The Chinaman's Quene.

If you see a Christianized-looking
Chinaman, sans queue and with good
head of hair on his head, don't believe
for minute that it's his own. Nine
times out of ten it's a wig. and curled
up underneath is his pigtail, carefully
preserved, lest at any time ne should
wish to return to China. A member
of a family of well-known wlgmakers
on Ninth street gave the secret away
last evening. She treats the heads of
bald people, and to one of her patrons
she said: Lots of Cinnamon from
Race street come to us for wigs. They
want to lcok like Lee Toy. the Mayor
of Chinatown, so they wear wigs and
some pay as much as $25 for them.
Lee Toy brings a lot of them to US.
But although they want TO look like
Americans, they won't sacrifice their
queues. From our third story We can
look into one of the Chinese barber
shops and there see our customers
come in take off their wigs and have
their heads shaved. just the same as
other Cinnamon who don't wear wigs

NOW NO DOUBT
ABOUT WHITE MURDER
Two of the Negroes Arrested in Phil
adelphia Have Confessed All,
duplicating the Third.

Philadelphia, May 30.-There were
three men engaged in the murder and
robbery Of Roy Wilson White, instruc-
tor at the University Law School, Sat
urday night, May 19, on Thirty second
street, below Powelton avenue.
The trio We're Henry Ivory, Amos
Stirling and Charles Perry, alias Al
Brown. The booty obtained was the
victims watch and ring, but no money.
Stirling struck down Mr. White and
plundered the pockets, while Ivory
stood close by, and Perry remained on
watch within 100 feet of the scene Of
the attack, to give the alarm in case
any one approached.
Stirling kept the ring as his share of
the booty, and gave the watch to Ivory,
who handed it over to Perry. The lat
ter took it home.
Charles Smith, Perrys roommate,
stole the timepiece last Monday and
attempted to pawn it, and in doing so
ran his own head into trap.
Beyond the fact that he had no hand
in the murder or robbery of the wound
ed man, Smith is exonerated of any
share in the crime by both Ivory and
Perry, and remains simple thief,
nothing more.
Stirling denies, even in the face OF
the positive declarations of Ivory and
Perry to the contrary, that he had any
thing 10 do with the affair, and even
persists in repudiating any acquaint-
ance with Perry and Ivory.
The police say that Perry, Stirling
and Ivory Were we'll known to one
another, and had been associating to-
gether prior to the robbery and MUIR
der.

said that this required a three-fold
training, a training of the hand. of the
intellect and of the heart The physi-
cal, the mental, and the spiritual sides,
and from his rich fund of illustrations
he drew many and iovial ones to press
his points home. His effort was high

METHOOiSTS TO WORSHIP
BY THE SOUNDING SEA.
New Site Secured for the Rehoboth
Campmeeting With DIR. Adams
in Charge.

Those who have been interested in
the annual religious exercises at Re-
hoboth have secured a new site for the
auditorium, which is now being re-
removed and will be put in excellent
condition for future use.
Rev. F. J. Cochran, representing
these Christian people, made repeated
efforts to purchase los for this enter
prise from the Rehoboth commission
ers but was met with such persistent
indifference and opposition that he and
his committee We're compelled to buy
from private individuals Some Of the
commissioners have resorted to very
unworthy measures TO hinder and if
possible prevent the continuance of
the religious services held by the camp
meeting people, but the enterprise
seems likely to continue and those who
are interested will trust that the future
may bring to them the consideration
they justly merit The campmeeting
will begin with an evening service on
Saturday evening, August IS, and close
September 2. In addition religious
services will be held each Sabbath
evening from July l to the close of the
season. Efforts will be made to pro-
vide the best pulpit talent that can be
had. Big Thursdays will be August %
and 80. for which special talent will be
secured that the occasion may be Of
interest and profit to the people at
large.
