The Ex-VicerO. of Sechucn Not to Be
Bnnished at Britain's Demand.


A Shanghai press dispatch says: China
has rejected 1t Is reported here, the Brit
ish demand for the Punishment of the ex-
viceroy of Sechuen. An imperial decree APP
points Ii Hung Chang ard all the members
of the Tsungli Yamen foreign ministry to
formulate an extra treaty between China
and Japan.
Liu Ping Chang was deposed as viceroy
of Sechuen province for corruption.
During the slew working of the Chinese
official machinery in getting him out Of
Office and another viceroy in anti-Christan
riots broke out at ChenStu, his capital.
Trese riots were the precursors OF outrages
in other parts of the empire, culmna tin g
in the Ewasang massacre.
Liu Ping Chang is believed by many to
have directly instigated the Sechuen riots
In order to curry favor with the foreign
hating natives, hoping in this way to bring
a popular pressure to bear Upon the en-
peror to reinstate him.
Whetl er he really egged on the Nege-
tar.ans, who perpetrated the outrages, or
not, he is held responsible for the attacks
upon the missionaries and the destruction
OF mission property. because he did not
prevent them, as he might easily have
done had he been SO disposed.

A Grand Prix for Cyclists.
From the London Daily News


The Paris town council proposes to found
a. Grand, Prix de Paris for cyclists, but 1t
will only be of f4GO. Our Paris correspond
emit says: Cycling seems to advance in
arithmetical progression. There are cycling
dress departments for ladies and gentlemen
in all the great shops like the Bon Marche
ard at the Merchant Tailors'. The Velo-
drome, at the Champ de Mars, makes a
fortune, though the city receives from it a
rent of 10000 francs and per cent of all
the money taken at the doors. This royalty
last year brought in 10000 francs. The last
census, taken with view to taxation, re-
turf ed $1,000 in the department of the
Seine.There are perhaps double the number
now, as women are taking up the cycle as
means of enjoying cool country air in
the evening. Every one who cycles is de-
lighted with the exercise and the sense OF
freedom that it gives. 1t brings townspeople
into the country without any of the town
col ditions. I have friends who cycle to
Dieppe on Saturday and back to Paris on
Monday"

Tells Dccnying Chapel.
nm the London Daily News

TrOu the london DHIIS -Ne"s.
A writer in the Bund who has been visit
ing Tells Chapel in the "Hohle Gasse," or
hollow way, in Switzerland, states that the
condition of the building is great scandal.
The walls for the most part are riven;
there are clefts between the window and the
walls: portions Of the turrets and the roof
have fallen: the pictures are half obliterat-
ad and the surroundings consist of an OLA
podrida of all things unclassic and -unlove-
". In fact, this monument of an antique
past presents a sorry sight. The Bund now
makes an appeal to all patriotic hearts in
Switzerland and elsewhere to help to re-
store Tells Chapel if not for the name it
bears, at least for cherished place of
worship in the distant past.

Beyond Their Jurisdiction,

This is a matter beyond your jurisdic-
ton, and will endeavcr to show that your
master and my msster-that is, the law of
the land-has done this. Now. from the
very beginning the argument of Mr.. Davis
here has been heard in all courts and in all
places. You never knew of a business de-
nounced ordinarily as nuisance that was
not carried on without injury TO the neigh
borhood. Always when a man wants a
tannery or any other business that in
wolves nuisance, the neighbors have in
variably been told that 1t will be so con-
Quoted as not to hurt them. Now, 1 make
that remark in relation to the which l pro-
pose to read to you. 1 want to show you
that Congress has very wisely removed a
subject of that sort from courts and indi-
viduals, and defines itself what shall be a
nuisance in respect to the character of bus
iress to be carried on"

THE RiPENINo OF THE WINE.

