heart exclaimed with his dying breath that the surgeons probing for the bullet would find at his heart the Emperor. At my heart said Mrs. Johnston, you would find a little boy saved.'"
 Her voice grew tremulous, and there was not a dry eye in the large assembly that bowed its head to the benediction pro- nounced by Dr. Handley.
 The corner stone bears the following in- scription:
 "The Johnston Home Industrial Farm for Boys-Erected, 1900."
 In the receptacle were placed the charter for the institution, a copy of Woman's Work, the Birmingham News, a photo graph of MT. Gibson, who introduced the school bill, and a number of coins from the literary clubs of Mobile and Montgom- cry. The Mothers Union, Mrs. Johnstons class at Pratt mines, and coins and cards from individuals.
 The ceremony was witnessed by a large number of persons from Birmingham and East Lake, and the occasion was also nota- ble by the presence of a number of prom fnent visiting club women, among whom were Mrs. Erwin Craghead of Mobile, the former president of the Alabama Fedora ton of Womens Clubs; Mrs. George B. Eager of Montgomery, the vice president of the Board of Control Mrs. J. M. De- Cottes, the editor of the Woman's Depart ment of Montgomery Advertiser.
 The occasion was impressively beautiful and memorable to those who witnessed it. Every brick, every arch, every bit of ma terial seemed yesterday to speak mes sage of gratitude from thousands of hearts to the men and women who have succored the movement through a period of ex- tremity.

A Chicago Typhoid Outbreak

From the Philadelphia Record
 Typhoid fever has been so ofter traced to Its source in drinking waer that sanitarians nave come to regard an epidemic of the Its sources in drinking water, sanitarians Death by a bullet from a gun is not a clearer instance of cause and effect than typhoid fever from polluted water: vet the great body of people cannot be made to fear the use of water which may be suspected or containing the germs of that malady h. telllgent men run chances, without taking the percaution of having the water they consume properly analysed. In spite of all the proofs to the contrary, many cling to the faliacy that running or clear water does not contain any deleterious substances
 An ocean could not destroy the energy of a pint of water in which there are typhoid microbes. The larger the quantity of the water the less danger there is of finding the germs in any particular glassful: but when found they are as virulent as ever Ageaan and again typhoid epidemies have been traced to the use of water taken from a river many miles below the point where the germs entered the stream. It is cer- tain that when the excrement of a single typhoid patient enters the Schuylkill for example, 1t endanSers the lives of all who use the fluid unfiltered or unboiled. On the measure of the pollution depends the de- gree Of danger. Thousands of users may not happen to swallow the germs in wears: but there Is always the possibility of their doins so. It is important to recognize this fact in order to keep up a strong public sentiment in favor of the earliest possible adoption of means of absolute safety
 report comes from Chicago of an out break of typhoid which should be warn ing not only to golfers but to all others Who drink from wells. Forty seven mem NefH of Q golf club have been stricken with uhe disease within a fortnight At first unere was no suspicion that the water nf the two desps wells on the grounds could De contaminated as there was no apparent source of danger. Still. a bacterioloaist was asked to make an examination, and he round the water of both wells alive with tNphold bacilli. It is obvious now that the examination should have been made before the opening of the golf season; but similar heShSence is general. Sanitarians are ut tcfly opposed to the use of well water and wherever It Is necessary to use wells the water should be frequently analysed The trouble is that until an epidemic breaks out people will not believe there is any danger. When man has drunk from a we'll for years without injury he cannot be convinced that there is anything to fear from the water. The experience of our soldiers in the camps or mobilization dur ing the Spanish War should have taught many lessons; but the medical men have not impressed those lessons on the public.

PECULIARITIES OF CHINA
The Wonderful System of Agriculture
 That is Practiced

Washington, July 1s.-Although the vast cities of China, worked up the state of frenzy and fanaticism, have rendered inn possible any satisfactory action by the available forces of the powers, the great Chinese population proper Is agricultural and naturally extremely peaceful and peace-loving. Agriculture however, is most primitive and the wonder Is how such an immense population can be supported from the soil until the great economy practiced tn all things Is understood. On the great plain of China every available foot of land Is utilized for growing something, and every particle of fertility returned to the soil Water Is used for irrigation and in many cases laboriously distributed over the fields. fN
 The Great Plain itself is one of the most wonderful sections of the globe. It is about 700 miles in length and varies from 2O0 to 400 miles in width, occupying the northwestern part of the empire, and con- tafning over 100000 square miles of won derfully fertile soil. The most interesting feature of this plain is its enormous pop ulation, as it supports, according to the census of 1872. not less than IT, 000, 900 hu- man beings, making it the most densely settled of any part of the world of the same size, its inhabitants amounting to nearly two-thirds of the entire population of Europe
 
