STONE WALL
Attacked By a Lunatic Who
Thought 1t Surround
ed Peking.

Chicago Chronicle.-Officer Farrell,
Of the Hyde Park Police Station, was
attracted early yesterday morning by
cries Of Surrender" Down with the
Boxers" 'Hurrah for the United
States" and many similar exclama-
tions. He investigated, and found John
Anderson making vigorous attacks on
the Illinois Central stone wall at Forty
fifth street and Lake avenue with a
heavy club. Farrell took the man in
custody, and when taken to the police
station he gave his name as John An
derson, formerly of the Kankakee in
sane asylum. He was asked what
he was trying to do to the stone wall
and he stood very erect, saying:
"That wall surrounds the great Chi
nese city Of Peking, and was trying
to break it down to save the American
consuls in there. If had broken In
would have spoiled lot of the yellow
boxers"
The club he carried was three feet
long and weighed about nine pounds,
and he had a pocket in the right leg Of
his trousers in which to carry 1t.

MUST WEAR HATS.
Catholic Bishop Gives Scrip.
tural Authority For
His Ruling.

Trenton, N. J., Aug. 25.-Bishop Nc
Faul, of the Catholic diocese of Tren-
ton, has issued the edict that women
attending service at the cathedral and
all other Catholic institutions Of q
religious character in the city. must
wear hats. The custom OF attending
church with their heads uncovered
had become. 30 popular with the
women of Trenron that in the. vast
congregations that assemble at ST..
Mary's Cathedral on Sundays there
were not 50 women with hats on their
heads. Explaining the action Of the
bishop, one of his assistant priests
says: 1T was an ancient law Of the
Jews to shave the locks from the head
of female convicted Of certain kinds
of crime, and st. Paul likens the
woman who enters church without a
head covering to one Of these shorn
criminals. He says: Every woman
praying or singing psalms not covered
disgraceth her head, for 1t Is alone as
II she were snorn.'"

What the Figures

Washington, Aug. A.-The population
Of Ohio's four largest cities, according
to the Federal census of 1900, is as fol-
lows: Cleveland, Ss1,76s; Cincinnati,
1876, ,sO2; Toledo, 1882; Columbus. 1885,
$50. The official count of the returns
from Cleveland, Toledo and Columbus
was completed about $3.50 p. m. Thurs
day. Cleveland's population, 3S1, ,76S, is
an increase since 1890, Of 120. AIS, or 46.07
per cent.
Cleveland, as has been shown abso-
lutely in the official count Of the Gin
cinnati returns was announced three
and q half weeks ago. Is now the un-
disputed metropolis Of Ohio. Cincin-
natl occupies second place. Toledo,
which stood fourth in 1890. Is now in
third place. having passed Columbus,
which has dropped to fourth place.
The population Of Toledo in 1890 was
S1,434, the increase during tie last ten
years being 50,3sS, or 61.SS per cent. In
1880, according to the Federal census,
the Maumee city contained 50,137 peo-
pie, the growth during the ensuing de-
cadA having been 31,297, or 62.42 per
cent. sl n
Cleveland is now the seventh city
In point Of population in the United
States. having jumped from thirteenth
since 1880. and from tenth since 1890.
The cities that now exceed Cleveland
in the number of Inhabitants are New
York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston,
Baltimore anu st. Louis During the
decade ending with 1890 Cleveland
passed Washington and New Orleans,
and in the last ten years has outstrip-
ped Cincinnati and San Francisco. The
1900 returns from the last named city
have not been computed yet, but
there Is no doubt that the total will
not reach that Of Cleveland.
One of the most important duties
which congress will have to perform
during the coming short session, which
begins next December, will be to pass
a reapportionment act, based on the
Federal census Of 1900. The present
. ratio is about $4,000 population to one
2member Of the house Of representa-
tives. In all probability the numer-
,ical size Of the districts will be in
creased. If the increase is to 100, 900,
which now is regarded as the maxi
mum, the city Of Cleveland will be en-
titled to two congressman

Lost HIS Birthmark.

