A Divinity Strident Rented. "One day we were traveling across the plains In the caboose of a freight train." writes Rev. Cyrus Townsend Brady of ills experiences as “A Missionary In the Great West” in The Ladies’ Home Journal. "A young divinity student was with us. He was one of the ambitious kind of divinity students wbo wreck a parish or two when they begin and finally drift upon the ecclesiastical bargain counter. He was ready to argue about anything with anybody. "A greasy, dilapidated looking tramp came into the caboose at one of the stations at the end of a division and presently engaged in a heated discussion with tlie young theologue ol the disadvantages of education. He maintained tlie affirmative—that the less a man knew nnd the less education he bad the happier he was—with so much skill adroitness and showed such mastery of logic and literature that he routed the poor boy—horse, foot and dragoons—so effectively that the young man rose and went out on the platfo.m b hide his chagrin, leaving the supposed tramp chuckling over bis pipe in huge enjoyment nt his easy victory. "The bishop hats listened without saying a word, and when the student left he turned to the man and Inquired sharply. 'What college do you come from, sir?' 'Yale!’ answered the tnan without thinking. The unlucky admission destroyed the man's argument, for he was a living example of the fallacy of bis own proposition.” Europe - * City of Crime. The Italian city of Artena, situated about 40 miles from Rome, is known as the City of Crime. Ever since the sixteenth century every criminal who has escaped from prison or done his time has emigrated to Artena, aud today practically every lu habitant is a criminal or the child of criminals. Every family takes the law Into its own hands, and It is reported not a day passes without many murders being eommlttod In the sireeta. The Italian authorities have now come to look upon Artena as hopeless and remark that it Is far better that criminals should till criminals than that innocent persons should be their victims. It is said that on one occasion when 23 murders had been committed in that city in one day the fact was reported in one of the ~t a" a n Papers in the following terms: Since our last issue (24 hours before) there have been 23 sudden deaths In Artena. ’ and no further notice of the murders was taken or expected.

