AS We Appear to Chinese

The following was written by u
Chimes to his friend after spending
several months in America observ-
ing the manners and customs OF
the people:
You cannot civilize these foreign
devils. They are beyond redemp-
tiou. They will live for weeks
and months without touching a
mouthful of rice, but they eat the
flesh of sheen ann bullocks in
enormous quantities. That is why
they smell like sheep themselves.
Every day they take a bath to rid
themselves of their disagreeable
odors, but they do not succeed
Nor do they eat their meat cooked
in small pieces. 1t is carried into
the room in large chuncks often
half raw and they cut and slash
and tear it apart. They eat with
knives and prougs. 1t makes Il
civilized person perfectly nervous.
One fancied himself in the pres
ence of sword swallowers. They
even sit down at the same table
with women and the latter are serv-
ed first, reversing the order of ma.
ture. Yet the women are to be
pittied too. On festive occasions
they are dragged around the room
to the accompaniment of the most
awful music.

A MIsER's BIG FORTUNE.
rhs Strange Case of Ben iladieN
of Near Boston.

PosToN. Dec. lG. Benz Had
ley, who boasted that he had never
spent more than 81 for car fare
during the 80 years of his life,
died today in his home in Somer
vile, suburb of Boston, leaving
an estate valued at 81, 800, 900.
Hadley never attended Il theatre,
circus or any amusement. He
never ate a meal in hotel or res
taurant. He had not been in a
barber shop IN the last 10 years,
and for 60 years had let his whisk-
ers, grow to save the time 1t would
have taken to sh I'VE himself. lie
never bought u drink of liquor, al
though he would take one if some
body gave it to him and he had a
cold. Twenty years ago he cut
of the luxury of smoking, and
thus saved ten cents a week. lie
never married, and only wore Il
collar and necktie on special oc-
casions. Neither had he voted in
10 years, nor ever had his life in
sured.
Born IN hut in East Somer-
vile, Hadley began work on a
farm at the age of II for II cents
day. 1t is said that none of the
cents ever got away. Next he
worked for the Boston & Lowell
railroad, driving an OK team for
IS a month and board. 1t is re-
lated that the board consisted of
salt Goldfish and water. But that
was rich enough for young Had
ley, and by sleeping in a barn and
otherwise exercising his New
England thrift he managed not to
allow any of his increased wages
to escape.
Hadley owned real estate valued
at more than $1,000, 600 located IN
SomervilIe, Boston, Everett, Med
ford, Woburn, Quincy, Newton,
Walden, Winchester, Slugus,
Wilmington and Providence. His
stocks, bonds, mortgages and cash
aggregation about $500,000.

Free After ~ Years.

Forty-seven years a convict and
now a free man, Frank Hoffman,
in years of service the oldest pris-
oner in New York state, is afraid
to leave Sing Sing prison and go
to New \ ork city, where he fears
he may be run over or lost. Hoff-
man has heard of elevated railroads
and subways and of the new and
strange things to be found in New
York, and the thought of it all
frightened him so that he begged
to remain in prison until next
week, when keeper will accom-
pany HIM. Hoffman was convict
ed of murder in the second degree
AZ years ago.
81 have heard of the trains that
run up IN the air." said Hoffman,
''and of those that run under the
ground, but don't quite under
stand it. I'm safe on a horse and
wagon. Yes, am scared. Inev-
er was so nervous and frightened
as | have been since | learned that
] can go free. "

struggle that followed it was dis
charged. There were four shots but
only one Of them took effect. The

When the wounded man was remov-

Of the end, When asked the cause of
the trouble, he said that it was all
caused by man named Arms. Time

greatest grief that bis wife should
have ruined her life by the tragedy
and uttered prayers for her welfare.
Never once did the man seem to
think Of himself or his condition.
There was nothing to indicate that
he was or had been intoxicated and
at the autopsy which was conducted
later in the afternoon no traces Of
alcohol were found by the physicians.
