One day during the present week 4
smooth stranger appeared at the home
of well known parties in town and
asked to see the family glassware.
He represented himself as a glass
blower, who knew all the secrets of
the profession, and had preparation
with which he mended broken and
Clipped ware so neatly that the flaw
could not be detected. His simple.
straightforward manner and re-
spectacle appearance completely cap
tivated the household, and soon
all the injured crystal was
arraved for his inspection. Two or
three places were given as references
where he had done work, and he said
the job in hand would not cost over 81.
This seemed only a fair remuneration
and he was given permission to pro-
coed.
Needed Money.
With some reluctance he con-
fessed that he really hadn't money
enough TO buy the ingredients neces-
sary for his mixture. so the lady of
the home FASTENED to advance him

humility and promise to run all the
way to purchase the necessary ingre-
dents. But he forgot to return. 1t
has since been learned that he was
mistaken in his references, those to
whom he referred knowing nothing
about him. The lady of the house
also remembers, with feeling of I'M
easiness, the interested air with which
he regarded the valuables about the
place. and now keeps an eye out for
burglars.

make him a new man. All over China
the people are awake today The whis-
tie Of the locomotive is heard in the
land, and the syndicates Of all nations
are bidding against each other for the
right to open mines and to build rail-
roads. China will be gridironed with
railroads. In this country the railway
is the pioneer of settlement IL pene-
trates the wilderness, and the people
follow on behind. In China the pOpula-
tion is already there, and the passenger
traffic is something enormous The
Pekin and Teintsin railway is eighty
miles long. Il runs four passenger
trains each way every day which are
crowded This railway was clearing
10000 taels a month when l left Pc
kin, in 1898. Our own trade has recent
ly been going up by leaps and bounds.
We sold to China last year twice as
many piece goods as we sold the year
before, and the statistics of the cur
rent year will show still greater sales.
Develop mines, send goods into the in
terior and the Chinaman will buy.

ENcouRAGEp RY DEWEY.

The Washington representative OF a
Philadelphia anti-administration news
paper is, through the paper, authority
for the statement that the Boston Anti
Imperialist League is in receipt, from
Aguinaldo, of 500 copies of his mani
festo. pretending to relate the true
history" of his negotiations with Ad-
miral Dewey and other official repre-
sentatives of the United States, all of
whom, he alleges, promised Philippine
independence.
Although Admiral Dewey and others
whom the Tagal dictator pretends to
quote have denied that they made the
statements alleged, the Boston traitors
continue to disseminate them as true.
It is a demonstration of our too
great liberty, that traitors are thus
permitted in cur own country to ac-
lively render aid to our enemies who
are engaged in war against us.
The same correspondents makes the
extraordinary statement that the can
didacy OF Admiral Dewey for the presi-
dency Is accepted by the Tagals as a
hopeful and encouraging prospect, and
that they announce their determine
tion to renew the yigor Of their re-
sistance, in confidence that if Dewey is
elected the islands will be accorded in
dependence under protection of the
United States.
