of three hours work day on the part |
of returned men. Everything went all /
right in the discussion until the Japan
csc COnsuls companion said: There
is no use OF talking further on this
matter. This is Government respon-
sibility, and the Japanese will remain
here as long as they desire, nor will
they be made to do any work for the
Government"
Mr.. McVeigh explained to the Jap
anese gentlemen that it was the idea
that the men should do little work to
pay for their food. They were get
| ting their food and lodging for moth
ing and it was only fair that they
should make some return. The govern
ment did not expect to make anything
/ out of the mems work However, the
Japanese officials refused to allow their
countrymen to work, although they
were told that if there was no work
done there would be no food forthcom-
| ing.
On Wednesday the Hawaiians and
Chinese went to work but the Japanese
remained in their quarters. One of
! those in charge at the camp called at
the Japanese quarters and found the

had already been to work but had been
told not to go on. 1t was all right
about not giving them any food if they
did not work; if the Consul did not do
something for them by Thursday morn
ing they would go to work in spite OF
him.
On Wednesday afternoon food was
prepared for the Japanese women and
children and they were sent for to
come near the Office, but they all went
hungry Off the men would not allow
them to do this.
None of the Japanese went to work
yesterday morning and food is still be-
ing withheld. If they want food they
: will have to get it from town and pay
for it themselves.
1t is said that Consul Saito has sub
mitted the matter to the Foreign
Office.

The strangest city and most peculiar
community IN the United States, II not
in the world, is shalam, about fifty
miles north Of ri Paso. It's popula-
ton is now 5000, but Il Is steadily
growing, and the indications are that
within the next ten years It viii have
reached 10000. Il Is doubtful II any
strange and unique settlement can
equal shalam in the practice Of extra
ordinary principles. Il is an odd COM
bination OF ancient religious supersu-
tion and the most advanced and radi-
cal socialism. Nevertheless, In spite Of
the fact that the living conditions are
entirely opposed to the generally nc
cepted modern ideas. the Inhabitants
are happy, contented and prosperous,
and believe they are the saving rem
nant which will bring forth a purified
race to regenerate mankind and enect
the salvation Of the earth.
Appropriately enough, shalam Is Of
supernatural origin. Its founder was
DR.. Newbrough, a New York dentist
and splrltualist who died in 1890. 1t
vas he who wrote the new Bible, which
is the daily guide and religious mentor
OF this queer community. His name is
held In deepest reverence and the be-
levers regard him as the sacred apos-
tie OF the divine and accord his mem
DRY much the same veneration which
Mormons bestow on Brigham Young
and Smith. The Bible which DR.. New
brough wrote is a mammoth work and
Is called "Oahspe," a word meaning
earth, air and sky in a language spok-
en- before the flood. It Is said to have
been written on the typewriter by DR..
Newbrough. his hands being guided
by supernatural beings, and was
printed without being read by the doc
tor.
1t is certainly a work without a coun-
terpart, filled with extraordinary
phrases, and with more peculiar illus
tration. but it is the sacred book of
a unique community which was found
ed to establish the religion it teaches,
and out Of the spiritual and economic
doctrines set forth therein, to found a
new race. The story of the writing Of
this Bible is very remarkable and is
related with bated. reverent breath by
the faithful members Of the sect.
According to the traditions Of the
community DR.. Newbrough found him
self unaccountably affected whenever
he took a pen in hand. and often he
wrote strange religious messages. He
conceived the idea that he had been
selected for some strange spiritual mis-
sion and Immediately began to purify
his life in order to be better fitted to
receive the celestial message. He gave
up eating flesh and fish, milk and but
ter, arose before daybreak, bathed
twice a day and occupied a small room
alone, where he sat every morning half
an hour before sunrise recounting daily
to his Creator his shortcomings in gov
erning himself in thought and deed.

