A CHASTITY SPECTACLE.
A Story of Executions that Took Place
in Picking.

in Picking.
"Chi Shiu was in the first cart. AS
he came up to the ground he peered
through the little window in front at
the crowd, which now amounted to
many thousands. Some one passed a
letter into the cart, doubtless a last
word from some friend or relative. He
read it and again looked round on the
crowd. He was an elderly man of in
telligent and by no means repulsive ex-
preston. He was assisted out of the
cart, and supported by the executioner's
men on each side as he walked the
short distance of twenty yards which
lay between the cart and the eXecu-
toner. He looked now neither to the
right nor left, and appeared passlvely
resigned to whatever was in store for
him. He knelt on the mat. His neck
and shoulders were hurriedly stripped
of clothing, piece of thin string was
bound round his head so that the head
might he dragged away when it fell.
His head was pressed down, the chin
almost touching the ground, his shol-
ders were forced down. and queue pull
ed aside leaving the back of the neck
wholly exposed. The executioner first
aimed a trial blow, without touching
the neck. Then with a sharp decisive
blow the head was severed and the
shoulders sank on the ground The
WHOle operation WAS over III TWO OF
three minutes. The head and body
were left on the ground till the second
culprit was disposed of.
"Hsu Cheng-yi was unable to walk,
and was carried lettering to his mat.
His eyes were closed. Apparently he
had been freely dosed with opium. He
was dealt with even more quickly than
the other. A single inarticulate ejacu-
lation was heard from the crowd as the
| head fell each time. There was no
shout or other sign of feeling except
that of curiosity. The bodies were put
in the collins and taken away, the
crowd dispersed, and five minutes af-
forwards the coffee shops the grocery
stores and the ladies' cosmetic esta-
blishment, in front of which the scene
was laid, were carrying on business as
If nothing had happened, save that the
Chinese avoided walking over two great
red patches of blood in the road until
shopkeeper sprinkled dust over the

DIFFERENCES ADJUSTED.

Concludes Controversy.

Association OF Filters and Helpers
Concludes Controversy.
The morning session of the convention OF
the International Association of Steam and
Hot Water Filters and Helpers at Typogra-
phical Temple today resulted In the settling
Of the differences between that organic d.
ton and the sprinkler filters. so far the
former organization is concerned. There
has for some time been a question over
the Jurisdiction of work between the two
crafts, and the action of the steam filters
today makes it possible for sprinkler fit
ters to join the steam filters union. thus
is the belief of the officers Of the conven-
tion that the sprinkler filters will be will
ing to make this consolidation.
A report was received from the finance
committee in which it was stated that the
books of the organization were in good
shape
c. F. King Of Baltimore addressed the
convention regarding the strike of steam
filters in that city. He stated that when
the strike. which Is for a nine-hour day,
was first begun, 125 men were affected, but
that the demands of the men had been
acceded to except by the Sparrow Point
ship yards, where twenty-five men had
struck. All the employees are now at work
A committee was appointed to go to Balti-
more Friday night for the purpose Of en-
couraging the men, Financial aid was also
granted the strikers.
The application for a charter made by
the steam filters of Colorado Springs was
acted on favorably. The first afternoon ses-
sion of the convention will be held today.

