Foo CHOW, Aug. 6.-The survivors of
the massacre at Wha Sang. in the course
of an interview to-day. say that the work
of the mob had evidently been carefully
planned, and all the arrangements for the
destruction of the mission stations and
the killing or driving ont of the foreign
ers were carried out with diabolicai
cruelty. The first attack was made while
| the missionaries we're asleep, and the
charred bodies of some of the victims
were found in the ruins of their burned
homes.
rumor was current in the city at mid
night last night that further riots had oc-
CURED nearer Foo Chow than Ku Cheng.
Foreigners at Foo Chow will hold an in
dignation meeting this evening to protest
against the outrages ana to demand pre-
lection by the authorities. A similar
meeting will be held tomorrow in Hong
kong.

A PERILOUS MOMENT.

A wellknOwn actor recalled tie
other day an awful moment in his life
into which the horror OF wears was
crowded. He was playing Romeo to
the Juliet OF famous actress, aud the
scene is where he is lying dead before
her tomb.
Just as she bent over linn iu tie
Wild paroxysm of her despair before
taking her own life, he felt a terrible
ptemonitory tingllDg in his nose. A
sneeze was coming. as sure as he lived.
Suddenly there overspread his fea.
lures an expression more agonized
than the stage death-struggle had ever
left.
"What is the matter I" whispered
the diving Juliet, in real alarm.
I'm going to sneeze," gasped the
miserable Romeo.
mo you're not, my boy" answered
the determined young woman, setting
her teeth hard together; and as she
repeated the lmpassioned words. II
will kiss thy lips; haply some poison
yet doth hang on them" she grasped
the nasal appendage o: her prostrate
lover and gave it such an unmerciful
sweak that te was near coming to life
on the spot but he did not sneeze,
and his reputation was saved.

remembered the shape Of the teeth
when he awoke from the dream and
made saw with teeth of like pattern.
The saw proved to be a great success,
and the man is taking out II patent f",
it. The Boston Society for Physical

Burial Service Over o Mass Of Steel.

One of the strangest collins ever
told Of is that for which the British
war department is said to be respon-
sible. The story is that a workman

arsenal lost his balance and fell into a
caldron containing twelve tons of
molten steel. The metal was at white
heat and the man was utterly consun-

a conference and decided not to pre-.

A THESIS ON LOVE.

Ever since the balmy aftertoon in
antumn, when Adam and Eve swung
in the hammock and chewed each
others gum in the beautiful garden of
Eden. man has been seized with an
ung"vernable desire to love some one,
and woman has felt a strange longing
to he loved by something. A woman,
as il general thing, doesn't care to
waste any heart-tissue in loving others
when it isn't necessary.
Men who make the most fun Of love
are the earliest victims, and yet caught
before they are fairly ripe. When
they wait till the lawn mower Of Time
has cut down their locks and left Il
barren waste, then it is that they fall
head in the matrimonial
soup. They are the silliest lovers
Of all. A man is foolish to wait till
the chill wind of life's winter cIeeps
under his wig and wrestles with the
hlrsute excrescences on his dome of
thought before he falls in love. He
has misseda great fun. It is at this
age that amatory imp seizes the ole
fossil in his relentless grasp and
makes a blooming fool of him.
1t is wondelf full what universal
thing this matter of love is. All men
cannot have the measles, or be editor OF
Il funny paper. but all men can love.
| have seen men who actually seemed
20 love their own wives 1t is Il poor
stick indeed, who canno: love sJme-
body's wife.
Some men are long on love, and short
on ducats, while Others are long on
ducatS, and with them can bull the
whole market 1t is terrible to be
III love on All income of So Il week.
| actually knew Il man once who died
because Il ghl would not love him.
The .jnrymen who sat on him ut the
corners inquest said in their verdict
taat his death was caused by ..heart-
failure
don't believe that man vas ever
made to be loved. but as long as there
are lot enough poodle dogs to go
around. some of the women content
themselves with lo.ing men. 1t is
their last resort-fur they must love
something.
Love is Il terrible disease Those
Who can pass through it without an

BARRON CASE IN San JOSE.
AN AMENDED PETITION FILED ON
BEHALF OF THE MINOR
EDWARD.
PARTIAL DISTRIBUTION OF THE Es-
TATE Is ASKED For BY THE
GUARDIAN

SAN JOSE, March 1S.-Edward A. Bar
ron, minor. by ]. f. Brown, his guardian,
has filed an amended petition for partial
distribution OF the estate. John H. Dick
inson is attorney,
The pet ~a.s er AYERS that he was born on
the 9th d. of February, 1881, that he is a
son of Edward Barron, deceased, and Wini-
fred Morton. Petitioner AYERS that at his
birth and for many years thereafter he was
received into the family of the deceased
Edward Barron, his father. and that al
ways and up to his death the deceased
recognized petitioner publicly as his child,
and always treated him as if he were a
legitimate child, End did thereby adopt pc
titioner as and for his legitimate child, and
who thereby became such.
The petition further says: 'That the said
Edward Barron, by an omission, not ap-
pearing to be Intentional, wholly omitted
to provide in his said last will and testa-
ment for your petitioner, so being his legit-
innate child by adoption, as aforesaid, and
your petitioner is therefore entitled to, and
claims the same distributive share in all
and singular the estate of his said deceased
father, as though said deceased had died
intestate.'
The petition recites the heirs, who are
named in the will, who, it is charged, are
the devisees of the whole of the estate,
that this estate is appraised at 81, 300, 900,
and is but little, if at all, in debt. He
further recites the fact of the appointment
of Eva Rose Barron, the executrix, and
says that his distributive share may now
be awarded to him without loss to the
estate.
Petitioner therefore prays that notice of
his application may be given all parties
concerned and that day be set for the
hearing of this petition. At such hearing
he asks that such portion of the estate as
the Court direct be awarded and set aside
to him

Bloodshed Ennected.

SACRAMENTO, March 18.-Chinatown
denizens are in a state of great excitement
tonight, and there is every appearance of
riot and bloodshed before morning. The
police force has been doubled in that quar-
ter and every possible precaution taken to
preserve the peace.
The trouble started through an insult Of
tered by highbinder to the wife of one of
the wealthy Chinese merchants while she
was walking down the street. Some by
ISLANDERS took the woman's part and repri-
manded the tough. He became abusive
and was promptly knocked down.
Swearing vengeance, he mustered his fell
low highbinders, bade them arm them
selves and started out to annihilate the
men who administered the well deserved
beating. The arrival of squad
OF police, who came on a
run from the station-house near by, word
having been conveyed to that place, put
n end for the time being to the projected
hostllltles, but it is feared that blood will
be spilled before morning.

REMAINS QUIET IN PRISON.
The CONVICT AUTHOR WILL
BE SOLITARY FOR SOME
TIME.
The BOARD OF PRISON DIRECTORS
FAIL TO ORDER BACHMAN's
RELEASE.

FOLSOM, March 1S.-Charles F. Bach.
man, Folsom's ,author-convict, will
remain in solitary confinement for at least
another month, as no definite action was
taken in the matter by the Board of Prison
Directors at the meeting last night. This
means that very definite action was taken,
for the decision as to Bachman's term OF
close confinement will now be left to War
den Aull.
Bachman, it will be remembered, has
been undergoing extra punishment since
the first of the year, his offense being by
surreptitious means the sending out OF
letters rejecting on the management OF
the prison and having in his possession a
loaded pistol Bachman is the convict
who wrote a very highly spiced novel,
Redeemed for the publication of which
Warden Aull advanced $3.50.
In letters to lawyer Bachman claimed
that the Warden was entitled only to half
the profits on the book, but kept them all.
He said also that Aull was partner in the
copyright of the book; this Mr. Aull de.
MED. He admitted that he had loaned
Bachman the money, taking the copyright
as security, but not intending to claim any
OF the profits of the book, which was really
failure. He had the author put into soli-
tary confinement for sending out the com.
plants mentioned above, and his action
was sustained by the Prison Directors.
who were inclined to severity because a
loaded pistol was found on Bachman when
he was taken in charge.
Bachman pleaded guilty to having a
pistol in his possession, but he repeated
his charges with regard to the partnership
in the book, claiming he had given Aull a
half interest in it in consideration of the
latter getting him a pardon The board
found him guilty, took off years credits
and ordered him into solitary confinement
until their next meeting. There he has re-
mained ever since, shut out entirely from
association with the other prisoners. At
last he made a written statement for
Warden Aull, that his assertions to the
directors and the charges of the Warden
having promised him a pardon for half
interest in his book were false.
This fact is well known to the board.
They decided, however, not to consider the
matter, although they will probably give
Warden Aull informal directions to treat
the prisoner as he thinks will be most con-
ducive to prison discipline. This will mean
another thirty days confinement in soli-
tary for Bachman.
Neither the newly appointed Prison
Director, Fitzgerald, nor his predecessor,
Mr.. Ivory, were in attendance at the meet
ing of the board, which disconsolately dis
cussed their much-mutilated appropriation
bills. Owing to the small amount of money
allowed them, they cannot carry out the
suggestions of the Legislature to employ
the convicts in remunerative labor exc ept
IN the quarries. Steps will be taken to
establish general market for the Folsom
granite as soon as practicable.
