CUE A BADGE OF SLAVERY.
Chinese Compelled to Wear It by Their
Tartar Conuuerors.

From the Chicago Chronicle
The custom of ST aving the forehead ana
wearing the back hair long and braided In a
cue is now so firmly established in China
as to be quite universal. Yet It has obtained
for something less than 800 years only. and
is of peculiar origin
When the Tartar tribes of the north IN
vaded the flowery kingdom and compieteIy
subdued the inhabitants of the country.
they decreed that all Cinnamon should wear
their hair in this style as "A badge OF seryl-
tude. The rule was so vigorously enforced
that It has become firmly established GUS

life for him In the celestial empire would
be unbearable.
The face of the celestial Is generally clean
shaved. as well as the forehead, mustaches
and boards being permitted only under GER

A mustache indicates that its wearer is a
grandfather, and each other style has It's
own significance. This peculiar style OF
headdress makes the Chinese barber a man
OF considerable Importance, and his strange
methods are interesting. The BARRIERS in the

Democrats Far From Unit oil the Poe

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md. October 1, 1906.
1t is fast becoming apparent that the
democratic party in Montgomery county
Is far from a unit In favor OF the Poe
amendment. 1t Is stated that there Is not
a district in the county in which there are
not a few democrats at least, who are
outspoken In opposition to the measure,
and 1t Is believed that there are many
others who disapprove Of its provisions
and will cast their votes against its adop-
tion.
AT one time 1t looked as If a considerable
number of republican votes would be cast
in favor Of the elimination of the negro
vote. but the great anxiety displayed by
the democratic leaders over this question
has about lined them all up with their
party.
Montgomery county may give small
majority in favor of the amendment. but

know that 1t is extremely doubtful

ACCIDENTS 10 PLAYERS.
Base Ball Men Liable to Injury and

rsHi Tue tHichgu IffbuEe.s
One of the mysteries Of base ball which
no one has been able to explain satisfac-
toriiy is why base ball players are so much
more prone to injury and sickness nova
days than score Of years ago. for in
| stance The problem compels attention this
year because 1t has been a record-breaker
| in the number of players and teams which
have been crippled by accidents and sick
ness There is hardly a major league team
which has not had Its ranks seriously
broken already. and there Is yet time for
| the few which have escaped SO far to get
| into line.
All but the younger generation of patrons
can recall when more than twelve players
on one team was considered the height of
extravagance. and many teams went
| through season with less than dozen
men: Today no major league manager
would expect to win a pennant with less
| than sixteen players and even those clubs
which carry eighteen or more men have
found themselves short-handed in midsea-
son. 1t cannot be the players of today take
greater chances of injury than the old
timers The game Is not enough faster
than it used to be to make all the differ
ence. There are those who contend the
game is not so fast In some respects as it
was twenty years ago. and that the players
take no such chances to win. Without
granting that contention. 1t Is certain the
players of those days were harder lot

| many substitutes encourages players to
give way to injuries and sickness which
formerly would not have necessitated a
rest. Yet many players are too seriously
injured to play even II no substitute was
available. 1t is claimed for the New York

dom from sickness and accident this year
to the services of professional trainer.
But the Cleveland American Club also en-
ploys a professional trainer. and that team
has broken the record this season for being
crippled 1t cannot be that New York's

position on the part of players. managers
