Chicago Record
Tha front and rear platform of Hal
ted street caiejjn Chioago hare been
juipped with bracket mirror. The
object of thli innovation ii to enable
the motorman to tee that all the paa
tengeri have alighted lately before he
ttarta the ear. It i oonridered a fine
ttroke of bu linen in ao far ai it affeota
the aafety of women who alight back
ward, but the Habted itreet conductor!
ay the traction official who had the
mirror, installed knew very little of the
nature of women. The conductor'.1
theory waa demonstrated Sunday. It
wai conclusively proven that the mir-
rora are a grave menaoe to itreet traffic
in Chicago. Miu Ethel Morriaon, of
4787 Halited itreet, waa about to
alight from a car, when the caught a
glimpae of the mirror. She had already
eized her akirti preparatory to stepping
from the platform to the pavement,
but aha dropped them like a flash.
The mirror had revealed tha terrible
fact that her Tommy Atkins lid waa on
crooked. She aet it straight. While
she was studying the effect, the con'
duotor, not seeing the young woman
on the front platform, impatiently rang
tha go-ahead signal. The motorman
didn't want to start the car and cast
nervous glanoea at the young woman,
8he waa peacefully oblivious, having
discovered that one of her side oombs
was not in the proper strategic position,
She fixed that. "Ping ping" rang the
bell. Miss Morrison calmly unclasped
a cluster of violets and moved them
one eighth of an inch north by north
east. By this time the conductor was
ringing a veritable tattoo on the gong.
But the lady discovered that moving
the violets necessitated a change in her
neck ribbon. She made it Passen
gers were saying harsh things nnder
their breath. Street cars were stalled
for a block. Meanwhile the lady was
again readjusting her sky-piece. The
situation aroused the curiosity of the
stockyards police, and just as Sergeant
Delaney and the conductor ran around
to the front platform to see what waa
(be matter with the motorman, the
girl with tha Tommy Atkins, having
got it adjusted to suit her ideas, tripped
lightly tff the platform humming that
beautiful ballad, "Forever." "The
mirror has got to go," said the conduc
tor to the sergeant. "Tbey have1 taken
them out of the elevators in the big de
partment stores because the women
folks dilly-daliied so long, and I can't
see why they should try to make a
dressing-room out of a street car plat
form anyhow. The traction problem
is bad enough already without mix
ing it up with back hair and shirt
waists." The JapeaeM War

When I first went to Japan, a good
many yean ago, I was employed by
the government to give inetruction in
agriculture and the use of tools," said
Charles Sydney, an English resident of
Tokohoma. At that time the little yel
low men knew comparatively nothing
of labor saving devices, and in all Japan
as simple a tool as an auger was not
to be found. When I demonitated the
wonderful efficiency and simplicity of
this implement, my students were per
fectly delighted, and I knew I had
made fie biggest sort of a hit. Shortly
afterward, to my great chagrin, my en
tire outfit of assorted augers waa stolen.
Tha loss was serious one, for it meant
a long delay in some construction work
which waa to be a part of the course I
had mapped out. A thorough search
was made for the tools, but in vain,
and I resigned myself to their loss.
One morning, about two weeks after
the theft, in going to my shop, to my
great surprise I found laid out on a
bench the missing augers, and by the
aide of each a brand new one.

