Il London, Oct. Silt is impossible to
overaccentuate the wild enthusiasm Of
the populace in the welcome extended
to the citizen soldiers on their return
from South Africa yesterday. Thou
sands Of people were rushing into the
city early in the morning and the
streets were jammed along the entire
route with a cheering, patriotic, singing
multitude. The wave Of patriotism was
even greater than that of the queens
jubilee, which means that it was the
greatest popular demonstration the ems
pire has ever seen. For the first time
London's police were unable to cope
with the enormous crowds and the SOL
,diers had to assist them in keeping the
people in check. The procession was

lcidents owing to the unparalleled num-
ber Of people on the streets. A man fell
of the roof Of a house sixty feet from
the ground. He struck woman stand
ing on the sidewalk and she was
crushed to death. The man was not
hurt. AS result of the panic in Lud-
gate Circus sixty persons We're taken'

ments for dealing with the crowds
broke down completely and the streets
were filled with a surging multitude.
It was impossible for pedestrians to
make any progress and the difficulty in
restoring order became greater every
minute. The arrangements for keeping
Fleet street clear for the procession
utterly failed and a
surging Mass of People 5
police and volunteers were hopelessly
intermingled. A long line of policemen
pushing forward, shoulder to shoulder,
and backed by a line of volunteers
failed to keep the line clear; for the
reason that 1t was simply a question of
weight and the crowd vastly outnum-

never before witnessed in the streets Of
London, and yet with all perfect good

Much alarm Is felt here over the
reports of the Intention of the Chinese
to depcse the viceroy Of Nankin and
@CAang Chi Tung. the viceroy of Wu-
chang, who have been very friendly
y 10 foreigners during all the recent

Chang and asked whether this was
true. Earl Ii replied that the report
was mot only not true. but that such
acton was furthest from the emper-
orssJ thoughts. The report was re-
j peAted to Mr.. Conger and he formally
protested to Ii Hung Chang against
the deposing Of these officials. The
belief here 10 that if these viceroys
are deposed by the court such action

i gotiations and possibly lead to the de-
struction Of the Manchu dynasty.
Ii Hung Chang memorialised the
4 throne on Oct. 2S, demanding the pun
I ishment OF the parties guilty Of To-
4 menting the recent uprizing and caus-
4 ing all Of China's present troubles.
4 Emperor Kwang Su answered as fol-
lows: # #

tain officials, can do nothing more
until the board Of punishment acts on
the order to punish the officials who

THE GOOD OLD

k&sG;ssSl parative poverty of the past
that It is necessary TO go to sleep and
dream in order to look backward to

day between friends only a couple of

week or ten days after they were pen

they might lie over until the spring

Fortunate dwellers in New York,
Philadelphia and BOSTON read news

old In q newspaper printed on hand
machine much resembling letter copy

glad to have weekly or semlweekly

A few years ago John Best, the emil
nent orGanist, a very digniticd man,
was present ut Il great public dinner at
Liverpool. and II was understood that
he would contribute q short organ re-
cital to the harmony Of the evening.
"The organ will now play" was the
curt style In which the mayor, who
was in the chair. chose to announce the
performance, and Mr.. Best sat still in
his place, taking no notice whatever Of
the observation. The mayor repeated
the words in a louder tone of voice,
and still the great musician made no
sign.
A waiter came and whispered to Mr..
Best: Didn't you hear his worship,
sir? The organ will now play" Mr..
Best merely looked up with a surprised
and injured air. "Confound the Or
GAM! he said. Let it play"
The message was duly conveyed to
the mayor, and then the mayor rose
again. "Our distinguished fellow
townsman, Mr.. Best" he said, will
now very kindly oblige us with selec-
ton Of music OH the organ" Then and
not before Mr.. Best arose and enter
tanned the company.

the crane had been swung back, sup
per being over, logs were piled high in
the fireplace to furnish both heat and
light. They did have fiddlers, and they
did have the minuet in 1901, two in
situations to enliyen the monotony of
q sDarscly peopied land and encourage
sociable ways.
The war with France, fought on the
sea, was n staple topic of conversation,
and Commodore TruXton was the naval
hero whose exploits were celebrated in
fireside tales. The stanchness of the
wooden ships. the clOseness of the ac-
lions, the daring of the boarders and
the effectiveness of the American hull
shots were features Of the fighting to
glory over. The land battles talked
about were border skirmishes between
men in buckszin bearing tiintlocks and
painted savages armed with toma-
hawks and bows.
Kentucky was on the wild border in
1901, and the Mississippi valley. as
we'll as the gulf states and all beyond
the Rockies. was pcOpled with IN
dams, Spaniards and French. The
New Englander called it "gOlng west"
II he took up home beyond the Hud-
son in New York or PENIS woods.
Maine had no political existence. be-
ing q part Of Massachusetts, and the
Mexican west coast was scarcely
known to the people of the states.
Hence the phrase, From Maine to
California" had yet to be invented to
express the wide extent of the land Of
Washington.
Ohio in 1901 was q new territory
knocking for admission as n state,
while Indiana, Michigan and Illinois,
also Minnesota, were In the Northwest
Territory. Chicago was undrcamed Of
then, for Fort Dearborn hadn't been
built.
Communication between towns was
by means of common dirt roads, for
the principles of Telford and Mucadam
had not yet been adopted. Water was
supplied in towns and villages by pri-
vate and public wells, and the town
pump was n rival for the tavern as a
gathering place for gossips. There
were no artificial means for lifting wa
ter above its level for distribution.
Water was the only power outside Of
muscle for driving machinery. Lum-
Der was cut by upright saws, and plan
ing was all done by hand. Moving and
reaping were done by hand, and the
songs of the haymakers and harvest
ers, as they swung In irregular line
across the fields. filled with music the
valleys which now tremblc under the
clamor of the modern machine.
