DOCTOR ,l IN TROUBLE
OPERATION BY CHINESE PHYsi-
CLAN NoTIA SUCCESS. =
Eagerness to Rival His European Con.
freres Almost Brought Grave Disas-
ter-Authorities Thought Him Unfit
for Liberty. i ~ ~

A report received from DR.. Ernest
&. Vanderburgh, medical missionary
at Siangtan, Human, China. affords an
interesting comparison of Chinese and
American surgical methods. DR.. Van.
derburgh has charge of two dispense
ries and hospital maintained by the
Presbyterian Board of Foreign Mis-
sions at the Chinese city named. The
dispensaries are in different parts OF
the city, and as the doctor was leaving
one to go to the other he was called
to come quickly and help Chinese
doctor.
''This Chinese DOCTOR" writes DR..
Vanderburgh, had heard of the opera
lions performed in the Presbyterian
hospital and he thought that he must
do some operations to make his name
great, and not let the foreign devil
doctor get all his patients away from
him. So when big strapping fellow
of about 81 years came along and
wanted him to remove tumOr from
his knee the doctor looked 1t over,
sharpened his knife and cut we'll into
the supposed tumor. Then the poor
doctors troubles began. He couldn' t
stop the blood, got scared and sent
for me. AS it happened was near by.
When I came near enough. to see the
patient he was sitting on a bench,
held up by some friends and two
Chinese doctors were using raw silk
and powder trying to stop the blood
II told them to put the man in a
chair and carry him to the hospital,
at the same time sending for Mr..
Locke to give the chloroform. We
operated, sewed him up and soon saw
him safe in bed and doing WE'LL.
I'm the meantime word came that
the poor Chinese doctor had been put
in prison. We all thought that that
was hard, and I sent over my card and
asked that he be released, now that
that man operated upon was out OF
danger. The official sent back word
that man like that should not be at
large, but that he would send him out
of prison with a soldier to watch him.
So he was watched for two or three
days. They now tell me that if the
man had died the Chinese doctor might
have been severely punished or even
killed for it."

Length OF Wall Paper Rolls.

"Most persons have an idea that
all pieces of wall paper are necessar-
lily of one length" remarked wall
paper man.
''Sometimes when I receive orders
from a distance [ wonder just what
the patron is figuring on. He may get
enough to paper two rooms and he
may get only half enough-some fig
ure over economically and some
over generously.
"Our domestic papers run eight
yards to the piece. Those from
France and Germany measure nine
yards, while the English make their
rolls so lengthy that they contain
quite twelve yards. Then, of course.
there's the repeat. On some of the
new papers with the smallest figures
this is next to nothing, and on some
others, notably that long tailed bird
pattern, if a bit over the figure is
required for each length it means a
loss of five feet on every strip put on
the WALL Philadelphia Record.

1t is asserted that the scarcity of
skilled labor at Fall River, Mass, cot
ton mills is greater than at any previ.
Gus time in twenty years. Operatives
have gone to Canada to work on farms
to the South, and even to England
Here we have another instance of the
shiftlessness and unreliability of the
white laborer, added to the many
which have gone before. The trans
rortation agents should take the mat
ter in hand. Their literature prepared
for the Southern case can by the sub
stitution of few words, be admirably
adapted for application in Massachu-
sets.

SOME SOCIAL EQUALITY"

A most fragrant example of social
equality was recently shown in Mon
rovia, the capital of Liberia, which
we relate for the delectation of our
Southern brethren. The Liberian
journal from which we quote makes
the following statement:
AT 2 ?. m. on Thursday, in response
to Invitations from His Excelency Ern-
est Lyon. American Minister Resident
and Consul General, near this Court
and Mrs. Lyon. the following distin-
Euished persons were present at the
Legation. The occasion was Diplo-
matte Function in honor of His Excel
lency Edward Wilmot Blyden, LII. D.,
recently accredited Envoy Extraordi-
nary and Minister Plenipotentiary to
the French republic by the President
of Liberia" ...

