ton DI nature HI SblllttlptIt 1874. Great devastation was wrought In the harbor on that occasion. Several years later it suffered from food. Hongllong is not a part of China, but k a British possession off the coast of China. It is an island and is separated from the mainland by the narrow LXe- nun strait. Its capital and chief town is Victoria, often spoken of as Hong kong. This city is built upon the north side of the island and around the curve of wide bay. The island of Hong kong is about ten miles long by seven broad, and behind the city of Victoria rises Victoria peak which attains an altitude of nearly 2.000 feet.
 Hongkong is the first slice of her em- pire which China gave to outsiders. It was ceded to the English ill 1S42 after the opium war At that time it was mass of barren rocks, the hauntS Of a few fishermen. The importance Of the port of Hongkong became such that in 1898 Great Britain obtained from China lease of 376 square miles of the main land adjoining. This territory, with Hongkong, now forms a British crown colony and naval station.
 One may now take a steam ferry at the docks of Hongkong and land in a few minutes In the English China of the Kowloon peninsula. The English have owned landing place here since 1860. but their territory was greatly en- larged by the lease of 1898, and a set tlement has already arisen on the mainland which has many of the char acteristics of an up to date community. Hongkong itself has a population of about 100000. mostly Chinese. but a large proportion of tue Chinese even are British subjects by right of birth. The colony is governed by officials sent out from England and by minor off cers chosen by the residents of the col ony. The present governor is Sir Matthew Nathan. Being the naval de- pot of Great Britain In the far east it Is the rendezvous for British vessels of war, many of which are usually sta toned in the harbor, while war vessels

Bonfire On A Bald Head.

A barber shop in Lexington avenue,
New York city, was filled with impatient
unshaven customers while Thomas Sher-
man was being ''6xed up" After shave
and facial massage he wanted his mustache
trimmed Finally Sherman ordered hair
tonic-that kind that has to be worked
slowly into the scalp.
While this was being done man whom
Sherman knew struck match to light a
cigar.
"Hold onp' cried Sherman from the
chair ''Hold the light. I want to
smoke!''
His friend brought the match toward
him. 1t touched the alcohol vapor from
the tonic on Sherman incipient bald spot.
The tonic burst into flames.
With horrible yell Sherman jumped
up. BARRIERS and customers fed in panic.
Feeling the abite' of the fire, Sherman
seized the bottle handy and poured part OF
its contents on the flames. 1t was the
hair hair tonic bottle that he picked up.
That only added fuel to the fire.
While the victim was stamping and
writhing barber ran up with wet towel
and put out the fire.

Robbers Break Up A Banquet.

At the chateau belonging TO a great no
Bile cf Bessarabia, Russia, a dinner party
was being held recently, at which several
members of the nobility were present.
Mirth was at its highess when without
warning the outer doors were flung open
and in dashed six masked men armed to
the teeth. Two footmen who attempted
to bar the way were shot down. rhe
guests started to their feet at the sound Of
the reports and had scarcely armed them
selves when the robbers broke in upon
them. So =,
"A sharp fusillade began between the
diners and their assailants. The latter,
however, had the advantage, and soon all
the guests who had not been killed or
wounded were bound and gagged. After
stealing large sum of money and some
valuable jewelry the robbers made off, but
hardly had they had time to mount their
horses before servants arrived and freed
the gagged and bound dinner party.
In less than five minutes the host and
three of his guests and several greoms were
galloping after the robbers. The latter
were soon overtaken, and yielded after fir
ing few shots.

Horse Jumps Into An Auto.

