Train Robbers and State Police.

This country has had in the past
six months, the Railroad Gazette
finds sixty-one attempts to wreck
trains and forty zone attempts to rob
trains. Train wrecking is most COM
mon in the belt of States from Mass
achusetts to Illinois. These states
have a big mileage and frequent
trains. They are, as every one knows,
the great tramp route of the country.
The Erie and Central have more
tramps than the Pennsylvania lines.
and the roads between Pittsburg and
Buffalo, Chicago and ST. Louis, have
more tramps than lines to the south or
to the west.
This accounts for the large proper
ton of train wrecking in these states
Train robbing is western disease
and worst west and not east of the
Mississippi. Two-thirds of the train
robbers have been in a belt from
Iowa and Nebraska to Texas, includ-
ing Kansas. The Railroad Gazette
justly says that this is Populist re
gion and when big political party
and its leaders arc abusing the rail
roads as thieves it is not surprising
that some men in the season are led
to try to even up things.
But whatever the reason the serious
thing is that train robbers, once rare,
steadily increases. They occur in
the old states as well as new. While
most Of them are west,a full fourth are
east Of the Mississippi. Their be
ginnings have been seen in New York.
No state and no railroad has made
any provision against them. In all
of them the peace, security and pro-
lection of the countryside is left TO
the country constable and the sheriff
and his deputies.
This has not proved enough to
keep the peace in rural and thickly
settled districts in any other country
in the world. 1t will not here. Every
other civilized country has state
police, part of it mounted, which
keeps the peace on the farm roads,
the highways and the railroads. Spain,
forty years ago, was full Of train rob
bers, until such force was establish
ed. Italy had them until this was
done. Highwaymen in north and
bandits in south Europe existed in all
European countries until paid, or
ganized rural police was organized
and established in some way. With
such police this evil has disappeared
in every European country but Sicily,
Calabria and Andalusia, where there
are still bandits.
This police was not paid by the
rural taxpayers. Not at all. 1t was
supported by the central authority.
Here it ought to be organized and
paid by the states. Until this is done
the Railroad Gazette will have an in
creasing number Of train robberies to
report in every half-year and the daily
paper an increasing number of lynch
ings-for the lynching is really only
an attempt to make up by popular
violence for a loose and inefficient
execution of the laws.-ReSs.

ONLY Three.

An honest mistake was that of a col
ored man in the south, whose former
master had allowed him the use of E
piece of land on condition that he. the
owner, should receive one-fourth of the
crop.
When the corn was ripe, the laborel
hauled three loads to his own house
and none to that of the white man.
Then he went innocently up to the
great house to return his landlords
wagon which he had used in the haul
ing.
"Well. Frank" said the gentleman,
where's my share of the corn?"
''You amt got none, sah," was the
sympathetic reply.
Haven't got any! Why, wasn't to
have fourth of all you raised?"
Eyes, sab, but dey want no fourth.
Dere want but jes' my three loads!''-

DEATH OF A NOTED GIANT.

The Chinaman Chang. Who Was Not Less
Than Nine Feet in Height.
The famous Chinese giant, Chang,
died at Bournemouth, England, No.
rember 5. Chang had been seen several
times in America, says the New York
| Herald. Because of prevailing super
stition among the Chinese people
his height was never measured, as
they believed that death would imme-
diately follow the measurement. But
there are none who have observed him
or who have stood up beside him who
estimated his stature at less than nine
feet. His physical proportions were
very symmetrical and his strength was
herculean. Having Travelled and exhib-
tied throughout the civilized globe he
acquired and spoke with fuency five
different languages-English, Ger
man, French, italian and Spanish. He
was very companionable man and
delighted to meet and converse with
intelligent men and women.
Chang was born in 1S47 at Wang
Hue, near Pekin, China. His parents,
who are still living, are large tea and
silk growers, and are independent.
There is nothing in their constitution
nor that of their progenitors to indi-
cate the possibility of transmitting
gigantic proportions to their extraor-
binary son. On the contrary, Changes
parents are about the average size of
Chinese people, who are well known
to be rather under the ordinary size.
At his birth there was nothing to in
dictate that he was to grow to his pres
ent stature, and up to the age of nearly
six years his height did not exceed
most children of his age. After short
illness he began to assume such gigan-
tic proportions that his parents were
much alarmed at the growth of their
huge son. At the age of twelve he
was equal to the height of his father
and the generality of the neighboring
people. The phenomenon of his being
as tall as man, and yet showing all
the habits and actions of a child,
caused him to become the wonder and
establishment of the neighborhood. At
the same time he suffered great per-
sonal discomfort, for the men would
not associate with him and the chill
dren would not play with him At the
age of eighteen he commenced to ex-
hibit himself in public.
Chang was here in 1880, in 1883, and
in 1886. After his last visit here he re-
turned to his native land to marry
Chinese beauty. 1t was his intention
at that time to come back to America
and to settle down in the west. He
used to wear watch given him by
Queen Victoria which weighed two
pounds and half, and had chain
nine feet long, which barely reached
around his neck and down to his vest
pocket. He had large stock of gloves
and jewelry presented to him by royal
and other distinguished personages.

Next fall the Bay District track will
probably be the scene of the most interest

L. Ii. Williams Jr., who as a racing
manager has lots of faults, has undoubtedly
elevated racing on the coast. 1t was
through his efforts that the BloUd-hOrse
Association came TO give real race meetings.
and it was at his suggestion that the winter
racing project became so successful here.
Mr. Williams is not emit. 1ly satisfied with
his work. and, at the suggestion of Joseph
II. Maloney, the well-known horseman from
Toronto. set about TO secure a course and
arrange Tor great steeplechases at the
meeting next fall.
The last meeting was SO successful that 1t
is expected that many Eastern horsemen
will come out here to attend the meeting to
commence next October, and race their
horses over the fiat, and that many of the
Eastern pIuDgers will follow them in order
TO escape the cold and miserable Eastern
winters.
As the Eastern steeplechase courses are
all deserted during the winter months Will
liams thought it would be good idea to
entlee them out here.
He has written to several of them. and
finds that they are rot only willing but
anxious to come. In all about thirty jump
ers are expected here. Some that will
likely be seen making the first sieeplechase
