 The system of eXtOrtion and cOrrup- ton is brought home to the poor China man who may happen to have business before a mandarin il the shape of law suit. He knows this. and on that account dreads the ordeal. By a curi- 1us arrangement the plaintiff, as well as the defendant, must go to prison until the case has been decided. The man who accuses another of stealing his horse must crawl cn all fOurs from the door to the space set aside for that purpose in front of the Mandarin, and after he has stated his case either him self or through an official who is not a lawyer. but sort of notary, he must 1 duck his head and may not look up Then the accused person, in the same posture, has his h1aring. and if both are poor the case may be quickly de- cided. But if they have money both are sent to prison while the mandarin | considers the case, and during the term of their detention they are bled to the
 last dress.

AUGUST FLOWER

"It is a surprising fact" says Prof. Houton, that in my travels in all parts of the world, for the last ten years, I have met more people having used Greens August Flower than any other remedy, for dyspepsia, deranged liver and stomach, and for constipa- tion. I find for tourists and salesmen, or for persons filling office positions, where headaches and general bad feel ings from irregular habits exist, that Greens August Flower is a grand rem edy. It does not injure the system by frequent use, and is excellent for sour stomachs and indigestion" Sample bottles free at WakeIin's Pharmacy, or T. F. Hudson's

TOOK THE WRONG SIGN.

Quite humorous mistake, due to the haste of a motorman to get his car out on schedule time, occurred the other day on an up town trolley car. Tha mutorman had just time enough to set out of the depot. Once out he remem- bered that he had failed to put the sign, Base Ball Today on the front of his car.
 As it was against orders to go out without the sign he ran back to the place where they are usually piled up, grabbed one, and put it on his car. All the way along the route he noticed that

foreign officials, allowed the mission
 aries to do as they pleased. Whenever
 the missionaries were subjected to thz
 same eNtortionate methods as the na- 1 lives the cry was raised that the Chi | nese ara presenting the Christians ! and. rather than have the outside world ! believe that, the Chinese officials fa-
 vorcd the foreign missionaries to such
 an extent that they soon stood much ] higher than the Chinese and practically | above the law.
 The natives saw this. and many of ! them, in order to enjoy the privileges and advantages which were accorded 10 the Christians and to secure the pro-
 tection of the consuls and the minis ters. became converts
 Ire crop of converts was so large ! for a while that ths missionaries were | staggered and the home offices of the various organizations received reports which made them believe that the whole country would soon be Christian. They have discovered their mistake. but the people in Europe and in America still believe that the work of Christian | izinS is going on rapidly.
 As a matter of fact, thera are no l Chinese Christians except Catholics. The children attend the mission schools | in order to learn the foreign languages and to become batter fitted for busi- ness, and to insure protection for their families, but there is little Christianity in China. The unconverted become jealous of their Christian neighbors, and the result has been frequent rows and disturbances.
 The best proof that the Chinese have no quarrel with foreigners as a class is
 the fact that one never hears of a for eign merchant being molested. He travels alone, unarmad, through the country, stops in piac=s where he is the only white man, and feels as secure and as safe a he would in New York. That is because the people know that he is 9 trader whose coming means business, and possibly profit, to them. But the missionary is looked upon as a mischief maker, and is consequently disliked and I often molested. The missionaries whom I have seen in China were all well meaning and enthusiastic young | men and women. but in nearly every instance totally unfitted for the work. They were ignorant of the language and the customs of the people, and they all underastimated the magnitude of the work in which they were engaged. The Catholic missionaries in China come better equipped for the work. They know the language. and they come to stay. Furthermore, they become Q
 part of the community by practicing Q trade or a profession. They show less anxi t. to make converts, but they really make mora, and there are many Chinese Catholics all over the empire. The people of China know very we'll
 that the natives who profess Christi
 anity do so simply for selfish and mer-

A little girl carrying big tin dinner pail stopped on Broadway in front of Trinity church the other morning and began to cry. She was q pretty child, with light curly hair and a very dirty face. which was soon streaked with tears. Passersby thought she was lost. and a portly man who looked as if he might have some youngsters of his own, and accordingly would know what to dc in such a case. asked the child if she knew where she lived. At this very sensible question she buried her face in her hands and cried louder. Finally some one called a policeman. An off, cer appeared. who acted as if he had done nothing else in his life but look after lost children.

EIGHT YEARS DESCENT.

As means of identifying his party Stevenson is pretty small strawberry mark. His nomination in 1892 was a concession to the populist element of the democracy.

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW
Dun & Co. Say Prices Are Still
Too High.
COMPARISON Is MADE
GREATEST PROSPERITY WITH
COMPARATIVE LOW PRICES.

New York. June 15.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade:
A season Of declining prices is never
wholly agreeable to business men
whose stocks are losing their values.
There are times when the return TO
the highest prosperity in business is
not possible except through readjust-
ment of prices. The highest prosperity
the country had ever reached, prior to
the panic, was in 1892. with prices aver
aging not quite 10 per cent Of their
average in 1850. After great depression
for several years the highest point
reached with last years recovery was
so Der cent in March, but the gradual
yielding has already returned the gen.
eraI average Of prices TO shade less
than 20 Ger cent, practically where It
was with the highest prosperity in 1892.
Stock Of Iron Increase.
The ou1..ut of iron furnaces June
was 1885 tons weekly, an increase
Of 2,526 tons, making the yield only
1,63S tons less than at the highest point
ever reached, Feb. !. But the increase
Of unsol6 stocks 20 339, $50 tons, about
$4,000 tons in May dIscloses a larger
decline than was expected in the new
business upon which nearly all the
works and furnaces have now TO rely,
and reports that plants Of considerable
capacity have already been closed this
month seem likely to be correct.
Within q week or two the labor or
ganiZations and the employers viii be
discussing new demands for higher
wages and shorter hours, and the clos
ing Of many works for lack of orders
viii have much influence about that
time
Prices are gradually changing, an
thracite No. 1 TO so, and Pittsburg
Grey forge to $3.50 and sales Of bars
are reported there at $3.50. After the
closing Of furnaces and works has more
nearly adjusted present supply to the
demand, the fact that many large oper-
atoms are held back until prices have
been readjusted viii have its proper
influence.
Wheat is Buoyant.
Wheat has been advanced nearly 3
cents, with accounts of extensive in
jury to growing grain, and the exports
from Atlantic ports, -four included,
have been in two weeks Of June, ,93l =
167 bushels, against 3,526,S01 bushels
last year.
Pacific exports are 1,515,3SS bushels.
against 1055,5 bushels last year. and
corn exports 6,000,4 e2 bushels, against
1872, $50 bushels last year The active
movement from the farmers seems to
discredit many accounts of injury, al
though receipts have been somewhat
smaller than last year. Failures Tor
the first week of June were, in amount,
81 11S,S1S, of which S1,092,S7O were in
manufacturing, and $685., 236 in trading
concerns
Failures for the week have been 1872
in the United States, against 136 last
year, and tWenty-one in Canada,
: against eighteen last year.
