Excellent Job from a Financial Point
of View.

The position of some of the "chefs
de claque" at large Paris theaters is a
very enviable one from a financial
point of view, says the Wide World.
They are capitalists and spectators.
Before the minister of fine arts, a few
years ago, made the claque at the
opera a state institution, they them
selves did the very same thing, and l
have known 9-franc tickets sold at a
little office in the Rue Auber by the
former chef de claque" of the opera
for as much as 20 francs each. But
when an opera was a great success
and tickets were in demand, he nat
urally made people pay dearly for
them. Surprising a play to be a great
success, then he quickly becomes a
rich man, and there are many cases
on record of "chefs de claque' who
have died worth hundreds of thousands
of francs. Auguste and Porcher of the
opera both died immensely rich. The
former was rich enough before he be-
came chef de claque' at the opera to
pay $4,000 francs ($16, O0O) for his po-
sition. Besides the profit he made on
tickets, he received handsome presents
from actors and actresses.

Cordage SNOW Shovel.

What do you think of a snow shovel
made OF a metallic frame and a bag
of flexible netting, devised by Charles
White Allen of M~anasquan, N. j.? A
slight modification in it's structure,
namely, the substitution Of metallic
rings linked together to form a strong
bag, in the place of netting, makes it
also suitable for handling hard and
heavy material such as coal and
gravel.

A Lonely Existence.

The Chinese emperor is obliged to live
in ~seclusion. He can never go out Of
his palace gates and see his people and
country. as other monarchs can. His

or eight times a year down the
principal streets of Pekin no ordinary
citizen can boast of having seen him.

Tien-Tsin, and the opinion of
minority favors the military leaving
also. Stories OF colossal Chinese
armies gathering continue TO worry
not only the rank and file but the
commanders, who admit the uncer-
tainty OF "Reminiscences and the
complete absence of an effective in
telligence department, Chinese in
formation is received with extreme
distrust.
1t is obvious that, though there
are many thousands Of Chinese
camped behind the guns, nothing
can be done at present except to
wait the arrival of achievements.
The rainy season has set in, aud this
makes going into the interior diff
cult. The country between Picking
and Tien-Tsin in other years has
been frequent flooded. River trans
port is almost impossible and the
railway is practically non.existent
and must be entirely rebuilt.
Military opinion is unanimous
that if the legations did not need
relief it would be foolish to attempt
advance before September.

FROM CHINA.

The News is Assuring, the Emper-
ot's Uncle is Protecting the For
eigners-The German Squadron
En- Route.
LONDON, July 10, 1875 a. IN With
the foreigners in Peking probably
and amid civil war, with Prince
Ching on their side, with the Pow
ers united and their forces constant
ly increasing, the outlook 10 China
is now rather more hopeful than IL
has been for month past. 1t APP
pears from the cautious statement
given out by Taotai Shan in Sbang-
hal that the reason that the heavy
guns bearing on the legations at
Peking were not used is that Prince
Ching, who is served by 10000
troops, seized all the artillery am
munition. Shan likewise intimates
that Yung Lu, commander in chief
OF the northern army, is associated
with Prince Ching in opposing
Prince Tuan's ferocious designs and
dictatorial ambition. Shan, who
appears to be the sole Shanghai
conduit Of Peking news, cheers the
foreign Consuls by those confden-
tial communications, but takes ex-
cessive precautions to prevent the
Chinese from thinking him friendly
to the foreigners.
The feeling OF unrest in the south
ern and central provinces continues.
The members OF the official classes
in those provinces strive 10 remain
neutral, with a leaning toward the
foreigners, until they shall see whe-
Their the moderate or extreme fac
tions will win in Peking. Prince
Ching seems to be standing for the
dynasty and the old order against
Prince Tuan's inordinate ambition.

