THE CITIZEN, F1UDAY, DECEMBER 0, 1000. CHINESE EATING WILDCATS Frisco Highbinder Feel the Need of a Stimulant to Do More Murdere. Bon Francisco, CaL Blnce the Tee family and that amiable organization the On Ylck Tong went to war In Chinatown, the price of wildcat moat has quadrupled and la rising etlll. All over the State hunters nre gunning for wildcats It's enough to drive the cats wild. Chinamen believe that a man's food affects his disposition. Let him eat rabbit stew and he Is as mild man nered as a bunny; feed htm on roast wildcat and he absorbs ferocity with the meat Six Tees and members of the On Tick Tong have been murdered In the last fortnight. Now all the highbind ers and hatchet men of the Yees and of the tong are gorging themselves with wildcat, so as to attain the prop er frame of mind to kill a tow more of their enemies. Tee Wun Lung, a bad man natural ly, overfed himself to-day and was sent to the lunatic asylum. Besides having acute Indigestion, ho was as wild as the wildest wildcat In the Sierras. Tu Sing Low, a prominent member of the On Tick Tong, is In a hospital. After a hearty meal of wild cat fricassee, Tu Jumped from a sec ond story window in the attempt to land on the back of Tee Sung Wong and scratch out Mb eyes. But Yu missed Tee and lost eight of his wild cat lives on the pavement; the sur geons hope to preserve the ninth. Wildcats are displayed at all tho butchers' stalls In the Chinese quar ter. The butchers, wishing to make hay while the sun shines, nre living exclusively on mice, the tlmldest meat available. Hardware denlers are profiting too; If a highbinder eats as much as a wildcat sandwich ho goes to a hardware shop and buys another revolver. Tho police of the Chinatown squad are working night and day, and are Slowing rather wild too. Detectives who are mingling with tho Chinese every day say that moro killings are certain before tho feud dies out. Every prominent Chinese connected, even re motely, either with the On Ylcks or the Tee family Is surrounded by a bodyguard of white men whenever he appears on the streets, as It is known that prices have been set on the heads of many by the warring factions. The hair of one doomed man Is said to be turning whiter daily, but his complexion does not change. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Lessons In "Don't" Safeguard Pupils. New Tork, N. Y.

SLID DOWN AVALANCHE TRACK. Miner Leaped from Precipice Into Deep Snow to Escape Three Beaa. Victoria, B. C P. It. Blochberger, publisher of the Westllcho Canada Post of Vancouver, tells a story of a leap for life he made with three bears behind him in close pursuit.

How They Play Ready Jokes In ths Pacific Coast Metropolis. "There is probably no city In the world where all classes meet on such free and easy terms aa San Francisco, a social Btato of affairs which has probably descended from tho old min ing days, and this haphazard equality is seldom appreciated by tho British tourist, who passes through here, on his cut-and-drled tour round tho world. "I remember once sitting in tho en trance hall of the Palace, with a well known racing man and privileged Jok er, known as 'White Hat Macarthy,' when a gorgeously appareled young Englishman, JUBt landed from a Japan liner, walked up to the office to regis ter, while his private Bervant respect fully looked on. When they had dis appeared to Inspect their apartments, Macarthy strolled up to the desk, glanced at the register book, and while the clerk's back was turned In scribed something on Its open pago, and waving me a farewell left the ho tel. "Curiosity impelled me to inspect the volumo, and this is what I road: Tho Honble Archibald James Fltz Alan and valet,' while underneath It, In 'my racing friend's somewhat cramped and shaky handwriting, ap peared the following entry: 'Mr. White Hat Macarthy and valise!'" From "My Restless Llfo," by H. Do Wlndt. A Razor Strop's Journey. A razor strop that followed E. W. Stephens around the world after be ing lost at a dozen places on the way has Just been returned to his home In Columbia from Bluo Mountain, Miss., with the usual postage-due stamps at tached. Tho strop was lost once In Hongkong and later rejoined the Stephens party In Calcutta. Mr. Steph ens got his razors In extra-keen trim and luvurlated in close shaves until he reached the Holy Land. The razor strop was again forgotten, this time at Jacob's Well, near Shecan, but overtook Itsvowner at the Sea of Gall lee. In Cairo the strop was lost again, but was recovered in Athens. At sev eral European hotels It was forgotten and made short Jumps, the hotels hav ing forwarded It with the malls to the addresses left by tho travellers. The strop has cost a dozen times Its original price In postage. Kansas City Star. House Where Stonewall Jackson Died. A few miles south of Fredericks burg and Potomac Railroad, Is the house In which Stonewall Jackson, the famous Confederate General, died, on May 10, 1863. It Is interesting to learn that this property is to be pre served aa one of the historic land marks of the Confederacy. It has been purchased by the president of the Richmond. Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad, who, it is reported, will transfer It to the company, which will convert the grounds about tho building Into a park. Stonewall Jackson d'ed a few dayB after his brilliant flank movement on Hooker's army at Chancellorsvllle, and furnish ed new evidence of his genius for war. Baltimore Sun. Learn to 'Distinguish Colors. Late experience has shown that the colorblind may be taught to name or dinary colors correctly, although they may not see colors as others do. A conductor on the Southern railway was discharged for color blindness, vWhen he began to study colored wool ens and plants, and In five weeks passed a rigid color examination! with out a mistake. Dr. Brawley haa over come the disadvantage of color blind nesB In other persons by a like course of color study. Latest from Atehloon. This Is tho latest story in Atchison: A young visiting man was declaring that the theory is all nonsense about kissing being dangerous on account of germs conveyed from one mouth to another. "I've kissed hundreds of girls," he declared, "and I'm not dead yet." Promptly one of the listeners in quired: "But what about the girls!" Kansas City Journal. Japan Lost Trade.

