WU TING FANG REAPF0INTED
COMING TO WASHINGTON
One of the Most Popular Diplo- mats Ever Sent Here
 from China.

Picking, Sept. 24.-The reappointment of Wu Ting Fang to his former post as minister of China at Washington was gazetted to-day.
 Wu Ting Fang, who was one of the most popular diplomats ever accredited to Washington, first came to America as a young man, after the completion of his legal studies in England. Re- turning to his own country, he became the confidential friend and legal adviser of Lii Hung Chang, and it was this as- sociation which was in part responsible for MT. Wu's rapid diplomatic advance. He was appointed minister to Wash ington in 1897, serving with unusual distinction until his recall in 1902. Ills sagacity and tact were of special val ue to this country during the Boxer disturbances. After his return to 'Chlnt, Wu Ting Fang was appointed to a subordinate position as second assist ant among the corps of under secre- taries of the Foreign office, It was freely stated at the time that the ex- minister had lost his influence by req son of his progressive policy. He was later promoted to be vice-president of the Board of Commerce, and in this office was said to have been responsible for the boycotting of American goods.
 From his reappointment as minister to this country, it is obvious that the boycott incident has not been permitted to count against the remarkable per sonal and official popularity which the minister established when in this coun- try.

\ QUEER OLD ARTISTS MODEL.

If America has a. real professional artists model at all, one old fellow who is universally popular in the studios is surely it. His talent is not limited to faculty for posing. In fact 1t would be hard to fix upon what is the limit He can do anything from chopping up picture stretchers' for fre- wood to landscape gardening, and if the only available tools are a navy cut lass and palette knife he will endeayor to make just as good a job of 1t with them as if he had a full carpenters kit.
 He will mend anything from a brok- en easel to a broken electric wire, he has been an actor, a carpenter, and a sailor, and now upon occasion com pines all three and "do' poses besides. In summer he Is always to be found at the country place of some one of the illustrators where he poses when he is needed and makes the garden when he is not
 But what is conceded to be his rec ord Is that he actually posed every day for a whole week in the month of August he persevered with the ther- morneter lowering somewhere in the near vicinity of ninety, clad sometimes in a suit of oilskins, than which there is no hotter garment made, except, per- haps, the fur, overaoat, cap, and boots with which the oilskins were alternat- ed, while the artist made pictures of RuSsian sailors in an ice-bOund harbor.
 When a man can do. that and still remain cheerful he is approaching as mar the angelic state as la safe for him to get. He has discounted Job Fron Being a Model" Dy Charles F. Peters in the Bohemian for October.

OH, CITY, SPARE THE PUMPi
One Faithful Hand and Voice Raised
 Against Its Destruction.

Against Its Destruction.
 To Editor The Journal. and Courier:
 T see by the papers" that it is pro- posed to do away with the old town pump on the Green If this is so, l, for one, raise my hand and voice against it. Are we to have no relics of the past left with us? Must everything, despite old associations, however inter esting, historically or otherwise, give way to the march of progress? It Is pathetic enough to see old buildings torn down to make room for modern but one can understand that. But what is to be gained by talk ing away our old town pump?
 The dear old pump, that for so long has generously dispensed cool, re- freshing water to the thirsty multitude. An, if 1t could but defend Itself, or if its waters could speak as they flow, what tales of the past would be told Always doing good, ministering to the faint and weary bringing gladness to untold thousands of parched throats. Always on duty, summer and winter, rain Or shine, night or day Many a man has found pleasure in other drinks of night, but has finally wound up, for the best drink of all, at the old town pump. N
 Apparently there Is no good reason why the old turnp pump should go, any more than there is any reason why the old public sign post should be taken away Both are good, old, substantial, useful pieces of city furniture and are entitled to our love and protection. Let the old town pump remain Why ap- ply to 1t the long since exploded Os- Ter theory2 Let us paraphrase certain we'll known lines and cry out:
 Oh, City, spare that pump!

Absurdity Of War Talk.

War in modern times presupposes
some fundamental dispute or antago-
nism that cannot be dealt with by
diplomacy or arbitration. Further
more, war is usually attended by
deep feeling on both sides. But it so
happens that there does not now ex-
ist, nor has there ever existed, any
cause of war whatsoever between ia
pan and the United States. Nor is
there any warlike feeling in this
country against Japan. On the part
of the public men and influential
people Of Japan, furthermore, there
is no warlike feeling toward the Uni
ted States. Neither is there any
question of interest involved, such as
leads nations sometimes to find pre-
text for war because of some con-
quest or acquisition they desire to
make. Japan possesses nothing that
we could acquire or could possibly
wish to gain. We, on the other hand,
have nothing that Japan could hope
to gain and hold with benefit to her
self, as the result even Of success

in regard to obstructing public high
ways. There is now and has been
maintained a public nuisance in the
shape of a ditch, for distance Of 100
yards or more, right in the public

nuisance has given travellers trouble
ever since the irrigation season be-
gan. James Mikkelson had a wagon
break down here last week. The

Death of Charles S. Attix.

A late issue of the Tuscon (Ari-
xona) Citizen contains the following:
r Charles S. Attix, well known
mining man, died at st. Mary's hos
pital this morning of acute kidney
trouble after an illness of but three
days duration. Mr.. Attix came to
Arizona from Meeker, Colo, where
he was prominently identified with
public affairs, serving In the capacity
Of county commissioner and post
master for long term. He located
In Dos Cabezas in 1880 and after oper-
ating there for about a year trans
ferred his headquarters to Pima

the Comobabi and Quijotoa districts,
and afterward being identified with
the development of the Brownell

A Third Term Move.

The position of the administration
is, according to the Washington cor
respondent Of the New York Even-
ing Post, severely criticised, by the
foreign embassies in Washington.
This authority says:
svThe embassies do not believe that
the president has any war-like in
tent in dispatching a great fleet OF
battle ships to the Pacific, but they
do believe that he is engaged in the
unworthy occupation of employing
international pawns in domestic poll
tics. HIS motive for playing this
dangerous game they believe to lie
in lurking desire on his part to con-
tinue himself in Office, and make inn
perative his nomination by the Re-
publicans for a third term"
