MOB KILLS A PRIEST.
CHINESE FANATICS RESENT THE
WORK OF CHRISTIANS.
Missionaries in Liu Ching Are Slain
by Angry Followers of the Old Faiths
Three Killed, Eight Wounded, and
Four Taken Into Captivity.
Victims Were Catholics.


Anti Christian riots have taken place
in Liu Ching, China. A mob Of fanatics,
loudly proclaiming that Roman Catholics
had kidnapped their children, rushed sim
UNANIMOUSLY on the mission buildings. IN
the fierce fight that ensued three Chris
tians were killed outright, eight wounded
and four captured. Particulars are COM
ing in meagerly. The Rev. Father Nd
zelis is among those killed. The wildly
yelling mob attacked the rear and front
of the priests residence, but with the help
of friendly natives he barricaded the back
and faced the mob in front with rifle,
but the barbados were broken down. TIE
priest was shot and his body hacked to
pieces. Placards are being posted through
out many districts stating that foreigners
must be driven out of the country or
China will be divided between them and
their homes destroyed and their children
stolen from them. 1t is feared that more
murders will take place, as leagues are
being formed-in some districts thousands
strong-with the avowed determination OF
exterminating the missionaries. The MIS-
sionaries refuse to leave, saying they WEI
resist to the last, trusting to Providence.
The priests sent out from the Paris head
quarters are twenty-seven in number, the
bishop being Mgr. GulEon. There are,
besides, thirteen nuns. The mission IS
divided into twenty-five stations, which
are attended by about $4,000 Chinese OK
Manchurian Catholics. The ecclesiastics
state that the missionaries are inclined to
attribute the atrocities which are reported
from Mongolia to robbers who infest the
country rather than to political or anti
religious agitators

Want Preys Upon Them.

- -
The st. Louis Globe-Democrat has this
from Key West: "One of the most promi-
nent cigarmakers here, who has just re-
the distress in Cuba, that the half is not
told. One of the unavoidable results of
Weyler's cruel decree concentrating the
country population in the fortified towns
and Cities said he, is that want and
starvation have become frightful, espe-
ciaily in the province of Pinar del Rio,
from which authenticated details of bru-
tality and suffering among the American
residents are heart-rending. In this
province hundreds of refugees are living
in the most squalid manner, being hud-
died together like pigs in overcrowded
huts and shanties, while the native in
habitants look on with the most disgust
ing Indifference. Between thirty-hye and
fifty patients were huddled together IN
the smallpox pest houses, their touches
being old boards laid upon the damp
ground. There are no physicians to at
tend them, while their food is both poor
and insufficient Unless immediate as
sistance is rendered these poor creatures,
starvation is inevitable for all who do not
die of smallpox and other scourges. The
condition of the American refugees at
San Cristobal is very similar to the mis-
cries and starvation endured by the poor
creatures in Pinar del Rio Reliable in
formation from all of the four western
provinces is that the terrible ravages OF
starvation and disease among the recon
centrados is beyond belief. Wey.er's
policy is one of determination"

PHOTOGRAPHS HUMAN VOICE.

Brooklyn Clergyman Can Reproduce
Original Sound Waves
The process Of photographing sound
waves and from the plates producing the
original sounds has been, it is announced,
successfully carried out by the Rev. A. G.
Ferguson, Baptist minister now living
in Brooklyn. The astonishing part of his
discovery, he says, is the simplicity of the
process by which this result has been
achieved. There is no ponderous or COM
plicated machinery only two disks, each
about seven inches in diameter, revolved
by ordinary cranks. One of these, the
recorder, is horizontal; the second, the re-
producer, is revolved perpendiculariy.
