REAL sPoTLEss TOWN IN CHINA.
More Modern Than Chicago and with
Streets Actually Clean.

Streets Actually Clean.
Chicago.-A city in Western China,
but more modern in some respects
than Chicago, was described by Pro.
fessor E. D. Burton of the University
of Chicago. 1t was taken by him as
an excellent illustration of the new
impulse toward civilization in the Far
East. A chief of police who has Or
dered all beggars from the streets
cording to the precepts of modern So
GEOLOGY; a head of the street clean
ing department who keeps the city
cleaner than Chicago or even Paris; a
superintendent of schools. who is in
stalling modern education in law and
mining and engineering as rapidly as
possible-these are characters in the
strange story, which Burton says
sheds new light on China and her
people and corrects many false con-
ceptions regarding that empire.
THE city of Chentu, metropolis of
Western China, Is almost 1900 miles
from the coast as the crow flies. What
was our surprise" said Professor Bur-
ton, ito find ourselves in streets as
clean as those of Paris"
Cleaner, should say, Judging from
what saw when l passed through
there" put in Professor Chamberlin.
We'll, as clean as the streets of
Berlin, then" said DR.. Burton. 1--WE
found the head of the street cleaning
department is man who has travelled
and has ideas. He had organized an
efficient crops of sweepers, and once
a day the pavements were gone over
carefully with brooms. The dust was
carted away in bags on the backs OF
coolies"

"a Cheap Skate"

"Joel Chandler Harris" said an At
lantan, FUSED to write comic newspa-
per editorials. Sometimes he made
fun of other editors in them, too.
Simon Simpson, a rival editor in
Mobile, having been made fun Of,
wrote angrily in his rage:
"'Joel Harris has been getting of
some cheap wit at our expense

sULTAN's AWFUL CRIME.
Horrible Details Of Murder OF Pre-
tender to the Throne.


Paris.-A dispatch to the "Matin"
from Fee says that inquiries show that
Ell Roghi, the Pretender to the throne
Of Morocco, who was executed at Fee,
was put to death by Sultan Mulai Ha'
fig himself under circumstances of
revolving cruelty.
According to the correspondent,
the monarch, assisted by his chamber.
lain, dragged the Pretender into q
cage Of lions and then provoked the
animals, which leaped ON the men
acled captive, infiicting horrible
wounds. Then, as Ell Roghi fell to
the ground motionless, the lions left
him alone, despite the goadings OF
the Sultan, who thereupon pulled his
still living victim outside the cage
with hooks, emptied a can Of lamp
oil over him and set him on fire. feed
ing the flames with oil-soaked rags
until nothing but the charred bones oi
the Pretender remained.

The Scotch Alright.

A Scottish laird overheard some
Lowland cattle dealers discussing the
use of England" instead of Britain"
in Nelson's famous sigma, England
expects that every man will do his
duty" According to one patriotic
Scot there was no question of the Ad-
miral's forgetfulness, and when a CON-
panion expressed surprise at the "in-
justice" the patriot reassured him.

poets of the English; he said naeth-

Morals and Eternal Life,

If a mere dream, life is a very much
poorer and pettier thing; men are be-
ings Of much less Importance; trouble,
danger and physical pain are much
greater evils. and the prejudice OF
virtue is much more questionable than
has hitherto been supposed to be the
case. If men follow the advice so
often pressed upon them, to cease to
think of these subjects otherwise than
as insoluble riddles, all the existing
conceptions of morality will have to
be changed, all social tendencies will
be weakened. Merely personal incli-
nations will be greatly strengthened.
Men who say tomorrow we die" will
add "let us eat, drink and be merry"

Red Lin SalXe.

Cinderella.-My lips are pale and
purplish and not good color. Would
you recommend the use of a red lip
salve?
To redden the lips artificially would
detract from your looks rather more
than pale and purplish lips. You can
help matters very much by massaging
th< lips and applying camphor and
vaseline in the manner just described.
Rub the lips with the finger tips,
which stimulates the circulation.
Pallor Of the lips indicates lowering
Of the tone of the whole body. and
shows that you need a tonic.

If Daughter has voice and takes

is to throw in railroad trip with

GEN. HARRIES BELIEVED
Congress Heights Will Wait for Dou-
BILE Tracks and Through Cars

The Congress Heights Improvement
Association met the other night in the
town hall President Price made pub
lie letter from Gen George Uarries,
vice-president Of the Washington Rail
way and Electric Company, relating
to double-tracking the Congress
Heights car line from Anacostia, and
also operating through cars.
Gen. IIarries said the estimates made
by the company indicated that the
cost of double-tracking the line would
be $4,000, and that before through
service could be inaugurated addition
al rolling stock, air-brakes, and so
forth, would call for $4,000 more,
making a total Of $4,000.
While Gen. Harries stated in his let
ter that at the present time funds We're
not available for that purpose, he was
looking into the future, and hoped that
the expensive item might be transfer
red to 1910.
President Price, after the reading Of
the letter from Gen. Harries, advised
the Association to take it in good faith.
The letter was formally accepted.
A resolution was passed to the effect
that the cars to Congress Heights be
put in sanitary condition. 1t was also
made known that the school board
had promised to put in a new piano in

fountain of living water that play

centre of the floor space. to the
near dozen demonstrators of
various excellent and popular lines.
the charming young lady assistants,
and the busy porters, everything
was elaborate.

ketchups, sauces, sausage, etc..
were in keeping and the immense
crowds looked as though they were
carrying off everything in sight

the demand and the Pure Food

needed in pantry and kitchen for
the inner man.

MiIt Moses Recaptured.

MiIt Moses, one of the notorious
Moses family. who escaped from the
County Farm in April, 1908, has
been recaptured after numerous
efforts in that direction by the
county authorities. He was arrest
ed in Jackson by L. L. Kirkpatrick,
of the Capital City, who was on the
lookout for him, and Supt. Miller,
of the County Farm, at once notl-
fed. Mr.. Miller went up to Jack
son after Moses Wednesday and re-
turned with him that evening and
lodged him in the county Jail.
Thursday Moses was arraigned
before Justice Butler. on an affidav-
it charging him with breaking Jail,
and promptly entered a plea of
guilty 'whereupon he was bound
over the in sum of $500 for his ap.
pearance at Circuit Court.
Moses was sentenced to the coun-
ty farm by the Circuit Court in
1906. for selling liquor. the penalty
being 80 days and $500 fine and
costs. He appealed his case to the
Supreme Court. which affirmed the
Judgment Of the lower court, and
after good long delay, he was ar
rested and conveyed to the. county
farm. After serving out the go
days Imprisonment, he rendered
the Board of Supervisors $144 as
the value of his time at the stipu-.
lated rate on the farm, for the two
year limit a prisoner can be held
on the farm, and on this being de-
cIined, he employed a lawyer and
instituted proceedings before the
Chancellor to compel his release.
The Chancellor sustained the Board
of Supervisors and about this time
Moses took French leave and has
been at large ever since. He stat
ed to Justice Butler that he had
been in Brookhaven twice since he
broke out of the county farm. He
is one of the worst of the Moses
gang, if there is any difference.
