gifted native writers have used their
pens and their influence against it.
Societies, both Christian and non-re-
ligious, nave discouraged the custom.
Missionaries have exerted their every
effort, but to no avail, seemingly.
Arthur H. Smith, D. D., in his book,
"Village Life in China" that is a
veritable series of pictures, wrote: 1T
is well known that the greatest en-
peror who ever sat upon the throne of
China dared not risk his authority in
an attempt to put down this custom,
although his father had successfully
imposed upon the Chinese race the
wearing of the queue as a badge of
subsection.
"A quarter of a millennium of Tar
tar rule seems to have done absolute
ly nothing toward modifying the prae-
tice of foot binding in favor of the
more rational practice of the govern
ing race, except to limited extent in
the capital itself. But a few Ii away
from Peking the old habits hold their
iron sway. The only impulse toward
reform of this useless and cruel Gus
tom originated with foreigners In
China, and was long in making itself
felt, which it is now, especially in the
central part of the empire, beginning
to be-"
The practice of binding the feet of
Chinese girls is one of the first things
that foreigners learn about China. The
fact that American girls bind" their
waists is. one of the first things that
Chinese girls hear about us. But one
of the strongest traits of Chinese char
acter is illustrated by this one custom
that narrows the life and usefulness of
a person. 1t is the innate readiness TO
endure and even infiict great pain and
prolonged torture in maintaining a
custom, even one that has no other
significance than personal appearance.

er ways and badly battered about the
head"

Hook of Holland, Feb. 23.-By dint
of noble courage and dogged perse-
verance, which could not have been
exceeded by any men in the world,
the Dutch lifeboat men and tugmen
saved three women and eight men
from the wreck of the Berlin this af-
ternoon. The rescuers worked for
nearly thirty-six hours in furious seas,
smothering snowstorms and intense
cold They were repeatedly baffled by
waves which threatened to smash
their small boats like cups against
the pier or wreck. They returned
again and again whenever a change
in the tide or a temporary abatement
in the ferocity Of the gale caused a
revival of hope, however slight, that
they might reach the castaways.

Serious loss of life in race riot was
narrowly averted on a Southern Railway
train at Rspidsn Sunday night, when
crowd of unruly negroes attacked the
conductor and ststionmsster, several OF
them being wounded in the ensuing
fight. The negroes insisted upon enter
iug the car reserved for the use OF white
people, ignoring the 'jim crow" law.
The conductor demonstrated with them
several times, and finally decided that
it would be necessary to put them of
the train. This he fuslly succeeded in
doing, with the assistance OF the train
crew.
As soon as the negroes were put OIL
the train they began throwing sticks and
stones at the trainmeD, in several in
stances striking and iDjuring white aad
colored passengers.
As the train moved off they attacked
the station agent, who had hurried to
the assistance OF the conductor and his
subordinates, and in the fight that fol-
lowed one of the negroes was struck IL
the leg by bullet. Several others wer'
subdued by the use of baseball bats anC
clubs.

that Coe will be prosecuted for violat-

alleged violations of which by others
he was at the time supposed to be in

1t appears that Coe and another pro-
tector were assigned to Essex and
Hamilton counties near the close of
the deer season for the purpose of
getting evidence against hunters
bounding deer with dogs. Commis-
sioner Whipple says he has evidence
that while thus engaged Coe shot a
deer while it was being driven by a
hound and that he took the carcass
