fight on the Crime and Vice
In New York CitS.

DR.. Pankhurst's agents are planning
q crusade in new field. The society.

led to The Lexow investigation and ;he
temporary overthrow of Tammany. in
tends 10 carry oHt a similar work in
the sections joined to Manhattan by
the consolidation, especially Long
Island City and Brooklyn, including
Coney Island.
Before he sailed for Europe, DR..
Parkhurst gave directions to the
agents of the Society for the Proven
tion of Crime to gather all evidence
possible against law-breakers in
those sections of Greater New York.
They have been gathering evidence
in various sections east of the river.
where they say frightfu condition OF
affairs exists. The efforts have beer.
directed particularly toward gam
bling dens and disreputable houses.
just when DR.. Parkhurst will re-
turn the officers of the society do not
know, but he is not expected for two
or three weeks. On his arrival the

ALBUMEN FOUND IN COAL TAR.
Lilienfeld's Discovery Attracts
Great Deal OF Attention In
Scicutiflc Circles.

The announcement of Lilienfeld's
discovery of the chemical production
of albumen from the products OF coal
tar and other similar unsppetizing
waste stuff is attracting good deal Of
attention in scientific circles. Despite
the temptation of professional humor-
lists to scoff, il is pointed out that the
discovery may be a great chemical tri-
umph and precisely what is claimed,
but the practical value of substitute
for animal food is quite another ques-
tion.
For instance, at first saccha inc
seemed likely to take the place OF
sugar. but after time it was discov-
cred that, while saccharine provided
the necessary sweetness, it had effe cts
on certain organs which sugar had not.
One authority says:
81 quite believe it possible for a
chemist to make a substance chem,
ically identical with the albumen OF
nature. The point Is, would 1t be
physicologicai!y Identical? Chemical
ly speaking, all nutriment necessary
for man is found in grass and its seeds.
but how would the man fare who tried
to live on grass? Every scientist rec,
ogrizes that man requires phosphorus
for his nervous development, but no,
body would dream of giving phos'
phorus in the inorganic state. 1t is the
same with artificial a1bumen. cannot
say it will replace natural albumen as
human food until it has been subjected

UPRISING IN CHINA.
Drought Causes Destitution That
May End in Revolution.
Missionaries' Lives Are Thought 70
BE in DanGer-Mad HOrdes of
Chinese viii He Tin.
cOntrOllable.

News Of an impe nding revolution In
China is furnished by G. X. Sevey, presi-
dent of the American Steam Naviga-
tion company, who has arrived at San
Francisco on the steamer Doric.
He fears a violent outbreak among
the hordes of Chinese in both the
northern and central provinces, and
believes that great loss of life and
destruction of property will result.
The missionaries scattered through
out the country, he thinks, will be
great sufferers.
In an interview he says:
lowing to the effects of the drought
destitution is certainly impending for
millions of natives. The poorer classes
have been squeezed by the mandarins
| and Chinese governors to such an ex-
tent that nothing is left them now but
mere existence. This year there will
be nothing for the governors to draw
out of the people.
There are several thousand Amer
lean missionaries working in northern
and central China, and when the up
rising comes, as think it will, for the
faminestrieken Chinese will fight for
food. they will be the first to suffer
The American missionaries are well
treated in China, especially by the
poorer classes, but when a Chine ese
population become mad in their rage
for food they level all distinctions and
set about sweeping everything before
them. In Wuhu an outbreak was
threatened recently, but the English
governor, acting for the Chinese gov
ernment, dared the mob. He furnished
his troops with rifles, and is waiting
for any attack that might come. HI
in turn threatened utter destruction
to the Chinese discontents if they at
tempted violence"

the conscience fund" in the treasury
of the United States on the 3Oth oil

Occasionally there are two or three

RETURN DlSGUSTED.
Two ProspectOrs Tell of Their Search
for Gold ALONG the Siberian
and Alaskan Coasts.

