AN IMpAssABLE GULF.

The murder of a young white
girl of prominent family N New
York's Chinatown is one of those
horrible tragedies which it is best
to let pass with as little comment
as possible. The law must take
it's course with the fiend or fiends
who perpetrated the crime, and it
is we'll for the public to know the
facts, not that curiosity is to be
pandered to, but that similar con-
ditions likely to lead to such a
tragedy may be guarded against.
Comment, however, may be
properly directed to the words of
the uncle of the unfortunate girl,
who, though he expressed himself
too generally and with feeling
against a race, rather than an in
dividual, uttered words containing
much truth. There is no occasion
for American women to associate
with the general run of Chinese in
this country, even for reasons of
the purest philanthropy. Few
Chinese are ever genuinely con-
verted to a foreign religion. Their
own is a part of their blood,
changelesP, nearly as old as their
race, and as enduring. It is mis-
take for well-disposed women with
no understanding of the oriental
character to suppose that they can
give to an oriental "a new heart, "
when he has kept bis old heart
against all assaults since the dawn
of history and is we'll satisfied with

HER COMMENT

An old Irishman named Casey
made lot of money as contrac-
tor and built fine house for his
children
The sons and daughters were
much ashamed of the plebian faith
er, and Casey was always kept in
the rear of the house when they
had a party or a reception. One
day Casey died, and there was q
great TODD about it. The children
had fine coffin with plenty of
flowers, and Casey vas laid in state
In the parlor.
That evening an old Irish wo-
man, who had known Casey when
he was a laborer, came and asked
to see the face of her dead friend.
They conducted her to the parlor.
She walked up to the coffin, took
a long look, and said:
Faith, Casey, an they've let
we into tn parlor at lasht.''

THE INDIANS.

For long time sentimentalists
have bewalled the passing of the
mobile red man. asserting that
the white mans civilization has
pushed him out of his own coun.
try and almost to the point of ex-
tinction. The facts seem not to
bear out that view of the matter.
During the past ten years, it seems,
the Indian population of Canada
has increased upwards of 10, 900.
The Indians Of the United States
number some 275, 900, one-third of
whom wear American clothes, hats
and shoes, and speak and write
the English language. More than
100, 900 Indians live in Oklahoma.
There are colonies of Indians in
Florida and North Carolina. Just
about the only unreconstructed
Red men Ia the country are to be
found in the Dakotas and Mon
tana. Even the Arizona and New
Mexico Indians are taking on civ
lllZation and clothes. Not less than
two United States senators have
Indian blood in their veins. Good
judges of the situation are of the
opinion that there are now just
about as many Indians in the
country as there ever were at any
time. That being the case, the
Indians are persistent and not a
passing people.

in This State.

The police search for Nine. A-diva

dc Bar, and her satellite, David the
Now York inpostors, today extended
to New Jersey, as a result of informa-
ton given by Mrs. Lillian Hobart
French, president of the Mahetma In
stitute. The authorities of all the near
by New Jersey cities and towns were
asked to aid III running the pair who
heeced rich men to earth.
Mrs. French could give no definite in
formation about the wanted couple,
but believed their home is somewhere
in New Jersey, since, whenever they
spent an evening in New York city, they
always left early to catch their train.
Her impression is that they always
went to the West Twenty-third street
ferry.
Whether the fugitives vent to their
supposed New Jersey home on their
final trip, after they had been ordered
away from the Mahetma Institute is
a point on which Mrs. French is not
informed. but which the police hope
to clear up.

SNEEZING.

TT is a very curious thing that all
over the world there exists' the
same superstition in regard to the
apparently trivial matter of sneezing.
In nearly every language under the
sun there is some equivalent of God
bless YOU" with which our oldest in
habitants in the country will salute the
person who sneezes. To this salutation
Of France is added sometimes the
phrase, land preserve you from the fate
Of Tycho Brahe,' who is believed to
have got rid of a death of cold" by a
single s-neeze-which killed him.
In England the regular saying is:
teOnce for a wish, twice for a kiss. three
times for d letter, and four times for a
disappointment" In Italy the saluta-
tion is simply "Feiicita!" or May you
BE- fortunatet" In India it is customary
when one snee2es to say, May you
live!" and the reply runs. Long life
90 you!'
In ancient times the Romans, hold
ing the idea that sneeZing between noon
and midnight was a good omen be-
lieYed that between midnight and Dol
It was most unlucky. and if they should
chance to sneeze while getting up in
the morning they would at once get
into bed again.
The Germans say Good health," be-
causc they maintain. and not without
reason. that sneezing is a warning of
approaching catarrh, and also marks
the moment when a charm or a wish
may drive it away.
