The worst disaster which any of last season's grain fleet from Portland en countered was that of the Ancyra, which collided -with the British bark Heathfleld' a few days after leaving the Columbia River. Both vessels were seriously dam aged, and put Into San Francisco for re pairs. The case came up for adjustment In London, and the last Issue of Falrplay prints the following: "ThlSK collision occurred In the North Pacific.

It was maintained In de fense that a good , look-out was not kept On the Ancyra, that she wrongfully at-tem-ptodJtoross ahead of the Heathfield, and at an Improper time ported her helm.

If you want to grow rich In China be come the "head of a guild of beggars, thieves, or lepers. Nankin, Pekln and Tien Tsin are the headquarters of the most powerful of these guilds, and their rulers are wealthy and respected. The "king" of a clan of Chinese vagabonds of tnese classes de rives his Income from a tribute rendered him by his wretched subjects, and also levies a sort of blackmail on traders and merchants by undertaking to keep their shops, stores, and houses free from the particular pests which he controls. From these two sources he realizes a large Income, and is enabled to live in a large house, and keep up great style In his mode of life. Each clan nas a particular utstrict of the city given over to Its oper ation, beyond which Its members are for bidden to stray. Horrible self-mutilations are practiced by the beggars of China In order that their deformities may exclta compassion ana leaa to profit. If you see a blind man soliciting alms in a Chinese street. it la 10 to 1 that he has himself destroyed his sight. On certain days the beggars go about In gangs of from 50 to 150. On these occasions shopkeepers are only too glad to comply with tne "king's" de mands for blackmail, In order that his subjects may De Kept out of their shops. A king of Chinese thieves knows every thing that goes on In his district. He knows who committed certain thefts, and where the stolen property Is. He, like his brother of the beggars, has a double source of income. A large percentage of the profits made by his subjects is claimed by him, and woe betide them If they at tempt to cheat the autocrat. And, If a foreigner is robbed, he generally can. by paying the "king" a certain sum, re cover his property. Property stolen from Chinamen Is never brought back. Every Chinese city has a leper house outside Its gates, and most of them have two or more. As In the cases of the beg gars and thieves, there Is an executive head, called the "king of the lepers," who controls all lepers and makes rules and compacts, which must be observed. xnese unfortunates are numerous through out the empire. When in the first stage of the disease they are brought to the leper houses. Good carets taken of them as long as their relatives can meet the demand of the "king." But no matter how wealthy their. fami lies may De, the "king" eventually drains them of every penny, and both the leper ana his relatives often have to. turn beg gars. The poorer lepers are assigned to miserable, unclean huts, providing poor shelter against bad weather. ADDITIONAL TOURIST J5ERVIQB.

CToaoerxal Memory of tie EmBesxler DeflcttttoB Reaches tne Bum. of 9101,600. CINCINNATI, Nov. 19. The expert who have been working today with Re ceiver Tucker on the books of the Ger man National Bank at, Newport, Ky.t place the shortage of Frank W. Brown, the mlsslngv assistant cashier and Indi vidual, bookkeeper, at 8191,500. According to reports from those who were with Brown when he left last Tuesday night, he had less than 8500 with him. Brown's salary was only 81500 per year. 'Cases are now cited where he spent more than that amount In one day. His bondwas for 810,000, and It is good as far as 'it goes. United States District Attorney Hill will arrive tomorrow from Paducah, when it is said criminal proceedings will be begun. The Federal detectives . have cerjtaln persons under surveillance, and there are reports tonight about arrests that will follow on the arrival of District Attorney H11L During the run on the German National Bank last Saturday, 8200,000 was secured In Cincinnati to bridge ovqr the trouble. This was returned to-, day, and Receiver Tucker had other mon eys and papers also transferred to Cin cinnati. Brown's system required a wonderful memory. The experts say he carried In his head the figures that enabled him to call on! correctly a lot of false entries in a way to throw the clerks who were do ing the "checking" with him oft the track. A depositor would put in 83100, Brown would enter the proper amount of the deposit In one book and enter it as 8100 In another. He would take the dlf-. ference, 83000, himself. Then, when it came to checking up, he would handle one of the books. Another clerk would check and Brown would call off. Instead of calling 8100, which appeared .as the amount of the deposit on the book which he was handling, he would call It as 83100, thus making it correspond with the boot in the hands of the other clerk. He also, It Is alleged, worked it in an other way. A depositor would draw out 8100. Brown, would make the proper en try In one book and enter 83100 In anoth er. When the depositor had his account checked up, the figures were taken front the book in which the correct entry had been made. When the bank officials looked to see what amount was due the depositors .they were given their in formation from the books, which showed that 83100 had been withdrawn. Brown had memorized all the individual ac counts, and the experts found no private marks of any kind on the books. The general ledger was kept correctly, and balanced with the cash, while the Indi vidual ledger. It is alleged, was fixed to suit Brown's purposes, the former being the one that the bank officials examined. StochJiolders' Meeting Called. CINCINNATI, Nov. 19. The directors of the German National Bank at New port, Ky., Issued a call for a meeting of stockholders Wednesday, at which time a proposition will' be presented for such an assessment as will Insure the re-opening of the bank at ah early date, and, if possible, prevent the appointment of a permanent receiver to wind up the af fairs of the concern. The heaviest de positors have already agreed to withhold all claims. Appointment of a Receiver. WASHINGTON, Nov. 19. Controller of the Currency Dawes has appointed Oliver P. Tu,cker, .National Bank Examiner, tem porary receiver o the German National Bank of Newport, Ky. Mr. Tucker tele graphed the Controller that he had taken charge, owing to the discovery of avde falcaUon amounting to about .8195,000, and thereupon the controller appointed him. temporary recelyer. The ofllclals here consider it astonishing that a defalcation amounting to more than the reserve of the bank, could have remained undiscov ered for any length of time, but they at tempt to offer no explanation, as Mr. Tucker has not yet furnished any details. The last examination of the bank was made in May last.

