A DISPATCH from Shanghai says 1t Is
reported there that the Chinese have
massacred all the missionaries at Chin
tn. ftho report be true. it will not
be at all surprising. There is nothing
so blood thirsty as fanatic mob, even
in civilized and Christian countries.
How could it be otherwise then among
the heather? All nations are now,
and have always been, more sensitive
about their religion than any thing
else. Why, even in Virginia, Mormon
elders, not polygamists, are driven out
of the State whenever they attempt to
make proselytes. The Chinese relig-
ion is older than the Christian; it
is the faith of the people of China now
as it was Of their earliest ancestors,
and when an attempt is made to scorn
it, and to impose any of the one hum
dred and fifty Christian religions upon
Them. it is by no means strange that
they should revolt, knowing, as they DO,
that there can be but one true religion,
and naturally believing that that one
is the one in which they and their fatt-
ers, to the remotest generation, have
been brought up; nor is it wonderful
that their ire should now be at burning
heat against foreigners as, being super
itious, they attribute to them all
the evils that have recently befallen
their country. There is more need
for missionaries in the slums OF
any of the cities of this country than in
China, and if at work therein they
would not be msssacred.

The Baldwin-Yeoman Tragedy.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, June 1O.-The
death of Yeoman, who was shot by P.
w. Baldwin Saturday morning, is ex-
pected at any moment, and the doctors
fear that Mrs. Baldwin sustained ss-
rious, if not internal injuries from the
blows rained upon her by her angry
husband. The doctors believe her
brooding over the occurrence will un-
hinge her mind, even if she RECEIVERS
from her physical injuries. Lying at
the point of death, so weak that he
could only speak at intervals, Yeoman
denied last night that there had ever
been anything improper in his relations
with Mrs. Baldwin. Mr.. Baldwin's
preliminary trial will be held on June
20, when he will probably be discharged
as public opinion here is all in his favor.

THE POSITIONS of police commission
ers-new oflices-to be filled in July
next by the City Council, seem to
possess many attractions, Judging from
the number Of candidates who are seek
ing TO fill them. These positions are
strictly offices of trust, without any
emoluments whatever, and for them
citizens having the full confidence Of
the community, and possessed OF the
knowledge of directing men, duties
and with stamina to see Their
directions carried out, should be chosen.
Under the new law, the commissioners
will have entire charge of the police
force of the city, and the efficiency Of
this force will depend entirely upon the
men who appoint and direct it.
Therefore men directly interested in
the welfare and prosperity of the city
should be selected.

A GRANDDAUGHTER of the author of
the Star Spangled Banner, who has met
sad reverses, is now old and indi-
gent. An expensive monument is to
be erected by public subscription to her
grandfather's memory. The song will
survive the country, but the poor old
lady referred to will soon be gone. If
some of the money to be spent on the
monument to the dead grandfather
were appropriated to the relief of the
necessities of the live granddaughter,
wouldn't it be placed where it would do
the most good? and if the former could
speak, wouldn't he express himself to
that effect ?

THE POTATO patch scheme has

THE democrats of Queen Anne
county, Maryland, like those of the
other counties of that State where pri-
maries had previously been held, have
elected German delegates to their con-
vention, and those of the remaining

to fall in with the procession. Mary

DEATH OF w. B. IsAAcs.-Mr. Will
liam B. Isaacs, one of the most promi.
nent and widely-known Masons in
America, died very suddenly early yes
terday morning at his home on Frank
lin street, Richmond. He had been in
feeble health since about a year ago,
when he suffered stroke of paralysis,
but was able to be out during Saturday
afternoon. He awoke early yesterday
morning, and Mrs. Isaacs, as was GUS
tomary, gave him some stimulant. She
left him sitting in chair, and noticing
that he was not looking well, went to
her sons room and informed him.
About this time they heard heavy fall,
and fastening back they found Mr..
Isaacs lying on the floor dead.
Mr.. Isaacs was seventy-eight years of
age and had been an ardent Mason from
early manhood. He was prominent
business man in Richmond for many
years, but more than quarter of cer-
fury ago entered the Office of DR.. Dove
to assist him as secretary of the grand
lodge, grand chapter and grand COM
mandery of Virginia. Upon the death
of DR.. Dove Mr.. Isaacs, who had prac-
tically filled the Office during his declin-
ing years, was chosen as his successor.
He had been the efficient grand secreta-
ry ever since, and for number of years
had also been grand secretary of the
grand encampment of the United States.
Few men were so we'll versed in Ma
sonic lore.
A wife, one daughter and three sons
survive him. One son is in California.
Mr.. Frank Isaacs is of the engineer
department of the Chesapeake and
Ohio, and Mr.. William B. Isaacs, jr.,
has been his fathers assistant for
year. The funeral will take place from
the Masonic Temple Tuesday afternoon
and will be an imposing event. The
grand lodge, grand chapter and grand
commandery will attend.
