A Wonderful Offer to Women.

We have received word Of a most remark
able offer which Is to be made TO women by
The Delineator, of New York.
Taking the fact that next year begins .
new century, The Deiinedtor offers TO distri-
butte Sl7,500 among 1901 women. The plan
is 50 cleverly arranged that q woman living in
a small town or village, has just as good .
chance TO win ore Of these 1901 prizes ss .
woman living in q city-because the prizes
are gwen for the number OF subscriptions
secured IN town in proportion TO the popu-
latlon OF that town, instead of being given
SIMPLY to those who send the largest list of
ubScribers-which, Of course, are most easily
obtaned in big cities Another clever feature
Of the plan is. that all the cities and towns Of
the United States and Canada have been ar
ranged in seven classes The cities Of the
greatest population are grouped in Class l.,
and AS these cities are not very many the
prizes offered are twenty eight; the high
est prize being $500, and the lowest SIS. 90.
The total amount OF prizes given away in this
class is $1,000 The remaining smaller towns
and villages fail into SIX other classes, and as
the number Of towns in q class increases be-
cause, of course, there are more small towns
than large ones, the amount of prizes given
away to a class increases, 30 that in Class I,
there will be $4,000 distributed among FOL
winners.
Furthermore, to everyone who fails 70 win
one of the 1901 prizes there will be paid an
extra commission on subscriptions, provided
tlev equal one out of every two hundred in
habitanls of the town from which the con.
te>u,nt sends them.
This is altogether very liberal offer, and
enc which the famous old DelineatoT is well
able 10 make good From our point of view,
we do not see why such an offer needs to DO
made by the Publishers of The Delinedto- for
we believe it already has nearly half million
subscribers. Its strong hold upon the affec.
tons of American women has come In the
past generation, from its practical advice
about drass details and home matters.

A WOMAN'S CHOICE.
Less Afraid of Two Men Than one Alligator.

An old tourist was taking live
alligator home from Florida. He
had one about three feet long in a
box. This was much too large for
the road, according to the ideas of
the negro porter in the car, and he
kept his eye on it all the time.
He begged the man to put it in
the baggage car, but he would not.
The lady passengers were all in
the lower berths, and the alligator
was showed under one of them.
1t was about midnight and all was
serene when the porter looked in
and saw the alligator creeping
along the floor. He raised the
yell: "Alligator's out, alligator's
out" and broke into the smoking
room and shut the door. Every
body was awakened and much
confusion reigned, When the
conductor appeared upon the
scene the women were screaming
and scampering everywhere, One
of them was climbing into an up
per berth.
Hold on there, madam" he
said, there's man in that berth. T"
II don't care" she exclaimed.
"I'd rather be in a berth with two
men than one alligator. ."-Chakta-

II diplomacy. In Chinatown there


are many restaurants to which
American Summing parties, made
up of men and women go. Chinese
walters used to be in demand at
all these places. Then an Ameri-
can girl got job in one of them as
waitress. Trade left the other
restaurants and went to the one in
which the white girl worked. The
Cinnamon who owned the places
that were left out in the cold saw
that the attraction in their success
full rivals place was not entirely
one of astronomical nature, and
they too secured American wait
resses. By doing so they wrote
their death warrant of personal in
dependence. The white girls obey
ed orders at first, but then they
began to get acquainted with each
other. They talked over the i'm
mense profits of their employers
and the badness of the habit of
putting all the money under a
loose board in the floor until there
was enough there to provide for a
ticket to China and a subsequent
residence of luxury there. They
thought the money should stay in
Chicago and should be scattered
instead of being in one bundle
They had the advantage of
knowing Chicago and Chicago Gus
toms, they had fair idea of police
workings, and knew enough police
men to keep the obnoxious blue
uniform out of the place while a
quiet pipe was being smoked.
They kept what meager books were
essential to the conduct of the
Chinamen's business, and soon
they were partners, in all but
name, of the tea stores, the restau-
rants, and the gambling places.
Their employers consulted them
about business ventures, and they
began to demand more money. In
every case they got it. Then one
girl got married to a Chinaman
and then another. Now there are
20 white wives of Cinnamon in the
colony, according to one of the
wives, and several courtships are
in progress. AS soon as a marriage
took place the wife insisted upon
costly presents. The groom, whose
love was an outgrowth of his busi-
ness instinct, urged on in many
cases by his sweetheart's declara-
tion that unless he married her she
would go to a rival employer,
yielded to the gift-demanding bride
and she was soon arrayed in the
most costly kimonas and robes of
Chinese and Japanese pattern.
Then she got bolder and insisted
that she should handle the money.
OF course her yellow husband OBJ
jected.
"If you don't give it to me-" the
wife would say, "I'll leave you,
and then where will you be?"
She got it.

