PROFITS FROM SMASHING.
Mrs. Carrie Nation Said to Have Made
$4,000 From Her Work..

$4,000 From Her Work.
Mrs. Carrie Nation, the saloon
smasher, Is said, according to a Wichi-
ia (Kan.) dispatch to the Chicago Inter
Ocean, to have made enough out of her
crusade to keep her in comfort the rest
of her days. Reliable authority says
she has made $751; OF this amount
she will use $1,000 to build a cottage
in Topeka, and the remainder she will
invest and with the interest and profits
therefrom meet her expenses.
She has also reaped a good deal Of
fame, which will always be Of some
little benefit to her in the cause Of tenn
perance. He husband has jumped
into prominence as a prosecutor Of sa-
loon men, and he will continue to get
a large patronage from temperance
people over Kansas, who will continue
prosecuting saloonists whether they
win or not. There are enough cases
piled up against Mrs. Nation and her
friends to keep the courts busy for a
long time to come. and out of each one
David Nation probably will get a fee.

AN OF LOOT.

The Worcester Spy prints a letter
from a soldier serving in the Ninth
United States infantry in China in
which he says: eff 1 could have taken
care of and safely handled. all the loot
and plumber which /. had and could
have got, I would return to the United
States a rich man, easily worth from
$4,000 to $4,000, but I couldn't do It
and had to get rid Of what did fall
into my hands as quickly as possible.
I sold nearly $1,000 worth of loot. l
had silver bullion galore, beautiful and
costly furs of all kinds, silk in abun-
dance and a great variety Of precious
~ it, s had to dispose of it as quickly
as I could. l sold $1,000 worth Of
pure bar silver for 5000 Mexican mon
ey, equal to. 500 in gold.
81 have often stated in my palmy
days that l would like to have all the
wealth 1 could carry, and here is a case
Of where 1 have it. But it avai1s me
nothing, as the poor enlisted man gets
nothing out of the affair out hard lack
and with but one-fourth rations at
that. Many of the officers nave secur-
ed enough out of the affair to be
wealthy for life, and the higher the
rank the more loot they got. When
you read in the paper of the Americans
not footing, you can just wink the other
eye and be wise. The Americans and
the English were dead In the game, and
the English got a trife more than the
Yanks because they were a trife smart
er. The Japanese are the finest SOL
diers in the world today any way you
take them, and any nation wants to
think twice before Dumping up against

"Aunty" Rivers, a negro woman, the
only person Of that race yer permitted
