Door Through Which Kruger Els.
capped Ia Still Open.
London, Sept. Is. - All conclusions
based upon the announcement of Kru-
gers arrival in neutral territory are
premature, since the door which he is
reported to have retired from the
Transvaal remains open. If, Gen.
French has occupied Baerton and the
British columns are advancing. toward
Koomatipoort, the door may be closed
within week and Botha released from
all obligation to keep his burghers in
the field. Butler is pressing on after
Botha over the mountains, but has
captured abandoned stores rather than
commanders in arms, and French is
still a long way from Koomatipoort.
Beers Fighting.
Lord Roberts reports from Macha-
,iodorp, under date Of Sept. IL. that
Gen. French was heavily engaged that
day with the Beers in the hills west
of Barberton. and that Gen. Hutton
had gone to Gen. French's support.

Marking has population of 400, 900
inhabitants. 1t is a treaty port in
virtue of treaty made with France in
1858, in which England participated
under the "most favored nation"
clause, but the slow-going Chinese
have not had time to open it until the
present. The chief products of Nan
king are satin, crepe, nankeen cloth,
paper, pottery, and artificial flowers.
1t has also been one of the best arse

ropeans, where cannons and warships
Of the latest types are made. On the
hills near Marking coal, plumbago,
iron ore and marble are found. The
city is surrounded by wall ninety
six Ii (thirtytwo miles) in circumfer-
ence. The section of the Marking city
wall on the inside is larger than the
great wall of China. 1t is about fifty
to 100 feet high, and about the same in
thickness (the gateways being 200 to
300 feet thick, and about 100 feet
high. 1t is built of large bricks and
is kept in good repair. A second wall
existed, encircling the north, east and
south sides of the city proper, forming
the inner city, nominally inhabited by
the Manchu garrison only. The Chi
nese cities are supposed to lie four
square, but the walls show deliberate
curves and irregularities exacted by
the superstitious laws of Tung-Shui.
The gates are never opposite one an
other, preventive from evil winds
and spirits making a dash through the
city and carrying everything in their
destructive currents. 1t is hard to
decide the mooted question whether
Marking is not the filthiest city in the
empire, for every other city in China
is jealous of its pre-eminence in Of
fensiveness to the senses. The Of
ficials entrusted with public sanitation
look upon their office as a lucrative
and exclusive monopoly. They de-
fend their forbidden ground inch by
inch against the intrusion of citizens
upon their .prerogatives, and will not
allow any encroachment of private mi
tiative on the premises of their Of
fee.

Noble Career
Ended.

Miss Charlotte Mulligan of Buffalo,
whose death is recorded. was in many
| respects remarkable woman. She
| read character with almost unerring
certainty, and had wonderful capa-
city for governing and controlling the
hayward and unruly. 1t may truly be
said of her that her life work was car
ing for and helping the tramp and the
outlaw, for her educational work
among the tramps and homeless
wretches of Buffalo began when she
was IA, and had Sunday school class
of street boys. From year to year her
work grew, until she had had now for
many years an army of men who either
| feared or loved her, with whom she
! had dealt after her own system of re.
form. She planned out kind of home
| (but it was her kind of home always,
in Buffalo. where she received every
desperate or homeless man that chose
to apply. She satisfied herself as to
his character and intentions, and then
did all she could to reform and help
him in finding work and breaking off
bad habits. A certain limit of time
was allowed him. and all possible as
sistance. was offered. To the unfor-
tunate that time was extended, but not
for the lazy and vicious. For many
years she had Sunday home little
out of the city, where she sent the pro-
bationers, with injunctions to battle,
and with permission to amuse them
selves the rest of the day; the bathing
was absolutely required, the occupa-
lions for the rest of the day were OPP
tional
She was absolutely fearless, honest,
and kind, and her home was known far
and wide: the unfortunates flocked to
her, the tramp listened to her instruc-
tons, and for at least so long as he was
under her influence, obeyed her. The
men she had helped were proud to
speak of themselves as miss Multi
gan's men," they formed among them
selves guard of honor'' who were
her lieutenants, and the Guards of
Honor building was put up with money
given for the purpose. Here she had
classes, where mental, moral and in
dustrial education went increasingly
on. She organized an orchestra, OF
which she was the conductor, and she
gave frequent concerts. It has been
said that Charlotte Mulligan had help
ed 100000 men. This may perhaps be
somewhat of-an exaggeration, but she
undoubtedly had strong personal in
duence over what amounted in number
to an army Of men. And she was not
only engrossed but perfectly happy in
her self-eleoted task.

