4 Certainty That Every Foreigner
Will Be Massacred.

LONDON, Dec. 1.-THE Globe, this af-
ternoon, in connection with the dispatch
from Pekin announcing that the anti
foreign feeling is increasing there,
has letter from a British resident
In China who occupies an important posi-
tion which brings him in touch with the
Mandarlgs and the masses.
The writer says: "a tragedy may occur
any day, and when the japanese come
within sight OF the capitol ] feel certain
that every foreigner will be mas
sacred. The foreign ministers will incur
a perfectly insane risk il they remain
there after the ice has closed the port of
Tien Tsin. The greatest danger is in the
fact that nearly all the soldiers are mem
bers of secret societies, which are ready
to break out at first chance"

LARGE FIRE.
Wall Paper Factory Destroyed
in Buffalo.
Five Hundred Men Will Lose EN-
pIOyment-Loss $500,000.

BUFFALO, Dec. 1l.-Birges' wall paper
factory at Niagara and Maryland streets.
was entirely destroyed by fire this
morning before daylight. The
loss is estimated at $3.50, 900
and the Insurance is said TO nearly cover
the damage. This is the second time the
Birges have suffered the loss of their
factory by fire. Fourteen years ago their
works then located on Perry street
were burned. and though the pecuniary
loss was but $4,000 ten lives were sacri-
feed. The fire broke out at 4:30 o'clock
this morning. in the stock room.
The night watchman discovered the
flames in the cellar and seeing that they
were beyond his control sent in an alarm.
A strong southwest wind aided the fire
and impeded the efforts of the firemen,
who were fortunate in confning the fire
to the factory.
The stock and materials all went up in
smoke. The factory was the largest indi-
vidual plant OF its kind in the country,
and perhaps in the world. The Birges
did not belong TO the wallpaper trust,
having persislentiy refused TO join. About
500 hands will be thrown out OF employ
ment.

Snakes In the Gulf.

Galveston Cor. Chicago Tribune.
Talking about snakes" said Cap.
tain Pete, why was down on the
coast a few years ago after a heavy
sou'east gale, and the beach was c0v-
cred with drlftwOod and snakes for
miles, and they were coming ashore
constantly. The place was full Of
snakes. There were thousands OF
them, and every log that drifted
ashore had from six to ten snakes
clinging to it. They were countless,
and as there were many species new
to me l think they must have come
from the Mexican or Central Amcri-
can coast. talked with one of the
captains of Morgan line steamer
about it, and he stated that he en-
countered the snakes and drift many
miles out to sea, and they were SO
thick that It was necessary for the
steamer to force her way through.
When it reached BrazOs, Santiago,
there were a great many snakes, dead
and alive, across ITS bow and sticking
to its Sides"

]. J. Romcr, writing in Printers
Ink, says: "Jas. w. Scott, publisher
Of the Chicago Herald, recently made
the statement that majority of the
newspapers In this country are to-day
being conducted ut q financial loss.
The trouble is there too many news
papers for the population. In the
United States there are over 10000
newspapers Of different kinds regu-
larly issued. Great Britain with half
our population] has only 2,270. Sta
tistics show that about one-tenth OF
the total number of papers in this
country expire every year."

A North Mississippi farmer has
adopted a novel method for Kidding
his place Of the English sparrow pest.
He soaks wheat grains In sweetened
whisky and places them between the
burrows In the field. The srarrows
gather in the wheat, soon become
drunk as lords, and they are gathered
by the hundreds, and placed IA bags,
to be afterwards converted into PIT
pies at the leisure of the cook. This
method Of getting rld OF them y said

THE OLD YEAR Axo the NEW.


FATHER RYAN.
How swift they 20!
Lifc's many years,
With their winds Of woe
And their storms of tears.
And their darkest Of nights, whose shadowy
slopes
Are lit with the flashes Of tarriest hopes.
And their sunshiny days in whose calm heav-
The clouds Of the tempest-the shadows of the
gloom.
And nh! we pray
With grief so drcar,
That the years may stay
When their graves are near;
Tho the brows of To-morrows be radiant and
bright
With love and with with beauty, with life and
with light
The dead hearts of Yesterdays, cold on the
bier,
To the hearts that survive them, are ever more
dear.
For the heart so true,
To each Old Year clcaves;
Tho the hands of the New
Flowery garlands weave.
But the flowers Of the future tho fragrant and
fair
With the past's withercd leaflets may never
compare,
For dear is each dead leaf--and dcarer each
thorn
In the wrcaths which the brows of our past
years have worn.
Yes! men will cling
With love to TO the last;
And wildly fling
Their arms round the past!
As the vine that clings to the oak that falls,
AS the ivy twines round the crumbled walls
For the dust of the past some hearts higher
prize,
Than the. stars that flash out from Future,
bright skies.
And Why not so7
The Old, Old Years,
They knew and they know
All our hopes and fears;
We walked by their side, and we told then
each grief,
And they kissed off our tears while the
whispered relief
| And the stories of hearts that may. not b
! -,., revealed
In the hearts of the dead you are buried an
sealed.
Let the New Year sing
At the Old Years grave.
Will the New Year bring
What the Old Year gave?
All! the Stranger Year trips DER the SHOWS,
And his brow is wreathed with many rose !
But how many thorns doth the roses conceal
Which the roses, when withercd, shall so sool
reveal!
Let the the New Year smile
When the old Year dies.
In how short awhile
Shall smiles be signs?
Yea! Stranger Year, thou hast many
charm,
And thy face is fair and thy greeting warm,
But, dearer than thou--in his should Of SHOWS
Is the furrrowed face of of the year that goes
Yea, bright New Year!
Der all the earth
With song and cheer
They will hail thy birth;
They will trust thy words in single hour,
They will love thy face, they will laud th
r power,
For the New has charms which the Old ha
not,
Aud the Strangers face makes the Friend
forgot.
