CHINESE ENTER POLITICS.
Wong Chin Foo Has Determined to
Establish an Independent Party.

Chicago, July IA local paper says:
An attempt to establish a new politi-
cal party which Will have its chief aims
for the repeal of the Chinese immigra-
ton laws, and the abolition of all la
Dor saving machinery, will be made at
a mass meeting to be held this evening.
The wouId-be founder of the new party
which he would call the American
Liberty Party" is Chin Foo, a natur-
allied Chinaman, for nearly 20 years a
resident of the United States, and he is
the most famous and fearless champion
of his race.
Mr.. Foo tried to get the Republican
and Democratic national conventions
to allow him to speak before them and
incorporate in their platforms a plank
approving his principles. Both conven-
lions refused to grant his request and
he determined to establish an indepen-
dent party for the purpose.
Mr.. Foo says the naturalized China
men in this country have come here
to stay; have learned to love the insti-
buttons of this country and are patriot
ic enough to stand by the stars and
stripes, and to even bear arms against
their native country for the honor and
welfare of this. their adopted land.

BICYCLES CARRY COPY.
Take Associated Press Reports from
Convention Hall Down Town.

Chicago, July 11-One of the features
of the newspapers business of the ma
tional convention was the manner in
which the bicycle service was employ
ed by the Associated Press for deliv-
ering the verbatim reports of the con-
vention during the night sessions to
the main Office of the Western Union
Telegraph company down town
1t was thought by the management
of the Associated Press that bicycles
could be employed to do faster work
and more reliable than express trains
on the Illinois Central railroad. For
the purpose of performing this service
three expert bicycle riders were en-
plOyed to convey these reports from the
convention hall down town. The names
of the men so employed were: Alfred
H. Shugue, NJ. B. Beebe and W. w
Phelps. These men rode in relays sim
liar to that of the pony express en-
ployed to deliver the United States
mail over the plains in former times.
The first rider conveyed the report as
far as F'ifty-fifth street and Michigan
avenue, where it was delivered to a
fresh rider who proceeded with it to
Thirty-first. There it was delivered to
western Union building where through
pneumatic tubes it was delivered to
the various newspaper offices of the
city. A practical test of this system
proved its great efficiency and the
young gentlemen so employed won
ecomiums for the promptness with
which they performed the work
one connected with a national conven-
ton. It has been of great service dur
ing the sessions. Fifty cases, nearly all
of them injuries Of a minor character
were given attention. a full supply of
surgical appliances were kept at hand.

THE FLAG DEDICATION

LIE II IAb DEDlS4A llON
OF the members of Siemering
Lodge No. 80, Sons of Hermann,
took place at Scheuermeyer's gar
den yesterday afternoon. The
lodge had inaugurated a pro-
gram which started with a pro-
cession in which many of our
German societies took part. The
hosts gathered at Scheuermey-
er's park in the afternoon, where
Grand Master julius Schuetze
delivered the dedication address,
the same being a eulOgistic reel
tai of the IDEAL aims of the god
father of the lodge, the late Aug.
Siemering, as we'll as the practi-
cal benefits of the order in gen
eral, and at the same time gave
a beautiful "wOrd picture Wis
ion of the bright prospects Of
the order. The banner is of the
very best "gros grain" silk and
had the Cheruscan chief mounted
on his steed on one side and the
emblematic symbols, clasped
hands. a wreath of oak leaves and
Freundschaft, Liebe Treue, on
the other, tricOlOr side all
wrought in gold. 1t is one of the
costliest society banners in the
city.
The celebration was finished
by a ball at Mission garden yes
terday evening and was attended
by large numbers of pleasure
seekers for terpsichOrean enjoy
ment. The Lassalle MaennerchOr
added much to the celebration at
the park by being present in full
force and rendering selections
of song at short intervals.

The public is not as familiar
with its privileges about postal
matters as might be supposed.
Many times people would like to
recall a letter after it has been
mailed. This can be done, even il
the letter has reached the postoffice
at its destination. At every post.
Office there are what are called
Withdrawal blanks" On appli-
cation they will be furnished and,
when a deposit is made to cover
the expense, the postmaster will
telegraph to the postmaster at the
letters destination asking that it
be promptly returned. The appli-
can't first signs this agreement:
"It is hereby agreed that, II the
letter is returned to me, / will pro-
tect you from any and all claims
made against you for such return
and Will fully indemnify you for
any loss you may sustain by rea.
son of such action. And 1 here
with deposit s. to cover all ex-
penses incurred and will deliver to
you the envelope Of the letter re-
turned" In many cases persons
have made remittances to fraudu-
lent parties or irresponsible firms,
not learning their true character
until after the letter had gone, and
have succeeded in recalling them.
There is an instance where a Kan
sss City merchant had remitted a
dishonest travelling man a draft
for $175 and by means Of with
drawal rescued the draft just in
time.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

COMFORT NOTES.

Comfort, Tex, Nov. Last
night at Ingenhuett hall there
was free barbecue and ball Civ
en- by the WoOdmen of the World
and standing room was at a pre-
MUM, in and all around the hall,
and even the grounds outside
were packed with people. The
Hon. w. Neunhoeffer made a
very appropriate and eloquent
speech in the interest of and
| showing the advantages and
workings of the order, and too
much cannot be said of the man,
ner in which such an immense
crowd was entertained.
Mr.. H. Terrell, of San Antonio,
was introduced to the audience
by the Hon. w. HeunhOeffer, and
after in a most gentlemanly and
able manner, dealing with an OBJ
lection that had been raised by
a party of the opposite side, made
most sensible, interesting and
matter of fact speech; speaking
of gold standard and also urg-
ing people to support a govern
ment who would protect their in
terest and bring prosperity to our
country, to accomplish which
they should use every effort to
elect Mckinley for president and
the Hon. Geo. III. NoOnan for con-
gress.
Mr.. Alfred Giles then rose and
surprised all present with the
mastery and forcible talk he
made; it was a regular "Multum
in Parvo" and the life and feeling
he gave it showed that it came
from the sentiments of his heart
and was a photograph in words
of his creed and belief. He
begged the people as they loved
their families and their lives to
vote for ahuS support a govern,
ment that would protect them,
and said they would find it in Nc
Kinley for president and the
Hon. Geo. H. Noonan for con
gress.
Dancing and mirth were then
INDUCED in to an early hour in
the morning and the whole af
fair from beginning to end was
one for which the Woodmen de
served the greatest credit an(
thanks.
