Aug. s, 1s9S.-The official order assigning
the First New Jersey Regiment to. General
Wade's division intended for the occupa-

Colonel Campbell. 1t was brought by a
messenger from brigade headquarters and
was at once made public. The men heard
the news and manifested their enthusiasm
by throwing up their hats. Blank cart
ridges were fired, and for an hour the
men exercised their lungs by yelling and
singing. The order is identical with the
one published on Wednesday over the Sig

however, gives no details of the proposed
movement, nor does it name any time at
which the regiments designated shall
start. Similar orders were received by
the Fourth Missouri, First Connecticut
and Third Virginia, ordering the Colonels
to report to General Wade in Washington
for Instructions.
While them men of the regiments named
in the order are confident that they will
be on the way to Porto Rico In a short
time, the impression prevails among the
higher officials at Camp Alger that the
expedition will not start for several
weeks, if it goes at all.

THE WOMEN OF CHINA.
They Would Look Upon a White Table
Cloth With Horror.

From the Philadelphia Press.
The empress of China is described as be-
ing in her sixty-fourth year. Without hav-
ing lost her love of power 1t is difficult
to credit the Chinese women with love
of power" when for years we have been
accustomed to thinking of them as doll-like
creatures, hampered by their tiny feet
The Chinese women have wardrobes of
beautifully embroidered silk and satin
robes, lined sometimes with softest and
richest fur. Even the peasant women wear
ornamental garmens-brght colored tunfcs,
such as blue ones over red trousers, or
light blue over trousers of pink
The most gorgeous costumes are to be
seen at the theatrical performances, which
play an important part in religious rites.
The Chinese ladies spare no pains in array
ing themselves at such times, ornamented
with many pearls and much jewelry, often
going so far as wearing two sets of ear
rings at one time. Their hair is wonderfully
dressed and heavily gummed, and decorated
with all manner of gaudy artificial flowers,
while their cheeks and lips are profusely
covered with rouge.
The average height of a Chinese woman
Is about feet inches. but in their trous-
ers and tun cs, which are the most COM
mon article of female dress, they look even
supersttious, particularly the lower classes
and men and women alike emuch given
to gambling. 1t is no common thing to see
a woman burning joss st cks and offering
up petitions and prayers for good luck to
attend her gambling speculations to Flu
Tt, the God of Earth. who is believed by
the lower class to favor all gambling.
Before Chinese woman Is married she
sends with great pomp and state to her
future home her entire trousseau, which IS
packed in large boxes, the keys of which
she brings with her when she comes, and
on no account Is the bridegroom ever sup
posed to be allowed to see what is con-
tanned in these precious trunks until after
the wedding is over, when they are shown
to him with much pride and ceremony.
In a number of ways the Chinese differ
totally in custom from Europeans and
Americans. For instance, it is considered
the greatest mark of disrespect to remove
ones hat in company; and the greatest
compliment it is possible to pay Chinese
man or woman Is to tell them they look
older than they are. Again, no Chinese man
or woman would on any account, ever
dream of eating off a white cloth. looking
upon 1t with great horror and supersttiors.
distaste, much in the same manner we
would regard a winding sheet.

the Prophets words Indeed the rels ions
again that 1t is hardly ever done.
In abstinence from drinking to excess the
whole Egyptian nation stands head and
shoulders above u.s. The hospitality Of the
sheikhs, or village headmen, Is boundless,
and takes the shapes Of feasts at which
Athelstane might have presided and Cedric
been entertained, and both found them
selves at home.
We have seen men sit down to banquet
of twenty-one heavy courses, where huge
turkey was the seventeenth course, and the
first course alone consisted of a whole
that chicken, then a pigeon and finally an
egg, which last was presented to the princi-
pal guest, as containing the essence of all.
The weakest point of the Egyptians ar

idea of what fair play means. An Egypt
Ian effendi or man Of the upper classes,
told me of great satisfaction of duel one
OF his countrymen had with an Italian. in
which the Egyptian chose clubs as the
weapon to fight with, and then disabled the
right hand of the italian by a sudden blow
before the duel began. He actually could
see nothing to blame n his countryman. but
rather commended his promptness In ac-
ton.
On the other hand recent events in the
Soudan have showed that the Egyptian
makes a good fighting man, provided he
has faith in his officers and is not called
upon to act for himself He cannot take
the initiative.

THE EGYPTIAN AT HOME.
In Hospitality and Politeness He Stands
Eminent.

