PIRATES OF TO-DAY ARE TO
BE FOUND In CHINA SEA,
Captain E. F. Sauvalle of the French Colonial Army Tells Of the
Atrocities Committed by Murderous Chinese FreebOoters of Tong
Hing, Papa and Canton.

WRITTEN o THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC.
Piracy is just as prevalent nowadays on
the southern coast Of China as IL ever was
In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries,
when the first Portuguese and Dutch trad
ere landed in that distant country. II one
no longer hears of European and American
merchantmen being plundered at sea. as was
not fnfrequently the case up to the middle
OF the last century. II Is not due to any de-
crease in the number Of sea rovers. but sim
ply to the Introduction OF steam power,
which has done away with the sailing yes
sci and makes it impossible for a Chtese
junk to overtake the slowest cargo boat.
Although we have all read tales OF the
awful atrocities committed by Chinese pi-
rates after the capture Of some becalmed
vessel. the rare survivors have never been
able to give any Information beyond de-
scribing the cruelties pTacticed by their cap
tors and the way in which they were at
tackled. Having no interpreters on board.

WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC
BY exchanging his doctor for a riding
master William Lemp, Jr. Familiarity called
Billy among his friends, has solved the
problem Of heath and good cheer.
After trying the new m,Cic.he on himself
and finding 1t eficacious. Mr.. Lemp pre-
scribed it for his family. his brothers and
sisters. as well as his friends. so that at
the present time horseback riding in a scien-
tifc way is the principal recreation of all
the members Of the Lemp family.
The Academy. which was formerly used as
a -cooling-room for the horses employed by
the brewery is one of the finest in the
country. since il has been converted into a
riding school.
II measures 30 by 90 feet.
The roof is elevated at least 100 feet above
the solid wall. resting on iron braces, 50
as TO admit light and air on all sides.
Every day the arena is covered with a
fresh layer OF tanbark s inches deep and
kept in order with a rake as fine almost as
Il comb.
Fifty horses could easily disport them
selves in this vast coliseum. which is the
finest in the country for size and equip
ment.
As it is. a dozen or more persons ride ev-
cry day under the tutilage of a special rid
ingmaster. whom the Lemps have engaged
for their exclusive benefit.
COLONEL FUCHS. THE
RIDINGMAsTER is EXACTNG.
In the morning the horses are worked by
Colonel Charles Fuchs. a weIl-known riding
master. who has taught some of the best
people in the East and North.
The Colonel never allows a morning to
elapse without putting all the equestrian
horses of the L<mp stables through their

THOROUGHBRED HORSES IN
THE LEMP STABLES.
The winters training under Colonel Fuchs
has prepared all his pupils for long-distance
rides. which will be undertaken as soon as
the weather grows mild and the roads are
in good condition.
These riding parties will extend from two
to three days and viii be taken into the
country.
From now on the Lemp cavalcade will be
a familiar sight on the boulevards Of the
West and South End. in the parks and on
the remote country roads.
The private stables Of the Lenps contain
az present ten or eleven thoroughbreds.

say a few words.
A fathers first duty Is always that OF
obedience At all times and in all places
he should remember that only In undues-
tioning obedience to the higher powers Is
true happiness 10 be found. Next TO this
first great duty is that OF generosity.
This is best shown By the cheerful pay
ment OF bills. A man will find that his
daughter will love him more II he pays her
bills without making a face. A father
should be always at his daughters service.

Otherwise she would be dependent on the
kindness Of Tom, Dick and Harry.
In these little ways a father can show

toward his pupils. but rather exacting and
severe in his demands.

New Freight House.

That the Fl Paso & Southwestern is to build new freight house is now an assured fact. The rumor has beer af1oat for many months to the effect that this would be done. but no. until last night could any confirmation ot the run.or be procured. Superintenl ent H. J. Simmons was in the city last evening and over the phone stated to the Review that the company had decided to build. but that no final ar engagements had been made. It has not been finally decided just where the new freight house will be erected. but it is commonly believed that where the old round house now stands will be he site. No plans have been drawn up and it is not known yet what the size of the building will be. but it will be sufficiently large to accom- m date the needs of the Bisbee busi- ness.
