ALWAYS OVER THE HEART.
Policemen as Rule Wear Their
Badges as Shields.

Many persons are puzzled to know
why policemen wear their badges so
low on their coats, instead of on the
flap made for that purpose. AS a mat
ter of fact, the badge or star as he
calls it, of many a policeman is right
next to his heart. Some blue coats
can thank their ''stars" for being
alive. This little metal shield has de-
fiected the bullet of burglar or high
wayman, and at times, too, has stop
ped the knife thrust of would-be assas-
sins. During the last 20 or 80 years
there are many cases on record show
ing that the little badge has been a
life saver. Even bullets fired. at close
range, as a rule, cannot penetrate the
shield. That's why a bluecoat always
feels safer in keeping the star at a
vital spot. When off duty some police
men wear their stars on their vests.
but always directly over the heart
They are SO accustomed to the little
protector that they feel uneasy with
out it.

ALL RELIGIONS IN LONDON.
Faithist Community Latest Addition
to Its Queer Sects.

The Faithist community which has
established a modest footing in Bal
ham, and whose comprehensive gospel
ranges from the creation of man to
the glory and lab0rs of the gods and
goddesses of the Etherian heavens" is
the latest addition to the long list of
London's religious sects, which are
now almost as many as the days of
the year. In London the Chinaman
burns his incense stick in more than
one jOss-hOuse in the east end, the Ma
hOmetan has his mosque, the Malayan
his temple, near st. Georges street
east; the Parsees worship the sun in
Bloomsbury, the MOrmons have a mis-
sion in IslingtOn, and in many parts
of the metropolis the Buddhists and
Ancestor Worshipers perform their
strange rites. Of Christian sects in
London there are at least 300, includ-
ing the Cokelers, the disciples of Will
liam Sirgood, the Walworth shoe
maker; the Peculiar People, who pre-
fer prayer to physicians; the Sande-
manians, the followers of Joanna
Southcott, the prophetic serving
maid; the Shakers and the Seventh
Day Baptists

MADE A TORCH OF PADDY.
Now the Chances Are He Will Garry
His Matches Elsewhere.

Nine-year-old Paddy Monaco says
that the next time he plays hat on the
back with the gang he isn't going to
have his rear pants pocket full of
matches, says the New York Sun.
They play the game strenuOusly in a
lot on TWenty-seyenth street, near
Tenth avenue. The game had pro
crossed to the grab the hat and slap
stage yesterday, and Paddy stood dou-
bled up with his head pointed east
ward and the other end of him direct
ed toward the setting sun. Tommy
Glynn in leaping over Paddy gave him
vigorous Wallop. In twinlling the
west end of Paddy spouted smoke and
he let howl out of him that could
be heard for blocks. The other kids
beat the flames out as best they could
and saved at least the front part Of
Paddy's breeches. Tommy GIynn and
Billy Rooney were more or less badly
burned about the hands, and Paddy
was more severely burned elsewhere.
An ambulance was summoned from
Roosevelt hospital and the surgeons
fixed up the Glynn and Rooney boys
and took Paddy to the hospital for
more thorough treatment. Later Paddy
was sent to his home at 545 West
TWenty-seventh street and ate his sup
per off the mantlepiece.

RACES AT STATE FAIR.
A Splendid List of entries in Speed
Department. 8

The racing events of the Wis
consin State Fair to be held at
Milwaukee from Sept. 8 to Is,
will attract thousands of men and
and women who never cease in
their enthusiasm over the achieve
ments of high-brcd racing horses.
The automobile can never dis
place the horse when it comes to
racing. For many weeks entries
for various big races have been
received and they are of the kind
that indicate records broken. The
Board of Agriculture has appro-
priated total of S27, 500 in priz-
es for the speed department which
is an amount larger than that Of

Ladies' Relay Running Races will
be repeated, five miles being run
each afternoon, the final reward
to be made on Friday, the closing
day of the fair. Then, too, there
will be running races in the eve
ming under the search-light.
These races are spectacular in the
extreme and always attract a large
attendance. In anticipation of
immense crowds the grand stand
has been enlarged and for the ac-
commodation of those who want
them, many boxes have been
erected along the lower level of
the gaand stand, affording an I'M
usual fine view of the race track.
The regular racing programme
will begin Monday afternoon,
Sept. 9, and continue each after
noon, with great big events for
Wednesday, State Day, and for
Thursday, Milwaukee Day.

"BLEsT BE THE TIE"
How the Familiar Old Hymn Came to
Be Written.

Not one in a thousand of those who
sing that good old hymn ''Blest be
the tie that binds knows the history
of its homely origin. According to
the Church Eclectic, it was written
by the Rev. John Fawcett, who in the
latter part of the eighteenth century
was the pastor of a poor little church
in Lockshire, England. His family
and responsibilities were large, his
salary was less than four dollars a
week. In 1872 he felt himself obliged
to accept call to a London church.
His farewell sermon had been preach
ed six wagons loaded with furniture
and books stood by the door. His
congregation, men, women and chill

FaWcett and his wife sat down on a
packing case and cried with the 9th

ooh, John, John, | cannot bear this!
I know not where to gO!" 'Nor [ eth
err" said he; nor will we go. Unload
the wagons and put everything back
in it's old place" His letter Of accep-
lance to the London church was re-
called and he wrote this hymn to COM
memOrate the episode.

horses and mules" was one OF the
statements made by Representative
Mckinley of California before the
house committee on foreign AFFAIRS
which is considering the Perkins Dill
to modify the Chinese exclusion act.
Mr. Mckinley urged that only feW
great companies. which brought such
young Chinese to this country in prac-
tical slavery, would profit by any mod
ificatiOns of the exclusion act, and
said the majority of Californians are
opposed to any tampering with the
present law. He expressed the beiiel
that any changes in the present law
would indicate to the Chinese this
government was weakening in its po-
sition toward the Chinese boycott
against American products in China
and might result in a renewal et the
boycott
The idea that the anti-Japaaese
and anti-Chinese movement is the
work of labor agitators is erroneous,

gy. Kingston is receiving supplies as
far as possible from the island Of Ja-
maica itself. The American warships
in the harbor have put on shore all
the foodstuffs and medical supplies
they could spare, and the Jamaican
authorities have taken charge of the
distribution of all provisions in the
city.
Relief on Big Scale.
In addition, relief is being hurried
from outside quarters. The senate
yesterday passed bill authorizing re-
lief for the stricken island; the people
of the British island of Trinidad have
sent a first installment OF relief: n.
M. S. Indefatigable has left Port OF
Spain, Trinidad, with provisions,
clothing and other supple for the
stricken people, the French govern
ment has started cruiser from the
island of Martinique with supplies for
Kingston; the Mansion House fund in
London is growing rapidly and the
British authorities are perfecting the
details of relief on a large scale. and
in addition various other steamers are
either on their way or about to art
for Kingston with food clothing and
medicines aboard.
Rumor of Tidal Wave.
The report that a tidal wave had
devastated the southern shore of ia
maica had not been confirmed up to a
very late hour. Gable communica-
ton with the island has been partially
retored. but, even SO, messages from
jamaica are coming through very
slowly.
The total estimate of deaths remain
at about 900.
Great relief was afforded last night
to all those who have American
friends in Jamaica by a statement re-
