"Tbe Chinese physician" says Modern
Medicine, receives a salary from his
patients as long as they are well, but as
soon as they get Ill his pay stops. Some
American families, NOT disdaining to
learn something from the other side of
the world, have partially adopted the
same plan; that is, they pay the salary
whether they are sick or well; and IL is,
of course, to the interest of the doctor to
keep them we'll as far as he can, to save
himself the trouble of attending them.
When the Chinese method, or the Ameri-
can modification of ii, comes into general
practise, it will be to the interest Of the
mentally, spiritually; to prescribe for

and healthful habits, and to labor with
the view of inducing them to keep in

AMERICAN LOCOMOTIVES.
They score Grent victory Over En-
Elish Competitors in Tests
Made in JamRica.

Kingston, Jamaica, Aug. 21.-Anoth-
er heavy test of the respective merits
of English and American locomotives
on the railroad here has resulted in
a great victory for the latter; which
drew a big load over the heaviest part
of the line in seven minutes under the
scheduled time. The English loeomo-
tive completely failed to pull the
same load. and when materially light
ened, failed to make even regular
time. English experts and the local
railroad officials were present at the
test, which was great disappoint-
ment TO the former.
Having in mind the relative cost of
the locomotives, the government here
is expected to make strong representa-
tions to the crown agents in London
who arranged the purchases.

THE EARTH'S SAVAGE TRIBES.
Proposal to Gather Families From
All the Worlds savage Tribes

st. Louis, Aug 21.-Frederick w
Lehman, chairman of the committee
on ethnOlogy and anthropology of
the Louisiana Purchase Exposition
Co. has returned to st. Louis from
Washington, ID. c., where he had been
working with department officials in
the interest of the Worlds fair. His
principal labors were with the bureau
of ethnology and the officials of the
Smithsonian institution and national
museum.
The idea of Mr.. Lehman is to have
the chronological display at the fair a
living one. He proposes to gather to-
gether families from the savage
tribes of the earth and show them in
St. Louis. with their games, religious
ceremonies and customs. This will
be an absolutely novel feature, and
one of the most attractive and valua-
bic, from a standpoint of education,

TRICED UP AND BURNED.
Awful Fate of All wilder. Charged
With the Murder of Mrs.
Caldwell.

Dallas, Tex, Aug. 21.-A dispatch
received here last night from Whites
boro, Tex, says the negro ALI Wilder,
charged with the murder of Mrs. Cald-
well, the wife of a Grayson county
farmer, at he. home on Saturday last,
was captured by mob and burned at
Nelson's ranch, two and one-half
miles east of Red Ranch
The burning occuryed early last
night. The mob was composed of 300
men.
The negro was taken to tree and
swung up in the air. Wood and fod-
hot fire made. Then it was sug-
gested that the man ought not to die
too quickly, and he was let down to
the ground while party went to
Dexter, about two miles distant to
procure coal oil. This was thrown on
the flames and the work completed.
Wilder was captured near Dexter
yesterday afternoon. He had been
seen the day before by negro who
knew him and who had informed the
citizens of the fact. A posse was at
once organized and the work of beat
ing the Red River bottoms begun.
1t is said it was the intention of
the mob to take Wilder back to the
scene of his crime and there lynch
him, but messages by telegraph and
telephone gave warning that the au-
thorities were hastily repairing to the
scene with a considerable force, and
the work of execution was expedited.
At Whitesboro a great crowd had
gathered in anticipation of a chance
to participate in the lynching, and
when it was learned the work had
been done they expressed great dis
appointment.
