CHINA IS AWAKENING;
POSTAL SERVICE PROOF.
Mail Delivery as Far as Tibet, Eng.
Iish Inspector Says.

'It is obviously impossible" says Sir
Robert Bredon, acting inspector gen.
eral of Chinese customs, who is now
In England, "for the world at large to
treat as a negligible quantity, either
politically or industrially, a homgene-
Gus race of 400,000,OoO human beings,
large percentage of whom are now
fully alive to the potentialities OF their
race and country.
"As an instance of the changes In
Pekin alone, Sir Robert says that "the
old, unpaved, mephitic thoroughfares
are giving way to spacious macad-
amized roads, lighted by electricity In
place of the old fashioned oil lamps
An adequate and pure water supply
on European lines has replaced the old
surface wells"
! Perhaps the most amazing progress
h Chinese internal administration Is
/, that recorded in connection with the
postal service. In illustration of this
| Sir Robert says:
"Foot and horse couriers now pene-
trate into extreme western China 1900
| miles and we have postal lines flung as
| far as Tibet. There is also a money
order system all over China, an ex-
press delivery service in every big city.
There are 1000 native postoflices, en-
ploying $1,000 persons, Of whom not
more than 200 are foreigners.
again" says Sir Robert, "the sedan
| chair Is being superseded among tho
| wealthy Chinese by the use of brough-
ans drawn by splendid horses Of
| Australian breed. The police force Of
| Pekin is now organized on American
| lines and effectively controls traffic in
| the streets.
"As regards the educational move
| ment," he reports, ''it is significant
| that many high officials are maintain

There is, for instance, the case of the
wife of Mongol prince, who has at
| least fifty Chinese girls In private
school, W ich she maintains"

WON HOUSE By COIN TOSS.
Rural Superstition Killed by Sky
scrapms of Present.

According to an octogenarian, the
height of build ngs in New York has
dealt deathblow to an old supersti-
ton that animated many country
youth who came to New York to make
his fortune sixty years ago.
Heaven knows how they came by
the belief" said he, 'but most of those
that IL they could toss coin o5er a
house that they took a fancy to at the
first try the house would be theirs some
day.

and put 1t to test Immediately after

The only money had left was an old

ANCIENTS FEARED DOG DAYS
Sacrificed CANNES to Sirius to Ward
OFF Sultry Dangers.

In ancient times it was customary
at the beginning Of dog days" to sac
rifce brown dog to appease the
wrath Of Sirius, the dog star, so soon
as that star became visible to the
naked eye.
Sirius was supposed to cause the
hot, sultry weather usually attendant
on its appearance, and the ancients
believed that on the first morning OF
its rising the sea boiled, wine turned
sour, dogs grew mad and that man
became afflicted with burning fevers,
Mysteries and frenzies.
At Argos festival was held during
the dog days called cynophontes, from
Greek words signifying killing dogs,
when 1t was the custom to kill every
canine creature that was met with.

ABDUL HAMIO'S 746 WIVES
WORRY LAWMAKlNG TURKS.
Pensoned Because They Can't Re-
marry Among MosIems.

Abdul IIamid's wives continue to be
a source Of perpiexity to the Turkish
government Their number was esti-
mated not to exceed 200, including fe-
male slaves of all ranks, but the minis
try of finance found itself confronted
by claims from TAG women who de-
manded from the ex-sultan's successor
compensation to the tune of $S0O,OO0
The government refused to pay this
sum, but proposed that the chamber
should sanction an arrangement by
which the women of the harem for a
period of ten years should receive
monthly pensions ranging from $4.25
to $2125, which even In frugal Turkey
is a pretty meager subsistence. The
Turkish deputies, however, still thought
the ministry overgenerous.
Some of the Extreme Left shouted,
"Why don't you get them married off p
whereupon the finance minister retort-
ed that the women were lone and
homeless widows and, according to
Turkish custom, could not expect to at
lTdCl HuSDdutS tnc
Other deputies suggested that as the
women came mostly from Asia Minor
or Albania they should be sent back
to their native provinces to be cared
for locally.
Here the members for the provinces
concerned jumped up and pointed out
Indignantly that the families of these
women had received good money for
them by selling them to Yildiz kiosk
and that the local authorities could not
now be expected to provide for their
maintenance. Other deputies again
firmly refused to do anything at all
for the ex-suhan's grass widows so
long as wives and mothers of Ottoman
soldiers who had bled for their coun-
try were living in dire poverty.
Finally a small majority was found
for the governments project, and so
the women of the harem may look for
ward to receiving their little pension,
at all events until 1920.

