At a late hour Monday night ho was persuaded to go to bin Hoarding place at the residence of James Hrooks on Vine street , nml ho undressed and wont to bcu. About liU : ! o'clock yesterday morning the night Jailor at the city Jail was aroused by a wild shriek , as of a 'man in mortal ter ror , and an Instant later Duncan rushed in , clad In nothing uut his natural beauty. "Save' mo , " WAS his cry. Jailor B.irhyta saw at once that ho had a crazy man on his lianas and ho gave him a bunk for the night. During the morning ha was taken to the county Jail for safe keeping and spent the nlirht , howling , his shrieks keeping all of that neighborhood awake as long as ho was thero. The four men who had boon arrested on suspicion of havlug attempted to hold Duncan - can upvcro at once discharged as soon as the actual state of affairs became known. Ono of them had been married Mon day afternoon to a young lady from Nebraska , and 'Ills chagrin nt having to open up his married career In the city Jail may bo Imagined hotter than described. Thcro was no evidence whatever to show that they had made any attempt to hold-up the unfortunate man , and they were simply the unfortunate victims of circumstances.

The family were all out of the city for a sum mer's outing , and the man had accordingly "been allowed to do his work without moles tation until the son of the proprietor hap pened around. When called upon for an ex planation of His queer conduct no said there had been a wreck on some railroad and ho had been sent in great haste for Dr. Lacey. who roomed there , to take care of the wounded and dying man. That accounted for his anxiety to got Into the house , but it was hardly a satisfactory explanation of the strange way ho took of obtaining admittance. As soon as Mr. Atkins would lot him go ho went away as gracefully as could bo expected under the circumstances. The city Is full to the brim of tramps and professional thieves. Where they have come from pr where they are going no ono seems to know. The only thing certain is that they are hero and people can hardly vqnturo out of their houses after I ) o'clock in the evening without miming the risk of being held up ami robbed. Even in the day time they practice their business. Citi zens should use extra caution to see that the thieves arc not given a chance to realize profits at their expense. The police are ooing what they can to got the toughs out of the city , but with the present size of the force it Is Impossible that very satisfactory results will bo obtained. JJENMSON UltOS.

