Millions Of Dollars Being spent to
Open the Flcvcry KinEdon?.
The close of the century will have
witnessed the beginning of profound
change in the industrial conditions OF
China and the adjacent parts of the
orient, says Review of Reviews. Besides
the great trunk railroads that the Rus:
slams are to build in the north of China,
and the Chinese lines that will be built
by the Belgian company recently char
tered, it is announced that the French
government has completed important
arrangements for the extension of rail
roads from Cochin China, the Tonquin
region, well into the adjacent Chinese
provinces. On the west the trans-Cas-
plan lines are approaching Chinese ter=
ritory. while railroad building under
English governmental auspices in the
Malayan peninsula is progressing with
much enterprise, and new concessions
have Just been wrested from the Chinese
government. Several million dollars'is
about to be spent for constructing 200
miles of road as an extension of exist
ing lines. All this work in and about
China means the gradual opening up Of
an enormous commerce with that rich
and productive empire.

MARRIAGES AT SEA.
They Seem to Re yecy Hollow oeRe-
monies.

They Seem to Re Very Hollow oeRe-
monies.
a Los Angeles father whose daughter
went through the ceremony of mar
rage at sea proposes to test the legality
OF that form of marriage. When the
nlarriage.at-sea business is looked into
it L, -!ears to be a very hollow ceremony,
lt.sinply means that the male and fe-
male have travelled outside of the juris-
diction Of the state to go through a GER
empny that has no other force than that
derived from state laws. Outside of the
thuee-mile limit there is no law govern
ing marriage, and consequently no law
against any particular marriage cere-
ynony Parties go to sea to escape the
conditions attached to the performance
OF the marriage ceremony within the
state. Yet they expect the state to rec
Cgnize as valid ceremony performed
in violation of the states laws. The
state has a purpose in providing that
minors shall not marry except with the
consent of their parents. That purpose
is mainly to prevent young people who
do not know much about each other
and whose mental and moral condition
not such as their parents regard as
necessary to the assumption of marital
relations, from forming the alliance for
which they are unfit. This purpose, of
course, is defeated, when the youngpeo-
pie slip out of port and coax a good
natured sea captain to humble over
their joined hands some words that
have no legal Significance whatever. AS
well might the young people make GER
tain promises to each other and then
declare that they were married.
Marriage at sea is simply a contract
with the contract left out. It
is Il kind of bluff on the girls parents,
who justly consider that her prospects
h life are ruined unless the marriage
IS recognized. When parties desiringto
marry go from state which throws
,one restraint about marriage con-
racts TO state which asks no ques-
ions they have the satisfaction of
moving that they are married accord
,g to the laws of the state they were
larried in. But when they are mar
ed at sea they have the sanction of no
w whatever. They went to sea to es-
pe law.-6an Francisco Bulletin.

The Christmas Tree.

The Library Hall last evening was crowded to it's utmost capacity, with loving parents and happy children, the joy of whose hearts was shown in their glowing eyes and the merry prattle of their happy voices.
 After a short programme of Christmas carols and recitations, the lights in the hall were extinguished and the curtains which partially obscured the tree from the audience were drawn. and when all was ready the lights were turned on, but this time the elegant Christmas tree, loaded with its burden of pretty things for the little ones, seemed to be literally ablaze, and presented a sight of gorgeous beauty which brought the surprised exclamation of "Oh! Isn't that iovely!" from hundreds of throats, and It was lovely sight, for l6O electric jets which had been place in position in all parts of the large tree,. burst upon the vision at once, and like Allad- in's lamp, revealed new world of beauty and loveliness in twinkling-- one that will be remembered into the ripening years of old age by many a child now of tender yeaas.
 The little ones of the Sunday school were each remembered with present of some sort. accompanied by cornu- copia of candy. Many presents were put on by outside parties, some of which, to say the least, were quite amusing, and in more than one instance the receiver was heartily cheered and joliied because of the uniqueness of his or her present.
 The tree itself and it's decoration of colored lights was the gift of the Copper Queen company to the Sunday school, and was heartily appreciated. There is not another town in the territory, and but few in the United States, where the Christmas trees were lighted by elec- .tric lights or presented more beauti- ful appearance than did the one at the l ibrary Hall last night.

ATTEMPTED RAPE.
A Fiend Makes Criminal Assault on
 Ten.year.old Child.

About 10 o'clock,a. m. Thursday while the ten-year- old daughter of Mrs. Welch, sister of Jos. Pemberlee, the electri- elan for the Copper Queen, and two lit- tie boys, the sons of Benj. Pringle, were playing in their yard in an old piano box for play house, they were accosted by man who wanted to get into the box. He then gave the little boys five cents piece to go and buy candy with so that he might accomplish his fiend- ish purpose. He then grabbed hold of the little girl and tried to force her down. The child, now thoroughly frightened, cried out, which brought the mother, Mrs. Weich, and Mrs. Prln- gle, to, the scene.
 The two ladies took ln the situation at a glance, and the mother, 'nke.an lnIurl- ated eagle m defense of her young, flew at the wretch and succeeded lf beating him off, knocking hlm down twice be fore he could make his escape.
 An officer was at once notified and started in pursuit of this tiend in human shape, and after about an hours search found him iii hiding in one ot thc guIch- es In upper rom tone canYro, and he was at once arrested and lodged III jail.
 The man at the time WAS under inilu- ence of liquor, but this Is no paiiatlon for his crime, winch should be punished with, the utmost severity inflicted by our laws.
 At this writing no complaint has been made against the wretch; Ill the mean time he IS securely locked up Ill the jail with strong guard on duty, as threats of lynching are heard on all corners.
