PLANS A HUSBAND BOUNTY.
Japanese Government Proposes to
Reward Girls Who Marry Col
lege Students.

Maidens of Japan who succeed in
interesting young Japanese students
long enough to induce them to get
married will be rewarded in the near
future with matrimonial dowries by
the mikado's government if the plans
of leading japanese statesmen prove
as successful as expected, according
to Secretary Somma, of the Japan
csc consulate in Chicago, reports the
Chronicle.
What led the secretary to make the
announcement as to the prospective
husband bounty bill was the pub
ished account of the lecture in which
Prof. Starr, of the University of Chi
cago, made the sensational state
ment before his class in anthropol-
ogy that the marvellous advance of
the japanese in the learning and civ
ilization of the western countries had
proved too rapid and was making
them the victims of an epidemic of
brain fever that threatened their ex-
tinction as a nation.
statistics show that students in
Japan are affected more by eye trou-
bles from overstudy than by brain
fever,' said Secretary Yomma. 1T is
true that our young men are very
studious, but our young women are
not expected to be scholars. They
are encouraged in the cultivation of
feminine graces and charms, and it is
becoming a fad with some of our
statesmen to advocate a liberal mar
rage bounty for the maiden who
proves herself sufficiently fascinating
to cause a young man at college to
forsake his books long enough to get

CAUGHT IN A TRAP.
Civil Service Men Reveal a Big
TraGc in Chinese.

Washington, Aug. 26.--Probably the
most important arrests ever made in
connection with the smuggling of Chi
nese across the Mexican border into
the United States were made Friday
in Arizona when William NJ, Hoey, col
leetor of customs at Nogales; b, +.
Jossey, an immigrant inspector;
Frank How, Chinaman living in
Nogales, and another Chinaman living
at Clifton, Mexico, just across the bor-
der from Nogales, were taken into Gus
tody by special agents Of the treasury
and secret service operatives. Other
arrests are expected to follow within
a day or two.
Many Involved I'm Plot.
1t is stated that with two or three
exceptions the whole customs and inn
migration administrations at Nogales
are involved. Some time ago an Of
fetal of the treasury department hay-
ing Nogales as his headquarters wrote
the department that he had reason to
believe the official force at that point
was corrupt, and that Chinese in large
numbers were being struggled across
the border for a consideration. A Sc
cret service operative was sent there
at once and plans laid to secure evil
dence against the persons under sus-
picion.
Cinnamon Used as Detectives.
Several Cinnamon were furnished
with money and sent on to buy their
way through the official Gordon. This
was accomplished without difficulty,
the price demanded being from $50 to
$500. The secret service men also ar
ranged with one or two employees
whose honesty had been tested to go
into the collectors office at a certain
time and demand share of the money
beng received from Cinnamon and to
be admitted into the combination, so
that they might get their share of the
proceeds of future deals. This was re-
luctantly agreed to and considerabl
sums of money were handed over in
the presence and full hearing of a Sc
cret service man who had previously
secreted himself in a nearby office
closet. The officials soon found that
Cinnamon who presented q certificate
marked with the letter A were allowed
to proceed without question, while
those having certificates that did not
bear this cabalistic mark were turned
back without ceremony.
Secure Positive Proof.
Later on it was developed that the
letter A on certificate indicated that
the amount demanded had been paid.
Several Cinnamon were sent through
with the requisite A mark on their GER
tifcates made by one of the secret
service men. The utmost care and Sc
crecy was maintained from the first to
secure positive proof against each man
under suspicion. A special United
States attorney will be detailed to
prosecute the persons arrested.
Hoey was appointed collector about a
year and half ago.
The number of Cinnamon who have
bought their way into the United
States through the connivance Of the
Nogales officials is not known. but Il
is believed to be large. a special a gent
has been ordered to Nogales to take
charge of the Office if he finds it nee
essary.

Russia May Abolish Her NobiIity

At present the cars subjests are
divided into four general classes-the
nobility, the clergy, the inhabitants
of the towns and those of the coun-
try, says a St. Petersburg corre-
spondent. The nobility is itself of
two kinds, hereditary and personal.
An officer acquires a life nobility on
acquiring certain rank in the army
or navy. Those who attain the rank
of colonel in the army and of captain
in the navy become hereditary no
bles. 1t is most probable that when
the proposed reform of the Russian
system of class organization takes
place the nobility will cease to exist
as separate class in the nation.

Sir: President Mckinley struck down by the
hand of anarchy just as he had entered upon the
arduous duties of second term which the people
of this nation, by overwhelming majority, de-
clared he had fully .merited. AS man, the nation
mourns for him: a soldier. who in his youth was
quick respond to the call for defenders he will
be remembered with PRIDE a statesman his
name is indehly written upon the pages of our
national statute books. But above all other con-
siderations the memory of William Mckinley will
be cherished for his exhibition of Christian fortitude
in the hour of his affliction and even to the last
moment Of his life.
The mind cannot conceive of the motive that
could impel a perpetrate such a crime as
that of CZolgosz When Lincoln was assassinate ted
the land was divided in purpose and sympathy To-
day il is a unit and throughout its length and
breadth, men and women, irrespective of party af-