An amusing incident took place at the
Grand Central station few weeks ago.
A portly man with clothes of foreign cut,
outlandish baggage and decided German
brogue bought ticket for western point
and then bought sleeping berth and
waited for his train to be announced. As
soon as it was called he got into line, oc-
cupied much space with all his bags and
bundles and made people in front and be-
hind him uncomfortable. He had no
sooner reached the platform than he
dropped his baggage and freight and pushed
his way back into the waiting room, ran
up to the police officer and cried breath
lessly

Pay as You Go.

John Randolph-the famous e'Ran-
dolph of Roanoke once said /: ~ have
found the philosopher stone. 1t consists
of four short words pay as you go "
No sentence has ever been formulated
that means more if correctly applied than
this one of four words If it were applied
on every farm in this country it would
mean more than words can express. 1t
would save worry in waking hours and
nights of wakefulness. Pay as you go,
and the dollar in your pocket is your own,
the man you buy of gives you his lowest
price, and no man has claim on your
purse, which may be pressed at time
when you are unable to meet or must make
a sacrifice to do SO.
Nearly every one who reads those words
will be able to call to mind some one who
always pays spot cash. Such man may be
called close buyer, storekeepers and 9TH
ers with goods to sell may not have high
opinion of him because they have no op-
portunity to press the sale of their mer-
chandise under the specious plea that it can
be paid for at a more convenient season,
the buyer often forgetting that the conve-
nient season to pay debt contracted for
this reason alone rarely comes. 1t is the
small debts that worry, for large ones are
contracted cautiously, and these should
never be made The man who pays spot
cash almost invariably has money for his
needs, and if he has not the money he
does not buy, and at the end of the year
is just as well off in every way. "Long
credits make bad friends,' is good old
Scotch saying that should be kept in mind.
The time, and the prices never become
less because it is charged to an account.
We well remember an old man who
grew rich by never going in debt. 1t vas
known that he always had money in his
pocket, and the neighbors could sell him
stock or grain in pinch and get cash for
it, and on such occasions they usually made
price that led to profit for the buyer,
and he was not niggardly at such times.
A thrifty steer not quite ready for market,
colt year too young to sell, bunch of
growing shoats and things of all that sort
were offered to him and paid for at a sat
isfactory valuation. These he finished for
market and made good profit on, for he
was as careful with his stock as with his
money. With forty acres to begin with,
he never added an acre to his farm. He
lived simply but well, and died respected,
leaving his two children the forty acres of
land and S12, 900 in cash in the hands of
those of his neighbors who did not follow
Randolph's advice. At 80 years of age
he had CHEEKY voice and placid temper,
due, no doubt, to great extent because
he had never been worried by small debts.

How to Invest $1,000.
J. Harsen Rhodes, President of the Greenwich
Savings Bank in the N. Y. Sunday World.

The wisest way to invest one or two
thousand dollars is, of course, to keep
it in the saving banks provided for that
purpose.
The average man or woman lacks the
business training and wide knowledge of
financial matters necessary to the profta-
BILE investment of capital. The savings
bank is absolutely the only safe place for
the deposit of small sums. The rate of
interest paid may seem small when com
pared with that promised by dishonest
spectators, but the little income is at least
certain.
When a man has saved $1,000 or
SO by self-denial and industry he is con-
stantly met by the temptation to invest it
in some speculative enterprise which offers
dazzling inducements.
No legislative measure is more urgent
than one which will protect the people
against bogus speculators. The Legisla-
ture of the State of New York should take
action as soon as possible in this matter;
there is no law existing at present by which
this most reprehensible form of dishonesty
may be prevented.
In savings bank depositors have the
Judgment of a competent board of direc-
tors at their service State regulations
prevent the money from being used for
speculative purposes and allow only certain
kinds of investment which are known to
be safe.
Young men are often advised to go to
some new country to be begin business,
but my opinion is that geography has little
to do with success New York offers just
as many inducements to an ambitious young
man with small capital as Arizona or any
Western State. No matter in what part
of the world man lives he will find that
the virtues of thrift, economy and industry
lead to success, and their opposites lead to
failure.
To the young man would say Save
little money every week. Deposit it
where it will be safe and at your COM
mand. When the right opportunity ar
>rives invest it in a business of which you
will have personal control Avoid debt
and the allurements of speculation Move
ahead step by step, establishing regula-
ton for reliability and integrity.

