Eayne. who discusses many facts in connection with the Chinese ~ that axe of inter- Oar "Good" est just at present, t fainesc. thinks the Chinese Sunday school should go, and in the Chicago Times-llerald tells why: "The Chinese Sunday school class in American churches will probably tie abolished—it should never have been instituted. The youngest and pretti est or most charming of American so ciety girls were the instructors, and each Chinaman must have a teacher to himself. He made handsome pres ents to his instructor, fell in love promptly and' bestowed his attentions until father or brother interfered and stopped further demonstration. Their education proceeded as far as reading a verse from the Bible in an unknown dialect. After Sunday school they fin ished the day playing poker— tlhey were" heathens. A lady who had seen one of the celestials in gorgeous clothes at thg- C Street church called at his laundry to have him send to her hotel for the weekly wash, when this dKalogue ensued: "You stlanger?" "Yes." "Then bling pliceman—he know you—me not." Judge Finn of the first municipal court, New York, is one of the coolest poker players on Manhattan Island. A case was before him the other day in which the defendant refused to pay a poker debt of $'J2. The judge asked what poker was, and five lawyers, with all of whom he has often played, diffidently opined that it was played with cards. "Is it a game of chance?" inquired the court. "That depends altogether on how good a player the other fellow is," answered one of the lawyers, mildly. After much consul tation the court gave a verdict for plaintiff. The door of a big- safe in the Ken tucky state treasurer's office became jammed in some way and several skilled mechanics vainly tried for days to open it. Then a messenger was sent to the penitentiary and came back with a gentleman whose ability to open safes bad procured him board and lodging- at the state's expense for a lengthened period. In just two minutes the door .stood open and the successful expert was allowed to grin at the mechanics who had failed. When Stephen Sears, of New ITaven, Conn., madie his will he was without children and he left all his property to his wife, with the proviso that in case of issue the will was to be revoked. When he was 83 years old a child was born to him, but he forgot all about his will and died without making an other, and now, though his child lived only 23 hours, letters of administration have been issued to a relative as if no will had ever existed. An association of Chicago bachelors has been formed to establish a home of this description: "Home should mean a nice, neat and comfortably furnished flat or house, which a man may call his own, at least for the time being, where he can make a racket if he desires with out being afraid of disturbing anybody else, and where he can throw off col lars, cuffs and shoes,, and stick his feet on the parlor table without shocking u lot of silly prudes." To all who have been seasick come tidlings of encouragement. The Sax onia, with more than a thousand pas sengers aboard, recently steamed into Boston harbor on her maiden trip. The health oflicer climbed aboard. "A clean bill," said the captain, "and not a soul seasick." Many of us can now put to »ea without a tremor. One of the bulletins of the depart ment of agriculture mentions a sim ple Australian remedy for cockroach es. It consists in feeding the insects upon a mixture of flour and plaster of paris which, it is said!, they greedily devour. The plaster of paris "sets" after they have swallowed it, andJtliat is the end of them. Under a patent recently granted the handles of forks and knives are utilized for the storage of salt and pepper, each handle being formed of a tube, which has spring clips to hold it on the shank, with an internal reservoir for the salt or pepper, which is shaken through the ends. KIOTING AT AKRON. Angry Citizens Attempt to Lynch Negro Rapist. Police Fire l|»on llir Tloli and Two 112 hlldreu Arc Killed Many Per son* Wounded, Some Fatally -Columbia Hall ttiirued H) Ibe Mob. 112 Akron, 0.. Aug. 23. —Shortly after dark last night a mob of hundreds of angry and determined citizens gath ered about the city prison for the avowed purpose of- lynching Louis l'eck, colored, the self-confessed as sailant who pleaded guilty yesterday to having attempted an assault upon 6-year-old 'i'ina Maas, of this city. The negro had been confined in the city prison s made for the low er entrance to the prison. The moo forced its way in and the officers made no resistance. After sonic counseling the mob agreed to the ap pointment of a committee to search the buildinsr. A committee was ap pointed and the search was made. When the result was announced to the mob the leaders yelled: "To the jail," and a grand rush was made for that building, two squares away. Two deputies were found in charge and the keys were given up by them to the leaders, who searched the jail. Not finding the prisoner there the mob turned to the courthouse and smashed in the big double entrance doors. The building was searched and an attempt made to wrench the iron doors from the treasurer's of fice but was unsuccessful. A colored prisoner, "Hug" floward, was removed from the county jail and -was taken away with Peck. Had he been