The symptoms of this hideous disease can
not be mistaken; eruptions upon the skin,
sores or ulcers in the mouth and throat,
copper-co1ored sp1otches on different parts
of the body and the loss of hair and eye
brows, are infallible signs of Contagious
Blood Poison. Other and more destructive
symptoms follow, of course, as the disease
progresses; the whole skin surface is often
covered with a mass of sores, and even bone
and tissue are destroyed. This is not a
simple disease; do not trihe with it; terrible
as are the immediate effects, it is horrible

NEW YORK CHINATOWN.
FIRST PAPER.

pride in and that is his queue.
This appendage is always care
fully oiled, intertwined with
lusterous black silk cord and care
fully braided. He may be shah
by otherwise but his pigtail,
never. For living quarters, more
commodious but still too densely
populated for comfort, there are
the women-folks' quarters.
For some reason New York
Cinnamon seem to be unlucky in
procuring wives of their own race,
as there are but very few in
Chinatown. But, for all that, this
district fairly teens with the
gentler sex, and unpleasant as it
may seem, they are Of the white
race. And still more unpleasant,
the marriage rite in the majority
of cases is an unknown quantity.
But right here let me disabuse
your mind in regard to the
character, past and present, of the
Chinese female population. The
impression received would natu-
rally be that those unfortunates
are degraded, depraved, brawling
slaves to the whisky and opium
habit. If such a thought exists,
dismiss it, as it is wholly errone-
Gus. For in nine cases out of ten,
the opposite is the exact state of
affairs. It has been the writer's
privilege to have opportunities Of
gaining correct knowledge of the
domestic side Of Johns life and
he has found, almost without ex-
ception, that the white women of
the Chinese quarter are as refined,
as we'll cultivated and educated as
could be found in like number
of those who have not fallen from
grace. DR.. Parkhurst, the great
reformer, stated not long since
that to his own knowledge no
less than 125 ministers daughters
under thirty years of age were
residents of Chinatown and we
believe it implicitly. The cause
of this state of affairs would be
too lengthy to enter into, other
than to say that these unfortu-
mates know that from the despised
celestial they will receive treat
ment heavenly compared to bru-
tality of their civilized white
brothers.
We have often heard and read
that the Chinese are Of a sober,
solemn disposition and are not
capable of taking or making q
Joke, but such is not the case.
John Chink can joke and laugh
as heartily as any Yankee when
in the company of his fellow
Chinks or familiars Of the white
race, and on Sundays and holidays
Chinatown resembles nothing so
much as a crowd of schoolboys
out for frolic. They can not be
blamed for their solemnity in the
face of curiosity seeking strangers,
when we reflect how the rubber
neck" problem affects ourselves.
Almost without exception the
Chinks hold to the national CO.'S
tune of soft felt hat, dark blue
blouse, generally of silk, baggy
blue trousers, highwater style, and
rubber soled "chirkas" or slippers.
Chinatown is very poorly lighted
and would seem an ideal place
for tragedy Of the low-browed
villain variety, but to the credit
of the inhabitants it may be said
the locality is freer Of crime than
four-ffths of the great city out
side, and considering the hetero-
geneity of the cosmopolitans who
frequent Chinatown after night
fall it is a miracle that so little

