Mcdonald at the mass. The cadets
saluted when the gospel was read, and
during the conservation they knelt and
gave their unique salute with drawn
sabers. One of The young fellows, who had
been on guard duty all night aud was
weak from the strain upon him, fell in a
faint. His comrades nearest him broke
ranks and ran to his assistance. They
carried him outside where he soon recov-
cred.
Father Mcdonald spoke briefly on the
gospel of the day, which tells of the leper
Samaritan, whose faith had made him
whole. The lesson drawn from this was
that people do not return thanks for the
goodness of God and that they should
follow the example of the outcast Samari-
tan. The chaplain, speaking to the cadets,
advised them in regard to their rule of
conduct during life. While in camp he
particularly requested them to act like
gentlemen, and then they would gain the
respect of the people here and reflect
honor upon the League of the Cross.
After the military mass the cadets re-
lieved themselves of their fatigue hats
and tunics and fastened to dinner, and

A lynching party started after Alamo.
but he was secreled by friendly bar
tender in Ike Meyers hotel. alamo lay in
the cellar for several hours while the vii
layers were securing every house in search
of him. Shortly after noon Deputy
Sheriffs Timmins and Bedford arrived
from Fresno and Alamo was glad to put
himself into their charge. The mob was
in another part of the village at the time
and the deputies made their stay in Fire
baugh as brief as possible. While the
lynchers were yet hunting for Alamo in
Firebaugh the officers had arrived at Men
dota, twelve miles away, and had him in
Jail.
Coroner Long arrived from Fresno Just
about the time officers reached Mendoza
and FASTENED on to Firebaugh to hold the
inquest. Alamo told the officers that he
was in saloon early this morning and
asked the bartender if there was any OBJ
lection to his shooting at a mark across
the street. The bartender made no obiec-
tion, and Alamo fired three shots. Just
then Martinez stepped into the doorway
and received the fourth shot in his breast.
There has been a long era of lawlessness
among the mixed population of Fire

ilization, and few months ago the resi-
dent Justice of the Peace, w. S. Crawford,
moved to Mendoza to insure his personal
safety.
Martinez, the victim, was married, but
had no children. Alamo is single man.

STOCKTON, CAL, Aug. 23.-Thomas s.
Bullock, the New York capitalist, who is
back of the project to run railway from
this city eastward into the mining region
of the Sierra Nevada. arrived yesterday.
1t is almost certain that the road will be
built. Nearly eighty miles of rails have
arrived in California, shipped by Mr.. Bull
lock, and they are to be laid somewhere in
this State. The most promising region
are the mines, which are steadily growing
in output and population and which offer
a splendid field for railroad operations.
They need quick communica ton with the
ocean and the only feasible route is by
way of this city. which is their natural
entreport.
The first part of the right of way can be
obtained at any time AID after reaching
the foothills there will be no trouble in
getting land for the road. 1t would not
be surprising if the work of laying the
rails should be commenced next month.

ENTERPRiSlNG GERMANY.

Determined Effort She Is Making In the
Manufacture of Wooden Articles.
America has not realized the great
strides Germany is making in the manu-
facture of wooden articles, and j. c.
Monaghan, United States consul at
Chempitz, thinks it time that we knew
something about the matter. In re-
port to the state department he tells
how the German wool producers and
manufacturers have made every effort
not only to regain their home market,
but to meet their opponents in parts OF
the world hitherto held almost exclu-
sively by the English and French.
While it is true, he says, that Germany
must buy large quantities of wooden
yarns from England, it is also true
that she is resolved to be independent
and is rapidly putting herself in a po-
sition to supply all the demands of her
cloth manufacturers. Her wooden goods
have gained a great deal in quality and
color, and it is questionable whether
they are inferior, price against price, in
either respect to those of the nations
named.
Mr.. Monaghan makes some interest
ing observations in his report, as fol-
lows: "The official organ of the gov
eminent in this city (Chemnitz) has a
long article in this mornings issue deal
ing with the conditions of the United
States wooden industries.
1.-THE Frankfort Times had a similar
article two or three days ago. They
are watching us; they are watching
England. Nc effort is too hopeless, no
energy is lacking. They know what
they want and are earnestly working to
obtain it. They have cheaper labor
than we have, but that is only one fac
tor, not the greatest, in their success.
They economic where necessary, and
they are enterprising to rashness where
enterprise is needed. They will send
samples free worth great deal OF
money where and when it is ques-
ton of winning new markets"

He entered plea of guilty, and the
Judge imposed sentence of 80 days in

LOCKJAW BACILLI.
Section of Long Island Where 1t Thrives
In the Damp Soil.