DIPLOMATIC CRISIS CHIXf'SE SITVATIOS sow ox,: FOR cabinets more than FOR SOLDIERS. THE PROBLEM IS A UNIQUE ONE Rumor That Germany. Russia and Japar Had Declared War Upon China Is Nc‘ Confirmed— Continued Reports o' Massacres In the Interior Coming In. Washington, Aug. 25.-Actlng Secretary Adee made public last night the following dispatch from Consul Fowler at ('lu; Eoo, giving additional information bearing on events in Pekin: F°° (Undated) | K „__ . Received Aug. 23. Mldulgut. Secretary of State. Washington; O.i the >.ld the Jtipati 'se report that the empero.. „u,l ~t al, l (. f t th 14th they rested at WauShoi, -Shatt. Th. i supposed destination Is Tal-Yuen-m province ~r shen-si. Prince ( - billg is b £ H ,ir th Li <Ded. Half th > population of the city has left. FOWL EK. St. Petersburg, Aug. 28. It Is per slstently rumored In St. Petersburg that the Russian government has re ceived a dispatch asserting that after a fierce battle inside Pekin the allies retreated, losing l.Sno men. mostly Russians It is further said that the Chinese occupied fortified positions, from which they are bombarding the allies in a murderous manner. Washington. Aug. 28.-After several days' intermission in Chinese advices the government has received two ills patches wlite]) presumably bring Its advices up to the most recent date. There are indications that the principal delays in the lines of communication are encountered between Tientsin and Pekin, a fact explainable by the newspaper advices that small bands of Boxers are operating on the line of communication of the Pekin campaign force. The fact that more than a week was covered by the latest interruption gives rise to the belief here that these attacks upon the lines of communication by Iloxory mort formidable than was supposed to be possible after the heavy losses inflicted u]m>u them by the international forces in its advance. The important dispatch was one from Minister Conger, relative to the military situation in Pekin. Unfortunately it lacked a date, the minister presumably not having yet received the department's instructions to include the date in the body of his dispat -'lx's. The state department at first undertook to have the cable companies correct this serious omlssidn. but finally concluding from internai evidence that Mr. Conger's message was certainly later than any official information emanating from the Chinese capital, the message was allowed publicity for what it was worth. It follows: Secretary of State, Washington: No Important movements since last dispatch. Military is trying to restore order No representative of th? Chinese govern* meat encountered yet. Several ministers of the tsung-11-yamen reported in the city, and are expected to arrive soon. Generals decide not to enter Imperial palace, leaving it practically vacant. Two thousand Germans arrived today. CONGER. Mr. Conger’s reference to the arrival < f 2.000 fresli German troops caused some surprise, no one apparently having closely watched the movements of the German contingent which is now arriving, with its fairly regular frequence in China, and which consequently may be expected soon to equal in numerical strength tlie military contingents of any of the European nations there represented. A significant statement in Minister Conger's dispatch is that respecting the expected appearance in Pekin of some of the members of the tsung li yamen. A natural construction to be given to this statement is that these ministers wish to undertake to represent the Chinese government formally in negotiations with the powers. It having lieen found Impossible up to this moment, according to Mr. Conge; s statement, to meet any representative of the Chinese government in Pekin who was competent to open negotiations, it may l>e inferred that if these ministers actually appear with proper credentials one of the problems connected with the present difficult situation in China will be solved. With some responsible person or persons to ileal with It may be possible for the United States to come to some agreement as to a settlement of the Chinese trouble. Another statement In Mi. Conger's dispatch relative to the decision of flic generals not to enter the Imperial palace, appears to explain the movement of the American troops which the press dispatches were unable to clear up. in relaxing the attack upon the palace gates, after capturing nil but me of them. Another event of some interest Is the order dispatching the Castine from Shanghai to Amoy, distant about 4OC miles. The little gunlioat should make the run in about two days, under favorable conditions. Her force i> snmy, but sufficient to serve the moral purposes. If there be need of such. It appears that she Is ordered to Amoy quite as much on account of representation* from the well Informed business circles ns front any official advice. The consul at Amoy agreeing with the representations of the business interests. It was decided to lx proper to send » gnnltonf to Amoy, not been use of any particular npprehenslon as to .Japan aspirations, but tu prevent rioting nt this dangerous point.

Tills cable adds nothing to the information in the possession of the department relative to military movements as it is simply Gen. Chaffee's In fated official report of an engagement previously reported by Admiral Rerney in a cable dated Taku. Aug. 20. WANTS AN OPENING Significant Message of Li Hung Chang to Empress Dowager. London. Aug. 28,-The allies, resuming aggressive operations, have taken he district west of Pekin. This statement based on Chinese authority Is cabled from Shanghai. From the same place comes tie l further statement flint Li Hung Chang has wired the empress dow ager at Hsian l'u requesting the arrest of Prince Tuan and tlie disarmament of the Boxers in order to give him an opening for negotiations with tlie powers. Evidence has been received at Shanghai going to show that Gen. Yung Lu was tlie real authority of the anti-foreign outbreak tlie empress downger, Prince Tuan and tlie others all having been persuaded by him to take an extreme attitude while he stood aside and awaited developments. American refugee missionaries in Amoy, according to a Hong-Kong correspondent. are anxious to return to the interior; but the United States consul has forbidden them to do so, and urges them to go to the Philip pines or to return to America. EXCITEMENT AT GILMAN Mob Spirit In Illinois Town Attended With Fatal Results. Gilman. Ills , Aug. 28.—At the coroner’s inquest yesterday in the case of John Myers, the jury brought in a verdict of "Heath by bullet wounds from parties unknown.” In the case of Michael Ryan, the verdict of the jury was “Death by leaden bullets fired from Mrs. Wright's house by parties unknown." The inquest over the body of Bessie Suiter was completed last evening, and tlie Jury held Mrs. Wright to the grand jury without bail, Mrs. Wright was taki n to Watseka as a measure of safety from possible mob violence. The mayor ordered the saloons closed dur ing the hight of the excitement. The intense excitement that prevailed lias now subsided and order is restored. The removal of Mrs. Wright to the Watseka jail seems to have stopped all moli talk and the law will probably be allowed to take its course Late news of the condition of George Willoughby and Peter Hauer, the two wounded deputies, is very discouraging. and the coroner will probably have two more inquests to look after shortly. It was reported at first that three of Mrs. Wright’s girl "patients" had perished in tlie fire, which destroyed her place, but this is now thought to be a mistake. . Incensed by the shooting or Michael Rjan, who accompanied constables to the lying-in hospital of Mrs. (’. W. Wright to arrest tlie latter on the charge of criminal malpractice in connection witli the death of Bessie Sal ter, a crowd formed and burned the "hospital.” In the melee John Myers, employed by Mrs. Wright, was killed; Peter Hauer, citizen, was shot through the stomach: George Willoughby citl sen, was seriously wounded, and Law renee Ryan, brother of the dead man, was wounded in tlie abdomen.

