The father treated all his friends and
gave a drink to all of the poor Cauca-
sian wrecks that live upon the bounty
of Chinatown. The baby's horoscope
was cast, and a brilliant future was
predicted. The sacred bananas in the
little joss house in Mott street were
thrown up three times, and each time
came down presaging good fortune.
The luck sticks were drawn three times
and each time the corresponding verse
from the book of life expressed hap
piness, prosperity and honor. Then
the date of the birthday reception was
set and the baby named.
The father and mother gave thanks
to Quan Gin, the goddess of mercy, and
the boy was washed and dressed in
brilliant silk and brought in upon a
handsome dragon pillow. His little
head was shaved so as to mark the
place where the cue will hang in years

New Baby in Chinatown,

Chinatown was the scene Of great
merrymaking to-day. A large portion
of its population gathered in the house
Of Chu Ding, q wealthy Chinese banker,
of Is Mott street, New York City. Chu
Ding's wife had presented him with
son, and this was the cause Of the cele-
bration, for this is the first baby. If
it were a girl there would be mourning
instead Of rejoicing.
Invitations had been scattered broad
cast among the friends, relatives and
acQuaintances Of the happy parents,
and the house was crowded at an early
hour. Chu Ding has been in the United
States twenty-five years, nineteen of
which have been passed in this city,
and he is now AZ years old. His parents
betrOthed him when he was years old
to the unborn daughter of friend who
lived near Canton. Eleven years after
the betrOthal the future Mrs. Chu Ding,
who was Miss Yew Chuong, was born.
Chu Ding received fair education
and came to this country, where he
made money. He brought his bride
from China q little over year ago,
and installed her In little suit of
rooms over his place OF business. In
June he was in a state Of intense eX-
element, and went to the joss house
and prayed more frequently and vigor-
ously than at any other time in his
life. He also secured q little statue Of

Revival of Paganis1n.

The OnOndaga Indians, at least that
part Of them that is still true to pagan
ism, were given genuine revival
meeting on Saturday. The green corn
dance ceremonies will soon be held and
then there will be a ratification of the
ceremonies of Saturday.
Mrs Harriet Converse, Of New York,
who styles herself sort of law-maker,
and who visits the tribe occasionally,
was there on Saturday to rekindle in
them the spirit of paganism, and
through their chiefs urge them to be
true to the traditions of their fore
fathers. OF late years the pagan cause
has suffered greatly, so that only a
portion Of the Indians remain in the
pagan faith, although there are enough
Of them on the reservation, with those
who attend from other reservations, to
make their fete days, or the days upon
which they celebrate their ceremonies,
a fair-sized and respectable assem-
blage. There Is a great deal of same
ness to these ceremonials, which are
offerings to the Great Spirit for the
blessings of the year with supplica-
tiOns for forgiveness for offenses.
On Friday afternoon last Mrs. Con-
verse came to this city She was driven
to the reservation and called at the
chief pagan, Daniel La Forte's, house.
She was cordially received and the
word was quickly but quietly nOised
about that the great lawmaker had
come and would teach her children.
On Saturday morning a large number
Of braves gathered at the great chiefs
home, and Mrs. Converse gave them O
long and earnest harangue on the nee
essity Of maintaining sacerdotal cere-
MONIES
A Herald reporter visited the reser-
vation yesterday and% was informed
that the Indians who were pagans ap-
pear to have the spirit so bred and
born in them that it is very difficult to
uproOt it.
After the revival Mrs. Converse left
the reservation as quietly as she had
come, but the Indians were very much
worked up over her visit.
The burning of the white dog, which
is an annual event, and the most i'm
pOrtant one with the Indians, is done
in January Of each year 1t is sacri-
flee to the Great Spirit, whose wrath
it is hoped to appease. The dog was a
most valuable animal in early days
with the Indian, and the sacrifice was
therefore considered cOrrespondingly
great. The white is not as is gener-
ally supposed a mark of enmity toward
the white man, but typified purity

HoW 70 stop the Crime Of Lynohing.