found it is believed that he would have been lynched. The disappointed mob surged back to the city prison and again forced an entrance. I'.v this time thousands had gathered and the clamor became so great that Mayor \V. E. Young appeared in a second story window and attempted to address the inol). He appealed for order, but was hooted and jeered at untii compelled to give up the attempt. At 10 o'clock the mob began a \ici otis attack on the city building, using a. battering ram on the front doors. Stones and bricks were thrown and the police in the building began to shoot over the heads of the crowd. The mob scattered and began a f'usil ade of paving bricks. The mayor and officers took refuge in the inner rooms and exchanged shots with the mob. (ilen Wade, an 11-year-old boy, was shot through the breast and died a few minutes later in Euright's undertaking establishment. A few minutes later the police fired from the building and .shot three un known mer: through the legs. The mayor at 10:.'iO o'clock had ordered out the military. J. M. Davidson, a contractor, at tempted tr> drive down Main street, past the city building. He was in an open carriage arid had his wife and little girl with him. The child was asleep in its mother's arms, when a shot from a policeman's re volver killed it instantly. The shot was directed at the mob. which had retired across the street, but it passed through the little girl's head from temple to temple. Mrs. Davidson is prostrated with grief. Shortly after the boy was shot -•omcone in the crowd fired a charge of buckshot into the breast of Fred Vorwer, a young man 25 years of age. He will die. Prison-keeper .1. B. Washer appeared in the street and was struck upon the head with a brick, lie is painfully, but not seri ously, injured. A man named Mull was shot through the leg with a pistol ball, and was also wo\mi!ed in the temple with a brick. lip to a late hour the militia had not appeared upon the streets. It was found both inadvisable and im possible to get. out the local compa nies in spite of the utmost efforts of the officers to comply with the may or's appeal for help. At 12:25 o'clock the mob. infuriated at tht' action of the police, gathered again and set fire to Columbia ball, next, to the city building. The tin; department was powerless to work, as the mob cut the hose. A part of the crowd rushed to the Standard Hardware Company store on Main street, broke it open and took all the guns and ammunition to be found in the place, Going back to the city building with these a fresh and furious attack was made upon the fortified policemen. Akron, 0., Aug. 21. —Thousands of people came here Thursday to see the ruins of Wednesday night's riot. Ti>e city hall lias been totally ruined by dynamite and fire. Company C, Eighth regiment, of Canton, has arrived, to gether with the Fourth regiment, of < olumlius. Two were killed, one fatally hurt and IS injured as the result of the rioting.

Washington, Aug. £2. —A special from Portsmouth, Va., to the Star si-ys: It is generally accepted as a fact anions' southern cotton mill men that the cotton mill men of New England who have been most seriously affect ed by the great increase of cotton mills in the south are aiding in fhe organization of the southern em ployes. The mill owners in the south charge that this sudden interest in the welfare of their employes is really a covert attack upon the soul hern mills by attempting to create disaf fection among the operatives. The mill ownfrs are opposing the organi zation and several strikes have de veloped its a result in North Carolina mills. One hundred and fifty union opera tives who left the Krwin cotton mills at Durham are yet out. Other union operatives who did not strike will work out their notices. President Krwin. of ibis mill, notified them lhat no union men would be employed and gave Ihem two weeks' notice. l r nion operatives at the Pearl mills at Dur ham have decided not to strike for the present. I'nion organizers have gone from Durham to Haw River to organize the operatives in ex Gov. Holt's mills. They have been quietly at work cti this movement in North Carolina mills for months. The movement is. tensiblv was inaugurated by New England labor unions to get all the operatives in southern mills in ilie union. THE ANTI-QUAY FACTION.

Philadelphia, Aug. 22. —The repub lican state committee held a special meeting in this city Tuesday and adopted resolutions denouncing the action of the anti-Quay section of the party in advocating fusion with the democratic party in certain legisla tive districts. The preamble to the resolutions sets forth that "it is openly charged that certain persons claiming to be republicans are en gaged in an effort to form a fusion with the democratic party, even to the extent of voting for democrats when necessary, whereby the success, of republican candidates in congres sional. senatorial and representative districts may be imperilled." l'he resolutions provide for a com mittee of seven to investigate and re port to the state committee "the names of any person or persons claiming to be republicans and guilty of the dishonorable practices a fore said, and the counties or districts in wl:k-h such efforts at. fusion may ex ist, so that the state committee may take effective action."

