' London, Aug. 15.--The Chinese minis

at Pekln were safe on Monday, August

| A news agency dispatch from Shang-
| hal says IAN authentic message from
Pekin, dated August 7, says that the at
tacks on the legations have been renew
ed, and that the supplies of food have
been stopped. The advance of the al
lies, 1t is feared, has excited the fanat-
les, and the rebels are again uncon
trollabla."
Military men at Shanghai who know
the country in the vicinity of Pekin
believe that the allies ought to be with
in cannon-shot of the Chinese capital
tO-dav.
Taotai Sheng's American adviser, Mr..
FERGUSON, who has been criticised by
the press and by Americans for his con-
tinued relations with the Chinese Off
Ger, has resigned and his resignation
has been accepted. An English CORE
spondent sending this information from
Shanghai says: THE intimacy of Amer
lean officials with Sheng has been re-
marked by Englishmen."

Slick Game.

Slick Game.
Maria Hines, or Hays, as she is some
times known is wanted by the police for
a robbery committed last Monday.
The girl, who is about 10 years old. is
a hardened criminal, and has served time
on the gang for similar offenses before.
She has a regular system of conducting
her populations. Her usual scheme is to
pose as a vegetable vendor until she can
find some one to hire her, then to watch
the actions of her employer unt She dis
covers the place where the money is kept,
or where the vaiuables of the family are
stored After securing this information
she takes the first opportunity Of apDro-
priating to her use what she can lay hands
on and takes French leave, to play the
vegetable vendor racket over again and
look for another victim.
The latest victim Of her wiles is Mr. j.
w Howell who lives at Bull and Third
streets She was in his employ only four
days when she took IS and, disappeared.
He has reported the matter to the city
authorities, and as the girl Is well known
she will be apprehended, doubtless in the
next few days.

MAsoNs CELEBRATE THE DAY.
ZerubbabeI Lodges Washington Ses-
sion.

sion.
Zerubbabel Lodge, No. Is. T. aud A. NJ,
held last night a patriotic session in honor
of George Washington's birthday. The
hall was decorated with the national col
ors and at one end of it under two flags
was placed the picture of Washington.
The NJ NJ degree was conferred, after
which q number of addresses were made
on Washington and his character as a
man and as a Mason Mr. Z. A. StoVall,
the first speaker, said that one of the
things most strongly fncucated by Free
Masonry is the love OF country, and it
was Unnecessary to delye in sacred scrip
ture of legendary lore to teach the tenets
and symbolism of the order when they
he'd been illustrated in the life of Wash
iugton.
DR.. A. b. Simmons gave a short sketch
of Washingtons career as a Mason. He
told how Washington became a Mason in
Fredericksburg in 1852, and shorty after
organized and became the first master Of
Alexandria Lodge, which is stir known as
Washingtons Alexandria Lodge. In l75j
he took the degree of a Royal Arch Md
son in a military lodge connected with a
regiment of the British army, Of which
Gen. Braddock was In command
The teachings of Masonry and the es-
TEEN in which Washington held them was
borne out in. every stop of mis- upward ca
reer and when he look his oatpof featy
to the constitution of the United States
it was upon the Bible from st. John 5
Lodge in New York states when he laid
the cornerstone of the 1CaPitpt A. Wash
ington 1t was as a grand master OF the
order AS in his youth said DIR. Simmons,
Washington trod TIE tasselated floor OF
the temple, and Masonry continued 20 re-
ceive his attention during his later years,
and al his death he was laid away with
the ceremonies of the order.
I'VE do not say that Masonry was the
cause of Washingtons emiuence," sad
DR. Simmons but we do say that he was
the living illustration of it's teachings
from the lowest to the highest positions
his life was a commentary of his faith
and In his enduring fame we think OF
Washington as an upright man and a
master Mason
After America" had been sung by the
choir. Mr.. w B. Stubs spoke of Wash
ington as a Mason, prefacing his remarks
with
Lives of great men all remind us,
We can make our lives sublime"
That Washington was great. said Mr.
Stubs is universally recognized, but as
Masons ii behooves that they search in
the secret recesses of his heart for the
qualities that made him great. The first
of these is truthfulness," said Mr.. Stubs,
"and it is not in vain that in exemplifiea-
lion of this quality we teach our children
the story of Washington and the Ratchet;
the second of these qualities Is the fidelity
with which he filed all the Offices entrust-

nific2nt or of the highest importance; other

AT THE THEATER.
"a Texas Steer" Pleased Large
Audience.


Charles II. Hoyt's "A Texas Steer was
presented at the theater last night by Miss
Katie Putnam and a good company to a
large and well pleased audience. Mr.
Hoyt introduces "A Texas Steer with the
explanation that it is "a collection of saws
and incidents supposed TO bear more or
less directly upon the extraordinary posi-
bilities of American politics and the de-
velopment of craftsmanship of the
average type In these few lines Mr.
Hoyt very aptly describes his play. 1t IS
a political satire of a very bright sort.
The incidents and story are little far
fetched, it is possible, but they are
amusing and entertaining to a degree, and
Mr.. Hoyt has put into the play a lot If
bright and typically American dialogue
that 20 to make up an interesting play.
The piece has been seen here before and
the Story is not new to the average the
ater-goer.
Miss Katie Putnam, who portrays the
role of Bossy, the daughter of Maverick
Brander-who is the central figure in the
play-does excellent work. She was
equally good in parts that called for com
edy of the broadest sort, and those that
required a touch of fine pathos, such as
only a versatile actress could do.
the company was well balanced, and all
the principal parts were well taken Mr..
lanes r. Mccain, Mr.. Stevens, Mr.
Mech and Miss Kendall are entitled to
particular mention.
The company was to have played at a
matinee. but arrived too late to give
performance.
