Ong Chung, a barber at No. 1GS Waverly
place was quietly shaving a customer when
, Il Hop Sing highbinder pushed his way into
the shop, Before ong Chung or the other
drew his revolver and fired one shot. He
was a better marksman than his fellow
tongmen. for the bullet took effect just
below the armpit on the left side and
might have been fatal If it had not been
detected.

with the exception of Ong Pung, a Sen
Suey Wing warrior. there is little evidence
against any of them.
Watchmen Arbogast and Harrison fol-
lowed the crowd up Clay street during the
Spofford alley when Nah Ching Ong was
shot. Ong Pung was running down the al
ley when he was overtaken.
He was at once recognized by Man Ching
as the man who had shot. him., and will
be held and charged with the crime. Gew
Tong. who was also running away, was ar
rested by Sergeant Cook.
The fellow was out of breath and refused
to talk. but as he belongs to the Hop sings
it is unlikely that he shot one OF his own
men.
After the shooting of Ong Chung. Gee
Kong was seen by Sergeant Cook running
down Spofford alley. He was placed under
arrest. but has not been identified. Cook
also took into custody Wong Beak Tong,
who was in the barber shop at the time.
His actions were so suspicious that 1t was
deemed best to hold him until his move
ments can be explained:
A THIRD FUSILLADE.
The third fight took. place a few minutes
before 10 o'clock, at the corner of Jackson
street and Ross alley. Gee Tong was on his
way home when he was assaulted by two
men. Six shots were fired. Both hands of
Gee Tong were pierced, but with these ex-
ceptions he escaped injury. Policeman
Keohane was standing on Jackson street
only a hundred feet away. He pursued one
of the highbinders to the roof of a building

was found in the coolies blouse. He gives
the name of All Fong and is a member Of
the Sam Yup Association. Why the Sam
Yups should Interfere in the present contro-
versy Is a mystery to the police. The sec
ond assailant of Yee Fong ran down Ross
alley and escaped into a building on Wash

as he ran and 1t was later recovered by De-

Race Separation.

Chicago, Sept. 3-John Temple
Graves of Atlanta delivered an ad.
dress on the problem of the races this
morning before a convocation of the
Chicago University. He followed
the lines of his Chsutauqua address,
urging separation of the races as the
only solution, wh. ;h is neither i'm
practicable nor impossible.
He said: The South is neither
cruel or unpatriotic; the North knows
it. The North is neither immovable
nor indicative: the South knows it.
We are yet one people, and must
meet on plan OF brotherhood and
destiny" He was greeted by an i'm
mense audience and great enthusiasm.

a Geod Rule.

Happy the man that}oes not boast
nor bluster. One has often to su'-
render an opinion or retreat from a
position. It comes easier to the
humble man to do these things.
Benjamin Franklin tells in his "auto-
biography" that he made it a rule of
his life never to emphatically slate
his disagreement with others. He
would say: II believe you are mis-
tsken," or some work that only par
TALLY committed him to his own state
ment upon the subject. Such rule
is far more likely to lead to pleasant
results than the dictatorial utter
ances of some people. Besides it
evinces more of the genteel spirit
than is shown in the opposite method.

Curiosity.

A dog turns around several times
before laying down simply because
his far-away progenitors did it in
order to make bed in the grass or
snow. In placing his nose on his
paws he is doing what these same
progenitors did to keep their nostrils
protected. In the careful cleaning
of her fur the modern cat initiates

able in this way to remove odors
likely to betray their presence to
the animals they were hunting.
