They Marry Chinese.
From the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune
The steamer Empress Of China brings
mail advices of disgraceful scandals IN
Shanghai. British consuls there have dis
covered that Chinese youths attached to
the legation had been marrying English
girls. In fact it had been u fad among
girls to teach these Celestials English and
then marry them
The Chinese youths. with no sanctity for
the marriage law. treated their English
wives as playthings for the hour. and as
soon as they got them to China sold them.
If the girls rebelled their Chinese husbands
left them with nothing. not even the clothes
on their backs. They locked them in empty
houses to scream until some one came to
help them.
In no single instance did these girls write
their relatives in England telling of their
shame. Their parents had forbid their alli-
ance with Cinnamon and they suffered deg
radiation in silence. The press has taken the
matter up. and will request the British gov
desirable International marriages

Mary saw that longer resistance was use

wide the door. As the officer looked in
and saw Daisy eating off the spare bed.
and standing there with feet all tied up,
he gave vent to hearty peals of laughter.
He then asked her about the colt, and she
frankly told him what trouble she had TO
raise it: that il was her own and that she
could not bear to give II up.

The next day the roar of battle was heard

Although thirty-five years have passed
since the Confederate army under General
Lee invaded the fruitful Northland. and
many stories of deeds of heroism have
been recorded on history's page. there are
still tales untold that seem almost incredi-
bic. but yet are true and have remained un-
revealed because those most directly in
terested were averse TO publicity and did not
look upon what they did worthy of
special mention.

With a coarse crochet hook make q

A Fairy 0otlfNAhev.

Jan. ~ was fairy godfather's day al
the Baker Chocolate works In Milton.
Mass On that evening was distributed
the s4s, 600 left BY the will Of the late
Henry l.. Pierce 70 the employees Of the
business Of which he, was manager.
Two hundred and forty five men and
lSb women met the officers Of the cor.
poration in large room in one of the
mills, and after a supper and some dis.
sourse from Mr.. Pieroe's executor each
received check for 800. The Oldest
Employee received a special legacy of
$4,000. It is not recalled that there was
ever a testator whose .testamentary pro.
visions gave more acute satisfaction to
more Of his personal acquaintance than
those OF Mr.. Pierce. There has been no
audible grumbling about his will. He
did everything that was expected of
him and a great deal that was not ex-
pected, surprising very many people and
disappointing none unless possibly
some members of one of the learned
professions, for as yet there has been no
hint of lawsuit over his will. The
will ran over with miscellaneous kind.
ness and benevolence.
Mr.. Pierce ought to have kept school
for testators whose purposes were phil.
anthropio. If Stephen Girard, A. T.
Stewart, Samuel Tilden and Daniel b.
Fayerweathor could have sat under his
instructions awhile, the memory of all
OF them would be sweeter, and the gen.
eral public would be gamer by good
many millions Of useful money. Is there
not some one living who has had expert.
ence of wills and is competent, by dis.
position and knowledge, to open such
class for the instruction of testators?
Might not Mr.. Carnegie undertake it
or Mr.. Pierpont Morgan? - Harper's

The Roanoke times. (Roanoke, Va.) 1897-1977, 1898-01-12

Mrs Jefferson Davis and her daugh-
ter, Miss Winnie Davis, have accepted
invitations to attend the Confederate re-
union in Atlanta this year. 1t is to be
hoped that nothing may come in to pre-
vent these ladies being present ut this re-
union. Many will recall he fact that
their failure to fill engagements at seve-
raj recent Southern gatherings was the
subject of n uch newspaper comment at
the tine. One of the leading dailies of
the South spoke very bitterly of the seem
ing indisposition of Mrs. Davis and her
daughter to take part any longer in de-
mon STATIONS of this kind, and alleged as
reason for it, II decndence of interest in
the South, and in Southern affairs, since
taking up their residence in the North.
Whatever truth there may be in this,
failure to he present at what promises to
he the greatest reunion of Confederate
survivors Georgia has ever witnessed,
would be to open up the old subject anew
and subject both to unpleasant criticisms
from the Southern press.

RUSSELL SAGE SAT UPON.
Dropped With a Thud From a Big
Trust Company.

New York, Jan. 1l.-Russell Sage, who
half century has been ii power on the
Street." has been dethroned. His for
tune of $50, 900. 900 has not saved him.
Ever since the action taken by him In
the Union Pacific deal feeling against
him has been growing, and now ne has
been dropped from the dire Glory of the
Mercantile Trust Company, one. of the
strongest financial institutions in the
city. No reason was given for it; he was
just simply dropped.
This action accentuates IL previous En-
perience of his when he lost control OF
Manhatt, Elevated because of his mar
rowness o. policy. George Gould succeed
ed him and the management of the road
has since then beer on broader scale.
There is no open rupture,betwee Gould
and Sage, in spite Of the fact that Russell
Sage has had all his Manhattan powers
taken from him. Gould's interest in the
Elevated is probably three times that If
Ssgs's. Moreover, Gould controls four.
fifths of the directors.
There is another side o this stcry, and
it is not without pathos. Russell Sage,
who was once so mighty. is now a mere
figure-a huge pawnbroker- charging
only the legal rate of interest on loans,
but eXncting big commissions for max
ing them.
In the evening of his long life he finds
every hand turned against him. He no
longer has the courage to fight back Any
man with S50,0t0,000 and his experience
ami knowledge could be dangerous if he
chose. But men of Wall street know
that he will not risk his own money and
that he can no longer get other peoples
to work with. So he il harmless.
The passage of Russell Sage Is accom-
panied by great wealth, but neither hon
ors nor love go with him.
