REPORTER HOLDS COUNT IN CHINA
His Burlesque Trial of Thirteen China
men Accused Of Murder.

During the negotiations tween Ger

tory on the part of the latter and the
appointment of a commission to take
testimony in the cas- of the murdered
German missionaries. Eugene Wolf, cor
respondent of the B~erliner Tageblatt. was
travelling through the Celestial empire.
He managed TO get some facts in re-
gard to the massacre, n proceeded
south to the province OF Chan-Toung.
When he reached Eschu ia he called
upon the German provicar. or CHIEF OF
the missionaries, Pastor Freydane-
metz, who gave him all the details. The
correspondent. assuming an air OF au-
thority, told him that he was charged
by the German government to clear up
the AFFAIR. The provicar said that the
local authorities had arrested IL China
men, and that he was not sure that
among them there was a single one
really implicated in the massacre
T~hereupon Mr.. Wolf took IL into his
head TO improvise a court n 10 try

chair.
According to a letter sent to the Ger
mania by Pastor Stenz of the Congre-
cation Of the Divine Word. in the prov
ince Of Chan-Toung. the mandarin
asked Mr.. Wolf for his credentials. But
the journalist. knowing perfectly well
the sort OF man he had to deal with.
simply exhibited a folded paper. and In
q tone which tolerated nc reply, ordered
the court to be opened inc the accused
to be summoned to the bar. The pro-
ceedings commenced. and the following
cording to Pastor Stem:
Mr.. Wolf to the Mandarin-Say, old
fellow. I have come here to find out how
you are getting along with this case.
The ambassador is very angry with
you. He heard that you were a very
learned man, and consequently had
great hopes of you. He gave me the
names of the real assassins. and nov
he wants you to nave them arrested as
tina the accused parties are absolutely
innocent.
Mandarin-That is not possible. They
have admitted their guilt. Guilty or not,
they will be executed.
Mr.. wolf-Not by a jugful. old fellow.
II they are innocent they must be dis
charged.
The prisoners when brought before
the bar presented a pitiable appearance
with their dirty clothes. the chains that
were gnawing their limbs and the evil
dence Of the fortunes which had been in
ficted upon them to force q confession.
Mr.. Wolf, during their examination
learned through the interpreter tina
debtors or creditors had denounced
some Of them from motives OF venge-
ance, while the others had been arrest
ed merely to please the German govern
ment. II did not require a very long
examination by Mr.. Wolf to convince
him hat there was no case whatever
against the prisoners. Not only were
the unfortunate men innocent, but they
had not even heard or the assassina-
tions for which they were about TO De
beheaded.
The journalist listened with paternal
solicitude to their protestations OF inno-
cence and at the end Of each ones story
said:

How They stand IN Climate and Man

II may be interesting to note how
English people live in India. Those that
have been used to a climate like ours
cannot, without great danger and sac
riace. live as the natives do. so they
adopt a style that prudence and expert
ence have suggested as best suited 10
the conditions that exist there.
In nearly all the large cities the houses
Of the Europeans are found in the su-
burbs. surrounded by large plots OF
ground, often four or five acres In ex-
tent. Thus the noisome smells OF the
thlckly crowded native city are In a
measure avoided, and n is shut out
from the peculiar noises and cries ana
drumming of oriental instruments OF
music, and the clouds of dust that con-
~tinually swell up from the great cities.
The houses occupied by the Europeans
are usually built on a plan that VIII
allow of lofty rooms and ample ventila-
tion. They are only one story mig anu
have a large veranda across the 'front.'
and rear. Thus the hot sun is kept out
and free circulation is allowed. Inc
kitchen is a small house, all by ITSELF
at one side of the dwelling house. or IN
the rear.
Owing TO the extreme heat, white wo-
men cannot possibly do their own work.
The climate Is such that manual work
is simply out OF the question. Servants
are easily obtainable. and with their as

managing them, living in that country is
not only tolerable but even pleasant.
Servants will work indefinite hours
