if they are not over successful in
doing il, it is none of our business,
any more than it is the concern of

Chinese Nomenclature.

A few definitions of Chinese
geographical prehXes and suffixes
may be of service in Calculating
the nomenclature Of current wal
news. First, prefxes: Ia, as il
Taku, means great, and SiaO, as
in Siao-Ping-Tho means small
Pei, or Pc, Nan. Tung and ST are
respectively north, south, east and
west. Thus the Peo-HO is the
North river, etc. Shang and Hal
are upper and lower. Pal, Hei
and Whang are white, black and
yellow. Sufixes are more nu-
merouse and familiar. Kiang
Ho, Tchuan, Ula, Muren and
Tchu each and all mean river.
Thus Yalu Kiang and Lao He
are simply Yalu river and Lac
river. Shut. Kou, Thsuar, Xii
Col and Ussu are unfamiliar terms
meaning a brook or small river
HUI, Nor and ONO mean lake, as
in the we'll known Lob Nor and
Kosso Col. ! Pc, Use and Tier
mean a small lake or swamp, or a
town situated near such a place
Hal, means sea; thus Wang Hal
the Yellow sea, Tung Hal is the
Eastern sea, Tao, and sometimes
Shan, means island, but Shan
more often means a mountain
range. Ling is pass over a
mountain range.

HIS NEGRO POLICY.
Close Friend Says Roosevelt Never
Favored Social Equality-Was Mis-.
understood.

Washington, Nov. 15.-A close
friend of President Roosevelt to-
day made the following statement
relative to the future policy of the
President on the negro question:
President Roosevelt's policy
toward the negro question will not
be different in the future from
what it has been in the past. He
IS distinctly in favor of according
the negro equal rights with the
whites in the matter of education
and in seeking and holding en-
ployment. He believes IN recognize
ing good work on the part of each.
One point of his policy has always
been misunderstood, or at least
mlslnterpreted.
President Roosevelt never did
favor social equality for the negro,
and he believes that any man who
raises the question of social equality
is an enemy of the black race"

Nearly all sociologists ant
photographers agree in the as
sertion that Jews, even those
living in the crowded and otter
filthy ''gaettoes" Of London, New
York, and Chicago, enjoy a com
parative immunity from tuber-
culosis. For example, Billings.
in the statistics prepared for bui-
letin 10, OF the census Of 1900
gives the death rate from tuber-
1l'losis among Jews as only p
per 100000 living, although the
rate for the entire country was
1855 per 100000. For the six
years ending May 81, 1900, Bill
ings records an annual death rate
from tuberculosis in New York
city Of only 76.72 per 100000
living among the Hebrew popula-
ton, while that among the Irish
reached the enormous figures OF
645.73. Fishberg, in a compar
ative study of the mortality
statistics in different parts Of the
~ity american Medicine, Nevem-
Der ?, I9oI) shows that the an
nual mortality from tuberculosis
during the three years from 1897
to 1899 was, in the wards inhab-
tied chiefly by Hebrews, at the
rate OF I63 per 100000 living,
while in a ward inhabited chiefly
by Irish and Italians the death
rate from tuberculosis was sos per
100000.

COMELY GIRL A HORSE THIEF.
Says She Can't Resist Temptation to Take
Fine Animals.

Louisville, Nov. 15.-MiSS Edith
Londerback, an unusually pretty
girls IS years of age, pleaded guilty
to the charge of horsestealing, and
was sent by Judge Pryor to the
School of Reform until she attains
her majority. 1t was with the adj
mission that she always possessed
an uncomfortable desire to own a
fine horse and buggy, and had for
years been fighting against the in
clination to appropriate one where.
ever she found it, that she made
the plea.
Twice she has found it impossi-
bic to resist the temptation and
both times she fell into the hands
of the law. Upon the first occasion
she escaped a penalty. Before
making her plea of guilty the girl
had explained to her friends that
she wanted to be put some place
where she would not be tempted
with the sight of goodlooking
horsefesh and well-kept vehicles.
BY spending several years in the
School of Reform she hopes to out
grow the mania.

PAID BILL FIFTY YEARS OLD.
Bought Supplies In 1857, Returned and
Found His Creditor Still in Business.

Manor, Texas, November IS
During 1857 Major ]. w. Brown
of this place conducted a general
merchandise store at Webberville,
near this place. A few days since
a gentleman about so years old
alighted from the eaStbound train
and asked the way to Major
Browns house. Arriving there, he
inquired of him if he owned a store
at Webberville during 1857. On
being told yes, he introduced
himself and said: I taught school
during that year and bought some
goods from you for which l have
never paid; the amount Is some
thing between $50 and $40, and l
now wish to pay it." Major Brown
expressed a desire to let bygones
be bygones, but the stranger re-
fused and insisted that he be al
lowed to pay the debt. The major
hauled down some old ledgers from
his attic and found that a party of
the same'name of the stranger had
gotten some goods in 1887, amount
ing to $3.50 and that the account
was still due. The gentleman
promptly gave his check for the
amount and, after leaving his adj
dress with the request that he be
advised if any more was found
against him, left or the evening
train.
