Mnusers and Their Eject.
From the London Chronicle.

Lances a highly Interesting account of The
medical aspects of the Tugela battle. Inc
most striking point in ~ narration is the
extreme celebrity with which the wounded
men were removed from the field Of bat
tie. Altoge her 800 patients passed through
the hospital in the course Of the day, and
they were all cleared off the field within
four hours OF the end of the engagement,
ana dispatched to the base within two
days. This was no doubt due 20 the clean
cut and humane wounds Inflicted by the
Mauser bullet The British Medical Jour-
nan states that the wounds presented
clean punch appearance being almost
entirely free from confusion and lacera-
ton" This is good news for the friends
of the sufferers, and explains the rapid
recoveres which are being made. Also, IL
is said, that out of 800 wounds only eight
we're CAUSED by shell fire, the remainder
being due to Mauser bullets. This great
disproportion bears out the well-known
dlctum that the effect Of shell fire is
mainly moral.

RRFAKFAsT IN A HINDU PALACE.
No Fewer Than Fifty Courses Were
Served In Lavish PrOfusion.

From the Nineteenth Century.
AT IL o'clock I walked across to the pal
ace for breakfast Upon a small table in
the hall was spread white cloth and on
this a young pantain leaf whose light
green color polished surface and tender
tracerv of veins made il only too beauti-
full covering for a table devoted TO any
material purposes. Upon this leaf were
twenty cups. each with its spoon, and six
tall glasses, and Immediately in front Of
the chair a silver dish. First two Bran

selves upon the elevated pinth, below
which the table was placed. There they
laughed and talked and played with the
lilies | had picked in the mornig To do
me honor they had dressed In their coths
of gold and Jewels.
Meanwhile the Brahmans kept on filling
these CUPS, and no fewer than fifty cups
were served OF different kinds of currles
of fruit, curds, cakes, vegetables and
sweetmeats. The twenty cups proved al
together insufficient and the beautiful
plantain leaf was row sp.ashed and stain

MORE FACTORY TALK
Arnold Gasoline Engine Company Will
Build Factory If the City Will
Make Concessions.
PLANT NOW IN OPERATION
Mr. W. c. Arnold Will Appear Before the
Business Mems Association Thursday
Evening With Proposition.

Factory sites must he the long suit
of the Kenosha Business Mems asso-
citation at the present time, for Pres
ident A. E. Buckmaster has received
another proposition to locate factory
in Kenosha if the Business Mems
association will be willing to provide a
site.
The proposition comes from w. G.
Arnold, the. owner of the patent gaso-
line engine now being manufactured
in this city. The engine has not as
yet really been placed on the market,
but the few that have been sent out
show that the engine will make a
great hit in the world of industry.
For the past year Mr.. Arnold has been
making engines in the old room on
Exchange street near the creamery,
but the increase in business has de-
manded that an enlargement of the
plant be made.
In order to do this company is now
being formed with Mr.. Arnold as Pres
ident to be known as the Arnold GasO-
line Engine company. The company

and all the stock will probably be held
by local capitalists. Mr.. Arnold will
appear before the business men of the
city tomorrow. evening and present
proposition to build plant IN Keno
ssha.. AS yet Mr.. Arnold has not made
public his plans, but it is said that the
industry which he is planning to build
up ia the city will be healthy infant
with a good chance to become robust
industry. The plant will be used for
the manufacture of engines and metal
patterns and if the new plant is built
it will employ at least fifty men. The
engine has. proved to be such great
success that there is little doubt but
that the company will build large
plant and Kenosha will have the first
opportunity to locate it here.
The work of the organization of the
company to control the patent of Mr..
Arnold is now being carried on by
Wallace Ingalls,, of Racine.
The Arnold compay have something
to show the city as the busy little shop
has been in operation in this city for
more than year, and if the enlarge
ment is assured the Business Mems
association will not be slow TO see to it
that the factory is built IN Kenosha.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 2, 1900.
King Humbert.

