SOLDIERS AID PASTOR.
Threats Following His War on Sa-
loons-Suburbs Excited.

CHICAGO. HI, Nov. 20.-Preceded by
"a detail of soldiers under the command
of Lieut. Hackett of Fort Sheridan, ac-
,companied on either side by a burly po-
liceman, followed Ivy Police Marshal
Golden of Highwood with two members
of the local force and many friendly
members of his congregation, Rev.
George Edwin Parisoe, pastor of the
Methodist church at EighWoOd, was es-
cOrted after services in his church last
night to the interurban station, where he
was placed safely on n car for Evanston.
On the journey he was accompanied by
the two Highland Park policemen.
The line of march to the station was
hedged with men and boys. who watched
the parade go by with sullen murmurs.
On one side glowed the subdued lights
of the saloons Rev. Mr.. Parisoe has been
endeavoring to CLOSE, while from within
could be heard the boisterous laughter of
those engaged in drinking.
The demonstration had been made nee
,essary by the various threats that had
been made on Rev. Mr.. Parisoe's life.
While Mr.. Parisoe has been partially
successful in his efforts at HighwOOd,
the citizens of Waukegan have been
startled by the announcement that nine
new saloons are to be opened on Market
street, all within one block of each other.
This announcement is supplemented by
the declaration of Mayor William ).
Bullock of that place that more territory
will be opened to saloons within the next
month by the city council.
North Chicago has also been electrified
by the statement that more saloons are
to be built at that place at once, all for
the purpose of competing for the buSl-
ness that it is declared Highwood has
lost through the campaign made by ME-
parsoe.

Microbes Shaken from Kerchiefs.

Shaken from their perches on dainty
lace handkerchiefs by the "Chautauqua
salute" pestiferous microbes have float
ed about the Woman's Christian Tenn
perance union convention hall at Los
Angeles seeking victims to such an ex-
tent that nearly every delegate has a.
cold. and as result the famous hand
kerchief salute must go.
This was decided on at the last ses-
sion. The waving of thousands of hand
kerchiefs in concert was blamed for the
release of whole regiments of disease
germs, and every delegate was certain
that the germs came from the handker-
chiefs Of tire other women. Consequent
ly when some one suggested that little
American flags be waved instead OF the
handkerchiefs all readily agreed, and
henceforward the w. @. II. U. will ex-
press applause with the flags.
Among the delegates are several ply
sicians. and they are believed to have
started the agitation. They declare that
in no other way could the colds have
spread to such an extent in the much
Wanted California climate.

surrounded the Emperor's palace with
troops, virtually made him prisoner,

The appointment of a Japanese admins
traitor TO govern Korea under the emperor.
The appointment of Japanese administra-
tors at all treaty ports.
The transfer of Korean diplomatic affairs
to Toxic.
No arrangements to be made with other
powers without the consent of Japan.
Minister Pakchisun. in leading the op-
position. adjured the Emperor with the
most powerful argument possible to
superstitiOus benighted Sovereign-name
ly: That his consent would affront and
outrage all the spirits of his imperial
ancestors.
The Emperor then ordered that the
ministers who consented to the japanese
demands be assassinated. After the sig
natures and seals were attached the
japanese military paraded through the
city.

gifts to the court it is reported that sub
stantial sums of money We're used for
the purpose of satisfying the ministers
who consented to the japanese demands.