A Judge on Pardons.
From the Kansas city Correspondence

From the Kansas City Correspondence.
In sentencing Levi Moore to SO years in
the penitentiary, Judge John w. Wof-
ford, Of the Criminal Court, recently made
some remarkable statements. Among other
things he said:
..When you go down to the penitentiary
behave yourself and some fool Governor,
who wishes to distinguish himself for phil
anthropy, benevolence and kindness, may
pardon you. Yours is an extraordinary
case, and some Governor may think he can
become distinguished by pardonins you
Therefore the jury did you great benefit
not to hang you. They have given you
chance to be pardoned.
I'VE have had examples lately Of Gov
ernors seeking to become heroes by par
don;ng murderers and criminals in this
State The hero factory has been work
ing overtime in the last eighteen months.
If man can become hero by wading a
river with the water up to his shirt tail,
why can't a Governor become hero by
pardoning you ?

Crops on Mortgaged Land.


Chief Judge McSherry in the Court Of
Appeals last week delivered an important
opinion in the case of Edward Wootten VS..
Hulda A. White, appealed from the Cir
cult Court for Montgomery county. The
question in the case is this: Can mort
gagor, whose mortgage is in default, plant
a crop and then execute a bill of sale Of
that crop to third person and thereby
deprive the purchaser of the mortgaged
farm from claiming the growing crop, if
the farm be sold under the mortgage while
the crop is still growing? The vendee
under the bill of sale brought an action of
trover against the purchaser of the farm
for the value of the crop. The crcp was
planted when the mortgage was overdue.
The mortgagor sold the crop by bill of
sale to the person who furnished the fer
tilizer with which there crop was planted.
Before the crop was ripe and before it was
harvested, the mortgages sold the farm
under the mortgage and the purchaser at
that sale afterward cut the crop and still
holds it. The Court holds that the execution
of bill of sale BY mortgagor does not
constructively sever the crop from the land,
and that as the crop was actually growing
and was annexed to the land at the time
the land was sold it passed with the land to
the purchaser and that the latter's right
to it is superior to the right claimed by the
vendor of the fertilizer under the bill of
sale. If the mortgage had not been fore
closed until after the crop had been cut by
the mortgagor or his vendee, the title
which the bill of sale conveyed would have
been good Every person who buys crop
growing on mortgaged land is liable to have
his title to the crop defeated if the mort
gage be foreclosed and the land with the
crop growing on it be sold before the crop
is actually severed and cut. Though a
growing crop is for many purposes treated
and regarded as personal property, yet
until it is actually cut and severed from the
land it forms part of the mortgagee's
security for the payment of the debt due
to him, and he cannot be deprived of that
security if he forecloses the mortgage and
sells the land while the crop is still standing.
This is new question in Maryland and
the decision of the Court is Of general in
terest and great Importance.

An inventor has discovered an artful
means by which an approaching torpedo
boat may avoid detection from warship's
searchlight. His innovation consists of
huge light mirror, to be set up in frame
at the bow of the torpedo boat when an
enemy is to be attacked under cover of
darkness. This mirror is tilted forward
at its upper extremity. What is the re-
suit? When the rays of the inquiring
searchlight fash across the mirror they are
not reflected, and the lookout man on
board the vessel threatened sees but the
waves in front of the torpedo boat pictured
in the inclined looking glass. BY this
means, it is anticipated, says Cassell's
Saturday Journal, the torpedo boat will be
able to get near enough to use its tubes
before it is discovered. Only when very
close would the outline of the mirror be
revealed

"Another result of modern high pressure

shows that the driving of immature brains does not
