The New Salvation Army Finds Recruits In
Chicago


Chicago
CHICAGO, March 20. --BallinRton Booths
followers in Chicago fired the first volley
for the American Volunteers this after
noon at a hall on the West Side, in close
proximity to Salvation army headquar-
quarters. Majors Blackhurst and Trum-
BILE, who arrived from New York today to
organize the Chicago contingent, were
greeted with cheers, mingled with count
less ''amens' and "hallelujahs" when
they explained the cause of the revolt.
They announced their intention to remain
loyal to the standard of Mr.. and Mrs.
Ballington Booth, and forever re-
nounce allegiance to the red-breast-

lined the sidewalks for several blocks.
Notwithstanding the public demonstration
of the volunteers,a "a number OF f,,Salvationists,
who are fighting under General Booths
banner, stood on the curbstone and refused
to be led into secession.
Major Blackhurst was the principal
speaker of the day. AS the official mouth
piece of Ballineton Booth his remarks cre-
ated interest. The speaker said Balling-
ton had been misrepresented, and the fun
damental cause of the whole trouble was
the fact that Ballington was in too close
touch with American ideas, which con-
flicted with those in London. This was q
revolution of right and liberty. He said it
was not true that Ballington Booth dis
obeyed orders. 1t was not true that he
had resigned. Frankly speaking, he
said that Ballingtcn Booth was
summarily dismissed by Commandant
Herbert Booth of Canada, who Represent
ed the general. The major confirmed the
rumor that General Booth once ordered
down the American flag on q certain Of
fee of the Salvation army, over which Bal.
lington had jurisdiction and to this incl

ening of the chasm which separated father
and son. The speaker desired it to be dis

Chinese X RayS

John Mcguire, manager of Maguire's op-
era house. and an antiquarian of note, has
unearthed what he believes to be the fact,
that the cathode, or \ rays, were known
to the Chinese many centuries ago. He
found in the London Philosophical Jour-
nal, of 1882, an account of curious Chi
nese mirror which had the power to reflect
upon a screen, by the aid of the suns rays,
objects on the back OF the mirror, the mir
ror being made of Chinese silver, a COM
bination of tin and copper. The journal
stated that there were but few of the
mirrors then in existence, and they were
evidently the remains of a lost art.

her work and experiences. She is pale,

A Chiness Funeral

SAN FRANCISCO, March 27.-Bow Yee,
president of the Yeong Wo association, one
of the Chinese Six companies, was buried
today with all the honors that his country
men could bestov. Bow Yee died three
days ago, and Chinatown has been in
mourning ever since. Today every hack in
town was engaged for the funeral and the
procession to the cemetery was over
in gorgeous hearse drawn by six white
horses, while brass band played dirge.
Several Chinese bands we're also in the
procession and three large trucks carried
the baked meats which were to nourish
Bow Yee's soul while on his way to heaven.
Bow Yee was big man among the Chinese
and played an important part in their af-
fairs here. He was 53 years old and came
here from China eight months ago. At
that time bitter warfare existed among
the rival associations of the Six companies,
and to Bow Yee was entrusted the delicate
task of reconciling the quarreling Chinese.
