quently on the same charge, but never
has the direct evidence been placed
before the Court, probably because of
the fear on the part Of the girl of the
outcome of such action on her part.
Goo Kim Fui, Chinese Commercial
Agent, is after Sun Looks scalp and
anxious to have him convicted.
In a conversation with Judge Will
cox yesterday, he said: There should
be here a Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Children, who would
take such as this little Chinese girl
away from the place where she is so
cruelty treated. Probably if she re-
turns to her present home she will be
beaten worse than ever before, on ac-
count of having told of the assaults
upon her. She is nothing but a slave. )"

Gophers Destroy a Canal.

An Oklahoma City enterprise has
been ruined by the gopher pest, says
the Scientific American. 1t was
thought that the rapidly flowing North
Canadian River could be used to oper-
ate all the mills that could be placed
on its banks at Oklahoma City. The
fall was nearly 80 feet and it was ex-
pected that 1000 horsepower would be
developed. A canal five miles long was
constructed, at an expense of 100000.
II was diked part of the way md the
river was crossed twice.
The canal is % feet wide and feet
deep. and when four inches of water
was let in at the head gate an electric
light plant and large Touring mill
were run with ease, but an unsupported
enemy soon caused disaster to the en-
terprise The banks of the canal were
of porous, sandy soil and gophers at
tackled the dixie, the holes which the
animals burrowed quickly widened into
crevasses, and the sandy bikes were
easily swept away, causing constant
and expensive repairs. Finally the en-
tire canal became wrecked, and farm
ers are now blowing up the right Of
way and the canal is gone.

THEIR AIM UNTRUE.
Chinese Need Some Practice With
Guns


The North China Daily News tells an
amusing incident illustrative of the
poor aim of the gunners in charge at
the fort at Woosung. H NJ. 5. ImmOr
talite arrived and anchored outside the
spit buoy recently, and the next morn
ing unmOOred preparatory TO steam
ing in TO the anchorage, when one of
the guns in the fort was fred and the
shot fell into the water some 200 yards
from the ship. This was followed by
another, the shot falling still nearer to
the ImmoTtalite. Thinking. naturally,
that he was being fired upon, Captain
Chichester had the ship cleared for ac-
ton, magazines opened and ammuni-
ton passed up. The guns were trained
on the fort and the ship steamed slow
~ in to the anchorage with crew at
quarters. No more shots were fired,
however, and il was afterwards eX-
planned that the guns were fired for the
edifcation of a Chinese official, and
that those in charge thought that the
ImmOrtalite was farther out of range
than she really was. Ample apologies
were rendered and what might have
been very serious matter ended salts
factorily.

At a rough estimate, there will be

half of which will go to the Hawaiian

the Strangers Friend Society. The

PHOTOGRAPHIC FAD.

Uoo0 - Ornaments of Menus and Other
... Souvenirs.
The camern iS>Queen at present, and
the fad for photographs comes q close
Hecond in the minds q fashions vota-
ries. Photographs ASe everywhere,
upon everything. From letter paper to
china, from book covers to door panels,
from gloves to garter clasps, the photo
graph is placed in every position which
ingenuity can devise. The latest in
this line Is the fad for menu, dinner,
luncheon and invitation cards, each
with tiny photogc aph of the fair
hostess in the upper left-hand corner.
These pretty trifles cost from sever.
dollars q dozen upward, and they CA
be used but once, of course, but THE,
make charming souvenirs of an occa-
sion, and as they are quite beyond the
reach OF the woman of moderate Gil
cumstances they are Bound to be popu-
lar.
This is the mode 81 placing them
upon the cards or stationery: The
prettiest photograph which you have
is taken to the half-tone man, reduced
and made ready for printing. This
costs from $1.50 to SO, according to
personal taste and the quality of the
work. Only good, smooth, fine paper
IAN be used, and this adds to the cost.
The first lot Of letter paper Give quires)
costs nearly five dollars. After that
the cost is increased by the cost OF
producing the half-tone.
One clever Chicago girl who dab
bles in photography made for herself
some new menu cards which cost q
great deal less and look quite as pretty
as the seven-dollar ones. She first in
duced sister to take tiny portrait
Of her which she developed and printed
in the regular way. Then she cut out
the photograph, using a delicate oval
outline as a margin, and afterward COW
cred the finishing line with fine
tracery Of pen and ink work. The re-
suit resembled fine half-tone with q
border of etching, and the effect was
so satisfactory and charming that she
has since filed many ON order for her
riends.-Chicago Times-Herald.

SAVED THE COUN

The country Is indebted to that dis
tinguished Anglo-American E. l..
Godkin OF the New York evening
Post, for the discovery that this coun-
try was saved from anarchists in No
vember last by the aid Ut the foreign
born vote. The highly educated adj
ditions made to our population in re-
cent years by the importation OF
paupers and criminals from Italy,
Austria Hungary and other European
countries could not bear the thought
of having the creditors Of the United
States or of it's corporations or
citizens paid in anything but gold
coin. Mr.. Godkin demonstrated to
his own satisfaction that il the prisons
and pesthouses of Europe had not
yomited upon our shores large pro-
portion of their inmates the United
States would have gone to the adem-
milton bow-wows." American dis
honesty was crushed out by this
noble uprising Of the honest men i'm
ported in the steerage Of steamships
at SIS per head. He proved this to
be true by showing that Mckinley
carried the states which are inhabit-
ed by these more recent contributions
to our population
The natural and steady flow of gen.
uine voluntary immigration has
brought to our country, as a rule, e.
from the British islands and the
countries on the North sea. But the
human cattle whose coming hither
has been the result partly OF expelling
forces in their own countries and
partly of the united cupidity Of those
who wanted their labor at starvation
wages and the transportation COM
pai.ies which made profit ON their
passage are simply disease in our
body politiC. In view Of the liberal
prices at which votes were quoted in
the last campaign, we think Mr.. God
kin is entirely correct in the assump-
ton that this class Of newly fiedged
citizens, or bogus citizens, voted for
Mckinley and IS ound money. We
are willing to concede his claim that
their votes were controlling.
There is another class Of citizens
who voted for Mckinley, although
their votes are not sufficiently numer-
GUS to control electoral votes in any
state. We refer to the negro vote in
the south, which constitute the main
bouy of the Republican party in that
section of the country. Through per
fectly natural causes the fact is rec
ognized that their vote is mainly il
iterate. In estimating the plurality
of votes in the United States for Ma
jor Mckinley these colored litter
ates, OF course, cut very large figure.
Major McKinley's plurality over Bry-
an was 100000. If from his vote
should be deducted that of the native
black illiterates and the undesirable
sort Oh white voters we nave herein
described, it cannot be doubted that
the plurality would be largely in
Bryan's favor. This would be true
after deducting all the white illit-
crates from the vote given for Mr..
Bryan.
What satisfaction the "sound mon
ey' writer's can find in arraying such
facts as these ID beyond our compre-
hension. In Godxin's case it was evil
IDENTIFY to crafty his hatred of tho
American people. But the sooner
Americans cease dwelling on the
ugly facts above stated the better it
will be for the good name OF our PEG.
