Pope's Death Is Timely.

Leo XIII. was happy in his death. Or
perhaps we might say, if the phrase be
properly understood, that the Roman
Catholic church and indeed the whole
Christian world, were happy in his
death. The time was we'll chosen, when
peace prevailed on every hand, when
no great issues were impending, and
when, thanks largely to Leo himself,
the Roman church was in the highest
estate of influence and prosperity that
it had known for many years. Since
the church had to lose him, it was we'll
to do so at such a time. The manner
of his passing was also fitting, for,
agonizing as it was in some respects
the pope's protracted illness, with its
alterations of hope and despair, was
unquestionably profitable to the church
of which he was the head and to the
world at large. Because of it sympa-
thies were aroused and expressed as in
other circumstances they might not
have been. and the mutual relations be-
tween that church and the world were
materially ameliorated.-New York

Title Should Be Easily Settled.

The announcement that the United
States claim sovereignty over certain
islands off the coast of Borneo is likely
to result in a case for international ar
bitration. These islands are of i'm
portant strategic value, and will hardly
be relinquished by Great Britain with
out some resistance. We claim the ISL
ands through our acquisition of SPANS
rights in these waters. The claim of
the British Borneo company is based
on a treaty made in 1878 with the sui
tan of Zulu, before his capitulation to
Spain. The point to be decided is
whether Spain had a good title to the
islands antedating the sultan's cession
of them. If she did, the sultan could
not cede them; if she did not, she could
not convey to us what she did not
have.-Louisville Courier Journal.

SHAKING IN HIS
SHOON IS HI SWUNG
Continued From First Page

ince, diplomatic efforts were begun. A
whisper of Boxers" at court, in con-
nection with the efforts of the manda-
rim, in a military way, was sufficient
to start an investigation. A stout de-
MEL by XII Swung was taken as con-
firmation of what the Russian ambas-
sador charged.
IF not in league with the Boxer
movement, then XII Swung must be in
league with the foreign devils" was
the way it was put.
The summons came for XII Swung to
appear in Canton and answer in per-
son the charges that had been made
against him in connection with Xvi
Chang affairs. To deny the allegations
on his arrival there meant discredit
for him. but XII Swung obeyed the
summons. Disgrace followed. and an
incarceration. which was to end in an
ignoble death, followed. The military
escort assigned to look after XII Swung
was lax in it's duty. and the escape of
the former mandarin was easily ac-
complished.
HI Swung knew of the pirates of
Chang Ok. There were many junks
controlled by the lieutenants of this
pirate known in Chinese waters to for
egn warships. If he could escape to
one of them he might at least live for
time. He knew that his relatives and
the officials in the palace at Xvi
Chang had given him UP for dead, and
that the investigation at Canton had
been prepared for them as we'll as for
himself.
His troubles overcame him as he
stood gazing at the waters of the
Yangtse Kiang river. He saw the SOL
diers of the imperial army coming in
his direction. He slid into the water,
and, swimming well into the middle of
the stream. climbed aboard a junk
Cursings and beatings were his well
come. and he took them without a
word of complaint The boat was
manned and started for the sea. Ki
Swung was given his tasks. and he
performed them in "a methodical man
ner. Warlike preparations followed
closely on the sighting of a vessel of
foreign appearance. XII Swung took
but little part in the fight that soon
came. Armed with pike and cutlass,
the pirates swarmed over the side of
the merchant ship. and the fighting
was hand to hand. Almost as fast as
the bodies of the dead were thrown
overheard their places were taken by
live men.
Finally force of numbers brought
victory to the pirates. They took
charge Of the captured ship, which
proved to be an American merchant
man. XII Swung, the novice, was placed
aboard the captured ship, along with
half dozen of the pirates. while the
junk prepared to tow the ship along. In
the evening a storm came up and the
line parted. The pirates were swept
overheard one by one. until HI Swung
was the only person left alive on the
ship.
The Chinese does not know how long
he remained on the vessel neither does
he know the distance Travelled. The
vessel was picked up in the Pacific by
another American ship. and tOwed into
California port for salvage XII
Swung came with the ship, and ever
since has been wandering around the
West, haunted by the fear that he will
be taken by the Russians. the Chinese
government or by the pirates who, he
says. are seeking his life

Lipton,s Winning Chance.

