The Ridiculous Chinese Army.

There is much anxiety over the prob

President of the Christian Endeavorers
who was in China when the Boxer
troubles began, but he lie safe. His ex-
perienca lends additional interest TO his
article in this weeks Saturday Evening
Post on John Cninaman at Home:
His Queer Beliefs: His Ridiculous
Army. DE-. Clark writes:
"The army OF hins is the laughing
stock of the world, and no wonder. 1t
is synonym for cowardice and not for
courage. 1t is oble picked up In the
the sIums, ill-equipped: ill-fed, Ill cloth
ed, ILL., paid or paid not at all. Even
the Chinese laugh at their own SOL
diers.
"At a recent public meeting the
speaker, an American, urged Christian
courage and fortitude, say ing that his
| hearers must endure hardship and be
brave like good soldiers. When his
| Chinese interpreter came to translate
this passage he interpolated the re-
mark: OF cou1se he does not mean
Chinese soldiers
"Moreover, these soldiers know that
they are constantly starved in rations
and cheated in arms and m unItions of
war by their superior officers. Tons
and tons Of gunpoWder are filchered
every year from Chinese forts and mag
azines and sold to the frecracker MAX
ere. At the time OF the japanese war
hundreds OF government rifles and
even some cannon were in the pawn
shops.
During the early Boxer troubles
squad Of Chinese soldiers was detailed
from fort to guard the premises of
some friends of mine at Paoting fu.
near Peking. Night after pigbt the
soldiers marched into my friends com

houses AT lsst it occurred to request
The soldiers to fire salute, so that all
ill disposed persons might know OF
their presence. To this they gravely
replied that they would gladly do so
had any powder been given them, but
that before the next night they would
get some powder and fire the salute at
nine O'Clock. Thereafter, for a week
or more, promptly at the appointed
hour, the welkin rang with a temen-
dous discharge of fire arms. But one
night it was omitted, and my friend.
lnquiring the reason, was told that the
soldiers were out of wadding. 1t was

The saloon at Bald Eagle that has been
such a source of annoyance to the in
haDtants whereabouts will be allowed to
run until October 10, and after that date
saloons at Bald Eagle will be a thing of
the past. Such was the decision reached
at the meeting of the county commission
ers yesterday.
Before this was decided upon Messrs.
Warren and Ruff appeared on behalf of
the Bald Eagle association, and fought it
fiercely. They produced unrefutable evil
dence that during May and June Saloon
keeper Benson sold liquor on Sunday and
to minors.
Meantime the law is to be obeyed to the
letter, and. D. w Ruff secured permits
sion to act in the capacity of deputy
| license inspector without compensation
until Oct. 10, with the intention of MAX
ing sure that the laws are not infringed
| in regard to keeping open on Sundays,
selling to minors or keeping a disorderly

THOUGHT TO Be INSANE
a CANADIAN EoY CoaIsl3'Ys ARSON
" ROSEAU EOTETY.

The state board of correction and chart
ties has received from County Attorney
r. J. Bell, Of Roseau county, notice of
Graham, whose home is said to be in
sane.
The prisoner who is fifteen years of
age, has lived with his parents at Por-
tage la Prairie, Manitoba, since 1928, but
recently came across the line into Ro-
seau county. and it is said wantonly set
fire to a haystack. He was placed under
arson in the third degree to await the
action of the grand jury of ROseau coun-
ty, which does not meet until May 1901.
Mr.. Bell states in his letter that the boy
is rational and talks sensiD.y part Of
the time, but is subject to periodical
fits of acute mania, during which he de-
velops very destructive tendencies, and
that the boy himself says that there are
times when he feels an irresistible i'm
pulse to kill and destroy. This feature
of the case has been brought to the no.
tice of the probate judge Of Roseau
county, who, owing to the fact Of the
boys supposed residence in Canada, is
in doubt as to how to proceed, and it is
to the state board.
Secretary Jackson has not yet decided
as to what action will be taken, but the
case will be investigated further, and in
case 1t Should be found that the boys
parents now live in Portage la Prairie
he will undoubtedly be sent back there.

PARK BOARD DISCUSSES ACTION
OF SIRE EFT RAILWAY But
DOES NOTHING
sUPT. NUssBAUMER SAT ON
He Explains That He Had Core
spOndence With the Company,
and That They '|Set Down
on Him Hard"

The park board met last night, but
transacted very little business.
A communication was received from
Charles j. Berryhill, calling the atten-
ton Of the board to the dangerous con-
dition Of the street railway crossing at
the entrance to Como park, just to the
right of the Lexington avenue cycle
path. The communication was referred
to Supt Nussbaumer with Instructions
that he notify the street car company to
pave between the tracks at that point
as they are obliged to do under the cen
tract.
There was only one bid received for the
proposed tubular well for the barn at
Lake Como. George w. Keeps offered to
put the we'll in for $500, but the beard
saw fit to reject the bid. as it was not
in accordance with the advertisement
After rejecting the bid, the board au-
thorized Supt. Nussbaumer TO go ahead
and put the will in. The N0aCd passed a
resolution directing the board of public
works to condemn lots 7, 8, 8, 10, IL and
70 of Brooklynd's addition, on the West
side, to be used for the proposed park
adjoining the Lafayette school. A reso-
/
Commercial club for their donation of
the granite fountain and the pair Of
Elks.
Bills amounting to s448.O4 were allowed
by the board.
incidentally, during the meeting, there
were some remarks made in regard to
the street car company disseminating
the music at Lake Como. This prompted
Mr.. Wheelock to say that it was pre-
posterous for the company to discontinue
the music at this time and that he
thought it should at least have con-
tinued to give concerts at Como until
some time in September. Mr.. Wheelock
also said that he thought the board could
run the place themselves next year.
Supt Nussbaumer said that he had had
correspondence with the company in re-
gard to continuing the concerts for a
while yet, but they had set down on
him hard" The matter, however, was
not taken up, and the board took no
action.
The board adjourned to meet again at
o'clock this evening. The members
present last night were Commissioners
Hamm, Willius and Wheelock.
