Kwat thought it would be dangerous
| for China to assist Japan as she was
| uuprepared for the Russian invasion
which would Immediately follow a dec
Iaration of war. Absolute neutrality
would be the only safe course for
China.
Sing Lee, for the affirmative, thought
this a good time for China to show her
strength. China could hardly whip
Russia alone but now that Japan has
Russia half whipped China could jump
in and help finish the job. He declared
that japan is 1.-The Yankee of the Far
East" and that if Japan becomes the
dominant power she will uplift China.
China also needed to learn how to fight.
'eWashington and other Generals had
learned how to fight by contending
against the Indians for the British, and
with the knowledge thereby gained
turned around and whipped the British.
China could learn how to fight by fight
ing Russians for the Japanese and
when occasion made it necessary they
could use their new knowledge in re-
sisting future Japanese encroachment
in China"
a declaration of war by the Manchu
dynasty would not be concurred in by
the majority of the people. The war
on China's part would put the country
in a turmoil. Robber bands would rise
and possibly exterminate the foreigners
and thus cause the powers to again
invade China.
The judges declared that the mega
tives had presented the best argument
but complimented the alternatives for
the manner in which they had present
ed the losing side.

DEBATED ON THE WAR.
The most interesting portion of the
entertainment, a debate, followed. The
subject of debate was: Resolved, that
China should join Japan in the present
war with Russia Loo Biw opened
for the affirmative. He spoke of Rus
sian encroachment in Eastern Asia and
endeavored to show how Russian de-
feat would assist China and place the
latter nation on a firmer basis as
world power.
Ting Kwat, for the negative, present
ed the following reasons why China
should refrain from mixing in the
trouble:
F1rSt-Ihefe is no need.
"Second-There is no excuse for it.
''Third-China has no money or war
material with which to enter such
struggle.
''Fourth-Russia instead of Japan
would be assisted by China joining
Japan"
Clearly and fiuently Ting Kwat gave
his argument. The Japanese because
of their continuous victories are in such
a position that they do not need help,
and even the Russians believe that
Japan will ultimately be successful.
Russia is friendly to China and at va
rious times has prevented the partition
of the Empire. Russia has done moth
ing against China to which China has
not consented. cit isl said the speak

A SPECIMEN GRAFTON.
NJ. 1. Glee Club

The following is an grafton delivered
at the entertainment by Arthur Akina:
Over four thousand years ago, on the
fertile plains of Asia, the cradle of
the human race, two of the most pro-
minent families of the sons of men,
having concluded that the over-popu-
lous condition of the ancestral land
made it necessary for them to seek
new abodes, said farewell and parted,
the one journeying toward the rising
and the other toward the setting sun.
History does not record the events of
their journeys and tradition touches
but lightly upon them, but We know
that they journeyed far, that they IN
creased in numbers, that they were
divided and sub-divided into tribes and
families as they journeyed, that they
gathered experience and knowledge as
necessity and nature taught them, and
that, as the centuries passed, they sub
dued their nomadic habits built them
selves permanent homes and each de-
veloped a high degree Of civilization
The family that jouTneyed westward
crossed from Asia into Europe. and
eventually peopled that entire cOntin-
ent. Different branches Of the family
| developed different traits. discovered
different arts. and invented different
| appliances. al of which were passed
from one to the other and the sum OF
| which constituted the civilization OF
! the West

The school hall of Mills Institute
held a very interesting gathering last
evening. The Young Mems Literary
Society, composed of Chinese students,
was responsible for novel program.
The Chinese of the Institute, CARRIED in
can almost in everything from their
manners to their English, presented a
strange contrast to the relatives who
were in attendance as many of the lat
ter, including the students mothers and
small sisters, were dressed in the flow
cry robes of the Orient, with their hair
combed straight and held by the little
ornaments which are so dear to Chi
nese woman. Perhaps the old fellow
sitting at one side, a pure Chinese,
who wore rough clothing and above all
a long queue, was the father of that
bright looking little fellow who sang
in the glee club; the boy wore neat
American clothes and sang and spoke
with a pure English accent. At any
rate there were some peculiar COM
binations present but these only added
to the novelty of the evenings enter
tainment. The hall was crowded,
among the audience being a large num-
Der of well known local people who
were ushered to their seats by obliging
Chinese students.
Foo Yau, chaplain of the society, de-
1ivered the opening prayer, which was
followed by an address of welcome by
Tai Sun, the presiding officer, a bust
ness-like young Chinese who probably
knows more of English than he does
of his native tongue. Master En- Sue

Such is the story Of the only woman
bandit ever known in the state of old
sirginia. Nellie Prescott WAS the
daughter of job Prescott, Who lived at
the foot Of Bald Top mountain. Her
parents We're very poor, and in order
to secure food and clothing for them
she had resorted TO highway robbery
Living at home, she could easily in
male attire hold up wayfarers in the
neighborhood, changing her appear
ance occasionally by Il beard or other
devices and when the deed was done
slip home and appear again as a girl
AS Nellie Prescott lay on the ground
her pretty upturned face was recog-
| nized by others-her neighbors-who
kame up to see the dead highwayman.
A consultation was held, and it was
decided to withhold the facts from her
parents. The coroner held an inquest,
after which he directed that the body
be buried on the side of the mountain
where the many robberies had been
committed
But what reason was given why
their Nellie never returned to them?
We're they permitted to wait and
watch for her or We're they told that
she had met death in an ordinary man
ner? Of this the record does not speak

Early in the spring of 1853 cattle
buyer when crossing the Bald Top
mountain on horseback saw walking
before him Il young fellow who drag
Ged himself along as though tired.
Catching up with him, the cattle buyer
spoke to him.

"Deering," replied a c3ft. boytrh
voice, and a smooth faced boy looked
up.
'Whar did yo come from?
"Linwood.'
That's quite ways Reckon | kin
help yo' spell. Git up behind ne"
The boy sprang up, placed his arms
around the trader, and the two logged
on, chatting pleasantly. Suddenly,
while passing lonely place, a narrow
detile in the mountain, the trader felt
something against his head that as
tonishcd hinl-the cold muzzle of a pis-
tol. At the same time the boy behind
him called in as commanding Il voice
as he could assume:

The trader, hearing a click. did not
dare disobey. lie took $500 he had in
his pocket and handed it to the boy.

Handing the trader the money, the

the trader went on to Iuntley, where,
finding sheriff, he reported the rob-

Three weeks later a peddler was held
up and robbed near the place where
the trader had lost his money. The
robber was small, youthful looking

From that time robberies were fire.
quent in that region, and it was sus-
pected that gang of highwaymen
We're secreted in the mountains, the
different members of which made
journeys alone and committed the rob-
berries. But the fact that they were
committed in the same locality finally
led to the belief that they were per-
petrated by one person in different dis
guises. A deputy sheriff was sent out
to patrol the mountains, but never
found person answering to the de-
scription Of any of those given of the
desperate. Then reward of $500 was
offered
This was enough money to induce
Gabe Jimison and AL Wheaton o
spend all their time in hunting for the
robber. They lived in the locality
where the robberies had been commit
ted and were familiar with the roads
and trails by which the robber might
