A DECAYING MONSTER.

China is developing a great many
weak points. Probably the weakest
point is that revealed at a recent
meeting of the New York Aldfne
club, where the evening was given
over to Oriental matters. Among
the guests was a Chinaman, who,
the Critic says, spoke eloquently of
the war in the East, declaring that
1.-The great body Of his countrymen
at home would welcome the mikado
as their deliverer from the Tartar
dynasty that has dominated his race
for centuries" If this feeling is at
all widespread, it accounts for
and inefficiency.
The correspondent of the New
York Times says that China, instead
of being the sleeping leviathan it
has been generally regarded, lis a
decaying monster, resting upon
pedestal of corruption and barbar-
ism" No man of real influence in
China is ever sent abroad. It's min
listers are scholars who have sue
ceeded in fraudulently getting a de-
gree for, the son of a high official
| by writing his essay for him, his re-
ward being a foreign mission. Spec
ulation, embezzlement, knocking
down" on the part of officials is so
j prevalent as to not only excite no
question or protest, but to be re-
| garded as the proper and necessary
thing. Worthless and antiquated
munitions of war have been bought
= at high figures, fat commission go
ing into the pockets of the officials.
The condition of utter and shame
less corruption revealed by this cor
respondent, taken in connection with
| the expression of the guest of the
Aldlne club, is sufficient to account
| for the easy manner in which the
| Yankees of the Orient have swept
aside the armies and navies of their
| opponents. Another element of
/ weakness is the entire absence of
anything like military knowledge or
! tactics in their field operations.
| While the Japanese have been
utilizing the lessons they have been
! learning in European military
schools, the Chinese are little beyond
the plane they were half a century
ago when their idea of an attack
/ or defense was the use of instru-
ments making a terrific noise. The
Times correspondent says that
among the schemes proposed by the
: military mandarins is one to send a.
junk load Of dynamite, covered over
with vegetables, out to the Japanese
heet, bring it alongside the flagship
and let the devoted attendant blow

TOO MUCH ELBOW GREASE.
Washing Need Not Be the Labori-
GUS Work 1t Is Often Found.

81 have found" said one of those
modern housekeepers whose ideas, ac-
cording to the Milwaukee Journal,
would horrify her maternal ancestors
if they could but hear them, that ell
bow grease, when applied to laundry
work, is not the much to be praised
thing that / have always been
brought up to believe it was, and that
in some cases it is a detriment to sue
cessfGl and careful washing. By dint
of many experiments l have diScoV-
cred that a small table or flat board
and a soft, small scrubbing brush will
work wonders. [ can take al ordi-
nary garment with collar and sleeves

soap and kerosene oil and let it
stand over night, or prepare it and
keep it in a stoppered jug or bottle.
With a soft brush rub the collar and
cuffs and all of the soiled places, then
roll the garment up for few min
utes while others are being DONE
When all are prepared begin with the

of ten the garment will need no fur

clothes being merely scalded. They
need not be boiled for any length of
time, but should have about one or
three minutes in actually boiling suds.
This dissolves any gummy substances
that may not rub out of the fibers, and
makes the clothes more clean and GER
tainly more healthful. Clothes
soaked over night in warm suds made
with the soap and kerosene mixture
will wash easier and look better, to

The moral sentiment back of the
proposition to raise the age of con-
sent to eighteen years is unquestion-
ably honest and earnest, but there
are arguments against this, as there
are against other good things. In
the first place, it is another way of
saying that no girl shall be married
until she is eighteen years of age, a
proposition which may be proper
enough, but which, nevertheless, is
debatable. But the most substan-
tial ground of opposition lies in the
fact that in some states where a
similar law has been enacted, it has
been made use of for Matchmaking
purposes by designing scoundrels
who find in the severe penalties a
means of extorting money from VIC
tins who have been duped into asso-
citation with girls who are young in
years, but old and trained in the de-
vices of sin. If all girls under eigh-
teen were honest and virtuous, the
law would unquestionably be a good
one, but it is an unfortunate fact
that they are not.

