against him in an American court. They
have learned by bitter experience that
such testimony would cost them their
life. There was a time when the powerful
companies in control of affairs in the
Chinese colonies settled all disputes. Now
the six companies are less powerful than
the highbinders for even the representa-
tiVes of the companies have been made
to tremble by this organized band Of
criminals.
There is one man, however. who is
known to every Chinaman in this coun-
try and who is sincerely feared and hated
by every hlghbinder. That man is Police
Lieutenant William Price of San Fran
cisco. For more than ten years he has
wased a ceaseless warfare against the
criminal organizations of the local
Chinatown, and today he is regarded as
something more than a mere mortal. To
those whose illegal acts have made them
his enemies he is the white Devil' and
daily they pray that he may die. They
have tried to make way with him but
they have failed and so they believe that
he is m~iraculously protected. They know
that he is absolutely fearless and that he
is a man of his world, and they are un-
able to count all the convictions that
have been due to his efforts. 1t is for
this reason that the name of t he white
Devil is known as far from California
as New York or Boston, but when one
remembers that even he. with all his
knowledge of the people and his eXper-
fence in the colony. has been unable to
suppress the gambling or ever to friehten
these criminals out of their murderous
instincts one can but ask what possible
lance the New York or Boston police
would have in contending with such a
perfect system of organized crime as
that of the highbinders?

When the sporting history of the nine
teenth century is written the racing of
horses and the racing IF bicycles will be
set down as two OF the great achieve
ments. for during the century that is
now drawing to a close they have become
the great sports to delight the hearts of
lovers of contests of speed. Now that
the end of the century is approaching,
however, the glory of these modes Of
racing IS passing, for the race of the
ance on the part of either mar or horse.
1t is to be between automobiles INT
motor cycles. to win which will require
perfection of workmanship as well as
skill and endurance on the part of the
operator, SO that the races of the future
will no longer be mere exhibitions of
brute force, but rather a brilliant com
blnation of mind and matter. What in
@novations are to be made in other
branches of athletic sport time alone can
the pastimes of the twentieth century
must be admitted by all who ave fol-
lowed the course OF modern invention.
Already there is every reason to be-
lieVe that the twentieth century is to be
inaugurated by a brilliant international
long distance race, in which the auto
mobiles Of every country will fight for
supremacy, and there is little doubt that
the achievements along the line of motor
cycles will be of sufficient Importance to
assure some wonderful races, in which
these marvellous machines participate be-
fore the first year of the new century
has closed. Long ago those who became
acquainted with the principles of what
is now known as the "infernal machine.
We're satisfied that the invention when
perfected might be made to accomplish
great results. Confident as they were of
the ultimate results, however, few i'm
agined tina such a short time would
elapse before the invention would be
brought to a state of comparative per-
fiction, but TO- that this has been ac-
complished they are just rs positive that
the entire system of bicycle racing the
world over is to be revolutionized within
the next few years.
While this is very plain to those who
seen the ''infernal machine at
work. others who have not witnessed the
operations Of NJ. Dion-Bouton's instru-
ment cannot realize the extent of the
work that has been accomplished. I'M

Brockton's prosperity is so closely al
lied to the prosperity of the shoe indus
try that It will, no doubt, prove a matter
of interest TO large number of people to
learn the actual average earning capacity
of each individual employed in the maxi
Ing of the world-famed Brockton shoe.

w. L. Douglas Shoe company the pay
roll for the week ending Sept. 30. exclud-
ing superintendent, foremen, statesmen,
and all clerical help. shows the average
earnings of the employees, large and
small TO be S15.54 per week. This was not
an extraordinary week. 1t was the GUS
tomary pay roll.
The amount earned per week. however.
does not always tell the story of pros
perity The number of weeks employed
each year Is the determining factor in the
wage earners' prosperity. The Douglas
factory has been closed but one week
this year, and that for the usual summer
stock taking, and IL will be closed but
This would make but nine days out OF
the year that the factory is closed, which
is surely as steady work as the most in
duStrious shoemaker could desire.
1t is believed that the average pay and
the number of days worked Is larger at
the factory of the w. L.. Douglas Shoe
company than at any manufacturing in
Stitution in Massachusetts,.
Owing to increased business, another
addition is to be made to the Douglas
factory. 1t will be 100 feet long, 40 feet
wide, and five stories high. It will be
ready for occupancy early in December
This addition increases the capacity Is

successful business for Brockton manu-
facturers was never so good as now, and
that collections are better than for years.