 tcal geography of China is the existence of vast region of loess in this portion of the empire. Loess is very solid but fria- ble earth, brownish yellow in color, and is found in many places 300 to 1000 feet deep. The loess hills rise in terraces and deep cuts, and are from twenty to several hun dred feet In height. Every atom of loess Is perforated by small tubes after the man. ner of root flores, only the direction of these little channels is always from above downward so that cleavage in the loess mass Is invariably vertical The loess re- zion of China Is perhaps the most broken country in the world, with its sheer cliffs, and upright walls, terraces and deep-cut ravines. Owing to the ease with which it can be worked, caves made at the bases of straight cliffs afford homes to millions of people in the densely populated northern provinces where the Boxers have thus far been most active. Whole villages cluster together in carved out chambers, some of which extend back more than 200 feet The capacities of defense in country such as this, where an invading army must neces- sarily become lost and absolutely bewil- dered in the tangle of interlacing ways, and where the defenders may always re- main concealed or have innumerable means of escape, is peculiarly significant at this time, when consideration is being given to a conquest of China.
 It may not be generally known that the Chinese were the discoverers of coal as a fuel. The Venetian traveller. Marco Polo, says: "It Is fact that all over the coun- try of Cathay (China) there is kind of black stone existing in the beds of the mountains which they dig out and burn like firewood. This stone burns better and costs less"

DIXON WENT DOWN
 IN SIXTH ROUND Couldn't Stand Body Punches
 of Sullivan. HIS SECONDS GAVE 1T UP It Was Popular Victory and the De- cision Was Greeted With
 Cheers-Betting 9 to
 on the Negro

New York, July s1.-The one-time invin- cible George Dixon succumbed' to Tommy Sullivan of Brooklyn at Coney Island to- night in their battle at 122 pounds. The end came as the men shaped for the sev enth round, when Tim O'Rourke, Dixon s chief second, admitted defeat for his man, and claiming that his left arm was disa- bled, refused to permit him to continue This left no other alternative for the ref cree, who declared Sullivan the winner. Dixon was getting the worst of the body punching each was administering, and just before the close of the sixth round was looking appealingly toward his corner. Dixon looked particularly bad about the body. Sullivan was willing to mix it up on the slightest provocation, and it was the prevailing opinion that Dixon was beaten, and well beaten. It was a popular victory, and was greeted with cheers. A great volley of cheers greeted "Old Choco- late" when he entered the ring. Suliivan's adherents made themselves heard by d blast of tin horns, which they sounded upon the slightest occasion. The betting was ? to l on Dixon, and considerable money changed hands, After the fight Dixons
  places.
 The preliminary, scheduled to go twelve rounds at 122 pounds, between Sam Bolen and Cyclone Jim" Quinn lasted just two rounds, and resulted in Quinn getting right-hand jolt which rendered him unfit for further combat.
 Fight by Rounds
 Round 1-Sullivan was the first to lead, lan lipht iah foo started right in and whipped in left hooks and right swings, which soon apparently justified the odds on the coloPed boy. Su- livan's nose looked a bit the worse for wear as they went to their corners.
 Round 2-Sullivan seemed unable to get away from Dixon's left A rattling ex- change of mitigating, with the wind the ob- jective point by each set the crowd on edge. Dixon apparently did not relish the body punches. Sullivan's right ear was bleeding when they took their chairs
 Round 3-DiXon rushed repeatedly, but usually swung around hls opponents body because Sullivan stepped inside Dixon landed number of his straight rights to the body and head Sullivan usually came back for the body. Dixon landed a stagger tc the body just the bell sounded.
 Round A beautiful session of in-fight- ing started in this round and was not liked by Sullivan. Dixon landed smashing left to the body, which he followed with a right swing. Sullivan was a trifle blown at the bell.
 Round 5-Dixon started right in at the first. Midway through the round George had Sullivan on the ropes staggering with both hands. The latter returned as good as he got and pounded Dixons wind in way the latter did not relish. Sullivan had all the better of the latter half of this round and was the stronger at the bell.
 Round 6-Dixon looked a trife weary when they came up. This round consisted of in-fghting completely Both men were locked throughout. Sullivan had all the better of the argument and weakened his man completely by the body punches
