CHANG TIE VI.
The New Chinese Minister to Great
Britain.

From the London Chruniclet
His excellency, Chang TIE VI, the new
Chinese minister-in London. has had an
exceptionally long acquaintance with dipio-
macy. He was attached as Interpreter 10
the Burlingame mission, which began its
mission ambulant to the United States and
the principal countries Of Europe in 1867
and he was still attached to it when Mr..
Burlingame died at ST Petersburg in
March, 1870 HisF'selection was due to his
knowledge of English and other foreign
languages, which he had acquired in Dr.
Martins celebrated college at Pekin, known
as the Tung Wen kuan. OF College of Uni
versal Learning. In 1907 Chang TIE VI, or
rather, Mr. TIE Ming. he was then called
came to the London legation as a secretary
Returning to Pekin, he found the Boxer
movement just beginning to become serious
He was arraigned before one Of the So
called Boxer courts a person tainted
with sympathy fer the foreigners" but for
tunateiy this court refrained from passing
sentence, and referred the case for decision
to Prince Chuang. The prince, being fully
acquainted with his career, ordered his re-
lease, and during the attack on the lega-
lions Chang TIE VI kept himself in retire
ment. On his way to take up his post here
he was nominated to represent China at the
enforcement Of King Alfonso at Madrid
Reference has been made to his change
OF name from TIE Ming to Chang TIE vi, and
this was due to a rather interesting cir
cumstance. The minister is a Chinese ban
nerman-that Is to say. a descendant of the
Chinese who under Won Sankwei Joined
the Tartars at the commencement of the
Manchu invasion Of China. These men
dropped their Chinese surnames. which
come first. the minister's ancestor being Of
the gems Chang. For private reasons the
minister, having been known in the early
part OF his career simply TIE Ming, re-
vlved the use Of his family surname, and
became Chang TIE VI.

Program.
special Correspondence of The Evening Star

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
LAUREL. Md. July 5. 1902
Rain put a damper the well-laid plans
of the Laurel board Of trade for the cele-
bration of the Fourth of July here. Ac-
cording to the program the days proceed
ings were inaugurated with a parade
headed by a Washington band and a local
band. and included floats, gaily decorated
teams, grotesque figures and a body Of
horsemen. This number Of the program
consumed large part of the morning and
it was between IL and u o'clock before the
procession arrived at the grove where the
remainder of the program Of the morning
was presented.
The parade was reviewed by a special
committee, whose duty was to award prizes
to the double team making the finest show
ing, the single team, the best-mounted per-
son and the most grotesque feature. Those
securing the prizes were Mr.. Charles H.
Stanley, for the best double team: Elwood
Fisher, for the single team; George Cook
of Howard county, the best mount, and
Joseph Morrison. made up as Uncle SAM
and in cart draped with the national col
ors and drawn by goat. won the prize
Is supplying the most grotesque outfit
The floats representing the Laurel Cot
ton Mills Company and the firm of Schooey
& Tighe were noticeable features of the pa
rade. The former was drawn by eight
horses. and consisted of huge bale of the
green product, a bale of the finished cotton
goods. looms and other mechanical contriv-
ances. A number Of operatives were seated
on the float. The Schooley & Tighe float
contained sheafs of grain, growing corn
and various agricultural implements.
Arriving at the grove, a special choir
rendered a number Of national airs. The
Declaration of Independence was read by
Mr.. John D. Cronmiller. About the same
time a game of base ball was played on the
athletic field between teams representing
the uptown and downtown sections. The
uptown boys were the victors. According
to the program this team would have met
the Atlas team from Baltimore for a spe-
cial prize.
Early in the afternoon downpour Of
rain put a quietus to the proceedings. On
this account the special game of base ball,
the field sports, tournament and the fire
works display at night had to be dispensed
with. 1t was decided to have the display
take place tonight.

A Cornish Dustfall.
rom the London Telegraph.