CONTAGIOUS BLOOD POISON Contagious Blood Poison is the most degrading and destructive of all diseases, as it vitiates and corrupts the entire system.

- , — ’ — vox. ay .Slim, The firs’, sore or ulcer is followed by little red pimples on the body, mouth and throat become sore the glands enlarge and inflame, copper colored splotches appear, and hair and eyebrows fall out. These aresome of the milder symptoms ; they increase in severity, finally attacking the vital organs ; the bodv is tortured with rheumatic pains and covered with offensive eating sores. It is a peculiar poison, and so highly contagious that an innocent person handling the same articles used by one infected with this loathsome disease, may be inoculated with the virus. It can be transmitted from parent to child, appearing as the same disease or in a modified form — like Eczema or ScrofuD. Many an old sore or stubborn skin trouble appearing in middle life, is due and traceable to blood poison contracted in early life. You may have taken potash and mercury faithfully for two or three years and thought you were cured, but you were not, for these poisonous minerals never’eure this disease; 'they drive it from the outside, but it is doing its work on the inside, and will show up again sooner or later. You may not recognize it as the same old taint, but it is. S. S.

Cool nnd Methodical. A lawyer who worthily bears a distinguished name occupies an old fashioned mansion on the edge of New York. His sister, who lives with him, tells a laughable story, which is reported in Harper’s Round Table, Illustrating his coolness and love of method. Recently his sister tiptoed into bis room some time after midnight and told him she thought burglars were in : the house. The lawyer s>ut on his dressing gown and went down stairs. In tlie back ball he found a rough looking man trying to open a door that led into the back yard. The burglar had unlocked the door and was pulling at It with all liis might. The lawyer, seeing the robbei's predicament, called to him: "It does not open that way, you idiot! It slides back!" The Bine Pencil. “This,” said the man who was show-1 Ing the visitors about the office of the J metropolitan daily, “is the copy read-' ers’ room. It is the place where the matter sent in for publication is boiled down to the right dimensions.” “Doesn't that make It warm?” giggled one of the young women. “No.” he replied. "But the men who' write the stuff get pretty hot over it 1 sometimes.”—Chicago Tribune. Hl. Advice. “Is It hard to propose to a girl?" asked the novice In affairs of the heart. "Sometimes it’s a good deal harder not to propose.” returned the man of worldly experience thoughtfully. “It’s I always well to b« on your guard.” He Hnd Her. It is related that when the young man who afterward became General Fremont rat» away with and married Jessie. Tom Benton, tlie great senator, made terrible threats of what he would do to the young man. He would give him roasts and bullets and hades, to ail of which Mrs. Benton quietly remarked. “You had better give him Jessie, my dear.” Wnlktns on the Walla.
