BLOODY BATTLES OF EUROPE.
At Zorndorf the Loss of Life Included

Linear tactics and firelocltS contrib
uted more lavishly to the dcath-roll
than the sltirmishers and breech-load-
ers OF modern times. At Blenheim
England lost some % per cent and her
enemies about the same number. AT
Mollwitz the Prussians lost Sper cent,
the Austrians IS per cent. At koln
Fredercli's force suffered to tie extent
of 81 per cent, while their victory cost
his enemies only IA per cent At Iorn-
dorf, the bloodicst battle of which we
have any record that we may rely upon,
the proportion of loss to the total forces
engaged rose to the enormous
total of from one-half to one
third. Kuncrsdorf was almost as
destructive to human life, and
Frederick lost 35 per cent. against 90
per cent. of the allies. With the ad-
vent of Napoleon and the loosened
formations of the revolutionary
armies, losses we're at first diminished,
but ut Aspern the Austrians left near.

tie. Borodino too, deprived the Rus
SLAMS of SO per cent and the French of
a5 per cent. During the Napoconic
wars we find the losses lower, al
though after Liguy the Prussians were
weaker by as many rs 20 per cent. and
the victory of Waterloo cost England
rather more than that proportion.
When, however, we turn to the cam
paigns which succeeded the lull of cX-
haustion following the downfall of the
first empire, we are confronted
with no such bloody records,
in spite of the invention of
percussion caps, rifles and even ritlcd
cannon. The allies at the Alma only
lost some per cent. and the Russians
IA per cent. lnlierman, however, was
as bloody as Waterloo, but it was Il
struggle IN which tactics played very
small part. The losses Mt Magenta and
Solferino were comparatively slight.
Although the consequences of konig-
gratz were immense, they were cheap
| ly purchased by the victors; while
| in 1870, notwithstanding that both
sides We're armed with brecchloadcrs,
the losses never approached the huge
totals of some of the battles of the
early century or of those of the seven
years war. At Worth, it is true, one
sixth of the total forces engaged were
either killed or wounded but at
Gravelotte the proportion was only
one-eleventh. and at Weisscnburg one
twelfth. Saturday Review.

from the pulpit of the First Presbyterian
Church, on Four -and-a-Half street.
While the sergeant was not mentioned bv

that it could not be misunderstood by his
hearers. He spoke of the hue and cry which
had been raised against an officer of the police
department who had dared to rid this fair
city Of men who kept evil resorts, and to
break up their vile places. "And.r said the
speaker, ''if this officer should be removed or
interfered with in this work it would be cause
for long and deep regret throughout our COM

Unfair Discrimination.

EDITOR TIMES: In your editorial in Satur-
days issue, entitled "Unfair Discrimination, +"
you have assumed that the responsible
officers of the street railroad companies that
are in arrears for certain taxes cannot be
legally dealt with in the same summary man
ner as a hackman who has failed to pay his
license fee. because the taxes in arrears are
taxes on earnings, instead of license taxes
and therefore there is no provision of law for
such procedure.
In this assumption you are mistaken It is
true that some street railroad corporations by
the provisions of their charters are required
to pay as tax certain proportion of their
earnings. But there is provision in the
license law requiring that license fee be
paid for each vehicle used for the transpurta-
tion OF passengers for hire, which is applica-
bic alike to hacks and street cars, and it is
these license fees that the street car compan-
les have refused to pay.
If there is any question of law in dispute
and presume there is, 1 maintain that the
proper court in which to settle the question
by legal determination is the police court, un-
der the ordinary course of procedure, and
not the civil courts
Again, say, let the responsible officers of
the street railway corporations receive the
same treatment that would be meted out TO a
poor hackman. G. B. HEMINGWAY.

CHINESE NAMES.

a Curious System of Nomenclature for
Designating Foreign Countries.
The Chinese, when they first knew their
eastern neighbors, who are now exhibiting
such a restless war spirit, named them Wa
people, says the North China Herald In their
histories this single word was sufficient. By
change Of vowel during 1900 years, Wa has
become Wo. In the imperial declaration OF
war OF August l. this is the term used, and
it is brief and sufficient.
The Chinese like monosyllabic names for
countries. The various foreign nations have,
when EnalIing treaties, usually chosen the
monosylables which form their names. Eng

country for ying, the treaty character for
Great Britain, has that sense. Fa means law,
and France, Fa kwo, is the ''law-abiding
country" Germany. known as TIE kwo, is
the ''virtuOus country" The United States
republic is the Mel kwo, or beautiful coun-
try" Italy is the country OF Justice 1
kwo.
Each treaty nation has chosen its own name
for moral effect 1t has been a matter for in
ternational diplomacy, and the Chinese gov
ernment has invariably given way to the
wishes of each OF the treaty. powers as repre-
sented by its minister and his Chinese secre-
tary. From the time that the ministers of the
treaty nations had residences in Pekin the
name Of the country made use of in diplo-
matte correspondence has been. of course,
that which was satisfactory TO the treaty pow
ers. The same was the case with Japan.
Japan, there can be no doubt prefers il pen,
the land of the rising sun, because it is more
poetical than the name Wo, which means
submissive winding" and twisting"
On the whole. Japan wishes to be known as
the land Of the sun. Ji kwo but she also
likes il pen, which is the same with Japan,
and she has not made the use of the term Wo

progress for several weeks at the Central
Methodist Protestant Church, at the corner of
Twelfth and NJ streets northwest, were con-
tinued last night Rev. DR.. S. j. Smith, pas
tor of the Central Church. has been in charge
of the services, and has been ably assisted by
Rev. George L. Wolfe, young minister with
an excellent baritone voice. which he uses
with much effect at the meetings.
DR.. Smith preached the revival sermon last
night, and in plain but powerful language
pointed out 10 the members of the large con-
Sregation the folly OF n sinful life making his
point stronger by references from the Script
ure. He then told of the wisdom of re-
nouncing the world. and said that there was
more Joy, peace. and happiness in being an
honest upright. and noble follower OF the
Lord than in being subject to the bidding of
the devil. DR.. smith urged his hearers to
subject themselves to the will OF God and be-
come workers in his vineyard.

tion songs during the service, and at the close

Narrow Escape.

Mr.. Wilson had read so much about the
danger Of a certain much-talked-about disease
that ne had done his best to make Mrs. Will
son and their little daughter Maud chew their
grapes and eject the seeds instead of swallow
ing them according to the usual custom.
Maud found the new method little to her
taste and her father had frequent occasion to
reprove her for not minding his instructions.
One day the little girl was under the
weather and her mother thought it necessary
to administer a dose of medicine, in the shape
of two small pellets. These, after the man
ner of thoughtful parents, she concealed in a
spoonful of marmalaid, which she then offered
TO the unsuspicious patient.

Maud exclaim:
