CHINESE DIPLOMATS BUY BIKES.
They are Practicing Up So That in the Next
War They Can Escape.

Washington, July 17-Chinese Minis
ter Yang Yu and his associates seem
determined to accommodate them
selves to American customs. They are
especially attracted to the new electric
and cable cars, and it is a common
sight of an evening to see eight or ten
of them riding from one end of the line
to the other. On these excursions the
wife Of the minister is frequently a
member of the party, for she goes about
with as much freedom as the women Of
America. Her movements, however.
are hampered by her ridiculously small
feet. While the male members OF the
party move along the street sedately
enough, keeping up a continual chatter,
Mrs Yang Yu is compelled to hobble
along as best she can at the side of her
husband. But the fad that appeals
most to Cinnamon is bicycling, and they
take a delight in showing their pro-
ficiency as Wheelmen. With feet prop
ped up on the coasters, silken costumes
ornamented with gliUtering gold but
tons and tightly plated pigtails stream
ing out behind, a member of the Chin
csc legation on a bike presents a spec
tacle never TO be forgotten. They sell
dom grow enthusiastic over anything,
and il must be an extraordinary occur
renee that will break their stolid coun-
tenances. Bicycle riding, however,
seems TO fill the bill for them so far as
earthly happiness is concerned, and
they appear tickled with their ma
chimes. The Chinese, however, are not
the only legation people who have taken
up the bicycle, for ladies of the diplo-
matte corps are as badly smitten with
the new fad as their liege lords, and
the schools of instruction at the ma
tional capital are taxed TO their utmost
with pupils who want TO learn TO ride
the silent Steed.

IRWIN IN THE FIELD.
He Too is Making the Graud Circuit In the
Interest of Pond Creek.

Now Tom Irwin is in the field as a
begging missionary for Oklahoma He
is at Topeka and one Of the papers Their
has the following 10 say about him:
T. J. Irwin. Presbyterian minister Of
Pond Creek, o. T.. was in Topeka yes
terday. He brought a sad story from
his town and its vicinity.
Want and desolation." he said, ARE
Widespread. The newspapers have said
little, and the people in general Go not
realize our condition. Following the
restitution OF last year, the drouth Of
this season has fulfilled the worst fears
that had been entertained.
There is food for neither man nor
beast Later rains may produce some
thing for stock feed. but nothing for the
people. who are already living on corn
meal, or perhaps crackers. Some Of
them are even without the means 10
buy meal"
Mr. Irwin speaks Of the terrible con-
dition at his home in a way that leaves
no doubt 81 the feeling they inspire in
one who has seen them for himself
1t is terrible. terrible. l saw two men
and a child starve-Starve and die
even before 1 started on my mission.
IL must be worse now.
The mission referred 10 is 10 get
contributions for the sufferers. Food.
money or Clothes" he says, but food
above all things"
Mr.. Irwin was formerly al Wichita,
where. before receiving his charge as
a minister. he was for a bong time secre-
rary OF the board OF education He is
we'll known az Wichita and other
places. Il shall not ask Topeka for
contributions, he said. for her people
have already been appealed 10 and re-
sponded. although through heartless
deception their kind contributions were
used for mercenary ends l shall. en-
deavor 10 reach other places, however.
in better circumstances than the terri
tory"
He is on his way 20 the west. where
he will work through Colorado. Utah.
Arizona and Texas
