FLEE FROM RAIN.

Leslie's Weekly: 1t is one of the pecul-
1ar1ties of the Chinese to carefully avoid
Ibeing caugt in the rain; the chief reason
for this is that they have a superstition
that drops Of rain falling on the hair
1t is very difficult for them to get rid of.
They are. however. equally careful not
to wet their feet. Their care of their feet
is not altogether due to the fact that the
soles of their shoes are made of paste
board and liable to be inbred by soaking,
but also they believe that sore feet are
brought about by getting them damp.
This fear OF the Chinese of transforms
hao a peculiar effect on their mobs
and armies. At the time of the massacre
of 1870 at Tien Tsin the mob, after it had
burned the French consulate, the cathe-
dral and convent, had destroyed the or
phanage Of the Sisters of Charity and
murdered the consul, all the sisters and
several priests, started toward the other
settlement, determined to put all foreign
ers to death. The cathedral behind
them was in flames, and the mob, fresh
from the torture of nuns. was hungry for
blood. They started down the Taku road
with frenzied shouts ad the beating of
drums and gongs, when suddenly it be-
gan to ain Thai was the end of the
massacre. The crowd covered their heads
and scattered.

victory which has no parallel for the
desperate courage shown in winning a

AT that time John Paul Jones held a
commission as commodore in the navy
OF the continental congress, and the
academy d%iscredits itself in allowing a
contributor to exhibit such ignorance or
foollsh rancor. Times have changed
since John Paul Jones was lampooned
about h streets of London in cartca-
lures showing a hideous beast with a
drawn cutlass and a string of skulls for
a girdle. Such a survival, however. of
this fiction will doubtless interest Rev.
Cyrus I. Brady, whose forthcoming life
or John Paul Jones. promises to be one
OF the most interesting and important
biographies of the year. There is GER
talnly no one better fitted to deal with
the picturesque and heroic figure who

seems to us. any one better fitted to
reply to ignorant English reviewers who
cast aspersions upon the character Of

PAUL JONES IN ENGLAND.

The curious persistence of English
constituencies and prejudice regarding
American and English naval encounters
is curiously illustrated in the current
number of the london Academy. The
English. reviewer of E. X. Rawson's
Twenty Famous Naval Battles" says,
after deserving the authors lack of
any sense of proportion:"
what place has a duel with the pirate
Paul Jones in such or the vari-
Gus American fights, such as hat IN
Lake Erie in 1918 and those between the
Monitor and Merrimac n the Alabama
and Kearsarge later? Even the engage
ment in Manila bay and at Santiago
are of little value. and the affairs were
not SO much battles as battues."
It is surprising that a century after
the fight between the Seraphis n the
on Homme Richard, a reputable English
literary journal should seek revenge
in impotent epithets for the VIC
tory of an officer in the American

NOTES.

A shipment of 700, 900 pounds of gov
eminent meats, for the use of our soldiers
and sailors in the Orient, is being carried
to San Francisco via the Union Pacific
and Southern Pacific.
Superintendent Fillmore, Of the South
ern Pacific, states that the use of oil for
fuel on the Ogden division is not con-
templated at present, for the reason that
it would be too expensive to ship the oil
to Ogden at this time. The Southern Pa
cific is now using fifty oil burning en-
gines on the road and will shortly begin
using oil for fuel between Oakland and
Sacramento.
The Union Pacific is fitting out it's en-
gines with a new furnace door.

years, died at Basin yesterday, leaving
a fortune estimated at between $4,000

Macdonald was an eccentric charac-

Died From Excessive Drink.

AL Harding, former oil driller for General
Golf, died at the ST. Charles hotel Monday morn
ing at o'clock from four days illness, caused
by excessive intoxication His deathwas expected
at any moment Sunday but he seemed better that
evening and might have survived had he not com
mitted the rash act getting out of bed early
Monday morning, dressing himself and going out
TO the Hub restaurant This exercise completely
exhausted him and he had to be carried back to
his room where he died few minutes afterward.
His people are reported to reside IN New YORK
state near Jamestown, but no communication
could be had with them. To an inquiry sent to
Erie, Pa, Chief of Polce Reynolds, of that city,
answered that if Harding left means the body
should be sent to Venango, Pa, if not then 1T
should be given burial here. Harding having left
no means, funds were subscribed and interment
was made in the l. o. O. F. cemetery, Rev. T. W.
Cooke holding funeral services at the undertaking
establishment of the Stealey Osborn company at
5 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. A special choir was
in attendance and the services were quite beauti-
full.

Some Money Pointers.

90 per cent in -four years. Besides it must be re-
membered that the population has also increased

now there is 50 000 600, 900. Every dollar of this
vast sum is as good as gold and worth 100 cents on
every dollar, not only in the United States, but
throughout the commercial world.
In 1896 the gold in circulation was S4S90C0,

per cent and this increase hasn not prejudiced sll
YER for in 1896 there were sos 900 600 of this coin
in circulation and there are now S63l 600 900.
This is financial triumph for the present
administration and a matter Of interest and pride
bered, as it must be, that in the last presidential
campaign it was argued with great vehemence by
democratic orators from Bryan down, that the
gold standard would make money scarce, and
therefore dearer and that the only means of in
creasing the volume of money was by the free and
unlimited coinage of the two metals on the Bryan
and Mexican rato,
Not only So but with equal dogmatic vehe-
mence it was likewise asserted, with painful repe
titon that the gold standard would bring peril to
every material and industrial interest of the coun.
try
If then that party was wrong in its diagnosis
and prescription for the maady existing under the
last democratic administration, it may not be I'M
reasonable to question their fitness and qualifca
ton with other situations and conditions pointed
out by them as existing maladies.

THAT SPANISH GUN TRICK.

The direful results which might have followed
the discharge OF the Spanish gun, Tuesday night,
are fearful to contemplate. The absence OF pro.
iectile was the only thing lacking to inhct loss OF
life The animus of the perpetrators OF the deed
is an unknown quantity and beyond solution, I'M
less perchance the guilty parties be apprehended
and brought to Justice. Various theories prevail
as to the spiritand manner in which this grave
offence was committed, but the most plausible
seems to be that mischief was the intent and
simply powder and clay the means. Fears have
been entertained that what did happen would hap
pen. Boasts to that effect have frequently been
made not through sinister motives. however, but
rather to crafty curosty,-a curiosity, we regret
to say, that may prove disastrous because OF It's
qualification. To ascribe thoughtlessness 10 the
incident would be TO nsinuate against the reason
ing and reflective powers of people. and yet to
charge righteousness would doubtless be a gross
injustice. 1t seems altogether probable that the
deed was done in a spirit of carelessness without
intent to do injury The offence is grave mas
much as it mutated not only government property
but private property as we'll, aud graver still be-
cause of the lives it meuaced The incident brings
our CITY into disrepute and gives false impressions
of US as law abiding people, and though undoubt'
eddy perpetrated by strangers, the city, ITSELF Will
be held responsible for it, and all manner of un-
reason if no other it is to be hoped that this
diatolical plot will be unfathomed and the cuprits
exposed and punished.