amoKB CAMB OUT OF TBI BABTB
Greensboro Correspondent, B.
There waa a weird panic among the
negro laborer! employed in excava
ting for the foundation of the three
story brick building to be erected on
tha "Bob Glenn" drug store lot ad
joining the Guilford Hotel. Mr. Glenn
waa in MUlikan fc Bain's real estate of'
fioe, adjoining the lot being excavated
yesterday at 4 o'clock, when a negro
rushed in, with hit eyes bulging and
hia akin pale from fright, and ex.
claimed, "Mizzer Glenn, hells sho' broks
loose out hyear we's all left, de mules
is run an de hole yerth back dare to da
rare er your sto' er spoutin' faar." Mr.
Glenn didn't even hurry or get ex
cited at this ominous announcement,
but he hastened to the rear of the lot
to calm the fears of the excited work
men and corral them back as well as
the two double mule teams left to get
away from the eruption from the lower
regions as best they could. There was
the fire and the smoke ooming through
the ground in a spot midway between
the rear of the old building and the
furthest limit of the new one. While
there was no belching or roaring of
flames, suggestive of the scriptural hell,
there waa a white little tongue of fire
creeping from the gronnd and a dis
tinct smell of brimstone. It all came
about in this way: Mr. Glenn said that
thirty years ago he and his father buried
a large bottle in which waa two pounds
of phosphorus in water, it having to be
kept that way. It waa in the rear of
his store and later when he went to get
it, could not find where it had been
buried. Afterwards a wood shed waa
built. This had been torn down for
the excavation of the larger new store
and the plow reaching a foot and a
half beneath the surface had broken
the glass jar, the water had run out,
and the phosphorus bad nothing to do
but get afire and spread itself. Come to
think of it, most anybody would have
run, including the mule, to have such
a thing happen to them while peace
fully turning the sod of mother earth
with the peaceful ploughshare, all un
suspicious of these kind of things lying
under the surface for thirty years-,
awaiting for somebody to give it a
chance to burst out a burning and scare
somebody.

e An entry in the Senate Journal, Deo.
6, 1777, has been discovered which
shows that the good oounty df Meck
lenburg had ideas on temperance even
more radical than her ideaa of free
dom. John McNitt Alexander the author
of the Mecklenburg Declaration of In
dependence of May 20, 1775, who rep
resented his oounty in the State Sen
ate two years later, introduced a bill
concerning liquor which went a bow
shot beyond anything which ha been
proposed by any of his distinguished
suooessora of recent years.
State Records, Vol. XII, page 180,
reads:
"Mr Alexander moved for leave to
bring in a bill to prevent the distilla
tion of wheat and corn for the purpose
of making a spit thereform, oommoa-
ly called wiakey. Ordered he has leave
on which he presented the said Bill."

TBI rOFIJLATIOH OP CHINA.
In Tho National Geographic Maga
zine for June Bear Admiral Clark, of
the United States navy, expresses the
opinion that the population of China is
greatly over-estimated. The admiral
pointo out that it waa first popularly
put, aay forty yean ago, at 230, 000,
000; then came an advance to 8C0,
000, 000; now we hear of more than
400, 000, 000, and this without any
thing like a census of the Chinese
people ever having been taken, though
probably tha Chinease authorities at
Pekin get report! concerning the pop
ulation of the several Chinese prov
ince. "The published informatiqn,"
say Admiral Clark, "must have been
derived mainly from travelers, mission
aries, diplomat and naval otlioeri."
Tha admiral continues:
From my own observations during
tha three yean I waa on the Asiatic sta
tion, I would say that there are less than
200,000,000 of people in China. I spent
several months in each of the prioipal
seaports from Tien Tsin, in the north,
to Canton, in the south, and five or six
month in the valley of the Yangtae,
going as far inland aa Ichang, a town
nearly a thousand mile from the sea,
and beyond the reputed papulous dis
triota. I noticed that the country peo
ple, instead of living on farms, these
wen generally small and often widely
separated.
"The cities were limited in area, one
or two storied houses being the rule.
No lofty buildings. Canton does not
cover more than six square miles,
though it is the most populous city,
with the exception of Pekin. Ia the
northern part we saw gardens and
unoccupied ground. Cimpare this
with Manhattan Island, with its twenty
two square mile and lofty tenement
house.
"The presence, all over China, of
tigers doe not suggest a land densely
populated."
On these observations tho admiral
his conclusion.
Lire laved By Quick Wit.
' Quick wit is of more value to an
officer than being a good shot," said a
polioeman in Kansas City, Kan., re
cently, reports the Kansas City Star.
"I know a negro polioeman who saved
a woman' life by knowing what to
say at the right minute. It was this
way: A man became orazy one morn
ing with a knife in his hand and be
ran into the kitchen where his wife
was at work. The woman ran into
the yard, screaming for help. The
crazy husband caught her, and was
standing over her with upraised knife,
when a negro policeman came around
the corner about 20 feet away. He
could not reach the man in time to save
the woman, for the knife was in the
act of descending, and to shoot might
result in injury to the woman.
" 'God Almighty tell me to kill you,'
the crazed man said.
'I' God, and I command you to atop!"
"The knife fell from the hands of
the insane man, aa he turned his eyes
to the sky from whence he supposed
tha voice had oome. Before he learned
how ha had been tricked, they had
handcuffs on him."
A Saake Bate Twelve Chicken..
Mr. John T. Kell, of Fort Mill, S. C,
ia not certain whether a snake eats
grass or not, but he does know that one
devoured twelve of his small biddies the
other night. The evidence against his
snakeship ia of a circumstantial nature
but the web i close and secure. The
chickens disappeared between suns and
no trace of any varmint was to be found
on the premises but when the sun came
out, and shone brightly the next day,
tha old colored cook reported to Mr.
Kell that she had seen a terrible big
chicken snake lying basking in tb sun
near the house when the chickens dis
appeared and she counted a round
dozen swollen places, which she took
to be impressions of the chickens,
about the middle of the body. Mr.
Kell win aet a baited book for the ser
pent and try to catch him.