From the London Telegraph.
In the course Of a paper on THE Cornish
Dustfall of January. 1902" read before the
Royal Meteorological Society at 10 Victoria
street yesterday, Mr.. II. r. Mill said that
since the krakatoa eruption in 1888, when
the volcanic dust thrown into the air made
itself apparent for many months all over
the world In a long series of brilliant sum
sets the most remarkable instance of far
Travelled dust was that which occurred in
March. IDOL In Italy the rain fell so
thickly charged with red sand that the
peasants took ii for blood and became pam
1c-strlcken- For three days the dust cloud
travelled northward over central Europe
substantial traces falling as far north as
the Danish Islands, and instances in which
II reached parts of England and Scotland
had been recorded. a large quantity of
similar dust fell about January p last in
cornwall over an area of 1000 square
miles. and the conclusion seemed to be that
about this time the atmosphere over the
extreme west of Europe consisted of air
which had CONF from the African deserts.
Carrying with 1t a quantity of fine dust OF
which a mere vestige-some 100000 tons or
so-had been caught in its fall and carried
TO the shores of the channel. There seemed
10 be little doubt that the farmers OF the
west OF England had this spring plowed
many tons of the sand OF the Sahara into
their burrows.

The Snail.

From the New York Tribune.
The popularity Of the snail as an article
Of food is not confined to Paris. but ex-
tends throughout southern Europe and
some parts OF Africa. DR.. Edrard, French
writer in a pamphlet says that 10000
pounds OF snails are sent daily to Paris
from the gardens at Poitou. Burgundy,
Champagne and Provence. Those reared in
gardens are fed on aromatic herbs to i'm
prove their flavor. Their market price is
from francs so centimes to francs so
centimes hundred. while those from the
hedges, woods and forests bring only 2
francs to francs so centines. The pro-
prietor Of one snailery in the vicinity OF
Dion nets over 1900 francs annually. The
snail Is reared and fattened with great
care In some cantons Of Switzerland as an
article Of luxury, and Is exported in a pic
killed. state. 1t is also eaten as a relish and
nutritious article Of food in Austria, Spain.
Italy and in some sections Of the Un;<ld
States. The Ashantees and other African
tribes smoke them and eat them as daily
food all the year around. In Algeria, in
the markets, large heaps Of snails are sold
by the bushel and the hundred as an arti-
Gle of food. Vendors hawk them in the
streets OF Cairo. In modern Rome fresh
gathered snails are hawked by women from
door to door.

American Hawthorns.

The eYn1ora inns of hoto picfc h,,

From the Boston Transcript.
The explorations of botanists have devel-
oped, during the past few years. certain
facts concerning the American hawthorns
which constitute one of the surprises in the
field of botany. To tine merely lay mind
the mention of the hawthorn commonly
suggests only an attractive ornamental tree
of English. or at least of European origin;
the Idea that there are species indigenous
to our own soil proving generally an inter-
esting but quite novel bit of information
And 1t may be added that although stu
dents OF the North American sylvia have
always been well aware of number OF fine
native species. they too. 1t seems, until very
recent years. had but faint comprehen-
sion Of the somewhat astonishing facts
So far as Is now known. the principal
home OF the hawthorn Is North America

TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS,
And to All Others who Wish to
Take The Leader.

To meet the requirements of
its growing circulation and in
creasing job printing patronage,
THE LEADER has found it nec-
essary to add an engine to its
outfit to run its presses. We
have, therefore, closed a con-
tract for a gasoline engine of
one of the best patterns, to be
delivered within the next 80
days. We have agreed to pay
cash for the new machine, and
in order to meet this and other
extra expenses incident to the
change of power, we must raise
an extra amount of cash be-
tween now and February |. To
do this, we have decided to call
upon all of our subscribers and
those who wish to become SUBJ
scribers for the coming year, to
assist us, and to make it to
their advantage to do so.
Our proposition is this: From
now until the first day OF Feb
ruary, 1902, and including that
date, all subscribers, old or
new, can get THE LEADER at
ONE DOLLAR A YEAR. Ii you
want THE LEADER and HOME
AND FARM combined, you can
get both papers by paying Sl.25.
Persons who have recently paid
our regular subscription price of
$l.5O, can have their time ex=
tended for another year beyond
their present limit by paying
the dollar rate while this spe=
Cial offer is in force, or they can
get THE LEADER and HOME
AND FARM for another year by
paying Sl.25.
We hope all who read this
notice will take advantage of it,
and thus do a good thing for
themselves and at the same
time help us pay cash for our
engine.
FAIR NOTICE This offer will not
be continued after February l.. 1t will
positively be withdrawn on that date,
and our regular subscription price of
$3.50 per year will go into effect
again; so don't procrastinate- now Is
the accepted time. There will be no
exception to this rule, and no one
need ask or expect it.
