by saying: 81 was n foolish young girl
then" She is the daughter of an en-
pert chemist, who lived in fine house
on Huron street.
When the Haymarket riots occurred
she was only II years old, and fell in
love with Spies when she saw him at
the preliminary hearing. She became a
constant visitor to the courtroom, al
ways elegantly dressed. She made no
secret of her infatuation, sending flow
ers and meals from expensive restau-
rants to the Jail. Her parents made
no effort to break off the attachment.
When Spies asked her to marry him
she consented, but the sheriff inter-
fered. 1t was then decided to use a
proxy, and Miss Van Zandt was mar
ried to Chris Spies, acting for his
brother. The girl continued her visits
to the Jail, and used every endeavor
to save her proxy husbands life. For
a long time after the anarchists death
Miss Van Zandt shut herself up in her
home on Huron street, and denied her.
self to all callers. She had marble
bust Of Spies made.

This Is what the Fair Samaritan saw
after she had climbed the dark stairs
behind the store and peeped into room
that was in semi-darknesS, while she
repressed Lee Chung with a warning
finger that enforced silence. 1t was a
room of considerable dimensions, with
low ceiling. The windows were
SO ill-placed, besides being barricaded
that the room was in twilight gloom,
although the day was bright without.
It's furniture was curiously disposed
close against the walls, thus leaving a
wide space in its midst. And in the
room the woman Suey Yep was taking
part with the little Lee Moy in what
was evidently daily occurrence.
With palms folded suppliantly before
her, she regarded Lee Moy with a look
of ineXpresslble love tinged with sad.

with toy whip, and shouting angrily,
his language being punctuated by
strong Anglo-Saxon expletives.
"D-n you, mother! Why cometh not

She submitted with the patience of
an Oriental to the imperious language
Of my lord, her Man-Child.
"Oh, son of mine," she replied, with
Infinite tenderness; "the sun is still at
Pekin, drying his hair-for he hath but
now risen from his ocean bed. When
he hath had his morning meal, and
washed his face with dew and decked
himself with marigolds, he will mount
clouds of purple and gold and amber
and come to San Francisco"
"Do they of Pekin see more Of him

Yes, son-oh, would we were therew
she sobbed; "for the sun always shines
there, but here it is mostly dark"
1--WE will go there, mother, at once!
He held up his hand for his mother to
take.
But it is a long and stony road from
here to Pekin, and we must eat and
drink before we start"
She led him to little table, and set
cakes before him, and a cup of tea
which she fortified with q generous
draught of sam shu.
When he had satisfied his appetite
she prepared him another cup similarly
sophisticated and set it before him.
Drink once more" she said, "for

shall have no more tchah (tea) till we

And the little man drank as he was

A GOVERNMENT JOB.

1t Very Often Saps the Energy of Its
Holder.
The narcotic effect of government
employment is notorious, explains an
Eastern newspaper writer, but, as in
other cases, the victim of the sedative
habit does not believe and cannot real
ize its power until it is too late.
There Is a certain fascination to the
old and hardened to watch the young
struggle against their fate. The same
sensations may be secured by observ-
ing the operations on a sheet of fly
paper. The victim is "foot loose" and
is looking around for favorable open
ing. In the meantime it seems desir-
able to have some temporary lodgment
-standing-room, as it were-until the
delayed opening appears. So the fly
steps into the soft Government stick.
um. At first it does not seem so bad,
and it Is only when he feels his feet
sinking that he decides to quit. But
this he finds 1t not so easy. He pauses
and begins to cast about for a little
leverage or way to wade out. In the
operation he tangles up another men,
Der or two. By this time he suspects
that the danger Is serious and buzzes
frantlcally. The result is the same,
and while he is resting from the exer-
tion he tangles up one wing. The other
waves for a while, the emblem of a
disappointed and hopeless ambition,
now and then buZzing about the time
to come when he will quit the Gov
ernment fly paper and enter business
or profession. Then he rents larger
house and his wife takes few friends
to board. His body Is submerged in
the Government glue and he is in the
Government service for life.
AS Secretary of the Civil Service
Commission Mr.. Doyle has had oppor-
tunity to observe the number of Gov
ernment employees who leave the SER
vice for other occupations and then re-
turn to it. "a few years ago." said
Mr.. Doyle, "my attention was called to
man by the excellence of the exami-
nation which he passed. He secured

signed. He had saved money and was
going to Yale College. After four years
l heard he had graduated and was
studying law. Then l heard he had
been admitted and had gone to New
York to practice. And just the other
day." he continued, "the man came in
and made application to take the ex-
animation for his old place In the de-
partment."