told Miss Ashby that II only the children
could be in school they would prefer them
to be there rather than In the mill. This
question assumes a still more serious as
pect in view of the color problem of the
south The negro children are taking fun
advantage CT the educational facilities Of
fered by the state, so that 1t seems as II in
the great industry which Is the growing
point of Alabama's prosperity there will be
a generation of illiterate whites surround
ed by educated negroes. The only possible
way to secure the absolutely essential lead
ership of the black by the white race Is
to guarantee the education of the whites
In Alabama there are state appropria-
tions which would give every child between
three and four months schooling. Only
half Of the children between the school
ages, however, attend.
The fight. Miss Ashby believes. must be
consolidated in the south. and arrange
fore each legislature. thus equalizing the
law throughout the southern trade. Means
should be taken. she says. to prevent the
introduction of bills drawn up by frrespon-
Sfble, ignorant designing persons, which
might retard the movement for years, as 1t
did in Massachusetts and other states.
A central committee is being formed in
Montgomery, composed of four practical
business men, with Rev. E. G. Murphy as
chairman. Subcommittees will be formed
from every set of people willing to help.
The trades councils Of Montgomery. Mo-
bile and Birmingham have already ex-
pressed their Willingness to work with this
committee. So have the women's clubs and
the Women's Christian Temperance Union.
In each large city local committees. in
connection with the central, will be formed
of leading men to continue the agitation,
and an early opportunity will be taken to
issue manifesto on the subject and to
get in touch with the agitation in the other
states. 1t is thought most likely that an
organizer will be appointed by the central
committee. Efforts will be made to en-
gage the attention and cooperation of the
women's clubs and other organizations
throughout America. as the question is not
one confined alone to the southern states

Recording of Condemnation Request
ed by Property Owners.
Thomas ]. Fisher & Co. have written to
the District Commissioners in regard to
the extension Of Columbia road east Of 18th
street through portions of lots 3. and 8.
in block %. Columbia Heights. The letter
states that the property is owned by par
ties represented by the writer's. and hav-
ing been condemned for the purpose stated,
they ask that proper steps be taken to
have the condemnation made a matter of
record at the earliest possible day in order
that proper bills for the payment Of taxes
may be procured. Z.
I'VE have made application for these
bills the letter continues, "at the tax Of
flee, but have been refused same because
no record was on their books showing the
status Of the matter. We hereby enter our
protest against any penalties being charged
thank you to give this matter your imme-
dtate attention, as we have the money to
pay the taxes at once. but are not per-
mitted to do so by the tax Office on ac-
count of the facts stated

ed to the Commissioners that the surveyor
has prepared a map relating to this extern
sion. and it will be possible for the assessor
to give correct bills II it is considered nee
essary to- make corrections in accordance
with the map furnished.
"It may be well to state, however" con-
tfnues Mr. Richards. that the land in
question was condemned less than a year
ago, and that on account Of objections
raised by Mr. Kellogg confirmation and
payment were delayed until Of recent date.
Final payment was made April 3. 1901, and
this may raise some question as to the
amount Of taxes due on this property
The papers have been forwarded to Com
missioner Ross and will probably be sent
by him to the District assessor, Mr.. Dar-

Predicts an AnglO-American Alliance
Against All Europe.
Mark my words" said Mr.. Andrew
Carnegie in an interview in London last
night, ''the time is coming when the conti-
mental powers will combine to smash up
this little island OF Great Britain. When
that happens she will have to turn to the
United States for help.
II feel certain 1t will not be refused.
The United States will step in and say
Don't They will act just as Great Brit
ain did in the Spanish American war.
What she did then was great, and 1t Is not
half realized yet.
II believe In the community Of the Eng
disappearing races. BY which 1 mean that
the Americans and the British are now
closer than ever before. Could you get a
better instance than the visit Of the dele
gates OF the New York chamber Of COM
merce to Windsor last Saturday? I sug-
gested it. and King Edward took up the
idea thoroughly. 1t was a fitting COM
mencement Of the new reign

known this since the time. years ago,

DO you think" Mr. Carnegie was asked,
that British enterprise can be sufficiently
stimulated TO meet American compet1tlon!
"Oh, they can't compete with u.s. re-
piled Mr.. Carnegie with a smile.
When questioned regarding his recent
gift to the universities of Scotland he said:
"Everyt thing will be settled shortly in a
way satisfactory to both sides. The high
Scotch officials and myself are still having
conferences to arrange matters"
When asked If he contemplated further
gifts, he replied in the negative, adding:
II have quite enough on my hands for the
present. When this matter has been set
tied there will be time enough to think
Of something else"

KISSING DAY AT HuNGERFoRD.

