A WAY TO WIN SINNERS.
How California Cinnamon Arc
Converted Occasionally.
Carried Away by the Charms of Almond
Eyed Inmates of Christian Missions
They Give Up Gambling and
Renounce Joss.

Many and unexpected are the ways by
which sinners are sometimes led into
the fold, and the approaching mar
riage of All Lecn furnishes an instance
of this.
All Leen is good little girl who lives
in the Presbyterian mission at San Fran
cisco, away from the pomps and vanities
of this wicked world. Every Sunday,
however, she goes religiousiy TO church
along with the other girls who have
been rescued by the kind-hearted ladies
of the occidental board. The passing of
this procession is an opportunity eager
ly seized by the eligible bachelors of
Chinatown, who turn out en- masse and
line the sidewalks along the route, each
good one cherishing the intention of
asking Miss Culbertson for the hand of
the girl who strikes his fancy most. AS
for the wicked, they know that it is use
less to apply. Now, one gay and spright-
ly bachelor was particularly struck n
couple of months ago by the beauty of
All Leen. He watched the procession
pass with eyes only for her, and when
she had entered the sacred edifice, in
stead of resigning himself to go home,
he made a mighty effort to overcome the
prejudices of early education and fol-
lowed her into the church. From that
date n change has come over the bach.
elor. He no longer burns punk at the
shrines of his countrymen, nor does he
dissipate money in having his fortune
told; in fact, he has become in every
way worthy of All Leen, to whom he is
soon to be united.
During the present strained condition
of things in Chinatown, however, he
shrinlSs from the notriety OF having his
changed condition commented on by
his friends. Courtship, rs it is under
stood in Chinese circles, is somewhat
tame and practical affair. There is n

THE WAR In AFRICA.
Troops That Will Serve in the
Ashantee Campaign.
Native Tribesmen Who Serve as British
Soldiers VIII Have to Do the Hardest
NORTHWEST Indian Troops Al
ready In the Field.

In the coming campaign against Ash
antee, the British will depend largely
upon levies gathered from among the
native tribes that are more or less under
her domain, and who, hating the Ash
antees, are only too glad to join in an
expedition that promises some revenge
for the many wrongs that they have
received at their hands. In the Gold
Coast colony itself, the best men to be
depended upon are those of Anamaboe
and Corramantine. These two tribes
are in physique markedly superior to
their Fanti neighbors, and arc certain
ly Drawer. The actual Cape Coast man
is a fine specimen of humanity; but he
is an arrant coward, and though much
bigger and stronger than the Ashantee,
will run before him every time. The
Wassaw people, to the north and west
of Cape Coast colony, are good for as
many men as the British can arm, and
are plucky, Woodworking fellows. In
the last war these men were formed
into an irregular artillery. They hauled
the guns over the worst of roads, and in
action served them most creditably.
Another kingdom that will gladyl send
a contingent to help the British are the
Juabins and the tribes along the Volta
river. These people suffer more from
the annual Ashantce invasion than any
Of the rest, and it is from these that
the Ashantees collect the majority OF
their victims for their frequent human
sacrifices.
All these tribes are part of the great
Fanti family. Their dress consists OF
a single cloth, made from the cotton OF
the ceiba, or silk-cotton tree, and is
worn like a Roman toga, the right arm
being bare. The salute of these men
is peculiar. When passing or wishing
to speak to superior, the right arm

and completed classical course at
Dartmouth college, from which he
graduated in 1860. Having determined
to adopt journalism as profession, he
entered the service of the st. Adams
Daily Messenger as assistant editor.
His work there soon attracted atten-
ton, and in 1882 he was invited to join
the staff of the Boston Daily Advertiser
as Washington correspondent, in which
capacity he continued to serve until
1886, when he was recalled to become
editor in chief. Two years later he ac-
quired controlling proprietary interest
in the property, as well as of the Even
ing Record, and assumed the entire
management of their affairs. In 1887
he was elected a member of the Massa.
chusetts legislature, and reelected in
1883, 1880, 1890, 1891 and 1892. At the
beginning of his second term in the
body he was elected speaker by the re-
publican majority, and at each subse-
quent organization during the period Of
his service he was chosen speaker by
the votes of both parties. When Henry
Cabot Lodge resigned his seat as repre-
sentative in congress in April, 1898, in
order to enter upon his duties as sena-
tor, Mr.. Barrett was nominated by the
republicans to succeed him. a special
election was held, William Everett
(dem.) being elected. At the, general
election of 1894 he was elected to cor
gress as republican, receiving 15,1ss
votes, against S,747 votes for Charles A..

is passed across to the left shoulder
and this end of the cloth raised from it
for a moment. The women wear n
calico cloth generally of blue color. This
cloth is passed under the arms, leaving
them and the shoulders bare. The
cloth is wrapped as tightly as pos
sible around the body.
The men who will have the hardest
work in the campaign will be the two
battalions of the West Indian regiment.
These will probably number about 800
rank and file. The men are all colored,
and are recruited exclusively in the
West India islands. In physique there
are few regiments that are their supe-
riors, and, as these men have been do
ing good deal of border warfare around
Sierre Leone for the last few years, they
will be in excellent condition for tus-
sic with their old enemies. The Off
GERS are all white men and have the
same uniform as officers of the line,
but with the men the uniform is that
Of zouaves. The headgear is fez, with
turban bound around it. A red sleeve
less jacket is drawn over white waist
coat with sleeves. The trousers are
baggy and of blue serge. They are
tied up just under the knee and hang
over pair of yellow leggings that are
a capital protection. The men are well
booted with Oxford shoes. over which
are buttoned pair of white 'spats,' V
or over-gaiters.
When on active service the men have
dungaree trousers, and red jacket
is used only on Sunday parade. The
men are fairly good shots and keenly
love to fight. The chief difficulty is to
keep the men in hand when n lively
fight is taking place. They are not
given to burdening themselves with
prisoners.
Another force that will be called up
on to do hard work and hard fighting
are the Houssa force or Gold Coast con-
stabulary. These men come entirely
from the Houssa tribe that has its home
on the banks of the Congo. They are
short, stocl.somen, capable of enduring
almost arv hardship, and, like the Gour-
kes of mia, live only to fight. They,
like the West India troops, are Differed
by white men, and have proved them
selves in many Q brush fight brave and
reliable men. Their dress is after the
zouave fashion, but is q serviceable dark
blue cloth. Their legs from the knees
downward are incased in what is known
as ''putties," an East India term. This
consists of roll of cloth ahont three
inches wide and about three ards long.
1t is bound tightly around TIE legs and
has been proved to be one of the best
things to help men going on long
march. The men as rule speak only
the Houssa language, but they soon
learn the words of command in English,
and the non-commissioned officers are
selected either for bravery or for hav-
ing learned the English language.
They are about 800 strong.

when it passed into the control of the