Sir Thomas Lipton's new challenger
has shown herself to be the best boat
that has come across in the quest for
the Americas cup. Years ago there
was a wide difference between the
English and the American plans of
building racing yachts, but the design
ers have been coming closer and closer
together. Americans have abandoned
the "skimming dish" style of boat and
the English have modified their deep
and narrow models until the differences
are matters of detail rather than of
general design. Such being the case it
is inevitable that the speed of the best
products shall become approximately
the same. We shall all cling Loyalty to
the belief that the American boat will
prove, as always, the better of the two,
but it is undeniable that Liptons
money and persistency have made him
an antagonist to be regarded with
something more than respect.

county, and, as last year, many far
mers are unable to secure sufficient
help. There has been a scarcity for
several years, the young men prefer
ring to work in the mills in the city.
AS result wages have advanced ma
terially, and many inducements are
thrown out for help.
AS high as $1.25 to $3.50 is paid for
an experienced fam hand. Many far
mers are advertising for help, but are
unable to secure any. The old custom
of serving whisky and lunch in the
fields, which had fallen into disuse, has
been revived in some districts.
AS a special inducement to secure
help, three meals are. served, and be-
tween meals a quantity of whisky and
an old fashioned lunch is supplied al
intervals. Some farmers have secured
help by this, bat many more 1aborers
are needed.

Press Comment
When Union Men Are Bupes.

Common sense would seem to show
that the labor unions must presently
rid themselves of their parasites. 1t lS
inconceivable that they should permit
themselves to be exploited, at their own
expense, for the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF the
sharp-wi rogues who have gained
the ascendancy in their management.
1t is not in human nature to stand 1t;
and there is as much human nature In
labor organizations as there is in any
other coalitions of men for a common
end. When men quit work because
they consider their wages to be insult
fcient or because they think they can,
by doing so, get higher wages they
are we'll within their rights. When they
quit work ostensibly for either of these
reasons, but really only because their
leader or walking delegate has not re-
ceived a thousand dollars which he de-
manded as the price of their remaining
at work, they are fools-New York

CERTAIN SECTS HAVE
LARGEST FAMILIES
Hebrews and Catholics outrank Men,
bers of Protestant Denomination.

NEW YORK, July 27.-In the Fed
Grafton. the quarterly organ Of the
Federation of Churches and Christian
Organizations in New York City, is
given the result of an investigation
into race suicide by the executive sec
rotary. Dr. Walter Laidlaw. who says:
THAT religion may have directly TO
do with the question of race suicide
has been illustrated by the sociological
studies of the federation. The material
collected on both the East and West
sides Of Manhattan and in various
wards of Brooklyn during the past
seven years, and the exceptional equip
ment for handling it, have made 1t
possible to prepare a careful study of
the subject.
"The average number of children in
the Protestant families is 1.S5, in the
Roman Catholic 2.03, and in the He
brew 254 children. Only 1915 per cent
of The Hebrews are without children,
whereas 283 per cent of the Protest
ants are without children. 1t should
be noticed that six times as many He
brew families have nine children as
have the Protestant families; and that
for every Protestant family with eight
children there are proportionately four
Hebrew, and twice as many with seven
children AT the other end of the table.
it appears that the proportion Of Pro-
testant families with but one or two
children is larger than that of the He
brew families with one or two children.
among the Protestant Communions
there are several whose average of
children is higher than the Roman
Catholic average. notably the Episco-
palian and Presbyterian, but except
ing the Free Methodists, there is not
single Protestant communion in which
the average is as high as the HebreE."
