remarks rejecting on Zeb WaIser,

gadocio manner, sprang to his feet
and yehemently denounced Green, thus
ended all hope for instructions for Nc

CARNEGIE'S STEEL

Baron Andrew Carnegie has just re-
ceived an order for 10000 tons of steel
rails from China and another of 5000
tons from Japan. He ships these rails
to the seaboard and then almost around
the world by ship. He ships them as
much farther than rails would have to
be shipped from Europe as Pittsburg or
Homestead is distant from Europe. And
he sells them in China and Japan, even
after this disadvantage of distance, in
competition with all the steel rail mills
of the world. Able to do this and doing
it Andrew Carnegie demands, and we,
dolts that we are, give him the right on
his false pretense that he can't compete
with foreign steel makers, etc, ETC., ad
nauseum, to charge us more for steel
rails than he sells them for in distant
China and Japan. He buys this right
to levy tribute upon us all by contrib
uting to the campaign fund of party.
This game is played openly before our
eyes. And majority of bur people ap-
parently do not see through the trick

MOB LAW IN CALIFORNIA
Chinese Orange Packers Driven off by
Masked Men
A Casa Blanca Mob Uses Shotguns to
Make the Remark That the Chi
nese Must Go.

RIVERSIDE. Nov. 3O.-Considerable
excitement was caused here this morn
ing when it was learned that a mob of
masked men armed with shotguns had
visited the Fay Fruit company's pack
ing house at Casa Blanca and compelled
the eight Chinese employed there to
pack up and go away with them. AS
soon as the frightened Celestials had
their belongings packed they compelled
them to get into a wagon. Their cap
tors drove off with the outfit toward
Corona, and when within a short dis
tance of the latter town the Chinese
were compelled to get out Of the wagon
and then their captors drove away The
Cinnamon remained where left by the
mob until this morning, when they re-
turned to Casa Blanca and told of their
nights experience.
The mob. not content with the treat
ment accorded the Chinese, robbed them
of all their money, watches and valua-
bles. The affair is the outgrowth of the
bitter feeling existing here over the en-
ployment of Chinese in the orange pick
iEg business and it is feared more trou-
BILE will follow if the employers contin-
ue to hire Chinese Officers are inves-
tigating the affair, but as the mob came
and went so quietly, there is little hope
that any clue of value will be secured.

WHEN PEOPLE CATCH COLD

The f'cold spots meaning thereby the
surfaces peculiarly susceptible to cold.
are principally the nape of the neck and
the lower pat of the back of the head,
the front OF the abdomen and the shins.
The acute discomfort and the sense of
impending disaster which results from
the steady play OF q current of cold air
upon the neck from behind are well
known. The necessity of keeping the
abdomen warmly clad is also generally
recognized. though perhaps not as gen.
orally carried into practice, Curiously
enough, few people are conscious of the
danger they run by exposing the usu-
ally inadequately protected shins to cur
rents of cold air This is the usual way
In which colds are caught on omnibuses.
When driving one takes care to cover
the legs with rug or waterproof, but
on the more democratic conveyance rugs
are not often available, and the reckless
passenger by and by awakens to the fact
that the iron has entered his soul-in
other words. that he has caught cold -
People who wear stockings. such as
Highlanders. golfers and cyclists, inva-
riably take the precaution of turning
the thick WOODEN material down over the
shirs, the better to protect them against
loss of heat. though, Incidentally, the
artificial establishment of the calves
may not be altogether foreign to the
manoeuvre. This is an instance of how
all things work together for good. 1t
does not, of course, follow because GER
tain areas are peculiarly susceptible to
cold that chill may not be conveyed
to the nervous system from other points.
Prolonged sitting on a stone, or even
on he damp grass, is we'll known to be
a fertile source OF disease and wet cold
feet are also, with reason, credited with
paving the way to an early grave.-Lon-

ton in case we should come up with the
enemy As they were a small party he
expected that they would merely hide
somewhere in clump of trees or an old
house until we had passed, and then con-
tinue their Journey in ease and comfort.
1t was evident, therefore, that We should
have to land party to turn them out.
Our ships complement was small
one-Lieut. Beatty, two marines, q SER
geant armorer. an Egyptian artillery
officer, and ten gunners. we had, be-
sides, our Scotch engineer, Mr.. Harle,
some black stokers, and myself. The
ship would require a force to defend her
in case of attack, and therefore it was
difficult to see whence we could collect
a landing party. However, Lieut.. Beat
ty had the happy thought of taking the
black stokers who were as keen about
fighting as any of us. So a little further
up the river motley landing party set
foot on shore. consisting of the COM
mander, the engineer, one marine, the
armorer sergeant the three stokers, five
of the gunners, and myself. The arms
we carried ranged from Lee Metford's
down to an old elephant gun captured
some few days previously from the en-
emy But, alas, honnme propose, mais
Dieu dispose. We searched the coun-
try round for miles. but without effect.
1 am sure that il the enemy had seen
us they would have fled incontinently.
for the elephant gun alone would have
been sufficient to put wholesome fear
into the bravest of dervishes. Bnt, like
the Duke of York. and his ten thou
sand men, Lieut.. Beatty marched his
party up the hill and marched them
down again to the boat, where we en-
barked. with intense feelings of dis
appointment and huge appetites.-
