hausted-A Condition Confronts
Collector Wise.

The importers of Chinese women for
immoral purposes have recently encoun-
tered many obstacles In the landing Of
their chattels as merchants wives. 1t is
diff "ult to procure all the merchants
needed for the business. as many of those
on hand have already played the part of
expectant husband to women whom they
had never seen before and who, after the
joyful greeting on the Mail dock. passed
into the dens for which they were de-
signed. But women ara still worth from
$500 to $1,000 head to the slave-dealers.
and some means had to be found to re-
plenish the constantly diminishing supply.
1t occurred to the ring that many Chi
nese merchants had gone to their native
land to die. Some of these men left wild
ows, and whether they did or not women
could be bought. and after course of in
struction sent to the United States as
the deceased. This Ingenious plan for
violating the law was discovered by Col
lector Wise yesterday. Among the pas
sengers on the Peru was a woman who
asserted that she was the widow of mer-
chant who kept store on Dupont street
four years ago. She claimed the right to
land on the ground that her husband had
that she had come TO look after her bust
ness The Chinese Consul vouched for
her identity. The Collector was in q
quandary. Ii he allowed the woman to
land, which she evidently had the right to
do. she would lead the way for horde of
widows, each OF whom would be provided
with proof that she had been The wife of a
deceased merchant, and each OF whom
would be able to show that she had an in
terest in Chinatown store.
The Collector summoned the United
States Attorney, who agreed with him that
the slave-dealers had found what looked
like new way for breaking The law. He
advised the Collector TO refuse the woman
permiss ION to land. and the Collector acted
accordingly. She will be landed by writ
OF habeas corpus, aud the United States
Court will then be obliged TO determine
whether q Chinese woman who calls her
self the widow of a merchant Is entitled to
land.

BANDAGED FEET.
A Barbarous Custom of
the Chinese.
Test Case Will Probably Be Made OF
Chung Says Eight Year-Old
Daughter.

a case OF peculiar interest will In all
probability occupy the attention of one OF
the Police Judges in few days.
On Friday the Society for the Proven
ton of Cruelty to Children was notified
that an eight-year-oId Chinese girl, the
daughter of Chung Say, 914 Clay street,
was being tortured by the DarbarOus Gus
tom in use among the Chinese for making
their women have small feet Two of the
officers of the society, G. G. Wells and r.
A. Hobrook, visited Chung Says place
yesterday afternoon and found the child
seated on a lounge with her feet and legs
above the ankles tightly bandaged.
Chung Say did not deny that the object
was to make the child's feet small. but de-
clared that she did not suffer any pain. He
pointed to a pair OF tiny shoes which he
said were worn by the girls mother before
she dice, and he wanted his child's feet
small enough to fiji her mothers shoes.
The shoes are scarcely large enough for
an ordinary 1-year-old baby, and the toe
part comes to a sharp point that would
scarcely admit mans finger much less a
grown woman's toes
The child is possessed of substantial feet
at present. and it would take years of un-
told suffering to reduce them to the size
desired by her father.
The officers summoned the patrol wagon

amiaed her damaged feet. lie did not
think that she was then suffering much
pain, and she certainly did not appear as If
she was. But well-informed Chinese, who
also accompanied the officers, said that ia
three or four weeks she would suffer
exerueiating torture If the bandaging was
continued.
The feet were bound In such way that
the toes were forced inward and the in
step had the appearance or being broken.
Ultimately from the lack of circulation Of
the blood the toes would rot off and there
would be nothing but a sort of stump.
But then with her small feet the girl
could get rich husband and she would be
classed among the aristocrats. In other
words, her marketable value would be en-
HANGED with small feet. but witt feet of
natural size she would virtually be a
slave.

brook had talked the matter over they al

home again, but warned him not to again

Charms of Country Living.
The Century


William Henry Bishop, possessed of the
belief that the one desirable thing for him
was an abandoned New England farm for
summer home, started out in search of
one. Even his experience of the social
attractions of little Massachusetts, vii
lage did not deter him. He describes it as
follows:
l went out alone one evening to try to
realize how the place would seem suppos-
ing one were actually living there. What
resources would be open to the promeu-
ader at the hour, say, OF 8 P. NJ? Tbs
lights seemed already out In the houses,
or IL here and there they burned still, it
was only in some obscure kitchen at the
rear. The steady chirrup of treetoad and
cricket occuped the night, broken in upon
occasionally by the noe of whippoOrwill
or the stamp OF some horse in his stable.
There was light, however, In the country

WomanIiness Defined.
Scribner's Magazine.

For q Frenchman. an Italian, Span
lard, w0manliness In woman means per-
sonification in every individual case of
those abstract conceptions which the fem
mine principle eternally typifes. On the
one hand womanlness will consist, there
fore. in a constant. passive charm, the
human expression, as 1t were. of the silent
allurement which nature has made
throughout all her orders the typical atti-
tude OF the feminine. This. so to put it, is
the physical characteristic. On the other
hand, womanliness will mean diyination of
mysteries not seen by sight. nor appre-
bended by reason, but conveyed to
woman, instinctivelv by her closer contact
with the most sacred and occult opera
tions of nature, and reactinR from her
upon man in the form of an ethereal slim
ulant TO her finer endeavor, . vague, high
promise Of divine rewards. This is the
