Advlc from Artemei Ward.
A certain Southern railroad was la
a wretched condition, and the trains
were consequently run at a phenom
enally low rate of speed. When the
conductor was punching his ticket Ar
temus Ward, who was one of the pas
sengers, remarked:
"Does this railroad company allow
passengers to give It advice, If they do
so In a respectful manner?"
The conductor replied In gruff tones
that be guessed so.
"Well," Artemus went on, "It occur
red to me that it would be well to de
tach the cowcatcher from the front of
the engine and hitch It to the rear of
the train ; for you see, we are not lia

prevent a cow from strolling Into this
car and biting a passenger?" Boston

"Now, that It's all over, darling,"

fortune teller told me thf.t my second
marriage would make me very happy

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. Trjere is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu

Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or lmuorieci Hear

the result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube re tored to Its normal

PASSING OF CHINATOWN.
Mature Solved the Froblent Which
Haa Tussled San Franelaco.
For mauy years the law abiding and
decent element of San Franelaco has
urged toe blotting out of Its Chinatown.
Nature baa solved the problem!, It was
too Involved for human solution, but
the earthquake and the fire accom
plished it so thoroughly that no doubt
remains. There may never be another
San Francisco Chinatown on the old
site. When the new city rises out of
the desolation which has fallen upon
the old one there will be little to recall
the alien, albeit alluring glimpse of
Asiatic life that once stood out so viv
idly amid the rush and Insistence of
Western progress.
The earthquake and the fire revealed
to the shuddering world the depth of
the Infamy that had found lodgment
there. Thirty thousand Chinese inhaD

blocks, only six squares from what

had converted the frame buildings
which covered the district Into 'plague
spots, In which they lived the strange,
discordant lives of the Oriental lower
classes. Their dnlly walk was fash
ioned after a pattern quite unknown to
those of the West, and they gave alle
giance to laws and customs entirely
distinct from those of their near neigh
bors. For years they have been a mys

was to know them Intimately. They
have defied successfully all the efforts

of San Francisco's police force to find
them out It has taken nature to pen
etrate the mask, to make positive the
dreadfus suspicion.
When the high winds which came
after the fire scattered the piles of
ashes that covered the surface of Chi'
natown the mouths of numerous yawn
ing tunnels were disclosed. The en
trances to these subterranean passages
had been concealed so carefully that
the existence of a Chinatown under
world was not known to many San
Franciscans. It Is certain that very
few white men have ever explored these
underground lanes.
In this underground Chinatown hun
dreds of men and women went to their
deaths yearly without an inkling of the
manner of their taking off being known
to the police. Some of the tunnels were
100 feet below the surface, and It was
easy to conceal all evidences of crime
committed in them. Members of the
constantly warring tongs, or secret so-
cletles, who were slain left friends who
sought revenge In these secret and far
away chambers of horror. Men who
were suave and discreet Chinese mer
chants above ground conducted dens of
Infamy and slave markets In the lower
regions. Gambling In Its most de
praved forms was the chief occupation.
It will never be known how many
human beings perished In this under
world during the earthquake upheaval.
It Is certain that there were scores of
men overcome by opium, women incar
cerated In their noisome dungeons and
helpless children who were overtaken

by the sudden tremor and the shock
which tumbled the structures overhead
Into a shapeless dust heap. No attempt
will be made to Investigate the matter.
The gaping mouths of the tunnels will
be filled with earth, and further ex
ploration of the subterranean plague
spot will be left to future generations.
But the external Chinatown that has
helped so unmistakably to make San
Francisco one of the places which the
traveling American must see will not
be forgotten soon. It was one of the
most unforgettable spots under the sun.
It was the very treasure house of color.
The tiny shops, both Inside and out
were fairly ablaze. The decorations
were lavish and wholly Oriental, and
the wares in them were even more than

only to the Cantonese. There were ar
gosies of silk such as a queen might
