sort at Houston and Crosby streets was

hearty proprietor, who was then reputed

scrupulously honest, and used often to re.
lieve drunken man of his roll and return
1t to him when tho drunkard got sober
Thousands Of dollars at a time used to be
entrusted to him for snfe keeping, and he
always returned it. 1t Is said that on ono
occasion drunken man gave him $4,000
to take care of and got 1t back intact when
his spree was over There were many
rough and tumble fights In HIS place,
however, and several times rowdles entered

tho proprietor. He overcame these despcr-
ADDE'S without the aid of the police Billy
Edwards once giving him valuable assist
ance.
A little over ten years ago Harry Hill al
legged that he was made to pay altogether
too much to the police for his protection.
He mado kick of the biggest kind, and

Manitoba parochial school Question.

WINNEPE0 Man, Aug 2O,-Premier
Laurier's efforts to settle the Manitoba pa
rochial school question seoms to be futile.
The compromise accepted by the Green
way government does not suit the Roman
Catholics. Tho official organ Of Arch
bishop Lengevln, who is now in Rome
consulting with the pope on the question,
has this to say in leading editorial:
Nothing but our separate parcChihl
schools will satisfy us. A settlement
which restores to us only the ghost of
the shadow Of our rights we will never aC
cept The bare permission of the clergy to
visit schools and teach catechism will not
do. To put plaster over fostering sore
only makes 1t break out with renewed
virulence elsewhere"

HIS VOYAGE ON THE ST. LOUIS.
How He Spent the Time Coming Over on
the Big Steamer.

How He Spent the Time Coming Over on
the Big Steamer.
NEW YORK. Aug 99,-A press CORE
apondent gives some Of the dolngs Of Ii
Hung Chang on board Of the St, Louis
Tho viceroy had been impressed with
the story Of great riches In America, and
was anxious to know from each person
he talked with all about thoir wealth, and
especially how much they each want bs,
fore they are satisfied
e. The ambassador also wanted to know
: about his reception in America wanted to
know II there would be q great public
demonstration and whether the president
had palace on Governors Island or In
New York to receive in, and was very
much surprised to know that no great ap.
propriations had been made to receive
him, and that no palace existed in our
country such as he had known In other
countries, and the reception accorded him
would be in keeping with the simple ideas
OF our republic.
In speaking Of bicycles the ambassador
made the remark that it seemed as II all
she world was on Wheels and il the roads
In China were good enough undoubtedly
his people also would ride bicycles,
Ii Hung is very much interested in the
building Of railroads, and predicts that
where there are now only 300 miles OF rail
eoad In China In few years one will see
many miles under construction. The
1nethod probably pursued will be an invi-
tation to foreign capital to come In and
build, granting 1t liberal concessions with
che privilege to China to purchase at
hxed price at O named time.
On Thursday the ambassador sent fcY
Captain Raudle and thanked him for the
attention and courtesy shown him on
bodHd the ship, for the service and gen.
sral accommodations of the party, praised
him for tho way tho ship had been run,
asked him many questions about his
duties and the duties Of his officers, their
salaries, etc., and wound up by saying
that the ST. Louis was indeed the queen
n of the ocean.
The ambassador entertained Senator
gohn w. Daniel, Of Virginia. and Mr.,
YTheodore w. Cramp, Of Philadelphia.
During his conversation with Mr.. Cramp
Withdrew some Of his Investments during
the last few years, and after Mr.. Cramp
gave his reasons the Chinese traveller re-.
piled, "Oh, yes, you don't want oil your
pggs In ons basket" Thus again showing
is knowledge and appreciation Of some
our sayings In talking OF the religion
hfna, the ambassador said they wore get
pg very liberal.