DOMINIC A VEIL.
An Accomplishment Few Women
Have and Fewer Acquire.

An Accomplishment Few Women
Have and Fewer Acquire.
1t is an accomplishment worth ac-
curing in these days when American
women go abroad almost as universally
yelled as the beauties of the Orient to
put ones veil on successfully, that is
so that the hair is securely in position
the veil itself does not droop below
the hat brim at any point, and neither
hangs loose nor draws across the
face, rendering a wink inconvenient
and the nose martyr to the tickling
sensation which every wearer of the
veil knows. Half the beauty of the
veil, or, more strictly, the enchant-
ment of beauty which the veil gives,
is due to the way it is put on.
Worse than no veil at all is the veil
put on before the bonnet is assumed,
as one fashion writer recommends
The filing meshes, pressed closely
against the face and hair leave no
room for the charming illusory eff
feet which is the veiPs chief excuse
for being" The first requirement in
veil is that it shall be of unstinted
size, double-width, unless it is to be
worn with very small bonnet, a yard
long, so that it may be gathered up
in generous folds over the hat brim
and pinned-a veil should never be tied
well up at the back of the hat. A
better fit and prettier effect is
given by little cluster of gathers di-
rectly in the middle of the front 1t
is to be hoped that women will some
time learn that wells figured with
sprigs, or, indeed, anything but unob-
trusive dots, are never becoming and
make them look, as man was
heard to remark the other day, "as
if their faces were covered with flies"

The appointment of Messrs. Jacob
son, Dare, Dingman, Kelly and John
son as members of the legislative
investigating committee to report
on the amount of salaries and fees
paid the employees and boards of the
state is the best list Of appointments
yet made by Speaker Van SAINT. The
gentlemen of the Third house will
need no suggestions from any source
to induce them to steer clear of this
committee. Whatever business it
transacts will be strictly on the
square and without reference to the
wishes of the politicians, who are
generally permitted to run such in
vestigations. The committee will
probably never be able to accom-
plish all that is desirable, but it will
go as far in that direction as the
circumstances and the limited time
will permit.

NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-Four directors
of the National Shoe and Leather bank
retired today, and one of the four IL
coming directors will take the position
of vice president of the bank. Reor-
ganiZation of the bank has been consid-
cred inevitable ever since the discovery
of the theft of 1854. 1000 from it by Book
keeper Seeley and deposition named
Baker. The robbery wiped out all the
banks surplus and impaired the capt.
ital. The impairment was made good,
however, by an assessment of 25 per
cent upon the stockholders. and at the
same time new surplus was created
eliminated.

OUTRAGES IN COLLEGE
Drunken Students Break Into
Rooms or Girl Students.

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, Feb. 15.-Trou
Die has again broken out at the Wyom-
ng seminary at Kingston. Last No.
vember sensation was caused at the
seminary by number of students NAL
treating Herbert Braimham, sopho-
more. The principal reprimanded all
Dartle S, but the affair caused ill-feeling
in the school. Some of the students
became rebellions and gave the pro.
fessors much trouble. Last Friday
night party of students broke into
several rooms in the female department.
1t is said the boys were intoxicated.
The screams OF the girls attracted Prof.
Lake, but when he attempted to 90 to
their rescue he found that his room had
been secured with rope. He burst the
door open, but in the meantime the stu,
dents ha d fed to their rooms. Prof.
Sprague, after basty investigation,
expelled the ringleaders, F. Fl. Lay
cock. r. W. Rymer and David Reese,
and it is said that more students will be
expelled in day or two.