KICKING At EXPENSES.

al expenditures, Americans do an
unconscionable amount of corr
planning over public disburse-
ments. The cost of running the
Government is perennial source
of satisfaction to persons whose
greatest delight in life is to bewai
national extravaganza. am not
sure that many of our citizens
would not be really unhappy if
they had no excuse for grumbling
on that score. I dare say that
millions of dollars are wasted an
nually by public officials. have
a firm conviction that for the NEST
part of this wastefulness is due to
the demand of the growing sui
fragans for public money to i'm
prove (?) creek beds that are dry
in Summer and harbors that exist
only in the imaginations of the
beneficiary communities. But, for
some reason, the average citizen
does not complain of this form of
looting the treasury. He may be
influenced by the same consider
ations which induced the juror to
vote to acquit the fellow who stole
hog-he had a part of the pork.
Most of our railing is against
salaries paid officials. tits sense.
less complaint, offspring of ignor-
ance and envy. No doubt we
have government parasites filling
positions created to provide berths
for serviceable party men. These
are not paid too much salary
they should not draw any at all.
But the men who really are need
ed are not too we'll paid. As a
rule they are not paid enough.
1t is an established fact that
man who has been in the Govern
ment service for any length of
time is never good for anything
else, and as he is seldom good for
much to the Government until he
has seen considerable service, he
ought to receive a salary large
enough to enable him to lay up
something for rainy day.
Our high officials are notoriously
the poorest paid in the world.
Yet we grumble in season and out
of season over alleged high sala-
ries, Suppose that we had royal
family! Then, indeed, we might
talk. The Gear of Russia is allow
ed $4,000, 900 for himself, and no
body knows how many millions
for maintaining the court. King
Edward of England, etc, draws
So, $4,000 annually for his ex-
elusive use; but when the allow
ances for other members of the
family are added, the total figures
up to So, 4,28o,ooo year. Italy and
Austria each pay double this
amount for the privilege of having
royal family, and the Kaiser is
nearly as expensive, when all he
costs is taken into account, for he
is allowed $4,000 900 annually for
his personal expenses.
When we take into consideration
the fact that we are better able
from a financial point of view to
maintain an expensive establish
ment than any one of the countries
named, we havn't any just reason
to complain. Royalty is a luxury,
and so long as our Government is
run ON the economical basis of
bare necessities we should be sat
iSfied.

WHITE WIVES RULE CHlNAMfN.
Bright Young Women With Few ScrupIes Have
SuppIaated an trstwhlIe Chicago klns-tiow
The Deed Was Done.

by a dynasty of white women. 1t
is the first time that white women
have ruled Chinese colony and
the conduct of the Cinnamon is at
tracing considerable attention.
Chinatown consists of gambling
houses, a josshouse, restaurants
at which chop suey and birds nests
are the delicacies, tea stores, opium
dens, and fancy goods store rooms.
Back of these places there are in
terminable corridors with magnifi-
Gently furnished suites of rooms
opening from them, and these
rooms are filled with thousands of
dollars worth of hangings, rugs,
and pottery from the Celestial
kingdom.
Cinnamon are constantly coming
into the colony from New York
City and San Francisco, and it is
absolutely necessary that there be
some one in the colony who can
reach the city authorities. Ar
rangements must be made for pro-
tecting the gambling games and
the opium dens from raids, and
when a Chinaman is arrested it is
necessary that a lawyer be secured,
that bail bonds be signed, and that
the Chinaman must not get the
worst of it in his encounter with
law as it is interpreted at the po-
lice courts.
Up to short time ago Sam Moy
was the go-between. He used to
be rich, and was sent for from
Chinese colonies all over the coun-
try and consulted as arbiter in
high-binder and business disputes
among his fellow-countrymen. A
little while ago he, in the pictures
que language of the Police depart
ment, lost his graft" Chinatown
refused to bow down to him. He
was allowed to intercede at the
station, but when it came to carry
ing out his desires in the colony he
was up against a stone wall. He
looked about him for an explana-
ton.
In his own words he found that
there were too many Mclean wo-
man"
The idenity of these women,
who are strong enough to overset
the influence of an old ruler among
the most conservative, tradition
bound people on earth, is natural
ly of interest. Some of them are
married to Cinnamon. For instance
May Lee, whose real name was
May Mennan, and who married
Sam Lee, the tea merchant, at the
first mixed marriage held under
the Chinese rite in Chicago's
Chinatown, is woman of more
than average intelligence and
beauty. She wears fashionable
clothes, talks English correctly,
and is known to every Chinaman
on Clark street. She went down
there first on Summing party,
liked the restaurants, went back,
got acquainted with the Cinnamon,
met Lee, fell IN love with his mon
ey, and since her marriage has had
20 times as much money as She had
before. Lee, whose wealth cuts
much of figure in the colony, has
his own way with his people most
of the time, and Lees wife has her
own way with him. Wise China
men who owe him money, or who
want favors for themselves or their
relatives, go not to the tea mer-
chant, but to his wife. Nine times
out of ten she gets them what they
want.
The way the American women
ingratiate themselves into the good
graces of the Cinnamon and then
turn around and rule them with
hands harder than iron is lesson
