SAID GOOD WORD
FOR CHINAMEN
Poultney BigsIow Spoke Again
at Brown University.
SPOKE OF SENATE COMMITTEE
Lecturer Referred TO Himself as Having
Been Left Beneath a Manure Heap
Of Official Garbage"

Poultney Bigelor delivered another lee
ture at Brown University last night.
THE Spread OF the Mongolian, Today
and Tomorrow" was his subject. Before
commencing his lecture Mr.. Bigelow al
luded to his treatment at the hands Of
the senate committee on inter-oceanic
canals. saying he had been left as be-
meath "a manure heap OF official gar
bage.'
Mr.. Bigelow spoke in part as follows:
Tropical races are 10 play an import
ant part in affairs in the next 10 years.
particularly at Panama The essence OF
the Chinaman is loyalty TO his family; he
doesn't know what II Is 10 be loyal to a
province.
''The Chinese are honest tradesmen as
the result OF this family loyalty. Unjust
government. however, has lowered their
standard OF loyalty TO the state. and the
Chinese have organized against their gov
ernment the most perfect system Of secret
societies in the world.
I'VE hear OF these In San Francisco
as the six Companies But in their home
life. in Singapore. Hong Kong and Can
ton. the Chinese are Industrious, saving,
quiet, slow. patient. and cannot be re-
garded under conditions where they re-
ceive proper treatment as a scourge TO the
world
IF the Chinese in San Francisco lived
under a proper law they would spend
their money where they made IL. and we
would find them useful members OF So
ciety But under the workings OF the ex-
clusion law we get the worst element
here, the element that has been prescribed
In their own country and is railroaded in
by evasion OF the law.
CHINESE ARE PROGRESSIVE
To-day we can regard the Chinese as
progressive. They have their wooden and
cotton mills, build machinery and
through missionary influences are losing
their prejudice against us.
THE economic question at the isthmus
is labor. The efficiency OF coolie labor de-
pends on whether they can do good work
and the system under which they work.
There are negroes from Jamaica there,
and the government, II II chooses can
say that all labor shall come there upon
It's terms. We have right TO treat such
labor at Panama I'm the same manner
that II Is handled under the British sys-
TEN. and the success OF the British EN-
pire in the countries she governs is the
result OF getting the best labor in the
market at the lowest possible rates
I'VE may expect the Chinese at Panama
II we will clear away the back country
and give them healthy conditions. They
could not stand the swamp I'm Colon,
which. / am told, does not exist on the
official map.
There Is a splendid opening there for
the employment OF 10000 Cinnamon, IL
they are controlled by proper conditions.
providing them free passage and trans
portation home after a certain time, reg
ulating their diet and giving them the
care they are entitled to. If the govern
ment will keep men from liquor IN the
canal zone. II will be one or the greatest
blessings on earth"

The Kelly's bridge matter is still one ot

that the suburban people should help bear
the expense OF building a new bridge or

leCtiy sale conulton. one tnlng which
seems unusually strange to local people
Is the fact that the contractors agreed
to put the bridge in safe condition and

were expended in building a breakwater
from the shore outward, leaving sufficient
space between such new breakwater and
the westerly breakwater to be used as
western entrance to the harbor.
II is the opinion OF some that a channel
sufficiently deep could be maintained
here more easily than nearer the shore.
The resolution was introduced TO obtain
the official opinion OF the war department
on the subject. 1t was referred TO the
committee on commerce.

current and deposits OF sand have so

IN
But LITTLE FROST.
There has been but little frost in the
ground this winter and the fog which has
prevailed the last two nights has taken
out good part OF that There are many
places where there Is no frost at all, and
In others the crust of frost is very thin.
Ii Is many years since there has been
a winter as mild as this winter has thus
far been. and as II is at least half gone
the residents are congratulating them
does come It will not last for any pro-
tracted period.
MORE POLICE NEEDED.
Residents are becoming more firm every
day in their conviction that the local
addition OF two more men. one 10 do duty
In the day time and another TO augment
the night force. There are large sections
OF the place which are without police pro-
lection at night simply because II is a
physical impossibility for the present
night force 10 cover so much territory.
Many people get a certain amount OF
protection by keeping dogs. but the dogs
are almost as big a nuisance as possible
robbers. They have not yet been trained
to discern between honest pedestrians and
noctural marauders. and II Is not pleas
ant 10 have them swapping at ones heels
too frequently
The necessity OF keeping dogs TO pro-
tect property is also an injustice TO the
property owner, who besides paying
taxes on his land is obliged TO pay an
extra tax ih- the shape Of a dog license to
secure protection.

although some sets Of golden fox are
effectively worn with gowns Of certain
tints Of yellow.
One OF the pretty little collars Is shown
in figure B. II Is of puffed white cara
Cul, with wide fan-shaped ends edged
with a lace ruffie. These ends are mar
row az the top, fourteen inches wide at
the bottom and faced with white satin.
They are folded, so tina; the fur is the
same upon the upper and under sides.
and are pleated TO the front of the col
lar. which Is further elaborated with
silk tassels. This little neckpiece would
look better upon short neck If made
OF plain fur with narrow front ends.
but in its present shape Il is exquisite.
A very handsome silver fox set is
shown In figure A This has a long,
broad stole trimmed on each side at the
bottom of the fronts with a large tail
tipped with white. On each side the tail
are the legs and claws OF the fox. There
are three skins in the scarf, the center
one with It's natural head and tail.
which droop over the right and left
shoulders. from which hang the other
two skins, and the entire scarf is lined
with black fur. A big. square pillow
muff accompanies this expensive set and
since few desire to "giid the N.Y."
neither muff nor stole are otherwise
trimmed.
