At the suggestion Of foreign advis-

forcible amputation of queues has
been abandoned. The ministry Of the
interior has issued instructions to the
police of Pcking to cut off forcibly
the queues of rickshaw coolies. The
police were armed with scissors and
proceeded to fulfill instructions. The
rickshaw coolies banded together and
in several instances resisted and in
jured one or two policemen. The
Chinese officials argued that the
queue was badge Of servitude. The
advisors replied that it may have been
such to men who had ready history
ard understood that the MaHchu had
introduced the style, but that to the
coolie the queue was recognized
castom of hair dressing and nothing
more. The short hair was a foreign,
strange fashion which he had been
taught, up to few years ago, to de-
srise.

By Locomotive and Hurled From
Track-Occupants escape Serious
Injury.

While driving from his home,
near Hurlock, this morning, to the
station of the B., c. & A. Railway,
at that place, in order to catch
the Ocean City train, the carriage
in which were Mr.. Walter CouF
bourn and his family was struck by
the northbound train, on the P.jB'
& w. line, and hurled from the
track. That Mr. Coulbourn and
his family were not seriously IN
jured was due to the fact that
when he saw the train close on
him, he succeeded in getting the
horse around so that the train
struck only the rear wheels OF the
carriage. The vehicle was turned
over, and he and his three chill
dren were thrown out.
Mr.. Coulbourn's back was spraln-
ed as the result of the accident land
he and the children received some
slight bruises, but they were so
gratified at their escape that they
thought but little of the bruises,
etc., which they received from the
carriage being turned over.
