To Give n Cent Party.

A cent party is the latest idea for
Willing away an evening when a few
friends are met together. Here is the
recipe for one: Each guest was given a
card. Fastened to the card with rib
bons was cent with a hole in 1t, and
pencil. At the top of the cards, in
fancy letters, was painted, "a penny
for your thoughts Underneath this
were the names of fifteen objects which
can be found on a cent. The guest
who properly filed his card received
a prize of cent dipped in gold for a
watch charm. The ladies prize was a
hatpin on the same order. The fol-
lowing are the articles to be searched
for on the cent: /. An animal, hare. 2.
Serpent, copper head. 8. Southern fruit
date. 4. Emblem of royalty. crown. 5.
A spring flower. tulip. g. Part of an
ancient armor, shield. T. Another term
for matrimony. s. Part of hill, brow
9. Plenty of assurance, cheek. 10.
Found in school, pupil. IL. Ancient
place of worship. temple. -. Early
American settler, Indian. 13. Emblem
of victory, wreath. IA. Part of river

point OF view. in getting rid Of his
winnings at $3.50 limit. We played
until midnight, and the senator at last

as my share to $4,000. Said he. when
he gave me the money:
Martin, never played a card III
my life before this afternoon, and
will never play another one as long
as live. This money l will do some
thing with which shall not Immediate
ly benefit myself or my family
II visited st. Paul 20 years after tails
occurrence and met the senator True
to his word he had never touched a
card. and / learned from others who
got wind of the play in Washington
that the senator's winnings were ex-
pended in helping struggling young
fellows to get start in life, accom-
panied in every case by the condition
that they should never play in gam
ing house.
Il venture to cay that this is the
most remarkable case on record of a
mans unexpected and undesired large
winnings turning him against gamb-
ling and card playing and soaring him
almost to death. / was then so reek-
less with money that II made no sort
of difference to me whether l won "
lost $4,000, SO you can imagine how |
regarded the senator's squeamishness.
But you see he was right after all,
and he took the proper view of the
matter, for money which comes easy
in winning at faro, goes easy the
same way; in a week l had lost the
$4,000 an thought no more of it than
do now Of losing $40 bill"

TALE OF STARVATION.
Inhabitants Of Puerto Rico In
Desperate Straits.

New York n. Y, March -
Accompanying the report of Brig.
Gen. Davis, governor general OF
Puerto Rico. in regard to the
situation in the island, is a report
made by Capt. Il. S. Bishop Of the
9th cavalry, stationed at Mannti,
in winch he makes strong appeal
for food.
Capt. Bishop states that the
pressure for relief supplies is
greater today than it was before
the hurricane. Many of the large
farmers have cleared their farms,
or nearly so, and no longer employ
laborerS. As no rationS have been
issued in Atnado aud Arecibo,
Capt Bishop reports many per-
sons have drifted into the district
under his charge, and in places
they are bordering on starvation.
The sugar industry will give
employment to only q few leaving
the balance OF the poor class with
on, any occupation or means of
support. In some sections they
are beginning TO raise sweet pota-
toes, bat in ths center OF the island,
or the coffee district, there is
nothing for The poor to eat.
Bananas and plsntaiDs Will not
be ready for from two to four
months. II the rations are not
continued. Capt. Bisop states,
there is almost certain to ~ a.

CAPITOL OF ARIZONA.
A Beautiful Building Turned Over to
 the Commission.

The capitol of Arizona was on Satur- day turned over to the capitol site com mission by the contractor, Tom Lowell. and is now the property of the territory. MT. Lowell received the last insalment of his contract. $l17, ,290.2S, and left for his home in Texas.
 The first step toward the building of the capitol was an authorization by the 18th legislature of an appropriation of $l0O,0O0 for that purpose The 2Oth legislature added $3O, ,OOO to the appro. priation and though the building was then in outline, changes were made giving it greater sOlidity. This amount has been practically exhausted. Every dollar of it has gone honestly into the building, and so much has been given for the money that it is said that Mr. Lowell has worked nearly two years without profit.
 The style is one of the five classes of Ionic Grecian style of architecture. Its length is ls4 feet and it's depth is S4 feet. The height of the top of the dome from the ground is 76 feet The dome and the "well hOle." the latter surrounded on each floor by a handsome oaken bausl rade. is A feet in diameter. The building is construct as nearly as possible of Arizona material. The foundation is made of malpais, the walls of the first story of granite. and the rest of the walls of tufa. The structure is as nearly fire proof as it was possible to make it. The floor of the basement is of cement and though the other floors

