GOOD FIGHTERS.
Chinese Soldiers Arc Fearless and Infinit
In Numbers.

In Numbers.
Our knowledge of the modern China
man in battle has been derived from
the wars of 1888 and 1884 with the
French.
According to the French narratives
Of the war in Tonquin, the Chinese
generals were deficient in strategy; but
the rank and file fought SO desperately,
with such utter disregard for life, that
they generally won the battles, and
the campaigns ended in French re-
treats. Admiral Courbet covered him
self with glory by his operations on the
River Min. which ended in the destruc-
ton OF the Chinese arsenals and ship
yards, but the admiral had to make all
haste to withdraw his force; If he had
delayed, not ship nor a man would
have escaped, says the San Francisco
Argonaut.
So at the conflict on the island of
Formosa. The speed with which the
French landed was outstripped by the
speed with which they reembarked
French officers who have seen the Chi
nese in the field shake their heads
when foreigners talk lightly Of their
military proves. In fact, the ques-
ton speaks for itself. Given a prac-
tically indefinite number Of fighting
men, every one OF whom is ready to die
on the field, it goes without saying
that 1t cannot be overcome by weaker
force

Establish a RefOrmatOry.
Monroe Journal.

If the coming Legislature will pro-
vide for the establishment of reforrna-
tory it will be about the best way in
which they can employ their time. To
place young criminals, oftimes mere
children, in the penitentiary by the
side of hardened criminals is worse
than inhuman, ii is criminal Our
present system whereby we must either
put young criminals in the penitentiary
with hardened and veteran criminals
or turn them out on society without
restraint is bad. The penitentiary is
alright and proper for hopeless crimi-
nails but it is not the thing for crimi-
nails who are convicted of small crimes
and for whom there is hope Of reform.
Let US have reformatory.

FOR FAIR ELECTIONS.
[CharlOtte Times. I


Messrs. Woodland and Mclean, the
two Democrats who were awarded
certificates of election by the State
Canvassing Board in accordance with
law have declined to accept their COM
missions, as has been stated i'll the
Times. Their action in this matter is
highly creditable. Though legally
declared elected they declined to &C
cept because through errors of return
ing boards and clerks they had re-
ceived majority, whereas upon their
face the returns showed a majority for
their opponents Like men they were
not willing to accept any Office to
which another was the popular choice
This same impulse ought to actuate
all right thinking men. The object Of
elections is to ascertain the will Of the
majority They ought to be conducted
fairly. They never will be absolutely
SO while human nature remains what
it is now. There has been fraud in
this State in time past we suppose, but
not more than has occurred elsewhere.
But we started out TO say that law
which makes possible an occurrence
like that in which Messrs. Woodland
and Mclean have figured needs amend
ing. There is something wrong with
it somewhere, and while we have no
sympathy with the old Republican
cry Of wholesale fraud, we are in favor
of changing the present law or amend
ing it if by SO doing it can be made
fairer and less liable to fraud. "a
free ballot and fair count is
necessary to the preservation OF the
liberties Of our people.

One of the many superstitious fears
that render the laborers from sunny
Italy 50 generally docile was recently
taken advantage of by shrewd Irish
foreman employed on public job.
There was a misunderstanding likely
to result In general strike, and he as
semoled the men together, listening
patiently to their statement of griev-
ances. When they concluded, be called
to his side the bookkeeper Of the con-
tractor, man with penetrating dark
eyes, one of them quite still because it
was artificial. The foreman stated
with emphasis, the only terms upon
which he would compromise, and the
bookkeeper kept his evil eye" fixed
on the crowd. The terms were ac-
cepted without murmur, and the
crowd hastily dispersed. The book
keeper was entirely unconscious Of per-
forming any part In determining the
controversy.

THE BLESSINGS THAT COME UNA

CHARLES EUGENE BANKS.

