An important chapter in the secret history OF

Prosecutors speech against Dr. Krause impli-
Gated him IN conducting over assumed names

Dr.. Krause himself affected cynical amusement
over the disclosures, and Rufus Isaacs. the apie
barrister in defending him, laid strong stress
upon the fact that there were no civil courts
IN the Transyaal and that the prisoner wouiu

House Ventilation In Bombay.
It was Chin Lip. the barber.

Most OF the new houses in Bombay
have a fine show of windows on the
outside, but no corresponding opening
to allow current of air to pass
through. The mean annual tempera-
ture is 1918 degrees Fahrenheit, and
the mean relative humidity n per cent
The mean annual range of temperature
is 1853 degrees but there are periods
during the rains when the diurnal
range of temperature does not exceed
Q degrees, and, unless there is wind
ventilation is practically stopped, be-
cause the outer air and that in the
buildings are reduced to nearly one
temperature. With the thermometer
at so 10 "a degrees, and the air heav-
lily charged with moisture, the surplus
heat of the human body escapes too
slowly, and much discomfort ensues.
AS it is not possible to dry the air in
an ordinary house, the usual remedy is
to produce a current by means of a
punkah, and although the influence OF
this is very local, 1t has been found
that in the worst Bombay weather
life is made tolerable in its current
The chief drawback of the punkah is
the punkahwalla. He Is dirty, unre-
liable, especially at night. and hh

Gladstone on John Bright.

After dinner. says the Hon. Mrs.
Goodheart in the Nineteenth Century,
Mr.. Gladstone talked of John Bright.
John Bright never was political
economist He took free trade on its
humanitarian side, but never had a
very thorough grasp of its arguments.
Golden was the man of a luminous
mind who supplied the argumentative
support. He set free trade upon its
legs. 1t was a strange combination.
Golden inspired Bright with mix
ture Of reverence and affection.
never saw such pathetic sight as
Bright at Cobden's grace, never. His
whole frame seemed loosened; it was
almost as If he would fall into the
grave. 1t was friendship which did
Bright the greatest possible honor. He
was very true man. And he made
an excellent cabinet minister" (this
was repeated more than once). He
had the power, which half the men
who became cabinet ministers do not
possess, of throwing his mind into the
common stock. He never made trivial
objections Of detail, but reserved his
criticism for points where principle
was involved" In answer to ques-
ton whether he had difficulty in max
ing him join the cabinet, Mr.. Glad
stone said: at took me from II O'Clock
to / one night to persuade him; but
possible-No thought Of self-seeking.

Wun Sock leaned over the hearth
and drew with his bow a melancholy
tune out of an old violin. Again and
again he drew the bow across the in
strument, holding particularly deep
note, bending forward slightly and
looking intently at a spot on the
hearth. The room was dimly lighted
by a tallow dip. Weird enough were
the surroundings-the figures of drag
ons on the walls. Joss perched on
shelf, the giant shadows cast by the
Pickering light-without the accom-
paniment of unearthly music. Twenty
minutes. half an hour, forty minutes,
and then. with an exclamation of Chi
nese disgust, he laid the violin down,
took up a large cork from the shelf,
fitted 1t in hole in the hearth and
blew out the tallow dip, and. after a
few puffs at the resistless pipe. threw
himself on his cot and slept
A few minutes later Chip In opened
the door of the little join and tiptoed
softly in. Lighting the tallow dip and
seeing the violin lying there, he began
where Wun Sock left off, first taking
the cork out of the hole in the hearth.
Chip In drew forth the same monoto-
nous tune, even more dismally than
his predecessor. Twenty minutes, hail
and hour, forty minutes, and then,
with an execration, he repeated Wun
Socks actions, throwing himself on
the cot next to his worthy contempor-
airy, while that gentleman emitted
snort which may have signified gross
displeasure at the confusion aroused
by Chip In, or intense confusion at
some hallucination superinduced by
the pipe.

coherent monosyllables to himself, in

Something About the Work Booker T,
Washington Has Done.

