Mourns One Hundred Days.

Another evidence of China's grad
ual emancipation from the chains OF
ancient custom and superstition that
have bound her so long, is found in
the fact that Sir Chentung Lang
Chong, the Chinese minister, will re-
tain his post in spite of the fact that
his mother Is dead. Chinese GUS
tom dictates that the period OF
mourning must be three years, but an
imperial decree has just been re-
ceived which permits Sir LANG
Chong to curtail the term to 100 days
For that period the minister will not
be seen socially or automatically,
and his work will be carried on by
subordinates. Hitherto Chinese Of
ficials to this country who suffered
losses of parents while in office,
were compelled to resign and return
home.

Fear Felt For Treasure Ship
In Heart of Storm.
Washington Continues TO Get News
Of the Great storm That
Swept Gulf.
DETAILS ARE STILL LACKING

Washington, Oct. 2f--The federal
government Is still receiving reports
from the storm-swept district which
Indicate that the loss of life and
property has not been exaggerated.
The most important news received
today was of the fears felt for the
safety OF the treasure laden steam
ship Arablstan. which should have
arrived at San Juan, Porto Rico,
three days ago with 100000 in
gold on board from the Argentine.
She sailed from st. Lucie on October
~ and must have been In the heart
of the great hurricane which swept
the Caribbean Sea. She was due at
San Juan on October 10. No word
has been received from her and the
owners are said TO be decidedly un-
easy.
The Arabistan was in trouble a
year ago. At that time her crew mu-
tinted and the vessel was compelled
TO put into Buenos Ayres. where one
of her officers died from wounds re-
ceived in fight with the mutineers.
Several others had been badly hurt.
Her present cargo of gold is as
signed to European bankers and is
mostly in the shape of bars of pure
metal.
Lack of Details.
There is still lack of details of
loss of life in Florida, but it must
have been large. according to a re-
port received today from the gov
eminent observer at Jupiter, which
was in the storm-swept district. The
report Is as follows:
THE hurricane did no damage in
this vicinity. From Miami south
along the Keys, where hundreds of
men are employed building the Flor
ida East Coast Railroad to Key West.
a large amount of property was ex-
posed to the storm and the high
seas did damage. The telegraph is
not restored and details are unob-
MANY lives are reported lost. Re-
ports say that so laborers on one
and 80 on one passenger
steamboat are known to be lost. Ma
ny men were washed OF the low
keys or drifted to sea In houseboats.
Two vessels, the British steamship
Alton and the American steamship
Captain A. F. Lucas have reported
here having picked up houseboat
crews at sea-"
Reports from American officials in
Cuba now place the number of lives
lost in the recent storm at 40. There

BOY TOO MUCH EeR MAN.
But tho Big Fellow Got Even with
the Crowd.

But tho Big Fellow Got Even with
the Crowd.
The boy was not more than ID years
old, and was short for his age. Yet one
could see from his sharp, weakened
face that he felt as big as a full-grown
man els be sat On the high seat Of an
express wagon on BeekmaR street and
"gteod guard" while the real boss was
absent. Not satisfied with merely look
ing big, ha sought to while away the
waiting time by starting the horse for
a few steps and then backing him into
position again.
During one Of these brief trips = big
truck swung around the corner from
Nassau street. The boy was chen en-
gagged In backing up his more or less
fiery steed and the result was a lock
ing Of wheels with the big truck, the
driver of which was a brawny man
who looked fit to cope with Jeffries.
The locking of wheels on a public thor
oughfare is always the signal for
wordy IL not physical warfare between
drivers, and this was no exception.
The big man sought to crush his juyen-
lie opponent in one verbal torrent, and
he hurled forth a yelley of anathemas
that turned the air blue.
To the surprise of the bystanders, as
soon as the big fellow stopped to take
breath, the little chap returned the
verbal volley with a few choice exple-
tives manufactured for the occasion.
He painted the big man in imaginary
fantastic colors, criticised his driving
ability and recommended few other
professions which he could prOftably
follow, including the peddling of fish.
The big fellow essayed a reply, but
was stopped by the shrill inYectives
of the lad, who subjected his big op-
ponent to a still more unmerciful
analysis. The big truczman flushed
under the combined fire of the lads
words and the laughter of the crowd.
Then, after a dramatic pause, he
wrapped the reins around one of the
uprights, drew off his gloves and faced
the jeering crowd.
"Say," he said, "is there any of
youse ducks who wants to take the
kids part? He's too small fer me to
tackle"
Somehow, all the men in the assem-
bled crowd suddenly remembered that
they had overstayed their luncheon
hour.-New York Press.

BEGGARs GROW WEALTHY.

Successful Mendicants Live Well in
London.
There is not the slightest doubt
that 100000 is given away in London

secretary Of the London Mendicity So
ciety, In his evidence before the va,

He states that once a man begins
to beg he is hopeless and adds that in
seventeen years, during which his So
ciety has dealt with some $4,000 street
beggars, he has only found one deserv-
ing case.
"a successful street beggar can col
lect $1.25 a day, so that allowing him
to rest on Sunday he is capable Of col
lecting $3.50 a week. Much was made
Of the celebrated case last winter of

There is, Of course, singing and

windows or at foot passengers and
without an appeal for aims that is not
begging, but If the singer is constantly

that is begging.

Sir Erie would give the police such
authority that there could not be any

Condemned to Slavery,

Two hundred years ago, when men
and women were condemned to death
for trivial offenses, it was the custom
in Scotland to commute the death SEN
tence into perpetual servitude to speci-
fed masters--in other words, the con-
demned person became q slave. 1t was
further ordained that he should wear
metal collar round his neck recording
his sentence and punishment.

owns one of these collars, fished out Of
the Forth above Alloa. 1t is brass,
