was the most difficult problem ever
Srestled with.
"Finallyan idea struck me. I would
put another $10 with that of
the Chinaman's and take the entire
subtreasury force out to dinner. It
was the only way I could conceive
whereby to rid myself OF that beastly
roll Of silver.

dish on the board seemed branded
with the accusatory legend 'Ah Sin.

tribes, whose manners aud religions

none were so vile as the Christian.

And when 1 had returned to my own
land and found that the Christian was
seeking to SOW the seeds of his relig-

my heart, and made a vow that while
[ lived my hand should be raised
against him and my voice against his
teachings.
early the next day communicated
with foreign missionary association
and pledged myself to pay each quar-
ter throughout the remainder of my
life an interest of ten per cent. per
month on that $40 deficit, the amount
to be applied solely to Chinese mis-.
sions. Therein lies my one hope Of
some day reaching my unintentional
victim and of convincing him that all
Christians are not like the one he may
have mistaken for an example of the
creed. st Louis Globe Democrat.

SUED FOR A SHOCK.
An Amusing Case That Has just Made
Washington Laugh.


Washington Laugh.
There was a funny case tried in the
Washington courts recently. A
butcher of the name of Nealon had an
electric fan in his stall at the market
to cool the atmosphere and drive away
the flies. 1t was manipulated by q
small thumbscrew beneath the coun-
ter, and when Nealon discovered that
he could charge his body with cleo
tricity by placing his hand or his foot
against the thumbscrew he INDUCED
in practical jokes upon such of his
customers as he thought were amiable
enough to endure them. When some
handsome young girl or jolly house,
wife would pick up leg of lamb or
q roast Of beef to examine it Nealon
would place his hands upon it, close
The circuit, and she would receive an
electric shock. Nobody was hurt or
badly frightened and Nealon made a
GOOD deal of fun for his customers.
One day, however, man of the name
ot William Schultz, who has no sense
OF humor and hates practical Jokes,
picked mp piece of corned beef from
the counter Of Nicholas Auth, who
had the adjoining stall. Mr.. Auth
had left his place in charge of Neigh
Dor Nealon for q few moments while
he went to do an errand. When he
returned Mr.. Schultz, who was one of
his regular customers, was dancing
around like a wild man and crying for
vengeance. 1t seems that Nealon,
with his hunger for fun, had taken
hold of the chunk of corned beef
which Schultz had picked off Mr..
Auth's counter and had given the
nervous man q shock from which he
claims to have suffered both in body
and mind. The butcher tried to
soothe him, but he would not be con-
soled, and went straightway to a law
yer and brought suit for $40, 900 dam
ages against Mr.. Auth. The case was
tried this week, but the jury found
for the defendant on the ground that
Mr.. Auth had nothing whatever to do
with the case. While twas his corned
beef it was Nealon's electricity, and
the latter was responsible for what.
ever damage Mr.. Schultz had suffered.
Schultz had sued the wrong man.

pronounces 'an outrage unmatched
in fend-like atrocity, through all tho
annals of the war" 1t was the mas.

exemplary Christian schoolmaster,
and ten pupils, eight boys and two
girls. There were eleven children
in the school, but one boy escaped

On the above data daring the

care of the teacher, were pursuing
their studies In the little log cabin,
when suddenly from the pine forest,
emerged number of Indians, who
fell upon the master and his pupils.
The teacher offered his life and scalp
in a spirit of self-sacrihcing devotion

lives OF the little ones under his charge

The school house was located on a
fayine, near a spring. Down this
ravine the savages fed, after having
committed their fendish work and,
coming to the Conococheague Creek,
they travelled along its bed to conceal
their tracks as far as the mountain,

Josephine r. Wlthers of Hale county,
Alabama. The Supreme lodge refused
to pay policy on the life of her hus-

paid to him. 1t was contended that
the secretary was the agent of the
policy-holder, but the court holds he
was the agent of the Supreme lodge,
and that his neglect did not make the

Blind People.

So far as the most recent statistics
20, the known proportion of blind peo-
pie is about one in fifteen hundred,
which would give a total of one mil
lion blind in the world. The largest
proportion is found in Russia. which
has in Europe 100000 blind in popu-
Iation of S6,OOO,OOO, or one in 4SO.
Most of these are found in the north
ern provinces of Finland, and the
principal causes is ophthalmia, due to
bad ventilation of the huts of the peas

treatment. There is a great deal Of

COMMISSIONERS NAY CONSIDER.
Authorities VIII Probably Take Up
Matter of Fast MINING Cars.

OF Fast auuutuG
1t is stated that the Commissioners will
soon consider the question Of the fast run
ming of the street railway cars On ac-
count of the prosecution OF a number Of
nrotormen In the Police Court and the
statements made by them the question OF
regulating and determining the speed OF
the cars has been discussed in official cir
Giles. A number OF complaints have also
been made because the railway companies
require their cars to be run on schedule
time and provide no instrument by which
the motormen can tell IL they are violating
the law. Major Sylvester received letter
this week from one of the mOtormen. who
fairs. In his letter he tells OF the many
years he has been in the service Of rail
way company and OF his large family. de-
pendent upon him for support. He said
that men employed by the railway COM
panies are heavily taxed for SIGHT in
fringement of the rules by being put off for
from three days to a week. If the motor
men were at liberty to talk when they are
called before the court. the writer says. he
knows their cases would be inquired into.
The time allowed by the company in
which to make the runs. he informs the
major, is not long enough to allow the
trips to be made without violating the law
indicators on cars. he argues would be OF
no assistance to the motormen. for IL they
comply with the law and run their cars be-
hind time they will be dismissed and IT, on
the other hand. they are arrested forNobey-
ing the orders of the company they are
nned. In conclusion. he says that II the
near side rule had been in force two weeks
ago the fatal accident at 9th and r streets
