Ii HUNG CHANG CARRIED HER.

China's viceroy Took Literally an Invita-
ton to Escort a Lady.
Speaking Of the first meeting Of Ii
Hung Chang and John W. Foster, on
which occasion the Chinese viceroy en-
tertained woman at dinner for the
first time in the person of Mrs. Foster,
the Washington Capital vouches for the
following story, which is one Of the
best illustrations of true oriental cour-
tesy, combined with the peculiar serious
ness and matter Of factness Of the Chi
nese mind, ever related:
When she was introduced to the vice.
roy, Mrs. Foster wondered how she was
to be taken into the banquet room.
Some time before, it seems, Ii Hung
Chang had been guest Of honor at din
per given by the Russian ambassador,
and being asked to take the embassador's
wife to the dining room, proceeded to
comply with iteralness which aston
ished all the guests. The viceroy is a
giant in stature, and the ambassador
wife being small woman, he had no
difficulty in picking her up bodily and
carrying her to the table.
Mrs Foster did not yearn for such
honor and called upon her husband 8
diplomacy to arrange that she should be
escorted in less vigorous manner. Mr..
Fosters tact was equal to the occasion,
and when the doors were thrown open
Ii Hung Chang led the way, and Mrs.
Foster followed him.

The Peoples Supply Company.

Our readers will notice in this issue the
advertisement of what seems to be new
venture In business under the above name.
At present it is a Baltimore concern, and
all goods are warranted pure. The profits.
or certain percentage of them, are to go
to spreading reform doctrine in Maryland
paying the expense of speakers, hiring
halls, distributing literature, etc. The
enterprise seems to be an experimental
step i'll the cooperative schemes that are
springing up in all directions more num-
erously the present year than ever before
The plan of the present scheme is to raise
fund to promote a political movement
among the people, independent of the cor
porations and money power, but it is only
a single phase of the plan. The profits
would be as easily distributed among the
customers who use the goods and pre-
serve the wrappers or such emblem as
might be hit upon by the company. The
goods will be placed on sale in the stores
and can be tested for cheapness and purity
by the people who will have the con-
scious satisfaction of knowing that the lit
tie profit arising from their purchases will
come back to them in promoting their
cause.-the cause of the lowly and plain
people. The people must prepare to do
something before night of eternal wage
slavey closes down upon them.

The Golfers and Geerdiss.

liers," have played very important

the Tyne and Wear used to be accounted

more Of rule of thumb than of scientific

their vessels. But it used to be an cid
saying, which, if not strictly true,
meant great deal, that an old north
country collier skipper could find his
way blindfolded from Tyne to Thames.
A splendid sight, which many living
still remember, used to be witnessed at
the mouth of the Tyne after long
spell of easterly winds which had kept
the colliers imprisoned in port, when
200 or 800 vessels would spread their
sails as they passed Fynemouth point
on their way to the ports of the south.
These old collier briggs were by no
means so black as they were painted

The December Arena.

The December Arena contains the
fourth chapter of the series of papers on
the life and character of Napoleon Bona
parte, by John Davis. Mr.. Davis has pic
tured the Little Corsican in colors he has
never before been shown. The false,
despicable, selfish tyrant that Bonaparte
was has always been surrounded by halo
of military splendor which dazzled the
beholder, preventing his true character
from being observed. Mr.. Davis strips off
this false tinsel and places him before
the world in his true light.
The strongest point in Bonaparte's
career is the total unreliance of metal
money when tested by the severe strain
of war, and the supreme triumph of a
true paper, legal tender money issued
and controlled by the government. If a
financial system that endures the severest
strain of prolonged war would not snfice
in the mild times of peace, why not
These Bonaparte papers of Mr.. Davis are
among the most valuable in the arena,
and show in a strong light the superiority
of legal tender currency over the boast
ed gold system. Bonaparte relied solely on
gold, and robbed country after country to
replenish his military chest, while Eng
land depended almost entirely on her
paper money. The financial feature in
Bonaparte's career is an instructive lesson,
as presented by Mr.. Davis.

Prohibition National Convention.

The Prohibition National Convention
has been called to meet in Pittsburg, May
27th, 1896, to nominate candidates for
President and e-President. 1t is fair
to assume that not a member of the party
has the remotest idea of electing a Pres
ident in 1896 or at any time in the future,
nor even so much as member to congress-
The most natural question arises, what
can be the object for keeping up the Or
ganization in its original form? I.
We have long entertained the belief
that the organization is kept up for the
purpose of weakening as far as possible
the general reform movement which is
best represented by the Populist party.
There is considerable portion of the
Prohibition party disciples of the gold
money crowd, especially the eastern end
of the party and by keeping up the Or
ganization it serves to draw considerable
strength in the west from the Peoples
party. This seems to be the object of the
cunning leaders of the Prohibition party.
The goldbug leaves no stone unturned.

