The fastest war vessel afoat is own

boat, the Forban, recently tried, built
Under a contract for a speed Of 20 to
80 knots, easily made 30.2 knots, or
34.7 lana miles per hour, despite a
heavy sea and high wind, which shows
her to be faster than any other ship in
the world. The Forban is IA feet long

engines are capable of developing $500

There goes d man. said gentlenaH
who caught last glimpse Of the per-
son who built the unoceupied quarters
OF the Bohemian club. "who did one Of
the best things I ever saw done IN
court of law. 1t was back Ia Nevada
in early days, when he was inclined to
do little more work than he does now
and when mines were being sought for
by everybody. He lived out in the east
ern part of the State, and being an edu-
Gated man, he was frequently utilized
by the miners In the settlement of dis
butes and the adjustment Of knotty
questions. On one occasion q stranger
stole some mining implements from one
Of Wenban's friends and the case was
taken into the justice court, the defend
ant demanding a jury trial. Wenban
told the defendant that he would ap-
pear for him and see that the affair was
settled in the most approved Western
style.
when court convened Wenban was
on hand TO appear for his client. The
defendant took the stand and made q
statement touching upon the case, and
when he had finished the judge said
cross examine
1.-THE self-made attorney looked stead
lily into the eye of the accused man
and blurted out in a loud voice: What
did you ever do for a living besides
steal?
Nothing answered the defendant.
Gentlemen Of the jury resumed
Mr.. Wenban, listen to the evidence of
the accused. l rest the case on the
testimony right here
'"The judge was furious, but the jury
brought in a verdict of guilty, 1t was
the first and last case Wenban ever
took, and he certainly cleaned 1t up
with wonderful rapidity. Fran

The Chinese WaShermen have sySe
tenn of ticketing a bundle Of soiled
clothes based on the many gods and
goddesses of the laundry. Though it is
complicated, the laundryman seldom
delivers a bundle Of washed clothes to
the wrong person.
Furthermore, if the ticket is lost, the
chances are that you will not get your
linen, unless you are particular friend
Of the proprietor. Instances are on rec
ord wheEe an American has gone to
court to force the Chinese to yield up
the washing, but the judge was not
convinced that the case Of the white
man was a good one.
The Chinese laundryman at the be-
ginning Of each week makes out a
batch Of checks, in duplicate, to be used
as wash tickets. He selects the name of
some god or goddess. or Of some OBJ
ject, as the sun, the moon, or the stars.
To this name he prefxes a number, as
''Moon, No. /, b" "Moon, No. 2" and SO
on.

MOB Law.

It has been intimated to us occasion
ally that cur! constant denunciation of
mob law might become wearisome 10
our readers. Whether this is true we
cannot say, but in any event our mind
is made up We mean to fight it out
on that line if it takes twenty years.
Believing, as we do, in Divine author
ity of civil government, we have no
course left us but to oppose with all our
might the reckless and fatal policy Of
putting human beings to death without
the form and processes of fair trial. Are
the citizens Of this country prepared to
throw away the heritage of civilization,
and to go back 10 the penal methods of
Comancho savages. 1t is time to speak
plainly. Are cur sherilf5, judges and
iuries incapable and corrupt. If so, it
is disgrace to us. Are our statutes so
awkwardly framed that criminals can
slip through them without punishment
If so, we ourselves are TO blame. The
very suggestion that a mob is ever a
necessity is a terrible Indictment to the
community. Christian Advocate, Nov
Z, 1895.
