Mas SuYDAM GREEN of Chicago is a re- markable woman. Under hypnotic infu- ence she enjoys being smoothed off with red hot lamp chimneys, and can drink in the intoxicating heat that only large lamp affords with perfect impunity. Not mere ly this, but she defes the flames by passing her hands and arms through them until her hysterical spectators entrsat her to stop. Instead of being roasted by this performance Mrs Green comes out of it as fresh as her name. Truly. Chicago is a marvellous place. Is it preparing to dis count any little extra heat hereafter?

These sailor suits are worn by lads from 3 to 9 years of age. The New York Herald, which sketches one of these suits, says concerning the hair: For little boys let them wear their hair long and ill curls up to years of age at the outside, but beyond that pe- riod it is better for the health of the child that his hair should be cut, but not toS short. The coiffure en brosse should not be adopted for children un- dar & or 10 years of age

 MoRRIsTowN, N. J., Aug. 12.-The an- tics of supposed lunatic in the woods along the Whippany river, near Ridgedale avenue, are exciting the residents.

Friday morning two hoys-.TamrS simmons and Frank Bruwn-were fishing when the man ac- cuscd them of being thieves and poachers and threatened to drown them. They dropped their tackle and fled. On their return the man had disappeared.
 Icron EmmonS and Victor Wise were bathing at the point where the man ap. pcared Friday. Suddenly stone fell near them. Looking toward the shore, they saw man with his arms full of stones, which he was throwing at them. They shouted to him to desist, but he did not until they started for the shore.

 In this interview Miss Cushmap asserts 0 belief that these latest massacres may be one of the results of the recent wars between China and Japan. kucheng Is many hundred miles from the central gov ernment at Pekin& and 1t is probable that the people had only rumors of the trouble and so got all sorts of stories, some of which may have started the trouble.
 "The uninformed Chinese, Miss Cush- man says, "believc that tho foreign mis- sionaries cut out the eyes and hearts of the natives to uSc for medicine. They arc quick to accept any story that they hear. so that the foreigners there can never tell when n mob will come upon them.'

Out of Danger.
FINANCIAL LOSS rs LIGHT.
Grain Was Not Damaged as 1t Was
Not High Enough to Be At
fected by the Wind.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa, May 5.-Order is
coming out of chaos in the narrow district
of Sioux County which was swept by the
survivors as comfortable as possible.
Nearly all the dead are now buried and
none of the injured now living are thought
to be fatally hurt.
The Journals representative, who went
all over the ground swept by the storm,
says $4,000 will cover the property dam
age, including houses, barns and outbuild-
ings and fences. In few places are the
crops seriously damaged for grain was not
up far enough to be killed or dislodged by
the wind, and the principal injury in the
fields was by the plastering of mud which
they received.
This mud shower" was a prominent
part of the storm, but it seems that the
power of the wind simply scooped up the
black, wet earth from the surface in sew
eral places and distributed it all over other
fields. The correct list of dead numbers
ten, as has already been stated. None
have died since Saturday. About twenty
persons were injured in Sioux County.
The Mayor of Sioux Center appealed to
Sioux City for aid, and public meeting

ever, say it is not needed.

They are not in China's pay, though
sometimes she has little authority over
them. Warfare is their profession and
they depend upon it for bread, and they
raid and rob Chinese and others indis-
criminately. They have no law but the
commands of their leaders. They are
holder and more warlike than the average
Chinaman and have little fear of death.
The French were greatly troubled by them
in Tonquin.
1t is said if the Chinese can turn the
Black Flags on any specially hated enemy
they consider it great stroke of enter
prise. 1t is also said when the French,
during the Tonquin campaign, complained
to Viceroy Ii Hung Chang against the out
RACES OF the Black Flags, to the demand that
he secure their punishment the Viceroy
said he had no moro control over them
than the French had; they were robbers
camps and China had disavowed them.

CAN WITHHOLD THE TEARS
DR.. Salmon Says the Public
Need Not Weep for Mr..
Armour'S Losses.
The Pork Packer Had Very Modestly
Reported on Only One Depart
ment of His Business.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 5. = DIR.
Salmon, Chief of the Bureau of Animal
Industry, being Intercepted as to Mr.. Ar
mour's statement of an average constant
loss of between IL and IS cents on each
head of cattle slaughtered by his house
during long period of time, said he had
no criticisms to make as to the veracity OF
the statement, as far as it goes.
"But," he added, "Mr. Armour sepa-
rates the dressed-beef department. from
the transportation, trade and various other
departments of his business, which are
closely related. It is currently rumored
and generally believed that the firm OF
Armour & Co. have about 5000 refrigerator
cars rolling over the various railroads OF
the United States carrying dressed-beef to
their customers. And some wickedly
curious people declare that they cannot
tell when they buy dressed beef how much
of the money goes for transportation and
how much for meat.
Possibly if Mr.. Armour will state the
losses incurred by his firm in the trans
portation of beef during the same period Of
time that he covered in stating it's losses
upon beef itself, the further losses of that
firm would so excite public sympathy that
those who eat beef would eat the more
and those would eat it too who never ate
it before. However, until it is known
what the losses of Armour & Co. are or
the business of their refrigerator in
carrying dressed meats, the public may
refrain from tears"

and informed the Associated Press that he
had just wired Governor O'Ferrall of Vir
ginia that he would not permit Virginia
troops to come on West Virginia soil to ex-
ercise any military function.
O'Ferrall had asked Governor McCorkle
to permit Virginia to come two miles on
West Virginia soil, and in return he would
permit the West Virginia Militia to go two
miles into Virginia.
Governor McCorkle says the situation in
Mcdowell and Pocahontas coal fields is
serious, but he will not call out the West
Virginia troops unless some act of violence
is committed.
All arrangements are in perfect condi-
ton to bring out the entire National Guard
at two hours notice. Special trains are
ready to carry the men, and the engines
have steam up. Governor McCorkle had
received dispatches here at midnight say
ing all was quiet.
