His Reasons for Running Away.

“You gin at the flrat Are, did you?” laid the colonel of a colored regiment “Yea, sah,” was the unblushing reply, “an’ I would have run aoonah If 1 had Lnowed It was cornin’.’’ i “But have you no regard for youi deputation, Sam?” “Reputation is nuffln to me, sab, by the side of life.” “Well, if you lost your life you would have the satisfaction of knowing that you died for your country.” “What satisfaction would dat be to me, sah, when de power of feelin’ It was gone?” “Then patriotism is nothing to you. 18am?” ■ “Nuffln whateber, sah.” “If our soldiers were like you, trait ors might have broken up the government without resistance.” : "Yes, sah, dat’s so; dere would hab been no help for It. I wouldn’t put my life into de scales ’gainst any guberninent that eber existed, for no tment could replace de loss to me. I ’’spect, though, dat de gubernment 'would be safe, ’nuft it all de soldiers were like me, as den dere couldn’t be no fitln’.”

One On Her Husband.

“When you’re down town to-day,* said Mrs. Jibsqwak, “I want you to get something at the druggist’s. If you can’t get It at the druggist’s you can get it of the Iceman.” “What’s the matter with you?” demanded her spouse. "Are you crazy? There’s nothing that the druggist and iceman both keep!” “Oh, yes; there is!” “What is it, I’d like to know?” “Why, pond’s extract, my dear!”

The American Working Man.

Much comparison has been made between the endurance of the Chinese and the American workingman. Those with authority spy that the average workingman of America is as superior to the Chinese as Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is to any other dyspepsia cure. The Bitters also cures constipation, indigestion and prevents malaria.

PUSHING ON TO PEKIN

ALLIED ARMY ADVANCES ON CHINESE CAPITAL. International Relief Force of 20,000 Men Begins the Forward Movement —Fifty Missionaries Reported Slain— Rumor of Japanese Repulse.

The march on Pekin began Wednesday, and the allied trOops, it is declared, will not turn back until there is a government in China capable of maintaining its international obligations. It is estimated that the expedition numbers 20,000 men of all arms, with 170 guns. The

column started toward Pekin under the general command of the Russian admiral, Alexieff. By placing the Russian admiral in command the allies settled the first point of difference and secured the prompt help of Russia in this un-

dertaking for the immediate relief of the legations. Russia has greater interests to protect than the other powers, and has a larger army in China. Admiral Alexieff is also the ranking officer in the allied armies. Gen. Chaffee has instructions to cooperate heartily with the other commanders, but so far as possible to keep his American force in -a compact body. The general went to Tien-Tsin on Monday, and instructions were cabled him there to take command of the troops already mobilized and proceed to Pekin, if the other forces were ready, Without waiting for the cavalry regiment on the transport Grant. This regiment will proceed to Tien-Tsin as soon as landed and protect that place while assisting to keep open communication with the column marching on the Chinese capital. This Government, according to Washington advices, will give no heed to the Chinese warning that the danger of the ministers depends on the discretion of the powers. This is recognized as simply a diplomatic threat that the lives of the ministers may be sacrificed if the allies march on Pekin. This Government, however, takes the position that the freedom of its ministers is not a matter for diplomatic negotiation. It will not treat with

China for his rescue. It will not make any agreement or condition regarding his rescue. Numerous communications from Chinese officials have been received at the State Department suggesting that the allies shall be kept at Tien-Tsin in order that China may be able to protect the ministers from further attack. The intimation has clearly been that an attack upon Pekin will be followed by a general massacre. The Government has replied to these intimations that it cannot take them into consideration. It has lodged with China a demand for free intercourse with its minister. That must be granted without condition. There will be no change, it is asserted, in the policy of this Government toward China, but China must carry out her treaty obligations. The President will not recall the troops now in China nor check their march on the Chinese capital, says a Washington correspondent. They will move forward to the rescue of Minister Conger and other Americans in Pekin. The condition of the Chinese capital as reported by Minister Conger will be the President’s only guide in future directions given to Gen. Chaffee. There is no hope that these conditions will appear more favorable than they now do. The Government, from the information in its possession, believes that the imperial troops have attacked the foreign legations. It further believes that Prince Tuan, the father of the heir apparent, has directed the hostile demonstrations. Whatever the purpose of these attacks, they were hostile to this Government.

It is reported from Shanghai that fifty missionaries have been massacred in the Shan Si province. to a dispatch from Tien-Tsin, under date of Sunday, the Jnt«nese tf vangnard has been repulsed with a loss of 150 killed aud wounded. The Chinese fortress at Hung Hun wns stormed by the, Russians under Gen. Ajgustoff July 30, thus relieving the posts of Novokijevskoje and Postja, threatened by the Hung Hun garrison. Many guns were taken. The topographical features of the country between Tien-Tsin and Pekin are favorable to the operations of trained troops against such masses as the Chinese might collect to oppose them. The land is low and nearly flat, and the only difficulties in the way of transportation are the streams and the semi-swampy character of the soil. It is reported that the Chinese have prepared dams that will enable them to flood the country, but it is improbable that much could have been done to make these works effective. A movement up the Pel-Ho river might •ven be aided by torpedo boats;

SOME VICTIMS OF RIOTS.

Police Captain Day and Officer Lamb were killed in New Orleans by Robert Charles, a negro desperado, while they were attempting to arrest him. These murders caused the terrible riots, which resulted in much bloodshed.

