CHINESE SOLDIERS DID WE'LL
An EngIshman's Testimony, Showing
How Brave Thcy Are.

When Great Britain took Wei-HAi-
Wei on the coast Of China, she pur-
sued her usual policy and organized
company Of native soldiers, with
British officers in command, says
Mary Porter Gamewell, in The Chau-
tauquan. When the allies met the
Chinese imperisl army in hard-fought
battles around Tientsin and finally
stormed and took the city in the sum-
mer Of 1900, preparatory to the
march on Peking, the Chinese troops,
Differed by British gentlemen, fought
shoulder to shoulder with the Brit
ish.
The fight over, one day some one
talking carelessly made the usual
claim that the Chinese are towards,
whereupon an officer, who had led
that valiant band of British-uniform-
ed Chinese spoke for his men with
all the ardor of British love of fair
play. He said:
Il hold that when men follow their
leaders up a bullet-swept street. and
right over the very barricades from
which the bullets are pouring, they
are no towards; and that is what our
Chinese troops in British uniform

No other female medicine in the

The needless suffering of women from
diseases peculiar to their sex is terrible

Mrs. Martha Pohlman
Of So Chester Avenue,

Railway. Charges of bribery were
made against Sharp. who was convicted
and went to prison, and against De
Lacey.

in 1885 De Lacey and several of his
fellow Aldermen fed to Canada and
for four years lived in Montreal.
Finally they returned, gave bail in
$4,000 each and were never tried De
Lacey was nearly 70 years old and for
years had been IN feeble health He
lived alone with his wife, who had
stuck to her husband through all his
life and was the only one with him
when he died. She was practically the
only one at the service over his BODY.
In efforts. to keep his identity a secret

II don't know anything about it,"
retorted Mrs. Stenton.
Did you do it?" asked Cardoza,
shaking his finger in her face.
No" she shrieked. Why don't you
kill me instead of asking me all these
questions
These outbursts on the part of the
witness came at the end of two hours
of vigorous REORGANIZATION. She
had answered every question without
hesitation, but threw very little new
light upon the case.

MALE TEACHERS
GETTING SCARCE

Only Four Men Receive
Diplomas at Recent

SPECIAL prspArcH TO THE CALL.

SAN JOSE, June 23.-With one single
exception the class which went out
from the San Jose State Normal School
on June 21 was the largest that has
ever graduated from a normal school
In this State. The exception was three
years ago, when there was the same
number of young people in the class.
OF the III newly made teachers who
left the school this year but four were
young men. This Is probably the small
est number of male graduates the in
stitution has ever turned out in one
year, The proportion of male students
In the institution is also smaller than
it was several years ago During the
past year but thirteen young men were
enrolled.
President Daley states that athe at
tendance of young men has been grad
ually, though rather slowly. growing
smaller for some years. Men who are
preparing for the teaching profession
as a general thing attend the univer
sity rather than the normal school and
ht themselves for high school or col
lege work. Positions in the grammar
grades are, with the exception of prin-
coming more and more into
the hands OF woman teachers.

DOCS STOMACH REBELS.
Experiments show Injurious Effects of
Meat Preseryatiyes.

TOPEKA Kans.. June 23-That even
the stomach OF dog rebels when fed
on meats preserved with benzoi and
boraX was demonstrated yesterday by
DR.. j. c. Crumbine. secretary of the
State Board of Health, in an address
before the county and city health of
ficers of the State.
DR., Crumbine told of experiments he
had made on dogs, and with the re-
suits as his text he urged that the
State Board of Health limit the use of
preservatives to foodstuffs that are to
be shipped long distances during the
summer months.
DR.. Crumbine said that on May l he
took three dogs of the same age Every
morning he fed each one-half pint of
fresh lean meat, at noon each pint of
milk and at night each dog had an
other half pint of the meat. The meat
was fresh, without homes. and was not
scraps. The food for one dog was
treated with a one per cent solution
of benzoil, for the second a one per
cent solution of borax was used; the
third dog was fed untreated milk and
meat
Within two weeks the benzoate dog
became cross and refused to have any
thing to do with the others. 1t lost
its appetite and in six weeks had gained
only three pounds in weight. The borax
dog did not become cross, but within
ten days it's general health declined
and il refused the borated milk. In
four weeks 1t had to be coaxed to eat
meat. The dog gained one pound in
weight in six weeks. but became list
less.
The dog that had been fed untreated
meat gained in weight an average of
one pound week during the test and
at no time did 1t become listless or lose
it's appetite.