DANGER OF DELAY.
From foreign viewpoint, the
capture of Peking is the key to the
situation, as there is fear, accord
ing to the Daily Mails Shanghai
correspondent, that delay now
means 100 recruits for the Boxers
for every soldier OF the allies in the
land.
Two couriers arrived at Ten Tsin
on July 1 from Peking. One
brought letter from Sir Claude
Macdonald, the British Minister, 10
the same effect as that previously
received from Sir Robert Hart.
The couriers confirm the reports of
the death OF Baron Won Ketteler.
They say that Prince Ching is do
ing his utmost to protect the for.
eigners, but that the native feeling
against the whites is strong, Two
high officials opposed to the Boxers
are reported by the couriers to have
been assassinated.
Sir Claude Macdonald's letter is
dated four days earlier than that OF
Sir Robert Hart.
EMPRESS DowAGER's LATEST STAND.
A dispatch to news agency,
dated Tien-Tsip, July 2, says:
"The Empress Dowager, so far
from being dead, is actively striving
to prevent the factions fighting
Prince Ching has informed her that
he would rather lose his head than
be constantly obliged TO warn her Of
the consequences of the pro!onga-
ton OF the present anarchy. Prince
Tuan is quite willing that Ching
should be deoapitated, hut the Dow
ager will not allow this. Prince
Tuan has decided that he will take
full responsibility. He purposes to
retake Ten-Tsiu and Taku. Out

and Shantupg country, the people
are supremely Indifferent"

THE SOLDIERS CLUB
A View OF the CSnteen From the Sol.
diers' Side From the Redvllle
Ind, Republican

To the Editor Sir;-7So much has
been said and written about the army
cantecn at home that I desire to speak
on the subject
The cauteen. far from being a curse,
as some gentlemen would induce peo-
pie to believe, is an actual blessing
to the soldier. The canteen on milf
tary reservation, for one thing, serves
as protection in moral sense. You
don't believe it, Ell; Let me enlighten
you, then Did you ever hear of the
hog ranch - Wen, the "hog
ranch" is name for a collection Of
dives and saloons-the toughest and
worst in the world, that used to be
piled up against the outer gate of
every big military reservation, es-
pecially in the larger cities. There
was dealt out poison for straight
goods for which was charged two or
three prices. Robberies, shooting
and cutting scrapes were not infre-
quent occurrences. The hog ranch"
was run by shameless women and
characterless men.
Now, when Il soldier is in the bar
racks, cooped up like bird, and he
gets out he feels as if he wanted to
experience little sociability. He is
a stranger in the country around, per-
haps, and he naturally gravitates to
the hog ranch. He becomes a prey to
all the evils of the resort. He is only
human and the monotony of camp life
has given him hot thirst for hilar-
ious liberty not to mention license.
The canteen has practically killed
off the hog ranch.
What is the Canteen It is the
soldiers club. The officers have a
club, why not the men? Light bever-
ages are sold at the canteen, but the
goods are all first class and pure, and
the price charged is most reasonable.
Officers govern the canteen. 1t is in
side the barracks and order is main
tanned there all the time. Men are
not permitted to make swill barrels
of themselves or to wallow about in
drunkenness. There is limit at the
canteen and drunkenness is con-
demned.
The soldiers meet there and enjoy
an hour or two, exchanging stories,
etc, and return to quarters feeling the
better for life's amenities,
Who gets the money that is spent
in the oanteen ? Why, after the cost
of the goods is paid, the money
! called goes to the men in the ranks.
The Iola register. [volume] (Iola, Allen County, Kansas) 1875-1902, 1900-11-23

The soldiers who support the canteen
get the profits, either in provisions
for their mess or in money if they
choose.
What does the canteen do? 1t keeps
the soldier from going outside to pay
somebody for poison in the guise of
liquor. IL saves him from the attacks
OF the loafers of the hog ranch. II
saves him from the clutches of the
witches who used to make specialties
of dispOsing of the murderous liquors
of the ranch.
The canteen causes no broken heads
and there is no disorder in the club
house. You license the saloons in the
cities where all the patrons get all the
worst Of it and you never have word
to say against these clubs But if the
soldier tries to make his lot pleasant
and makes profit by keeping his
own sideboard and being his own
beneficiary in "A business sense, why,
there is howl that would make ones
hair stand on end like the quilts of a
fretful porcupine.
Men are not serving the cause of
religion by whacking at the canteen.
Let them turn their guns on some OF
the genuine evils of the day. Let them
push prohibition on its general merits.
Let them, anyhow, come into camp
and find out just what the canteen is
before they make crusade against
it and | am sure ! would be willing,
for one, to show them around.
Do they favor the canteen or the
hog ranch The canteen has cor
rected the evils of all concerned. No
body is forced to drink, and if one
does not patronize the canteen he yet
shares in the profits. The canteen is
the least of a soldiers temptations.
