China ought to be suppressed on gen eral prineiples-wiped off the earth as nation and made the dependency of some white government just because of the atrocity with which women there are treated. The 13-year-old daughter of great mandarin was torn from her home and forced to marry the youthful pig who is called emperor. He abused her worse than any savage husband ill an African tribe would abuse his wife today and finally slapped her in the face She had no redress but death, and death sho chose. The actual truth is that the child empress of China com mitted suicide because of her husbands brutality to her. Then tho government that wants to be treated with as civi- lized country suppressed all news of her death till after the $50, 900, 900 fetes on the dowager empress birthday were eel ehrated. Nice country that!

The Trolleyless Electric Car.

It really seems to have been found at last, and tho wire that kills will proba. bly, go. The public will not be sorry. for the poles and wires arc not an addi- ton to the beauty of the landscape, quite apart from tho danger attending tho overhead system.
 The trolley roads will be able to change to the new system with compar- atively little expense when they wish to do so. The inventor is Philadel- phian. James P. Mclaughlin, young man only 31. The device he has made consists of an underground conduit not very far below the surface. In an iron tube is the wire that conducts the cur rent, perfectly insulated. A fiat strip of iron in the middle of the streot be- tween the tracks conveys the electricity to the car. But it is so arranged ill sec tions few feet apart that only that portion of 1t directly beneath the car is charged with the current at one time Otherwise it is as dead as any other piece of iron. The collector is on the bottom of the car and weighs about 100 pounds.

MERCHANTS WON.
Outplayed the Attorneys
at Whist.
The Hopes of the Lawyers Were
Very Far From Being
Realized.

The long-talked-Of whist game between
the business men and attorneys at last
came off in the rooms of the San Francisco
Whist Club yesterday afternoon.
The expounders of the law were scarcely
IN it with the merchants. Out of a pos
sble $3.50 books the merchants captured
1868 while the lawyers only succeeded in
gathering in 1887 volumes.
The Blackstone people have been boast
ing of what great whist they were capable
Of playing. They had heard that the mer-
chants knew thing or two about the
game, and yesterday to their sorrow they
ad an opportunity of seeing the business
N en- display their knowledge.
The attorneys entered the arena per-
fecilv confident of winning everything
before them with hands down. They had
on their team some crack men. and they
knew it. If they had not relied too much
perhaps upon these star players the result
might have been different
Attorneys Pierson. Freeman, Tyson and
Washburn exhibited the most skill yester-
day for thei5 side. Their playing al times
was very clever.
Merchantmen Sanborn, Blehdon, Horn
and Miller made the highest scores for
their side. This total largely exceeded
that of the four best men on the opposi ng
side. The detail of the score is IS folio VS.

LARGEST BIRDs-C. s., City. The largest of
flying birds at this period is the great vuture
of the Andes, commonly called the condor. 1t
is also The largest bird of prey. II is seldom
larger than the lammergeyer of the Alps, being
generally not more than 4 feet long, with an
expanse of wings of feet though these dimen.
sIons have been often exceeded. The expanse of
wings reaching fully IA feet. Humboldt in his
works, declares that In his travels he met with
none that went beyond feet, and was assured
by many credable inhabitants of Quito that
they had never shot any that measured more
wings OF the condor are long and extremely
powerful, the tail short and wedge
shaped. The condor feeds mostly on
carTlon. and Its Voracity is enormous.
Tacbudi mentions one in confinement at
Valparaiso. which ate eighteen pounds of meat
in one day, and the next day seemed TO have as
good an appetite as usual. The condor often
gorges itself so that it cannot fly, and il at
tackled disgorges In order TO escape. The bird
inhabits regions 10000 or $1,000 feet above
The level OF The sea, and only desceuds into the
plains for food. The height 10 which this bird
scars In he air exceeds that OF any other bird,
and 1t Is said to be almost six perpendicular
miles above the level of the sea, or nearly six
times the ordinary height Of the clouds. The
condor is said 10 have the power TO take an or
binary sized sheep between its talons and fly
away with II, but as TO this the Query Column
has not been able to find any authenticated ac-
count. The largest OF birds that do not soar
Is The ostrich. Some adult males stand eight
1CCb III nClSLG IuclI hClSub varies from 1UU
TO 300 pounds. The wings OF the ostrich are
reduced 10 most rudimentary condition, so
that ii is not at all capable OF flight through the
air. The muscles that move the legs are of
prodiglous strength, so that the bird is not only
capable OF running with great speed, but OF
striking such blow with its foot as to make IL
too formidable for the leopard ana other large
beasts of prey to assail it. When feeding the
stride of the bird Is from 20 to % inches and
when walking but not feeding, 26 inches. When
the bird is terrified the stride is from Ill., to
4 AZ rid
the bird would accomplish about twenty-five
miles per hour. Some naturalists have asserted
that when the ostrich starts running the rate
OF speed Is equal TO sixty miles an hour but that
is not kept up long.