TELEPATHIC.f PLE TILLY Remarkable Powers of Prwllnent Woman Member of His Church Re ported by Rev. Dr. Hlllla. Brooklyn, N. T. Wives and moth ers with tolopathlc gifts may bo able now to keep tally on the convivial glass of husbands and sons it the plan reported by the Rev. Dvi Nowell Dwight Hillis, pastor of Plymouth Church, of Brooklyn, comes Into gen oral use.. His communication was directed originally to tho Rev. Dr. Isaac K. Funk, and Professor James H. Hyslop. In printing It, expresses his regret that he could not obtain more data on a subject which he finds far from dry, Dr. Hillis begins his communication with observation that a prominent woman member of his church had a grown son who had a cultivated thirst. He had been frequently ad' monlshed on the subject. The young man went to severnl cities and re turned after meeting with merry com panions, his mother meanwhile being in tho South. She returned In April and summoned her son to her boudoir and bade him sit down beside her. "Now, then," said she, as quotod In the letter of Dr. HUlls, "I want you to tell me all about what has happen ed In . Don't deceive me. I saw you In the hotel, I saw you surround ed by men, and I saw you when you took tho first drink." Dr. HIIHb adds that on another oc casion the son had been slightly In jured In a railroad accident -and that she had, although miles away, visual Ized the incident Professor Hyslop wrote for further detallB of the accurate count on liquid refreshment at long distance, but Dr. Htllts was unable to furnish them, as the chief persons concerned did not cure to give them. "It Is deplored," writes Professor Hyslop in an editorial note, "that the person mentioned in this incident would not consent to recording this experience. It might not have receiv ed such notice as It now obtains had an account of it been made. But It has been deemed wise to give an ex ample of the kind of difficulty that psychic research has to meet In con nection with persons who claim to be Intelligent and yet leave the report ing of the truth to those with whom they decline to associate." BOY LOSES BRAINS AND LIVE3. Recovers from Paralysis of the Right Arm ar.d Leg. Denver, Col. Albert D. Claggett, a boy in this city, has astounded local surgeonB by recovering from a gun shot wound 'which tore away part of his skull and brains and paralyzed his right arm and leg. The surgeons who were called In to attend him said he he must die, and tentative arrange ments were mode for the funeral. For three days the boy lay unconscious and on the verge of death. Then he rallied and regained consciousness. Notwithstanding the rally, the sur geons thought It merely temporary. They were astounded when he began to mend and to regain his faculties. Now he Is about and seemingly as well as ever he was. Notwithstanding the loss of part of his brains, his men tality also seemingly Is unimpaired. The boy was wounded when hunt ing on the plains. On that hunting trip he took with him a chum. They were having good sport when his chum's gun waa discharged accident ally and part of the charge of heavy shot m truck Claggett In the temple. Before assistance could be obtained most of the brains near the wound had worked their way out, and that was one of the things which caused the surgeons to say positively the boy could not survive the injury. OKLAHOMA BISHOP'8 VIEWS. Has Never Been In Theatre "Loving Only Honorable Occupation." Albany, N. T. Bishop William A. Quayle, of Oklahoma City, delivered an Interesting lecture- at the First Methodist Episcopal Church. Among other things, he said: I have never been In a theatre In my life, and I do not expect to be In one In the life to come. Shakespeare was In love with wom an he met. The test of character of every man and woman Is how they treat their In feriors. It Is disgraceful not to be In love. There Is not a heart In the worll that doesn't want to love and be loved. The only honorable occupation In this world Is loving. The fewer sorrows people have the more they think they have. I do not believe God sends trouble. Nine-tenths of the divorces would never take place If the principals In them smiled at the right time. The man who argues with his wife has not been long married. I would like to have a hold of the fellow who wrote that book called geo metry. Literary people cannot see a joke. The only persons who do not have fun ere corpses. Baker's Horse a Pie Fiend. Columbus, Ind. One ot the delivery horses for the Getlker bakery is named "Pleface," bocause. ot his fond ness for that kind of pastry. The ani mal got the pie habit from being fed bits of pie at Intervals by his driver. The habit has grown on him to the ex