Miss Charlotte
MulliRan was a
Brave Won1an,

ing engrossed in this reformatory work
it is not meant that she was wholly so;
she had healthy mind, interested in
many things, and, like all very busy
people, with time to spend on them.
For twenty years she was the musical
editor of the Buffalo Courier, and. a
member of the Scribblers' Club, an Or
ganization of newspaper women. In
1884, as president of the Buffalo sem
mary alumnae, Miss Mulligan proposed
putting up building for it's use, and
the chapter house that grew out of the
idea was one Of the first club houses
built by women. Afterward, the chap
ter house proving too small for the
steadily. growing association, it was
handed over to the women teachers as
ISOLATION and a larger building erect
ed. To assist in this work Miss Multi
gan founded the Twentieth Century
Club, which absorbed the graduates
association, and is now one of the
strongest clubs of Buffalo. OF this Miss
Mulligan had twice been elected presi-
dent. While these are the best-known
facts of Miss Mulligan's useful life 9th
er innumerable benevolences and kind
nesses enriched and beautified it. She
had been out OF health for ten years,
and very i'll of late, yet her death came
as a shock to many.

Sells OIL from a Push Cart.

A comparatively new shouter of the
streets of Washington is the man who
sells coal oil from push cart. He
has six ten-gallon cans of the oil ar
ranged in sockets in the bottom of his
cart. 1t seems peculiar at first
thought that a man could make liv-
ing in such gas-lighted town as
Washington by the sale of kerosene;
but there are parlor lamps to be filled,
and coal oil answers for deal of
scrubbing and cleaning. The oil
sellers have a peculiar cry, which is
not to be understood unless it is
taken in connection with a view of
the cryer and his push cart full of
cans. It sounds like "ka-lile," with
very strong accentation on the last
syllable, and it is repeated so rapidly
that it sounds like the rattle of mus
ketry.-Washington Star.

THE RID OF CHINA
MANNING, rHsE SEAT or
ANGIENr DYNAs rY.....

One Of the most interesting cities In
China is Marking, the. ancient capital
Of the empire before the time. of the
present Manchu dynasty. While Pc
kin in the pride of Manchu, Marking
is the chief center of attraction for
the Chinese. The Cinnamon form
95 per cent Of the teeming millions of
the empire, and are held down by only
81, 100000 Manchus. Marking, for the
Chinaman, is the great Past. It en-
bodies the glorious traditions of Chi
nese supremacy over the Tartars It
is also the Future. Around it hovers
Chinese hope for independence from
Mapchu oppression. It is the literary
and commercial capital of the empire.
Marking is the Yangtse-Kiang Valley,
and the Yangtse-Kiang Valley is
China. Marking under different
names has been sacked and burned
over and over again, only to rise, like
the Phoenix, from it's ashes, more ac-
tive and more beautiful.
The first Emperor Of the Ming
("Bright") dynasty, Buddhist priest,
and the son of Chinese laboring
man, Choo Yuen Chang, chose Nam
king for the seat of his imperial court
(136S-'99 A. d.. He gave Marking the
honorific name of Ying-Keen. His Sec
ond successor deserted Marking for
Pekin. The Manchu rulers have fur
Their lowered the city to the official
name of Kiang- Ming, but the popular
fancy still calls the city of Marking or
the southern capital. A few years ago
Marking wrenched the imperial crown
once more from Pekin and held it for
twelve years. Hung Seu Tseuen, a
convert to Professionalism, echoing the
popular cry for reform and Selling on
the universal longing for the return
OF Chinese dynasty, proclaimed him
self as sent by heaven to drive out the
Tartars and restore in his own person
the succession of China. OF the nine
teen provinces of China thirteen rec
ognized the sway of Marking. But the
1mperialists, led by Chinese Gordon,
captured Marking in July, 1864. The
king persisted in the flames with his
household; his followers were scat
tered all over the country, and the
magnificent palaces of the city were
reduced to ashes; what ruins have es-

amined by two physicians before he
left the Transvaal, and az result of
their examination he, was given SIX
months leave of absence. He will sail
for Europe on the German steamer
Herzog about Sept. "a, and will en-
deavor to obtain European interven-
ton. Gen. Shalkberger has been, or
will be. appointed acting president dur
ing Mr.. Kruger's absence. The Beers
generally are ignorant of the presi-

Boer sympathizers here think that his
absence will prove favorable to the
Boer cause, as the burghers will be
less hampered than heretofore. and
will adopt guerrilla warfare wholly.

Join him before sailing. but she has re-
piled that her health will not permit It,
Mr.. Steyn, formerly president Of the
Orange Free. State, remains in the
Transvaal. 1t is reported that Com

signed the chief command Of the
Transvaal forces to Commandant
Villejoen.
