Prof. Bossert's Entertainment.

The entertainment given last evening
at the Presbyterian church by Prof.
Joseph Bossert, under the auspices Of
tho Young Peoples Society of Christian
Bndeavor, was very pleasant event
1t WAS held for the benefit of the church
and for that reason should have been
better attended. As it was, but very
small audience was present.
Monsieur Bossert is evidently an artist
Of considerable ability, as in some OF his
inpersonations he showed talent OF q
very high order. The force OF many fine
passages in ths different characters he
portrayed, was lost. however, owing to
his peculiar foreign accent.
he seemed to appear at his best In
"The Miser," . very difficult piece Of
character portrayal. The balance Of the
repertoire, "kobespierre," "The New
Doctor" "Oration Of Mark Anthony"
from Shakespeare's Julius Ceaser,"
were all brought out with considerable
skill and commanded the admiration OF
the audience. The professor portrayed
all the characters in costume and the
effect was very pleasing.
The concluding piece was the imper-
sonation OF the "Wandsring Jew" and
all the touching pathos OF that mourn
full tradition was faithfully acted by
Prof. Bossert.
The entertainment was greatly en-
joyed by those present, and the regret 10
that more people were not out to enjoy
it and to help worthy cause.

TO BE CONTINUED.

- Chicago Tribune: Few men in mod
ern times have had careers as pictur-
esque as that of DR.. Won MIGUEL. the
former Prussian minister of finance,
whose death is just announced. In the
first place, it is sufficiently remarkable
that the son of poor French family
should rise to the leading place in the
cabinet of the German emperor. But
that is only the beginning. Won Miquel
began life as radical Socialist and
revolutioniSt. He was one of the Baden
rebels ol 1S4S. and was banished by the
government. only to seek refuge IN
France and become practically Il pro-
fcSSiunal cunSpiratOr. That after such
an experience he should become min
lister of finance and the chief agent in
putting into effect the measures direct
ed toward the suppression of German
Socialists. is sufficient proof of his
wonderful ability. In his youth MIGUEL
was q rank atheist. He closed his life
as a member of the Evangelical church.
He was in many ways paradox. For
years he stood next to Bismarck as the
most influential man in Germany and
one of the most powerful in Europe
He fell from the favor of the kaiser on
ly last May, and his death follows close
ly his retirement from public life.

CAPTURED BY BRIGANDs.
American Missionary Held For Ran
som In Bulgaria.


The American Mission Board at Bos-
ton. has received letter. dated Sam
akor, European Turkey. September Z,
giving details of the capture by bri-
gands of Miss Ellen M Stone. The
writer says:
1--WE were greatly panied yesterday
at noon to learn from telegram from
DR.. House that Miss Ellen Stone and
Mrs. Tsilka, the wife of the Albanian
preacher, were captured and carried of
by band Of brigands on September 8,
about p. m, while on their way with
quite company Of friends from Ban
sko to Djumaa.
"Just before sunset two Of our stu
dents from Bansko arrived. They were
captured the party. From their ac-
counts, by the aid Of questions, I got
the following: The whole party-about
Is to 1S-were suddenly stopped in a
narrow valley and as soon as possible
all were compelled to wade a river and
ascend a wooded mountainside, as fast
as threats could make them, for about
an hour. Not all could be seen, but q
were counted at one time. as I under
stand, and it was the opinion that there
must be 40 Of them, dressed like Turks
and talking bad Turkish. They knew
Miss Stone, showing that they were
mainly after her.
"She and Mrs. Tsilka were taken or
further and seen no more. The remain
der were relieved of money, watches
etc, and compelled to stay all night un-
der strict guard. After sunrise the bri-
gands who watched them, went up the
mountains, and the remainder of the
party were free.
Our two students passed through
Djumaa and on across the border tC