George was sound asleep. It was
warm and the windows in their cham
Der were wide open. At last the child
slept well, but its wakefulness seemed
transferred to it's mother, She lay with
eyes shut, trying her best to fall asleep,
when suddenly she heard a stealthy
step on the porch. She was out of
bed and at the window in a twinkling,
listening with all her might. Surely
she heard the catch of the drawing
room window turn and the window
gently raised. Then the heavy sash
came down with a thud. there was a
groan and a muttered curse.
Marjory was thoroughly frightened
now. and ran to wake her husband.
George. George!" she cried, shaking
him. Wake up; somebody is break
ing in downstairs"
It was quite a little while before she
could rouse him sufficiently to make
him understand, then he had to get his
pistol, and Marjory feared lest the
dining room should be looted and the
thief gone before they arrived on the
scene. In spite Of Georges protests
she followed close at his heels. She
need not have worried, the drawing
room window was to serve her In good
stead. There across the sill, pinned
down by the sash. lay the burglar,
with his head in the room and his feet
barely touching the floor Of the We
randa. On the drawing Dom floor were
a burglar kit and a dark lantern. The
/ mans face was covered with a black
mask. For Gods sake, let me out
of this" he implored when he saw the
two.
"Oh. George. he will be killed" Mar
iory cried. and she started forward,
then. stopped. afraid to touch the pris-
oner. At the same moment her hus-
band held her back.
NO, no, my man, you must wait
I awhile he said. u think you are
safe for the present" Then he went
to the hall door, and whistled sharply
three times. Fortunately a policeman
was within ear shot and soon appeared
on the scene.

burglar to the officer, do you wan

"Oh. no" answered the policeman
choerfully. there is a good deal Of liz
In you yet. Here. put on the brace

cuffs from his pocket and fettered hi
prisoner before he went around on thu
porch to raise the sash.

MODEL ZOE
Jessie schIey Says She Must BE ReautI-
tIfuI and Bad

Milwaukee Correspondent Chicago
Inter Ocean: Miss Jessie Schley, who
went to Madrid to try to put a stop
to the .Spanish-American war, is des-
tined within the neyt few hours to be
the heroine of another sensation. She is
now planning to paint a modern Mary
Magdalene, and is to use a model from
real life. 81 am looking for a model"
said Miss Schley to-day, "who must be
beautiful, a blonde, and bad. All three
qualities must be pronounced. 1 do
not want anything mediocre. 1 will
paint her as 1 find her, with her paint
ed and powdered cheeks and 1ashy at
tire, and then I will portray her as
she might have been. 1 do not in
tend to make a nun of henry Mag
dalene will be modern. 1 will put my
best work on the paintings, and hope
that they will be the mean of doing
much good. I shall endeavor to make
the contrast between the two pictures
as striking as possible. In one there
will be portrayed a beautiful face filled
with the lines of evil; in the other
the face will contain nothing but good.
In this way l hope and trust the pic
lures will teach their own lessons,
and that they will be a sermon to all
who see them" Miss Schley said she
had a properly qualified model ION
trial" and that work on the paintings
would proceed as rapidly as possible.
During her search for a model Miss
Schley asked the aid of the police, but
they were unable to give her any help.
She found others, however, who inter
ested themselves in the matter. Miss
Schley, who is a relative Of the ia
nous Admiral, was one Of the most
urgent advocates Of peace "at any
price" during the late contest with
Spain, and she is said to be Of the
opinion to-day that her visit to the
Queen had much to do with the early
termination of the war.

While the coachman was having his

announcement to his family that he
must go at once to the upper PENN
sula on pressing business. Naturally
enough he omitted to state that he
was going in an %improvised fishing
party. Here's some money, Nan"
and he stopped to produce it, though
he had to quit packing a valise that
he had been stuflng as though he
were baling hay. Hire a man to
take care of the barn till Peter comes
back and use the rest Of 1t as you
want to-" When he was gone she,
having the usual Napoleonic financial
ability Of her sex, promptly decided to.
look after the barn herself and put the
money thus saved into a beautiful
summer dress that she did not need.
That evening it rained and she tripped
to the stables in a macintosh that
she tossed on the nearest part Of the.
nearest horse. in lieu of a convenient
peg, and was Immediately kicked a
dozen feet in a straight line. The
cook ran out and displayed her pres
ence of mind by turning the hose on
her mistress and playing 1t on her
until she had to revive In order not
to drown. When it came to putting
hay down into the hangers the cook
fell headforemost into the funnel
shaped chute made for this purpose,
and most of her blood had %gravitated
to her brain before the people in the
block, two policemen. a contractor,

cued her. She is in bed under medi-

Il ITALIAN WOMAN.
Center Sex Of That Nationality Res
hut Little.

