Killed by Highbinders.

San Francisco. Jan. 25.-Little Pete,
the most noted Chinaman In San Fran
cisco. was murdered by his countrymen
In Chinatown Saturday night. He was
sitting In chair in q Chinese barber
shop when three Chinese entered and
shot him. The murderers were high
binders hired to do the Job. Little Pete
has had varied and remarkable career
I'm San Francisco. and for years has been
the most influential Chinaman in this
part OF the country. Whenever any OF
his countrymen were In trouble, Little
Pete was always called upon to help
them out. and he achieved a reputation
for fixing cases that almost landed him
In the penitentiary. He was at the head
Of the business Of importing Chinese
women to this country for immoral pur-
poses. and waxed wealthy. Little Pete,
although he spoke English fiuently, re-
tanned his Chinese dress as matter Of
policy. He, controlled many OF the gam
bling dens In Chinatown, and his reve-
nues from that source were large. lie
was an all-round sport. He played the
races heavily and made some big win
nings. He was so successful I'm picking
winners that about q year ago the race
track people became suspicious, and it
was found he had a number OF jockeys
In his employ. Little Pete was ruled of
the turf. together with the dishonest
Jockeys.

Miss Templeton had been suffering from

RUFUS cHOATE.

He Stood Easily at the Head az All ths
Forensic Speakers OF His Day.
Again, Mr. Choate was an orator ano
an orator with y range scarcely paralleled
In our country. He stood easily at the
head of all forensic speakers against whom
he was pitted. He held the breathless at
tention OF q rsnate where fingered the
echoes OF Webster's voice and when NJ Clay
and Calhoun were still to be heard. and Il,
was first rate favorite on the platform OF
the convention and the lyceum at a time
when both teemed with fascinating and
Instructive speakers. To occupy a first
class rank In three such highly specialized
lines Of oratory Is rare indeed, yet no one
ever disputed Mr.. Choate's right to that
position. Before Mr.. Webster had been
dead nine months Mr.. Ohoate delivered his
eulogy at Dartmouth college, and Mr.
Everett, speaking of tho Grafton In the
next month, called the orator "our match
less Choate, who has just electrified the
land with burst Of eloquence not easily
to be paralleled In tho line of time I"
Founding his oratory upon the solid basis
of profound learning, whether In law. In
government or in literature he kindled
the mass of all these acquisitions by his
rhetorical genius into consuming heat
and dazzling light all his own.
Mr. Choate's oratorw was distinguished
for an intense richness and exuberanoe OF
language, caught In no slight measure
from his favorite Cicero. This sometimes
makes his speeches difficult 10 read. The
overfowing sentences are too long The
teeming fancy. the bounteous illustration,
verge on the grotesque. But they were
meant for the hour, to be heard, not read,
and two things carried off every vestige OF
tedium or incongruity. First, Mr.. Choate's
personal appearance on every occasion was
20 striking that II held the attention of his
auditors with IN influence that was mag
ioal. OF other distinguished orators, Will
liam Pinkney was famous, as was Erskine
In England, for the extreme, almost fop
plsh, elegance and splendor Of his appear
anoe. Henry Clay presented singular
combination Of features, the most uncouth
that could easily be imagined, with gal
lantry of delivery and magnetism Of tone
that generally captivated any new hearers,
but mingled with q great imperiousness
and defiance that made not a few enemies
In the senate. Seargent s. Prentiss, second
to no American speaker In his amazing
power of arousing enthusiasm, offered Mt
the outset presence a. insignifoant as
st. Paul's. Mr.. Webster's massive staturs
and deep set eyes arc familiar to all, though
the slow manner and ponderous diction Of
later years belonged to the days of his
greatest triumphs. But the power Of Mr.
Choate's look and manner was something
of different order. His shock Of raven
hair, his wildly flashing eye his gaunt
frame, his sallow cheek, his restless action,
and above all, his strangely musical voice
and rhy ythmical delivery, arrested and held
attention In an uncanny, witohlike, man.

Citizens are Gratified With
the Honest Record Of the
Police Department.
No Breath of Scandal Attaches
Itself to the Members Of
This Department.
POLICE RECORDS MAY VANISH
Bat the Taxpayers Rest Assured That Their
Property Is Being Guarded by an Efficient
Corps Of Men-Notes

1t must be source Of much gratihcation
to the citizens of this city to know that
the police department, and the men COM
posing the Central Falls police force, are
above the breath Of suspicion, and when
the records of their doings and the work
OF the department are not spirited away or
hidden from the public gaze, can be COM
pared favorably with any department In
New England.
The Central Falls police force under the
command of Chief Goldsmith and Sergt.
Louks, during the past year, has performed
an amount of work which Justly entities
them to the thanks al the community. In
the first place the officers Of this city cover
more ground than In any other town or
city in New England. There Is no deny
ing the fact that the force Is too small for
present needs, and those In whose hards
the remedy hes, are too small and "consid-
crate" to allow an increase in the force, be-
cause, Democrat might be appointed to
the force. The taxpayers property must
suffer, because a few mountebank poll
ticians have got control of the Republican
machine.
In the second place those whose duty it
is to encourage the department, and assist
it with their best endeavor, and the very
ones who are trying to throw stumbling
blocks in the way of the success of the de-
partment. Some little time ago two burg
lars were arrested in the act Of breaking
into hardware store on Central street. A
man caught breaking and entering tax
payers store in the early hours of the
morning, and a policeman at the risk Of
his life faces both burglars, captures one OF
them and lands him behind the bars. The
next morning the burglar is allowed to go
Free Who is to blame? Not the police
department by any means, the policeman
did his duty. Is it any wonder that the
promoters of pure politics in Che Republi-
can party would like to lose the annual re-
port OF the Chief of Police? No wonder at
all, they do not wish the taxpayers to
know that the police department is doing
its duty while somebody else is shirking,
Intentionally or unintentionally, theirs.