When a Leopard Invades Town in

Amrita Bazaar Patrika: About 4 a.
m. to-day a Gurkha soldier, who was
bathing in a tank on the outskirts OF
the city of Gorakphur, was suddenly
attacked from behind. Thinking his
assailant was pig he (gosh Ike lalach
Sc as a Hindustani official loftily put
it, grappled with it and both rolled
over into the tank, where they had a
bit of rough and tumble. The assail-
ant turned out to be large leopard.
He left the Gurkha something to re-
member him by in the shape of num-
Der of claw marks, and then proceeded
to invade the city, attacking and
wounding a number OF persons on the
way. He finally took up his position
in a Kumbar house. situated in the
heart of one OF the bazaars, quite close
to the principal octroi post, the Collar.
Intimation of his presence was at once
sent to Mr.. Innes, the d. s. p, and to
Mr.. w. Calnao, the collector. The

a regular posse of other sahibs assem-
bled. Mr.. Calnan and Mr.. lnnes got
on the roof of the house where the ami
NAL was, and, by pulling off the tiles
and poking the animal with long
pole, succeeded in shooting him. He
turned out to be fine male leopard, in
most sleek condition, and measuring
seven feet three inches. During his
brief career in the city he had injured
no less than eleven persons, some Of
them very severely indeed. The lives
of two men are despaired of; one of
them had, among other wounds, his ell
bow crushed from bite. Two men
had their eyes dislocated. A few wo-
men were badly scratched all over the
body. The good folk of Gorakphur
were all keenly interested in the oc-
currence. Hundreds of them visited
Mr.. Innes' compound to inspect the
carcass, and large numbers also went
to the hospital to inspect the wounded.

simple, country doctor, and practiclng
erts received scanty attention from the
scientists. 1t was absurd to expect him
to succeed when much greater men had
failed. Like many another man VINO
has solved some immense problem in
an humble way, while hundreds of dis
tinguished scholars confessed them
selves baffied, he was called crank.
Even his patients who had faith in his
pills and other prescriptions were at
first unwilling to have the goat $
lymph tried on them, and the good doc
tor had hard time finding subjects.
He got few apparently hopeless
cases, however, and before long the
people of Greene City began to notice
marked change in the condition OF
some patients who had hitherto been
pronounced incurable. Men and wom-
en- bowed and bent with rheumatic af-
fiictions grew spry and active; several
cases of locomotor ataxia, for which
physicians declared there was no help,
were greatly benefited, and long list
of other diseases were radically cured.
The most notable effects were obtained
in people of old age, who seemed to be
rejaVenated and endowed with new
lease of life. At last, with ample evil
denee of the merit of the lymph treat
ment all about him in his own home,
and presented in manner which could
not be challenged, DR.. Roberts sud
denly became a man of Importance in
the medical world.
Patients fiocked to DR.. Roberts
home at Greene City in large numbers,
and his fame spread all over the
world. Then came demand from the
medical profession for the formula of
the lymph, and DR.. Roberts at once
made it public. He did more than
this. He invited physicians to come
to his Missouri home and study the
treatment so they might use it in their
general practice. Among those who
went were number of Chicago men,
including DR.. Joseph r. Hawley, pro-
fessor of physical diagnosis in the Chi
cago Clinical school, and DR.. Hartwell
of st. Louis.
Like most of their fellow practition-
ers, Drs Hawley and Hartwell went to
Greene City as doubters, feeling it was
another trip after will-o'-the- wisp
such as the medical fraternity have
been making at periods for many
years. After a close investigation,
however, they came back thorough
converts to the new treatment. They
investigated the entire process care
fully, talked with patients who had
been cured, obtained evidence that
over 500 people had been treated with
out single failure, and then said:
DIR. Roberts, you owe it to the medi-
cal fraternity and to humanity to
transfer your headquarters to some
larger and more central point where
you can reach more physicians. There
are lots of doctors who cannot afford
the expense of trip to Missouri to
study your treatment; there are thou
sands of sick people in similar plight
Dr. Roberts did not hesitate. He had
made his formula public when by re-
tanning the secret he might have made
millions of dollars. His first intention
was to locate laboratory in ST. Louis,
but it was finally decided tos establish
it at 1907 Prairie avenue, Chicago, with
a branch in st. Louis under the direc-
tion Of DR.. Hartwell, at Vandeventer
and Washington avenues Distin-

LIFE ON ISLAND OF ST. HELENA
Inhabitants Happy and Contented and
Crime Almost Unknown.