are lumber they are laid upon cement and are as uninflammable as the cement. The corridors are paved with ornamen- tai timing, altogether 5000 square feet. The bases or ashboards," as they are sometimes called. of the walls in the corridors are marble. No wood. work is visible in the corridors except the doors and balustrades. The ceil- ings are extremely rich and ornamental. particularly those of the upper stories. There are numberless toilet-rooms and drinking fountains of handsome design. The Otis elevator compony is engaged in putting in a $60OO elevator.
 The building is not yet quite com plete. though all the work under the original contract has been finished. There is little painting and great deal of cleaning up 10 be done. The baustrades will have to be pnt on the iron s,arways and lighting appliances will have to be put in. Nocontract has been made for these yet. All of this work will not take up much time. So that the commission expects to have the building ready for occupancy by Sep tember l.
 Beautiful as the building is. it will appear much more so when the sur rounding grounds are graded and laid out. Mr. Smith. the gardener, sub mitted two elaborate plans to the com mission. and one of them was adopted. The work will not begin until later in the season. The building will of course have to he dedicated.

CHINESE JUSTICE.
The Prisoner Must First Confess Be-
fore He Can Be Punished
by Law.

June 27, at ten o'clock" says the
late Admiral John W. Philip in the
interesting passages from his diary
published in Frank Leslie's Popular
Monthly Il went down with 80 men to
attend meeting of the Chinese court.
The business to-day consisted in COM
pairing the English and Chinese records
of the case and making them agree.
They reeXamined the two leaders, who
are the Chung brothers, and occupied
nearly the whole day in trying by diff
ferent tortures to make these fellows
confess to their guilt. One proceeding
rather amused me, although it was
barbarous The leading mandarin had
asked one of these brothers several
questions, to which he would not an
swer to the satisfaction of the court, so
the mandarin wrote out the evidence
as he thought the criminal ought to
speak it, and then told him to acknowl-
edge that it was correct; and when the
poor fellow refused to comply with the
courts request, he was tortured until
he tainted in the courtroom and had to
be removed. BY the Chinese laws they
cannot punish person until he con-
fesses to everything. If the court
thinks the prisoner is telling lies they
torture him for the truth; or, if he
does not speak as they wish him to and
will not confess his guilt, they torture
him in the most cruel manner until he
does as they wish. AS soon as he con-
fesses, he is beheaded, frequently in
one hour. l was told in court that very
often a criminal would die under his
tortures rather than confess himself
guilty. These, 1 suppose, are rare
cases, where the man is really inno-
cent of the crime charged. l have seen
enough of Chinese Jurisprudence to
disgust me with it for the future"
The Winslow mail., 1900-11-22
CHINESE ANTIPATHIES.
They Are Based Upon Some Ancient
and Very Powerful
Causes.

1t should be remembered that the
antipathy of Chinese to foreigners
from the west has several very an
cient and very powerful causes, says
eX-Minister Angel in Atlantic.
Profound differences of belief and
of temperament separate the Asiatic
generally by wide chasm from the
Europeans. The golden age of the
former, all their ideals belong to the
remote past. Those of the latter be-
long to the future. Their economic
ideas are far apart. Inventions, ma
chinery, division of labor, belong to
the Europeans, and are repelled by
the Asiatics. Their religions touch
ing the deepest springs of life are dis
cordant. The western man regards
his civilization as so far superior to
that of the eastern man that he looks
down with a certain contempt on him,
a contempt which is cherished to the
full by the Tum for "infdel dogs" by
Brahmins Tor the conquerors of India,
by the Chinese for foreign devils"
But the Chinese have special griev-
ances; the opening of ports and the
imposition of obnoxious treaties on
them by force, the construction of
railways and telegraphs, and the
working of mines in such way as to
disturb the graves of ancestors, and
to interfere with the feng, shut and
thus to bring disaster on the people,
and the presence of the unwelcome
foreigner not only in the ports, but
throughout the interior in the person
of the missionary.
