UAI~e1ang Chinese.

q typical scene in a Manchurian VII.

ent of the London News:
f"That afternoon we pulled up near
three shanties on woodside, and a
gang or Chinese, all squabbling and
making noises like dogs growing over
bones, fought with one another to get
on platform where a boiler was
chained. There was a scuf1e. One
Chinese was pushed backward and
fell His head hit the metal and
cracked like nut. He gave wriggle
and died. The Russians who saw the
accident were affected. The Chinese
laughed. He lay for an hour in the
sun until I undid his sleeping rug and
spread it over his face. He was soon
forgotten A Chinese threw some hot
water over a growing dog and made

The indian creation Legend.

The earliest source for the religion
of India is the hymns Of the Rig Veda,
the date of which is now fixed at about
1000 B. c. In one of these hymns we
encounter as the creator Purusha, who
is simply a "magnified man." A pam
theistic turn, however, is given to this
conception under the influence Of
which Purusha becomes the 'all in all"
and is identified with the universe,
with what has been and what shall be.
All gods, animals and castles are parts
Of him. The moon is his mind, the sun
his eye, from his mouth sprang Indra
and Agni and from his breath Vayu.
space from his navel, heaven from his
head and the earth from his feet. This
emanation theory when freed from its
primitive elements becomes pantheism
pure and simple. In accord with this
view the source of creative activity is
carried back in other hymns to "de-
SIRE" We read in Vedic literature that
"desire is the seed of the mind. Nor.

new AMBASSADOR.
REPORTED LORD LANDSDOwNE
MAY COME TO WASHINGTON.

London, May 26-The death of Lord
Pauncefote OF Preston, the British
ambassador at Washington, will prob
ably be more deeply regretted by the
British public than would the loss Of
any other British diplomatist. The
question of q successor has been dis
cussed for long time, as his retire
ment was expected. Mr.. Saunderson,
under secretary for the foreign office,
has been prominently mentioned for
the place, but from present indica-
tions the selection will be one Of the
most prominent men in the service.
The Marquis of Lansdowne, the for
eign secretary, favors the selection Of
an expert ON international law. The
latest gossip is that the Marquis Of
Lansdowne himself may go to Wash

REPORTED PROMOTION.
POPULAR ILLINOIS CENTRAL
OFFICIAL HERE MAY GO
TO BURNSIDES.

1t is reported in railroad circles that
Master Mechanic Barton Of the local
shops will succeed Mr.. Luttrell, for
merly the master mechanic at Burn
sides shop at Chicago.
Mr.. Luttrell resigned several weeks
ago to accept a position as superin-
tendent of motive power Of the South
ern Pacific, and his successor has
never been appointed. 1t is known
that the promotion lies between either
Mr.. Barton Of the local shops or Mr..
+. F. Place, the master mechanic at
Waterloo, Iowa. As the Paducah
shops are next largest on the system ii
is supposed that the promotion will be
made here.
Mr.. Place has been general foreman
at Burnside for some time, however,
and has been promoted to his present
position short time only. A great
deal Of interest is being taken in the
matter and the promotion will be
made, it is thought, about the first Of
the month.

HOW CHEAP BAKING
POWDER Is MADE

Wv AeA-AN -
The health department Of New York
has seized a quantity of so-called
cheap baking powder, which it found
in that city. Attention was attracted
to it by the low price at which it was
being sold in the department stores.
Samples were taken and the chemist
of the health department reported the
stuff to be ian alum powder" which
analysis showed to be composed chiefly
Of alum and pulverized rock.
The powder was declared to be dan
gerous to health, and several thousand
pounds were Grated to the offal dock
and destroyed.
IL is unsafe to experiment with
these so-called "cheap" articles of
food. They are sure to be made from
alum, rock or other injurious matter.
In baking powders. the high GLASS,
cream Of tartar brands are the most
economical. because they go farther in

LATE NEWS FROM THE RIVERS

The river pirates are getting in their
good work on the river at present and
several coils of fine rope have been
stolen from the several different boat
lines.
Captain II. Baker, Of the Aver and
Lord Tie Co., reports that he has lost
within the past several days two coils
Of fine rope, both marked with purple
strands and easily identified. One
coil of check line valued at $50 was
stolen and also 500 feet of ga inch
line valued at $50. There have been
other thefts from the company but of
minor Importance. Barrett Bros.
have lost several fine coils of rope of
their boats and every effort is being
put forth to catch the pirates and land
them behind the bars. Captain Baker
is confident that he knows one man
guilty of part Of the thefts and will
report the same to the police for in
vestigatiop. He has located his rope
in one of the junk shops and when the
seller is found will have the right
man.
Captain Baker also reports that ma
ny ties are being stolen this season,
more than have been stolen in many
years. The firm has lost already this
season 1000 ties and the thieves are
still at work. They shove the ties
of the piles, near the bank, and saw
the ends Off, thereby removing the
brand and claim they caught the ties
in the river. All firms are losing
heavy and although the watchmen are
keeping strict watch the thieves can
not be caught.
One man suspected Of having been
implicated in the rope thefts was seen
to dig mp a coil of rope he had bur
led and this is the way the stolen
property is kept until interest in the
robbery has died out sufficiently tc
effect a sale without suspicion.