But nothing could induce them to sell.

rusty swords that reminded me of the
unwieldly, double-bladed monsters that
Richard Occur de Lion and his knights

These Muscat swords are four feet six

wide, and the handles provide room
for both fists to grasp. Law is an un-

The average loss by fire in the United
States has been reduced in ten years
from $G,922 to $1,SG0. The insurance
loss in the same period was reduced
from $3,993 to $1,056.
The prevailing use Of electricity has
brought about large increase in fires,
owing to crossed wires. Ten years ago
there were only sixty-siX such fires and
last year there were 95S.
Defective fues are responsible for
over II per cent of the fires and incen-
diarism is next as a cause. Last year
G,S91 incendiary fires occurred. Light
n.ng caused 3.479, spontaneous combus-
ton 1,179, friction in machinery 205,

five were caused by the suns rays pass
ing through window gass. There
was no assignable causes for 12,2Oi

MALADIEs OF TELEeRAPHERs.
Subject to tuberculosis, Heart Trouble
and Brain Congestion,

subject to tuberculosis, Heart Trouble
and Brain Congestion.
Telegraph operators are kept In a
constant state Of cerebral tension"
says Mr.. Hui, President Of the Railway
and Telegraph Workers Union. "They
are exposed to great number of mala-
dies, and it can well be said that their
work Is dangerous. A telegraph oper-
ator reads better with his ears tnan
with his eyes. He carries out an es-
sentially mental operation by using
the nerves of hearing. This faculty is
consequently h.ghly developed in his
case. In the ordinary work of reading
twenty words a minute the telegraph
operator must distinguish $50 alternate
strokes or intervals, and when there
is a rush Of work this figure can go as
high as 400. There is also the trans
forming the sounds into Wis. BILE SYM
bols, or writing, which implies another
mental process. And whereas the nor
NAL amount of varied sensatory i'm
pulses per minute is 120, the telegraph
operator has to accomplish $50 to 45O.
without taking extreme cases into
consideration, it may be said that the
sense Of hearing in a telegraph oper-
ator Is two and half times more pow
erful than in an ordinary individual.
Again, in telegraphy the continuity of
the nervous stimulation, the monotony
of sounds and the fiXity of attention
are further causes of exhaustion. 1t
is found also that during forced work
the telegraph operators breathing is
affected, his hearts action precipitated
and his brain congested AS result
OF these phenomena it is noticeable
that general decline Of the organism
follows, ending in tuberculosis"
According to Mr.. Hull, the ordinary
death rate for tuberculosis is 1873:
that of telegraph operators Is 1866. And
what Is true of tuberculosis applies to
other affections of the respiratory or
gans. The general death rate for the
latter is 3.5, but it rises to 1874 among
telegraph operators between Is and %
years Of age, to 23.1 between % and SO
years Of age, instead of 40, and to II,
instead of 3d. between the ages of 80
and 45. From 45 years upward it de-
clines, being 4.3, instead of SO, but
this diminution is very delusive, seeing
that it is due to the elimination of the
weak members who have died off in the
preceding years. 1t becomes more
marked with increasing age. Between
90 and 60 it stands at O5, instead of
6.4 and above Go at 0.4, instead of 80.
But these are not the only affections to
which telegraph operators are liable.
The nervous tension which they endure
often gives rise to a state requiring
immediate withdrawal from their
work.

WELL-KNOWN SALOON MAN EX-
PIRES IN PHILADELPHIA HOS
PITAL.
Edward Holland, saloon-keeper Of
No. SIT East Fourth street, died sud-
denly Of pneumonia at the Medico-
.Chirurgical Hospital, Philadelphia, yes
terday.
Mr.. Holland had been i'll for some
time, and on Saturday last was taken
to the Philadelphia institution for
treatment. News Of his death was re-
ceived here yesterday, and was a great
shock to his family and his friends
Upon learning of her sons death Mrs.
Margaret Holland and her daughter at
once went to Philadelphia, and the
body will be brought here for inter
ment
The deceased was about 2S years Of
age, and was one of the most popular
and well-known men in the liquor
business in. Wilmington. His mother,
two sisters and two brothers survive
him.
The death of MIR. Holland occurring
on the same day that Thomas p. Keat-
ing was buried recalls peculiar CO.
incidence.
Abou tsix months ago Samuel Keat-
ing, brother of Thomas p. Heating, was
inferred, and on the same day Michael
F. Holland, brother of Edward l. Hol-
land, died. The families of the de-
ceased have been friends for a long
time
Mr.. Holland was in some respecst
peculiarly unfortunate. Some months
ago during a shooting match in South
Wilmington he was shot in the face
thought not seriously injured
Shortly after that, while returning
from New Castle by trolley, his hat
blew Off and in attempting 10 recover
It he fell from the car and was left un.
conscious along the road. He was pick
ed up later and taken home, where be
was confined for several days as the re.
suit of his injuries.
At the time the floor of a room in the
Hotel Western gave way under th'
weight of a crowd. which was receiv
ing returns from the Jeffries-F -Fitzsim.
mons fight, Mr.. Holland was among the
first to go down, but escaped injury.
