They VIII ApDSaI.

Colonel T. q. Martin, one of the coun-
sellors for Nv. p. Bowman, gave out
yesterday that he would make an ap-
peal to the board of pardons for his
client, who IS now under sentence of
death, and will be executed as soon
as the governor names a day. Colonel
Martin says he is now in possession of
evidence, which, If brought out at the
time of the trial, would have secured
his clients acquittal. The testimony is
to the effect that the Ara bian was not
robbed by the boys and that his COM
panion was lying when he gave his
avilanna.

HOW TO BE HAPPY.

To prevent disease, preserve health
and prOlong life, are the objects to
be obtained in successful medical prac-
tice. DR.. Gilman has MADE the phe-
nomena of Functional and Organic Dis
eases the study of his life. Early
realizing that disease is discord and
health concord, he uses his best skill
in so prescribing for thousands OF
patients as to restore concordance OF
functions, and overcome destructive
forces which undermine constitutional
vigor. No person whose case has
baffled the skill OF the family physi-
clan should fail to consult DR.. Gilman,
wha has few, if any, superiors as q
skilled expert in functional and or
ganic diseases. Any invalid who
values life. health and happiness,
should not miss this opportunity OF
getting an opinion of his case. A
consultation will cost nothing and
may be the means of bringing health
and happiness.

THE THEATRE HAT.

California has finally adopted law
regulating the size Of the hats which
women shall wear at the theatres.
California should have better sense.
The law might as we'll not be on the
statute books so Ions as vain and in
considerable women are guided in their
choice Of wearing apparel by nothing
but fashion. There is one thing, how
ever. that may indirectly affect the
seusibuides OF the wearers Of the pes
tiferous headgear. and that is public
sentiment which shall be of sufficient
force to become the urwritten law and
30 over-rule fashion and to alter custom
jim compliance with the demands Of civ
liz zion and the deceucies Of life.
An encouraging sign that such SEN
tment is aroused is siven by a contem-
porury which records an instance OF q
lady who actually turned to the man in
the seat behind her and inquired if her
bonnet INSTRUCTED his view Of the
sUee.
There is hope now of the subsistence
OF the lofty beadgear to the proper low

of q bonnet" which IS so becoming in

some of the schemes OF defense de-
v.sed by the Chinese mandarirs
AGAINST the attacks Of the Japs are
truly Chinese in the astonishing com
binauon they present Of chudlike SIM
pucity. originality and ingenuity.
one plan was to charge the enemy
with cayenne pepper. to be carried i'm
hin paper bags ana Gung i'm The air
over the heads orthe advancing nran-
try. While the JaDs were writhing in
confusion the Chinese were TO slaugh-
ter them at their leisure.
A plan to dispose Of the Jap feet was
TO hire a man 90 approach the flagship
fn a Junk. with decks covered with
vegetables. but with an enormous
charge of dynamite below decks, with
mss burning. the combination being
timed to explode when the junk had
cot well up under the snip, carrying
the whole business heavenward with
the Chinaman in the lead.
Another scheme was to hire q couple
OF men to approach the ship on ap-
parently important business, and while
one ensaged the attention of the officer
az the deck. the other, who would be
encased i'm torpedo, was to dive under
the bottom Of the ship, touch himself
oil and blow the whole outfit to king
dom come.
This looks as if the Chinese had
Dot-iotism to burn, or, rather. to blow
mn when. in truth, such thing is un-
Known to the Chinese nature, which
has not even pride Of locality. Life is
eo Cheap in China and the Chinese
character so peculiar that men can
easily be hired to serve as walking tor
Ds5oes and touch themselves or for q
mere pittauce. The average China
man has no deep interest in anyone or
onvtbing. and having nothing in par
ocular TO live for, win sell his life on
easy terms.