series of articles attempting to de-
scribe in part the under side OF
life in the great metropolis of this
country, and having at various
times been requested to continue
in the descriptive line, we will
endeavor to comply with the
wishes of those interested.
Almost without exception, the
visitor to New York city is pos
sessed of a powerful curiosity con-
corning Chinatown and the Bowery,
and to have visited the great city
without having seen the sights to
be seen in those famous districts
is to the visitor and his eager
friends at home a trip well nigh
lost. No doubt it would be true
could the visitor see what the i'm
agination pictured, or even
what was to be seen, which
might not have been the tourists
good fortune had he traversed
those localities for a week, un-
less luck directed his footsteps to
a we'll known guide. And even
then his curiosity might be sadly
disappointed, for not even pilot
as famed as Steve Brodie, "Chuck"
Corners or "One-Eyed" molly
could produce the open sesame
to all the resorts in the, district.
Only the long acquainted and
thoroughly initiated may gain en-
trance here. We intend in this
article to give brief description
of the Chinese quarter and in SO
doing shall select Pell street as a
criterion, as Pell street contains
all that may be found in Mott,
Doyer or Elizabeth streets and
more beside.
Pell street lies just at the foot
of the Bowery, off Chatham
square, and is just one block in
length, ending on Elizabeth street.
It is in fact what we westerners
would term an alley-way, being
only % feet wide and so crooked
that not more than 20 or 80 feet
may be seen ahead as you pass
through. The buildings on
either side range from three to
five stories in height and, except
for the numerous balconies ex-
tending from them, differ in no
wise from those to be seen else
where. In fact they are buildings
that were used years ago for
stores and shops by the white
merchants, when the business
district centered in that quarter.
Pell street, though so small, is
nevertheless one of the most
thickly populated streets in
America. The Chinese popula-
ton of New York city is about
10000 and Pell street contains no
less than one-fifth of that num-
Der, or 5000. Rather close
quarters, perhaps, but still John
Chink seems to be very little in
convenienced and actually thrives
upon it. Pell street consists
principally of restaurants, stores
and workshops, situated upon
the first and second floors, while
the remainder of the building is
devoted to living or rather Sleep
ing quarters, for John lives where
he works and only occupies a
niche to sleep in. These sleeping
places, or Doss Houses as they are
called, consist of rooms filled with
tiers of hunks, ranged one above
the other, stateroom fashion, and
extending very close to the ceiling.
They will accommodate from so to
200 "chinks' according to the
size of the room, and for such
quarters an average charge of
thirty-fve cents per week is made.

STEPHEN CRANE.

Stephen Crane has achieved
permanent fame. I believe his
books and sketches will be handed
down to future generations as the
work of an original genius. F[e
died year ago, in little town in
Germany. He died young; he
was only 80 years old. He was an
American, and a newspaper man !;
a war correspondent during: the
Greeco-Turkey war, and the
Spanish American war.
Stephen Crane wrote of one
thing, and one thing only, that
was war When he attempted to
write outside of this his articles
became commonplace and unin-
teresting. But he could write of
war in a way that would fascinate
even the most violent advocate of
peace. All his books and articles
are noted for two things: Their
brevity, and their realism.
He had wonderful faculty of
comprising world of meaning
into a few brief, concise sentences.
He did not say: "a donkey has
an abnormal elongation of auricular
appendages.'' He simply said:
"a donkey has long ears and let
it 60 at that. Sometimes he used,
what are commonly called, "cuss
words" When he did use them
he did not go skirmishing through
a French or German dictionary to
get some foreign "cuss words" he
used plain old English that every
one who read them might under
stand There were no frills on
Crane. He went straight to the
point and called shovel shovel.
Some critics claim that he was
altogether too plain in his language,
and that it became actually coarse
and vulgar at times. Well, perhaps
this may be so, but it does not
alter the fact that beneath the
coarse exterior one could see an
original and unique genius, trying
to express itself clearly. Through
the coarse tumble of words you
could catch the CLEAN Of great
intellect which perceived but could
not transmit it's Impressions as it
saw them. And you knew as you
read that the mind that conceived
those sentences, and the hand that
penned them, we're only servants
of great, noble heart, throbbing
in sympathy with the sufferings
of mankind.
Stephen Crane was not much of
a church-goer or a praying man.
He did not worry much over
theology, or heaven and hell. He
was too busy observing the hell
that men make on earth to think
of the hell that men say is in the
other world. He did not write
many books or sketches; but what
he has written will live for ages
to come. His first book, maggie,
brought him before the public.
His next, "The Red Badge of
Courage made him famous. His
last, "Active Service" stamped
him as a literary genius. Two of
his sketches have never been sur
passed by any writer on war. The
first entitled, death and the
Child" is a brief picture of
battle in the war between Greece
and Turkey; the second, entitled,
''The Thin Red Line" is a sketch
of the Cuban campaign.
One trait that distinguished this
great writer was his absolute fear
lessness. During battle in Cuba,
he stood directly in the range of a
Spanish entertainment, and while
the bullets were killing men all