F.O.W w. Beasley, of Miles City, Mont,
and Louis Spitcht, of San Francisco,
have Just returned from prospecting
tour along the Siberian and Alaska
coasts.
They were within 100 miles of con-
vict mine settlement, where they met
a Russian commissioner who wanted
them to leave the country under pen.
atty Of imprisonment. The officer told
them the laws strictly prohibited pros
pecting on Russian soil. Six men, four
Englishmen and two Americans, who
persisted in violating the law in 1896,
were arrested and sentenced to a term
of imprisonment IL. the Siberian mines.
The commissioner, in explaining the
manner Of working the Siberian mines,
said that shafts go or 70 feet were sunk
to bed rock and the pay streak was fol-
lowed by drifting. Instead of burn
ing the frozen ground, as in the Klon-
dixie, II is loosened with powder and
pick.
Between 1000 and 5000 convicts are
employed in the mines.
The country is wild and rugged and
devoid of timber, oil being used ex.
clusively for fuel.
The prospectors crossed the straits
of Kotzbue sound and CLOWN districts,
and visited the scenes of all the re-
ported diggings, but did not find any
claims producing more than one cent
to the pan. This information is veri'
fed by numerous other disgusted pros
pectors who are returning to the
states.
Beasley concluded by making the
the emphatic declaration repeatedly
that there had not been an ounce OF
gold mined out of Norton or Kotzbue
sound either last season or this spring

cLASsED AS A PERSON.
The New Bankruptcy Law BY Its
Terms lncludes Women with
Corporations.

In the future there will be no excuse
for the woman who becomes offended
at being called "person." The new
bankruptcy law has taken the sting
away from the term with great care,
and has declared in unequivocal lam
guage that a woman is a "person," and
to be included in the same class as cor
porations.
OF course, this doesn't mean that q
woman is corporation, or that a cor
poration is q person, except when the
legal standing of either is involved in
bankruptcy proceedings under the
new law. j. NJ. Flower, the attorney
who addressed the Chicago Credit
Mems association the other night, re-
CARDS this definition as a gigantic alb
surdity in it's application to women.
Mr.. Flower called the attention Of
the credit men to the chapter on
definitions, referring to it as diction-
ary of terms. He read to them this
passage that they might have q clear
comprehension of q person"
"'Persons' shall include corpora
tions, except where otherwise speci-
fed, and officers, partnerships and
| women"
"The new bankruptcy law is full of
absurdities," said Mr.. Flower, "and !
only called attention to this definition
for the purpose of illustration and by
way of joke. There is no more rea-
son for specifying women as persons
than there is for applying the express
sion to men. The new law does not
change the status of woman in the
least from what it was before the law
was enacted. She has the same priv
ileges as the men, and can either GO
into voluntary or involuntary bank
ruptcy."

Mansion In New York.

There is now no longer doubt in the

LARGE SPACE ASKED FOR.

Exposition In 1900.

F. w. Peck, special commissioner
from the United States to the Paris
exposition. returned to Chicago the
other day from New York. Hereafter
the headquarters of the commission
will be on the second floor of the Aud
itorium building, Chicago. The New
York offices have been transferred to
the Equitable Life building and will
be plac in charge of the assistant COM
missioner as soon as President Nc
Kinley ratifies the appointment of
that official to congress.
Mr.. Peck found numerous applica-
tions for space in the American sec
ton at the 1900 exposition awaiting
him at his office. He went diligently
to work. and within three hours after
his arrival had the affairs of the Office
in a tangible condition. Paul Black
mar, who has long been identified with
the interests of the Peck estate, will
be Mr.. Peck's business manager, and
will practically control the details of
Columbia's display across the At
lantic.

Chicago had already reached Mr.. Peck
before the Pennsylvania train pulled
into Chicago at Ave o'clock, and
he was prepared to Indignantly deny
the motives which the eastern press
imputed to him. He said tina t Chicago,

tinent. was the logical selection for
the honor. New York, he insisted

equal in Importance, though the in,
terests of the commission required
that the bulk of the preparatory work
should be arranged for in the home OF

