WILLIE IN LOVE.

Having no kings, queens and TITLED
aristocracy to worry over, we cannot
help being interested in the doings OF
our moneyed nobility, says the New
York Press. Therefore, it is good gos.
sip that Willie X. Vanderbilt, the
Prince Hal of the steel highway, Is
paying his addresses to a certain ad-
mirable lady in Millionaires' Row. Some
say-"Obiect, matrimony;" others
maintain that he Is only philandering
At any rate he is seen occasionally in a
Broadway flower shop ordering punches
of superb red and white roses, which. in
the language of flowers signify unity
and baskets of moss rosebuds, mean
ing confession of love-"

THE TWENTIETH CENTURY.
DR.. S. E. Bishop Stands to His Guns
Again

EDITOR STAR:-This Twentieth
Century seems to be a topic of general
interest; so l will not apologize for ask
ing for little more space on the sub
ject. 1, the Pope, and the Emperor Will
liam are going to stand to our guns.
My good friend c. H. Dickey supposes
one Peter to have been born at the day
on which our Christian Era began, and
says when Peter was one year old he
had passed his first year, and was
about to enter his second year, the year
2 Now everyone knows that Peters
second year was his year 1, and not
the year 2. When a man is in his forty
first year, he is only forty years old and
not Al years. We all count that way
The trouble with Mr.. Dickey is that he
ignores the distinction between Cardi-
nal and Ordinal numbers.
When a man reaches his year 100, he
has finished his Tooth year, not begun
it. He is then and there a full century
old. When we reach the year of our
era 1900, we have finished nineteen CEN
turtles and have begun the twentieth
century. We are not beginning our
booth year, but have just ended it.
We all count our years in that way

The first dose will ease the
cough considerably while a
few more will cure it entirely.
Nothing nasty about this
cure that will make one stop
taking it, but on the other
hand it is a very agreeable
mixture, being pleasant to take,
curing in ashort time, while
others fail.

Mr.. Holloway has on his place. Miss Blake
wanted the horse for polo playing and cross
country riding She took ride on Monday
with Miss Marion Holloway, and on her return

If it proved to be a good jumper.
Miss Blake went to New-Rochelle again yes
terday afternoon TO take the horse over hurdles
She was accompanied by her uncle, James j.
Higgnson, a broker, of No. Nassau-st. Mr..
HolIoway's men took the horse from the pad
dock and let 1T to the field where the riding
began.
Miss Blake dashed about the field several
times and the horse went gracefully over the
hurdles She was delighted. and called to her
uncle and Mr. Holloway. who were watching
her, that she would make few more jumps
and then disrnount Then she galloped off for
another jump but the horse in making it caught
its hoof the top rail of the hurdle and
stumbled. Miss Blake, with scream fell head
long Mr.. Holloway and her uncle ran TO her
and found her bleeding on the ground. Her
neck was broken, and her chest had been
crushed so badly that blood was flowing from
her lungs Dr. E. H. Coddington was sent for
and pronounced her dead. The body was sent
to Boston last night
Mr.. Holloway told a reporter that the horse
was one of the finest on his place, and that the
hurdle over which it was leaping when the acct
dent occurred was not more than two feet high.
Miss Blake could not have been experienced
rider" said Mr.. Holloway. "or she would not
have fallen off. l supposed that she was a prac-
tised horsewoman, I would not have per
mitted her to go over the hurdles"
Miss Blake was about twenty-three years old
Two years ago she was graduated from college
at Holyoke with honors- Her father Samuel
Parkman Blake, is retired banker of Boston
and lives at No. 80 Brimmer-st., in that city.