Cclotlal Soldier * Try to Frlchtcn Tholr by Urlninnrs anil Tlio methods of warfare hitherto prac ticed by the Chinese have been the most primitive Imaginable , says the Boston Transcript. Having thrown up intrench- incuts , posted their men to slaughter the enemy in front , they have regarded nn attack on the Hank ns low minded nnd cowardly. When thoi fought with the British they were astonished to discover that their tiger-faced shields nnd the clangor of the gongs , cymbals and other " strange instruments "played by their regimental bands failed" to terrify the European enemy. Their long respected books on tactics proscribe , with illustrations , certain specific grimaces which must accomnau each attitude with the gun or spear drill I These "mugs" are supposed to frighten the foo. At Canton , where arms of American patterns are now being manu factured , the Eomit'gton and Spencer rifles have been enlarged to n caliber of ono inch , with barrels six feet long. On being told that sutrti a length was exces sive , u Chinese gun factory superintend ent replied that "ho knew it , but the Increased size gave the weapon u more formidable appearance. " China is the only country in the world where the profession of arms is not hon ored. Thcro. on the contrary , it is hold in the utmost contempt. The people luivo a proverb that says : "As ono would not employ peed iron to make u nnil , so ono would not UFO a good man to iniiko n soldier. " Branded us the refuse of Hocioty , the warrior class hits boon condemned by government policy to hopeless ignorance. Preserving traditions antedating the invention of firearms , ollieors of the army need linvo no education , being merely required to bo trained atlothecs to be export nrehors and swordsmen , and to swing heavy weights. The Chi nese omuiro has ever held aloof in gloomy pride from intercourse with other pqoplo of the world. From its point of view they arc nil barbarians , most fitly described as "foreign devils' " a term at oneo of contempt and hatred. Its disastrous war with England sixty years ago did not prevent the Son of Heaven from provoking a second con flict with the sumo power a few years later. On this latter occasion Iho occupant of the Dragon throne , ruling -100,000,000 people , was unable to prevent a Euro pean army of 20,000 men from marching o Pekin , where- the most beautiful of he royal palaces wore destroyed by the nvaders in retaliation for cruelties in- lictcd on prisoners by the Chinese nlid erms' of pence were dictated to the mperor. Never in the history of the . vorld ' was there exhibited such an illus- rntion of the superiority of discipline ind science over the brute force of num bers. bers.The The natives resisted the invaders with i-nntic courage , but they hail no chance n light against European soldiers rained in the art of war at its highest development. They gazed awestricken on the lleot of frowning fortresses sail- ng up the river toward the capital city. n every armed collision they were shot ilown like sheep. Some of the European irisoners taken by the Chinese were ikinncd alive , their bodies being aftor- vard burned. The oars of others were cut off. United States soldiers and sailors captured in war by these heathens might expect similar tronttmont. The latter are by disposition cruel. The rebellions which mccur from time to time in the Flowery Land are commonly prolonged for many rears , ns in the case of the great Tai- ; > ing conflict , for lack of n respectable irmy. When they are filially ended .here is always a wholesale butchery of hose engaged in them. Balloon tonight and tomorrow night. WHY THE DEAL CLOSED. lie Was Ilcntlnj : ttio Dunk , lint IIIn Friend Gave Him Awny. "I had n curious experience when I irst struck Seattle , " said a-well known jamblor to a Seattle Press-Times re porter last evening , as ho stood in front of the Dclcho saloon on Ycslcr avenue , near. South Second street. "That was ono time when I wasn't very glad to meet a friend and wlion his 'hollo' ' to mo probably cost several hundred dollars of a good banker's monoy. "I had been placing pretty lucky down in Denver and up in the Cripple creek \ country , and came up to tlio sound by way of Portland. Don't know why I came , but just came. I didn't find many of the boys whom I knew , but soon got acquainted nnd wns moving around having a good time , but not playing any. I had a good deal of money and was enjoying - joying a few days of leisure. Ono even ing I sat down in front of a faro layout and was keeping cases myself. I didn't know the dealer from Adam's orphan and didn't pay much attention to the game. I was simply chipping along waiting for the cases , keeping about oven and seldom making more than ono bet nt the start of n deal. "After nwhilo my attention was called to ono player. In fact , about all of them had dropped out but us two , and as I was noticing my own play only enough to tseo that hots were properly paid , I had to notice him. Ilo bcumed to have plenty of money , and was drop l > ping a good deal of it by placing it on the high card , . mH "Now , there nro a good many things about nftrro box that everyone la not on to , but with a fellow who makes his bread and butter on the green cloth as isI have for years , Us an old acquaintance. I own a little ono that I got from Gilford down in San Diugo a year ago , and I practice with it Bcmi-oucaslonolly up in my room when I haven't any thing else to do nnd nothing particular to think about. , "When I noticed the follow loto his lam seventy-seven years old. f and have had my age renewtd 7M0 at least twenty > earsbytlieusu of Swift's Specific.

The man with the money must have boon greener than the cloth in front of him , for ho didn't tumble to the dealer , who was working very raw. Ho wns putting tin moro than half thu deck for the high card to loose. Ilo didn't pay a bit of attention to mo , and so I did to him. I have a pretty peed memory , beeauso I need it in my busi ness. It was no trouble for mo to watch him shufllo and romombar eight or ton turns from the top , and of course I could catch the last turn. .Ilo wns put ting up for the other fellow , and , though 1 was just playing lucky , 1 didn't ilay ) mnny cards * open , but had my chips lending over from some out-of-the-way card' to the card I know was going to win , nnd was , of course , apparently as much surprised as the dealer when it was ficcn that my chips led right. "Tho dealer was busy and was accom plishing % whnt ho wns striving for ; I was busy , too , and equally successful. The result was that In two or three deals the moneyed gentleman had dropped cloeo on to $1,000 , while I was fully that much to the good , and the dealer was appar ently not noticing Unit his hard work was accomplishing very little toward in creasing the bank roll. "About that time Hiokobaugh of Loa Angeles walked into the room , andstop ping near mo , in surprise , said : 'Hollo , Loin , what are you doing in this coun try ? Thought you'd gene into mines in Colorado nnd quit faro. ' 1 looked up , and Was of course surprised to gee him , but I know the httlo game in which I was not taking much interest was up. "Tho dealer looked at me a moment and said : 'Say , Rick , do you know"this gentleman ? He's been playing mighty lucky.1 ' 'Klckobaugh glanced nt the great stack of chips in front of mo and sarcas tically remarked : 'Lucky h ! ' "Tho dealer looked sold , and at the end of that deal quietly turned down the box and cashed the chips. * "Of course I didn't have the heart to call his hist turn , though I know it from tlio time the cards were boxed.
