Odd Things in China.

The poverty of China, says Mrs. A.
w. Wilson, in the Baltimore Sun, is
eart-breaking. While some of the
immense fortunes of the globe are
found there, yet such alject poverty l
have not seen elsewhere. The patience
and endurance of the millions while
hunger and cold stand at the door are
worthy of note.
l know that almost 200 foreign men,
women and children and thousands of
Christian Chinese were slain by infuri-
ated mobs last spring and summer.
There is seeming contradiction be-
tween my statement of patience and
the facts of the past year. Yet it is
true that out of the depths of want
there comes power of endurance that
is wonderful. In this power lies one
of the dangers of the present situation
the more that it is coupled with a
quiet resistance of nature, very diff
cult to combat.
Poverty leads to begging, which in
China is systematized. 1t is a legiti-
mate occupation, to which men, women
and children are trained. There are
guilds and officers, king, queen, treas
urer, etc. These reduce the organiza-
tion INTO working order. giving each
member his or her district. Thieves
are banded together in the same way,
and | have heard that neither these
nor the beggars ever intrude upon a
comrades territory. Only tramps in
wade another's rights. A tramp,
whether beggar or thief, is dishon-
ored.
BEGGARS INSIST ON PAYMENT.
Beggars collect at regular intervals,
and woe betide the family or business
house that refuses the small sum-but
"cash''--requested! In fact, it is
useless to deny the gift, for the entire
body in that vicinity would know how
to persccute the establishment for so
rash an action. The brotherhood
would appear, fifty or hundred strong
of loathsome men and women, nor
would they leave until double or treble
the amount was forthcoming. The
law does not hinder the fraternity.
The house where | spent the winter
was entered several times and the losst
were considerable. | think about the
fifth time member Of the guild was
| consulted and gave the clue.
The Chinaman has curious plan
for vengeance lie kills himself to
spite his enemy. No injury to a
Celestial is so great rs when the man
he hates commits suicide, for in the
land of ghosts the suicide may distress
him as could not be done in life. Moth.
ing can be worse than the enmity OF
the dead. Also i'll luck comes to the
family where a visitor dies. A host
makes haste to send his best friend
| home if illness attacks him while his
| guest. The inns are reluctant to re-
ceive such an one, and even the beggal
or thief who is spurned becomes q
power for evil to the family on whose
premises he may happen to die.
A coffin is most acceptable present
to the living. 1t is gift to be cher
ished with pride, for now the provision
for death is beyond peradventure
In some parts of China the coffin is
carried to the home with great pomp

For when a goose is dead that is the
end of him; but the memory of this
fock-now approaching and again re-
treating, the sound of the fall of the
great gander's body through the air
and the splash with which he struck the
water, and the sight of his graceful
form and proud and alert head and
neck almost within reach of my arm
this memory will remain with me for
many years.-Fo,est and Stream.

ones memory gloriously handed down

to the latest periods of time.

MADE TO PAY THEIR DUE.

X If the expenses of shielding the
public from criminals were paid
by direct taxation upon the prop
erty owners, as in the states, there
is no doubt that the people would
better appreciate the commenda-
BILE efforts Of the court and court
officers of the northern district.
One of the most notable features
of the courtin this jurisdiction ia
the refusal to shield bondsmen
who qualify for the release of per-
sons charged with crime.
They are made to pay up when
the criminals do not appear in
court to answer to the charges
docketed against them, and this
money goes largely to paying the
expenses Of conducting court.
In a great many, in fact most
courts the habit is to tighten the
burden of the bondsmen and to
absolye them from paying any Of
the amount of the bond over and
above the expenses in that partic-
ular case.
Another instance Of the watch
fulness of the officials of this dis
trict was furnished yesterday when
Prosecuting Attorney Soper in
sisted upon the payment of $500
by G. c. Ayers and George H.
Wilson who had qualified as sure
lies for Wolford Frost who failed
% appear in answer to charge Of
stealing cattle.

1t is very evident that President
Mckinley keeps himself well post
ed as regards affairs Of importance
in the Indian Territory. We have
not always approved of his ac-
tions, either personal or official,
and at this time record our en-
phatic protest against his retiring
to his room sick with the grippe
just as soon as it became generally
known that Postmaster Joe Butler
had recovered from an attack of
the depressing ailment.

out of his ring and went to the jew

home he found the lost set and, put

that set used instead Of the new opal
Rushing into the store, he said: "Say,

remove the stone from his mouth,

Several Of the territory papers
state that they are not 50 unselfish
to hope that Tams Bixby
will not be elected senator from
Minnesota because we need his
services so greatly on the Dawes
commission. Our friends need
not worry as Tom Lowry has en-
tered the field to succeed Senator
Davis and he will either win or
name the successful man, and it is
pretty safe to say Lowry will not
name Bixby.

THE ONLY RESTRAINT
Being Whatever Rules the Secre-
tary of the Interior May Make.
An Excellent Opportunity
for the Prospector with
"Pull."

An amendment proposed by tn,
senate subcommittee of the com
mittee on Indian affairs proposei
to give authority to probpectors tC
enter any Indian reservation in
che United States to prospect foi
gold, silver, copper, lead or zinc.
The amendment was discussed at
length by the committee Thursday
morning, and by very close vote
il was decided to report it favora-
bly,. This is but one of the impor-
tant amendments decided upon by
the committee at lengthy session.
1t is the most important, as it is a
matter which prominent members
Of the house committee on Indian
affairs say will not meet with op.
position in the conference on the
bill.
The bill will not affect Indian
territory lands, it is thought, in
case the word reservation" is
used, but there is a difference Of
opinion even on that question.
Several of the metropolitan papers
in printing the report from Wash
ington use the word Glands" which
would. beyond doubt, be inter-
dreted to include the lands of the
Cherokees.
Mr.. Hitchcock has frequently
exercised authority to allow pros
pectors to go on to reservations,
but has invariably been obliged to
stop their operations after a short
time. because his authority in the
matter was brought into question
by some conflicting interests. The
members Of both house and senate
are willing to allow the secretary
to have complete control over such
matters, and hence this amend
ment was proposed and acted upon
iavorably, as it provides that the
prospeclors may prosecute their
work only under such rules and

The goth Century Revival.

"Everyone who desires the betterment OF
the race" says the New York Tribune, twill
hope that the Goth century gospel campaign
will meet with large measure of success.
Broadly speaking, the object Of the move
ment which is projected by the evangelical
churches of the United States and Canada. is
to persuade men and women to lead better
lives, or. to use the churches phrase, to per-
suade them to accept Christ The central
committee in this city is sending letters to
religious associations and ministers in nearly
all the large cities of this country and Canada
asking them to form local organizations fol
the better prosecution OF this work. An
impetus has already been given to the move
ment in Boston, Philadelphia, Providence,
St. Louis and Newark. William Phillips
Hall, the chairman of the campaign, in COM
pany with F. II. Jacobs, the gospel singer, is
about to make tour of the country, and
will call meetings of the ministers IN all the
large cities in order TO lay before them his
plans. A representative working committee
is about to be appointed in this city and
everything possible will be done to stimulate
the interest of pastors and people in the
movement"
