DR.. Landers Testified.
Dr. George B. Landers was called by
the defense. The physician appeared
extremely young as he took the witness
stand and showed n slight nervousness
which gradually increased while under
cross examination, due, perhaps to the
biting sarcasm employed by Mr.. Fitz-

Dr. Landers said he first met Mrs.

He met her at the railroad station and
accompanied her to the asylum. He
I described the nature of the place and
, the conditions under which she would
t remain. He told her it was an institu-

there as voluntary patient to under

made no demonstration of any kind

"MoWEs" FOR THE CHINESE
New Idea That May Mean Great
Deal In the Development Of the
Race and Country.

Students Of race development in the
far east may we'll feel a strictly non
commercial interest in the experiment
involved in the establishment Of a
heavily capitalized company in Hong
kong to produce in cities and larger
towns of China motion-picture shows
with explanations in the vernacular.
How much such shows may mean to
the education of the Cinnamon can
only be guessed by the Occidental.
That the isolation of China from the
worlds growth, the real ignorance Of
the Chinese masses as to all things
outside their own land, are respon-
sible for most of the conditions that
cause peril to the new republic from
foreign powers is evident enough to
any one who cares to think
The quickness Of the Chinese mind
Is not doubted. Perhaps there is no
race on earth that is better qualified
to grasp what the movies" have to
offer. The panorama without speech
has peculiar appeal to the Celes-
tials. A few years with the films that
show the life, the drama. the interests
OF Caucasion races may do more to
create a new China than any political
changes at Pekin. Education has to
be sugar-coated everywhere. The
movies should have a great future
in China.

swim against the stream. courage to
drown, when our due time is come.

WAS NOT FOR GENERAL USE
Postoffiee, When First Established,
Meant Only to Carry official
4 Correspondence.

The postoffice was first established
for the principal, and in some coun-
tries for the exclusive purpose of car
rying official correspondence by mail.
Later, in France, Great Britain, and
the United States, because of the
great expansion and commercialization
Of the postal system, the free carriage
Of mail matter came to be regarded as
a privilege, and this privilege was
claimed by persons in official position.
In England the house of commons
claimed the privilege as early as 1860.
It was abolished in Great Britain,
however, by the passage of Rowland's g
cheap postage measure in 1889. In
the United States the first appearance
of the franking privilege is traceable
to the action of the continental con-
gress assuming control of the postof-
fee in January. 1776. 1t is interesting
to learn that 1t was then granted to
all private soldiers actually in service
for all letters they might write or
that might be written to them. In
the early years of the United States
government the privilege was granted
widely, but it soon became necessary
to restrict 1t. An act of March 3.
1845, limited the privilege to the presi-
dent, the vice-president. members and
delegates in congress. the third as
sistant postmaster general, and all
postmasters. Other offices were di
rected to keep quarterly accounts OF
postage.
