Prisoners on Suspicion.
Harry Nelson and Harry Belmont, the
men arrested as suspicious characters last
Monday, are still held at the barracks
Two detectives came over from Charles
ton yesterday to see them, thinking that
they might turn out to be men wanted
there, but after a careful examination de-
cided that they were not the ones wanted
Capt. Serevsn received from the Postmas-
ter at Ocilla, Ga, a circular letter yester-
day stating that the postoffice in that
town had been blown open and robbed on
Feb. s, and that the job was supposed to
have been done by three strangers that
had been hanging about the town for some
days previous to the robbery. One of
these men had been captured and is now
in the custody of the authorities of the
town, and the description of the other two
nearly fits that of Belmont and Nelson
A telegram was sent the sheriff of Irwin
county, In which Oeilla is situated. and ne
expected to arrive In the city last night,
and, if possible. identify the prisoners.
Up to midnight he had not arrived, but is
expected this morning. Capt Screven
was also in receipt of a telegram from
United States inspector, who stated that
he, too, would reach Savannah this morn
ing and see the prisoners.
In the minds of the detectives there is
little DOUBT that the men, If not wanted
for the DELLA affair, are likely wanted
elsewhere, and should the officers now on
the way fail to claim them, a thorough
and systematic effort will be made to dis
cover something of their past history and
acts tefore they are released AS vet
the detectives have not been able to find
the lodgings occupied by the men during
their stay here before they were arrested.
The officers think when this place has
been found much light will be thrown on
the former lives of the men.

CHINESE MISSIONARIES.
Many Folks Hold That Reform, Like
Charity, Should Begin
at Home.

r
Many people among us are led to
say we should reform the millions Of
ignorant and vicious citizens in our
own land before commencing opera
tions on the heather Chinese. The
Chinese also will point with scoru tc
the crowds of debauched American and
other sailors who get leave to go on
shore when their ships are in Chinese
ports, and run in drunken riot among
the harmless natives in a manner that
is disgusting in the extreme. Even
the well-to-do merchants and other
representatives of our western lands
when in China too often live anything
but moral lives, so that the Chinese
are led to cry shame upon them. At
tend to your own people first, they
say, and when you have lifted them
up to the standard you preach to us,
we will gladly listen to your words,
writes Prof. John Fryer, in Aipslee's.
The Chinese officials do not hate the
average regular missionary as a man;
but they dislike his teaching The
missionary's pure and upright life as
an example for the Chinese people is
a continual and unmistakable object
lesson to the officials, making manifest
by contrast their own cruel, ~grasping,
evil lives. The corrupt official is bet
ter pleased with the d~epfaved Euro
pean or American merchant than he
is with the missionary. He feels that
the merchants and he have much in
common as birds of a feather. In the
DRY, the Chinese classics hold that the
officials are to be like parents to the
people" It is therefore their duty to
aid and instruct the people on all points
Of morality and doctrine. This duty
they not only do not perform them
selves, but they very strenuously OBJ
ject to the sensible ~self-denying mis-
sionary when he comes unasked to
perform it for them, The more the
Stupid common people, as they are
called, can be kept in ignorance, the
more easily can they be governed.
Hence the attempt of the missionary
to uplift them is a conspiracy against
one of the stronghoIds of ~oficialdom.
The Misrepresentation Of The object
and the work of missionaries, and the
many Evil .things attributed to them; as
well as the riots stirred up by the
officials, ending in the occasional muir.
der of the more aggressive missionaries
are mostly due to this cause.

LIYN rode across the prairie joy
~ ously, and looked Iongingly to-
ward the east, where the sun was
scarce an hour. high. The fresh, brac-
ing air seemed to peruaeate every fiber
Of his being, and he drew in great
breaths of it, feeling a wild sort Of
pleasure in the mere fact Of being
alive.
For once in three years he was hap.

state for two whole days. The rest Of

Allyn had once made the mistake Of
considering life a very serious matter,
indeed. And when, after trying for a
year to practice law, and not getting
anyone to practice upon, he had given
it up in disgust, and migrated to the
home Of opportunity in hope of get
ting rich. But there was another Tea-

During his idle hours Allyn had fall,

for he had nothing on earth except q

and the revenue from them did moi
amount to three hundred a year. All
the rate his practices was % increas

Novelty in

A new adornment is finding favor
among milliners. This consists Of
skeleton leaves preserved exactly as
they fall from the tree and retaining
their natural color. The leaves Of the
walnut, chestnut and platane trees are
preferred for the purpose; large ivy
leaves and oak leaves are also used.
The longest leaves are formed into a
large palette, n side being com
posed of a stiff painted feather, the
other of the skeleton leaf, thus form
ing a broad garniture. A fine invisi-
bic wire fixed to the edge OF the leaf
prevents its crumpling. The smaller
leaves are made into garlands mount
ed on an artificial or natural branch.
The leaves have to be perfectly pre-
served, as their beauty naturally lies
in the delicacy and transparency Of
the fber.-St. Louis Republic.
