BARBAROUS CHINAMEN.
INHUMAN TREATMENT OF A GATH
OLIO MISSIONARY IN CHINA.
China Takes No Steps to Bring the
Reverend Fathers Tormeu-
tors to Justice.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. "a letter re-
ceived from Father Hugh, o. S. F.,
a missionary priest in the province
of Shenshi, in China, contains an
account of outrages of which Faith
er Capistan Goett, formerly of st.
Louis, was the victim. The letter
is dated September, and says that
on September 8 Father Goett was
assaulted by natives, who drove of
Chinese servants and carried him
a prisoner to the neighboring mar
ket town. At the time when the
assault was made the father was
engaged in locating and making
claims to lands belonging to the
church. For a whole day he was
exposed to the indignity Of the
populace, who vented their rage by
bea ting him, splitting in his face
and striking him with their long
brass pipes. They committed other
outrages. An attempt was made
by his captors to shoot him but
fortunately the old fire-lOck gun
used by the Cinnamon did not an
swer it's trigger. One Of the spec
tators offered to kill him for
three francs. From this town
Father Goett was conducted to
the gates of another market vii.
lage, where he was treated in the
same manner as at the first town.
1t was intended to put him to
death at the third village to which
he was led, but the head man Of
the district refused to answer for
the responsibility and the prisoner,
who was securely bound all the
time, was dragged out into the
fields. Spectators were warned OIL
the road as he was led by. His
tormentors here:stufred:his mouth
full of dry clay and then some held
him close to the ground by the
hair, while others knelt upon his
PROSTATE body, and one OF them
applied a long knife to his neck.
The condition Of the Father was
most deplorable. He was covered
with bruises and knife wounds and
for time his state was critical.
At the date of writing he had re-
covered physically, but still suf
fered occasional alteration of
mind, due to his great sufferings.
The letter concludes by saying that
the Chinese government was dila-
tory in taking steps to punish the
offenders.

McKeever to Meet Mccarthy.

PHILADELPHIA Dec. 3.--Charles
McKeever is matched to box
Charles Mccarthy four rounds at
a special carnival Of boxing which
is to be held at the Southwark
club this evening. Mccarthy, by
his great showing against Critic
recently, has convinced the de.
voices OF boxing that his reputa-
tion of lightweight champion of
Pennsy vania, which little he held
for eight years, was well earned,
and as McKeever Is about to chal-
lenge McAulIffe, Leeds, Zeigler,
Everhardt and many other aspir-
ing light-weights, it is believed
that a bout with Mccarthy would
be a thorough test as to whether
he is bona fide champion.

Congress to Reasonable. .

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-The fifty.
third Congress will reassemble to.
day. The Congressman and Sena.
tors are not arriving with the rush
of last year. 1t is hardly possible
that the defeated congressman, Of
whom there are great many, will
b. in any great hurry to get back, as
onis is the last session for them,
1t is believed that quite number
of the defeated members will not
make their appearance at this ses-
sion unless they have some inn
portant local interest which they
left undone when they returned to
their homes last fall to build their
political fences. The first official
sign of the forthcoming session
was the calling of several sub-com-
mittees Of the house committee on
appropriations last week. Chair
man Sayers, OF the House appro-
priation committee, has called
meeting OF the committee for to-
morrow. The progress already
made by subcommittee has been
sufficient to indicate that the PEN
sion and Notifications appropria-
ton bills will be ready for sub
mission to the full committee by
that time, and it will be their aim
to have the house begin its work
on the appropriations virtually
with the beginning of the session,
if so disposed. The remaining
bills are expected to be ready to
report to the House Immediately
after it reconvenes for the holidays.
1t is the general opinion that the
appropriation to be made at the
approaching session would amount
in the aggregate to about the same
amount appropriated for the pres
ent year, in round numbers 1892
100000, and that while there will
be no river and harbOr bill at the
coming session, but the necessary
expenditures for the carrying on of
contracts already made will help
to keep the total up about as high
as il there were a separate bill.
The new ships, which will be near
ing completion, will also be among
the items which will increase the
totals, as will the provision for
putting the income tax law into
operation. On the other hand,
smaller payments on account Of
Indian treaties will probably be
necessary and no appropriation
will be required for sugar bounties.
The proposed new treaty between
Japan and the United States, which
has been signed by Secretary Gres-
ham and Minister Kurino, OF ia
pan, will be sent to the Senate for
ratification during this session.

Saved HIS Money.

ALI. Prince and VIM. WhitlOw
were before the recorder this morn
ing on charges OF being disorderly.
Prince was fined $25 and Whitlow
$40. Detective Peterson saw them
with an old man last night, going
from saloon to saloon, and acting
almost too friendly to suit Peter
son, who knew these two men well
enough to become suspicious. They
would go into saloon and the old
man would treat to drinks, always
putting up silver dollar. He al
ways failed to get his change and
yet the two men stuck to him.
Peterson arrested them as they
were taking the old stranger to a
two.stOry house, where they were
going to give him lodging. The old
man had 500 in cash when tho
officer found him.

Correct visitlng.card Etiquette.

1t is more comfortable for callers
when they arrive at a house and
find the mistress already receiving
guests, to send in their cards by
the maid, if they have any doubt
as to the hostess Immediately re-
c)gnizing them. In large cities
where women have a great num-
Der OF formal acquaintances it is
not always possible for hostess to
i'm mediately recall the name OF a
guest, although she may recognize
her at once as some one whom she
ought to know. IL the second
caller is an intimate friend and has
no doubt as to her immediate re-
cognition, she may tell the maid
that she need not announce her, in
which case the maid will drop the
card into the bowl which usually
stands beside the card tray on the
hall table. p. p. G. cards should be
left on the occasion of long alb
sence of over three months, on
leaving town at the close of the
season, on leaving the neighbour
hood where you have resided for
years, or where you have resided
for months and sometimes only for
weeks, but not when changing
houses in the same neighborhood.
The words pour prendre congo sig
Nifty to take leave, and when good
by is not intended, and future
meetings are anticipated, there is
no ostensible motive for leaving

wigwam Should not be Pulled.
NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-The good
government club, Of which Mr..
Brooks Leavitt is the president,
has appointed a committee which
is going to call soon upon the at
torney general. He will be re-
quested to bring to the attention Of
the courts the violations OF the
charter of Tammany society, or
the Columbian order, whereby the
order will be compelled to show
cause why its charter should not
be annulled. Mr.. Leavitt claimed
that the Tammany society has
violated that clause of its charter
which stipulates that the society
shall never have an income from
real estate exceeding $1,000. 1t is
also claimed that the charter is
violated in reference to the pro-
vision that it shall have a pension
fund devoted to the widows and
orphans of its members. They as
sert that IL there be such fund in
the hands OF the society it is never
applied and therefore the necessity
of the existence of the society
passes. 1t is claimed by the men,
bers of the society that there is
such fund and that it is expended
for the relief of needy members
when the occasion arises. The
Tammany society meets tonight.
1t is the regular Monday meeting
"for the months Of frosts and the
season of SHOWS in the year Of in
dependence one hundred and
eighteen and of the discovery Of
American 1892"

Dalton was companion of Lee
Sapp, who was held on similar
charge, but escaped prison before
trial came up. The higher court
assigns as cause for such action
that the charge for which Dalton
was tried did not specify whether
the theft was from the person or
not. Dalton was released from the
county jail Saturday, where he had
been confined to await the action
of the higher court.
