Ancestry OF shoemaKlnE.


There is nothing vulgar about the
ancestry Of the shoemaking trade in
the United States. The first shoemak-
er came over in the Mayfower. His
name was Thomas Beard, and he had
an income from the London company
Of 500 year and received fifty acres
of land on which to settle. Seven
years later the city Of Lynn was
founded, and ever since it has been
making shoes for the world. Philip
kertland. native Of Buckingham
shire. was the first shoemaker Of the
city Of Lynn. In George Washington's
day Lynn had 200 master workmen
and COO journeymen shoemakers, turn
ing out every year no less than 100000
pairs Of fine Shoes

russia has demanded that China sign
an agreement practically crains to

excluding other natiua> from chat
country. The Russian cnirge i!af-
faires. NJ. l'lancon, has Informed
Prince Ching. president Of the foreign
office, that no further steps in the
evacuation of Manchuria will be taken
until this agreement is signed. Prince
Ching r, fused the hussian terms, bu2
his refusal probably pleases Russia as
his acceptance would have done, as
either alternative means the relinQu'
ishnent Of Chinese sovereignty in
Marchuria. The Russian demands
are as follows:
First, no Manchurian ports or towns
are to be opened; second, no more for
eign consuls are to be admitted into
Manchuria: third, no foreigners ex.
cept Russians are to be employed in
the public service Of Manchuria:
fourth, the present status of the ad'
ministration Of Manchuria is to re
main unchanged; fifth, the cuSte m:
receipts at the port Of Newchwal
are to be given to the Russo-Chinese
bank: sixth, a sanitary commission tc
be organized under Russian control:
seventh, Russia is entitled to attach
the telegraph wires and poles Of al
Chinese lines in Manchuria, and
eighth, no territory in Manchuria is
to be a!ienated to any other power.
WILL MAKE A PROTEST.
A Washington Dispatch says Minis,
ter Conger at Peking has cabled Sec
retary Hay synopsis Of the demands
upon China by Russia respecting the
control Of Manchuria. This account
agrees precisely with the press report
of RusSia's latest coup from the
Chinese capitol. Secretary Hay will
take no action in the matter until he
has communicated the facts to the
President and learned the latter's
wishes.
The present impression here is thai
Russia's action is distant breach OF
faith with the United States. Russia
pledged itself three times formally ir
documents that ale on record that the
open door, should be maintained in
Marchuria and that Russian troop:
would be withdrawn as soon as peace
was restored. Finally the latte
promise took the shape OF treaty
Stipulatiens. 1t was provided thai
tue evacuation should take place with
in three distinct periods.
The Russian soldiers should have
quit Manchuria on the 9Th of thi!
month, according to the treaty, but d
plausible explanation for the tempor
ary retention of the remaining Rus
sian Croups was offered by Russia il
the claim that the country was Still
disturbed, and that vigorous military
measures were necessary for purposes
Of sanitation.
Officials declare that there is NJ
danger Of war with Russia over tns
incident. The government Of The
Cuised States will record its ideas OF
what should be done in Manchuria
and, as a result Of Secretary Hays
projected conference with the Pfesi.
dent, it is probable that a. further re.
monstrance will be added, but it Is
anticipated that Russia will, for the
time being at least allay foreign op'
position or at least that Of the United
States by carrying out its pledge as
TO the open door.

Cuckoo Customs In England

There are or were not long ago In
different parts of England remnants OF
old customs marking the position which
the cuckoo held in the middle ages. In
Shropshire till very recently, when the
first cuckoo was heard, the laborers
were in the habit Of leaving their work,
making holiday Of the rest Of the day
and carousing in what they called
cuckoo ale. Among the peasantry In
some parts Of the kingdom it was con-
sidered to be very unlucky to have no
money in your pocket when you heard
the cuckoo's note for the first time In
the season