We thank Thee, 0 Father Of Mercy,
For the blessings that come una wares,
Well knowing what's won by pursuing,
But adds to the sum OF our cares.
From morning to morning we labor,
The task we would do is not done,
And the things that seem great in the
distance
Are nothing when once they are won.
No one thing is won by our worship,
And all things when clasped in the hand
Are naught but the signs Of the music,
The symphony only is grand.
The mamma that falls in the desert
The dry, dusty desert OF strife,
Is sweeter than fruit to whose growing
We've given the years OF our life.
The joy is in building the temple,
The substance Is less than the dream,
And the song that we sing but the echo
Or the perfect one heard in the stream.
In vain through the volumes of wisdom
We seek for the blissful, and 10,

And resign it, c0mfOrtless prize.

The bush for promises sweet.

ABOUT CLEANING LAMPS.
A Duty That is Too Frequently Neg
lected-SOme Very Useful Hints.

Those who use oil for illuminating
purposes, and so often with unsatisfaC-
tory results, may profit by the following
hints contributed by lady to the
Richmond Disbaich:
Why do my lamps give a more bril-
liant light than those in other houses
she repeated. Possibly because | take
better care of them.
Few women boil out their burners
This should be done at least once a
week. | rub mine off first with paper.
then place them all in saucepan of
boiling water and soap-suds. There
they remain for thirty minutes, when
they are rinsed off with clear Lot
water, laid to drain, and afterward
carefully rubbed and polished witt.
bit of old flannel. | find this the only
way to prevent smoking or unseemly
greasiness.
This is my systematic weekly wash
ing schedule. AS to the wicks, fancy
in most lamps they are not changed
frequently enough. l put in a new
one every week. The lamp is apt 10
smoke unless this is done Then never
cut your wick. Your eye for :. curve
may be excellent, but III warrant the
arc of your flame will never be lorfect
if scissors have been called into play.
When the wick is inserted simply burn
the end off. The blaze will make It's
own pathway more artistically than
you could do, and the after light will
have no ragged edges. Every morn
ing nip all the burned edges away with
flannel cloth.
a vital point for the maintenance of
strong glow is the daily replenishing
of the oil. Never let the wick strain
for its sustenance. Without good
nourishment wicks, like mortals, will
emit very feeble flame
OF course, my chimneys are polished
every morning. They are {" soused' -
into generous pan of hot water and
soap-suds and polished off with
channels.
There is no denying, she concluded,
that lamps require such attention, but
they are grateful and respond in such a
brilliant manner that one never be-
grudges the time spent on them.

AN OLD COLD.
Is Chronic Catarrh. the Worst Disease
Known.

The first stage of catarrh is COM
monty called catching cold. 1t may
begin in the head, nose, throat or
lungs. In the majority of cases no
attention is paid to cold, therefore
nearly half of the people have chronic
catarrh in some form. TO neglect a
cold is to invite ca;arrh.
The second stage Of ca,arrh IS some
times called an old cold. If il the
head, there is roaring, cracking in the
ears, periodical headache, and con-
fusion Of the senses. If in the nose,
discharge, sneezing, noisy breathing,
and bad breath. In the throat il
produces enlarged ,onsils, hawking,
sore throat, hoarseness or weak voice.
When the catarrh reaches the bron-
chial tubes and lungs it produces
cough, pain in the chest, expectoration,
night sweats, loss of flesh and shortness
of breath.
a cold in the head, which single
bottle of Pe-ru-na will cure, soon
becomes a case of chronic Catarrh,
which will require many bottles to
entirely cure. A sore throat, which
one bottle OF Pe-ru-na will cure, soon
becomes chronic pharyngitls or en-
larged tonsils, which will require many
bottles. A slight cough, which, with
out a vestige OF doubt, would soon
disappear with the use of Pe-ru-na,
becomes chronic bronchitis, which
requires persistent use of Peru ma
for some time. There are a great
many cases of consumption each year
due directly to a neglect of coughs,
colds, ETC., which, if Pe-ru-na had
been kept in the house and used &C
cording to directions, would have
been prevented.
For free treatise on catarrh, coughs

