ask for the same story. Tell it some
times without the moral and make him
supply that: another time draw from
him the reproduction of the story and
you point out the moral-the same one
each time, but in different way, and
with new light if possible. Sometimes
tell the story pure and simple without

this pleasant way children will absorb

will be made happier and brighter by
their desire to live more nearly like the

ON HIS WAY
TO FAR PEKING
President ofsChinese University
Passes Through Here on
CoptIc.

~ EV. w. A. p. MARTIN, ID, was
a passenger aboard the Coptic
Thursday en- route to Picking aft
er four months absence in The United
States, for the purpose of re-establshing
the Imperial University, of which, with
another educational institution, he has
been the distinguished president for
thirty years past. He is first cousin of
Professor W. d. Alexander, whose guest
he has been in this City during his
brief stay He is now "a years of age,
hale and hearty, and full of vim and de-
termination in the work of restoration
which he hopes TO accomplish at the
Chinese capital.
DIR. Martin strongly disapproves of the
policy of the United States towards Chi
ma in the lack of cooperation with the
European allies, although he is of the
opinion that the allies are not doing
their duty toward the native Christians
The Imperial University was estab-
lished by the endowment furnished by
the Chinese Emperor amounting to S4,-
0000 900 in gold which is now in the Rus
sian Bank. DR.. Martin shares a feeling
with others in regard to the fate of the
$4,000 Co., and the question now para
mount in the minds of those interested
in the university is whether Russia will
attempt to gobble up the money and
claim it portion of the war indem-
nifty. Dr. Martin CONTENDS Inat II tnlS
great university is deprived of its sinews
for educating the youth of China by the
greed of Russia, the whole civilized
world will make outcry and call a
halt upon the Russian Government.
AS to the loss of the library, DIR. Mar
tin feels that it is the greatest loss of
valuable books and manuscripts since
the destruction of the library at Alex
andria. The thousands upon thousands
of rare volumes and manuscripts, which
cannot be replaced, were utterly destroy
ed by flames and by ruthless and wanton
desire on the part of the Chinese to pill
lage The books that were not burned,
were cast into wells and cisterns, bur-
led, carried away, until not even a ves-
i tige of the library's former glory is left.
The building itself was saved, as it be-
longed to the Imperial family.
/ This building stood next to the Lega-
| ton structures and in order to make a
breach in the intrenched position of the
besieged people, the attempt was made
| by the Boxers and Imperial troops to
reach them by destroying the buildings
J adjoining which failed. DR.. Martin was
| one of the besieged and had charge Of
one of the most important gates on ac-
count of his great knowledge of the Chi
nese language. After being relieved, DR..
| Martin with the others made haste to
! leave the war-ridden country.
| For nearly fifty years DR.. Martin has
resided in China, and 1t is said he
| knows more Chinese literature than any
other white man in the Empire. He has
written a number OF books, among them
being 1.-THE Cycle of Cathay.'

ing the ambuscade which resulted in the
death of several men. When questioned
by the General, Morton led the former
to believe that Hawksworth had shown
cowardice and he was court-martialed.
The action of the play intensifies during
the storming of the blockade by the In
dams, who had uprisen from all parts of
the country. The bravery of Hawks
worth and the cowardice of Morton is
brought out when the former volunteers
to do courier duty in the face of almost
certain death, returning severely wound
ed to find that Kate, Mortons intended,
seeing the folly of her first love, throws
herself in ,Hawksworth's arms vowing
her love for him. CHER characters de-
! velop great interest during the action of
the play, particularly those of a true
Indian girl whom Hawksworth had be-
friended that of Scar Brow, the defiant
chief, etc. The heroism of Kate, the
villainy of Morton. the nobleness of
Hawksworth, the Major and General,
and the stirring scene of the charge of

the pipe of peace" are few of the
many strong features blended with suffi-
cent humor to refresh the serious mind
ed throughout four acts of one of the

PARIS BALLOON MAD.
People Follow Dumont Around
and Drink to His Health.

