Though outnumbering his forcc almost ten to
one, the Chinese were no match for it, The
cavalrymen charged in, sabering the Chinese right
and left, sweeping them back across the mud
fats and burning the villages that harbored them
Colonel Wint determined to give them
lesson that would not be forgotten. -Four hun
drcd were killed, three hundred prisoners taken
and six towns we're burned before the little force

WHENCE CAME IT =?
Mysterious Wounding of a Pedes-
trian on Lackawanna Avenue by
q Pistol Ball.

Isador Pratzek, a South Side slater,
was wounded in a mysterious manner
while walking along Lackawanna ave-
nue. yesterday afternoon.
In passing the Hunt & Connell COM
panys store bullet of 3S-calibre
pierced the back of the rim of his hat,
struck him in the back of the neck,
causing a painful abrasion, and drop
ped to the sidewalk at his feet. His
head was bent forward at the time he
says, and the missile must have come
towards him at sharp angle.
He and all who were about at the
time are positive there was no re-
port of a gun, yet the bullet, judging
from its angle and the fact that II
cleanly pierced the rim of his hat, was
not a spent one.
No one has been able to offer any
reasonable explanation of where the
ball could possibly come from.

DOESN'T FAVOR EXTENSIONS.
City Engineer Says Sewer Inspector
May Neglect Duty.

City Engineer Phillips explained
yesterday his reason for opposing the
plan of extending the time limit fixed
in the contracts for the construction
of sewers. He says that it sometimes
causes collusion between the contrac-
tor and the sewer inspector.
IF the contractor secures an addi-
tional three or four months" said he
"why then in gratitude to him, the
inspector who gets that much extra
work and pay, is likely to overlook
things. Then again if councils get
into the habit of granting extensions
the inspector is likely to let the work
drag at first, so as to make an exten.
sion of time necessary"

A new lot Of food cranks" are in
jecting their opinions into the discus.
sion of the eating problem. The latest
sect advocate uncooked foods exclusively.
At recent banquet in Chicago the
menu Of the these dietetists consisted
Of raw oysters, raw shrimps, onions,
radishes, nuts, raw cracked wheat, com.
pressed wheat bread, and peanut butter.
Nothing that has been in the reach Of a
fire is permitted on their tables. The
main question that agitates the average
editor is how to get food at all-cooked
or uncooked-and he will bet his best
straw hat which has been carefully laid
away for next summer that if a piece Of
apple or minoe pie or a nicely Drowned
turkey gobbler hoves in sight he will
reach out and take it uncooked, dietary
to the contrary Notwithstanding.
