Chicago is trying to stop bnsoban
playing on Sunday, and Now Yorkers
say they Intend to seal up every saloon
on Sunday. Such is reform.
Chicago papers claim that efficient
polico work has caused half tho crimi
nals to leavo tho city. Unless sho is
careful Chicago will get below tho two
million limit in population.
It Ib now charged that a dying man
was put out of a hospital In Chicago
because he could not hand over tho $10
demanded for a week's lodging. Thank
goodness none of them has yet got to
the state where it is accused of throw
ing out the corpses that fail to hand
over a fee for embalming. That seems
to bo coming, howover.
The people residing in the vicinity of
Curtis, Nob., have formally repudiated

the misleading statements which a few
professional beggars arc circulating.
Tho convicts In Sing Sing prison aro
"laying for" McLaughlin, tho Now York
polico Inspector sent up for extortion.
It appears that a good many of them
were sent up under McLaughlin's re
gime, and they havo sworn to get even,
if they havo to lynch tho unhappy in
spector In tho prison to do it. The
threats aro so numerous and so de
termined that tho prison authorities
havo taken tho matter up with a view
to tho proper protection of tho ex-Inspector.
The old settlers of Portage County,
"Wisconsin, had a reunion at Plover a
few days ago. Among thoso present
was Benjamin Ellis, now 82 yenrs old,
who was a passenger on the first train
of cars run in tho United States, be
tween BoBton and Lowell, sixty years
ago. Mr. Hills was born in tho State
of Mnin, and was in Boston when tho
first experiment in railroading was
made. A track was laid around Fan
euil Hall and a car placed on It. Tho
power was applied by men who turned
a crank, and ho was one of them. This
was bIx years before tho railroad from
Boston to Lowell was built.
At a recent mcelng of tho French
Sennto Commltteo on tho Colonies M.
Chautemps, tho Minister of Marine, be
gan to read a bulky report on tho pres
ent condition of tho colonics. At tho
very first wo"ds sovernl sonators
showed signs of restlessness, and finally
one of them, bolder than tho rcast, cab
"Pardon me, M. lo Mlnlstre, but you
oro reading nn old ropprt with which
we aro well acquainted, na It wns road
to us by ono of your predeccssoora."
Soveral members of tho commltteo be
gan to smile. M. Chautemps muttered
an apology and, folding up his papers,
bowed himself out.
The average expenses of tho students
at Yalo Collcgo, according to the senior
class book, are $912 for tho freshman
year, $943 for the sophomore, $912 cad'
for the Junior and senior years. There
are many students whoso expenses are
much less than theso amounts, but
thero aro many others whoso expenses
' aro much more, to raise tho averago to
more than tho earning capacity of tho
average graduate for soveral years at
least after ho leaves college. Theso
figures would requlro an earning ca
pacity of from $18 to $20 a week, or
more than $3 a day for tho six working
dayB of the week. How many college
graduates can secure positions where
they will earn $20 a week?
Tho English Liberals are still assert
ing that they wero turned out of power
by a "snap vote." As it is evident that
the whole question of the political com
plexion of Parliament will shortly be
settled by an appeal to tho country, It
might be tho wiser part for tho Lib
erals to strive to show cnuso why they
should bo restored to power rather
than to waste time in whimpering over
the way In which they wero deprivpd
of It. At this distance it docs not seem
that tho lato Liberal regime In Parlia
ment has produced any tangible re
sults. None of the reforms promised
lias been effected. Under Gladstone, as
under Rosebery, tho Liberals wero Im
potent to overcome the Inertia of ex
isting conditions. A Conservative Par
liament, it it wero to assume a reac
tionary policy, may accomplish more
for real Liberalism In England than
lias the Liberal party as It has been
constituted of late years.

