There was a man Ia our town,

And he was WandrOuS wise,
He needed clothes, looked through
our stock
And found them just his size,
And when he found how nice they fit,
With all his might and main.
He swore aloud before the crowd
That he would call again.
And he did call, bought the suit,
also an over coat, cap and a pair OF
those fine shoes. We fitted him all
from head to foot at a cost less than

At the convention Of the Nationall

The "cOlor line" question was precipi-

Some months ago the secretary of thei

CHINESE EMPEROR KILLED.
Forced to Take Poison by Prince

Tuan, Leader of "Boxers."
Shanghai: Emperor Kwang Su COM
mitted suicide by taking opium under
compulsion of Prince Tuan June ~. The
empress dowager also took poison, but is
still alive, though reported to be insane
from the effects of the drug. The above
has been officially reported to the German
consular staff.
Three Chinese servants who escaped
from Pekin report that all the foreigners,
1000 in number, including 400 soldiers, 100
members of the Chinese customs staff and
a number of American women and chill
dren, held out till their ammunition was
exhausted in the British legation. The
legation was finally burned and all the
foreigners were killed.
London: The commanders of the allies
in Tien Tsin inform correspondents that
it would be suicidal to attempt to reach
Pckin with the troops now available in the
face of the colossal force of imperial troops
and Boxers occupying the country be-
tween lien Tsin and Pekin. SO far from
taking the offensive. the $1,000 interna-
tional troops at Tien Tsin and the 5000
others at TaEu and intermediate points
can barely keep up communications. fight
ing incessantly with overwhelming NUM-
bers using far more numerous artillery
than the allies.
This telegram has been received:
Shanghai, July 4, 11:3O a. M: Tien Tsin
city fell between I and s O'Clock on the
morning of June 80.
1t is understood that Shanghai undoubt"
eddy referred to the native city of Tien
Tsin, from which the Chinese have been
bombarding the foreign quarter, and the
dispatch is taken to mean that the allies
are now more than holding their own.
Official news received ut Che Foo shows
that the Chinese have been guilty of horri-
BILE cruelty toward the wounded and cap
tured, subjccting them to what is known as
ling che, or the slicing process. Under this
hideous practice the bodies of the fallen
are mutilatcd.

'ataIIty at IL Fire in PittSburs
Caused 10y Falling Floors.
Pittsburg: %Pittsburg's down town
business section was visited by another fire
Sunday, the second within IL week. AS a
result four men are dead and six others are
in hospitals suffering from injuries which
may prove fatal.
The fire was one of the most stubborn
and hard to fight that the firemen had had
to contend with for years. lis origin was
In the basement of 7. G.. Evans d Co.'S
china and glassware establishment IN
Fifth Avenue, between Wood and Market
Streets. The cause is supposed to have
been a spark from IL steam roller at work
on the asphalt street in front of the store
falling through the basement ventila,or
into a box of excelsior.
AT 5:3O p. M, when all danger seemed to
have passed. ten members Of tile fire de-
partment were working on the second
floor knee deep in water. 1t appears that
the weight OF the water, with the already
heavy burden the floor was carrying in the
shape of the big jewelers. safes of Goddard,
Hill & Co., was too much, and it gave way.
In its plunge down 1t dragged the third
floor along with it, clear through to the
cellar. The tircmcn were buried deep I'm.