Humbert, king of italy, though loyal
TO Italy, and though amid earthquakes
and pesti1ences forgetting himself to
serve others, was shot down by the
hand of an assassin near the beautiful
park and summer palace Of Monza,
where he was seeking rest after long
continued and arduous service. Not
only Humbert, but also the Car of
Russia, Emperor William of Germany,
and the future king of England are
spotted as victims of the murderer's
pistol or the dynamiters explosion.
President Loubet and the Shah of
Persia are also in jeopardy. 1t re-
fleets no honor on the American Re
public that the assassin should claim
American citizenship and boldly de-
clare that he left the United States on
purpose to Stay the king. The An1eri-
can people dep1ore and denounce the
cruel and cowardly deed. The villain
GUS performance will reap as it de-
serves the execration of the civilized
world. The assassin is represented as
confessing that he was actuated by
hatred of monarchical institutions.
Perhaps so; but murder will never
overthrow monarchy; monarChists
spring up like the followers of Rod
erick Dhu, after such CHASTITY and horri-
bic deed. Intelligence and virtue
are the only remedy for the
evil of monarchy, if it is an evil.
OF these only are Republics made. We
suspect, however, that the underlying
motive of anarchy as it exists in Eu-
rope and America, is not purpose to
overthrow monarchy so much as de-
termination to antagonize present
systems Of taxation which are made
insufferab1y burdensOme by the de-
1nands of war. Italy is burdened with
a gigantic endeavor to maintain its
place in the triple alliance. Release
from military service will doubtless
afford great relief from the peril Of
assassination. Meanwhile the hand
of the murderer and the assassin must
be para1yzed, even by the forces of
empire. The staying of Humbert
works no good, only injury, to the
cause of Italy and Republication.

Att mpt to Break Into the Home of Phillip
schnell-steal calf Prom NJ P. Nelson.
The old gang of Kenosha burglars
are at work again and police protection
seems to have no terrors for che bold
gang. Last evening they attempted to
break into the residence of Phillip
Schne11, at the corner of Pearl and
Congress street, and later they made
an innovation in the way of crime by
breaking into a stable on the premi ses
of NJ. p. Nelson on Rowland avenue
and carrying away a live S-months-o1d
calf.
The burglars went to the Schnell
house shortly after O'Clock this morn
ing and the family were awakened by
hearing some one attempting to open
the back door OF the house. Mrs.
Schne11 heard the marauders at work
and called her husband, who hurried to
the back of the house. AS the door
was opened the men ran as fast as they
could and 1eaped over back fence into
the alley. Mr.. Schne11 attempted to
follow but they had gone SO far that it
was impossible for him to catch them or
to find out where they went. It is sup
posed that they then went to the Nelson
home. The barn had been locked and
the door was broken open. The calf
which was taken had been tied up in
the stable, but this fact only assisted
the thieves as they took the halter and
all and led the animal off in triumph.
The police have no clue by which they
they can locate the guilty parties.

Dismemberment of China.

The ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the Chinese
empire will not occur in. this year of
Our Lord, Nineteen Hundred. Such
destiny for Turkey has been threatened
MANY times, but avaricious Russia and
all the greedy European nations have
been unable to effect it. The quarter
ing of the great Monaghan empire of
four hundred million people, bound
together by traditions carried down for
thousands of years, and cemented by
faiths and religions that are old as the.
world, will be a 1ess inviting task for the
Powers which arein constant disagree-
ment and discord among them
selves than the ACKNOWLEDGMENT
of Turkey. Might as we'll talk
of carving the carcass of the
Russian Bear into slices. Better not
make the attempt. If Europe and the
United States shall conformity an
nounCe that they desire commerce with
China rather than to carve the country
into pieces, three months will
suffice not only to open ports that have
been closed in consequence of conflict,
and Boxer revolt against foreigners,
but assure peace and make free
many ports that hitherto have been
sealed. Such seems to be the policy
of the United States. That policy will
succeed; but not in Eye hundred years
the policy that means the dividing of
great empire among the nations of the
earth.