MOVES were affected The workers in the other
factories assisted the strikers financially and Il

Wertheim & Schiller persuaded these firms TO close
down so that there would be a complete lockout
in the trade. This story. however denied by
the manufacturers. Herbs. Werthem g. Schiller
never shut down their factory but tried TO con-
tfnue business with nOn-union help.
Reports from the various factories that re-
opened Yesterday showed that few of the old hands
had returned to work. AT the headquarters of the
(,fparn1s xers' Union Il said that the employees
of fhe factories would not to work under any

RAILROAD INTERESTS.
A POSSIBLE VANDERBILT PURCHASE.
REPORT THAT THEY AND THE PENNSYLVANIA
WILL GET THE CHICAGO INDIANAP-
OILS AND LOUISVILLE

The report is current that the Vanderbilts and
the Pennsylvania company will buy the Chicago,
Indianapolis and Louisville Railroad, which is now
controlled by j. Pierpont Morgan. The statement is
made that the Vanderbilts are not disposed TO pur
chase this property for the Big Four, as has been
intimated. but that they would be willing to join
with the Pennsylvania in acquiring control IN
order to remove independent competitor from
the territory to which the Big Four and the Ches-
apeake and Ohio must look for traffic. The Big
Four, 1t is asserted does not need the Monon sys-
tenn, but the latter is rival for local trafic and
its purchase by the interests that dominate trunk
line territory would secure harmony in that sec
ton. just the joint purchase Of the Chesapeake
and Ohio assured harmony in it's territory.
j. =. Green. first vice-president of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad has been quoted saying that his
company has acquired all the railroad property
that II desires. 1t is stated, however, that Mr.
Green is not in position to speak for the Pennsyl
vania company controlling the lines west OF Pitts
burg. and men who understand the trunk line sit
uation thoroughly predict that some such arrange
ment referred 10 will eventually be made

CHINESE RICE AND THE BOXERS WAR

Since the French Admiral Courbet when lighting

clared that rice was contraband Of war some peo-
pie in Europe have thought that similar measure
should be applied in the present trouble. They saw
that In February, 1885, there were in the ports of
the Yang-tse River less than one hundred and
fifty steamers loading rice for the Pe-Chi-Ii
They add: THE mere announcement that this
staple would be seized. even under n neutral nse
suspended all shipments OF rice. and a few weeks
later the Chinese were compelled to sue for peace

RATE SITUATION SATISFACTORY.

H. H. Kingston, general traffic manager Of the
Lehigh Valley Railroad, speaking upon the rate
situation yesterday, said that it satisfactory
and that stories OF rate cutting emanated from
shippers who hoped thus TO obtain concessions "Ot
course he continued. the days of % cent rate
on wheat from Chicago gone forever. The
problem before railroad managers is how IN

maintain net earnings. This only be done IN,
increasing the train load. but in that direction I
think there is still a very wide margin. There Is
still quite too much dead weight In trains II must
be possible TO get that, while having as great
a capacity as the present cars. Will weigh only half
as much. Much has been done in that direcfion
already, but there is still room for a great deal
more"

These conclusions are not admitted by other Eu-

Tho Religion Of China.


Buddhism is the principal religious
faith of the Chinese. Long as this
religion has existed, it is little under
stood by Americans. Its founder,
Buddha. was born 623 years before the
Christian era. His theory of deity
embraced a trinity, known as the
Three Precious Ones. The moral code
Of the religion contains ten prohibi-
tons-killing. stealing, lying. selling
wine. charging interest on loans,
speaking false of others. self-praise
and back-biting, parsimony and SCOT

The Buddhist church in Thibet has
Its pope, its cardinals, its bishops,
priests and nuns. exactly as has the
Roman Catholic church. And more,
It has infant baptism, confirmation,
candles, sacred water and PROFESSIONS
The teachings of Buddha were re-
duced to writing 90 B. c.. The entire
canon of the faith was compiled in
A. D. 400. In this Buddha is described
as coming from heaven. being oorn of
a virgin, welcomed by angels, re-
ceived by an old saint, presented in a
temple, baptized with water and later
by fire. He is described as astonish-
ing the doctors with his understand
ing, was later led into wilderness,
where he was tempted by the devil.
and thereafter he went about doing
wonders and preaching. He was a
friend to the poor.
It seems doubtful when Buddhism
was introduced into China 1t is re-
corded. however, that in the year 63
A. D. the emperor. Han-Ming-Ti, had
a vision wherein he saw great gold
en- image around whose head was a
halo. and it was believed it meant
truth. The emperor's brother. Prince
Tsu. having heard of Buddhism from
India. said the vision was nothing but
the great Buddha. A mission was sent
forth. which returned after some years.

counterpart of the golden one. one

temple. is Mongol Buddhist monas-

acting priests. Here the dogmas of