The Swiss Method of Treating the
Liquid Through Its Preparation for Sale.
The wine in Switzerland is left in the
casks till the following spring. and it is
here that fermentation takes place and
the mout is converted into wine. The
change begins almost Immediately; the
liquid becomes turbid, carbonic acid
gas is evolved, scum is thrown up on
the surface and the temperature rises.
A climax is reached; the intensity of
the fermentation diminishes, subsidies,
the scum settles as a Shiny deposit at
the bottom Of the cask and clear yell
low liquid is left above. The grape
sugar has almost entirely disappeared,
a corresponding amount of alcohol has
taken its place and the sweet taste of
the mout has given place to the charac-
teristic vinous flavor of the wine. In
the early stages of fermentation enor-
nous quantities of carbonic acid gas
are given off, and huge fires are made
in the cellars to drive 1t away, But at
the time'I write of October, 1899 when
the vintage was the finest of the CEN
bul y, Wutu DdIIclS 10 HOlu inc IuOut
could not be purchased for love or
money, when every cellar on the lake,
from Geneva to Villeneuve, was packed
with casks of mout, so great was the
amount of carbonic acid gas in the air
that in spite of every precaution, sew
eral deaths from suffocation took place
among the workers. In the spring the
wine is drawn off clear into other bar
rels, then bottled. Vim ordinaire is not
bottled at all, but simply drawn from
the wood. This is the wine sold at all
the little winshops, with which Swift
Zerland abounds. 1t is drawn off into
quaint little glass decanters, contain
ing half liter each, and so served to
the unhurrying Swiss, who drink it
round little tables under the trees on
the sunny pathways or over wooden
benches inside the red-curtained wine
shops.

Mss WIZARDS ROMANCE.
The w. G. +. q. President Was Once
Courted by a Young Minister.

Courted by Young Minister
The recent rumor regarding the en-
gagement of Miss Frances e. Willard.
president of the National Woman's
Christian Temperance Union, to an
elderly English gentleman of means,
who uses large part of his annual in
come in the furthering of reform move
ments, has recalled to the minds OF
many of Miss Wizards friends in this
country the romance OF her early wom-
anhood. Miss Wizards devotion to the
temperance cause is by no means coeval
with the great crusade of the early 70's,
whose outcome was the organization
of hundreds of Woman's Christian
Temperance Unions. Miss Wizards
parents were among the pioneers of the
great northwest, and brought up their
daughter with very strict, not to say
narrow, views as to the use OF liquor
and tobacco. Miss Willard prepared
herself for teaching, and while pursu-
ing her studies met young man who
was studying for the ministry and who
gave promise of attaining great promi-
hence in his chosen calling. Their
common love Of study attracted them
to each other, and the young man felt
that in Miss Willard he had found the
one woman who, as his wife, would
help him upward and would gracefully
share the honors of the lofty position
at which he was aiming. Nor was Miss
Wizards heart untouched, and the
young mans matrimonial hopes might
have been realized but for her dis
covery that he was addicted to the use
OF tobacco. She very promptly told
him he could choose between tobacco
and herself, and to all his pleadings
opposed the one cry:
IF you love tobacco more than you
do me find some other woman who will
tolerate such habit"
At length he ceased to urge her, and
they went their separate ways, she to
remain single and become president OF
the National Woman's Temperance
Union, and one of the best parliament
arians in the United States, and he to
marry some one else and become one

y Few Opinions.

Anent the petition by few business
men presented to the council last Mon
day evening, asking that body to dis
continue their investigation Of charges
of corruption made against the mayor,
We giving the views Of some other
business men on the same subject, as
follows:
+. +. c. Bryant; Stop the investiga
ton? Yes. stop a fever by conceaIIng
the cause until families are rotten with
it. What bosh-and coming from bust
ness men. On the contrary, clean the
"Augean stables" while we can.
I. N.Badgly, real estate: The at
tempt, at this stage Of the game TO
throttle investigation is not only cow
ardly but nm air and | wish TO register
my thanks TO our city fathers for the
stand they took when the matter came
before them on Monday evening.
Attorney W. d. DIVER: l believe
the so-balled movement of merchants
is ill-adyised: if any harm could nave
been done by the investigation by out
side advertising it has already been
accomplished: if any charges as made
are proven, 10 dismiss the proceedings
would be to advocate corruption in
municipal affairs and could not be taken
in any other light.
G. H. Sunderland: | DO not believe
there is one business man who signed
that petition who can say that their
business has been hurt in the least. 1t
is the real estate men and it cannot
hurt our business at present. People
will buy clothes and other things be
ceause they are compelled to, but they
will not buy real estate unless as lux
ury. 1t works E;t:te hardship at pres
ent, but when il is over it Will be the
best thing that ever took place in the
city.
Ex-Mator +. c. Kennedy: The coun-
ell has gone so far that it has got to 90
on to Il finish, or accept boodleism as
the acknowledged sentiment of the
community. The prosperity of this city
depends upon the investment of money
from the East. And | cannot recon-
mend the investment of capital in a
city where boodleism is charged and
upheld by petitions or shielded in any
way from the public condemnation by
sitting investigation.
