A great husky individual with
an accordion, drum and cymbals,
and accompanied by little girl,
was making the rounds on the
streets one day the first Of the
week. The child's voice in
singing attracted universal at
tention, and she received a gen
erous contribution of small
change, but as her guardian was
compelling her to sing at every
store, with scarcely an intermis
sion, the injustice\ to the girl be-
came apparent, and the marshal
very properly stopped the per-
formance. This fellow should
be made to exhibit reasonble
degree of fairness toward the
child who is earning his living
for him, and it would be we'll for
other communities that he may
visit to see that his business is
not carried to the extent of cruel
ty to the child.

CATTLE PLUNGER is LOCATED
GILLETT IN MEXICO WITH LOTS
OF MONEY.
Swallowed by Detectives at Chihuahua
and viii Be Arrested IThen
United States Authorities Arrive.

Kansas City, Dec. A dispatch to
the Journal from Chihuahua, Mexico,
says: Grant G. Gillett, the missing
Kansas cattle plunger, whose sudden
disappearance so startled the fnan-
cial world, arrived in Chihuahua on
Nov. 20, and left on the morning of the
24th for Durango, where it is stated
that he deposited a large sum of money
1 in the bank.
He remained only a short time in
Durango when he bought a return tick
ct to Chihuahua. Two prominent bust
ness men of this city came up from
Durango on the same train with him.
! and stated that he bought a first-class
ticket and rode in a second-class coach
| as far as Torreon, where he took the
Pullman.
The gentlemen got into conversation
With him, and he said he made consid-
cradle money in Colorado in the gen.
eral merchandise business, and he was
in Mexico with the view to investing
in ranch or mining properties. He con-
Versed quite freely upon various topics,
I referring occasionally to the cattle
business. He was well dressed and
wore several beautiful diamonds.
| At Jiminez he was met by his at
/ torney, c. r. TroXel and the two en-
tered into low conversation and re-
manned together until they reached
| Chihuahua. They arrived here last
Monday and went to the leading hotel,
where they registered. The man was
undoubtedly Gillett, as his signature
i correspondent with his signature to a
document held in this city.
TroXel left Tuesday on the stage for
the west, presumably to the mining
camps in the Sierra Madre mountains.
! Gillett is still in the city, but his
whereabouts are unknown, except to
to the detectives. who are closely
shadowing his every movement The
report that Gillett had been arrested
and held in custody here is untrue. The
Jefe Politico says the Mexican authori-
ties have not seen him and know moth
| ing of his whereabouts.
He will be arrested Immediately upon
the arrival of the authorities from the
states, who are expected to arrive soon
from Ell Paso. Their baggage is all in
this city. and. on one of the trunks is
a tag with the name G. r. Troxel.
Three letters which have arrived al

The Chinese Jews.

