Chinese stoically Viewed tho Awful yVrocIt

The stolid, impassive nature of the
heather Chinaman was mover better
illustrated than during the For6's
theater disaster in Washington. Three
pig-tailed exotics from the flowery
kingdom conduct "washee" empo-
rum just the second door below the
historic old shell, where they are wont
to pursue the even tenor of their voca-
ton, which promotes the next ncighbor
to goodness. Something more than an
earthquake shock would probably be
required to shake sny exhibition of in
terest from these Cinnamon. Although
the crash of the falling floors of the
old theater was not far from their
ears and their own roof might have
come tumbling over their heads next
these Celestials, according to the Post,
did not manifest the slightest surprise.
They simply stepped to their basement
door to see that the street was still
there and returned to their flatirons.
Through the rest of the day, while
thousands of excited people were
clnmoring outside, fire bells were
changing, ambulances rushing by and
dead and wounded men being carried
past in plain view of their windows,
those Iaundrymen bent over their
clothes and gave no sign that they re-
allied the progress of anything unu-
sual. For all the symptoms of intelli-
gcnce displayed by them they might as
we'll have been mummies of the Pha-
raohs drying up in their own skins. 1t
might have been the disregard of hui

istic of the oriental, or it might have
been Johns faculty for minding his

VANISHED KANSAS TOWNS.

Fofests Growing IN Triumph Where BuSy
+, Communities Wore.
1t is a coincidence in Kansas history
that two of her citizens who afterward
became United States senators-Sena-
tor John Martin and ex-senator John
j. Ingalls-originslly settled when
they entered the territory at towns
which afterwards fell into decay and
map. John Martin cast his lot with
Tecumseh in Shawnee county, q settle
ment of much promise, the child of the
pro-slavery party. 1t enjoyed the seat
OF the county government, the federal
court and the government land Office
and WIS crowded with people, mostly
democrats. When the pro-slavery
cause failed and the free state people
got in control of affairs the town began
to go down; the men went into the con-
federate army, the women and children
went south and the houses were moved
to Topeka, as were also the county
seat, the federal court and the land
Office. The Santa Fe railroad stops it's
local trains there, but does not main
tain station agent, and the only hab-
itation on the old town site is house
labeled 'CaSh Grocery"
The fate of Sumner, in Atchison
county, where John j. Ingalls, began
his career in Kansas, says the Chicago
Tribune, was even more striking than
that OF Tecumseh. Tecumseh was a
town of wood, while Sumner was a
city. of brick and mortar, graded
streets, business blocks, schools,
churches and other evidences of New
England thrift and culture. It once
had population of three thousand in
habitants and was fair rival of all
the other river towns, until it's hopes
were destroyed by a county seat cleo
ton; which gave the prize to Atchison,
its pro-slavery rival. Legend says that
Atchison won by fraud, but, be that as
1t may, the people accepted the situa-
ton and promptly began to pull up
stakes and move to the victorious town,
and to-day not house marks the spot
The town site embraced several hun
dred acres, but it is now wholly COW
cred by heavy growth of young tim
Der, blue grass has covered the scars
made by the city engineer and street
commissioner, and railroad trains rush
by without whistling.
