WILL FERGUSON INJURED.

Rapid City, S. D., July 22-While
working in a sawmill at Mystic Will
Ferguson brother Of Mrs. George
Keown of this city, was injured
about the 18th of this month. Rel
atfves and friends in this city were
informed Of the accident at the
time, but from the information re-
ceived we're led to believed that
the injuries were slight and Of no
serious consequences. Word received
recently from the hospital at Lead
is to the effect that Will will lose
his right eye and perhaps the sight
Of the other.
At the time the accident occurred
Will was working near the big saw.
and was thrown in such a manne
as to strike him across the face
and drove a silver into the right
eye, and severing the optical nerve.

WOMEN STILL LONG
TO TUTOR THE CHINESE

New York, Ju.y 21,-Recent sta
tistics compiled in this city indicate
that there are enrolled in the
various Sunday schools maintained
for the christianizing of Chineses,
some 1000 celestials. 1t is one of
those anomalies which is hard 70
explain that the attendance at these
schools has appreciably increased
since the terrible fate of Elsie Sigel.
the pretty granddaughter of General
Franz Sigel, who after being murder
ed by n of her Chinese pupils was
thrown into a tank. Interest in this
tragedy was revived this week by
the offering for probate of the will
Of Miss Alethea Mason Carter, a
teacher in one of these schools, who
left $4,000 in cash and personal
property to Wong Hong Hoey, a pn-
Pill. In d%isposing of her estate the
woman ignored several of her rela-
tives, who will probably contest the
will on the ground Of undue infIu-
e1ce. What strange spell is it which
these Acknowledged sons Of Confuci-
Gus cast over their American teach
ers that seems to enchant them
Perhaps it is a manifestation of re-
fisious fervor, a sense of that spirit
ual exaltation that benumbs the Gus
tomary mental poise of the good VIZ
men who are engaged in this work.
Out of the strange association with
in recent years several marriages
have developed and not a few scan-
dals. But neither the fear of the
one or the danger OF the other ap.
pears to have exerted and modifying
influence upon the ordar Of the
teachers, who seemingly prefer
teaching the doctrines Of the gentle
Nazarene to the purveyors Of Chop
Suey and their more humble breth-
rem Of the l%aundries than to white
men. It's a problem for the psychol-
ogist to solve. They should get busy
at once.

THE CYNAsURE OF ALL EYES,

A man may fight or a man may
write
Or conquer in debate,
And thus attain a splendid height,
And be accounted great;
A man may rule Ger all he sees
And be declared sublime;
But only one has the power to please
The people all the time.
A man may sink an armored feet,
Defying fear and death,
And gather honors that are sweet,
And lose them in a breath;
There's many a man unheard of now
Who once was deemed sublime;
One only seems to know just how
To dazzle all the time.
The statesmen and the warriors rise
To claim the worlds applause,
Then sink from sight, the brave, the
wise
And no one asks the cause.
But there is one whom Fate DEGREES
To eve be sublime,
Who manages, somehow, to please
The public all the time.

MIDSUMMER CELEBRATIONS
VOGUE AT WASHINGTON

VOGUE AT WASHINGTON
Washington, July 21.-The season
of midsummer celebrations. varying
from h~ome-comings to Oldest inhab-
itants' day, is wrecking the peace
Of mind of those who are running
the navy department. The Ameri.
a citizen-at-large has a fashion Of
demanding that the navy be kept III
fighting trim always; but when the
dog days arrive and the citizens as
ISOLATION and the chamber of COM
merce of the home town decide to
have a little outburst of merry
making of some kind or another, the
citizen-at-large decides that to make
the little gathering a success tho
government should send the Allan
tic fleet, and if that cannot come,
as many battleships and torpedo
boats and submarines as are avail
able.
If the navy department undertook
to comply with the flood of summer
requests the United States would
have to stop farming and take to
building ~battleships and submarines
for the next half century. The de-
mands so far this summer call ior
II fleets, 1877 %battleships and 81 SUP
marines, all of which are wanted to
shed lustre on the celebration Of
the thirteenth anniversary of the
founding of Jonesville or some equal
1y important event.
1t is of little moment whether OF
not the village in question has no
deeper access to the Atlantic ocean
than a three-foot mud channel The
omniscient navy department is ex-
pected to send it's battleships over
land if necessary.
eft is difficult to convince the cit
liens of any seaboard city that the
creek or which their metropolis is
located is not the finest natural har-
har-with a little dredging-in the
world, and large enough to harbor
the fleets of all nations" said a nav
al official. GAS the navy is the prop-
erty of the people of the Unite1

at the call of the six hundred and
s~eventy-two citizens of the towns
which wishes to celebrate"
For the most part the navy de-
partment respectfully informs the
! applicants that the navy is laid up
in the yards for repairs and can
not possibly, despite the desire Of
the secretary to make the celebra-
ton, wherever it may, a success, be
brought out for this purpose.
In this connection it is curious
how many people seem to claim own
ership of the United States nav.
The citizen and the taxpayer is ev-
erywhere, and he is not shy about
declaring that he has a good deal to
do with the running Of the United
States. Although the town which
demands naval display as a matter
Of justice may contribute not more
than thirty-four dollars per annum
to the upkeep of the Atlantic fleet
the leading citizens usually head
their petitions to their congress-
man: Whereas we, the citizens of
Mercenaryville contribute to the sun
port of the glorious American nav
we respectfully request that the A.
lantic fleet be stationed at our spaci-
Gus harbor on August 9 when our
glorious city will do honor to the
memory of John Jones our reverad
founder"