IL
Among the most remote colonies are
the Jews of China, who have aroused
interesting inquiry and been the theme
of many French writer's. Early in the
seventeenth century and shortly after
the Italian missionaries had come to
Pekin, one of them, Matthew Ricci, re-
ceived morning call. His visitor wore
the gorgeous Chinese dress, including
the cue, but the figure and face were
not Monaghan, and the smiling counte-
nance was not in keeping with the dig
nified Solemnity of q Chinaman. The
gentleman's name was Ngai, and he
heard of the arrival of some foreign
ers who worshiped one Lord of heaven
and earth, and who yet were not Ma
homedans; he belonged to the same re-
ligion, he explained. and had called to
make their acquaintance. Now, Master
Ngai made ii clear that he was an Is
raelite, q native of Kae-fung-foo, the
capital of Honan. He had come to Pc
kin to pass an examination for a man.
DARN degree. and had been led by Gu
riosity and brotherly feeling to call at
the mission house.
In his native city, he said, there were
| ten or twelve families of Israelites and
I d synagogue which they had recently
restored at the expense of 10000 crowns.
and they had a roll of the law 400 or 500
| years old. The missionary's letters de-
| scribed this synagogue. 1t occupied a
space between 800 and 400 feet in length
by about $50 in breadth. and was di-
vided into four courts. 1t had borrowed
some decorative splendor from China.
/ The inscription in Hebrew. Hear o.
Israel; the Lord our God is one Lord
blessed be the name of the glory of his
| kingdom for ever and ever" and the
! ten commandments were emblaZoned in
gold. Silken curtains enclosed the
/ Bethel" which enshrined the sacred
! books, and which only the rabbi might
enter during the time of prayer. Every
detail of this place, with its incense, its
furniture and all its types of good
! things yet to come, is interesting. There
| in the last century the children of Is
rael at Kae-fung-foot worshiped the
God of their fathers with the rites that
! pointed to the Messiah, of whose adj
vent as far as it can be ascertained
they never heard until the arrival OF
the Italian missionaries.
Learned men have entered into dis
| cussions as to whether these people
were Jews or Israelites, whether they
! came TO China from the Assyrian cap
tivity or the Roman dispersion. They
| themselves say that their forefathers
! came from the west; and it is probable
that the settlers arrived by wax OF
! Khorassan and Samarcand. They must
! have been numerous in the ninth cen
fury, for TWO Mohamedan travellers OF
that period describe a rebel named Bae-
hoo taking Canton by storm in A. d
S77 and slaughtering 10000 Jews Ma
| homedans, Christians and Parsees
More than one jew of Kae-fung-foo is
known to have gained the right to wear
/ the little round button on the top OF
his cap, so dear to the ambition of q
Chinaman. The TAPPING rebellion dis
persed the settlement, and the remnant
who remain faithful to the memory OF
old traditions are chiefly poor and dis
! tressed.

a martyrs grave The destruction of

Till this day the fame of Leonidas
with his small Grecian army defending
the pass of Thermopylae, lives in the
polyandrium-a monument containing
the ashes of the Greeks who fell in the
great engagement of that day.
Old England never failed to honor
her soldiers who died in defense of her
national honor. Could we be less gen

would refuse to contribute his mite to
add some stones to the shaft which

soldiers?

as Americans. There should be no in
Vidious distinctions, as there were none
when battles were fought. When the
call to arms was sounded we all be-
came members of the American Pro
tectiVe association; so now we should
all, as we share equally in the victories
gained, contribute our share for this
worthy cause.
On the tomb of Leonidas were en-
graved these words: Let him who
passes by go and tell the Spartans that
we have died in obedience to their sa-
cred laws" On the one to be erected
in our own country should be inscribed.
Let him who passes by tell ali ma
tons that we have died. in obedience

QUEEREST OF ALL TIME TABLES.
A Folder Done In Typewriting On Or
binary Foolscap Writing Paper.


The time table in use on the Newfound-
land railroad is a unique affair, nothing
like it ever before having been seen. The
material is a cheap quality of foolScap
writing paper and the reading matter a
product of the typewriter. 1t requires two
of these sheets, which are pasted in q
strip. to give the list of stations, the time
of the arrival and departure of trains. of
which there IS one every other day from
each terminal point
Not the least amusing feature of the
folder is the peculiar titles of some of the
stopping places, for it is found that one
may olsen Mark at either of the nautical
towns of 1opsail or Gaff Topsail, or he
may continue to the temperance village

of toadS or snakes. There is said to be a
great rivalry between St. Patrick's Brook
and Kitty's Brook. twenty-eight miles

better place to take a dip. People stop

The Newfoundland railroad is 54S miles
long, and passenger leaving st. John S
at in the afternoon is due to arrive at
Fort-au- Basque, the westerly terminus. at
9 the next evening, or in twenty-eight
hours. This is at an average speed of
sixteen miles an hour, which gives the
tourist all the time he needs for sketch
ing and studying the numerous charming
scenes along the line. Those who have
made the run say there is no sense OF
fatigue as the mind is fully occupied in
contemplating the ever-changing piano.
ramic stretches of hill and vale, tumbline
mountain streams and placid lakes, prim,

quadrupled.
