shoe DRESSING.

1t is not generally known that where
it is not desirable to use patent polish
or old-fashioned backing on fine shoes
they can be wonderfully freshened with
new milk. The milk should be lightly
applied with a sponge and then al
lowed to dry, after which the shoe
should be well polished with a flannel
cloth. This is meant only for black
kid, not for tan or russell shoes.-Chi-

Killed By Tigers.

Tacoma, Wash, Sept. 20
Chinese advices say that much ex-
citement prevails about Foo Chow
over the killing of many natives
at Kuliang by man-eating tigers,
which have carried off and eaten
many natives.
Hundreds have fed to nearby
cities for protection. They refuse
to return and attend to their
crops, saying that they will leave
the country for good rather than
fight tigers.
Expert hunters have killed
some of the beasts, but more come
down from the mountains. They
first attacked cattle, and destroyed
hundreds of them before many
natives were killed.
The foreign settlement at Foo
Chow has offered a reward of $50
for every full-grown tiger killed.
Traps have been set, and tiger
hunts on a great scale are now in
progress. Several natives who
were caught and torn by tigers
and rescued by hunters are now
in the Foo Chow hospitals.

NOT SILVER COIN.

The announcement that the
Bank of England has determined
to hold one fifth of it's reserve in
silver has provoked much COM
ment both in Europe and this
country.
1t has been generally accepted
as a movement in the direction
of international bimetallism, and
it was predicted that it would
cause a decided advance in the
price of silver. This has not oc-
Cured, and silver still sells at
about SIS cents an ounce.
The action of the Bank of En-
gland has been very generally mis-
understood. The bank will hold
one-ffth of it's reserve in silver
coin. It's issue department has
no authority to coin silver as a
part OF It's metallic reserve. That
reserve is restricted by law of gold
coin, gold bullion and silver bull
lion. The law reads as follows:
"Whereas it is necessary to
limit the amount of silver bullion
on which it shall be lawful for
the issue department of the Bank
of England to issue Bank of Eng
land notes, be it therefore enacted
that it shall not be lawful for the
Bank of England to retain in the
issue department of the said bank
at any one time an amount of
silver bullion exceeding one-fourth
part of the gold coin and bullion
at such time held by the Bank of
in the issue department"
Estimates of the effect of the
action upon the price of
and the cause of internal
tional bimetallism have for the
most part been exaggerated.

Young Lady Abducted.

Bristol, Sept. 2O.--The resi~
dents of Newtown have been
greatly excited over the supposed
abduction of Sarah Tomlinson, a
young girl of that place. She
was taken on a carriage ride by a
young man and had been asked to
take a drink, which she said she
accepted. Shortly afterwards she
became unconscious and says that
when she awoke she found herself
in Trenton. She succeeded in es-
Gaping from her captors during
the night and reached homo. The
is now being investigated.

vi LAWLESS NORTH.
The New York World has the

The New York World has the
following suggestive paragraph.
"It is almost incredible that
any part of the State of New Jer-
sey should be suffering from a
''reign of terror" and yet such
an expression fifty describes the
condition which exists, not in any
remote district of The State, but
along the thickly settled and main
travelled road between New York
and Philadelphia. Attacks on
travellers, highway robberies, out
RACES on women and even sshold-
ups'' of trains are of frequent
occurrence. Life and property are
both unsafe in the very heart of a
highly civilized district"
This is a black picture, but it is
easy to make it blacker. A few
days ago a sherif's posse slaughs
tered a crowd of poor miners in
Pennsylvania. This week five
men who were only suspected of a
crime were lynched by a mob at
Versailles, one of the oldest towns
in Indiana.
1t is a common thing to read
of lynchings north and west, and
in the course Of a year the mill
tia is called out in a half dozen
States north of the Ohio. These
facts r mentioned in no uns
friendly Or sectional spirit, but
it is well to keep them before the
public at a time when some of
the northern newspapers are des
nouncing the South for OCCASION
ally lynching a black brute when
he commits an outrageous crime.
1t must be admitted that there is
too much lawlessnes in:the land,
but it is confined to no one sec
ton. 1t crops out at times in the
Oldest and most cultured commu-
mites.
The South makes agood show
ing compared with other sections.
Her people IRE conservative and
religious, and they treat their
neighbors and strangers well until
they become public enemies and
menace the safety Of helpless
women and children. It is a vio-I
lation of the law to lynch such
monsters, but it is a crime COM
mltted in the interests of Justice i
it is violence for the sake of
peace ; it is a fault on the fright
side.
The sections, instead of throw
ing stones at each others glass
houses, should honestly and
earnestly try to settle their own
problems and restore the good
old conditions under which it was
safe for a friendiess woman to
travel alone from one end of the
country to the other, with the
assurance that every man would
be her protector and defender if
she needed his aid.

THINKS HE WAS E A
Graham Saw a Happier Land, But
Cries of His Wife Brought
Him Back,

Santa Monica, Cal, Sept. 90
William Graham, a consumptive,
and his wife lived in a cottage
here. On Saturday night Graham
apparently died. An undertaken
was called in and prepared the
body for burial. The frenzied
young wife was finally allowed to
90 into the room, and in a par
oxysm of grief she threw herself
upon the body, straining it to her
breast and calling to her loved one
to come back. It was some min
utes before she could be led away,
and then it was noticed that a
slight shudder ran through the
mans body. Restoratives and
massage we're applied, and within
an hour Graham was able to speak
again.
Graham says that he went out
of this life and journeyed into an
other country. He describes u
beautiful road lined with stately
trees, strains of music were in the
air, and he says that along a path
way his father came to meet him.
He tells of their greeting and
conversation, and then of his be
ing torn away, called back to his
worn and aching body by the in
sistent calls of his wife. Graham
is still alive, but he cannot last
more than a few days.

20 PIRATES BEHEADED.
They Were Chinese Outlaws and.
Had Short Shift After Their
Capture.

Tacoma, WASH, Sept. 90
The Chinese newspapers say
that the band of twenty pirates
which has committed many acts
of violence on the Chinese coasts
during the past year has been
captured by the commander and
crew of the Chinese gunboat sent
out from Canton on Aug. 49,.
They we're taken before a mill
tary tribunal at Sau Ling, near
Canton, condemned to be be-
headed, and at once executed.
These pirates robbed a vessel
bound from Canton to the Straits
Settlements late in July, when
the vessel had run aground only
two days out from Canton. The
vessel was in charge Of Chung
Kwei, son of a millionaire mer>
chant of Singapore. He had been
TO Canton for silks, jewelry, and
other wares and was returning
with a full cargo, valued at $780,
600 in money and notes.
The Canton authorities imme.
diately sent a gunboat down the
river with instructions to keep
after the pirates until they were
captured. The Chinese CONS
mander personally went among
the river boats seeking informa~
ton regarding the pirates and
their methods and places Of rem
dezyous. This resulted in infor.
nation which led to the surprise
of the pirates in their hiding
place on an island off the coast.
They were taken in triumph to
Sau Ling, and the stolen prop
erty was recovered.