New Youk, Aug. . 5. The telegram
tolling of tho massacre of Christians,
Including five women, at Ku Cheng,
excited the gravest fears nt the head
quarters of tho foreign bonrd of
Methodist . missions in this city
to-dny. Tho Motliodists have a
mission nt Ku Cheng. It is in charge
of Miss Mabel C. Hartford. Her as
sistant is Miss W. H. Rouse. In ad
dition to these It is feared that two
other women, Miss Mabel Allen and
Miss Sarah Peters are also in tho vi
cinity of Ku Cheng.
Corresponding Secretary A. B. Leon
ard of tho Methodist board of missions,
who has spent considerable time in
China, said to-day:' In view of the
fact thut wo havo received no cable
gram from China, wo can only hope
for the present that our people are
safo and well. Had any of our people
been massacred I am sure that the
Rev. W. II. Lalry, our representative
and treasurer at Foo Chow, from
which place the advices wero received,
would have cabled to us without de
lay. Wo will not communicate with
Mr. Lairy until wo receive information
of tho alleged ninssacro fr'jin him.
Miss Hartford is a resident of
Dover, N. II., and hns spent several
yearBasa missionary in China. Sho
was somo time ago put in charge of
the women's work at Ku Cheng. Miss
Rouse, her assistant, came from Luke
field, Minn.
Tho Rev. Jacob Gillcson, secretary
of the board of missions of tho Pres
byterian church, said to-dny that his
board had no missionaries within 260
miles of Ku Cheng. Ho expressed the
opinion that tho massacre affected
most seriously the church missionary
society of England, which established
a mission at Ku Cheng In 1847. Tho
mission is attached to the church of
England nnd has two houses there.
The society maintains twenty-two
schools in tho province. There Is also
a small church for lepers In tho leper
village just outsido of tho south gnto
of tho Methodist Episcopal compound.
Tho Itev. E. E. Chivors, secretary of
the Baptist board of foreign missions,
said that the Baptists havo no mission
aries neurer the scene of the alleged
massacre than So Chiang, which is 000
miles distant, utner missionaries are
located at Chi King, which is about
00 miles from Ku Cheng.

from United States Consul Jcrnigan,
at Shanghai, stating that one Amer

Yang Tse river, beyond the reach of
men-of-war, and about 400 miles north
of Cheng Tu, where the last missionary
riots occurred. Tho stato department
will take steps in the matter at once.
Under instructions from the state
department, United States Minister
Ucnby is now engaged In investigating
the damages sustained by the Amer
ican missions at Cheng Tu, China, dur
ing tho rioting there. The Chinese
government has already given assur
ances that it will pay a suitable in
demnity and has taken steps to ascer

the extent of the losses sustained by

to tho Taj lor Ilrottient.
Cahiiollton, Mo., Aug. .'..Sheriff
Stanley received a letter this morning.
The envelope wus postmarked St.
Joseph, and was indorsed "In behalf
of tho Taylor bays." It was as follows:
"We, the undersigned, do solemnly ;
swear tnnt tho Taylor brothers aro
not tho murderers of tho Mccks family,
as the majority of tho people think,
but the men who committed tho deed
aro as follows: Vcrney Taylor, Bill
White, Enos Williams, Tom Williams.
We heard that tho Taylors had given
81)000 to Gus and wo took this method
of getting tho money. By throwing
them in George Taylor's hay stack,
all the suspicion would bo thrown
on him, thinking ho could
clear himself. We have been
wanted for murders, robbery and a
number of othtr crimes, but have nev
er been caught. Wo are now on our
road to New Mexico and, If you can
catch us, you may havo us. You will
hang two innocent "men. Wo have no
relatives, and if wo como to tho gal
lows it won't bo as bad as if tho Taylors
do, for they are Innocent. Hoping
that you will not hang tho innocent
brothers for that crime we bid you
adieu."
It is regarded as a rank fake sent
out by some of tho friends of tho
Taylors to start a search and feeling
in their favor. No.ther Prosecutor
Bresnehen nor Sheriff Barton ever
heard of Verney Taylor or the Will
inrases or White.