LADY RANDOLPH MARRIED.

served for the family of the bride, were unoccupied, while the Cornwallis West family was not represented. The Duke of Marlborough gave the bride away and slipped away into a seat near his young American wife. The register was signed by Mrs. Moreton Frewen, the Duke of Marlborough, Winston Churchill and the best man, Lieut. H. C. Elwes, a brother officer of Lieut. West in the Scots guhrds.

Leaves Cuba for China.

The Second battalion of the Fifth United States infantry, Maj. Borden commanding. left Santiago, Cuba, on Monday for New York by the transport McPherson. The companies at Guantanamo and Baracoa were taken aboard en route. The officers have been told to prepare for a hard winter campaign. All the men, a dispatch says, are enthusiastic at the prospect of service in China. The Cuban Constitutional Convention elections will be held l about Nov. 15.

STORY OF PEKIN SIEGE.

Austrian, Italian, Belgian and Holland Legations Barned. Dr. Robert Coltman, Jr., the staff correspondent of the Chicago Record in Pekin, who had not been heard from since June 12, sends the following dispatch from Pekin under date of July 21: “Baron von Ketteler, the German minister, was murdered by Chinese troops, and his secretary wounded June 20, while on his way to the Tsuug-li-Yamen. The foreign residents are besieged in the British legation, and have been under a daily fire from artillery and rifles. The cowardice of the Chinese fortunately prevented them from making successful rushes. Our losses are sixty killed and seventy wounded. The Chinese losses exceed 1,000. t “There has been no word from the outside world. Food is plentiful, such as it is—rice and horse flesh. Yesterday, under a flag of truce, a message was sent by Yung Lu, asking if Sir Claude Macdona Id, the British minister, would consent to a truce. The minister replied he was willing, provided the Chinese came no closer. The shell firing then ceased and everything is now quiet. We hope that, having defeated the Chinese, relief is nearing us. We are all exhausted with constant standing on guard, fighting, building barricades and digging trenches both night and day. “All the legations except the British are utterly wrecked by shot and shell. The Austrian, Italian, Belgian and Holland buildings are burned to the ground. The British legation is also much shattered. '1 he United States marines still hold a vital position on the city wall commanding the legations. After a brilliant sortie on the night of July 3, Capt. Myers succeeded in driving back the Kansuh mounted troops. During the tight Capt. Myers was slightly wounded. We fear that treachery is possible when the defeated Chinese troops enter the city. Meanwhile we are living in intense anxiety and hoping for early relief.”

WILL SAVE MANY LIVES.

Law Compelling Automatic Car Couplers Now Effective. A national statute that will result in a great saving of human life became effective on the morning of Aug. 1. I’t is the law providing that all railway cars engaged in interstate traffic shall be fitted with automatic couplers and air brakes. Hereafter any railway company that uses a car not thus fitted will be liable to a fine of SIOO for each offense. For years the labor people have fought for this law. The number of accidents on the different lines, due to the lack of the coupler, were becoming appalling. In its annual reports the interstate commerce commission advocated its passage. An average of 230 employes were killed annually while coupling cars, while those injured in the performance of that duty averaged 8,500 yearly. Outside of the accidents to employes the coupler and brake also affected the general traveling public, for had they been in use it is l>elieved that many disasters would have liecn averted. When it is shown that in the last ten years the railway accidents in the United States have injured from 40.000 to 50,000 annually and that the deaths which resulted numbered from 6.000 to 8,000 a year it can easily be seen what effect the brake and coupler might have had iu preventing the horrors and preserving life. 1 he first bill for the automatic coupler and brake was passed March 2, 1803. This, however, wns Several times amended, in accord with the views of the labor organizations, and now the act has lie come operative. Since the passage of the law the interstate commerce commission has given rhe railroads two extensions of time in which to comply with its provisions. The first extension was for one year, and the last, granted last Decemlier, was for six months. The cost of compliance with the law has been enormous.

Reports 5,000 Are Massacred.

It is reported from Shanghai that the Boxers attacked the missionaries and native Christians at Paoting-Fu July 8. A foreign physician and 2,000 converts were innssacred. The Chinese general. Li Ho Keh, is now inarching ou Pekin. He has ordered bis troops to exterminate all Christians. Already one French prjest nnd from 2.000 to 3,000 natives have been slaughtered.

How the Chinese Unite Words.

The Chinese unite the words in a name so that they form one word, just as we write Newtown, Hartford, or Deerfield. Sometimes we unite the words in a Chinese name and sometimes we separate them, but there is no reason, for example, why we should write Tien-Tsin when we do not write Pe-Kln. Each of these names Is composed of two words. Pe means “north” and Kin means “the capital” or the “the King’s household,” and thus Pekin means the northern capital. Tien means “heavenly” and Tsln means "place,” and thus the name of the largest city in northwest China means “heavenly place”—a name it has borne for many centuries. When Marco Polo visited the city In the thirteenth century he translated its name into “Citta Celeste.”—New York Sun.

The Welcome Guest.

The guest was at the summer hotel for his health, but he kicked just the same on the bill. “Here, by Jove,” he said, angrily, to the landlord, “your bill is simply outrageous.” “Hold on, hold on,” protested the landlord, “you forget I axn not at this hotel for the same reason you are.”