New York, Aug. "a dispatch to the
Journal and Advertiser from Paris
gives the following additional details
concerning M. Santos DUN ont and the
recent trial of his air ship. All Paris is
excited, as only Paris can be, over M.
Santos Dumont.
The "dirigible" balloon has become
the personal pride and joy of Parisians.
They knew the whole world was
watching every flight of this balloon
So their disappointment was acute,
their chagrin intense, their excitement
overwhelming when they heard the Dat-
loon was wrecked, first reports making
it appear that the young Brazilian
aeronaut had been killed
From all over the city people hurried,
taking the first vehicle at hand, run
ming, telling each other the news, first
toward the Eiffel tower, then to the
exposition Trocadero hotel on whose
roof they soon learned the balloon had
crashed. The accident was bad enough
but not nearly so bad as first flying
rumor had it. Santos Dum0nt was not
hurt, but only his astonishing GOODNESS
saved him from death. In fact, Du-
mont was infinitely cooler than the
thousands that quickly surrounded
him. AS soon as he found himself safe
he asked for a cigarette, which he lit
Dumont, in the ascent wore religious
medal given to him by the Countess
d 'Esu, daughter of the late Dom Pedro
en- peror of Brazil Half joking, half
reverentIy, the aeronaut kissed the
medal, saying 1T was this that saved
me-
Prince Bonaparte, Lieut.. Noix and
other skillfuI aeronaurs, have not lost
faith in the balloons ultimate success,
because they perfectly understand the
cause of the accident to 1.-THE failure
of the motor to pump air to fill the in
ner balloon SO as to compensate for the
gas which had escaped and so to keep
the great balloon taut, inflated. When
the stern fell in a f1abby way the screw
began to cut the suspensory wires, and
the only chance left to DumOnt was to
stop the machine and drift with the
wind.
NJ Deutsch was much gloomier that
his 10O,O 900 francs had not been won
than was Dumont over the accident.
Said the donor, much disturbed: Il
have feared an accident to some one
striving to gain my prize. I have
wished to retire, but the committee
said I could not honorabIy do so. So
I remain. But the course should be
changed so as to escape the danger of
falling into Paris
But Paris is happy that the accident
was not more serious. Everywhere
toasts are being drunk to the balloon
that certainly will sail. and to Dunn ont
who will guide it,
It is estimated that repairs to the
balloon will cost $4,000 francs. Mr..
Santos Dumont says it will be ready
on September l, and that he will make
another trial before September 10. when
the competition closes for 1901.

IRISH CAUSE GROWS.
Assert That Their Work Is Doing
Wonders in England

New York, Aug. Accommodating upon
the effects Of the changes of methods of
application OF closure rules in the house
of commons the Tribune's London cor
respOndence says: With the closure of
outstanding supply votes in classes fin
nancial, the business of parliament has
been greatly facilitated. There has been
much suppressed excitement and the
Liberals shook their heads ominously
over the abandonment OF the c0nstitu-
tional privilege Of tramping up and
down the division Hobbies over every
detailed estimate but the government
benches were relieved by the Hmita-
ton placed upon obstruction.
Captain Rowles. who in place of being
an eccentric comedian must now be re-
garded as a trenchant satirist on the
decline and fall of parliamentary priv
1lege was the only old Tory not in sum
patty with the new method OF dis
patching financial legislation by rail-
reading through the remaining votes of
supply in compartment.
The Irish members were. perhaps, the
happiest men in the house. They look
upon the enforced change In the rules
as practical demonstration of their own
power. Men like I. P. OfConnor con-
slider that the Irish cause has made
great progress during the last eight
months The Nationalist have been
reunited and are now led with firmness
and efficiency Chickering's have disap-
peared and the factions are welded into

CHINESE NEGOTIATION.
All Are Agreed on the Tariff as at
Present Scheduled.

