CHINESE HELP THE CRIMINALS
Great Difficulty Experienced In Convict.
Ing Celc,tiaI Murdersr

ing CelcstiaI Murderer
Just TO see how hard it is to convict
a Chinese accused of participation in
one of the highbinders' wars. will
cite single Instance that came under
the notice of one of the representa-.
tlyes of a great San francisco news
paper.
A Chinese gardener named All LUX
was shot in the back by a binder
while he was sitting in the Chinese
Theater on Jackson street. He was
instantly killed Immediately follow.
ing the fatal shot the usual movement
took place around the body, but the
actors on the stage never even so
much as hesitated in the delivery Of
their lines. When the man fell from
the bench the lookout at the main en-.
trance of the place called out In Chi.
nese that the white devils were com.
ing. The man who did the shooting
so far forgot himself as to run, and
the police on a hot scent saw him
and started after the fugitive. The
man ran out of the side entrance to
the auditorium and made his way TO
Fish Alley. The police were close to
him and saw him enter building at
the corner OF the next block. The
squad hurried into the place and cap.
tured two well-known binders. Meth
er of them had weapon, but there
were powder burns on the right hand
of one Of the men. Nothing could be
learned from either of the prisoners.
and they were locked up with
charge of murder against each OF
them.
the next morning in court two
brothers of the murdered man swore
that they were with him at the time
of tn. ir brothers death and saw the
man who did me shooting, and posi-
lively swore that neither of the prs.
oners had anything to do with the kill
ing The accused men were forth.
with released. But that night both OF
the brothers were arrested for killing
ore of the men who was turned loose
by their evidence in the morning and
dangerously wounding the other.
When the wounded man recovered he
swore tnat neither or the brothers had
anything to do with shooting him
Which all goes to prove that 1t does
not matter much what a Chinese has
to swear to, and also that in his poor
weak Mongolian way he does not take
a great deal Of stock in the brand Of
justice dispensed by the white devils.

Oak Versus Iron,

A writer in the Engineering News
calls attention to the relative durabil
ity of cast iron and oak timber under
rather destructive conditions. He re
fers to an old cannon, which has stood
since 1850 on the high ground Of Poin'
Bonita. at the entrance Of San Francis
co Bay. An examination Of this ole
piece, which was used as a fog sigma!
for many years, reveals the fact that
the oak carriage on which it is mount
ed is in practically perfect condition
Notwithstanding its fifty years ex
posure to the winds and moisture
laden atmosphere. The spokes, hub;
and fellOes, even where they have sunh
into the ground, are in perfect condi
tlon, while, on the other hand, the
smaller pieces Of iron, such as the CUR
axle, nuts, bands, etc. have completely
rusted away, and the gun itself, which
is Of the toughest cast iron, is attacked
TO depth Of nearly one-half inch.

A Smart Outing Costume.

Outing costumes made with short
skirts and blouse coats are essentially
smart, and have the merit Of being
comfortable as well. The stylish May
Manton model, shown in .the large
Illustration, is made of gray Panama
canvas stitched with corticelli silk, and
is worn with hat Of Panama straw
and a shirt waist Of white linen.
The blouse is eminently simple The
back is plain and smooth, without full
ness, but the fronts, while plain across
the shoulders, have the fullness stylish

droop slightly over the belt. The neck
is finished with a regulation coat col.

sion is used 1t is Joined to the blouse
beneath the belt.
The skirt is cut In i've cores that
are shaped to avoid darts at the hips
and that widen below the knees. The

SO giving a more becoming effect than
is possible when arranged over the

Electric Train Lighting.

The scheme of carrying a dynamo

the entire lighting load during the train

the standard of all Prussian railways,