Inhabitants Happy and Contented and
Crime Almost Unknown.
From the New York Times: Few
people ever think of st. Helena except
as rock in the sea on which Napoleon
lived while miserably and then more
mlserably died. That the greatest of
anti-climaxes was not the end of the
little islands history is hard to realize
possibly because a poet or romancer
would have made it the end. and {.
continuation is therefore more or less
unnatural and absurd. Be that as 1t
may, st. Helena has remained the abid-
ing place of ordinary human beings
who concern themselves very little
about the colossal ghost generally sup
posed to be the islands only inhabi-
tant, and the report to the English
government just made by their gov
ernor shows that they have joys and
sorrows exactly like those OF the folks
dwelling in places less tragically IA
nous. For instance, the revenues of
the island last year were e9,152, de-
cidedly comfortable sum, but alas! the
expenditures amounted to E12,349, and
that Is an excess of outgo not comfort
able at all. The governor says, how
ever, that the bad balance was due to
some extraordinary drains upon the
islands resources, and that he antici-
pates substantial surplus for the cur
rent year. A recent increase of the
garrison and extensive improvements
now making by the colonial and i'm
perial authorities assure the imme-
date prosperity of the islanders. st.
Helena has no public debt, but is pay
ing off by small annual installments
Misunderstanding grant of $4,000
made by parliament in 1871. The i'm
ports, chiefly foodstuffs and building
materials, amounted last year to 962,-
9S5, and the exports, almost wholly po-
tatoes to E4,391. Lacemaking has been
introduced among the girls OF the is
land with great success, and the gov
ernor is experimenting with the manu-
facture of brick and tile. The whal-
ers have now entirely deserted St.
Helena, the few ships engaged in that
industry keeping far to the north or
south. The total population of the is
land is 4,543. The governor hopes that
winter visitors from England may be
tempted by the salubrity of the eli
mate to try st. Helena, which is SUI
perior, he says. in some respects to that
of Madeira and the Canary islands. He
says the people as a whole compare
favorably with the English agricul-
tural population; with few exceptions
all can read and write, and the lam
guage is spoken with greater purity
than in many districts at home. AS
rule, the people are happy and con-
tented, with little crime among them
and much kindness in helping each
other. Strangers are greatly impressed
with the general civility shown by
them to old and young.

Missouri Physician Called to Europe to
Explain Goat Lymph Insanity Cure.

In response to invitations from
prominent physicians and scientists in
Paris and Berlin, DR.. B. F. Roberts.
formerly of Greene City, Mo-, has gone
to Europe to explain his discoveries N
animal therapy and to demonstrate the
value of the goats lymph treatment.
There is no secret or patent or cop!
right on the lymph. The formula has
been given to the medical profession,
and DIR. Roberts main work now IS the
instruction OF physicians in its use.
This Is the remedy which effected the
sensational cure in the case OF Irwin
Fuller Bush of Joliet, Ill Mr.. Bush
is wealthy man, who seven months
ago was committed to an asylum as
hopelessly insane. After all other
known methods of treatment had been
exhausted the goats lymph was used,
and today Mr.. Bush is attending to his
business affairs and is apparently as
sound and perfect mentally as any ran
in the country.
Previous to this the lymph had re-

1t in his general practice with crafty
Ing results. It's newspaper notoriety
has been attained by the cure in the
Bush case, and it is has therefore come
to be regarded as a specific for in
sanity. Medical men say this is an
error. The goats lymph is not a spe
cific or panacea or a cure-all either
in insanity or any other form of dis
ease, and no such claims are made for
1t by the discoverer or any of the repu
table doctors who use it. It's principal
value is as a revitalizer, a restorer of
lost functions due to advanced age,
and in number of annoying ailments,
such as rheumatism, locomotor ataxia,

Wedding supper In Cairo.

After a Mohammedan wedding the
bridegroom sees the face OF his I'M
known bride for the first time in her
apartment. AS he enters the bride sa-
lutes him by kissing his hand. Her
head is covered by veil, which he re-
moves, at the same time presenting
jewels TO her which are termed the
price of the uncovering of the face. y
He then spreads the veil on the floor
and kneels on it while he says a pray

ing on its edge behind him. At the
close of the prayer they seat them
selves on a divsn, and an old attend
ant shows them in a mirror the re-

is eaten by the happy pair alone, but
not until the bride, after every de-
vice known to the bridegroom is used,
can be induced to speak. Once she ut

per is brought to them. Meat is not
used at this meal because OF belief
that 1t would lead TO future bicker-
ings between them. Eggs, sweets and

moral which opponents of capital pun

quick to repeat: Thus. after all, per-
haps it is fortunate that capital pun

otherwise Lucheni, with the bravado
of his kind, would have gone under

crying, 'Vive rAnarchie.' and his
brethren would have been spared the

A Romance OF the Peeras..

The death of Lord Dunboyne recalls
one OF the romances of the peerage.
The twelfth Lord Dunboyne was Ro-
man Catholic, bishop of Cork. when the
peerage Unexpectedly develyed upon
him through the death of a nephew.
Wishing to perpetuats the family and
the title, he applied to Pope Plus vi.
for dispensation TO retire from the
episcopate and to marry. The reply he
got from the vatican was eouched in
the severest terms Of osnsure. He
thereupon broke his VOW OF celibacy
and married Protestant young lady,
afterwards publicly seeding from the
Roman Catholic church There was,
however, no issue to the marriage, and
shortly before his death, he was re-
ceived back into the Roman Catholic
church by the Rev. DIR. Gahan. The
widow of the ex-bishop survived him
for sixty years, dying in August, 1860,
at the great age of SO.
