POLICEMEN SHOT BY THUGS
One Dies on way 20 hospital ana che
other on Operating
Table.

CHICAGO. Aug 12.-Ofacers Timothy De-
vine and Charles 7. Penneli, patrolmen OF
the Chicago police department. were killed
here today In a revolver battle with what
Is supposed to have been gang Of thugs.
Much mystery surrounds the shooting be-
cause both men died before an adequate
account OF the shooting could be obtained,
Devine in the ambulance on the way to the
hospital and Pennell on the operating table
while surgeons we're probing for bullets.
The fght occurred Just before dawn near
Jackson boulevard and Ashland avenue In
the aristocratic section Of the west side.
The fusilade Of shots aroused the entire
neighborhood.
Citizens who heard the dying policemen
groan rushed to their assistance and saw
men running away. onhcer Pennell mean
while had heroically staesered hundred
feet to a patrol box and In an alarm
for assistance.
At once the police set drag-net for all
suspicious characters and soon had six men
in custody. Before Penneii aied he was able
to gasp out a few words about robbers, .
giving descriptiins Of two men.
Late tonight the police feceived clue to
the murderers Of ofncers Devine and PEN
nell. 1t was slight, but they are now look
ing for man who was slightly wounded
in the head by bullet Georae Pulford a
druggist at the corner of Ada and Ran
dolph streets. a few squares from the scene
OF the shooting. says he was awakened
about two hours after the shooting by two
men. one OF whom was bleeding from q
wound behind the left ear The man said
he had fallen against a fence. but Pulford
says there is no doubt that the wound was
caused by a glancing bullet The belief
that Devine wounded one Of the men be-
fore he was shot down is strengthened by
the statement Of a bartender who was
standing at the corner Of Ogden avenue and
Randolph street when two men passed him
running. One Of them waG tagging behind
and was holding his hand to his head. His
companion was urging him 20 run and tell
ing him It would never do 10 give up. The
description of the two men given by the
bartender agrees In all particulars with
that given by the people who saw the two
men run away from the scene Of the shoot
ing.

supposed to beft her rank, Mrs. Wu's
feet are about the size of year old
baby's, and are clad in the marvellous
little shoes that are seldom seen in
this part of the world, except in mu-
scum cases. She dresses very hand
somely, being rich in her own right
and having brought to her husband a
generous dowry. Her wonderful clothes
are made in the legation by Chinese
tailor, who is a member of the minis
ter's suite, and are all of magnificent
silk and satin, the very richest that
money can buy, and gorgeously en-
broidered. But alas! there can never
be any change of fashion for Chin
csc lady of the upper crust" Her
gowns must all be cut from the same
model that her ancestors used, with
scant skirt, tunic and jacket, in &C
cordance with royal decree. Her
heavy, shining, well-greased black hair
is always dressed according to the
Canton mode; and her ordinary head
dress, in doors and out, consists of a
band of black velvet adorned with a
handsome jewel.
On ceremonious occasions the hair
is built up into a regular Chinese pa
CODA, with jewels galore all over it,
and pineapple shaped lunches of arti-
fetal flowers behind each ear. She
has been an Industrious student of
English and understands it pretty
well, though she rarely attempts to
converse in any language but her own,
depending upon her husband to trans
late. AS Mrs. Wu's little feet pre-
clude her from walking, her daily ex-
ercise is taken IN an invalid's chair,
| pushed by Chinses servant, or in the
gorgeous automobile, propelled by the
minister himself, who has become an
adept Chauffeur. When Mr.. WI and
his wife go spinning along the street
/ In their striking turnout, every head
is turned, you may be sure.
Sometimes cameras are leveled at
/ them, much to the minister's disgust.
He does not object to sit for his pic
ture in a proper way, but is very
averse to being caught" off his guard
by an amateur. The personnel of
the Chinese embassy is larger than
that of any other, not even excepting
| Great Britain, and numbers more
than fifty persons, including, besides
secretaries and attaches, doctor, tail
or. shoemaker, BARRIERS, Wallets and
cooks
Mrs. WI has the direction of this
large menage, and is a model mis-
tress, exercising an authority and fol
lowing a system that not only keeps
the domestic wheels going smoothly
but maintains harmony among the
staff.

|IET AT CAPITAL
IN SUMMER MONTHS.

Nobody has ever left the diplomatic
rcle who will be So greatly missed as
the wife Il Mr.. WI Ting-rang. Many
oriental women have resided here for
a time and are pleasantly remem-
bered; but none made such an inn
preston on society and so many gen
uine friends as has tiny Mrs. WI.
Since her husband was accredited
here in 1897 she has been a central
figure in official life. Very small of
stature, with the fiat nose. broad
cheeks and thin lips of the Monaghan,
she is not handsome, according to
Western standards, though doubtless
in the East she is considered beauty
| OF the first water. She has soft brown
| eyes that would grace any face, an
expression of dignity and decision of
character, and a charming smile, in
which the loving kindness of her heart
is plainly rejected. She comes from
one of the most ancient and honorable
families in the Flowery Kingdom, and
has the further distinction of pure
Chinese blood. Her high rank and
origin is indicated in her costume, the
gorgeous eagle embroidered on her
breast being one of it's most important
features, it indicates that she is OF
equal rank with her husband, privl-
legged to enter and leave a room at his
side, instead of being compelled to
meekly urot behind him, as would be
the case were she of lower caste. The
beads around her neck have also spe-
cial significance, and are worn by
both men and women in the celestial
land to show their station. These
necklaces vary with the seasons, jade
and coral being adopted for winter
and sandal wood for summer. AS is

fed that Doan's Kidney Pills have
cured them of numerous kidney ills,
from common backache to dangerous

ances and sufferings from urinary dis
orders. They have been cured TO

Samuel j. Taylor, retired carpenter,
residing at 312 South Third St.,
Goshen, Ind, says: "On the 25th day
of August, 1897, l made an affidavit
before Jacob c. Mann, notary public,
stating my experience with Doans
Kidney Pills. mad suffered for
thirty years, and was compelled at
times to walk by the aid of crutches,
frequently passed gravel and suffered
excruciatingly. | took every medt-
cine on the market that l heard about
and some gave me temporary RELIEF.
l began taking Doan's Kidney Pills
and the results | gave to the public
in the statement above referred to. At
this time, on the 10th day o. July,
1902, l make this further statement
that during the five years which have
elapsed l have had no occasion to use
either Doans Kidney Pills or any
other medicine for my kidneys. The
cure effected was a permanent one.
