openly by tho government, lint secretly.
The ltoxers are also known as the Society
of the Great Knife. Tiiey are banded to

Catholic Missions, but soon began to

"They have destroyed 700 iiouses be

TRAINMEN'S
PLUCKY FIGHT
taciting Hold-up Sixty Miles From
St. Louis The Engineer Escaped to
His Engine and Ran Away With the
Train Bloodhounds After Robbers.
St. Louis, June 4. A special to the
Post-Dispatch from Longview, Texas,
says the northbound cannon ball train
on the International and Great Northern
wus held up after midnight near Price's
Switch, sixty miles Bonth of this city
and but for the plucky fight of Express
Messenger Kutherford and Baggage
Master Strong and tho strategy of En
gineer Kich, another robbery would
have taken place.
Tho engineer saw a pile of cross lies
and lumber on the track and stopped.
He was ordered down by three masked
men, who forced the engineer and fire
man to uncouple the mail, baggage and
express cars and pull about two miloB
from the remainder of the train. The
robbers then commanded the messenger
to open the door of hiB car and failing to
got any response, made Fireman Love
break h hole in the end with a coal pick.
While this waa being done the fire
man begged the messenger and baggage
men not to shoot. Tiue meaeenger, who
was well protected by a barricade, said
he would kill the first man who entered
the hole. Love was forced in and the
messenger shouted : "Gel aside, Love I"
ob bo fired through the hole. His shot
just missed the robbers, who undertook
to kill the messenger by shooting
through the side of the car. In the con
fusion resulting, Engineer Rich crawled
upon bis engine, pulled the throttle
wide open and left the robbers betiind.
A quick run waa made to Jacksonville,
fifteen milea north. At daybreak the
penitentiary bloodhounds were brought
from Rusk und put on the trail.
This hold-up occurred near the place
where the uamo train was robbed five
years ago.

OUR COMMERCE
WITH THE ORIENT
Its Astonishing Development During
the Last jYcar Import Trade Was
Doubled.
WAsiii.vaTON, June 2. United StateB
Consnl-General Goodnow, at Shanghai,
has transmitted to the state department
an interesting statement In regard to the
Chinese commerce last year, which the
consul savs waa characterized by an as
tonishing development.
The net vdiue of the impart trade for
1899 was $188,103,778, double that of 1890.
The importation of opium was over 1,
000,000 pounds in excess of the imports
during ihe preceding year.
Tho trade in cotton goods, which had
remained practically stationary for three
years, made a great advance, rising from
$54,255,557 in 1898 to $73,571,917. In
piece goods a great increase in the im
ports of American product was noted, al
though it was considerably checked by
the high prices ruling during the last
quarter of the year.
The importation of sundries rose from
$00,058,107 to $79,318,726. The value of
the flour imported was $2,260,138, and
all of it came from the United States.
The yalue of last year's exports from
China is estimated at $139,105,123, and
this amount, as in tbecaseof the imports,
is more than double that shown in 1890.
China's exports, it is said, are at present
checked by price and inferior quality,
due respectively to the cost of trans
portation and the heavy taxation, and to
adulteration and taulty methods of prep
aration. Prices will come down, and the j
demand for Chinese wares increase, aays
theconBul, when railways bring the goods
more cheaply and the government takes
steps to prevent tne adulteration now
rampant. The exportation of tea to the
United StateB was 5,000.000 pounds in
excess of the amount sent out in 1898
"It is a humiliating fact," says Consul--General
Goodnow, "that of the total
tonnage of vessele entering and clearing
from Chinese ports laBt year, tho United
States only contributed one percent of
the total tonnage, the American flag
floated over only three per cent."
A Good Speculutluu.
Njjw Yoni;, June 4. Frank Reglid,
who married the divorced wife of Peirre
Lorillard Ronold, oged 70 In 1894, is to
day a millionaire by the death of his
wile. Reghd was a grocery boy, later an
actor and when ho married the old
woman was only thirty years of age.