Flr«t I'fTort (o Krlirtf Legation* Waa < om|>o*c«l of tlarliic* ot >«• tioiiallticK—Fiulitintf Wax t'on tiuitoti* and ol tlir.Mont lick- Iterate t Intruder. Washington, Aug. 24.—The navy de partment has made public the report of C apt. McCalla, who was in com mand of the American contingent of the international column under Ad miral Seymour that, on June 10, made the first move in the relief of I'ekin, but which was cut off by 1 be Chinese Iroops on the road and forced to turn back from Yangtsun, being in danger of complete annihilation before com ing in touch with the reinforcements sent out to meet them from Tien Tsin. The force of which ("apt. McCalla's command was a part waV maile up of eight nationalities, hrilish, Russian, German, Austrian, Italian Japanese, French and American marines and blue jackets. Its aggregate strength was 2.078 officers and men, of which one-half were the Newark's men. These forces were all acting with nominal Independence, but were tacit ly under the command of Admiral Seymour and operated as one body. It is interesting to note Capt. Mc- Calla's description of how the various commands co-operated, how the I'rit. ish and Russians in turn helped to shift the Newark's three-inch rifle from one position to another when the American gun's crew was inade quat to transport it; how the Ameri cans led the advance up the railway and protected the rear in the re treat. and how. during the repeated attacks of the Chinese ifr\ the Tien Tsin arsenal, British,*' Russians and Americans in turn would spring into the breach to defend the hard-press ed outposts of sonif oilier national ity that was bearing the brunt of the attack. The co-operation of the en tire force seen x to have, been perfect, and Capt. Met alia has nothing but. the warmest praise both for Admiral Seymour and all the other officers \vlio participated in the expedition. The start of ihe international col umn for I'ekin was inaugurated after the receipt of urgent messages from both the I'ritish and \mcrican lega tions in I'ekin. The allied force was furnished with railroad transporta tion by the Chinese authorities in lien Tsin. A start was made on June iO and from that lime on the advance was made under constantly increas ing difficulties. Whole sections of track were torn up, bridges and cul verts were found wrecked, stations burned, and pumping appliances at tli»} water tanks were destroyed. The first attacks em the column were by larties of Lexers, but these-soon were joined by regular Chinese Iroops, and the little column had to figlH its wuv forward, repairing the track almost rail bv rail with flanking parties out to protect Ihe construction train, while other detachments foraged the surrounding country for supplies. The advance continued up to the 10th and was met by two messengers at different times bearing urgent re quests from the besieged b'gationej's for relief. Capt. McCalla and his ma rines finally were putin charge of the construction train by .Admiral Scvmonr's direction, and the wor> pushed as far as the city of A ang tsun. From this point the railroad was so badly crippled that evidently it was impracticable to advance fur hcr by train, and the international olumn scoured the country for horses and carts, hoping to make a oreed march to Pekin by road. The ,-csistance encountered at Lang l*ang amounted to a pitched battle and re sulted in the killing of seven and wounding of 40 of the allied forces. That 400 Chnese were killed in this engagement was little consolation to the allies, since, with a large number of wounded on Ihcir hands, and the constantly increasing force of Chi nese, in hoth front and rear, it was evidently impossible to make the forced march as contemplated. The news from the direction of Tien Tsin showed that the railroad had been destroyed in their rear and after a meeting of the commanders, it was decided that a retreat must be made bv way of the river. Fortunately, at this point, a German force from the column captured four large junks, while Ensign Wurt/- baugh and Cadet Courtney, with par tic? of the Newark's men. gathered in four large sampans. This little tlotilla was distributed among the allied forces and the whole column embarked on tli** l'.Mh for the return to 'lien Tsin. The sailors from th<> modern warships at first made slow work of navigating these unwieldy Oriental craft, but they made fair progress. The retreat was slow, how. e\ er. The resistance to the party increas ed steadily on the trip down the river until they came in the vicinity of the Chinese arsenal, where The little col umn cleared out the Chinese occupy ing the walled enclosure, and took shelter in positions that the Chinese had evacuated. Here tfle American gun was mounted on a parapet, a commanding road leading into the arsenal, and an all-day tight occurred. Three of the Newark's men were killed and I'i wounded, while the per centage of loss among the Hritisli and Germans was about the same. It was here that the commander of the Kaiscrin Augusta was killed while directing the defense from the west ern rampart. Fee I>:iiti(« a •■luoniy Picture. New York, Aug. 94.—The commit tee on India famine relief received a cablegram Thursday from William E. Fee. I uited States consul at Ilombay, chairman of the relief committee, which reads: "Conditions in famine districts are appalling. Thousands will die of starvation unless rescued. Money is needed to buy both food anil blankets. The suffering from lack of clothing is terrible. Cholera still ac tive. The condition of destitute wo men and deserted children is especial ly pitiable. Many boys and girls are in heart-rending l need." The Rmrn of ( kink are attempting to solve a gigantic problem, but they are going about it in the wrong way and will never succeed. Some people, in this country, seem to think that they have as great a puzzle on their hands in selecting a location for a home. They will certainly go about it in the wronfc way unless they in spect the beautiful fanning country on the line of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway in Marinette county, Wisconsin, where the crops are of the best, work plenty, fine markets, excellent climate, pure, soft water; land sold cheap and on long time.