tent that be now refuses to start on tho regular deliveries until he has had his pie, and he culpa down a halt one at a bite. The animal shows a preference for minoe, yet, if Meca tary, he will eat any sort SUBMARINE 8IQNALS. American Mechanism Introduced In Waters of Uruguay. Consul F. W. Godlng, ot Montevl deo, sends tho following report on tho further efforts In Uruguay to provide safe navigation there: "Tho government ot Uruguay, in order to protect navigators from tho dangers of the dreaded English bank, located In the La Plata rivor, near Montevideo, some years ago placed a light-ship thereon, which, however, could not be Been In foggy weather, bo frequent In this vicinity. This ro cently has been remedied by the in stallatlon on the light-ship of a sys- tern of submarine bells, manufactured In the United States, In connection with the national steamer Cyarvlde, which receives tho Blgnals. The ap paratus consists of a bell submerged In nineteen feet eight inches of water; it works by compressed air, marking each reef With a certain definite num ber of strokes. "Thus, In foggy weather, when the light-ship and lighthouses can not be seen, or when the wind Is bo strong as to prevent the voice being heard, Bhlps provided with the receiving ap paratus will receive the signal that they are near dangerous reefs. In this mpnner it 1b hoped, that tho annual list or disasters recorded will bo ma terially shortened, or disappear en tirely. Pole Versus Equator. Unquestionably the Polar Circle Is steadily advancing toward the equa tor. From the time when tho earth first took form and began Its exist ence as a planet It has been slowly but surely cooling off, and it is as certain as anything In mathematics that some time in the future tho earth will be quite cold and barren of every form of life. The polar regions will continue approaching each other, and before them the various living forms, animal and vegetable, will retreat, un til finally the only home of life will be a narrow belt at the equator, which Itself will at last surrender to the cold, and the earth will be a "dead one." Jefferson's Saying. Tho expression, "The Federal Gov ernment 1b nothing more than tho American department of foreign affairs," originated with Thomas Jefferson. As is well known, Jeffui son was a "Strict Constructionist," or thorough "State's Rights" advocate. He held that the States were the cre ators and the Federal Government the created, and that Government had no powers save such as had been loaned to it for the time being by the States, for the purpose of translating (for and In the name of the States) certain foreign or Interstate business which the StateB in their separate capacity could not very well attend to. Invented Naval Torpedoes. It was not until the American civil war that any successful application of the torpedo to naval warfare took place. Its first Invention, however, dates back many years before this, the credit for the discovery being gen erally given to David Bushnell, an American, In 1777. In 1805 Fulton's tomedoes were successfully tried In Britain, b'ut their use was declined by the government, and various other ex periments were tried from time to time. Norway was the first country to order a faBt torpedo boat, which was built In England in 1873. Choose Your Words. A lady who was very plain looking called on a friend. This friend's little girl came into the room and her mother introduced her. "But, mamma, isn't she awfully homely," said the "young hopeful." "Why, Laura, you mustn't say such things, it Isn't polite." "I mennt It only as a Joke." "But, dear, how much moro of a Joke it would have been If you had said 'how pretty ahe is.' " Household Reform. The reform that applies Itself to the household must not be partial. It must correct tho whole system of our social living. It must come with plain living and high thinking; it must break up caste, and put domestic serv ice on another foundation. It must come in connection with a true ac ceptance by each man bf his vocation, not chosen by his parents or friends but by his genius, with earnestness and love. Emerson. Four. Arabian proverb: Men are four; he who knows, and knows he knows he Is wise follow him. Ho who knows, and knows not he knows he is asleep wake him. He who knows not, and knows not he knows not he Is a fool shun him. He who knows not, and knows he knows not ho Is a child teach him. Ancients Were Wise. Barbers, In the early days of the Christian era, were not permitted to talk whllo shaving a patron. Indeed, silence was so much appreciated by persons whllo under the barber's bands that mutes were preferred for this service. Enormous Sum 8pent on Roads.