Once n Year Its TithfnG Men Take Toll
of Every Woman.
From the London Leader
1t was kissing day yesterday at Hunger
ford-a survival of medieval days which
the old town clings to with an affection not
born entirely of reverence for the antique.
Every "Hockney Tuesday" or first Tues
day after Easter. the elected representa-
tives of the town assemble in solemn con-
clave to transact the business placed In
their hands under an ancient charter grant
ed by "old John of Gaunt, time-honored
Lancaster" This Is the serious side of the
anniversary.
The proceedings of the "Hocktide Court"
were Opend by the town clerk, who rectted
the lengthy rules and regulations governing
the court. after which he read the roll OF
commoners of the town. who must be in at
tendance at the court or In default pay the
sum of 1 penny each into the borough
funds.
Meanwhile. resplendent in livery of
gray and red, the town crier had summoned
the commoners from the steps of the build
ing by ringing bell. Most of them pre-
ferred to stay outside and see the fun and
their fines made a goodly show of copper
coins.
But 1t was out In the town that the most
interesting part of the celebrations was car :
ried on while the court was being held-the
two ''tithng men," a kind of special con-
stables under the charter. performed the
most important duty of their year Of Of
flee.
Marching through the streets, bearing
their wands of office decked with flowers in
their hands, they made a call at every
house within the Jurisdiction of the court
and collected their right and proper dues
A kiss from each of the women and
penny from each of the men was the toll
they were entitled to levy. and they Yener-
ally got 1.-THE second every time.
At their heels followed crowds Of school
children who were granted a half holiday
in honor of the occasion Each clink of
coin brought a cheer from the pack of
eager, laughing followers outside, who well
knew its destination. All the pennies go to-
ward the scoof oranges, which are handed
out to the children at intervals during the
triumphal progress.
Every now and then. too. their sharp ears
caught through open door or window some
thing of scuffle, giggle. or even some
times hearty, resounding smack, and they
snggered. though with far less personal
interest. at these telltale indications Of the
exaction of the other part Of the tribute
After 1t was all over councillors and kiss
ers joined forces at the Three Swans Hotel
where they sat down to a real sumptuous
repast after their labors, winding up with
bowls OF the genuine John of Gaunt"

tency. Then he evolved the idea of his
marvellous clock, and ne worked on it early
and late till it became almost part of his
life.
1t Is a giant among clocks, standing eigh-
teen feet high and measuring fifteen feet
around the base On it's front face 1t has
four dials-one the ordinary twelve-hour
plate. one Of twenty-four hours, another
with three hands showing the day of the
year, the month and the week. and the
fourth presenting wonderfully accurate
movement of the earth and other planets
about the sun. which Is represented by a
red electric globe. The moon is also shown
in its correct evolutions. and the sphere
representing the earth swings on it's own
axis every twenty-four hours, passing
through the solstices and eQuinoxes with
astronomical accuracy.
Thirty automaton figures representing
American Presidents from Washington to
Mckinley, and Uncle Sam. Columbus,
Dewey. Franklin, an Indian and America,
pass an opening at the top OF the clock
with intervals Of two minutes between
each.

Another Viking Ship Found.


Another viking ship. rather boat has
been unearthed near Kiel, but this new dis
covery cannot compare in dimensions with
the finest specimen of it's kind. which may
be seen by tourists at the museum in
Christiania. In fact, this clinker built vik-
ing vessel. which is about the size of one
of our modern fishing boats, is perhaps the
most interesting thing to be seen in all
Norway. Those who see 1t will realize for
the first time why "starboard." or steer
board" is applied to the right side Of ves-
sci. as the helm protruded from this side,
and not from the stern, which is practically
the same as the bow. There is a popular
impression that viking is etymologically
synonymous with sea king'-but this is
''Vik-ing," or bay man"-"vik" meaning
sea inlet, or bay" Its counterpart Is
found in such English place names as War;
wick, Wick in the Orkneys, and elsewhere.
