mistakable evidence of the American
invasion of China is contained in a
report, Just made to the Bureau of
Commerce and Labor by Consul Gen
eral Anderton of Hongkong. That
country which for thousands of years
has done everything the same old
way and refused to take up with the
progressive ideas of other nations is
now using wax manikins in modern
show windows to display goods and
attract trade.
The report sbounds in description
of Hongkong establishments now re-
sorting to this advanced method;
among them one institution displaying
a wax figure of a Chinese girl wear
ing somewhat foreignized model Chi
nese gown, in a somewhat foreignized

the criminal cases set for hearing in
Judge Robinson's court have to go
over until the private case in Judge
Cooper's court is concluded.

Hongkong's principal thoroughfare

CSinefe women to display the latest
styles in doing up woman;5 crowning
glory, while here and there may, be
seen figures and forms of varying de-
grees of res emblance to American
manikins, used to display Chinese ar
ticies of dress and adornment.
The majority of Chinese shops are
too small to permit the use OF such
figures, but the rapidly increasing
number of institutions charging their
show windows to permit of more mod
ern methods leads Consul Anderson to
predict that the "clean sweep sale"

dising are sure to follow up this in

there was any fire about the building
was when the rooms began filling

when the department responded a
lole was cut in the floor and the fire
cxtinguished, the damage was slight,
but fortunately was discovered before
the family retired, or more disastrous

BY noon today there were between

Tia, according the estimate of those

put their figure higher than this.
The first Monday in January could
not compare with today either in the

ed for sale.
Mules began coming into Columbia
as early as Saturday morning, and
chs continued until as late as IL
o'clock this morning, and they were
banked from the square down as far
as the Bethel House on Seventh
street, and all around the square and
down Main street both ways. Al

There were buyers here from At

The market was active early this
morning and the demand for the me-
dunn sized mule seems to be far in
excess of that for the larger sizes.
Notwithstanding that the prices ilave

The fame Of the Columbia mule mar

Of the state and it is a well known

The auction at Hayes barn this af-
tarnoon had a number of buyers pres
ant, and the stock brought good pric-
es. The prevailing price of the fif-
teen hand mule ranged around $165
to SITS.
There were a few pairs of big
mules sold, bringing 5000 and better.
They are appearing in much better
condition than they were a few weeks
ago, the feeding during the wait for
a higher market having resulted In
putting more flesh on them, and al
most all offering were in prime condi-
