How Oriental People wash.

European tourists i'm the east" said
a traveller. have before now remarked
on the various degrees Of dirtiness
manifested by the oriental races. But
their drtiness is not only to be differen-
tiated ia degree. but also in kind. Your
only partially civilized man is clean in
spots. Civilization might be measured
by the size and number OF the spots un-
til. in the perfect civilization. | sup
pose, ii will be all clean spot. But diff
ferent races put the spots in different
places: 50. observing this. there has
grown up saying among the Euro
peans in the east that the Chinese wash
their clothes. but not themselves; the
Japanese wash themselves. but not
their clothes, and the Koreans wash
neither. Were there nothing else to
judge by. it might be pretty question
whether the Chinese or the japanese
are the more civilized"

terry continues to surround the case OF the
DISAPPEARANCE Of Mrs. T. F. Burns, presi-
dent Of the Sioux City Beethoven club.
The police dragged the river all day long
today but without results. Dynamite will
be used tomorrow. II is not definitely de-
cided that Mrs. Burns vas drowned and
many theories are advanced in explanation
One is hat she stopped on the further
bank to gather autumn leaves and was
waylaid by tramps. Another still is that
she was kidnapped. A third theory is that
she wandered away In a state of dementia,
though this is given little credence. Her
husband is Frustrated by the uncertainty
surrounding the case. He imagines he sees
the body OF his wife. lying cold and white
in death on the bottom of the river. There
is nj reason to believe the case is a sui
eide. Mrs. Burns was always lively and
cheerful and did not seem to have any

q WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-(Special. sid
ney L. Wilson is dead, and another name
has been stricken from the pension rolls
and from the list of federal officials. It
Is nearly eighteen years now since Wilson
came to Washington to assume his duties
as United States pension agent in charge
Of the Washington district. He was a poor
man hen-so poor, indeed, that he had
been compelled to sacrifice his small house
and lot In western New York.
In the summer of 1884 he lived in West
field, Chautauqua county. He had a small
home with a heavy mortgage upon 1t and
he wanted to be postmaster. The salary
Of the ofice was at that time 81, 200 a
year. The gentleman then representing the
C~hautauqua district in congress declined
to recommend Wilson's appointment, and
President Arthur felt constrained to refuse
him the place. Shortly after the appoint
ment of another candidate had been made,
Joseph w. Kay Of Brooklyn, representing
the Veterans Rights union, travelled to
the western end OF the state and began
an active campaign against the renomina-
ton Of DR.. Brewer because he had refused
to recommend Wilson's appointment.
Brewer was defeated and Walter Sessions
was sent to congress in his place.
Immediately after election Mr.. Sessions
came to Washington to find a position for
Mr.. Wilson. President Arthur mentioned
the Washington pension agency as a suita>
BILE place and in January following Will
sons name was sent to the senate and
confirmed. He was reappointed at the end
of four years by Mr.. Cleveland. Four years
later President Harrison again sent his
name to the senate. But when his third
term expired in 1898 Mr.. Cleveland al
lowed him to continue on, knowing that
Mr.. Mckinley would be certain to con,
tinue him in office. He began his fifth tern
last spring and had he not been called
away Sidney L. Wilson would have served
twenty-one years in the position which he
secured by accident and which came tc
him in the time OF his direst need.
