ABOUT THE KOLAO HUI.
Some Account of Chfna's Most Danger
Gus and Turbulent Secret Society.

Some Account of Chfna's Most Danger
GUS and Turbulent secret Society.
From the New York Herald
China 10 honeycombed with secret so
cieties. Some of thessn are of a perfectly
harmless character, their existence being
due merely to that strange secretive ten
dency which Is so marked feature OF the
Chinese character. But many are most
dangerous associations, consisting OF thor
oughly INSCRIPTIONS 'Scenspirators, whose
aim is the overthrow of the present Manchu
dynasty. =
OF these troublesome organizations the
most powerful and MOST turbulent Is the
Kolao Hui, which, as announced In today
dispatches, Is now making its operations
unpleasantly felt. 1t has existed for over
fifty years, and was originally formed TO
insure to its members protection against
the extortion of civil officials In dealing
with the pay and maintenance OF the
troops. This object is still pursued. ofn-
GERS, as well as privates, are members, ana
the authorities who are supposed to have
ill-treated the troops are punished by
assassination, by the destruction of their
property and by sudden riots in their DIS
tricts.
In the course Of time the society enlarg-
ed it's objects, and it has long been known
as an anti-foreign and especially anti-mis-
sionary conspiracy. The anu-foreign
troubles of 1891 were due to the machlna-
tons of the Kolao Hui. The society also
aims at change of dynasty. The mem
bers avenge each others private wrongs,
and many join 1t for that purpose only.
Frequently members are enlisted by fraud.
They are induced on one pretense or an
other to sign their names to an innocent
looking book, which turns out to be roll
Of the members, and then they are afraid
to draw back, lest the society should take
vengeance. The Kolao Hui has been at
tackled by powerful viceroys again and
again, but II has grown and fourished,
owing to the timidity and corruption OF the
MAGISTRATES and local officials.

What 1t Means to be a surfman-Hard.
ship and Injury His Chief Reward.
From The Woensocket (R. ~ Reporter.
One midwnter night, in . binding snow
storm. Captain Arthur L. Nickerson, in
command Of the gallant little schooner
Allen Green, ran out ON Vineyard Sound
before the northeast gale and made for the
open sea. The storm was at its height when
the wind shifted so suddenly that before the
skipper realized his situation his ears
caught the sound Of the breakers booming
on Point Judith's treacherous shore.
Fifteen minutes after the Allen Green
struck, Captain Herbert NJ. Knowles crew
Of hardy life savers had begun the work Of
rescue. Captain NickersoR, when brought
ashore, was in pitiable condition. As he
later stated in his official report of the disaster
(see Government Report made to Superin-
tendent Kimball of the Life Saving Service,
al suffered much from cramps and pains
caused by the bruises l received before l
hours continuously"
The life savers wrapped the brave young
sailor in warm blankets and gave him .'ain.
Killer freely. The famous old rem.oy ac-
complished an immediate relief, and Captain
Nickerson slept as peacefully as child that
night and awoke next mo rning in condition
to face another tempest, if necessary. He
feels that the prompt use Of Pain.killer after
his fearful experience rescued him from un-
utterable suffering and even saved his life.
Brave Captain Knowles is now assistant
superintendent of the life saving district
He says the life savers all use Pain-Killer,
and consider it the best and most reliable
"all-around" remedy they can have by them.
Captains Asa Church, of Point Judith sta
ton: Albert Church, Of Narragansett Pier;
Davis at Watch Hill; Saunders at Quono-
ehontaug-and their gallant crews, endorse
Captain Knowles in his unstinted praise Of
Pain Killer Is An invaluable remedy for
emergencies encountered in daily life.

REFORM IN ARMENIA.
Mass Meeting I'm London to Protest
Against the Recent Atrocities.

Against the Recent Atrocities.
The mass meeting in London last night
to protest against the Armenian atrocities
was held under the auspices of the Armen-
ian Society. Several delegations from for
eign cities were present Mr.. Gladstone
was unable to be present, but he wrote as
follows expressing his sentiments
THE terrible statements from Armenia
have riveted the attention of the world. 1
heartily wish well your and every other ef-
fort to bring out the truth. Should the hor-
rible allegations already made be sustained.
they Will prompt the civilized world anew
to ask: How long are these things to be
endured% l will not try to anticipate the
result of the examination, but feel moral
ly certain that the administration Will not
rest without most thorough inquiry into
the matter in which, under the Cyprus con-
vention, we have a separate, deep and pain
full interest 1t is my present hope that the
Ottoman government, for it's own honor,
cordially concur in this searching investiga-
tion."
The British government was called upon
by the meeting to take the initiative in in
sisting on the immediate introduction of
definite reforms in Armenia, In accordance
with the pledge given at Berlin by Turkey.
One paragraph in the resolution adopted
said:
while approving the international con-
sular commission, we believe that the mere
punishment of a few offenders will not
change the situation. What Is really re-
auired is concerted and vigorous action by
the powers"
The Novosto Of St. Petersburg says that
the best pledge England and Russia can
give of the mutual sincerity of their under
standing is joint forcible Intervention in
Armenia. The writer advocates a policy
which will eliminate in Armenia's indie
pendence

THE COLLECTING MANIA.
A Few welI-Chosen Remarks ON This
Feminine FOible.

From the New York World.
Women are born misers, even the most
lavish and generous among them. They
hoard apparently for the mere sake of
boarding. They save empty spools and
scraps of lining. bits of feather, small
useless odds and ends of velvet and rib
bon Their scrap bags and sewing bas-
kets reveal the instinct in its commonest
FORM The collection craze shows it at
a higher point.
From the time when, little girls,
they go about with strings Of buttons to
the day when as old ladies they leave
tteir collections of bric-a-brac to some
art museum. they are everlastingly COL
lecting. The original ones collect with
q certain degree of discrimination and
Judgment. The others collect whatever
they hear It Is proper to collect, from
souvenir spoons to handkerchiefs Senti-
mental young persons collect pebbles.
MOSES, twigs, keep old flowers, WORKOUT
wells. discarded gloves and the like as re-
minders of romantic episodes This is
harmless enough, as IL costs very little and
does not really burden the mind with men,
cries any longer than the mind would be
burdened anyway. But once the collection
craze passes this harmless stage 1t be-
comes perniciOuS.
The woman who makes a fetch of laces
and collects them is laying up for herself
store OF WIlnhleS anu uilHdpplleSS. one
will worry about the genuineness of the
lace she buys; she will worry over the yell
lowing influence of time, the tearing of
careless cleaners, the possibility of fire and
thieves. The woman whose one idea on
all her travels is to get a souvenir spoon
or a souvenir cup loses all the joy of
travelling, increases the difficulty of pack
ing and frequently burdens herself with
things valueless in themselves and not
long valuable as mementoes.
The collecting fad is one to be decried
vigorously. 1t develops a misery spirit.
1t adds burdens to life. 1t seldom, except
in the case of those collecting geniuses
who are the exceptions proving the rule,
adds anything of particular value to one
possessions. The only good thing to be
said for II is that it occupies the feminine
mind.

Solving "the Unemployed Question:
John Burns. the English labor leader and
member of parliament, was given a hearty
reception at Omaha last night, and a large
gathering heard him.
The chief point of his address was a
scathiny til ade against municipal jobbery
and boodlersm. and he insisted that the
workinsmen must take this matter up for
themselves. He quoted figures to prove
how, following in the wake of Liverpool
and Glasgow, London was rapidly solving
the unemployed question" through what
Is known as the direct employment sys-

Of gas and electric lighting plants, water
works and street railways, the city was
