A FRAGILE BIT OF CHINA.
POLICEMEN LOCK 1T UP FOR
SAFE KEEPING.
The Citizens Of Great Falls De-
clined the Overtures of an Al
mond-Eyed Celestial Who
Wished to Open a
''WaSh" House.

Will Return to the Flowery Kingdom
Great Falls, Mont, Special, March "a.
To-day for the second time in the his
tory of this city it was forcibly demon
strated that Great Falls is essentially
an anti-Chincse town. a native of the
tlowery kingdom dressed in ci,iHeI's
clothes and carrying Il large roll of
money came from Helena this afternoon
AID expressed the intention of locating
here and opening a laundry. He is in
Jail tonight and tomorrow will be put
aboard the first outgoing train. John
career in Great Falls was brief. but re-
markably exciting, and it is safe to say
he will not try to repeat it. AS soon as
it became noised around town that Il gen.
uine Chinaman was here in search Of
suitable location for laundry the in
dignaton of everybody knew no bounds
Kun him out; throw him in the river;
hang him. and similar expressions We're
heard Oh every side. Labor unions held
an impromptu meeting at 9 o'clock to-
night to take steps to compel the Mon
golian to leave. While the meeting was
in session the police quietly nabbed the
Chlnaman and hustled him off to Jail to
prevent his falling the victim of mob
OF violence. AS soon as it became
known that the Chinaman was under
arrest the meeting dispersed and every
body FASTENED toward the Jail. The
crowd grew rapidly, and by the time the
Jail was reached there We're nearly 1000
i'll the throng. The best of order pre-
vailed, though few hot-headcd ones adj
vocatcd storming the Jail and hanging the
Chlnaman. Such action was severely
denounced by the better clement, who
only asked to have assurances from the
police that the Chinaman would be
ordered out of town tomorrow. Ser
gcant Moran made Il brief speech in be-
half OF good order and assured the wait
ing crowd that he would put the object
OF the peoples wrath aboard the first
train tomorrow. The crowd at once dis
persed after giving three cheers for the
oihcer. Late tonight all is quiet around
the Jail and everybody is pleased that
the affair terminated in Il peaceful man
ner -Four years ago IL Chinaman came
mere to start a laundry and was handled
pretty roughly He was turned adrift on
the Missouri river in Il boat without
oars and sent down over the dam. The
boat capsized, but he succeeded in SWIM
ming t." shore on the other side and
escaped before the crowd could cross the
river. 1t will probably be several years
before another Chinaman will have the
audaclty to try to locate here

The production of cotton is rapidly
increasing in quantity in the transcas-
plan provinces of Russia. Last year
as many as 72, 565 tons of raw cotton
were transported across the Caspian to
Batoum and Poti. After reshipment
at these places the cotton was con-
veyed to Odessa and Sebastopol, and
thence to the weaving mills at Lodz,
Warsaw and those in the Moscow dis
trict. 1t being cheaper than either
American or Egyptian cotton, which
pays very heavy import duty, it may
be, suggests the Chicago Herald, that
in few years, when the cotton crop
of the transcaspian provinces will suf-
fee to furnish the raw material re-
quired by the Russian mills, American
and Egyptian cotton will cease to be
bought in Russia.

Various cities in Germany have es-
tablished municipal eating houses as
means for minimizing begging and to
relieve the worthy poor of the neces-
sity of accepting food given in charity.
Our Consul at Chemnitz, Jam es G.
Monaghan, in report to the State De-
partment, gives most favorable ac-
count of an institution of this kind in
that city, as the result of visit. "The
food is substantial" he declares. "To
hard-working man with appetite
sharpened by exercise, the dinner is
excellent. The hemeats, vegetables, ETC.,
are properly cleaned and prepared be-
fore they are cooked. Everything is
kept clean, and smells sweet and whole
some. The people, who look hearty,
gather in large rooms on benches
placed by long tables. Besides the
dinner. the midday meal, supper is
served to those who wish it" From
the list of the food given, observes the
Boston Herald, it appears to be sub
stantial and excellent in kind and
variety, and that the institution is ap-
preciated is evidenced by the fact that
last year ABS, 1850 dinners were sold.
The food is sold by the portion, and
an ample dinner never costs more than
ten cents. The establishment is SO
practically managed that it yields
something of profit to the city: the
expendituresla last year were $15, ,557.28,
and the receipts were $17, sol. 68, leay-
(, ing balance of 1914. 40. At our
municipal lodging house here in Bos-
ton, meals and lodging are paid for IN
work. Our custom of giving out free
soup at the police stations through the
winter has little to commend it. 1t is
demoralizing and encourages vagrancy
and pauperism. The bounty often goes
to unworthy recipients, and instances
have been related of keepers of cheap
boarding houses obtaining supplies for
their tables regularly in this way. On
the other hand, many who may really
need the food are too sensitive to re-
ceive it in charity. It would be much
better to sell the soup at cost, together
with bread and perhaps other simple
kinds of food.

The red deer is still hunted in Eng
land, but in way that the San Fran.
cisco Chronicle thinks must make the
gorge of true sportsmen rise. A recent
English paper describes the method
1t says: ''The red deer which are an.
nually required for sport with the
Queens buckhounds were selected yes.
terday from the famous herds in Wind.
sor Great Park. After one or two IN.
successful raids among the favorite
haunts of the wild red deer about sixtv
fine stags and kinds were pursued
across the royal demesne and driven
into Cranbourne paddock, near the
Flemish farm, where some of them were
speedily caught in the nets stretched
across the inclosure and secured by the
huntsmen and park laborers. The
strongest animals on being released
from the tolls were carefully placed in
wooden crates and conveyed in the
royal van and carts to Swiniey pad
docks, where they await the opening
of the hunting season" After reading
this description we no longer wonder
that there is society in England which
devotes itself to creating sentiment
against hunting with the buckhounds,
but we do wonder that the English are
so slow to apprehend how utterly in
human and farcical it is to call round
up of tame deer hunting. If any one
attempted to harry the deer in ou,
park with dogs and called the thing
hunting, he would in all probability
be treated to coat of tar and feathers.