The genial Jap will take his slipper
off as you depart and say, with a
smile: "You are going to leave my

The German "lebe wohl' is not par

The Fiji islanders cross two red

The ''auf wiedersehen" of the Aus
trians is the most feeling expression
of farewell.
The Cuban would consider his good
by anything but a cordial one unless
he was given a good cigar. The South

known. Knowing from experience that
the mother would have little faith in
the efficacy of soap and water alone, the
doctor wisely added that she should put
a certain amount of salt in the water.
The use of salt in this way being entire
ly new to the mother, she would natur-
ally conclude that this alone was the
curative agent and obey the doctors di-
rections. AS the woman was about to
leave, the doctor, as was her custom,
repeated the directions, saying: Nov,
remember to give the baby the bath of
soap and water and salt every day."
The woman looked up and asked:
"Please, lady, ken put little sugar in
it, too?"
"Sugar?" said the astonished doctor.
'Why do you want to put sugar in it?"
"'Cause the baby won't take nothin'
that amt got sugar in.''
And then only did the bewildered
physician realize that she had unwit-
tingly said: "Give the baby the BATH"
To the mother the word "give" meant
to feed, and the baby's salvation is
probably due to the fact that it had al
ways so ostrenuously objected to taking
anything that did not have sugar in it.

MISS TUNISON AT WORK.

She never requires the assistance of
anybody, and all the work she turns
out is done strictly by herself.
When Miss Tunison is at work she is
seated in a chair which has been spe-
cially made for her. From the arm of
the chair rises metal rod which sup
ports a small wooden table, and it is
upon the table that all the work is
done.
In spite of her af1iction, Fannie al
ways has cheerful word for visitors
Indeed, it is her greatest pleasure to re-
ceive company, and she is never so
happy as when she can show off her
wonderful powers.
In appearance Fannie differs some
what from the ordinary mortal. Ow-
ing to the excessive use of her tongue,
the muscles of the neck are extremely
well developed and stand out thick and
prominent. Her eyes, too, have a
languid look about them and roll, when
she speaks, in peculiar manner. Her
speech is thick and heavy, no doubt
due to the excessive size of her tongue.
The way in which she threads needle
is peculiar. She first holds the needle
in her teeth for the purpose of planting
it firmly in the wooden table before
her. She then takes up the cotton, bit
ing it off the length she requires. The
next step is to hold the cotton with her
lips, which she screws up in a peculiar
manner. Then in trice, before one
can say Jack Robinson" she takes
aim at the eye of the needle before
her, and ten chances to one, the needle
is threaded.

TYING UP BRITISH COIN.
Bank of England Declares That BIZ
metallism Alone Will Solve In
dia's Currency Question.

The Indian currency commission has
recommended, among other things,
the gradual establishments of the gold
standard in India. This recommenda-
ton is now being put into effect, but
it is yet too early to gauge the exact
result that the step will haze upon
the money market in general.
Different opinions are given by diff
ferent authorities, as evidenced by the
following expression of Henry Rivers
dale Grenfell, director of the Bank of
England, who said: "There is no i'm
mediate cause for alarm, but sooner
or later the question is bound to be-
come acute. The Indian government
has power to lock up in England suf-
ficient gold to meet it's liabilities on
this side. The liabilities are by no
means small. Already about e 7O0,-
900 of the reserve of the Bank of Eng
land has been earmarked, and that is
a mere flea bite to the amount that
will be required for all practical pur-
poses.
"This locking up of gold is equiva-
lent in its effect to shipment of gold
to America or other foreign ports.
The Bank of England's reserve is re-
duced to the extent of the locking up
of the amount earmarked-thati is to
say, it can't be used for any other pur-
pose than security of the currency. OBJ
viously this will have tendency to
harden the money market in general
and keep up discount rates.
'As the scheme proceeds the serious
ness of the situation becomes more ev-
ident, and if the government doesn't
limit in some way the amount the In
dian government can lock up, the ef-
feet is bound to be detriment.
I'm my opinion, the most injudi-
cious course was adopted when the
currency commission recommended
this step. Bimetallism is, to my mind, |,
the only permanent solution of the
currency question in India. Had the
efforts of the Wolcott mission been al
lowed to bear fruit better way would
have been found out of the difficulty.
Bimetallism was directed to India
more than to any other place, but it
was rejected to India's detriment.''