WILLIAM M'KINLEY.
From His Father Upon HIS Eight
eenth Birthday,

.............. ...................
has been returned to the president
after an absence from his possession
of nearly 40 years.
The story of the book is interesting.
Young Mckinley, at the time of his IA
theirs gift. was attending school at
Poland, o. Part of his leisure time
was spent assisting the postmaster of
the little town in asserting the mail
and in similar duties. A book always
accompanied the future president, for
study or recreation during his other
wise unoccupied moments. The gift
of his father was most frequently his
pocket companion. Some time after
he left Poland the book could not be
found and remained lost for several
years or until the former postmaster's
assistant began his upward career.
One day it was found among the lit
ter in the postmaster's storeroom.
Without realizing its value the book
was added to the modest library
shelves of the finder, where it re-
mained untouched until a few weeks
ago. 1t was then opened and the in
scription read. The idea of returning
it to the president at once suggested
itself.
The former postmaster of Poland,
now an old man, heard that a relative
of his, Mrs. I. ]. Rice, of Chicago, was
shortly going to Washington on visit.
and sent the volume to her to give the
president. Mrs. Rice readily accepted

MAKE WAR ON A WOMAN.
Kansas Men Com plain of BriE,
and Thrifty Female Teacher
in kesrney County.

The young men of Kearney county.
Kan, nave waged war on Miss Tillie
Davies, the county superintendent of
schools, because in addition to her sal
ary she is trying to make some money
on the side by teaching.
Miss Davies lives with her parents
on a farm in a school district practi-
cally depopulated. Miss Davies, her
father and mother compose the school
voting population and they regularly
meet in accordance with law and elect
themselves as the three mem bers OF the
school board. Then the board elects
Miss Davies as the teacher of the school
and votes a nine months term at $40
a month on the nonresident taxpay-
ers of the district. Miss Davies school
consists of two pupils.
The complaint filed by the men of
Kearney county with the heattorney-gen-
eral is based upon the proposition that
the young woman cannot draw two
salaries from the state at the same
time. Back of 1t is a strong feeling
against Miss Davies because the men
have not been able to compete with
her in school work. She came. with
her parents, from the east several years
ago, and it was not long until she drift
ed into politics and captured the Office
of superintendent of schools, which
she has managed to hold ever since.
Miss Davies says that she does not con-
slider that she has violated law, for the
money she made from teaching helped
to keep the wolf from the door Of her
fathers cabin

DIRECT LINES.
Capitalists Interesting Themselves
in Establishing Steamship
Lines to Manila.

Plans are under consideration in
New York city for the establishment
of new steamship lines directly from
America to Manila. A German syndi-
cate and Scotch syndicate are both
engaged in the preliminary work Of
starting companies in the belief that
Dewey's victory will open a new and
lucrative line of trade.
A. Herbert Rennie, British subject
and large wholesale dealer in Amer.
icican -four in Hong-Kong, is in New
York city on business connected with
one of the proposed new lines. Mr..
Rennie is thoroughly familiar with the
eastern situation and the Philippines.
At the Waldorf-Astoria he said:
"We EngHshmen want the United
States to control the Philippines. We
have much admiration for Admiral
Dewey, who has shown himself calm
under difficulties, even under insult.
The impression in the east is that the
Germans would like to interfere If they
could get chance, and that they are
cpending money for the Spaniards.
1T is a curious circumstance that
the German firm of Blackhead & Co.
has the contract to supply the Ameri-
can feet with coal and provisions. Sew.
eral Americans bid for the contract,
but failed to get it. Admiral Dewey
said that United States Payma ST er
Smith, at the China station, had made
arrangements with which he did not
wish to interfere. The Americans
were indignant. To my knowledge
$4,000 more was paid for the supply

THAT HoBsoN KISS.

Young Women Write Their Disap-
Droval Of the Sweet Faver-soda
Water Drink now Called
"H0bs0n KISS"

: Another tribute was paid to the
heroism of Lieut.. Richmond Pearson
Hobson the other night, when, in the
ballroom Of the Long Beach e.. ~ ho-
tel, he was presented with magnif-
cent sword, the gift Of the patrons and
several Of the cottagers. The cere-
mony was a simple one and was fol-
lowed by reception.
While the reception was in progress
one of the handsomest young women
in the hotel, Miss Arnold, of St. Louis,
approached the lieutenant and took his
hand.
"May kiss your" she asked, blush
ingly.
The lieutenant blushed, too. but he
retained his composure and gallantly
replied: IT would be very proud to
consent" and he did.
The news of the kiss whish Miss
Emma Arnold. of ST. Louis, gave Lieut.
Hobson was heralded from the tele-
graph wires. and distant villages read
the story. Three interesting letters
came to a local paper. They were about
that kiss. Here are two:
