NAY A MERCHANT DO
WORK OF A COOIIE?
Prominent Law Firm Retained by
Chinese Six Companies to Argue
That Question Affirmadvely.

Ow Yung, who was admitted to this
country recently as a merchant, was
arrested yesterday on a charge Of be-
ing unlawfully in the United States
He claimed an interest of $1,000 in a
shrimp establishment, but was found
working as a laborer therein. AS
Ow Yung's status is precisely similar
to that of several thousand Chinese in
this State the Chinese Six Companies
have retained the law firm of Camp
bell, Metson & Campbell to defend the
prisoner before United States Commis-
sioner HeacOck tomorrow.
1t has been held hitherto by the
Chinese Bureau that a merchant who
performs manual labor ceases to be a
merchant, no matter how large may
be his financial interest in the busi-
ness. and must be considered a la
bOrer.

4 SIGN OF THE rIMES.

A sign of the times is the action of the Commercial Travellers League of the United States. which has begun active campaign work to promote the election of Roosevelt and Fairbanks, and has established headquarters at No. 1,265 Broadway, New York. It has also secured lease of No. 5O1 Broad way. where, beginning September II, meetings will be held daily at noon along the same lines followed in 1896 at Broadway and Prince street, and in 1900 at Fourteenth street and Fifth avenue. President John L.. Shepherd of the league says: First of all. the Com mercial Travellers League is a business and not a political association: it is a national, not local body. It's mem bership embraces many men who prior to 1896 voted the Democratic ticket, but who, having lost faith in their party because of it's financial and other here sies, supported Mckinley in 1896 and 1900, and will support Roosevelt in 1904. They do this because they fear disturb led business conditions in the case of Democratic success, and therefore place country above party. and will vote to continue an administration that promfs- es most to continue the era of prosper ity the country has so long enjoyed.
 Of course Democratic success would disturb business, and the Commercial Travellers League doesn't want busi- ness disturbed. Does anybody except hungry Democrats who want offices?

The Passing Show.

Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 The typewriters have clicked out the last of that mighty ream of recommen- .dations. The stars are going to get time to read their lines soon and as they know the plot we shall all drip with intelligence after a few caucuses. Dress rehearsals are to be held at fre- quent intervals so that the mighty pro- duction may be successful at Hartford next winter. The players and their plot may be. understood by some of those hard d-headed old chaps up at the head of navigation. Let us hope the play will not be shunted off the boards as being too ethical.
 It is said that at times reformers who are too moral have been denied white wash and got eggs. We mean at Hart ford, not New Haven. Just think! The critics would deny us the pleasure of using that beautiful word Chief" It will be remembered by some that at our special instance and request, the legis- lature granted us permission to desig- nate the head of our police department by that euphonious and high sounding word Chief" Superintendent indeed

Landport. In the huge rock fortress the coal-store, boiler house and the en- zine room adjoining are worked under compressed air, and are necessarily air tight. The store to which the coal has to be conveyed is hewn out of the solid rock. and is absolutely bomb-proof. A special feature is the arrangement of of the coal plant in such a way that. it does not interfere with the air pressure. The coal is lifted from the coal tip, fifty-seven feet below the horizontal traveller. The skip by which the coal is conveyed is raised by means of a steel wire rope working over pulleys and round a driving drum. The time occupied by the skip in trav- cling from coal tip to coal store is two minutes. At this end. and at a level with the motors. sentry box is hewn out os the rock. where the man who controls the gearing for hoisting the skip is housed, and has practically a full view of all three operations.

GOOD MEN WANTED.

Men, high-minded men. are wanted everywhere, but just now there is most pressing need of them in the Un- ited States navy. Seven large warships now nearing completion at navy yards on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts were to have. been placed in commission by January 15 next, but according to es- inmates just prepared this will be a practical impossibility. More than one hundred officers and over four thousand men are lacking, of the num- Der necessary to man the new additions to the navy. and although it has been decided to place ten warships now in active service out of commission in the near future. even this will still leave 8 shortage of about fifty officers and two thousand mn. At the present time there are approximately thirty thou sand men in the enlisted personnel. A law of Congress fixes the limit of the personnel at thirty-four thousand, but this includes twenty-five hundred ap- prentice boys who, of course, are rather a hindrance than help in manning a ship Of war. The difference between the present force and the maximum limit will be made up as soon as pos sible in order to meet the exigencies of the situation, and the three recruiting parties, which were recalled to Wash ington several weeks ago. following a decision of the Comptroller of the Treasury that officers on recruiting duty cannot be allowed expenses other than mileage. will be sent out again next Wednesday,.
 Perhaps there is no navy in which life goes better than in the United States navy. and if certain theories are correct it may not be long before our navy will have to fight, and what can any man ask better than to be allowed to die for his country in battle on big ship? ..~..