IN thO DnhP 0Vh
The sudden death of little Flossie
Bernstein, of Bay Thirteenth street and
Bath avenue, Brooklyn, n. Y, who ia
tally inoculated herself with the lock-
jaw germ while playing in the front
yard of her home ten days ago, has
excited much speculation as to the
danger which confronts every child
that plays out of doors on the eastern
and southern tiers of Long Island. The
reason given for the prevalence of this
baciln In the section named is because
Of the peculiarly damp condition of the
soil in which they thrive.
DR.. Joseph b. Raymond, of Brook
lyn, who has made a study of bacteri-
ology, said the other day: "Ihave made
a study of tetanus and have learned
that the section of Long Island in and
around Jamaica Is infected. The dis
ease when 1t once seizes upon a victim
is almost sure to prove fatal. I know
that II prevails elsewhere, but on Long
Island 1t seems to have gained the most
prominence, so far as the east Is con.
cerned."

pathology at the Long Island college

CHINAMAN AND BIKE.
Enthusiastic Celestial in Chicago
Learning to Ride.
Ii Persevering and Expects Soon to Aston
ish His Almond-Eyed Brothers by
Appearing Before Them on
Silent Steed.

Hong Sling, a Chinaman, supported by
an attendant, mounted bicycle the
other evening in the Davidson riding
academy, Chicago.H He appeared to be al
most as much at home on the wheel as
If he were sitting in a palace car, but he
met with disaster when the arm of the
attendant was withdrawn from his sup
port. So soon as his instructor deserted
him for q handsome young woman
learner, Mr.. Sling acquired the anxious
and desperate expression characteristic
of beginners at wheeling, and, with a
convulsive effort to regain his balance,
the little Chinaman toppled over as
easily and as awkwardly as any native
American could have done. For time
there was mixture of wheel and rider,
which made it difficult to tell which
would come out on top, but the wheel
triumphed in the struggle and Mr..
Sling lay PROSTATE, with the machine
across him.
1t was not the little Mongolian's first
appearance on a wheel. He has taken
three lessons and his determination to

from his friends, whom he wished to
astonish some fine day on machine of
newest make.
Capt. Ford, who conducts the
academy, was approached week aga
by the Chinaman and on Monday even
ing personally superintended the first
ride his new pupil took. Mr.. Sling was
anxious to have no spectators and the
room was reserved for his use, but he
managed to get along 30 well that he
has since rather preferred the company
of others at his lessons. The other night
Mr.. Sling mounted his wheel easily and
straightway attempted to dismount,
but the attendant held him up and he
finally started around the track at
merry pace. A girl who was making
track with her wheel which took the
same direction as that of a man return
ing from night with the boys headed
straight for the Chinaman, after the at
tendant had left him. She was anxious
not to run into him, and he was as
anxious to avoid her. By miracle
there was no collision. The girl wab.
bled on her way rejoicing and Mr.. Sling
did q graceful somersault, which
landed him on the floor beneath his
wheel. He was up, however, before an
attendant could reach him, and was
smiling happily again by the time he
made his next attempt.
He is enthusiastic over the sport and
says that he is going to persevere in his
lessons until he has thoroughly man
aged his steed. He devotes the time
when he is not riding himself to care
fully watching the other pupils, whom
he regards with an expression of the
greatest interest.

CHILD REMAINS IN A vALIsE.

Who Believe in Cremation.

Brought In the Form of Ashes by Parents
Who Believe in Cremation.
e. Erect and his wife, of New York
city, are firm believers in cremation.
So when their child died in far-of Japan
they had it's remains cremated and
placed in wicker basket in order that
they might carry the ashes to their
eastern home. They arrived at the
Auditorium Annex in Chicago from San
Francisco, whittier they had come from
Australia.
It was nearly midnight when Mr..
Erect registered himself and his wife
and handed Clerk Cores two bulky
valises for safe keeping. The clerk
handled them after the established fash
ion, and, as Mr.. Erect thought, little
more carlessly than he was warranted
in doing.
"Be careful" he cautioned, and then
continued nonchalantly, zone of them
contains the body of our child"
Naturally the clerk was amazed, but
before he could find his tongue to ques-
ton further into the queer matter Mr.
Erect told the story.
He said his wife and himself were
much ayerse to bringing their dead
child so far from home, and chose that
means of obtaining entrance for its
body into this country. They will place
it In Graceland cemetery IN New York,
he said.

SAVED THE JEWELS.
Good Use to which Young Girl Put Her
Bicycle.

The ten-year-old Julia Bates, daughter
of Cyrus H. Bates, of Cohassett, Mass.
has proved herself q veteran fireman.
To her is due the credit for saving her
mothers Jewels and many other valu-
ables from the flames that destroyed the
elegant family residence. The nearest
fire department is in the village, several
miles away from the house. Her father
discovered the fire while the family
were in the dining-room. Julia was at
the breakfast table, and at the sound Of
her fathers voice she ran into the yard.
She took in the situation at a glance,
ran for her bicycle and sped down the
road to the village to give the alarm.
The apparatus arrived in time to subduc
the flames sufficiently so that the jewels
and furniture were rescued, although
the house was ruined.