BLOOD SPOT IN ITS PULP.
The "Milxe'' Apple Thought to Comment
crate q Murder of Long Ago.

crate . Murder of Long Ago.
A peculiar species Of fruit is the
"Mike'' apple. 1t has a fair skin, an
excellent flavor and is extensively prop
agated in the vicinity Of Norwich, Conn.
Each individual apple exhibits some
where in its pulp red speck, like a
tinge Of fresh blood, and thereby hangs
strange legend.
THE apple obtains its name from Mi
cab Rood, farmer who lived upon the
outlands of the Connecticut town in the
eighteenth century. The son of Thomas
Rood, one Of Norwich's early settlers,
Micah titled his fertile acres with all
the zest Of youthful ambition.
But Of sudden his habits changed.
He grew idle, restless and Incorporate.
He lost all interest in both work and
worship. His cattle were neglected and
his neighbors Stunned. Some attributed
the change to witchcraft. Others limited
at insanity.
Winter wore away, spring returned,
and the orchard of Micah Rood burst
into blossom. On one tree, it was then
observed, the flowers had turned from
white to red. The superstitious neigh
bors wondered, especially as Rood seemed
drawn to this tree by some resistless
fascination. August came and the red
blossoms developed into fruit. When
the large yellow apples fell from the
branches, each one was found to con-
tain well defined globule, known
thereafter as "the drop of Blood
The freak Of the apple tree deepened
the mystery of Micah's behavior. Con-
lecture followed surmise, and soon it
was remembered that during the pre-
vious fall foreign peddler had passed
through Norwich and had spent the
night at Micah Rood's. He had never
been seen again. Some one suggested
that the young farmer had murdered
him for his money and buried the body
under the apple tree.
Search was made for the body Of the
stranger, but in vain. Nor was any
trace Of his stock found among the
possessions Of the unhappy Micah. If a
load Of crime rested upon the conscience
Of the suspected farmer, it never forced
a confession from his lips. His farm
drifted gradually to decay, and, too
broken down to reclaim it, he wander.
ed about town, disordered in mind and
body.
He died in 1928, but while the blood
spotted apple continues to grow his
name and history will be perpetuated.

Children's letters are usually more

to show more consciousness. Here is a

Street Lamps and Street rlud.

The town lamp lighter like all
his predecessors finds keeping coal
oil street lamps in order emo fool of
a job" There are several different
makes and all have the popularity
of getting wrong, apparently from
various causes. 1t begins to look
like lighting the streets with coal
oil lamps costs more than the
service is worth, and that if the
lamps were sold and the expense
were saved or applied to something
else, it would be an improvement
that might, with a little stretch of
imagination pass for a reform.
Lanterns are very cheap and are
much more satisfactory for pedes-
trians than the poor accommodation
afforded by coal Oil street lamps.
The Lantern service would be a
decided improvement over our street
lamp system and a decided economy.
The lamp fund for one year could
be well and wisely spent in remOv-
ing the mud from South Queen
street which threatens to destroy
all of the fine macadam put on that
street few years ago. The mud
carried on the street by the teams
has become so thick that it holds q
large quantity of water which per-
colates through the stones, softens
the road bed, loosens the stones and
the heavy wagons are fast produc-
ing uneven surfaces where the
water lies till it soaks through and
never drains off into the side
bitches. If the coat of mud was
scraped into the cutters and hauled
away and a layer of broken stone
placed on the centre of the street,
which need not be more than six
feet wide to raise the center and
level up the hollows the piking
would be saved, but if the mud is
left on the streets the best of turn
pike will soon be ruined.
The lantern would be a decided
improvement on the street lamp
both in the matter of service and
economy till the electric light comes,
which will not be long,

A Kennel of Hounds go rlad and Bite
Two Boys.

Late on Saturday afternoon, December
ID, Charles Geary of South Media, sent
his sons, Charles L. and Howard, to the
kennel to feed the hounds belonging to
the South Media Hunt. Mr.. Geary is
Master of Hounds of the club and has a
small kennel at his residence, the larger
part of the pack being kept elsewhere
The boys did not notice anything wrong
with the dogs and at once entered the
enclosure. Howard, the younger boy,
STOPPING down to break the ice in the
drinking water trough when one of the
dogs at once attacked him, biting him in
the cheek. The older boy went to his
assistance and was bitten on the arm.
The boys got awsy and Immediately told
their father, who upon looking at the
animal felt convinced that it was mad.
pr. ]. H. Fron6eld was SUMMONED and
at once cauterized the wounds, and on
Sunday went to New York to make ar
engagements for the boys to go to the
Pasteur institute in that city.
On Sunday morning more thorough
examination was made. It was found
that the dog that had bitten the boys was
dead in the kennel aud the other six
showed unmistakable symptoms of ny
drophobia. They were swapping at each
other, aud all were torn on the sides from
being bitten. The woodwork of the
kennel was cut and SCARED where the
hounds had torn 1t with their teeth. Phs
teeth of the dead dog were broken and
pulled out with the terrible use he had
made of them in his agony. Mr.. Geary
sent for gun on seeing the condition Of
the six hounds aud dispatched them in
short order as they went about their
quarters. DIR. w. NJ. Brodhead, v. S.,
made post mortem on the first dog and
has no doubt that it had hydrophobia.
DIR. Fron6eld found that it will cost
$500 to send the boys to New York for the
proper treatment and as this sum is en-.
tireiy beyond the means Of Mr.. Geary, il
will be necessary to ask the citizens Of
Media and vicinity to contribute.-Media