A VICIOUS DOG.

Henry Collettc savsgely Attacked on

Henry Collette while passing through
Sylvan street saturday afternoon, was at

cause for the attack except the viciousness
OF the animal. Mr.. Collette was badly
bitten about the lower limbs before the
dog could be dragged away. 1t is said that
the dog belongs to a Mrs. Pratt. The cir
cumstances were reported to the police de-
partment and action against the owner

FAMINE EXAGGERATED.
Condition Of People In India Not So Bad as
Previously Reported.

London, Jan. 25.--A special CORES
pondent with the government inspection
party sends dispatches from Kolhapur.
He says that the reports which have
been sent to England and the United
States of the acute famine said to exist
In the southern Maharashtra states have
been exaggerated, so far as his observa-
ton has extended. A scarcity Of grain
does, indeed, prevail in the extreme
eastern portion Of this region, but the
people there were able to escape want by
migration, most of them, to the fertile
Kancon plains and elsewhere, where the
shortness Of the grain supply is not felt.
Rice also is plentiful, and means and
measures for the relief of the hungry
are pronounced adequate where needed.
The maharajah, In an interview on the
prospects OF his people escaping starva-
ton, said that his state expected fam
Inc every five years, and were, therefore.
not taken unawares when 1t came. They
were prepared, he said, to spend Ave
laos of rupees for relief In mis- territory.
The British resident was also inter-
viewed, and confirmed the statements OF
the maharajah az to the situation, add
ing that the relief organization was most
that the difficulties from famine and Of
securing and distributing relief were
lighter than in former famines. The
correspondent summed up his views as
follows:
my observation has been in travelling
over the whole western side, that the
famine is not severe there, though 1t may
increase towards June. But in the dis
tricts in which 1 have travelled 1 have
not heard of single death from starva-
ton"
The weekly official report from the
governor general, Lord Elgin, of the
famine outlook in India, gays that from
one to three inches Of rain has fallen
in the Punjab. except in the Delhi dis
trict. and light showers elsewhere. There
Is slight fall in the prices In the
Northern Punjab, while elsewhere they
are stationary.

ports OF fresh outbreaks"

Birth and Wedding Cause Considerable JOY

Poleville, a part OF the famous bowery,
was ablaze with Joy and mirth Saturday
night, and revelry and good cheer was the
order of the evening. The first birth in
the colony took place Friday evening and
the Poles for miles around were invited to
do honor to the event. The first wedding
among the people in that quarter was
scheduled for Saturday night, 30 both
events were celebrated at the same time.
The young Pole and the happy welded
pair received warm reception, 30 much
so that Officer Lambert was compelled to
look in upon the festive scene and lput an
end to the jolification shortly after mid
night. The fiddlers were going, the people
were going, and the growler was perambu-
lating quite frequently when stopped by
the iron arm of the law.

OCEAN ROPES.


A Marine Plant That Grows . Stem Three
Hundred Feet In Length.
The largest marine plant, and probab bly,
globe, Is o gigantic seaweed the nereo-
cystis, the stem of which has been found
to grow as much 40 300 feet long. II was
first discovered not far from the Alaskan
coast, but has since been fonnd floating In
various parts of the Pacific ocean along
the American and Asiatic shores. This
seaweed grows In very curious manner.
Large quantities Of IL are found at little
distance from shore and at depths not ex-
ceeding 800 feet. On loamy bottom large
thickets Of this plant take root, and stem
of the thickness Of ordinary cord grows
upward. At Its top there Ia pear shaped
balloon, which grows with the stem, and
when IL reaches the surface Of the water IL
often measures feet and more In length,
with diameter of feet o inches. This
balloon has, Of course, an upward tend
ency, and keeps the stem growing until it
floats on the surface OF the water. From
the top of this balloon largo tuft Of
strong, thick, spadelike leaves grow out,
which originally are not more than 3 feet
long, and which grow and split until from
the balloon roselike growth of from 90
to 65 feet In diameter covers the water.
This gigantic weed grows In such quanti-
ties that near the shore large meadowlike
islands are formed, which impede naviga-
tion. The natives Of the Aleutian islands
make manifold usage Of this plant. From
their strong dried stems they make ropes
900 feet and more long, while balloons OF
this weed furnish them with large vessels
after they are dried. the smaller ones be-
ing used In their boats 70 bail out water.
The long leaves, after being dried, are cut
into narrow strips and used for wicker
work, the making Of baskets and similar
furniture. -st. Louis Globe Democrat
