Methodist missionaries at Tsun Hua

that, including their wives and families
there are now thirty seven Americans

A recent census of Tien Tsin shows
the foreign population to be about 1000
persons, including 10 Americans. Thus
the report from Japan that 1900 for

The state department has received a
cablegram from Consul General Good
now at Shanghai, announcing the ar
rival there of three Chinese cruisers.
Not much apprehension is felt on &C
count of the appearance of these yes
sells at Shanghai, for the officials be-
lieve that there is no doubt as TO the
good intentions Of the Chinese navy.
Are We at WARP
Administration officials are exasper-
ated by the peculiar omission from
every official message of any statement
which would clear uD the doubt as TO
whether or not the Chinese armys as
we'll as the Boxers. are opposing the
relief column, and il the former, then
whether the troops are rebels or are
acting under the orders from the Chin
csc government. This point is Of the
utmost Importance, FOR upon it depends
the attitude to be assumed by the
United States toward China, and by
that test must be determined the Ques-
ton. Are we at war with China"
The state department still holds to a
negative view and it has received re-
Gently a powerful support in its posi-
ton by the attitude assumed by the
various European chancellories.

Tell storY Of Westwood.

Ex-Sheriff Fowler and other mem
bers of the posse tell a characteristic
story Of Westwood, who is known as
Dare Devil Dick" in Grand county
According to the story the name is not
inappropriate. AS the tale goes, the
posse followed the trail to the place
where it crossed White river There
the outlaws had jumped their horses
down ten foot embankment into the
river. On reaching this place the other
members of the posse halted in dis
may, but Westwood coolly remarked
that he was on the trail of the outlaws
and proposed to follow it. which he
proceeded to do, plunging in forthwith.
Horse and rider were mixed up in
the river until matters began to look
serious, but finally Westwood took it
alone and swan ashore to the Oppo-
site bank, from which place he assisted
the rest of the crowd in crossing later
after throwing a rope on his struggling
horse and assisting him out

BYERs SAYS It'll RIGHT.
Holds There is no Error in the Titus
Amendment.


From Saturdays Daiiy.]
The Titus amendment is without a
single defect in its language or in the
manner of it's passage, according to
the emphatically expressed opinion of
Representative H. w. Byers, Of Har-
Ian, ex-speaker of the house, and a
member of the twenty-fifth, twenty
sixth and twenty-eighth general as
|semblies. New grounds, radically diff
ferent from those hitherto taken, are
advanced by Mr.. Byers in support of
his Interpretation of the measures.
Mr.. Byers not only held the measure
was without defect and that the Of
ficers whose successors were elected
November had no right to hold over.
but opposed the views taken by the
attorney general, that the amendment
should read 1902" in the place Of
IDOL" Tho arriving at conclusions in
part similar to the attorney general,
he started from different stand
point. He holds the assumption was
wrong that the terms of officers elected
in in 1898 would not expire until the
first Monday in January, 1901. In his
opinion the terms of these officers
would expire December 31,190O, at
midnight.

THE Story OF A CRIME.

Here, related in the hard, I'M
sympathetic language of commerce. is
the tragic story Of a crime against
nature and the commonwealth:
AT Milford, Del, contracts were
closed for the bodies Of 5000 birds to
be killed for New York milliners at
from ten to fifty cents apiece The
contracts call for meadow larks, blue
birds redwing blackbirds, crow black
birds. English sparrows and baby
owls"
This recital means that a cruel
robbery is about to be committed in
Delaware robbery which is made
boubIy wicked by the fact that it is
perfectly legal The bird-life OF that
state is to be sacrificed to the whims Of
fashion. The farmers are to be de-
priyed Of 5000 Of their most efficient
crop-protectoEs and the landscape de-
spoiled Of a charm that nothing can
replace The birds called for by this
contract are nearly all Of INSECTICIDES

THE USEFUL TOAD.

That the toad is beneficial to tho
farmer, and particularly to the gar.
dener is admitted by every one who
has observed its habits. Additional
facts have been secured by recent OBJ
seryations at tle Massachusetts ey-
pertinent station, which show the
toad's food is composed of insects and
spiders, about so per cent. Of which
are directly injurious to cultivated
crops, or in other ways obnoxious 10
man.
The toad feeds on worms, snails, sow
bugs, common greenhouse pests and
the many-legged worms which damage
greenhouse and garden plots. II
feeds to some extent on grasshoppers
and cr.ckets. and destroys large num-
bers Of ants. 1t consumes a consider
able number of May beetles. rose
chasers, click beetles or adults OF the
wireworm. potato beetles and cucum-
Der beetles. II is prime destroyer OF
cut worms and army worms.
TO all agriculturists the toad renders
conspicuous service, but the gardeners
and greenhouse owners may make this
animal of especial value. Every gar
dener should aim to keep a colony Of
toads among his growing crops, and
the practice Of collecting and trans
ferrlng them to the gardens is a COM
mendable one.-American Agricultur-

HORSE, BICYCLE. AUTOMOBILE,

Three hustling teams arranged a
meet
Their metal to display;
Each recognized and known as fleet.
Each claimed the right of way.
The nice-groomed horse in glossy coat
Was first to reach the stand
He was contented with his lot
And first to make demand.
He always had the right of way
This the world conceded;
When harnessed to the "one-horse
shay
1t was all we needed
The Cycle wheel filed exceptions,
Not as to power or age.
But claiming a wise conception
Now appearing on the stage
Adopting the planet motion
TO aid the task of man;
mo claimed as Yankee notion
Has been a leading van.
The Automobile took the stand;
Though young claimed equal rights,
The right to conquer and demand
That all shall test by fight.
The Airship-a near relation
Is coming on the stage;
Now in training-on probation
And soon will be of age.