A QUEER GIRL f
By S. H. Jamoa.
it
O HALL I invite her?"
lj Stella Reeves paused, with pen
poised in the air.
"Cnn I help you, Stella?" asked Mrs.
Reeves, from the depths of her easy
chair by the fire.
"I was thinking, mother," responded
Stella, "whether I should invite Myra
Garland to spend n week here. You
know that Patty Harper, Nellie Camp
bell and Jennie Stngg urc coming."
"Why not. invite Myra?" asked Mrs.
Heeves, e3'eing her daughter curiously.
"Well, I don't know," said Stella,
slowly. "She is ever so nice n girl, but
she's queer."
"How queer?"
"Very quiet, and not at all like other
girls. Sometimes I like her, and some
times I do not, and that is the way
with all the girls. She is not good com
pany, I am afraid, and yet I want to
invite her for that very reason. She
never goes home except during the
summer, and it is so dreary in the acad
emy during Christmas and Easter hol
idays. But I dare say she will not
come, anyhow."
"Invite her, Stella," said Mrs. Reeves,
quietly. And Stella did.
It was night when Myra came, the
train being late, and Mrs. Reeves did
not see her until they all sat at the
breakfast table next morning1.
All the girls were there, and at first
Mrs. Reeves mcntnlly decided thnt
Myra was only a homely girl with
brown hair and hazel eyes, and much
like other girls, but before the mea)
was ended she found herself watching
the girl with increasing curiosity. She
was queer, in her reversed, almost mo
rose, manner, in her habitual silence
and her grave, sweet smile.
"She is queer," said Mrs. Reeves tc
herself, "but I like her."
Before the day was out she liked
Myra more than ever. When the other
girls went out for a walk, Myra stayed
indoors, fed the canary, dusted the
bric-a-brac, and shook up the sofa and
chair pillows, nnd did several other
little tasks which Stella generally for
got. Within three days Myra was firmly
"stablished in the Reeves household.
She was so handy and so helpful and
so good natural, everybody said, that
Stella and the girls actually held a cau
cus to discover Why they had called
her queer, and failed to find a cause.
On the evening of the third day Ar
thur Reeves came home on leave froit:
the naval school, where he was a cadet
Arthur was only IS, but such a big
burly fellow, especially in his cape
overcoat, that you would have taker
him for 2. at least at a distance.
"You shall be our cavalier, Arthur,"
said Stella, "and I promise you shall
have your hands full."
"All right," asserted Arthur, care
lessly. "Bring on your girls; you can't
frighten a sailor."
Then began a round of gayety sue!
as -fairly took nwny the girls' breath
They made trips to the old mill am'
the abandoned powder magazine, they
went hunting and skating, and Arthui
was the guiding spirit in all their
pranks.
Myra revived her reputation for
queeruess in these expeditions.
"By the great hoop-block!" cried
Arthur, with undisguised admiration,
to his mother, as he was eating a late
breakfast, "I call her a jolly girl, and
no mistake."
"The girls say she is queer," said Mrs.
Beeves.
"Queer!" he burst out. "Well, yes.
perhaps she is,, but 1 wish there were
more queer girls liKo her. Js she rich,
mother?"
"I believe not, Arthur."
"That's lucky!" rtr,5J
"Lucky?"
"For her. She will have to work, and
sho is sure to make her mark, and it
will be n big one. Mother, I think"
"Arthur!" called Stella, outside, "If
you ever get through eating, we girls
would like to havo you drive us to the
post office."
On Tuesday Arthur's leave would ex
pire, nud so it was arranged that on
Monday there should be a picnic. It
was Arthur's idea.
"Why not?" ho asked. "It's mere
nonsense to suppose that you can't
havo a picnic rnly in summer. What's
the matter with taking the big sleigh,
loading it up with picnic grub, Includ
ing rubber blankets, in ense we want
to sit on the ground, and having a first
class time generally?"
It was ununimously voted that there
was "nothing the matter with it," and
on Monday morning the picnic sleigh
;:.,.ri,,.i v
Myra was there, even more quiet
than usual, and her only response to
the general chatter was a grnu- smile.
"What an old grandmother nhe is!"
whispered' Xellio Cnmpbcll to .Jennie
Stngg; and Jennie nodded n vigorous
assent.
"1 believe she lins some dreadful ail
ment," whispered Patty Harper, In her
turn, "nnd 1 wouldn't be surprised to
see her drop at any moment."
"Pooht" said Stella, contemptuous
ly; "it is only Myra's way."
Meanwhile the object of these re
marks sot quietly on the box-scat with
Arthur, and said never a word.
"I say," said Arthur, at length, "why
don't you talk?"
"Because 1 have nothing to say," re
plied Myra, tranquilly. "Besides, I am
thinking--"
"Of the picnic?"
Myra smiled.
"Something more important than
picnics. Have you ever been in Cairo?"
Arthur looked ot her in amazement.
"What a queer girl!" he oxcIniwd,
involuntarily.
Myra actually 'nughed.
Kobbr tl the Grave.
A startling incident, of which Mr
John Oliver of Philadelphia, was the
subject, is narrated by Jhitn as follows:
"I was in a moat dreadful condition. My
akin was almost yellow, eyes sunken,
tongue coated, pain continually in back
and sidee, no appetite gradually grow
ing weaker day by day. Three physi
cians had given me up. Fortunately, a
triend advised 'Electric Bitters' ; and to
my great joy and surprise, tho first
bottle made a decided improvement. I
continued their use for three weeks, and
am now a well man. I know they saved
my life, and robbed the grave of another
victim." No one shouldfail to try them.