If these Democratic ambassadors
who are begging for an increase of
their salaries would realize that they
are representing a republic and not
a monarchy, democracy and not
an aristocracy, and cut their gar
ment to their cloth, they would bet
ter conserve their dignity and that
of the republic. If Ambassador
Eustis cannot find suitable habita-
ton in Paris for less than $4,000 a
year, or if he feels obliged to live
in house that commands such a
rental he should either pay it and
not growl or resign. There is no OBJ
Hgat1on on him to spend $1,000 once
year on a ball. or another 1900 in
entertaining American naval Of
f1cers. No official duty or obligation
of any kind makes it necessary to
spend $4,000 a year for livery hire.
1t might be we'll enough for Repub-
Hcan ambassadors, representing a
policy that is closely related to
monarchy, to- keep up the pace that
monarchy sets, but it ill becomes
Democrats to follow their example.
In fact their best mission abroad
is to contrast the simplicity of a re-
public with the extravaganza pro-
f1igacy of monarchies, and they serve
their country lily by trying to
ape it.

Pennsylvania Road Experiment

ING WIFI EIeCtrIclty.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 15.-The Penn
sylvania Railroad company is about to
award the contract for eQuipping the
Burlington branch of the Amboy di-
vision with the trolley system. This
branch connects Burlington and Mount
Holly, n. j., and is between seven and
eight miles in length. Should the ex-
pertinent prove successful several other
branches of the Pennsylvania will be
operated by electricity instead of steam.
The intention is to give frequent SER
vice at high speed. The change of mo-
tive power will not prevent the use of
steam locomotives on the bra nch, and
they will probably be used as at present
for hauling freight.

DEMOCRATS HOLD A CAUCUS
But Fail to Take a Vote
Councilmen Are Some
L.what Divided.

Tt is certain that the next city
attorney will be a Democrat, put
who will be the fortunate Democrat
is not by any means certain. The
subject was discussed last evening
in the mayors Office by eight of the
eleven Democratic members OF the
common council who assembled
there presumably to hold caucus.
But there was no caucus, for no
vote was taken. There was a good
reason for this. The remaining
three Democrats-Assem Par
ker and Van Slyke and Aid. Ehr-
manntraut-were absent. The latter
is ill and the other two are out Of
the city. John Ives, Ed Darragh and
David F. PEBBLES, three of the candi-
dates for City Attorney Chamber
lain's place, were present during the
deliberations, but the fourth candi-
date, J. c. Michaels, was absent.
The session was held behind closed
doors, and lasted about three-quar-
tiers of an hour. At it's conclusion
the representatives of the press were
admitted, and informed that the ses-
sion was purely informal, and that
no vote was taken, but that it was
certain that a Democrat would sue
coed Mr.. Chamberlain, and that he
would be one of the four candidates
named. They were also told that
the three absent members would
stand by the caucus if one was held
in their absence.
But there appears to be some mis-
understanding about this last state
ment. Some of the members present
said that Messrs. Parker and Van
Slyke had assured them that they
would stand by the caucus AS far
as Mr.. Van Slyke is concerned, it
seems
HE WAS MISQUOTED.
1t so happened that Mr.. Van Slyke
returned home late last night. When
Informed of the statements given
out after the meeting, Mr.. Van Slylze
said:
ut is not true that 1 said, or even
intimated that [ would stand by the
caucus. On the contrary, [ stated
positively that would not stand by
the caucus unless l saw fit to do so.
L have also been misrepresented by
an evening paper, which informed
its readers that I was supporting
Mr.. Darragh for city attorney. This
is incorrect, for my choice is Mr..
al 10
Assemblyman Parker will also sup
port Mr.. Michael, and so will Mr..
Strouse. [ am confident that Mr..
Parker feels as I do about standing
by any caucus. He will do so if he
sees fit. It all depends upon the
choice of the caucus"
"W1ll you attend the next caucus.
Mr.. Van Slyke?''
Il may, and 1 may not" was the
reply.
Had a vote been taken last night,
John Ives would have undoubtedly
received six out of the eight votes.
Aid. Brady, Murphy, Ulmer, Kar-
tax and Hare and Assemblyman
Robb are known to be his support
ers. 1t is believed that Aid. VOLTS
choice is Mr.. PEBBLES, while Aid.
Ehrmanntraut favors Mr.. Darragh.
But Mr.. Ives has majority of the
eleven Democrats in the council.
The meeting adjourned subject to
the call OF Chairman Brady, who will
probably call the caucus as soon as
Assemblyman Parker returns from