the Guest of Honor was the Liberian

~ &. sz Into the Millions. 81.
How many millions Of pounds worth
of property lies unclaimed to-day in
the form Of shares, dividends, depos-
its of money, plate and jewels in. the
hands of bankers, companies, solici.
tors, auctioneers and others? -
raised yesterday by the writer's OF a
letter. who urge the Chancellor of the
Excheuuer to lay hands upon the spoil
and devote it 10 the increase OF ma
tional revenues s%'. Il.
Unclaimed wealth in the hands of
the crown and funds in chancery
amount to more than G50,0O0,0OO. Is
it possible that the funds in private
hands amount to an equally large
sum?
Some of the examples Of hidden
wealth given by the writer's OF the
letter suggest that the amount must
at any rate be a large one. 1t is not,
apparently, the custom OF companies
to search very far for the owners OF
unclaimed dividends. Occasionally
the chairman Of a company refers to
unclaimed amounts. In the case OF a
building society the chairman an
nounced at the annual meeting that
certain unclaimed money had been
utilized to form reserve fund.
"In ifty-fve years." explained the
secretary of this society yesterday,
I'VE have accumulated $4,000 OF un-
claimed deposits At any time we
are liable to be asked to refund this
and should do so with interest. -

SATURDAY OCTOBER 7, 1905.
SAY, REV. THOMAS DIXON JR.

You are biting off more than you
chew. when you undertake to manage
lO,00O,O00 Afro-Americans, many Of
whom have more sense than you and
surpass you in education and refine
ment. You ought to read the joke on
the Kaiser told by the Marquise de
Fontenoy. which is as follows:
Emperor William, when at T;angier
last spring, was so much struck by the
stature of a Moor of altogether colos-
sal proportions that he engaged him
on the spot to serve in his first regi-
ment of foot guards at Potsdam. The
man was brought to Berlin and was as
signed to the band. On state occa-
sions it was his duty to bear the So
called "schellenbaum," which cOnsti-
tutes a feature of certain of the more
ancient German regiments, consisting
of species of Moslem standard, sur
mounted by a crescent, and from the
numerous silver branches of which
small horse tails and silver balls are
suspended At ordinary times he was
intrusted with the cymbals.
He has evidently found it impossible
to accustom himself to Prussian ideas
OF military dlSc1pllne. or the oIhei
day he half killed the band master
by smashing him about the head with
his cymbals Had he been a German
subject he would have been brought
before a court martial and either con
demned to death or else sentenced
to almost lifelong penal seritude. But
in view of his being Moor the kai'
ser decided that he should be merely
shipped back with all possible eXpedi-
ton to his native land.
Now if some irate Afro-American
should take notion to smash you
over the head with a pair of cymbals
it will be merely plain assault and
battery, with oXtenuating Circumstan
ces in great abundance.

CreditabIe.

This story is told by a resident OF
MARYLAND, who vouches for it's genu
ineneSs:
During the last session OF Congress
two young ladies endeavored to gain
access to the Senate gallery. The
equity old doorkeepr told them that
every seat was filled and the only
chance was to see some Senator they
knew and get a card which would ad
nit them to the private gallery.
But we don't know single Sena'

dies. ..o

ladies. Walk right in. 1t is not often

"Yankee Doodle" an Irish Jiq.

Mr.. w. H. Grattan Flood writes:
Will you allow me to point out to
YOU that the tune of yankee Doodle
is an old Irish Jig of the early eight
zenith century, we'll known in Ireland
still as Cali the Way to Galway"
Your statement that it was composed
by DR.. Schuckburgh is a slip. You
probably meant that he wrote the
doggerel words, which is generally
admitted, but he merely adapted his
verses to the Irish Jig, which was
printed as yankee Doodle" in 1882,
and was subsequently introduced by
Arnold into his 1.-TWO to One" LON
don Truth.

r. Among the guests were Emanuel
Baret, vice consul of France. and Hon.
Wilmot E. Dennis, Belgian consul. In
order that our readers may fully grasp
the significance of the event we make
the following explanation: Dr. Blyden
is very black man, but is one of the
finest Arabic scholars in the world. The
distinguished guests present many of
whom we're Caucasians mingled and
commingled without the least idea that
they were doing anything improper.
But what howl such an event would
have brought forth in our own South.