THE PISTOL LAw.-There Is some
doubt among dealers in pistols as to
when the new law passed by the last
legislature goes into effect. The law,
however, makes July 1, 1902, as the time
when no more pistols can be sold Of the
usual variety. The act provides that
pistols twenty inches long and weigh
ing three pounds may then be sold to
those who want them. Such weapon
could hardly be concealed in the hip
pocket Of one who bought it.; but the
law goes even further and prohibits the
carrying Of any sort Of firearms, con-
cealed or otherwise. There does not
seem to be any law against the selling
of cartridges which will fit what will be
the old timer after July, 1902, and no
doubt the regulation pistols will be sold
as usual after that date. No law can
prevent the importation Of pistols into
this state from another state any more
than it can prohibit the importation Of
whisky. So that any one wanting a
regulation pistol after next July, can
order It through his dealer and unless
they have pistol constabulary as well
as liquor one, there is nothing to pre-
vent the importation Of weapons.
Lawyers consider the law very fool
ish one and one that cannot be carried
out. The general sentiment against
the carrying of concealed weapons
made many legislators vote for a law
which they knew could not be enforced.

wearing Of tightly fitting garments,
though one other of our Christian wo-
man said to me later: You foreign wo-
men seem to dress so as to expose your
person as much as possible. We Chi
nese women prefer to dress so as to
conceal them" She freely admitted
that those pictures were none Of her
choosing. but that her husband thought
they adorned" the home. Her quiet
sarcasm was rather difficult to bear.
This conversation was evidently report
ed to the husband, for these two pic
lures also disappeared from that
house.
How does all this make us appear in
the eyes of the Chinese? don't Won
der they call us Foreign Devils" I
think it is very appropriate form Of
address. Foreign gentlemen take their
wives and daughters to dinner at the
hotels and private residences in Shang-
hal clad in such a manner as makes
the Chinese servants at first ashamed
to wait upon them.
Sir Robert Hart never wrote a truer
thing than he wrote recently about the
sensitiveness Of the Chinese nature.
They are superior to us in this trait
and we sin against 1t beyond telling.
Some Of the Chinese think very sught-
ingly of us foreigners, and we certainly
deserve no better at their hands,

SOLOMON'S POOLS.
Interesting Discoveries Recently
Made In Jerusalem.

The ancient aqueducts and reser-
voirs Of Jerusalem testify to the abun-
dant provision that was made for run
ming water in the Holy City when 1t
was the metropolis Of the Jewish state.
1t is only within the last few weeks
that they have been brought again in
to the service of the city, which dur
ing intervening centuries, has been de-
pendent upon the scanty accumula-
tions Of rain water. The drouths Of
the present summer led to distress,
which happily, the new governor Of
Jerusalem, Mohammed Pjevad Pasha,
had the will and energy to combat. He
secured the sultan's consent to lay i'm
mediately pipe from Solomon's pools,
nine miles south Of the city.
The pipe draws from the sealed
fountain mentioned in the song Of SOL
omon: MY beloved is like spring,
shut up in a fountain sealed" the deep
down subterranean spring, which,
from the time of Solomon, flowed
through an arched channel to a dis
tributing chamber. The tunnel is roof
ed with stones in the shape of an in
verted V. 1t Is one Of the oldest struct-
ures in existence. It passes through
the valley where the beautiful ancient
gardens of Solomon are mentioned in
Ecclesiastes.
It passes the spot where Elijah Is
said to have rested in his flight from
Jezebel, and crosses the plains Of
Ephriam, where David, in the heat Of
battle with the Philistines, longed for
water from the well of Bethlehem. FL
nally, after passing round the slope Of
Zion, it enters the city through the
mosque Of Omar, which Is in the old
temple area.
This drawing from Solomon's pools
will enable the use Of twelve ancient
fountains in the city. 1t will require
20 kilometers Of piping, ten centimes In
diameter, when finally installed. The
governor has also successfully repair
ed the virgins fount, in the valley Of
Jehosophat, outside the city walls. Its
waters pass to the pool of Sloan to a
tunnel built by HeZekiah, as his work.
