Accenta to Order.

You can sell almost anything II you only
know how. A young Englishman in Bos-
ton, anxious to increase somewhat mar
row income, left word at several teach
ers' agencies that he would undertake to
teach the true English accent to Bostonians
ambitious of bettering their speech. He
actually obtained two pupils. One Of them
q grave, middle aged man, quit his studies
after two lessons because Of a disagreement
with the teacher. The other, young girl,
who was deeply anxious that her parents
should not know of her new line Of study,
was for some time a source Of profit to the
teacher. York Sun.

tance In Sixteen Months.
Henry Thompson, the wonderful Pacific
slope pedestrian, has completed the re-
markable feat of walking 10, 6e5 miles in
16 months, which is 6,740 miles more
than any other man has ever walked.
During his journey he has worn out "a
suits Of Clothes IL pairs Of shoes, 165
pairs Of socks and 20 hats and caps. His
walking average has been 25X miles day
for the past 16 months. His greatest walk
has been 80 miles in 21X hours.
Thompson is an all around athlete, Al
years old, feet inches In height and
weighs lag pounds.
Thompson gives exhibitions on his trav-
els to obtain money to keep him alive.
But he must deposit In every town or city
he leaves the balance Of his accumulation,
80 that he must start new in every place
he enters. He takes q receipt at every tel
egraph station to show that he passes by
at q certain hour Of the day, walking.
His credentials are very satisfactory.
Thompson started from San Francisco
on Dec. 20, 1898, and is to complete his
task Of walking around the world on Aug.
30, 1896. II he succeeds, he Is to receive
q $40, 900 purse. He Is now nine weeks
ahead Of time.-Boston Journal.

PAUL REVERE CAPTURED.
A Little Incident Not on the Programme
Of Patriots Day Celebration.

The celebration Of Patriots day in
Worcester, Mass, began with q representa-
tion of the midnight ride Of Paul Revere,
who was impersonated by DR.. William f.
Daniels, and whose kidnapping by a crowd
of his friends somewhat marred the success
Of the evenings entertainment. He was
dressed as one of the colonial minute men
and mounted white horse at Webster
square, the intention being that he should
ride through Main street and some OF tho
west side streets to the skating rink, where
he was to be given reception, and the
affair was to wind up with grand ball.
During the course Of the ride he was to
be stopped by British soldiers, but the i'm
mense throng which filled the streets shut
In the redcoats so that they could not get
in their work except at one point, where
they grabbed the horses bride. Paul
pulled away, and, after making detour
through some side streets, got back to
Main street and continued on his way.
An attempt was made to kidnap him on
Chestnut street by three fellows who wore
masks and who had hack waiting to car
ry him of. He got away from them and
carried out the programme until he reached
Foster street, where another big crowd was
In waiting. Here the kidnapers succeeded
In pulling him of his horse, hustled him
into hack and drove away.
Inside the rink crowd Of 1000 was
waiting to see the reception to the rider,
but he never showed up, greatly to the dis
gust Of the managers Of the affair. The re-
ception was like Hamlet without the Dane,
as only the old colonial officers were there.
They were all dressed in appropriate cos
tunes and opened the ball by grand
march, in which so couples participated.
The rink was gorgeously decorated, and
but for the kidnapping of Revere the affair
would have been big success.-Boston

As He Has Probably Saved China s70. 0.000.-
900. It IL Not Extortionhte.


It Is claimed that John w. Foster will
service AZ a diplomatic adviser helping to
let Ii Hung Chang down rs easy as posi-
Bile with the Japanese. MIR. Foster Is one
of the most experienced IL not one of the
ablest commercial diplomats I'm this coun-
try-perhaps I'm the world--but the i'm
~portancc of his service 90 the Chinese gov
ernment can hardly be overestimated, as Is
clearly shown by a statement made by "a
wide awake member Of the diplomatic
corps.
Before John w. Foster left this ooun-
try" said this gentleman, she had made
a contract with the Chinese minister by
which he was to receive very large sum
for his services as adviser to the Chinese
government In the efforts then being made
to secure peace with Japan. The cable in
dicates that he has earned every penny
of it.
"When Mr.. Foster was first engaged, 1t
had not been decided TO send Ii Hung
Chang to treat with Japan. The first
thing Mr.. Foster did was to insist that he
be called to Peking, restored to his former
honors and sent out with full powers to
negotiate treaty. He knew that the Jap
anese would receive the veteran statesman
with greater courtesy than they would ex-
tend to any other living Chinaman, and
he shrewdly guessed that Ii Hung Chang
would command some sympathy for the
harsh treatment received by him at the
hands Of his emperor.
''The result has fully justified this expec-
tation. Ii was received with distinction,
and since the unfortunate incident of his
attempted assassination, which, however,
In view of the happy outcome, can hardly
be called unfortunate, the mikado has done
everything In his power to make his task
an easy one.
"The shrewd Foster was constantly at his
elbow, and when Japan demanded an in
demnity of 300, 900, 600 taels it was at Fos-
ter's suggestion that Ii besought the Japa-
nese minister not to cripple the revenues
of China for all time by demanding so
high price for peace. The plea was sue
cessful, for the Japanese finally consented
to put the amount at 200, 900, 900 taels AS
tael is worth about 73 cents In gold, the
minister's shrewd work has probably saved
