TO PROTECT THEIR FLAG
Chinese Awaken to the Dangers That
Threaten the Empire

SHANGHAI China, May 12.-After the
China-Japanese war several reform clubs
we're projected by influential Chinese look
ing toward the renovation of Chinese poll
ties. One of these societies was gathering
great power when 1t overshot the mark and
was summarly annihiated by the throne.
At the present date formidable organ
ization of progressive Chinese is being or
ganized throughout the Empire. 1t is to be
national organization with branches in
each city and town. In one sense it is pro-
gressive and in another it is retrogressive
Tho correspondent has reliable informal ton
from most prominent sources that the or
ganization has the patronage of the most
prominent men in the new China. The
hopeful feature. about this patriotic asso-
citation" is that its cardinal principle is the
preservation of the empire. Patriotism has
been almost defunct for years, and this is
an attempt to rouse the people. The re-
dictionary feature of the movement is it's
hatred of all things foreign. The new or
ganization was launched by the 10000 literati
assembled recently at Pekin for the exami-
nation for the Doctors degree. There are
20 articles and IS bylaws, and the preamble
Is as follows:
"This patriotic club is formed for the de-
Tense of the empire, in view of the fact that
our territory is daily sliced away, the pow
ers of the government daily circumscribed,
and the people are more oppressed" etc.
They are to protect the territory, the peo-
pie and the religion.
Each local club is to become the center of
a system of preaching"
This idea is copied bodily from the meth
DDS of the missionaries in spreading Chris
tianity. 1t is stipulated that the literati at
each point shall speak from texts relating
to the preservation of the state, the religion,
the people and the race"

A MANIA FOR SUICIDE
THE SAD CASE OF MRS. BROUGHT
OF SAN JACINT0
She Was Extremely Jealous Of Her
Husband, But Without
Cause

RIVERSIDE, June 13-Coroner Sher-
man, who went to the home of the
Broughts beyond San Jacinto on Saturday
to hold an inquest on the remains of Mrs
Brought, who committed suicide, returned
today, and he states that 1t was case OF
jealousy on the part of the unfortunate
woman. This was not the first time Mrs
Brought attempted her life. She did so not
long since, and if it had not been for the
timely interference of her husband would
have succeeded at that time in swallowing
deadly dose. The evidence at the coro-
ner's inquest showed that the woman had
been married three times, and that during
her married life had attempted suicide
three times, including the last successful
attempt. So far as the evidence showed.
the woman's jealousy was without cause,
merely the imaginations of diseased
brain. Mrs. Brought's son, Mr.. Fuller of
Pasadena, was atthe inquest, and he stated
to the coroner that his mother had mania
to take her life, and tht he felt sure that
she would do so at some time.

Mind Reading

The really extraordinary performances
of mind readers of celebrity astound ali
who witness them. Scientists cannot ex-
plain them; the experts themselves are
unable to say by what mental process they
arrive at conclusions and discover locations
almost invariably correct. Hamlet ex-
claims, '"rhere are more things in heaven
and earth, Horatfo, than are dreamt of in
thy philosophy" The wonderful feats
of the mind reader are strongly corrobora-
tive of this. But the reason of the bene-
fcent effects Of Hostetters Stomach Bit
tiers in cases of dyspepsia, malaria, rheu-
matism, biliousness, nervousness and kid
ney and bladder complaint, marvellous as
they are, does not require and will not
provoke investigation. We know that the
medicine does effect thorough cures in OBJ
stinate cases. that it does prevent the dis
eases to which 1t is adapted. Consequently
able and eminent men endorse it. Used
with persistency it will re-establish health.

Birds in the Cotes at Various Naval
Stations to Go Into Service

NEW YORK, June 13.-The war was ex-
pected to develop the usefulness of the
carrier pigeon service in communicating
with ships at sea and cotes at naval sta
tions, but so far the system does not seem
to have been made much of, or If so the
results obtained have not been satisfactory,
says the Washington correspondent of the
Tribune.
Some of the finest birds which have rec
ords abroad were secured by the government
several months ago from the famous pigeon
cotes in Germany and distributed among
the principal stations along the coast.
The most important of these stations is

of birds capable of keeping the patrol YES

been liberated by. officers of the regular
merchant steamers. The flight of bird
is at least 100 miles. although the navy de-
partment has a record of a bird that was
caught 500 miles out at sea from New York.
The pigeon was secured abroad for the gov
