Hili's Generous Gift.

From Yesterdays Minneapolis Times.
James j. Hill has presented the Thirteenth
with $500. At the officers school last even
ing Col. Reeve announced that Mr.. Hill
had informed him during the day that such
an amount would be placed to the credit
of the Thirteenth at Hongkong. Mr.. Hill
remarked during the conversation that while
Uncle Sam was good paymaster at all times.
there would undoubtedly be occasions, while
the boys were away, when they might need a
little financial assistance. He was only too
glad to help them out to that extent. The
colonel stated that it was Mr.. Hills desire
that his name be kept secret. The gift cams
unsolicited. The news was received with ap-
plause.
The St. Paul Commercial club has SUBJ
scribed $1,000 for the benefit of the Thir-
tenth, the men being SO informed last night.
The Minneapolis city council last evening
voted $500 for the home regiment.
In ali, there is nearly $4,000 in the Thir-
teenth's treasury, and 1t is by all odds the
section.

In New York city municipal court suit
between two Cinnamon was pending, in
which one was to be witness. 1t was sus-
gested to the court that our oath was not
. considered binding and the justice ordered
the witness to be sworn on the Chinese oath.
The witness said he believed in Joss, the
Chinese god, and that he could take bind
ing oath upon spring chicken or rooster
which was to be killed by him at the time
the oath was administered.
AS the witness was called a rooster was
brought forward in, a bag, with his head
protrudlng through an opening The fowl s
head was laid on a board, and the witness,
with an ugly looking knife, cut off its head,
repeating, as he did so, in Chinese, an oath
which had been written on yellow paper. This
oath was in effect that, as the chicken had
suffered, and as it's blood had flowed So
might the witness suffer and his blood flow
if he did not tell the truth. The witness then
burned the yellow paper on which the oatn
had been written, and after it was reduced
to ashes he was ready to be questioned.

LONG TRIP OF A CABLEGRAM.

A message travels about ID, 600 miles under
sea and overland, and is passed from station
to station by more than a dozen operators al
most each one or them In a different coun-
try.
Just now. in consequence of the cutting of
the single telegraphic cable which connects
the Philippine islands with China, the news
from Manila must be carried to Hong Kong
by boat. The distance between Hong Kong
and Balinao. the cable station of the Philip
pines, is about 900 miles. Balinao Is thirty
miles from Manila.
From Hong Kong telegraphic news Is flashed
over second cable under the China sea to
Saigon; thence it goes to Singapore at the
end OF the Malay peninsula, where 1t is taken
up by another operator and sent on to Penang.
lts next objective point Is Madras, India,
whence 1t is sent overland across India to
Bombay. From Bombay a cable takes the
message under the Indian ocean to Alden

from Malta to Gibraltar.
