Hope of Meeting Man Friend.

New York Aug. 2S.-Persons in the
Office buildings on Park Row had their
young woman who stood at the edge
of the sidewalk opposite Frankfort

white shirt waist. with a light blue tie.

noticed standing there about $50
oclock in the morning. When 1t was
seen two hours later that she was still
standing in the same place people be-
gan TO talk about her. After that a
rather close watch was kept upon her.
Every now and then some one at a
window would announce. she's still
there" and up to 4:30 O'Clock In the af-
ternoon she was not seen to move from
the spot where she was standing in. the
morning. During the day several per-
sons stopped and engaged her in con-
Versation. One old woman in particu-
lar stood talking with her for half an
hour. She answered every one reluct-
antly, but never changed her position.
At 4:30 o'clock a correspondent spoke
to her, telling her that people had seen
her waiting all day and asked if he
could be of any service to her.

SHIRT WAIST MAN.
May Irwin Comes to His Defense =
Coat is Superhuous.

New York, Aug. 2s.-The heroic shirt
waist man is the theme taken by Mary
Irwin. She says:
1.-THE shirt waist man is a pioneer and
a hero. He has the spirit of 49, He has
rebelled against the tyranny of fashion
and declared that every man has GER
tain inalienable rights, among which
are comfort convenience, and the pur-
suit of happiness.
Men are just beginning to find out
what women discovered long ago-that
clothes are made for men, not men for
clothes Women have emancipated
themselves, and now it is mems turn
to fight for his liberty to dress accord
ing TO the weather.
1T has always been a common mascu-
line conceit that women were the slaves
of fashion We women have listened
meekly to this charge for years. Many
of us have even been persuaded that 1T
the while we were altering the fashions
whenever we pleased. We adopted mans
dress whenever we thought it was SUI
perior to ours. We ordered tailor-made
suits. We bought mems hats, stuck
feathers in them, and wore them every
where. We took fancy to mems collars,
ties, and belts, and appropriated certain
styles for our own use.
'At present the shirt waist man is in
the minority. If he can only hold out,
like Conger in Pekin, until other men
get sense enough to help him, he will
soon have Dame Fashion herself on his
side.

ANARCHIST DEPORTED
Because He Is Considered an Undesir-
able Immigrant.

New York. Aug. 2S.-The italian Guida
who arrived in this country three weeks
ago on the Kaiser Wilhelm II, in COM
pany with the alleged anarchist Marcesa,
another Italian. was ordered excluded
today on instructions from the treasury
department. He will be deported to
Europe. Marcesa's case has not been
decided. Guida and Marcesa were sus-
pected of being anarchists when they
arrived in this country and there were
reports that Marcesa had come to kill
President Mckinley in accord with
plot Matched in Italy. The men have
been detained on Ellis island.
The board of special inquiry of the
immigration bureau decided to hold
Guida no longer as it was shown that
he had no connection with Marcesa
either in political or other manner. Be
cause he was an undesirable immigrant
and because he had come over as a
stowaway and no one had paid his so
fine it was decided to exclude and deport
him from the country.
Marcesa's case is still in allegiance.

New York, Aug. ga dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
The news OF an attack on the Chinese
force assembling at Nam Yen. outside
Pelxin. is anxiously awaited. according
10 a JapaneSe telegram from Taku. A
combined detachment of Russian ana
Japanese cavalry was to have encoun-
tered this hostile body on last Saturday.
The Japanese are more succeSSfuI tnan
the rest of the combined contingent IN
getting through runners, probably be-
cause Of their superior knowledge OF the
Chinese character and language but
even General XaTnaguchis message pup
nShed at Toxic yesterday was olSpatcn-
ed from Pelxin as long ago as August 10
The Japanese generals telegram gives
no hope of the capture OF the Imperial
family and, indeed, it would seem that
this cavalry force abandoned the chase
on reaching the village of Mansan, where
it's commander learned that the empress
and the emperor, under General Ma 3
escort had started for the west.
The approach Of nine thousand of the
Shan Tung troops with fifteen guns to
attack the line of communications IN the
rear of Pekin emphasizes the necessity
of further reinforcements. These Shan
Tung men are among the best of the
European drilled soldiers In the Chinese
service and have been carefully trained
and organized under foreign instructors
by the former governor, Yuan Shin Kal-
They are armed with German Mausers
and Krupp long range guns

The situation in the southern provinces
IS much complicated by the existence of
undoubted revolutionary, as well as
anti-foreign movements. The nineteen
men executed by a viceroy are alleged
to have belonged to the reform party,
which cherished the intention of rising
against the provincial authorities and
ultimately overthrowing the Manchu
government and restoring Emperor
Kwang Su to power. This movement is
said to be widespread through the
Yangtse region and to be encouraged
by the agents Of Kang Yu Wei's league,
which is largely financed by reforming
Chinese in Singapore, America and Aus
tralia. 1t is believed also to be working
in close association with the famous NJ.
Kolahoaui and other secret societies.
In fact, southern China is in a dis
turbed and restless condition and further
important developments are expected.

New Haven, Conn, Aug. 2S.-Mrs.
Annie Reynolds 40 years old, the wife
of respectable farmer of Aontowese,
is held at police headquarters under
bonds of $4,000 for assaulting her hus-
band. cutting down his orchard of pear
and peach trees and setting fire to the
barn, all as result of an explosion of
anger when her husband left the house
Mr. Reynolds objected at the break
fast table to his wife's receiving the at
tentions of several farmers of the neigh
oorhood and in passion of anger his
wife chased him out Of the house with
a shower of pots and dishes. Not con-
tent with this treatment of the question,
Mrs Reynolds followed up her victory

CONNECTICUT's CENSUS.
An Estimate Based on Unofficial Data
That Its People Number $4,000.

Bridgeport, Aug. 2S.-Although Samuel
A. Eddy of Canaan, supervisor of the
census in Connecticut, has declined to
make a statement relative to the total
enumeration, it has been estimated by
those familiar with the existing condi-
tons that the official count will disclose
a total population of about $50 600 in
Connecticut. This figure may be accept
ed as a close approximation of the final
result. The population of the state at
the time of the last census in 1890 was
TAG, 25S, and a growth of $4,000 would
demonstrate the fact that Connecticut is
becoming a popular abiding place with
