Wear Paper Slippers.

A queer improvement is being introduced
in hotels. and If it succeeds with those
that are trying it now 1t is hoped that final
ly it will become universal. 1t is to fur
nish every guest on his arrival with slip
pers. These slippers are made of paper
The soles are of pasteboard and the rest
Is made OF white or brown paper, stitched
with heavy cotton to prevent tearing
There are various qualities. The most ex-
pensive is made of an extra good quality
of white paper. The cheapest is made Of
slippers are SO cheap that new ones can
be furnished to each guest An attempt is
being made also to introduce them in hos
pitfalls and public institutions, as they would
add much to cleanliness and form another
preventive Of contagion, since each pair
could be thrown away or destroyed as soon
as the wearer had done with them.

DISASTROUS SHAM BATTLE.
Military Maneuvers in China Not a
Success With Populace,

From the North China Daily News
Viceroy Chang Chih-tung held a grand
review of all the modern drilled forces in
the Yangtse provinces. together with the
Nanyang and a part of the Pieyang naval
squadrons. AS a military and naval dis
play the affair, though comparatively petty
in dimensions, appears to have been sue
cessful. But its effects upon the population
of the district were disastrous
1t was a sham battle, but to the natives
occupying the country to the east and
south of the forts and battle lines 1t was a
very serious affair. Absolute panic seized
the whole population.
A map of the whole section was specially
made by the viceroy's men, occupying many
days before the review took place. The map
makers industriously spread the report that
Chang Kung-pao had asked for 400, 600 taels
from General Ii, and been refused. There
fore he was coming with all his forces to
thrash Ii and his army. Soldiers were ar
irving from about the 10th, in increasing
numbers, up to the 14th instant The night
of Friday, the 18th, the viceroy arrived.
The saluting that took place on his arrival
was the beginning of fearful struggle to
the ignorant farmers. By Saturday morn
ing the price of rice in the city had fallen
500 cash per picul-in the country, in many
places, as much as 1000 cash per picul. BY
4 pm in a large section of country it was
half price, compared with two days be-
fore. Chickens, pigs and cows were being
offered In the same way, but fortunately
for the people there were few buyers.
So great was the panic that suicide was
resorted to, Further, 1t Is reported, many
children were drowned in order to get rid
of them and allow their parents to run the
faster. Sunday morning your correspondent
rode ten miles through deserted villages
and country hamlets. There was scarcely
one In a hundred Of the ordinary population
left The soldiers in the line added to the
panic by repeated declarations that there
was to be a battle and they would use real
bullets. The sick. in many cases, were de-
serted, and in many others exposure ag-
gravated the diseases with the worst re-
suits.

STRONG PLEA FOR HARMoNY.s
Henry Watterson Deprecates Sectional
Animosity Over the Negro.


A dispatch from Chicago last night says:
The annual banquet of the Hamilton
Club. which is held each year on the ami
versary of the surrender Of Appomattox,
transpired tonight in the Auditorium Hotel.
A large number of guests was present, and
many came from distant states Ex-Rep-
resentative Francis w. Cushman Of Ia
coma, Wash, was to have delivered an ad-
Dress but was unable to be present because
of the death of his father. The other ad-
dresses were by Henry Watterson of Louis
vile. KY; Rev. Thomas P. Green, Cedar
Rapids, Iowa, and Edward L. Hamilton Of
Michigan.
Mr. Watterson said the negro question
is a racial problem, to be solved by the
process of evolution, not by political agita-
ton.
Where there is one negro fit for citizen
ship" he said, there are myriads of ne
groes wholly unfit. The dollhouse process
has been tried and it has failed. If, invest
ed with every right enjoyed by the whites,
the blacks, gaining in all things else, have
brought corruption into the suffrage and
discredit upon themselves, is 1t not kind
of madness further to press artificial meth
DDS, which. however justified theoretically
from educational lookouts in Michigan,
Iowa and Wisconsin, fall helpless to the
ground in their practical application to the
-barbarous toilers in the cotton fields
and corn lands of Alabama, Georgia and
South Carolina?
Il appeal to you equally in what con-
ceive the true interest of the black people
along with the white people of the south;
nay. and of the north as well, for all our
interests are indissoluble, interchangeable,
and that can never be good or bad for one
section which is not good or bad for the
other section. Modern invention, which
already has annihilated time and space, is
surely erasing sectional lines. 1t ought not
to leave so much as Renaissance of Sec
tfonal strife.
'If that dread spirit should come again
it's evil winds will not blow between the
north and the south, but between the east
and west the horns of the dilemma pre-
sented by extremism involving new ire
pressible conflict between capital and la
Dor. May that day never come but in case
it does the conservatism of the north will
need the conservatism of the south The
law-loving forces of the north will need
the law-breeding instincts of the south.
The Americanism Of the north will need
the Americanism of the south. Then, in
deed shall both sections learn what racial
homogeneity means and know for certain
that blood is thicker than water"
A reception in the parlors of the hotel
preceded the banquet.