London News. One canont help feeling that W. 8. Gilbert, with all his genius J or evolving topsyrturvy ideas and impossible situa tions, has missed , a fertile field of- ob servation in China, for in that land of eccentricities and surprises everything Is "contrariwise," as Tweedledee would style it- I had. not been many days in Shanghai before I discovered that China Is indeed an empire of the dead Instead of the living, as a recent author has pointedly remarked. Its glories are all In the past Instead of In the present tor future, and It rejoices In the fact. Al though China gave- birth to the man who first produced gunpowder, the in ventor of the marlner'B compass and the discoverer of movable type, none of these inventions was ever profitably util ized. It was proper for awlse man to make the discoveries, but It was entire ly Improper for a wiser man to im prove upon them. J. D. Ball, a humor ous and caustic observer, remarka that a -Chinaman laughs when he tells you his fathers or mother," brother .or sister Is dead. On the other hand, a bride that did not wall throughout the ' marriage ceremony as if she were the chief mourn er at a funeral would be considered a fraud. I remember its being Impressed upon mo when in China that Kipling was per fectly right when he said that you must never "hustle In the East." You may call a dozen times on a man with whom, you 'wish to do business, and he will talk about the weather" and the health of your relatives and a score of trivialities,' without once approaching the real sut Ject-matter at issue. Suddenly, in the dead of some night, he will eagerly re quest the honor of your presence and fix up your deal then and there. When your are merely chatting with him, your Chinese friend will ask your age and compliment you on being old; he will want to know your salary, income or what you are worth, and make various, other polite inquiries which we consider impertinent. On the other hand, it Is better for you not to ask after his wife or daughter. He will trot out his sons with pride for your inspection, but he ware of complimenting him on the shubby cheeks and healthy appearance of his baby boy, as any accident or ail ment happening to befall the youngster would infallibly be laid at your door. You have doffed your hat on entering, but he has put on his to receive you, and places you on his left as a mark of honor. He locates the Beat of Intellect In the stomach, and If there is some thing that he canont recollect, he will tap or scratch any part of his anatomy rather than his head. He will perhaps show you With pride the set of coffin boards presented to him by his dutiful son. He shakes his own hands Instead of claspjng. ypura, and in lieu of speed ing his parting guest his farewell to you Is, "Walk jslawly," y v I remember traveling .from. Shanghai to Soo Chow and the great Yahgtse Kiang River by way of the ,800 Chow Creek and the Grand Canal It is an extraordinary fact, but though the flow oU the former, is indubitably southward, and we proceeded up stream, the further we ascended the river the wider it be came I cannot explain it, except on the hypothesis that China is the true land of "through the looking-glass," where everything is contrariwise. Lewis Car roll would have been much interested to learn that one of his whimsicalities, the cleaning of boots with whiting Instead of blacking, as with us, 'is religiously observed in principle in the Flowery Kingdom, where the thick edges of the soles are carefully whitened. As a gen eral rule the women wear socks and the men stockings. Battledore and shuttle cock Is played by us with both hands, but a -Chinaman uses his foot and kicks the shuttlecock. Black is mourning with us; white, gray and blue with the Chinese., Turning to literary and scientipc mat ters, topsy-turvydom Is still rampant. In Chinese books the end is the begin ning, and the beginning is the end; tho lines of printing are perpendicular In stead or horizontal, as with Western na tions. Footnotes are on the top margin (except the Irishism), or occur, in the body of the text, and, the title Is on the edge. The Chinese compass points to the south, not to the north, and instead of talking about northwest, northeast, south east and southwest they say westnorth, eastnorth, eastsouth and westsouth. Fractions with them are turned upside down, and Instead of f our-sevenths a Chi naman will say sevenths-four. Lastly, we may note that -man is the beast pf burden in a great part of, China, and not only does the coolie carry his fellow-creature, but will even perform the same office for his pig. Hunting: Bir4s With a 'Camera. The World's Work. Only at first did the twners of the war blers' nest object-to my Intruding, and by various mefihods did they try to coax me away from their home. First one and then the other would feign broken wlnga, and, half rolling, half scrambling, they would make their way dpwn the .steep hillside, in the hope of luring me-away. Then, finding that I was not to he tak en in even by Euch anartful deylce, they endeavored to accomplish their object by scolding at me.