MINES AND MINING NEWS
OUR NORTHWESTERN MINES.
Items Cleaned From Late Reports

"A Prosperous Year Is Predicted
Mining Notes and Personals.

One of the greatest bodies of gold ore
being exploited in the northwest is that
shown in the Chickadee group of the
Great Northern Mining and Develop
ment company at Gilt Edge, Fergus
county, Montana. This company has
been operating about three years, and
mas cyanide plant on its properties
that is reducing about $500 tons of ore
monthly. The mill has worked more
than 100000 tons of ore, and there is
at present an estimated body of 100000
tons in the mines, blocked out and
ready for extraction, an amount sufi-
clent to keep the mill running steadily
for ten years. The ore in the vicinity
of the Chicadee is nearly all of high
er grade than the general average of
the cyaniding ores of that part of the
state. 1t is the opinion of nearly every
mining man acquainted with the dis
trict that the ore bodies follow the con-
tact of the lime and porphyry around
the rim of the mountains for several
miles This theory has been verified
many times of late, as ore has been dis
covered along the line of the contact
at various places for nearly five miles.

lead.
During the month of April the Green
wood smelter treated 1922 tons of ore,
an average of 377 tons daily, with one
furnace of a nominal capacity of 225
tons. The receipts of custom ore were
1850 tons. The balance of the ore
treated came from the company's mine.

The reports from London announc-
ing that lie Roi stock is selling at a
trifie less than f10 per share, have di-
rected considerable interest towards
the great Rossland mine On the basis
OF the stock quotation, the mine is
worth shade less than $4,000. 900.
That is practically three times what
was paid for the property when it was
bought by the British-American corpo-
ration three years ago from the Turn.

dition to this tremendous advance in
value it is OF interest to note that ST.

Laura Morgan's Body.

Colfax, Wash, May THE Laura
Morgan mystery is solved by finding the
body on sandbar in the Palouse river
four miles west of CoIfax.
Mrs. Morgan, who has borne up wonder.
fully, was nearly crazed when the body
was found. She was on the opposite bank.
The body was terribly swollen and de-
composed, making hideous spectacle,
and verdict that the body was that of
Laura Morgan, who came to her death
by drowning, with no evidence of foul
play, was rendered.
Laura Morgan disappeared on the even
ing of March II. She had been suspended
from school for one day for a slight in
fraction of the rules and left school with
two books under her arm. The next
morning her cap was found on a bridge
one mile west of town and her books Oh
the bank of the river near the bridge.

Took Land UnIaWfulIy.

Lewiston, Idaho, May Ga special in
vestigation just completed by the United
States land department discloses that
stockmen along the Snake and Salmon
rivers are trespls.ers on the public domain.
1t is expected that prosecutions will be
commenced at once.
For 100 miles along Salmon and Snake
rivers, Mr.. Meyendorf reports that cattle.
men had fenced in the whole river front
age, using barb wire in contravention Of
the state law. One man had unIawfully
fenced in over 5000 acres of land, and
several others have tracts almost as large.
Reports will be made to the general land
office and arrests will probably follow. The
penalty for this form of trespass is $1,000
fine and one year in the penitentiary.
Meyendorf says the section where the IL
legal practices are common is the greatest
stock country in the United States and
capable of furnishing homes for many
more people than are now there 1t is
splendid range for thousands of more
cattle but at present the cattle kings
are endeavoring to keep out Others and
have fenced in the whole country.