Gentler Sex Of That Nationality Rea
but Little.
The rather low standard Of her Gull
ture tends to keep the Italian woman
behindhand in the march Of emanci-
patton, though one across re-
markable exceptions among those oc-
cupied with education Of literature and
and even in society, says The COntem-
porary. The Italian has a very acute
intelligence, which takes in with ex-
tr~aOrdinary promptitude anything pre-
scented to her mind, but she does not
cultivate it; once her studies ended
she closes her books; "adieu paniers,
vendanges sont faitesl" That most
useful help to feminine intellectual
development, reading, has not yet be-
come a habit with her. There are
countries where books are more used
by women than by men; rich, they
buy them; poor, they have the lending
library; in their yearly expenditure,
no matter how small it be, literature
has its place. There is nothing like
this in Italy. With the exception Of
a small minority, the women do not
read, and have no wish to read. Their
celebrated an~cestresses Of the six
teenth century must look at them with
reproachful eyes. If the shade of the
President des Brosses recrossed the
Alps he would find no Maria Gaetana
Agnesi, called the oracle Of seven Ian
guages and the servant OF the poor,
and declared by him to be more mar
velous than Milan Cathedral. Benedict
XIV. granted permission to this
learned Milanese lady to take her faith
er's place as professor of mathematics
at the University of Bologna during
an Illness Of the father. The tradition
Of feminine learning is lost in Italy
indeed, it was lost long before the
time of Maria Gaetana Agnesi. The
Italian Of to-day may yet prove her
self capable of emulating her great
forerunners, but in the meantime it is
certain that modern ideas have made
so much less way with her than with
the women of other European coun-
tries that she offers a more formida-
BILE resistance than even the men Of
her own land to any effort at reform
In favor of her sex. This inferiority
of culture has the double effect OF
greatly limiting the number of women
capable of taking any part whatever
in public affairs, and Of creating an
utter want of sympathy with the
emancipation movement in general.

Man's EARLY Career.
When William II. Seward left home
70 60 to Union college. like many an
other country boy he FELT ashamed OF
his rough homespun clothes. and the
thought OF them made him 20 uneasy
that he loon ran into debt with the
most fashionable tailor OF the place
The senior year in college began, but
the tailor had not been paid. Doctor
Seward would moi settle what he re-
garded as an unnecessary account, and
his son could not pay the debt while
remaining a student on a slender al
iOwance. The incident became 90 dis
agreeable that young Seward determin-
ed 10 make himself financially indepen-
dent. On the first day Of 1919 he start
ed secretly for Georgia, hoping 20 Sc
cur a position as teacher Of an acad-
envy. BY the time he was within 80
o. forty miles Of the end Of his journey
bis purse was almost empty and he
was compelled to proceed afoOt. His
strength and resources we're all but
exhausted when he came upon a log
cabin in the woods, which was FORUM
ately occupied by a family that had re-
Gently moved from Auburn, N. Y. The
young stranger received a hearty well
come, and was informed that the
sought for academy was In a settle
ment close by, and that his rural host
was a trustee. On the following day the
trustees met and examined the appli-
cant who then withdrew while his
case was under discussion. His posi-
tiOn was a serious one. with only
e-ighteenpence in my pocket, a thou

Seward, In later life. where was / to

with him. He was Don informed that
his application had been accepted, and
that his salary as head OF the academy
would be eight hundred dollars a year.
Seward gladly accepted. Proud Of his
appointment he sent his father a news
paper containing an announcement Of
It. DR.. Seward flew into a passion,
wrote to the trustees, telling them that
his son had absconded from college
without cause, bringing disgrace and
sorrow upon his too indulgent parents,
and that all who harbored him would
be prosecuted to the full extent Of the
law. This frightened no one, and it
did not cause the very independent
principal elect to alter his plans; but
by the same mail came other letters.
What a fathers anger could not do
was quickly effected by the grief OF
a mother and sister. Young Seward
obtained permission to resign On con-
dition that he should stay until the
arrival of a suitable successor. So after
successfully opening the new academy
he started for home. 1t was not until
he had been for some time a practising
attorney that Seward was able to lay
by a sum sufficient to pay for his
youthful vanity III clothes.-Youths'

CHINESE Plan
OF REFORM.

One of the few Chinese statesmen

ton. Now KaEg is in Singapore

watchmen. for his capture or life Is
sought by ~emissaries of the Dowager
Empress. When the Emperor was
in power he asked Kang to submit to
him a plan of governmental reforms.
Kang has given a summary OF h
suggestions which he submitted to his
imperial master. They might be of
interest az showing what a leading
Chinese reformer considers important
for the welfare Of the empire. Kang
says "I told the Emperor that all the
old customs and ways and manners of
his ancestors must be removed. Moth
ing could be usefully followed so far
as Chinese history was concerned. 1

footsteps Of Japan Or of Peter the
Great in Russia.

Il advised the creation Of - ne7

lines, and foreigners to be engaged Il

Il pointed out the enormous loss o
revenue that occurred yearly. TakinI
the magistracy of Namhoi (which
my native district. l informed tn
Emperor that the total revenue dc
rived from it was s240, 900 per year
but the actual amount going into tn

Il recommended a complete chang
