Fat Is Out of Style

To paraphrass Caesars remark, the di-
%rectoire gown came-was seen-and has
conquered. So fat ladies are reduced. so
to speak, to the necessity of either reduc-
ing at a very rapid rate or eliminating
themselves from public view until the
fashion dies out. Otherwise they risk be-
ing ridiculous.
Since many fat ladies will not eliminate
themselves, however. but. per contra. will
insist on wearing the curveless gown, no
course is open 20 this well meaning scribe
other than TO tell them how they may
eliminate the fat.

the cost Of the pins still further. We

sting whose ~POiEnRncy
is Increasing.

When the Chinese handed over to Japan
the rich island Of Formosa according 10
the treaty Of Shimonoseki following the
Chinese-Japanese war of 1895, that acquisi-
ton contained a barbed sting, which the
Japanese nave felt with increasing poig-
nancy since they started to develop the
jungle interior of the island. That sting
was the hatred of the native savaRes
against the Chinese.
Mr.. Iami, chief Of the Formosan Admin
istration bureau, has recently pointed out
to the government at Toxic that the custom
of collecting Chinese heads, INDUCED in by
the aborigines during the years of Chinese
administration, has not been abated. merely
because the ruling heads in the island now
do not wear a queue. According to Mr..
Imai. the Chinese went to Formosa about
400 years ago and inaugurated a system OF
wholesale plumber. 1t is recorded that
they robbed. the natives on every hand,
m~altreated their women and in one Instance
| set fire to a forest in which they had over
1000 natives surrounded and murdered
the helpless savages as they ran from the
flames.
Babes were taught to hate the Chinese"
say the Japanese officials report, land
boys were taken by their fathers to the
heights to look down upon the Chinese
cities and curse them"
Head Hunting Custom.
out Of this condition of misrule arose
the Formosan custom of garnering Chimes
heads. Head hunting had always beer
more or less of a gentlemen's sport amonE
the savages, but because Of the ~iniquitie
practlced by their masters the Formosanf
, set a very high value upon the severed
and carefully cured head Of a Chinaman.
THE satisfaction of the Aiyu (savages)
was very great" continues Imai's report,
when they saw the japanese armies fight
ing to subdue the Chinese Immediately after
the cession of the island to Japan. They
thought the Japanese we're avenging Their
wrongs and they welcomed and befriended
our army. The physical resemblance OF the
Japanese to the aborigines did much TOWARD
making them friendly toward US.
But when the Chinese subjugation had
been. completed and the japanese became
the protectors Of the Chinese as we'll as OF
the aborigines, it became incumbent upon
us to punish severely those who went out
hunting Chinese heads. Then there was d
revulsion in the sentiment a the aborigines
toward the Japanese, and apparently think
ing the Japanese to be taking sides with
their enemies, the Chinese. they now carry
out their head hunting promiscuously and
both japanese and Chinese are made theiI
v%ictiras. We have bought the quarrel OF
the Chinese, as the saying goes, and we are
paying dearly for Il.

COLORADO DEMOCRATS
They Assemble to Select State Tickets
And Nominate
Senator.

Pueblo, Colo, Sept S.--The Demo-
cratic state convention called for the
purpose Of nominating a full state
ticket and declaring the party's choice
for United States senator to succeed
Senator Henry M. Teller was called to
order in the Grand Opera House by
State Chairman Milton Smith at II
o'clock today. The session was mark
ed as usual, with a contest from Den
yer county between the followers OF
Mayor Robert w. Speer and those Of
former United States Senator Thomas
NJ. Paterson. Chairman Smith an
nounced that the Speer delegation from
Denver had been placed on the tempor-
airy roll. Other con tests filed were from
Las Animas, Ell Paso and Conejos
counties.
State Senator w. Fl. Adams of Cone
Jos county, was unanimously chosen to
be temporary chairman.
After selecting committees the con-
vention took a recess until 1880 p, m.
There is little likelihood that the war
ring Denver Democrats will be able to
reach an amicable settlement and the
matter will be fought out in the Gre
4dentials committee and on the floor of
the convention.
There are numerous candidates for
every office on the state ticket, and
these, as well as the choice for United
States senator, will largely, If not en-
tirely. depend on the outcome of the
Denver contest.
