Plumber the Original Motive.

There can be no doubt that the chief
motive at the beginning Of the present
demonstration was the hope of rich plum
der in the great province of Pei-Chin,
which lies north across the marshy plains
Of the Yellow river The political COM
plexion Of the movement has been supplied
by those who, like many earlier Chinese
intriguers who have simply used the al
ready organized secret society to accom-
plish their purposes. 1t will not do to
believe TOO much of what is told of the
rabd anti-foreign sentiment among the
Boxers At Tai-an. right in the heart of
their home country, for over twenty years,
a most successful mission has been main
tained and one of their largest native
congregations is ia the village of FNei-
Cheng before mentioned. Neither the
missionaries nor the native Christians at
these points were disturbed.
1t seems strange If the Boxers were
starting out on a mission of extermina-
ton that they did not begin with the
foreigners nearest at hand, or why If they
had overlooked these that they should at
tempt to force a difficult passage north
across the flats and marshes instead of
attacking the treaty port of Chifoo or the
German settlement al Kiao-Chou, both of
which were near and easy to reach. After
leaving their province. the first point the
bOASIS STRUCK Was Cnef- UnB-Iu, a large
city lying at the foot OF the mountains
near the western boundary OF Pei-Chili
Cheng -ting-fu is an old city and has one
of the finest ancient temples 10 be found
in China with an immense bronze Buddha
over sixty feet high. The Catholics here
have a large mission, claiming over $4,000
converts, and a fine cathedral. When the
Boxers attempted to loot it, a pitched bat
tie occurred with the native Christians in
which the Boxers were beaten with a loss
of seventy killed. The Catholics claim a
million converts all told in China Ad-
Vancing northeast about fifty miles, the
Boxers reached Pang-ung-fu, the capital
of the province which lies about eighty
miles southwest of Pekin, and almost 100
miles due west of Tfen Tsn with which
II Is connected by river. Pang- tingAfu was
the present terminus of the Luhan Rail-
road, being built by the Belgian syndicate
from Picking southwest 10 Ian-kow a dis
lance of about 500 miles. At Pang- ting-fu
the Boxers ignored the presence of a
large body of American missionaries, but
attacked the party of Belgian engineers
engaged on the road, and pursued them
when they attempted TO escape down the
river TO Tien Tsiu, finally cutting or and
killing several of the party.

Taking his cue from q wise Giaswegian he has bidden his colleagues to con sider he question for month. He has drawn a veil of anonimity around his plan, and until the officials have had time to prepare it means to keep it as dark as coal mine.
 This year the Manchester city gas works will use 5UU, ,G00 tons of coal and camel. Already the increasing cost of it has sent gas up three pence per l,Go0 cubic feet. Of the extra 5Cu,00O times five shllings, say 50 per cent. is clear profit to the mine owner. But coal is dearcr as gas is costlier, and the contri- button of { 50,0&0 d year to the city rates out of gas gain is ir jeopardy, all of which need not have been if the Manchester rate payer could have been digging his own coal as well as making his own light.
 Those who are of the corporation predict that the project will come to fruition and special bargains in coal mines are being looked for. The chief rock of offense will be that colliery ex- ploitation is too hazardous and specu- lative business for the public to touch. To which the answer is that when you buy coal you pay for all min- ing risks, and that citizens pits pro- ducing l0,0G0 tons a week would pro vide their own insurance.

GOING HOME RICH.
LsDlAndsrs Who Took . Hssa .Ss Reindeer to Alaska for tAO
 Government.

Dr. Sheldon Jackson, Oomma0AionOe o6 education for Alaska, has conveyed across the continent 2S Laplanders who were sent by the government to Alaska 30 months ago with reindeer and who are now on their way home to Jokkonkk. The Laplanders, says the New York Sun, were sent to Alaska early in the Klondike excitement with reindeers that were to be used as beasts of burden and food by the starving miners. The Klondikers were found to be less needy than was supposed. and the deer were not used for food. The Laplanders were employed as mail car riers and deer drivers at a salary of $26s year each, besides food and cloth ing. They are now going home rich beyond the dreams of avarice with from $500 to $700 each, enough to keep their families in afiiuence for years.
 Of the $40 deer imported by the gov ernment many died of starvation be- fore they reached the tundra, hay be- ing found so rich diet that they would not eat it. Later TOO reindeer doe were brought over from Siberia, and the Alaska herd now numbers nearly 5000. Dr. Jackson says the services of the Laplanders to care for them are no longer needed, and that they will in crease rapidly under government pro tection. He looks for them to become ultimately an important source of wealth in interior Alaska.

A boy of about IA, with well-worr clothes and face in which timidity and determination struggled for the mastery, entered the office of shipping house on Front street one day lately says the New York Times, approached the desk of him whose appearance spoke the control of the establishment, and catching his eye, said

BIBLE WITH ROMANTIC HISTORY
It Was Pound on Che Plains and Used
 on Many Ceremonial Occasions.

IT Was Found on che Plains and Used
 Many Ceremonial Occasions.
 The Bible which was used in the ceremonies beginning the celebration in this city of the fftieth anniversary of the state of California has history that is very interesting. In 1S49 a young man in coming across the plains found pile of books by the side of the road with a stick stuck among them bearing note telling travellers to help themselves. The young man in searching through the old volumes found a handsome Bible, which he con sidered shame to be left upon the dreary desert He placed it in his pack and carried 1t to Sacramento. He presented 1t t0 Dr. k. H. Mcdonald, who at that tlme conducted a drug store 5in that city. Some time after the advent of the Bible into Sacramento a meeting was called in that city for she= purpose of founding a lodge of Masons. That was on Jan. s, 1850, and the lodge was to be known as Connecticut Lodge, No. E. It chaneee that the meeting place was adjoining the premises occupied by Dr. McDon aid. When it was convened it was found that there was no Bible at hand with which to conduct the ceremonies and Dr. Mcdonald presented the book that had been given to him by the young man for 'the lodges use. On the 18th of the following April the grand lodge of Masone was formed and the Bible again played an important part in the ceremonies. After the form ation of the grand lodge the name of Connecticut lodge was changed to Te- hama lodge, No. 3. but ever since it's establishment on Jan. 8, 1850, the Bi- ble has remained in the possession of the lodge R. o. Craven a prominent officer of the lodge. has been appointed to represent the lodge here during the Jubilee exercises and serves as the GUS todian of the prized old book during it's visit to this eity.-san Jose (Cal.)

#soa bless Country.

Tn spite of British rule, India is vir- tually a soap1ess country. Throughout the villages of Hindustan soap is, in- deed. regarded as natural curiosity. and is rarely if ever. kept in stock by the native shopleeper. Tn the towns it is now sold to a certain extent, but how small this is may be gathered from the fact that the yearly consump- ton of soap in India is about 100000 hundred weight; that is to say, every 2,5oQ persons Use on an average only ff2= pounds of soap among them; or. in ethef= words considerably less than an ounce is the average consumption Of a person.
