Rana Etde NA merieano 2

Eduard Remenyi, the Hungarian vio- linist, was very entertaining and so full of fun that he would have made tiptop Irishman. He was at home in the gypsy music of his own country, and this was the main characteristic of his playing. He had also a fad for playing Schubert melodies on the yio- lin with the most attenuated pianissi- mo effects, and occasionally his hear CTS would listen intently after the tone had ceased, ina gining that they still heard a trace of 1t.
 Not long before leaving Weimar l had some fun with him by asking If he had ever heard "any bona iide Amer ican spoken" He replied that he did not know there was such a language. Well" said I, "listen to this for a specimen: Ching a-ling-a- -dardee.

Pri>ateer of 1872 Wrecked.

Boston. Nov. 21.-A message received here from North Brooksville, Me, says that the schooner Polly has been wreck ed. She had 75.000 feet of lumber as a cargo, shipped at Bangor for Boston. The Polly was a 4S ton schooner, and she had the distinction of being the old est craft in the American marine. having been built in 1895 at Amesbury. Dur ing the war of 1912 the Polly was a privateer and was instrumental in cap turing British gunboat of the coast of Maine. She was to have gone to Chicago at the Worlds fair, but some business difficulty arising she failed to get up the lakes. She was the oldest schooner of her class afioat and was a close com petitor for the honor of being the oldest American vessel in active service or in ordins-y with the Constitution at the navy yard.

When Tea Was Dear.

The use of tea is said to have been introduced into China itself from Ko- req about the fourth century of the Christian era and to have extended to Japan about the ninth century. Tea first became known to Europeans about 1610. The first reference to 1t by na- tive of Britain is in letter dated June 27, 1915, written by MT. Wickham, which is in the records of the East h. dia company.

braid.


 Wandering on. she finally found her self outside the precincts of China town. She had never been so far away from home without Woo Ma, but she was not afraid, and the shop windows were wonderful. She had paused to admire some colored glass balls In showcase. when she felt timid touch on her shoulder and saw a little Amer ican girl standing beside her. Could a little American girl be her sister? She stretched out her hand and touched the child's face lovingly, and the tiny white maiden moved closer and kissed Ku Yum on the cheek.
 'I have been looking for you" began Ku Yum, and then woman rushed up and dragged the little American girl away.
 Ku Yum felt discouraged. It was getting dark, and she had lost her way. Passersby stared curiously at her. Some paused as If to speak, but seeing that 1t was little Chinese girl who could not understand them proceeded on their way.
 Suddenly Ku Yum felt something sharp strike her cheek. It was peb- ble. ku Yum bounded from her corner like a little kitten. and the boy who had thrown the pebble, joined by oth- CTS of his kind, pursued. The appear ance of a policeman, however, put a stop to the chase, and while the officer was shaking his baton at the boys Ku Yum ran pantingly up hill and sank down exhausted outside a fenced gar den. where she lay sobbing and shiver- ing in the cold and dark. 1t was hard indeed to find little sister.
 Half an hour later gentleman stum- bled over a little heap outside his gar den gate.
 Hello" he exclaimed when the light of a match revealed Ku Yum, tits a tiny Chinese girlr' Whereupon Ku Yum, who had been sleeping just as soundly as though she were at home, rubbed her eyes, opened them and be- gan to cry.
 Have I hurt you. midget% asked the gentleman in Chinese. He had liv- ed In China for number of years. ku Yum shook her head. but contin- ued crying and the gentleman took her by the hand and led her into the house. "Why, Edward, who is this" asked a lady, coming forward to meet them. "That Is for you to find out, my | dear," replied the gentleman. Then the lady, who could also speak Ku Yum's language, drew the little | girl to her side and gave her hot cup | of cocoa. And Ku Yum ceased crying and answered the kind questions that were put to her. telling also of her big | longing for little sister. Tears filled the lady's eyes. Poor | little human" said she. "She has be | gun to seek a sister soul" And she ! took Ku Yum in her arms and comfort | ed and petted her as Ku Yum had not | been comforted and petted since her | mother died two years before.
 The next morning the lady took Ku Yum home. The little girl was very quiet while her father talked with her new friend. br. when Woo Ma appear | ed she ran to ithe old woman's side and | pointing to the lady, cried jubilantly

Sensation In WyomfnR. Tn.

A murder mystery has developed at Wyoming, Pa, near Wilkesbarre, and the principal figure in it is Rev. D. c. Stuart, a former pastor of the Wyoming Baptist church. His wife died suddenly two weeks ago at the home of her daughter in Plymouth. She had been married but three months and was i'll only ten days. Her illness was not considered serious, and she died suddenly shortly after her husband had carried dinner to her bed side. An empty bottle having the label of "carbolic acid'' was found near the bed, and suicide was suggested. Numer- ous suspicious circumstances have been brought to light, and the body was ex- humed and an autopsy will be held. The minister was asked to account for some money belonging to the church. which he failed to do. and he resigned his pastorate and left for Philadelphia, where he was arrested.

King of Bank Robber. Confe..e..

James B. Dunlap, the leader of several bands of bank burglars, one of which some time ago robbed the Northamp- ton CMass.) bank of S1.000,o00, con fessed at Watseka, Ills, to footing Pate's bank at Wellington, Ills, on March g last. He has been in jail in Watseka ev- CT since last April, when he was captur- ed in Chicago, but until now has denied his guilt. Finally, however, he pleaded guilty, and Judge Hilscher sentenced him to 20 years imprisonment, the extreme limit for robbery. He will be taken to Joliet at once. James B. Dunlap. known for many years as the king of bank rob bers, was arrested in Chicago on March q last by Central station detectives. He was found living in luxurious apartments In Wabash avenue near Twenty-third street and was arrested on his return from footing Pate's bank at Wellington, Ills.