Governor Rogers, Assistant Attorney-General Vance and Supremo Judge W. H. White were asked for their opinions as to William J. Bry an's defeat In the recent Presidential election, and, as prominent members of the Democratic party, what, in their opinion, should be the policy of that par ty in the future. Governor Rogers' reasons for Bryan's defeat are as follow: "The cause of Bry an's defeat is the fact that he was too radical in the stand taken. Morally and ethically, he was right, but It is now a proven fact that he was far in advance of the majority. In order to be successful-at the polls nothing can be advocated which does not meet with the approval, not only -of advanced thinkers, but of that great majdrity easily Influenced by immediate surroundings. Burke, the English statesman, long ago laid it down as a fundamental proposition that" in the government of a people not abstract right but expediency must be followed. When Iflrst read this I was disposed to doubt its correctness, but sorrowful experience has convinced me of the substantial truth of the statement" Attorney-General Vance gives the fol lowing reasons for the losing flght of the Democratic candidate: "A general belief among the voters that any change In the Federal Government might Inter rupt the comparatively .prosperous con ditions existing. A determined combina tion of capital to prevent no Individual of avowed opinions against trusts to be elected President. A disinclination of the general public west of the Missouri Riv er to throw down a war Administration." Mr. Vance believes the future of the Democratic party should and will be a steady adherence to Its policy in oppo sition to imperialism and militarism In any form, from the importation of AsIaU lc labor to combinations of capital in trade. He is also of .tne opinion that tho monetary reform as announced in the Chicago and Kansas platforms will con tinue to be a paramount issue." Supreme Judge White said: "I think Mr. Bryan'B position on the question of the retention of the Philippine Islands lost him many thousand votes In the State of Washington and throughout the Na tion. On this question the old soldiers and their friends they could Influence were against Mr. Bryan and the Demo cratic platform. As to the policy of the Democratic party in the future, I think it should drop all this talk about free silver and wbrk for live issues." IDENTITY OF OMAHA SUICIDE.

South Glad It Was Beaten. New York Commercial Advertiser. The sulky indifference with which the Southern people voted for Bryan and their undisguised satisfaction at his de feat is illuminated by the news of In dustrial development there, set in motion as the result of the election. The South ern mills and factories share to the -full In the flood of new contracts and orders. The languishing export trade of the iron ports has "revived, and New Orleans re quires Increase of shipping facilities. This Is not all. The South Is the only easily accessible part of the country that still has great neglected resources of natural wealth. There has been little exploita tion f these for the last 10 years. Such enterprises require large capital and long credit and make slow returns. Only since election are thty beginning, and the first example is in the South. A 810,000 POO cor poration has been formed in Baltimore to acquire 33,000 acres of timber and min eral land In Missouri and develop It with railroad and town building, mines, quar ries and reduction works.

When this little wolf referred to was caught, the Indian, boys killed ita-saethe and then dug up this little fellow, to gether with three or four sisters a&d brothers, and brought them In for Mia as pets. v My jllttla- playmate's parent bought this one, and my little playmata and myself had great times muffing friends with It and teaching It how to drink milk. Of course. It was very tlml4 and shy at first, and for two or three days would eat nothing at sUll but W$ would dip our fingers in warm ptflk &&& then let it suck our fingers, and In thl way It became very friendly, though) when we first attempted to go near It It would snap and snarl at us, and dlsplaywS" a very "vicious nature. Soon It cam to1 know my little playmate, and afterward, became a very affectionate pet; but to stranger and to the. other domestic pets It would-never be friendly and woM rather-sneakj away by itself than, to stay around and be sociable.