Something About the Work Booker
Washington Has Done.
Booker T. Washington is carrying
out work at Tuskegee of more prac-
teal benefit to the white men of the
South than any other work which has
yet been undertaken along the same
line. He is solving the race problem
by practical plan. The southern peo-
pie admit that they need the negro.
He is there among them because he
serves a purpose, and II he is to be
here he must be made industrious
and self-reliant, and all educational
experts agree that it is precisely these
qualities which are being instilled in
20 young negro men and women at the
Tuskegee institute Its value Is in
,ontestable, and under Mr.. Washing
tons direction it has become the fore
most influence in the South for i'm
proving the negro character by prac-
.ical education. The head of the school
has built up by the force of his own
personality, having secured general
recognition for his work in philan-
thropic and educational circles in this
country and Europe. President Nc
Kinley once visited his school, clasped
his hand, and stood at his elbow. He
was for days the guest of the Atlanta
fair in the capital of Georgia, where
he delivered an address which made
him famous the world over. He has
received a degree from Harvard uni
versity, which is not lavish Of such
honors. He is an earnest, honorable,
upright man of rare attachments and
exceptional ability, in every manly at
tribute the superior of hundreds of
men in public life. Mr.. Roosevelt is
President not of a party, or section,
or of any race or sect, but Of all the
people of the nation, Of every color
and condition. We assume that the
President did not entertain Booker
Washington to recognize him as his
social equal, but merely as the chief
executive to pay tribute to genius.

| the tenacious bow, playing, however,
with somewhat more feeling than the
others. The light from the street
lamps shone dimly through the little
square panes of glass to the hole in
the hearth. Sip watched closely with
only the aid of this. The violin con-
tinued to wall and moan. Then from
the hole emerged an object. moving al
most indscernibly, first its head. then
neck, and finally writing its whole
form out upon the hearth standing
erect and almost touching Sip Gin with
its nose-a cobra of immense size. Sip
continued to draw the bow as imper-
ceptibly as possible. Suddenly, with
movement as quick as the flash of
sabre, he dropped both bow and violin
and grabbed the reptile just behind the
head. With Shrek he awoke Wun
Sock and Chip In, while the struggles
of the Infatuated monster, together
with Sips already too unsteady head.
nearly carried that gentleman off his
balance. A light being produced, he
regained his equilibrium. while his
compartiots uttered EXPLANATIONS OF
intense qualification at the victorious
although somewhat inebriated Sip.
In his rage the serpent's head was
hattened out. resembling hood, on
the back of which were the spectacle
like marks, and the brownish-Olive
form wriggled in a desperate effort to
escape. Quickly it was thrust into
box, and while it was venting its rage
on the interior Sip pulled himself to-
gether and adjusted his disheveled raj
ment. The rest OF, the night they sat
up to discuss a conspiracy.
Wun Sock conducted a ,prRsperous
laundry near the barracks, his; sbusi--
ness having increaseds with the influx
of the Americans. Sip Gin was an
all-around sport, who spent most of his
time and money in the gambling joint
which is at present the scene of this
narrative, and Of which Chip In was
said to be the sole proprietor Wun
Sock had by artful competition forced
Hop Hi, rival laundry man, to the
wall for. which piece of mercantile
courtesy he incurred that Celestial's
unmitigated enmity. Hop having mi
grated to Bombay, returned the. COM
pliment in the formAof this cobra, neat
ly ensconced in box, which Wun
Sock, in delight and ignorance Of its,
contents, took around to Chip Ins to
open before that heathen's usually ad-
miring eyes. Upon forcing the lid the
serpent made pass at him, and but
for the tool with which he opened the
box. and which he still held in his
hand, the result would surely have
been fatal to Wun Sock. In the ex-
element, during which they all re-
treated, the cobra made good his es-
cape, taking refuge in the hole In the
hearth, which they promptly stopped
up with cork.
Knowing the power of music to
charm these reptiles, a violin was pro-
cured, and for six nights they met at
the joint and vainly extended an in
vitation to the cobra to emerge from
the hearth and be again immured
within the walls of his box. 1t re-
manned, however, for Sip Gin. inspired
to sentiments of tenderness by the in
fluence of soothing liquid, to draw
the bow with sufficient witchery to
charm the otherwise indomitable crea-
ture and coax him from his lair. Once
out, it was one-shot victory, shoot
or-be-shot chance. and Sip had drunk