BattIeship ordered to smyrna.

Orders of a significant character in con nection with the fruitless attempts to secure payment of the S90,oo0 demand ed of Turkey for the destruction of the American property in the Armenian trou- bles have been issued by the navy de- partment. A telegram was sent to Ma pies to be delivered to Captain c. NJ. Chester of the battleship Kentucky on his arrival there, directing that the Ken lucky touch at Smyrna. Turkey. Beyond this fact no information concerning Cap tain Chester's instructions is obtainable. Smyrna was not on the original itinerary of the Kentucky. Since the controversy with the Turkish government over the Armenian claim became acute American warships proceeding to and from the Philippines have by specific directions carefully avoided Turkish ports. The important bearing on the indemnity ques- tion of the orders to the most powerful vessel of the American navy to stop at Smyrna at this time cannot therefore be overlooked.

ANTlVlCE CRUSADE.
Police Captain and Inspector to Bs
 Tried.


 New York, Nov. 21.-The board of po- lice commissioners has ordered charges preferred against Inspector Adam A. Cross and Captain John B. Herlihy.
 That the two officers are to be pro- ceeded against in no lenient manner is demonstrated by the fact that Bishop Potter has been requested to name counsel to assist in the prosecution and the further fact that Edward M. Shep- ard and w. NJ. K. Oleott are to represent the police board in sustaining the charges
 Inspector Cross will be compelled to meet the charges of neglect of duty in that he permitted precincts within his inspection district to reek with vice and the further charge of conduct unbecom- ing an officer.
 Captain Herlihy is accused of conduct unbecoming an officer and of negleeting to enforce the law in his precinct.
 Having provided for the prosecution of Inspector Cross and Captain Herlihy. the police board informed Mayor Van Wyck of their action and then instructed Pres ident York to communicate with Bishop Potter. requesting the latter 10 place before them any evidence which he may have against the two accused officers or against any other member of the police force.
 After the adjournment of the police board, 1t is said, a misunderstanding arose between Chief of Police Devery and President York. At headquarters it was intimated that charges of as serious a nature as those against Inspector Cross may also be brought against Chief Dev- cry. The latter has refused to remove Cross or Herlihy from duty pending the hearing of the charges against them. and in doing this he has incurred the dis pleasure of President York

KRUGER'S PLANS.
One Report That He May Appeal
 Directly to Queen Victoria.


 Directly to Queen Victoria.
 London, Nov. 21.-The special corre- spondents at Marseilles send long stories of the preparations for the reception of ex-President Kruger, interviews with persons who are in the city to welcome him, etc. They give the impression that none of the Boer officials in Europe knows what Mir. Kruger proposes to do. Everything is awaiting his arrival. One correspondent gained the impression in conversing with Boers that there might be coup de theatre in the form of a direct appeal from Mir. Kruger to Queen Victoria.
 Another correspondent sends a long in terview with Mir. Vessels, one of the Boer delegates. in the course of which the latter said in reference to seeking aid in Europe:
 "We must try everywhere. If we fail, we'll, then" shrugging his shoulders, we may have to submit, but it is our duty to try everywhere"
 There is much gossip concerning where Mir. Kruger is to reside while he is in Europe. Some of the Boer officials main tain that he will certainly return to South Africa and eventually to the Transvaal. Dr. Muller, ex-envoy of the Orange Free State to The Hague, says it will be impossible for him to return.

Smallpox In PekfnU.

Sanitary conditions in Picking are seri- ous. Since the foreign occupation many Chinese have died of smallpox and other infectious diseases. Fearing that their funerals would be interfered with, they have kept most of the coffins containing their dead in their houses and court yards. The question of removing garbage has become one of grave importance. As the natives are forbidden to deposit ref use in the streets, there Is now an enor- nous accumulation in their dwellings and yards, which threatens a serious epidem- ie. In view of the large number of troops in and near the capital, the con sequences of such an outbreak would be frightful. Smallpox. which is always prevalent, is much more malignant dur ing the winter season, and the danger here Is now alarmingly increased.

In Farge and the Waiting Coupe.

MT. John La Farge, the artist who lives at Newport. has all the eccentric ity that is said by the wise to be part of genius. The late Bishop Brooks of Boston was very fond of La Farge. and they were excellent friends, but he hit off the latter's eccentricity In a single sentence.
 Bishop Brooks and a friend were coming out of church where the art ist was decorating a great window. The friend walked toward handsome coupe that was standing in the rain and said. "I suppose this Is your car riage. bishopT
 Dear me, nov' said the bishop. 'I always walk. That's a livery carriage waiting for La Fargo"
 But La Fargo" said the friend, "has been working In the church all day and will continue to work until night"
 ''I know" said the bishop, his whim- sical smile drawing the corner of his mouth. "but La Farge can never work very well unless he knows he's keeping a carriage waiting for.him somewhere" Saturday Evening Post. -..-.

American Shipping.

The report of Commissioner of Nsyi- gation Chamberlain says the past tis- cal year has been the most prosperous period known to American shipping for some years. Returns for the current fis- cal year promise an even more satisfac- tory record. For the first time since the civil war the documented tonnar. of the United States exceeds 5.0o0.000 gross tons. On June 30, 1900, American docu- mented tonnage comprised 23.333 vessels of 5.164, ,S39 gross tons, an increase of 300,O00 tons over the previous fiscal year. Our maximum tonnage was 5.539. Sl3 tons in 1861. Our shipping, the report adds, in 1861 was larger than Great Brit aims and nearly equaled the British em- pire's. British shipping now amounts to II, ,26I 900 gross tons.