Although the notes were not techni-
cally due until this afternoon, the Ajax
Mining company yesterday paid four
OF the notes held by Trustee Hanauer,
of the Salt Lake City Copper Manu-
featuring company, and given on the
purchase price of the Copperopolis.
The payments involved the exchange of
$4,000, one of the notes being for
$4,000 and the others for $500 each.
This retires a little less than one-half
or the Indebtedness Shouldered in the
Copperopolis purchase, the aggregate
payments made to date being a little
short of $4,000. leaving some $2S, 900
still due.
The payment of these notes is the
result of the refusal of Mr.. Harrison,
holder of the Mccormick & Co. notes,
TO permit of another continuance for
sixty days. The formal request was
made by the board of directors of the
company, but Mr.. Harrison, remaining
firm in the position which he had
taken, it was found to be impossible to
effect a settlement without the pay
ment of the money due, and in accord
ance Messrs. Mcintyre and Knox
raised the money yesterday morning
and the payments were made.
General Manager Mcintyre left for
the mines of the company yesterday
evening for the purpose of inspecting

Cleveland Consolidated Mining Com
pany Out of Money.
Within the next day or two opera
tons on the properties of the Cleve-
land Consolidated Mining and Milling
company in Tintic, will be discontinued
and it is an open question when they
will be resumed. This cessation of
work is the result of the company
reaching the end of its rope, from a
financial standpoint. To date the
three claims held by the company have
been developed by some LOO feet of
tunnels and drifts at a stated cost of
not less than $4,000. These properties
are located directly between the Mann
moth and the Ajax, so that there
should be some extensive ore bodies in
all three. Only systematic develop
ment will tell, however,
AT the meeting of the board of di-
rectors held several days ago, the
question was raised as to just where
the money raised by the sale of the
treasury stock has been expended and
an auditing committee was appointed.
1t seems that no books showing the
receipts and expenditures of the COM
pany have been kept and in many in
stances the vouchers for the money
paid were either destroyed or never re-
ceived. For this reason the committee
met with a dead wall within a short
distance of their point of ingress to
the company's affairs. AT a meeting of
the board to be held early in the COM
ing month report is to be made.

New York. March 29-R. C. Dun &
COS week - review of trade will say
tomorrow:
Signs of Improvement are The more
satisfactory because neither accom-
panied or apparently produced by
speculative craze. Dealings in stocks,
cotton and wheat are not GiVerting
all the interest and capital from pro-
ductive industries and legitimate
trade, though these products are all a
shade strong. But railroad earnings,
bank clearingS ano industrial indica-
tons are more encouraging this week.
It is a remarkable feature that the lift
ing this year begins at the bottom, so
TO speak; raw materials are raised be-
fore there is any larger demand for
their finished products, a thing not
often done with success.
So far there is no answering in case
of demand or in prices for manufac-
tured products, and on The whole the
range is slightly lower than week
ago.
Raw cotton has been hcisted until a
stronger market for goods resulted
with some advances in prices. The
tone of the dry goods market has been
decidedly irregular, although it does
not appear IndI retail Q1SIrlDullOn mas
correspondingly increased. But stocks
of retail dealers are light, and when
they feel that prices are bound 20 rise
the demand may grow rapidly.
In the wooden business, cancellations
in some lines have been startling in
magnitude, many mills which supposed
their whole product sold, finding them
selves in great need of customers. This
seems to be mainly in low grade goods,
inferior quality being their common
complaint, but delays through strikes
also play part, while offers of cheap
fofeign goods are not to be overlooked
Quite large orders have been taken ny
foreign agencies for finer worstedS and
woolens, and all the way from the
poorest shoddy to the best goods the
competition will doubtless be sharp for
more than one reason. Sales of wool
for the week have been quite large,
5,S29S00 pounds, against 4,078.200 last
year; partly because a quantity held for
loan was forced to sale. But sales in
four weeks have been 19,54e,200 pounds
against 17,919,0O0 last year and q, 133, 400
in 1892
Corn is a cent lower, while pork is
75c. per barrel, and lard and hogs 15c.
per hundred pounds higher.
The failures this week have been 234
in the United States against 233 last
year, and AZ in Canada against 80 last
year, but the recent increase indicates
past rather than recent conditions OF
unsOundneSs.
