WOMEN PURSUED HIM.
Philip "i''s Made Speech Against Them and
they Ruined HIM.

Philip wi'sis Made Speech Against Them and
they Ruined HIM.
Philip Wissig, once prominent, in
fluential and wealthy, is now seeking
release from his debts in the New
York courts. All his misfortunes are
attributed to the wrath of women in
general, who resented an anti suffrage
speech he once delivered. His wife
alone OF all the sex remains faithful to
him in his adversely.
By means of hard work and
straightforward dealing Wissig ad-
vanced himself from his position as a
boy without means to that of man
with much wealth and the prospect of
more. Entering politics, he joined
Tammany Hall, and was soon made
leader in the Eighth district. Then
he went to the Legislature as mem.
Der of the assembly, being twice re.
elected.
While the assembly was considering
a bill framed for the purpose of con-
ferring the right of suffrage upon wo
men, Wissig, one April day in 1892,
spoke against the measure, using
language that was so filled. it is said,
with obscene illusions that, by piva
voce vote, it was stricken from the
records.
That day Wissig found himself no
torious. From all parts of the coun.
try he was assailed and his picture was
often published, bearing the caption
" Foul. Mouthed Phil" He was called
before Richard Croker, who deposed
him as leader in his district. He was
Stunned by many of his old friends
and his business fell away rapidly.
Wissig spent his money freely in an
attempt to rehabilitate himself. He
succeeded in 1894 in persuading Tam.
many to again nominate him for the
assembly, this time in the Third dis.
trict. There Immediately rose such
clamor that he was forced to withdraw
just before election. Again, in 1897,
he sought election to the assembly
and again failed. His fortune dwin-
died away and instead of prosperity
he found poverty surrounding him.

scribe his ideal in glowing words,
speaking from the heart as only an
artist can when delivering his soul to
sympathetic listener. But the
President quietly interrupted him
with twinkle in his eye.
" Is that how you conceive Justice%
he said. "Parfait! And now would
you like to know what she really is, in
point of fact and in actual life?" He
rummaged in his pocket and produced

A Deputy Father.

The other night reckless skeptic
attended a spiritualist-materializing
meeting, and in the course OF the even
ing, assuming to be of the faithful, he
sought an interview with his father.
The medium being willing, the father
appeared. This conversation followed :
"How are you. fatherf Are you
happy in the spirit world?"

"And is poor brother Jim happy,
too?"
ayes, my boy; he enjoys the spirit
world"
There was a moments silence, when
the sceptic broke out with:
"What makes you lie SO, fatherf /
never had sister, nor brother Jim"
This broke up the meeting.

WIFE OF A DIPLOMAT.
Chinese Ministers Spouse Remains Faithful to
Oriental Customs.

Chinese Ministers Spouse Remains Faithful to
Oriental Customs.
While the new Chinese Minister to
the United States has been conspicu-
Gus of late at many public functions
in different parts OF the country, his
wife remained faithful to the oriental
dress, and her costumes are the envy
of her American sisters. On state oc-
casions she wears brilliant petticoat
Of red and blue, just short enough to
show her little feet, heavily embroi-
dered with gold. Over this is worn a
tunic of black and purple, also richly
wrought with bullion. On her breast
is large gold eagle, which signifies
that her rank is equal to that of her
husband, and she may at all functions
enter and leave the room at his side
instead of behind him, US would be re-
quired if she were of lesser rank.
Her head dress is narrow band of
black satin, ornamented with hand
some jewel-a large pearl usually
worth quite kings ransom, worn di-
rectly in front. This band is decorat-
ed with flowers which fall just behind
the ears and add much to its pictur-
esqueness. Her jewels are extremely
beautiful. The stones are large, Of
fine lusser, exquisitely cut and set in
the quaint manner which oriental
goldsmiths seem to hold the secret of,
as these settings are rarely seen in
this part of the world. Mr.. Wu's
opinion regarding some OF the Ameri-
can customs are we'll known, and his
structures on the habit of binding the
waist instead of the feet have been
given wide publicity. Nine. Wu
shares her husbands views regarding
what they look upon as an instrument
of torture, the modern corset, and
when asked not long ago what she
thought most strange upon her arri-
val in this country, said, panied ex-
preston coming over her face, The
small waists; how can they stand it?
How can they breatheG"

His Idea of Justice.

The pessimism of President Loubet
of France is notorious all over Paris
and many are the anecdotes afloat re-
garding this trait of his character.
One OF these runs thus:
While M. Constans, the artist, was
spending day with President Louoet
at Rambouillet recently, he was asked
by the host upon what subject he was
now engaged. "M. lie President,
said the other, II am painting big
canvas symbolizing Justice"
"Indeedl And how do you con-
ceive herr"
Whereat the painter began to de-

to the reasons why Ex-Governor Bout
we'll believes he can, under no circum.
stances, vote for Mckinley again.
Mckinley is trying to make for
himself a place in history as monu-
mental figure. To accomplish that
end he is willing to do anything"
Then followed the comparison quot
ed at the beginning OF this article.

