GETTING THROUGH JAP LINES.
Chinese Spy Carried a Message from
One Russian General to Another.


Chinese honesty is proverbial, but
would seem to have its exceptions.
Rev. John H. X. De Forest of Auburn
dale, Mass, for IS years resident in
Japan and high in the confidence of
Japanese statesmen and officIals, told
OF an episode Of which he had per-
sonal knowledge while with the army
Of Kuroki in Manchuria:
Some of the spies used by both
sides during the war were Chinese"
he said. "Comptcations not infre-
quently resulted
Kuropatkin one day had q partic-
ularly important message to send to
Gen. Stoessel. To get through the
Japanese lines seemed almost out of
the question, but the Russian COM
mander went to Chinese famous for
his skill and intrepidity. The old fell
low didn't want to risk it, but Kuro-
patkin cajoled him to do it, giving him
$500 and promising him 5000 when he
returned.
When he reached the vicinity of
the Japanese lines, with an intention
that had evidently been with him from
the start. he went straight to Kuroki
insisting that his business was very
pressing.
He explained in full to Kuroki that
the Russian general had given him q
task which he could not perform be-
cause of the admirable disposition OF
the Japanese forces, that therefore he
had done the next best thing and come
straight to the illustrious leader Of
the triumphant Japanese.
"Kuroh read the dispatch, gave Il |
back to him. babe him go on to Stoes-
sci with 1t and return with the answer |
to the Japanese camp, where he would |
receive $500 and be permitted to carry |
the answer on to Kuropatkin and COLI
lect his remaining 5000. The China
man carried out his instructions in de-
tail and collected for his exploit
$1,000"

THE FIRE
APPARATUS
ASSURED
The Committee Appointed to
Solicit Funds Meeting
With Success.
Chemical Engine and Hook
and Ladder Truck Will
Be Purchased.

II is with pleasure that the editor OF
the STANDARD chronicles the success at
tending the efforts of the committed
appointed to solicit funds for the pur-
chase of fire apparatus. A. X. Jeffrey
and j. M. Smitten were selected for
this work, and at the present time they
have succeeded in raising $3.50. In
eluded in this amount is the sum of
sl72.50 turned over to the committee by
the editor of the STANDARD, this being
the receipts from the show given over
a year ago for the benefit of the fire
fund, and an individual subscription
from Mr.. John z. Schneider of $40,
making q total of 1882. so raised at that
time.
The committee now has s7l5 in the
bank and are at work collecting up the
balance of the $3.50. 1t is understood
that At the next meeting Of the Board
of County Commissioners that body
will appropriate at least $500, which
will increase the cash available for the
purpose to over $1,000.
1t has been decided by the committee
having the matter in hand to purchase
a hook and ladder truck and q chemical
fire engine, it beng the prevailing
opinion that property can be we'll pro-
tected with such apparatus. Nine.
tenths of fires in cities are extinguish-
ed by means of the chemical engine,
and it is only in cases where q fire has
gained an uncomfortable headway that
a resort to the steam engine and water
is necessary. 1t is out of the question
to think of purchasing steam engine,
on account of the expense, connected
with putting in water system or digg-
ing cisterns. Consequently the plan
decided upon il considered the most
feasible.
