In Eddie Poole, Louisville has draft
ed an Inter-stater who is destined for a
trip all the way up the ladder OF base
ball fame. His worth as a pitcher was
demonstrated by his record with the
sixth-place wheellngs of 90; he won
eighteen and lost sixteen games, and
this In the face Of the fact that no 9TH
er twirler In the league was so over
worked. For weeks he was the only
pitcher on the stan who could be de-
pended upon to pitch anything ap-
preaching winning ball. and the man.
agement made the most Of him. And
while he willingly submitted to this
policy of the club he was also playing
third base, short field, second base,
FIRST base and all the outfeld positions,
being worked in whenever member of
the regular team was temporarily out
OF play. And he was a star ut all
points OF play. Particularly was his
third base play sensational; the local
fans insist they never witnessed any

The two men with the camp-kettle
came up. The delicious fragrance was al
most overpowering to 81 and Shorty, and
they looked as if they would rush in and
seize the kettle and drink it empty, no
matter what might be said or done. The
Surgeon apprehended this, and placed
himself between them and the kettle.
Now let me have nine tin-cups," he
said.
These were at once forthcoming. The
Surgeon carefully measured out in each
cup an allowance for every man, accord
ing to his condition, giving 81, Shorty and
the engineer each nearly q full cup.

PE-KING really consists of four cities,
center of the whole is the Purple Forbid
den City, which is surrounded by a strong
wall, two and a quarter miles in circuit,
incIosing the palaces of the Emperor, EN-
press, and members of the Imperial family,
reception halls, etc. Among these is the
Palace of Heavenly Purity, where the
the transaction of business. Surround
ing the Forbidden City is the Imperial or
August City. which is miles in circuit,
and surrounded by wall 30 feet high.
This has Il number of large temples, stat
ues, etc. Outside of the August City is
the General City. in which are the halls
for the examination Of candidates, the
Palace of Everlasting Harmony, which
shelters more than 1000 monks. gigantic
statues of Buddha and Confucius. the
headquarters of the Gencral-in- Chief. the
Russian and British Legations, the Great
Drum and BELL Towers, and the splendid
Roman Catholic Cathedral. The forego
ing three cities constitute what is usually
called the Tartar or Manchurian City, in
which are few Chinese. Outside still is
the Chinese or Outer City, in which the
Chinese live. The Tartar or Manchu City
is inclosed by a stupcndous wall 30 feet
high, 60 feet wide at the bottom, and 40 at
the top. The wall around the Chinese
City is 80 feet high and from - TO - feet
thick. Entrance is gained by 16 gates.
| Over each of these is a tower 100 feet
high. The estimates of the population OF
Pe-King vary all the way from 100000
to 100000.

At last we have something unquestion-
able from Picking and it is that the Min
listers were alive as late as July 22. The
British Minister'S dispatch says that an at
tack was sustained from June 20 to July
IL, when the Chinese, having failed to re-
duce the Legations, a truce was made.
This does not seem to agree with his re-
port of the death of two men who were
killed July 81. This raises another i'm
portant question: Will the Chinese Coy.
ernment hold the Minister'S and their fam.
lilies as hostages to prevent a forward
movement of the allied army? 1t has been
asserted that it would, and such would be
in accordance with Chinese policy. But
if the Chinese Government still exists
and is able to assert itself, it can be
brought to time by the stern admonitiou
that any such course will be terribly hurt
full as an aggravation of past offenses. and
justification for its destruction by til,
po'Ters. In other words, the Chinese
Government itself is a hostage for the
proper treatment of the Ministers. and the
prompt restoration of free communication
between them and their Governments.
The National tribune., 1900-08-02

IT MUST be kept in mind that the real
Chinaman has no fight in him. He never
had any military instincts, and whatever
warlike tendencies he may have had were
carefully repressed and educated out of
him by his Manchu conquerors. who have
had him under their mailed fists since
1644-25G years. Then a small force of
the Tartar nomads conquered the whole
country, and have since held il. What
ever fighting has been done has been by
men of this blood, who compose the ar
mics, to which no Chinaman is admir-.
ted, either as soldier or an officer. The
Manchus or Tartars are of the same
blood as the ruling caste in the Turkish
Empire. They are nsturally fighters, and
in spite of their antiquafcd weapons and
ridiculous tactics may make some trouble
for the invading armies. But from the
fact that Japan. who knows them best.

THE most puzzling thing to eyerybod.

THE most puzzling thing to everybody
is the impossibility Of gstting any news
from Pekin. The mmensity of the mob
surrounding and i'll possession of the city
would ordinarily be no impediment. The
heterogeneous character Of mobs usually
makes it far easier to get spies. scouts
and messengers through them than
through organized armies. Again, China
man will do anything for money, and it
would seem a very facile matter to have
to the outside world. One would think
that the Consuls and the Generals would
have daily relays of runners entering into
and coming out Of Pekin, with full in
| formation as to everything happening in
side the walls. There must be some strong
| reason not yet developed why this is not
done.

THE Presbyterians have the largest
force in China of any single Protestant
denomination. The center of all Chris
tian work is Shanghai. The Protestant
denominations claim altogether 100000
converts; the Roman Catholics 100000
The Roman Catholics have divided the
Empire up into districts, with each under
charge of some order-one under the
Franciscans, second under the Jesuits,
the third under the Dominicans, the
fourth the Augustinians, the fifth the
Lazarists. These latter have been oper-
ating in the provinces now in disturbance,
aud have consequently suffered terribly.