BiTB THBBB BBBlf LEAK
Charlotte Observer.
According to a Washington special to
The New York Journal of Commerce,
the charge of Secretary Cheatham, of
tha Southern Cotton Growen'ssocia
tion, that advance information as to
the recent estimate on the cotton acre
age had leaked from the Bureau of
Statistic of the Department of Agri
culture, have taken a more serious turn
than at the outset they were expected
to. A serious iovettion of the charges
is in progress. An assistant statistician
has been suspended and Statistician
Hyde, the head of the bureau, has been
called back from a trip to Europe.
Evidenoe tending to show that there i
truth in the charges hat been developed
and there is a growing belief that ad
vance figuna leaked on the ginners' re
port on the current crop. Upon state
ments made at the time by Mr. Hyde,
showing the impossibility of accurate
information being arrived at until the
final figures wen made and officially
announced, a majority of the people of
the country based a belief that the
charges of leakage were ill-founded, lu'
the late news from Washington put a
new face on the subject and is oalcu .
lated to raise doubts in minds which
were before free of suspicion. The pub
lic will expect the present investigation
to be thorough; it will be content with
nothing less; and will await with in
terest the report upon the finding. And
yet if the Bureau of Statistics can be as
eisily worked as is now intimated it is
difficult to understand why the clerk
who have accevs to its figures have not
regularly utilized their source of knowl
edge to get rich in speculation, know
ing as they must the tremendous in
fluence upon the markets of the gov
ernment's crop reports.
The Capital.
The capital of the United States has
been located in the different cities as
follows: At Philadelphia from Sept.
5, 1774 until December, 1770; at B&lti
more from December 20, 1770, to
March, 1777; at Pnilsdelphia, from
Mtrch 4, 1777, to September, 1777; at
Lancaster, Pa , from September 27,
1777, to September 80, 1777; at York,
Pa., from September 80, 1777, to July,
1778; at Philadelphia from July 2, 1778
to June 30, 1783; at Princeton, N. J.,
from June 30, 1783, to November 20,
1783; at Annapolis from November,
1783, to November, 1781; at Trenton
from November, 1784, to January,
1785; at New York from January 11,
1785, to 1790, when the seat of gov
ernment was changed to Philadelphia,
whtre it remained until 1800, since
which time it has been at Washington.
No Tax for Hotels.
Raleigh Post.
The state auditor has received notice
from sheriffs that certain hotel keepers
in the state will not pay the tax levied
in the revenue act by tbe last legislature
on hotels for tbe reason that the sec
tion of the act is defective in that there
is no tax levied on hotels charging a
two dollar rate. It provides that for
hotels charging one dollar and less than
two dollars a tax of 25 cent per room
shall be levied, and hotels charging
more than two dollars a tax of 50 cents
per room. This leaves the "two dol
lar houses" without a tax specified al
though the legislature intended to have
two dollar houses pay 50 cents per
room. The Williams House, Clinton,
is the first to decline to pay the tax and
counsel for the proprietor is George E.
Butler, republican representative in the
last legislature from Sampson county.