nOW W OJOp bup OTlHb VI nyuOhluS'
q We may take IL for granted that
lynchings will continue until there
shall be a thorough change in public
sentiment. But how is that change to
be effected? We know of no more pO-
tent instrumentalities than the country
editors and the country preachers,
There are few daily papers in Georgia,
as compared with the number of cOun-
try weeklies, and the latter have in
fluence in their respective localities
that no paper coming from Tie outside
can possibly have when the question
is one of local order and morals. The
country preacher enjoys the same ad-
vantage because of his close personal
relation to his flock. 1t Is for them to
preach patience to the people until
faults In the laws may be corrected.
1t is for them to inculcate popular
respect for the laws, the courts and all
established authority, without which
there must be social disintegration and
crime unbridled. II there were never
any lynChings except those for assaults
upon women, it would not be worth
while to raise a protest, but there are
so many lynchings for other Offenses
that a halt must be called in some way,
otherwise there will be no such thing
as social order or security. NOtwith-
standing the number Of lynChings re-
ported in the public prints, we believe
there are very many more which are
never heard Of outside the localities
in which they occur, for telegraph lines
and railroads do not run everywhere,
and there are thousands of places
Wnere newspaper correspondents are
unknown. Men have been lynched in
recent years for theft, assault and bat
terry, lettering, barn-burning, tresspass
and various other offenses which are
very far from being capital crimes, and
it is against this amplification Of Judge
Lynch's jurisdiction that public senti-
ment must be aroused. Among the
influences which make for the destruc-
ton of society we know of none more
insidious and baleful than that pOr-
tiOn of the public press which makes
business of blazoning scandals. The
constant contemplation of evil breeds
evil III Ine person given LnereIO, uO
matter how we'll disposed that person
may be. There are few papers that are
entirely guiltless Of undue exploitation
of criminal news, and there should be
reform all along the line The rebuke
TO yellow journalism made by the Sen
ate committee in the matter Of the
sugar trust investigation was timely
and thoroughly deserved. The Eng
lish newspapers, which do not indulge
in sensationalism, come more nearly
the true journalistic standard than
many of our sO-called "enterprising"
American papers. A public which
likes to read of crime will make crime.
The grand corrective must be, as we
have said, the inculcation Of respect
for constituted authority, and every
man who has the public ear, whether
in the editorial sanctum or the pulpit,
should strive to uphold and to make
the people realize the majesty of the
law.-Macon (Ga.) Telegraph.

q But Mr.. Fields Is Diving .

but MI Fields ls lying
Mr. Fields Is dying II the ordinary
citizen does not know who Mr.. Fields
is, hundreds of school children Of
Brooklyn can tell him. But Mr.. Fields
is dying and the hearts Of the children
who know him are filled with sorrow.
Instead of rOmping through the play
grounds at recess yesterday the chill
dren in the public schools in the upper
portion Of Brooklyn gathered in groups
and talked in whispers about Mr..
Fields, the policeman. They told each
other how kind he was; that he was
braVer than any other policeman, and
that he was their best friend. They
invariably ended their little stories by
saying, But Mr.. Fields is dying" They
told how he had been injured while
saving the lives of the children coming
from the Gates avenue school; that he
had been on duty at his old post on the
Broadway crOsswalk at the corner of
Gates avenue; that he stopped runa-
way horse that dashed toward crowd
OF children crossing the street on Tues
day morning, and that he was trampled
down by the runaway horse and so
badly injured that they took him away
in an ambulance to st. Mary's hospital.
The policeman referred to Is William
A. Fields, attached to the Ralph avenue
station. He was detailed for special
duty at the Broadway crOsswalk at
Gates avenue. Here he has done
duty since the day electricity was
fptwnIVOaA 90 UWnna11tnu
on the Broadway surface railroad.
He was stationed there to pro-
tect children on their way to school.
There are six schools in the neighbor-
hood three of which are public lnsti-
tutiOns. In the six schools there are
about 5000 children, each one OF whom
Policeman Fields knew. They ad-
dressed him on their way to and from
school with Hello, Mr.. Fields" and
he answered, calling them by name.
When he was detailed to crosswalk
duty he was so careful of the children
that he carried many of them In his
arms from one side Of the street to the
other. This was novelty for the
children. They liked It, 1t grew on
them and also on the policeman until it
got to be habit with both.
"Mr. Fields, give us a jump" is what
the children would say. And crowd
of them would stand in line, waiting
for their turn for a Jump"
Policeman Fields appeared to have
great control over pupils of the six
schools They told him their troubles
and he advised them. He settled their
school disputes, examined their report
cards, and stopped daily to explain
their problems in mathematics. AT the
holiday time ne purchased knick-
knacks and toys, and each Of my chill
dren," as he called them, received a
present from him. The last week in
June of each year 1t was his custom to
distribute roses to his little friends,
who were preparing for their vacation
days. On rainy days, when Broadway,
mt the corner of Gates avenue, was
flooded, Policeman Fields constructed
bridges across the puddles, borrowing
boards and wooden boxes from neigh
boring grocer for the occasion. Part
OF the duty which he took upon him
self was to assist women and children

That is why MALT NU-

all other preparations contain

A few reasons why Malt Nu-
trine is superior to other eX-

1. That it contains almost Is
per cent of Pure Malt Extract,
with less than 2 per cent of AL
cohol.
2. 1t can be given to children
with perfect safety.
3. 1t is not an eXcitant slim

fail to give Malt Murine a

People of every walk of life,
from the laborer to those in

will find beneficial results from
