Of New York's
Chinatown

"HE wide publication of the
grewsome story of Elsie Sigels
death at the hands Of Chinese
admirer has turned public at
tention to the Chinese colonies In some
OF the large cities and their queer
scenes and characters.
Naturally the conditions revealed In
the course of the Investigations into
the murder of Miss Sigel have aroused
public sentiment against any associa-
tons between American young women
and the Chinese in this country. One
OF the most experienced of the work
ers among the Chinese In New York,
Miss Helen f. Clark. declares that the
results of such associations are deplor-
able both for the American women
and the Chinese men. She says:
I'm 1892 | personally opened mis-
sion to the Chinese In Chinatown, New
York. AT the outset | adopted two

MY mission was In two parts, one
place for Chinese women and a sep
arate location and work for Chinese
men. My personal teaching was given
first to the Chinese women and chill
dren, after that to the night school
held during the week for Chinese men
and boys. This school was organized
on the basis of the public schools, with
graded classes. Our pupils were all
taught In glasses. ! was the principal
OF this school, and paid young men
missionaries to teach with me.

made in the public press against the

Her Mysterious Death and Once Prom
isins Career.
The remarkable circumstances under
which the life of Mrs. Edith May
Thompson Woodill was taken in a
bungalow near st. Michaels, Md.
makes the case memorable in the an
nails of crime. The fact that the dead
woman was the ward Of Lyman J..
Gage of Los Angeles, formerly secre-
tary Of the treasury and noted bank
er, lends special interest to the story
of the murder. There Is mystery re-
gnrding her parentage, but she was
adopted by wealthy people and educat-
ed well. Il was Mr.. Gage who paid
for her musical training, and she gave
much promise as a singer. She once
appeared at the White House before
the late President Mckinley. At the
time of her death she was the wife Of
Gilbert Woodlll Of Los Angeles. A for
mer New York broker. Robert Emmett
Eastman. also known as h4in1,.vs =.
Roberts, became infatuated with her,
and ono theory Of the murder is that
he slew her while she was repelling
his advances. Her body was found In
the Choptank river weighted down
with metal and bricks, and Eastman
committed suicide on being surround
ed by posse. leaving note saying
that the woman's life had been taken

OF quite a different type from Miss

George Connors, better known as

the original Of Il. W. Townsend's
'Chimmie Fadden." Another novelist
who was interested by Mr. Chuck
Gonnors was Hall Game, who did
Chinatown with Chuck as his guide
on his last visit to America.
