bore himself so bravely that his Captain,

him for his bravery and good service.
Hearing of this, looked him up after
the fight was over, and congratulated him
on his well-doing in battle.

THE CHINESE LANGUAGE.
It is Geographic, and Conveys the Idea and
Eot the Word.

while China is considered the land
Of promise for tssr.manufacturers and far
| mers," says aCbnsular Agent Charles
| Neuer at Gera, fin recent report to the
Department of State, ..the Importance of
| the knowledge ofnthe Chinese language is
greatly undervalu&d.. i submit the details
of recent intrNiew with linguist who
has given SPECIAL attention to this sub
ject. ,oI II.
1T is well understood that in order to
enter into PERMANENT commercial relations
with a foreignI cuifntry it is Indispensable
to know its language. When Russian in
dustries began ,ut0l develop the Germans
recognized thatfinlOrder to engage in prof
liable trade inI that country it was nee
essary to learn. h russian, and there is now
no country whgei the Russian language
is SO much tauSAt as in Germany.
The Chinese, language rs topographic.
1t cOnyeys the. idea and not the word for
a thing. as thpi figure So represents the
idea. and not the word. The Chinese have
invented more than 10000 marks for their
writing. In the opinion of my informant,
it will require only about 1900 marks for
mercantile correspondence, and it will be
easier to learn than the words of an or
diDary foreign language.
Russian is more difficult for Americans
than Chinese. Anyone can learn enough of
the writing to answer ordinary purposes
in few months, and have his knowledge
perfected by a linguist within about
year. 1t takes much longer to learn the
spoken language, because of the variety
of dialects. An exact instruction in
one Of the Chinese languages can only be
given by Chinaman.
This method has been adopted in Ger
many. Besides the professor for the the
ory Of language, there dre four Chinese
linguists in the Oriental Seminary Of Ber

ton. 1t is not intended to fit pupils for
the diplomatic service, but for CONNER

Portable School-Houses.

Portable school-houses is the latest idea
for the solution of the problem of over
crowding in the schools. The idea Of
portable school-buildings first came from
Paris. Then the idea reached the United
States, about five years ago, and Mil
waukee was first to adopt it. In st. Louis,
which next adopted the portable school
house, the plan was great success. Sew
eral large Eastern cities have within the
last year or so commenced on a small
scale to have portable school-houses as a
part of the educational facilities. In St.
Louis there has been great influx of peo-
pie on account of the worlds fair. WheR
the city schools opened few weeks ago
the increase was enormous, but the schools
were well able to care for them. The por-
table schoolbuilding, however, Is all that
saves them, and when in any neighborhood
there is likelihood of an over-crOwding,
a portable school-building is at once moved
in. At present there are 81 school-houses
of this kind in the worlds fair city, and
all of them are in use.

Captain Killed and Members of

Victoria, B. c.. Dec. 25-The
steamer Moana from Australia to-
day brought news of an attack of the
recruiting schooner Lily by the natives
of Mallicolo, in the New Hebrides.
They murdered Capt. Henry A. Atkin-

the Lilys crew.
The schooner was engaged in taking
home natives who had been employed
in New Caledonia by French planters.
One of those consigned to Mallicolo
died when near there, and Capt. Akin
son decided to bury the body ashore,
instead of at sea.
When Capt. Atkinson landed he was
rushed upon and his rifle taken by the
blacks. He was then shot and killed

dead, the natives believing it necessary
to kill the whites to prevent further
deaths from occurring among them.
The schooner Pearl was attacked on
this island few days later. She called

island, to land natives, when she was
fired upon and several of the native

BY A KANSAS MOB
A NEGRO Is STRUNG UP WITHOUT
LEGAL OBsERVANCES
PAID A SWIFT PENALTY
FOR THE MURDER OF A POLICE
MAN AT PITTsBURG.

Policeman HinI<le Was Trying to
Protect Himself from a Gang OF
DisOrderIy Negroes, when Mont
gOmery Godfrey, n Negro. Slipped
Behind Him, Seized His Pistol and
Killed Him-The Jail Doors Bat
tered Down-Godfrey Was Seized,
His Throat Was Cut and He Was
Hung.
Pittsburg, Kan, Dec. 25.-Montgom-
cry Cooley, a negro, was taken from
the Jail here to-day and lynched by a
mob because early this morning he
had shot and killed Milton Hinkle, a
policeman. while the officer was try
ing to protect himself against crowd
of unruly negroes.
At the first effort to lynch the negro
the rope broke. Some of the crowd cut
the negro's throat. severing the jugular
vein. After this he was hanged sec
ond time.
The shooting of Policeman Hinkle
occurred at a dance, which was at
tended by large number of negro men
and women from neighboring mining
camps. Montgomery Cooley and his
brother were drinking, and had be-
come very disorderly, when Policeman
Hinkle interfered. The negroes became
insulting. and when Hinkle drew his
club to defend himself, Montgomery
Cooley slipped behind the policeman,
grabbed the officers pistol and shot
Hinkle behind the ear. The wounded
policeman was carried to the City Hall,
where he died several hours later.
The news of the shooting spread rap
idly, and mob gathered in front of
the Jail. The doors were battered in,
and the mob seized Montgomery God
ley, who, with his brother, had been
arrested soon after the shooting. They
took the slayer to the telephone pole,
three blocks away, and there hanged
him.
At first the negro was defiant. but
just before he was hanged he begged
hard for his life.