From Pearson's Weekly.
The Egyptian of today may easily be sur
passed in honesty, courage and the manlier
virtures yet in hosp tally and polteness
he stands eminent. No Egyptian sits
down to meal without asking all pass
ers-by to partake of it; during his thirty
days feast every year his door are open
to all. no introduction is needed; to the
poor he gives ungrudgingly.
Though allowed to have four wives, the
effendi is almost always a monogamist.
Marrying early he is, as a rule. good
husband and father and fond and ind to
his children.
To show the direction in which the ideas
of marriage are setting, we may say that
one of the first teachers in Mohammedan
law in Egypt some tine ago laid down this
maxim, that the Prophet has allowed four
wives to any man who could engage to love
all four alike. but. as he had never met

there has been but one case OF convic-

where the criminal had been taught

avocation in life.
THE object of this home should be to
rightly develop and thus enable girls to

DIR. WURTH'S OPINION
OF THE NEW DISCOVERY IN MED
ICINE.
Remarkably Successful Remedy for
Dyspepsia, Indigestion and sto-
mach Troubles.

Dr. Wurth, in commenting on recent dis
coveries in medicine, said: There is none
which is certain to be so valuable and far
reaching in benefit as Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets. the new stomach remedy; l say
far-reaching, because people little realize
how important a sound stomach and v:g-
orous digestion is to every man. woman
and child.
Indigestion is the starting point OF con-
sumption, heart disease, Bright's disease
diabetes, nervous pros ration, liver troubles;
why is this so? Simply because every nerve,
muscle and tissue in our bodies is created
and nourished from the food we eat If the
food Is, by reason of a weak stomach
compelled to lie for hours, a sour torment
ing mass of half dlgested food, it poisons
the blood and nervous system, creates gas
which distends the stomach and bowels,
causing pressure on the heart, lungs ana
other organs, and seriously impeding their
action.
He says further the point to direct at
tention is not the nerves. nor heart, nor
lungs, nor kidneys, but the stomach the
first cause of all the mischief
The remedy to use for indigestion and
weak stomachs is not some cathartic, but
a remedy which will digest the food in
crease the flow of gastric juice, absorb the
gases, and Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets will
accomplish exactly this result in any case
OF stomach trouble, because these tablets
are composed of the digestive acids, aseptic
pepsin, Golden Seal and bismuth, pleasant
to taste, and not being patent medicine,
can be used by any one with perfect safety.
/ believe Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will
cure any form of indigestion and stomach
trouble except cancer OF stomach.
Full size packages Of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are sold by druggists at so cents,
or by mail from F. A. Stuart Co., Marshall,
Mich. A book on stomach diseases together
with thousands of testimonials will be sent
by addressing above. or call on your drug
gist for them. 12-7-11-19

TRACK MAY GO
Owner Proposes to Do
Away With Cyclomere.
Too Much Grief-Tales of Trouble
Track-Racing Controversy.

c. S. Desky said last evening that I'M
less he leased Cyclomere track in
very few days, he proposed to dump
the banks into the lake, take down the
fence and grand stand, pile some more
earth in the lake and sell as lots for
residences the land thus made Mr.
Desky seemed very much in earnest
when he gave out this statement Eff
fort will be made to dissuade him from
this purpose. 1t is more than likely
that at least two propositions to lease
the track will be made to the owner.
The man who expended 81 900 that
there might be cycling races here, has
enough of the game. He says he can
not tolerate the chickering's that are
brought about from time to time The
disputes growing out of the last two
evenings Of races have soured Mr.
Desky entirely He complains that the
heavy portion of the "wrangling" has
come to him, that he cannot stand it
and will not.
There is 10000 feet of lumber in that
grand stand and it cost complete over
"a 900. Since racing at Cyclomere be-
gan the cash prizes and the cost of
trophies has footed up to a total of ST.,
700. Contingent and incidental eXpen-
ses have been very heavy. 1t cost $500
in cash to bring down the pioneer party
Of professionals from the Coast. On
the other hand, the public has been lib
eral in patronizing Cyclomere. There
have been gathered for the evening
| races the largest crowds ever seem in
Honolulu for a pay entertainment
The owner does not say that he has
lost money, but only remarks that the
| grief incident to listening to tales of
troubles on racing has become too
much of an interference with other
| business matters. Mr.. Desky says he
was advised against building the track,
| both here and on the Coast but wanted
| to carry out the plan, and did not i'm
agine that CyclOmere could possibly
| become such a wearing care upon him.
| AS the public we'll knows, the latest
| Cyclomere sensation or controversy, is
| about the finals of the two-thirds of a
mile amateur race on Saturday evening
last. Tom King won, but was disquali-
| fled by the referee because the official
held that King had not done his share
of pacing" or leading before the finish
Fred Damon, who finished second, was
| given the first prize. King protested
and announced that all his racing men
and wheels would remain off the track
till he had satisfaction. Yesterday
King made a written protest against
! the decision of the referee This was
met by Mr. Desky with the proposal to
have the verdict of the referee review
ed by five men agreeable to King and
| Damon. King accedes to this, but Da-
mon so far urges that the decision of
the referee, under the rules of the
track, is final. Four of the men sug-
gested for the board of arbitration are
Geo. r. Carter, Maj J. w. Jones, Maj.
G. J. Mccarthy and Jas. L. Torbert.
The whole matter will be further con-
sidered today.