THE CANTON cHRIsTIAN COLLEGE

| (. .a
 There is much talk about spheres of linfluence' in China, and there will probably be more, The sphere of in | ifluence" of the Canton Christian Col 1 llege, work on the buildings of which
 has just been begun, will be worth mo- tice. The trustees of this college are
 New Workers, and large plans for it's usefulness anticipate carrying forward the work on the highest plane of gene lral efficiency, in accordance with ap- proved American ideas. Organized five years ago, the college has been occupy ling temporary quarters, but has se-
 cured a thirty-f1ve acre plat across the
 Pearl, or Yangtse river, from Canton, and the erection of the first of a series of buildings which will conform to the group plan, has been begun. It is
 expected that in it's completed form the college will have facilities for accom-
 modating three thousand students The intention of the promoters is to make this the largest institution in Chi ma devoted to broad educational princi-
 pies, the studies to be conducted in
 English. The college is especially for
 Chinese students, and while it is not strictly missionary college, the reli- gious element is kept prominently in l view. Instruction in the Christian reli-
 zion is given, and is required of all stu dents. This latter provision has kept several Chinese students from attend ing the exercises, but the founders be- lieve the plan is necessary to impart to
 Chinese youth a proper knowledge of what is best in English education.
 There is the regular four years college course, but a great deal or elementary work has to be done. The new college takes account of the many good points in the Chinese system of education, but will seek to demonstrate the practical benefits of education, which are now
 sadly lacking in the Chinese system.

HYPNoTTSM.

A divorce has just been granted in Mobile, Alabama, to woman who as- serted that she was hypnotized by the man she married and didn't know what she was doing when she was led to the altar by him.
 Hypnotized? Some sages say that anybody, man or woman, who gets mar ried is hypnotized. It is true that many who get married come out of the state of mind they were in when they were married and wonder what induced them to do as they did. They act very, much as the "subjectV does when the hypno- tiger removes the spell from him. But there are those who stay ''hypnotized" in marriage and find it all right. They seem, it is true, rather tanned and sub dued, but they look and act much hap pier than those married ones who have emerged from the hypnotic state into which love once threw them. It is a pity that the hypnotisn of love is not more generally lasting. Perhaps by and by there will be Professors who can strengthen and continue 1t when it shows signs of weakening and breaking, Then there will be no such divorce cases as this Mobile one.

Notwithstanding the strong compe- tition of the Tube, as Londoners call their underground railroad the half- yearly meeting of the London Road Car Company. or omnibus line, developed facts which show that the older form of transit is still popular. The number of passengers carried during the first half of the year showed an increase over the number carried the corres- bonding period in the preceding year of 144,531, This is accounted for by the fact that many Londoners still prefer being carried in vehicles in the open air. notwithstanding the collaboration said to be derived from the ozonized air of the Tube. Perhaps a still bet ter explanation is the Englishman's tenacity in holding on to established ways and usage. At any rate the om- nibuses seem to retain their oldtime popularity, and minister to the wants of a constantly growing number of patrons. s. A

At the International Socialist Con- gress in Amsterdam the other day there was a dramatic meeting on the platform between Russian delegate who shook hands with greatest affec- ton, and then made speeches in which both proceeded to condemn their own countries, the Japanese denouncing the war and declaring that Socialists in Japan had been expecting a Socialist revolution there ever since 1896. The Russian said that in beating his coun- try Japan was removing one of the feet of the Colossus of despotism.

The Congregationalist tells a story of young minister in small sea coast town, where eight Congregational pas- tors with their families were spending the summer. The one little church was of another denomination, but all were faithful in attendance upon it's servi- ces. When the young pastor was called away by the critical illness of a rela- tive, one of the visiting clergymen, pas- tor of a prominent Massachusetts church, offered his services for the first Sunday of the regular pastors ab- sence. The effect of the following an- nouncement, made by the young minis- ter to his congregation upon the eight parsons who were included therein, can better be imagined than described: "In my absence, the Rev. Dr. Blank will occupy this pulpit next Sunday. I cannot tell what the outcome will be. hope to be here myself two weeks hence"
