HOW CHINAMEN GET IN.
Discovery Made of Scheme by Which CeIestials Enter in Great Num-
 bers Into This Country.

Discoveries have just been made, says a Santa Barbara (Cal.) special to the San Francisco Chronicle, which are believed to establish conclusively that wholesale smuggling of Chinese from British Columbia into the United States through Santa Barbara has been carried on. The revenue officials were notified several weeks ago and for three weeks the revenue cutter McCulloch has been cruising in the waters of Santa Barbara channel in search of evidence. The smuggling scheme is outlined as follows:
 Lumber-laden vessels leave Puget Sound for southern California points, and, after getting well out to sea, run over to Vancouver, B. C., and pick up Chinese, which are ostensibly shipped as part of the crew. Some of these vessels put in to Port Hartford, San Pedro and other ports with crews more than twice as large as necessary. When sailing for the north the crews consist almost exclusively of white sailors.
 Another method adopted is the land- ing of Chinese on one of the islands in the channel, and they are brought to Santa Barbara as Abalone fishermen.

NEW DOCKS FOR LONDON.
Ten Million Dollars to Be Spent in Providing Adequate Facilities for Shipping.

In an interview with a Journal of Commerce reporter President Baker, of the Atlantic Transport line, am pleted for providing new docking facilities in London at cost of $1o,-
 100000. President Baker says in part:
 England is far behind America in its facilities for handling freight,
 particularly grain. At present the freight is unloaded into barges, then taken to place where it is weighed; there unloaded, weighed and loaded on another barge for delivery. The wharves are poorly arranged for the storage of merchandise, and the warehouses are 40 or 50 feet from the
 edge of the wharf England's cap ital is tied up, and is being pressed
 by the Americans and Germans. Ow- ing to the old-fashioned methods it costs about three shillings per ton to handle the freight after it arrives in London, while it only costs one shil- ling per ton here. The Leyland com pany and the Atlantic Transport company will carry to London 50,00O tons of freight every week, or about S,5Uo,OOO tons year, anu lt VIII DC
 readily seen that the saving by the use of American methods winch we shall introduce will be very great.

 docks or basins by the Leyland com pany and the Atlantic Transport company, on the community-of-inter- ests system, even if only one shilling per ton is saved, it will mean an in come of 12A to Is per cent. on cap ital of e 2 DOC. .O0O''

Says He Is Lively as a Cow.

Being "lively as COW" is the pe- culiar qualification claimed by Harry E. Blair, of Girard, Kan, in letter which was received from him by the Chicago naval recruiting station the other day relative to being enlisted in the navy. Girard failed to state, however, the age or kind of cow he has reference to and Capt. Perkins, of the recruiting station, is puzzled to know what sort of seaman he would make. Girard wrote the following letter.:
 ''Dear Sir: saw your naval papers at Girard and thought would write to tell you what sort of a chap am. I am 16 years of age and went to school nine years. I weigh 1o7 pounds. I did weigh 122 pounds until I began to work in the harvest field. am over five feet in height and as lively as COW. would like to hear from you'

To the Berlin cores pendent of the Chicago Record Herald he declared that argument could not in any manner forward tine matter. Statistics will not accomplish what experiment. alone can do.
 Dr. Koch said it was now demon strated that human tuberculosis could not be transmitted to cattle. By care ful watching the reverse of this would be indisputably proved.
 He did not wish to dismantle all the expensive systems of regulation, in spection and prevention now in vogue, but he thought it wise not to add to these systems useless appendages. The remedy, he believes, is almost within reach.

MERE MONEY MATTERS.

Treasury officials figure out an ac- emulation of s54O. 100000 of gold within year.
 Germany received Ss,4Os,oo0 gold from New York in the fiscal year 1901, against $4.76s.Oo in 1900.
 In the fiscal year 1900, France took S14, 4,024,2 ,240 gold in all from the United States. In 1901, we sent her $21, 1,742,- 900.
 There are BOA s1 ,O0O notes in circu- lation, 166 $500 and 2s,179 in s1oo. The new silver certificates will be in $1, g and $5.
 Nearly three times as much stock was dealt in up to July l as last year, and over double as much buy ;ng of bonds.
 Loans at the Bank of Spain, on Au- gust l, were $2O, ,000, ,0o0 greater than they were 12 months before. This re- fleets improving trade.
 The Bank of Austria Hungary holds S6, 500, ,oO0 more gold and $6, sS0, ,0O0 more silver than it held year ago, yet it's loans have decreased $2, ,57O, 900.

ITS AIkIS AXE NOBLE.
Plan of the Christian Builders
 Union of Chicago.
Would Restore Harmony Between Capital and Labor by Making the Golden Rule the Guide of
 Every Transaction.

