THE CHINESE PIRATES
They Make Cruising S,mctimes Very
 Lively.

Nothing speaks moro eloquently for the slight and precarious hold that ci- vilizlG nations have lad, and have. on China, than the wonderful power. dar- ing, auGac;ty and succ, ss of the Chinesa pirates. And nothing speaks more el- oquently for the secrecy with which the Chinese have enveloped their affairs successfully than the fact that despite tn" vast numbers of the pirates and their many awful deeds. so little is known to the outside world about them.
 The pirates of China furnish material today for a tale before the horror of which the stories of the bloody buc- cancers of the Spanish main would seem like innocent prattle. Torture, mutilation, Npillage. murder. every ou5- rage which the diaboliral ingenuity of the Chinese mind can devise await the victims of these the worst and wick edest wretches that are on the earth today.

FALL OF FIFTEEN FEET

A distressing and unusual accident oc'
Cured at the home of Milton Johnson,
No. 1886 West Eighteenth street about
O'Clock yesterday afternoon.
Johnson's two sons were playing in
the yard. Milton, aged years was lean
ing on a pale fence and looking up at his
brother, aged years, who was climbing
about on large poplar tree.
He was OH limb about fifteen feet
from the ground.
The limb suddenly broke and the boy
up the tree fell heavily on the neck OF
his brother leaning over the fence.
The latter had his face pierced with
the top of the paling. The cheek was
being destroyed. 1t was badly bruised,
but it is Believed that the sight is not af-
fected.
After striking his brother the boy
landed on the back of his head on the
ground. He received a very severe
wound on his head:
A letter-carrier who was passing went
to the assistance OF the lads and carried
them into the house.
DR.. j. p. Wales, Jr.. was hurriedly
summoned. Last night the lad who fell
was in a precarious condision. The con-
dition of the other boy was more favor
able.
1t is believed that had he fell On the

nave been instantly killed.
The affair created much excl ement in
the Highlands and it was generally re-
ported that both had died. There were
also many versions OF how the accident

Shoemaker Told Enumerator That
He Lived on Bread and Water.
The four renumerators engaged in tax.
ing the industrial census of Wilmington
are meeting with considerable difficulty.
At many places they are treated with
scaDt courtery as the questions they are
required to ask are verv pointed.
When they start to ask how mnch
money has been borrowed, how much
cash is on hand, how much material is
bonoht in wear. etc.
Many people think they are venturing
on matters winch are private anu DO not
concern the government.
To these people reference to the law
which says that any one refusing TO
answer shall be fined not exceeding
$4,000 and may be imprisoned for a
period not exceeding one year generally
sufiices to loosen their tongues.
The enumerators have discovered that
some of the business men of the city are
doing very small yearly business. One
shoemaker said he did from 5000 to $500
worth of business year and paid $40 a
year rent.
''On what do you live?" asked the
enumerator in astonishment.
"On bread and WATER" replied the
man.
lne yearly business done by some of
the dressmakers has been found to be
very small.
None OF the large establishments have
as yet made any returns. They have all
been furnished with schedules which
they are filling out.

Blockson, it is said, gave the child to a
down the State white man to raise.
Blockson in explanation OF his conduct
claimed that he did it out of charity for
the child 80 that it would have good
home and be brought up well.
Are you an assistant to Agent Stout
OF the ). p. G. C?'' asked Magistrate
Daley.
"No, / am not" replied Blockson,
while a smile passed over the faces of
the spectators at the hearing. Blockson
failed to explain by what authority he
attempted TO do work of that character.
Mrs. Laws said she had to work for a
living but was providing for the child as
well as she knew how.
The hearing was continued until this
morning. The white man, who took the
child to raise will have the child at the
magistrates office today.

thought it was BIocksom's child, now

TEE WOMEN BATHERS.
Councilman Mousiey Favors the
Establishment of a Public Bath
for Them,


Councilman Prince A. Mousey of the
Ninth. ward strongly favors the estab-
llshment OF public bath on the other
side OF the Brandywine in the vicinity of
the foot OF Buena Vista street.
In an interview he said that the fact
that many women and their husbands
were bathing in the river at that point
showed the necessity of such an estab-
ment.
,'The public bath near the foot of
Adams street is all right" confined Mr..
Mousley, land seems to be we'll patron
lied by the boys but not as we'll by the
women. OAe reason suppose is because
women are not allowed to take their hus-
bands with them and another that it is
not open at night. In extreme hot
weather many persons would like to
bathe at night, especially those who cam
not well go during the day.
The women of Brandy wine villege are
continuing to bathe in the Brandvwine
at the foot of Buena Vista STR, and
have thus far had very enjoyable time.
Ii is the sentiment OF citizens generally
In that section that public bath sl,ould
be established along the river. IL has
been suggested that a bath house he
built out over the river This would Le
preferable to mere swimming poul.
