CHINESE SLAVE RUNS AWAY
A Complaint Is Issued Charging Her
With Grand Larceny

Cue Quing escaped from amiserable den
in Chinatown where she was held by her
master for illegitimate purposes. She
has thus far succeeded in keeping her
whereabouts unknown. Yesterday af-
ternoon Wong Tong 81 called at the dis
trict attorneys office and asked for a
complaint against the woman, charging
her with grand larceny. The Chinaman
alleged that she had run away with a
diamond ring and some gold bracelets.

1t was simply the old dodge of drafting
the law into force to serve the nefarious
purposes of Chinese STAKEHOLDER. The
game has been worked time and time be-
fore in the same way. The officers are
put on the track Of the woman and when
she is caught and brought back for trial
the complaining witness fails to appear
and the proceedings are dismissed In
he meantime possession of the girl has
been regained and the matter is settled
so far as the public is concerned
This particular girl was purchased in
San Francisco about two years ago by
Wong. He brought her down here and
placed her in a house of prostitution
first giving her lot of jewelry. The gift
was an act of policy and done to secure
the girls bondage, for if she should de-
sire freedom strong enough to seek it,
there would be no trouble in getting out

life and on Saturday night made break

Example of London Hard Times

Two pathetic letters were left by a
clerk named William Alexander Green,
living in Selhurst road South Norwood,
who committed suicide by cutting his
throat at the Trafalgar hotel Charing

to the act, notes the London Mail were
explained by him in the first letter which
was as follows:

took two bottles of chlorodyne to kill
myself, and when by Wednesday morn

The second letter was addressed to his
wife in the following terms:

rendered Improbable. I suppose in
Northern Michigan there are IL 900 peo-
pie without resources All through the
east the same terrible conditions pre-

no relief. If anyone knows a remedy for
this state of affairs wish they would

in this way much to be thankful for.

here than in any state in the union.
This Is not a time for partisan legisla-

HIS GRACE WAS UPSET
Marlborough Doubted the Motor
mans Skill in Stopping a Car

During his visit to the United States
the late duke of Marlborough made a
host of friends. His quick eye, unas-
Stunning manner and ability to grasp cas-
lily the many-sided' electrical questions
won the honest admiration of the prac-
teal Yankee, whose ideal of the English
duke differed in every way from the real
live British peer. Upon one occasion,
however, the old domineering spirit of
the duke gained the mastery, and he
paid for the temporary lapse from re-
publican manners with a few good
bruises and a rather severe shaking up
of the ducal frame.
The duke was making a tour of in
spection over one of the Chicago cable
lines and came across cable car driver
who was a typical Yankee, born and
bred in the state of Connecticut.
Can you stop the car quickly?" asked
his grace
II jest reckon we kin bet yer life
can. Mister Duke"
"How soon?"
"In bout two yards" replied the
Yankee.
Nonsense" sharply exclaimed his
grace. The next moment the duke was
busy picking himself out of. a, small
sand bank by the side of the tram line
into which the abrupt etoppage of the
car had thrown him. AS he quietly
brushed himself the Yankee smiled and
remarked: 81 hope yer amt hurt, Mr..
Duke! Guess yer think kin stop her

ANOTHER SHATTERED IDOL
Jim Stafford Did Not Jump Into the
Sea After the Flag

Another beautiful story appears to be
ruined by letter written to a Boston
newspaper. The Daughters of the Rev
olution have been exhibiting a flag said
to be that flown by the Bon Homme
Richard in her action with the Scraps.
The story is that when the flag was shot
away a Lieut.. James Bayard Stafford
jumped overheard and saved it. Stat
ford was said to be an officer on a vessel
called the Kitty. captured by British
cruiser and recaptured by Paul Jones
when he took the cruiser. The flag was
given to Stafford in 1884. The writer to
the Boston paper shows that there is no
such name as James Bayard Stafford
in the records of the navy, which extend
back to 1775; that the Bon Homme Rich
ard captured only two English ships,
the Drake and the Scraps; that Paul
Jones, in his official report of the action
with the latter mentions the shooting
away of the flag but says nothing of its
rescue; and, finally. that, although
Stafford is said to have got the flag
from the Alliance, that ship had for
considerable time been in the hands of
en- emies of Paul Jones, who would hard
ly have been likely to preserve his flag.
The whole story does indeed seem to
rest on insufficient foundations, and "A
Seeker After Truth" as he calls himself,
has done good act in revealing its in
consistencies.-New York Times.

voYAGING TO HEATHEN LANDS
Long Trip of a Yankee Schooner Bear
ing Rum to Natives

The recent voyage of a certain brig
from Boston to the gold coast of Africa
as described for publication by her cap
tain, is Interesting reading.
1t will doubtless interest the temper
ance and missionary societies to know
that the brig left Boston last fall, laden
with ITO hogsheads of rum for the little
known gold coast. Although she took
some other articles, most of the profits of
the voyage were to come from the rum.
So utterly primeval is thsisolated part
of the African coast that the cargo had
to be landed through the surf from the
vessel. Through some remarkabl alb
original instinct the natives scented the
cargo almost before the >brig was in
sight, and as soon as she was at anchor
dove through the waters like hungry
sharks
Among the interesting facts about the
African natives related by the captain is
that since there are no beasts of burden
and no conveyances on the gold coast
the barrels of rum are rolled inland by
hand. 50 that liquor has been thus rolled
hundreds of miles into the country.
It is further related that the natives
have become SO infatuated with rum
carried from various countries to their
coast that a vessel which proposes to
have its cargo landed must carry it as
currency, or no business can be done
Gold is deprecated currency as against
rum on this lonely coast
The wonderful 4O00-nile voyage Of this
brig to the gold coast with ITO hogsheads
of New England rum offers some most
interesting suggestions for missionaries
and temperance reformersl to PONDER

INVENTED THE JINRIKISHA
Japan's Vehicle for Passengers De-
signed by an American

1t is not generally known that the in
ventor of the famous national vehicle of
Japan, the jinrikisha, is an American,
and resides in Philadelphia. He is Rev.
Jonathan Goble. Gobe accompanied
Commander Perry in his expedition to
Japan in 1858, when that country was
opened up to the commerce of the world.
Returning to the United States, accom-
panied by the first japanese convert to
Christianity, Sentaro, Mr. Goble entered
Colgate university at Hamilton, N. Y.
After finishing a four years course he
was, in 1859, ordained a Baptist minister
and sent to Japan as missionary by the
American Baptist Free Missionary So
ciety Mr.. Goble, who served as inter-

wiser to the japanese government. was
also commissioned as United States
marshal in or6'sr to hold control of the
United States consulate at Yokohama
at time when an unfaithful consul was
trying to abscond with papers and funds
belonging to the government. In 1869
Rev Mr.. Goble was asked by Prince Ito
to draw a plan for a vehicle to be used
in the imperial parks at Yokohama,
and made drawing of little jinrikisha,
through the east He derived the idea
from the London bath chair, simply sub
shutting a coolie' for the little front
wheel.
For many years past Japan has ex-
ported many thousands of these vehicles
to other eastern countries. In Toxic
alone there are not fewer than half a
million now in use. The government

from this source forming no inconsider-
able item of the national revenue. Mr..
Goble never received penny for his
invention, as the Japanese government
does not issue patents or copyrights to
foreigners. However one of his SER
wants became a wealthy manufacturer
of jinrikishas and used his profits in the
promotion of bible distribution and
other missionary work-Pittsburg Dis