Ii Is deeply significant of the differ
cnce in social systems the way Willie
Waldorf Astor has come to grief in En-
gland. Here society" is purely volun-
tary association, and therefore shapeless
and indefinite. In every town and city
sets of men and women form on any basis
that they please. and admit into or reject
from their circle other men and women
according to the standard that they may
adopt. In some the standard is birth and
breeding. in others education and occupa-
ton, and in others wealth. and a certain
style of living, taste in amusements, etc.
In New York. for example, Mr.. Astor,
with his immense fortune and several gen.
erationS of descent from the shrewd old
German peasant who accumulated great
wealth. was leader in that special rich
set which is mainly composed of the de-
scendants of the thrifty Dutchmen who
settled early on Manhattan Island, ard
held on to their farms. The set. which is
not the society" of New York. but only
Il part of il. is not at all notable for iu-
tcllcctual ability, morality. force of char
lcter, culture. or any of the other usually
valued qualities. but merely for luxurious
living and display. One never hears of Il
member OF II ulSliuSiilSHlElS himself IN any
line of effort. He is only heard of as Civ
ing bali, or owning yacht, or driving
Il four-in-hand. y group of people of
really less consequence to the country
than New York's Four Hundred can
hardly be mentioned. The whole lot of
them could be suddenly shunted off to the
moon without making ripple of disturb
ance in the country's commerce. manufae-
turing, politics. professional life, science
literature, soldiership, music, art, or
amusementS. Mr.. Astor ignorantly
thought that English society was built On
the same lines. and that his millions would
nj once give him the same place in it that
he had in the -Four Hundred of New
York But with all its many faults, Eng
lish society makes at least 4 pretenSe of
representing all the best in the country.
A man must have far more than wealth
to gain admission to it. Moreover, il has
what all the different sets and circles
which constitute society" in this coun-
try Iack-a definite head. which lays down
its laws and enforce; them with unflinch-
ing rigOr That head is the Queen of
Wales. Mr.. Astor tried to make such Il
line as he would apply i'll New York. and
turn down a man who did not happen to
have the requisite number of millions. but
who did happen to belong to an old fam
lily. and be a distinguished officer in Her
Majesty's service, and the Prince of Wales
promptly turned Mr.. Astor down. This
means his social accommodation, i'll
spite of all that he has done to get in 10
the privileged circle.

INCREASE IN PENSION ALLOWANCES.


Our report this week viii show o most
gratifying increase In the number of pen
sion allowances. The total number of
original allowances was S06, of increase
and additional Col, and of all allowances
] ,134. Last year at this time the total
number of original allowances was 800,
and of all G52 There has therefore been
more than doubling of the work done at
a corresponding period last year. While
this sustains the contention that we have
always made that the number of allow
ances depends wholly upon the will of the
Commissioner, and his views as to how
much he ought to save to the Government,
and not upon the amount of proof the
claimants furnished, or upon the capacity
of the clerical force of the Bureau to turn
out work. we are not disposed 10 be ungra-
cious. We welcome any Improvement in
the conditions in the Pension Bureau,
without too nice questionings as to the
wherefore.
All that we want is that the laws be
be carried out, and that the veterans and
their widows be given that which is their
right. and which they are entitled TO have
quickly. Anything that looks TO this con-
summation has our heartirst approval. and
everything else is subordinate thereto.

THERE is the least surprise that the
King of Italy has fallen victim to al
Anarchist assassin. Though King Hum
bert was one of the most popular mon
archs in Europe-probably more popular
than any other, except the aged Emperor
Francis Joseph, of Austria-yct there has
been more discomfort, anarchy and social
ism in Italy than in any other country,
and the character and ideas of large pOr-
tion OF the people are more favorable to
such crimes than anywhere else. I'm.
doubtcdly there is larger proportion of
very bad men in southern Italy than any
where else west of COnstantinople. Bri-
gandagc, banditism, and private aSsassi-
nation have always flourishcd there to an
extent not known in any other part of Eu-
rope Then the Kingdom of Italy is a
very recent creation-but 80 years old
and is an ambitious attempt to build up q
first-class power out of a congeric of dis
cordant little principalities, which had
been fighting one another for centuries.
The densely ignorant, turbulent people of
the south have not had time to get over
their long cherished hatreds and animosi-
ties against the more educated, orderly
and prosperous people of the north. The
country is very poor and is probably not
growing perceptibly richer, while it is try
ing to keep up National establishment on
the same scale with France, Germany and
Austria. Taxation is excessive, capable
administrators of the Government have
not yet developed. grieyOus blunders are
constantly made, many old-time abuses
stand unrcformed, and unquestionably the
people have many genuine grievances. All
these are fruitful of incitement to such a
crime Like the assassination of the Gar
Alexander. this crime is blow at the pro-
grcss of the country. 1t can not possibly
benefit anyone, and is a severe blow at the
prosperity and well-being of the whole
country. But it is crime in entire ac-
cordance with the methods and habits Of
thought of the southern Italians for any
number OF centuries.