If the Christian Builders union succeeds in its purpose the time will come when there will be neither la- bor unions, strikes nor .lock-outs. Every man in the building trades will be a teetotaler and Christian gen. tleman. It is hardly expected that buildings will be erected in Chicago to an accompaniment of prayer and psalm singing, but there will certain ly be praise and thanksgiving if the new organization accomplishes its aim. If employers and employees have differences they will apply the good old golden rule, and strive with good will and mediation to reach a just solution of their difficulties.
 "I found I had to quit either my church or the union," said Henry F. Berck, contracting carpenter at s10S0 West Harrison street, Chicago. who has been the prime mover in the new organization. ''At the union meetings many of the men cursed and fourished revolvers, and as a Christian man I concluded it was time for me to get out. I noticed also that the old unions worked against each other, and that many of the members were addicted to drink, which is the great curse of mankind. It seemed to me that it was time Christian workingmen got together to form an organization and do business on Christian principles.
 'Our union started with 60 charter members, and we have many applica- tions from men in all parts of Chicago, and even from other states. Our or ganization does not attempt to fix a scale of wages, and it is wholly differ ent from the old unions. It takes in employers as we'll as wage workers. We also admit dealers in building ma

terial, and we shall take in honest real estate men, though it is hard to find honest men among them.
 "In order to be admitted to full membership a man must be a Chris tian, but we will take others on proba- ton. We shall have devotional meet ings at the churches from time to time, and we purpose organizing a Catholic branch for the benefit of members of that church, several of whom have asked to join. As all mem bers will be Christians, business will be done on the Christian policy of live and let live. There will be no strikes or locl1outs, for if employer and em- ploye can't agree they will go their separate ways. Every member must sign a pledge promising not to touch, taste or handle any intoxicating liquor while member of the organization. We believe liquor to be the cause of many evils, especially among working men, and we intend to fight it all along the line. We shall also discourage the use of tobacco, and members are ex- pected to abstain from profanity.
 "You ask how our union is going to help it's members in material way? :? We'll, here is printed list of the mem bers just issued. It contains all their names and addresses, classified by trades, and contractors are indicated by stars, This directory will be issued from time to time and will be an inn portant feature of the organization, We expect members to help their fel- lows. Christian contractors will nat urally prefer to employ Christian men. On the other hand, laboring men can apply to these contractors with the assurance of receiving Christian treatment. Members are expected to aid each other in finding employment. If one of them hears of an open job he will notify some friend in the union who may be in need of work. In other words, the union will run on the prin- ciple of cooperation and Christian helpfulness. When we are thoroughly organized we believe it will be possible to put up building without the labor disturbances now so common.
 MT. Berck has been chosen president of the union. The vice president is c. D. Hill, contracting painter at ETA Claremont avenue. The secretary is Frank Marshall, carpenter at liar vey, and he has an assistant in the per son of w. T. Hart, cabinet maker at | Wrightwood and Ayers avenues. The treasurer is Richard Oates, car pehter living at 295 Campbell avenue. President Berck's shop at 10s0 West Harrison street is the headquarters of the union.

a Sweeping Decision Regarding
Common Law Marriages.

St. Louis, Nov. 27.-The United
States court of appeals, in reversing
the decisions of the United States
district court of the Indian territory
and the Indian territory court of ap-
peals, which were in favor of Rose
Pryor, who sued Samuel T. Davis, a
wealthy merchant of the Cherokee
nation, for alleged breach of promise.
decided yesterday that common law
marriages are legal.
In delivering the opinion of the ap-
pellate court Judge Adams said:
Marriage is a civil contract and
may be made by any persons of diff
ferent sexes competent to make such
contracts While commonly entered
into with some ceremony, either civil
or religious, it may be consummated
without any ceremony. If a man and
woman, in good faith, agree to be-
come husband and wife, and this
agreement is followed by a consist
ent and notorious cOhabitation, the
relation OF husband and wife is law
fully established"

buried on a vacant lot at Eleventh
and WyandOtte streets last Monday
night, was disinterred at nine o'clock
Saturday night in the presence Of
several thousand spectators The
coffin in which he took his long sleep
was placed on a platform, and six
men lifted his body out and let it
rest on the blankets. An alarm clock
was set off close to his ear, and be-
fore the bell had stopped ringing
Athena began to move. Finally he
opened his eyes, and the six men
lifted him to his feet. The crisp
night air revived him rapidly, and he
tried to talk to the crowd, but it was
so noisy that he was compelled to
give it up, and asked to be taken to
the Baltimore hotel.
A doctor took AthenO's pulse and
found it registered at So When he
was inferred last Monday night his
pulse was rs. At the hotel his tenn
perature showed 100. His upper lip
was split in the center from the dry