fast enough to give him n rockies,
abandon and steady nerve to complies
the feat. with glory.
With such potent agency Of death
in their possession and means where
by to deal an everlasting blow to the
enemy, of which Chinese is never
entirely without, these Celestials i'm
mediately bethought how to use this
deputy Of the devil to the best advan-
tage. Each recited his list of those
whom he world be pleased to annihi-
late, but 1t was difficult to select the
most eligible.
Lam Chop, the restaurateur, Just
then happened in and was let into the
secret. He smiled to himself. Wun
Sock with five enemies, Chip In with
seven. Sip Gin with three. while he.
lam Chop had only one-an enemy
who had spoken evil of him to all his
race-Chin Lip, the barber. But be
not vindictive," said Lam Chop. as he
rubbed his sleeve across his face to
hide a smile. Let your enemies live
and list to the chance Of lifetime.
The government Of Uncle Sam will
give $4,000 for Aguinaldo, dead or
alive" Lam Chop knew his hiding
place and his disguise. Think Of
5000 of Uncle Sans big dollars, that
buy ten times as much as our brass
money! Back to China we can go and
live like Ii Hung Chang"
Great was the Idea, but how was 1t
to be executed? Lam Chop would tell
them. On the night of the full moon
Wun Sock was to carry his venomous
burden, boxed neatly, with the lid
merely latched. to a deserted hut on
the outskirts of Manila. There Aguin-
aldo took refuge after nightfall and
slipped out early every morning dis
guised as a coolie He would see the
box and naturally open it; death
would result and the reward be sure
to follow.
Wun Sock on the day appointed has
tened to do the bidding of Lam Chop.
At sunset he went to the house, de-
posted the box in conspicuous place
and decamped Next morning three
Cinnamon could be seen walking along
the road leading to the outskirts. Lam
Chop did not appear at the hour ap-
pointed to bring the body of Aguin-
aldo to the government of Uncle Sam;
so, after waiting half an hour. the
three decided to go without him. AS
they approached the hut their counte-
nances beamed with anticipation. Wun
Sock pushed open the door slowly and
peeped in. There Aggy lay stretched
out on the floor. The box open and
empty. Sip Gin then took peep. and
lastly Chip In. Making sure the cobra
had escaped. they filed in and turned
the body over, when all fell back
aghast. 1t was Chin Lip, the barber!
After their CONSERVATION subsidized
they rified his pockets and filed out.
A nice trick Lam Chop had played
on them. He, who had said BE not
vindictive and let your enemies live,'
had used their weapon for his own
ends. 1t CALLED their Chinese souls.
However, they would make Lam Chop
pay for his little trick. They looked
for him, but he was not to be found.
He had vanished. The accumulated
wealth of Wun Sock. Chip In and Sip
Gin had been detached from its hiding
places and had gone along, too. He
had sold his restaurant the day pre-
vious to a mutual friend. who reported
that Lam Chop laughed SO loud and
so long that it was only by chance that

An Incident In the Life of Professor
Booker T. Washington.

Booker T. Washington.
On one occasion when I was making
a trip from Augusta, Ca, to Atlanta.
being rather tired from much travel,
[ rode in Pullman sleeper. When /
went into the car found there two
ladies from Boston whom I knew well.
These good ladies were perfectly ig-
norant, 1t seems, Of the customs Of the
South, and in the goodness of their
hearts insisted that take seat with
them in their section. After some hes
itation l consented. l hau been there
but few minutes when one of them,
without my knowledge, ordered sup
per to be served to the three of us.
This embarrassed me still further. The
car was full of southern white men,
most of whom had their eyes on our
party. When found that supper had
been ordered. l tried to contrive some
excuse that would permit me to leave
the section, but the ladies insisted that
must eat with them. finally settled
back in my seat with sigh, and said

To add further to the embarrassment
Of the situation, soon after the supper
was placed on the table one Of the
ladies remembered that she had in. her
satchel special kind Of tea which she
wished served, and as she said she felt
quite sure the porter did not know how
to brew it properly she insisted upon
getting up and preparing and serving
1t herself. At last the meal was over
and it seemed the longest one that !
had ever eaten. When we were through
got myself out Of the embarrassing
situation and went into the smoking
room, where most of the men were by
that time. In the meantime, however,
1t had become known throughout the
car who l was, and / was never more
surprised in my life than when each
man-nearly every one of them citi-
zen of Georgia-came up and intro
duced himself to me, and thanked me
earnestly for the work that l was try
ing to do for the whole South. This
was not 1attery, because each enc OF