HORRORS At TEN TSIN.
Atrocities by Russians and Chinese Beyond

London. July 21.-The Daily Express
has received the following from Tien
Tsin. dated July Is:
THE casualties of the allies in the
three days fighting before the native
city of Tien Tsin, exceeded 1000.
1t is now certain that there were
several Russians and Frenchmen fight
ing on the Chinese side. The Chinese
killed their own women wholesale to
prevent them falling into the hands Of
the Russians.
Yesterday. the whole native city was
in flames. and the stencil Of the burning
thousands Of corpses was unspeakably
horrible.
among the incidents Of the fighting.
July 13, was the precipitate flight Of 500
French troops from Amman. They had
been ordered to hold an important
front: but. on being charged by the
Chinese with bayonets. the rear de-
tachment bolted panic stricken.
THE Russians killed all the Chinese
wounded in revenge for the Pekin mas
sacre."

Receiving Congratulations For Success ia
Opening Communicated with Conser.

Washington, July 2O.-The Chinese
minister. Mr. WI Ting Fang. is, to-
day. the center of official and personal
congratulations over the great service
he has performed for the American
government and the American people
in opening up communication between
United States Minister Conger and
Washington and in sweeping aside a
mass of horrible reports as to whole
sale massacre of our officials and
others. The Chinese legation was in a
state of jubilation, today.
Minister Wu's personal feelings over
the receipt of the message are those
of intense relief following long period
Of extreme depression. He had little
to say over the message, as it speaks
for itself. and his views could add
nothing to it.
Above all he is rejoiced that the re-
ports as to the massacre of Minister
Conger and all other foreigners is dis
sipated and this he regards as the su-
preme fact, Notwithstanding the grave
statement in the message that bonn
bardment is going on and massacre is
imminent.
The frankness with which this state
ment is made is taken as conclusive
evidence of the genuineness of the dis
patch. .I

JAPAN'S CHEERFUL ASSENT.
United States May Land Troops and Supplies

Washington. July 20.-As was antic-
ipated the Japanese government has
given its cheerful assent to the appli-
cation of the United States govern
ment for permission to land armed
troops and military supplies in Nagas-
aki, in transit to Taku, China This
privilege was desired in order that the
Pacific transports plying between San
Francisco and Manila should not be
diverted from their regular route. but
that the troops and stock carried by
them and intended for service in China
might be transferred at Negasaki to
other vessels Of the transport service
and taken direct to Takn. The quar-
termaster's department of the army
had provided three large transports Of
the Philippine service for use on the
line between Nagasaki and Taku and
1t is in this way to expedite the move
ment of troops to China.

BECKHAM NOMINATED
For Governor Of Kentucky by Democratic
Pary-Kansas City Platform Endorsed.

| Lexington. Ky, July 20.-Gov Beck
ham was nominated by the Democrats
for governor by reclamation, at 305 A.
a. After the names of Judge Black Of
Barboursvill-, and Judge Tarvin Of
Newport. were placed in nomination a
roll call Of the convention was begun.
When Mclean county was reached at
3 A. NJ, Beckham had the SAT votes
necessary to nominate. Then Black and
Tarvin's names were withdrawn and
the latter moved that the nomination
Of Beckham be unanimous The mo-
ton carried and Beckham was escort
ed to the platform where he made his
speech of acceptance.
The platform adopted is in part as
follows:
We heartily endorse the platform and
nominees of the national Democratic
convention at Kansas City.
We recommend that the election law
of 1898 known as the Goebel law
which was enacted to prevent the repe-
tition Of well-known Republican frauds
in certain districts Of this state, but
which has not proved sufficient for that
purpose, be amended to secure this
end so thoroughly that the most hypo-
CRITICAL can llHu no excuse lot cndTS-
ing fraud or unfairness to our party in
the conduct of the election.
Until such amendments can be en-
acted we declare that the Republican
party shall have representation on both
the state and all county boards of
election commissioners.
The mob and the assassinators shall
not be the arbitrators of the rights of
the citizens of Kentucky, nor shall the
penalty of an appeal to the law and
the regularly constituted authorities be
death at the hands of assassins.
Law and order must and shall pre-
vail in Kentucky.
Gov. Bradley's alleged use Of the
militia to control the election Of Nov,
1899, is denounced.
Sincerist grief is expressed over the
death of Gov. VIM. Goebel
The administration of Gov. j. C. w.
Beckham was strongly endorsed.