N yOT since the simple days before
N firearms and explosives has
A. there been any adequate pro-
lection or assurance against as
sassination. In those early times a
ruler in a dagger proof shirt was safe
enough If the courtier whose privilege
1t was to taste the royal food for poison
was faithful.
But no precaution can Offset the pls-
tol or the bomb in the hands of the
murderer who disarms suspicion by ap-
pearing as one of the crowd Of WELL
wishers and admirers of the man
whom he is about to slay.
Gaetano Bresci was waving his hat
and cheering with the crowd that sur
rounded Italy's king before he fired the
three shots that killed him.
Leon Czolgosz was in line of patri-
otic American citizens awaiting his
turn to shake hands with Mckinley
when he drew the revolver that robbed
the United States of a president In
both cases there We're troops and police
present Ten times as many would
have made no difference.
Gaynor's Case an Example.
Mayor Gaynor was on the deck of
ship surrounded by friends, and beyond
the circle of those friends was larger
group of admirers of the man, glad to
avail themselves of the opportunity of
seeing one about whom they had read
so much No one could have asked
safer place or safer conditions for him
an instant before he was shot
Isolation seems to be the only sure
solution of the problem of protecting
men In high Office from violence. But
no man blessed with the essentials for
popularity or of sufficient force to at
tract the assassin would submit to that
alternative. 1t has happened so often
that the attempt to kill, sometimes sue
cessful and sometimes not, has been
made on festival occasion that it has
almost become rule.
Lincoln was at the theater McKin-
ley was in the Temple of Music at
Buffalo participating In the ceremonies
incidental to the Pan-American expo
sition. King Humbert was just step
ping into his carriage after watching
the award of prizes to athletes at
gymnasium club at Monga. King AL
fonso of Spain and his queen bride,
Victoria, were on the way from the
church In which they had been mar
ried within the hour when the bomb
was thrown that did not harm them,
but killed q score of royal wedding day
merrymakers.
King Carlos Of Portugal and his son.
the Crown Prince Louis Philippe, were
on their way to their capital from a
vacation when squad Of 'Sassins
armed with carbines killed thclu both.
Mayor Gaynor was about to start on a
vacation journey.
Festivities Cause Negligence.
On festival occasions the guards un-
consciously relax their vigilance In
spite of themselves. There seems to
be no room for suspicion. Undoubted-
ly the assassin takes that into account
when he plans to join in the celebra-
ton. He knows that on no day In the
year is the saying that cat may look
at king so true as on the day when
! the king is to descend from his throne,
so to speak, to get In close touch with
his neorle

REPORTERS REWRITE BIBLE?
Clergyman Thinks Newspaper Han
dlinu Would Enhance Interest.

The novel combination In the pulpit
of q newspaper mans training with
the equipment of a minister Is the ul
to date idea of the Rev. w. III. Jordan,
pastor of the Presbyterian church at
Jerseyville, Ill. Recently he visited
a newspaper Office there to see how a
daily is got out.
1.-THE bright and breezy way In which
city reporters write up an event makes
people read the story through With
interest from start to finish," COM
mented Mr.. Jordan. 'I have often
thought that If ministers In their SER
mon writing would try to adopt news
paper methods to the extent Of turning
out more interesting and vivid copy
they would make more impression
upon their congregations and attract
more to the services.
'If certain events related In the
Bible had been covered by men like
the newspaper reporter OF today, how
eagerly we would read them. l be-
lieve many persons now repelled by
the style of the King James version
would read such an account, II 1t ex-
listed. with the keenest interest and
pleasure"

In modern times no assassinations
have been so brutal and at the same
time so thorough as those at Belgrade
In the summer Of 1903, when the en-
tire royal family of Servia was wiped
out and a dynasty ended with swords,
pistols and an ak.
King Alexander, his queen, Draga;
the queens two sisters and brother,
the premier, two ministers, several
generals and all of the royal guard
were massacred In the palace between
midnight and o'clock In the morning.
The country and the army were In
revolt, and an entire regiment of in
fantry. led by Colonel Machin, a broth.
er-in-law of the doomed queen, par
ticipated In the slaughter. The queen
was slain with an ak in the hands Of
the lieutenant colonel.
When King Carlos OF Portugal and
the crown prince were killed they
were riding In the royal carriage with
Queen Amelie and the infant Manuel
from the railroad station at Lisbon to
the palace. The streets were filed
with cheering people. A big escort
of soldiers was before and behind the
carriage. But the soldiers had no rea-
son to suspect a group of men stand
ing at one of the corners and cheering
with the crowd until those men who
had waited until the carriage was In
front Of them threw aside their cloaks,
raised their carbines and began to fire
by volleys.
Three shots hit the king, killing him
instantly. Three hit the crown prince.
and he died before the drivers could
reach the palace.