Washington, Aug. 9-The following
exact statement of certain phases of
the Chinese negotiation is given from
authoritative sources in order to cor
rect some naisapprehension which has
arisen from published reports as to the
possible causes of delay in signing the
protocol at PeIxin:
All the negotiators are agreed on the
tariff matter. The present ad valOrem
tariff is to be converted into a specific
tariff at the average rates of the pres
ent treaty tariff, 5 per centum effect
i've, and articles now on the free list
are to be included in the new specific
schedule. The details of this arrange
ment are to be left to a special COM
mission. to sit hereafter, probably at
Shanghai
The details of the arrangement for
the prohibition of the importation of
firearms, munitions and materials for
their manufacture were settled some
months ago. They provide for the
seizure by the foreign war ships Of any
Chinese or foreign ships entering Chi
nese waters with the prohibited ar
ticles on board, and also for such steps
as each of the several foreign govern
ments may deem 1t proper or be in a
position to take in order to prohibit the
expectation of arms and supplies from
their respective countries to China

advised Of the provisions Of an amend
ment to this article of the protocol

1t may be truly said that George
Klauer was the favorite victim in po
lice court Thursday. Eight successive
whirls Of the wheel of justice left Mr..
Klauer indebted to the city 5000 and 270
days of manual labor, but of course this
doesn't mean that he Will discharge the
enforced obligation. For many hours
Mr. Otis Hungate argued with the court
and spared with Mr. Urmy just as a
matter of form, of course. as he had all
intentions of appealing every convic-
ton handed down. 1t was extremely
interesting to listen to the damaging
evidence disgorged by some of the city
witnesses. The plaintive squeak of
Uncle 'sHib'' Case, who knew nothing
whatever of the place, and had never
seen a bar or any liquids in the joint,
was supplemented by the cautious re-
marks of Doctors Long and Rupln and
Mr. Frank Long. They all admitted
that they had frequently been in the
place, but had never imbtbed or seen
any wet goods whatsoever The legal
talent representing the defense smiled
broadly when the prosecution made an
1neffectual attempt to squeeze some adj
mission from the witnesses At reg
ular intervals a storm of words passed
between the rival law dealers and the
city detective was used roughly by the
defense when he told of the many
times he had seen beer delivered at the
institution. Mr.. Hungate minated
that Mr.. Brenard was infringing on the
rights of the legal profession by slight
ing the truth. With the disposal of one
count another was at once taken up,
and five different appeal bonds were filed
when Mr.. Klauer was allowed to go and
sin some more. The score stood s con-
victions against acquittals.
After disposing of Mr.. Klauer the
court took rest by listening to the
case against Jointist Hoffman for allow
ing his COWS to prune the garden of
Mrs. Smith who appeared in court with
a small child who insisted on giving
testimony of its own which had no
bearing on the case This annoyed the
court who has children of his own. Be
tween yells of disapprOval from the
baby, Mrs. Smith told how the COWS
had leaned over her fence in the early
morning and grazed on the vegetation.
Mr. Heitman took the stand and testi-
fed that he was not to blame although
he had paid the woman for the damage
done. His cows, he said were very in
telligent. They could climb a tree or
open a gate with the greatest ease.
The court advised him to keep the milk
producers in a combination safe and
pay the owner Of the garden $3.50 wit
ness fees.

and quiet of police circles during the

SUIT FOR SIOO,OOO,OOO
Is About to Be Instituted Against
New Workers.

New York, Aug. e.-Rebecca Ann Nc
Donald of Binghamton, n. Y, is said to
be preparing to enter suit to recover
property in the city. the value of which
is estimated at 500, O00. OOO Two hun
dred and eighty property owners are
said to be involved. The claims viii be
made under the will of Jacob T. Arden,
who died in 1903. He owned what was
then known as the Arden farm situated
on the east side OF Manhattan island
At that time it was wild land but it
now it situated in the center of the
most populous up town district of New
York Jacob Arden left a will leaving
his property to his only son, Jacob 5.
Arden. but provided in the Will that in
the event his son dying without issue
the property should go to John Sum
mers, his nephew. It is asserted that
John Summers sold his contingent
claim to Jacob S. Arden for $4,000 and
believing that he had thus purchased
the right to dispose of the property,
Jacob Arden did SO before he died a
bachelor. It is on this issue that the
claim of Rebecca Ann Mcdonald is
based She claims to be a granddaugh-
ter of Jacob S. Arden.