A runaway horse dashed down steep
hill at Mianus, three miles from Stamford,
Conn, leaped into the tonneau of an auto
mobile standing by the roadside and fell
upon Miss Jennie Ray of Greenwich, who
was sitting in the rear seat of the touring
Car and who will probably die from the
injuries she received in the extraordinary
accident.
With Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Dickens,
their three year-old son and her sister,
Bessie, { Miss: Ray was out for pleasure
ride in Dickens automobile, driven by
Chauffeur NJ H. Sammis The auto was
whirliDg along through the darkness to
ward Stamford and had reached the foot
of hill in the heart of the little hamlet of
Mianus when the chauffeur heard great
clatter at the top of the hill and told Mr..
Dickens he thought horse was dashing
down the declivity upon them.
The three women and the boy cried out
with fright as the laundering hoofs sounded
palmer through the darkness. Then like
flash into the glare of light cast by the
headlights foam hecked horse came gal
loping. He was running at top speed in
the middle of the road, with pieces of har-
ness dangling behind him, and he would
have rushed past the automobile in safety,
but, half blinded by the sudden stream of
light, he swerved to the side and with a
giant leap flung himself bodily into the
tonneau of the car.
Miss Ray was upon the side nearest the
road, and she received the full weight of
the maddened horse across her body. For
moment the animal hung upon the ton
neau, while the men shouted and the wo-
men tainted, then fell back into the road
at the side of the automobile dead
A crowd of 200 quickly gathered about
the Car, and DR.. Smith, nearby resident,
carried Miss Ray, unconscious and bleed
ing, from the tonneau. The physician
found her skull had been fractured, her
left arm broken four times and both her
jaw and her shoulder fractured. Her sis
ter, who had tainted four times since the
hoof beats of the runaway were first heard,
was revived after an hour. Though badly
shaken up, she was not seriously injured.
1t was found Mrs. Dickens and the boy
had also escaped with few slight bruises.
The two men in the front seat were badly
frightened, but were not injured in any

Builds Cell in Own House.

A wealthy Italian landowner named
Raimondo Pace was sentenced in default
in 1898 in Foggia to ten years imprison-
ment for numbering servant. Pace could
not be traced, and itewas supposed he had
emigrated.

NOR that Pace was hiding in his own house
in Foggia They raided the place and
found Pace safely locked up in a cell he
had built in the basement of his home,
where servant had served him with bread
and water once daily.
The prisoner declared and the servant
confirmed his statement. that he had not
left his cell for eight years. Heeintended
to complete fhe ten years sentence of i'm
prisonment imposed upon him in his cell
and then petition the king to pardon him.
Unfortunately the law does not recog-
nize self punishment, and Pace must serve
ten years in the State Jail.

soul Marriage not D Success

Mrs Martha w. Hunter, wifeof George
II Hunter. one-time editor Of Smart Set,
Was Granted asdecree of annulment OF her
marriage in the Supreme Court IN New
York recently, by Justice Giegerlch, as
the result of testimony taken before hef-
cree Augustus Van Wyck. During the
five wears of her welded life she had never
been wife. -,
Hunter is now in Europe, whittier ne
went last March, offering no defense to. his
wife novel contention that he had trlcked
her. into marriage in which ne intended
that nothing but platonic friendship should
exist The strange case was hearo Dehind
closed doors, and little of the testimony
was made public. The court upheld the
plea of fraud.
Hunter, according to the papers IN the
case. conceived the idea OF an intellectual
union. in which love was to have no part.
He planned that out of the intellectual
union should grow eminence for both, ne
to realize his ambition of becoming the
greatest man alive, and she to excel all
others in the art and Interpretation OF
music. 1t was as simple as the rule OF
two by two to him, and seemed practical.
But in his wooing he set aside his cold
arithmetical ideas of marriage and sued
with all the ardor of Lothario. The girl
was then 8 years old, educated in Europe
and on the high road to success as con
cert pianist. Though her wooer was 10
years her senior, she was carried away by
his ardor and consented to marry him.
They were welded on May 13, 1901
Mrs. Hunter told Referee Van Wyck
that her husband assumed cold and dis
tant attitude toward her before the peal of
wedding bells was out of her ears. He
informed her of his intention that theirs
should be union Of intellect rather than
of hearts, and that no such dross thing as
sensual love should intervene to mar their
attaining the highest pinnacle of fame.
She complained that he continued to
hold her at distance, abhoring any show
of affection and telling her that to him she
was nothing more than human specimen
in the hands of scientist, ana that he
planned to create wonderful artist of her
through her intellect alone
II begged that we might be blessed with
a child she said. "He poo-pooed the
idea, saying that l was meant for no such
thing, and that he could not live under
such conditions, as children would be a
burden upon him in attaining his ambi-
tion. -
"What did he say about his aims in the
artistic world p was asked of her.
"He always said he was the very great
est man alive No one would ever attain
such brilliance as he, and he wanted a
brilliant partner. .
Mrs. Hunter said that he gave up the
editorship of the Smart Set to start an
artistic trade paper he called the Upholster-
er. Mrs. Hunter complained that he had
failed to provide for her since March last.
