee
went to look for the will it was gone.
He searched every nook and Granny, out
could get no trace of it.
AS soon as MoshNr was dead his rela-
tives, children of a second cousin, APP
peared on the scene and laid claim to the
estate Applebee told the story of the
will and refused to vacate the farm, all
the time keeping up a search for the will.
He was finally elected, however, and the
cousins took possession. There We're
persons who had heard Mosher say that
he intended to give his property to Ap
plebee, and on the strength of their ties
timony Applebee was preparing to make
Il fight when the will was found. When
the fragments of the document were
placed together it was found complete,
though badly stained. The cousins have
already relinquished the farm.

ACROSS THE BRIDGE.
FATHER o'NEILL's LECTURE.
An Interesting Discourse on Reading,
Why, What, How and When.


The basement of st Patrick's church
was crowded last night with large au-
dience, who listened for nearly two
hours to the lecture delivered BY the
Rev j. L. O'Neill, o. P, the eloquent
Dominican preacher.
The subject was Reading Why, What,
How and When" and it was treated in
a manner that was not only interesting,
but highly instructive. Father O'Neili
condemned in an emphatic manner the
sensational literature of the day and
spoke of the immoral tone of the weekly
story papers which are read by young
boys and girls, and by older ones, too.
He dwelled at length upon the great
injury that this class of literature is do
ing and cautioned all his hearers, advis-
ing them to abstain from reading such
trash. He said that he always favored
and believed in people reading as much
and as often as possible, and dwelled
upon the advantages to be obtained by
reading good, wholesome literature.
He mentioned Thackeray and Dickens
as among the authors that he favored.
The proceeds of the lecture are to be
devoted to purchasing a new window
for the church. Father O'Neill received
a large number of subscriptions for the
new Catholic magazine, 1.-THE Rosary
Magazine" which is published under the
direction of the Dominican fathers.
