SOUTH 'SA FALSIFIERS.
Tto People of amo i Have aa Abhor
rence of Trut’.i and Honesty.
From the .Son Francisco Chronicle.
To ibis day Samoan men and women,
viili lew exceptions, wear the garments of
their savttgo days—a doth, generally of the
native make, known us the kapa, wound
round the body above the hips and falling
about fifteen inches. They tattoo their legs
and sometimes other parts of the body with
some substance giving a sky-blue color
Their modern houses are built on the im
memorial model of which every one who has
read a book about the South sea lias seen a
picture. Quite a large number of them add
to their primitive style of dress an umbrella.
Kain is very frequent in Samoa, but the
chief use of the umbrella is as a shade from
the sun. Lying so near the equator and
surrounded by sea water, which always
keeps a temperature on the surface of about
go (Fahrenheit), the average iieat is very
high, though by no means equal to that ex
perienced in tropical Africa or other conti -
nental regions in similar latitudes. It must
lie confessed that the costumes and habita
tions are very suitable to the climate, and
that it would be an act of cruelty to impose
on the Samoans any other style of life.
The civilization they chiefly need is the
enforcement upon them of respect for the
precepts of the decalogue. For lying and
for potty thieving they have few equals in
Christendom or in heathendom. When
family prayers are over at night their one
idea is, if the moon be not too bright, to
secure the household provisions for the next
day from the bread-fruit and banana trees
of someone else’s land. The white man is
their favorite victim. From him they will,
with the utmost good humor, steal anything
they can lay their hands on, even if it be
not of the slightest use to them. Iu every
store—even in the smallest shop—will be
found a most careful system of barricades
interposed between the native customer and
the goods, while the watchful eye of the store
keeper is ever upon thorn so long as they
haunt his premises. They scarcely ever
come singly to buy anything. Having no
settled occupation at any time, half a dozen
of a family or a village will accompany to
the store the fortunate one who has a dol
lar to buy something with. Hence the
necessity for barricades and vigilance. As
for the habit of lying, it may be said that a
Samoan so seldom speaks the truth (when
he thinks any object is to be gained by not
doing so) that he is never believed on his
own word. These two accomplishments of
lviug and stealing are taught to children by
their motliere* who always find it necessary
to have testimony at hand to deceive their
husbands.
THE CHLOROFORM MYTH.
An Old Detective Explodes th e Familiar
Belief in the Use of Chloroform by
Burglars.
An old detective, in the employ of Inspec
tor Byrnes, was telling a Mail and Express
reporter a blood-curdling tale of midnight
robbery.
"Why didn’t the burglar chloroform the
man the moment he got into the room;” in
auired the reporter. “You say he was
lere half an hour before the man woke
up and captured him.”
"Don’t I tell you that the man was over
6 feet tall and as strong as a bull, while the
burglar was only a boy lfi years old.”
“Yes, but what of that.'”
“Did you ever see a man chloroformed (”
"No.”
“Will you go into a doctor’s office some
time and see how it is done? Unless a man
is held down by force or submits himself
willingly to the operation it is impossible to
chloroform him.
“Yes; but this man was sound asleep. ’
“What of that; Do you know how long
it takes to put a man under the influence of
chloroform ?”
“A minute or so, I suppose.”
“Two or three minutes rather, and the
first application of the drug is certain to
■waken any living man who is not under the
influence of some powerful narcotiq Be
fore he had taken two whiffs of the
anesthetic he would have been wide awake,
and the robber would have been captured
half an hour earlier than he was.”
“But they do chloroform people some
times, don't they?” asked the reporter.
“If you refer to doctors, I would say yes,
but if you mean burglars Iwo -id say no. I
don't know a single instance, though the
public and the press believe there are many
every month. I think I can prove it to
you. Every case where a man is choloro
formed, according to his own account of his
adventure, he has recovered. How often do
you hear of men dying under the influence
of chloroform when it is carefully adminis
tered by a skilled physician ? Very often in
deed. The chloroform must be properly
mixed with fresh air, and even then the ex
periment is often fatal. Now, do you think
that an ignorant burglar could always avoid
killing his victim? Neither do I nor any
one else who lias given the subject a close
study.
"No, sir,” added the detective in conclu
sion, “I tell you, chloroforming persons by
thieves is a myth and a fraud. It is a story
oi igninated by the victims to add a more
startling flavor to their yarns and to ac
count more clearly for their weak submis
sion, which I have found is caused more by
fear than chloroform.”
Mannar in Oratory.
From the Youths' Oompanion.
Every school boy can recall Demosthenes’
action-action-action theory of oratory. Ac
cording to it the orator’s ideas and vocabu
lary are insufficient unless backed by the
physical aids of voice, manner, figure and
gesture. There are four modem orators,
whose reputation, as handed down by tra
dition, justify the theory. They are
Patrick Henry, Mirabeau, Chatham and
Whitfield.
Neither the reported speeches of the
statesmen nor the published sermons of the
clergyman account for the oratorical effects
they produced. Much must he allowed to
the great occasions, when men as inflam
mable as tinder were kindled by fiery
words. But even this fact is not sufficient
to explain the traditional reputation of these
orators. They must have spoken with
voices that expressed shades of passion,
with looks that accentuated, and with ges
tures that emphasized their breathing
thoughts.
Denton looked to audacity for success.
These four men were as audacious in their
utterances us human boldness would permit.
Henry’s famous reply to tho interrupting
speaker, “If this be treason, make tho most
or it,” is paralleled by Chatham’s, “I hope
some dreadful calamity will befall the
country that will open the eyes of the
King.”
“Order! order!” shouted the House.
“What I have spoken,” continued the
audacious orator, “I have spoken condi
tionally, but I now retract the condition. I
speak it absolutely, and I ho|>o that some
signal calamity will befall the country.”
, “I know there is hut one step from tho
capitol to the Tarpeian Rock,” thundered
Mirabeau, when denounced in the Assem
bly for his friendship to the royal family.
A greater orator than either of these
four, if wo take into account the matter and
style of his speeches was Edmund Burke.
Fancy, imagery, beauty of diction, wide
views, deep thoughts and a continuous
stream of argument are to be found in his
great speeches. Yet many of them failed
of effect when delivered, because tho speaker
did not utter them with the voice, manner,
figure or gesture of an orator.
When Burke threw a dagger ou the floor
of the House, exclaiming: “These are the
presents which France designs for you!" the
members laughed, and Sheridan said, “The
gentleman has brought us the knife, but
where is tho fork ?”
But when Chatham waved his crutch, it
became an instrument of oratory, and the
House was as silent as if awed by the wand
•fa mighty magician.
Those facts suggest tiie importance of ad
iress. It is not enough that a speaker have
o;nething to say, and can suy it in fitting
vents. He must speak it so that the hearers
bill feel it. To do this lie must be aided by
‘aloe, manner, attitude and gesture,
A GREASY MANDARIN.
Very Bad Manners of a Chinaman of
Rank—Gaudy Noble3 of ICorea.
From the Si. Louis (f lobe-Democrat.
The lino between mandarin and eooly is
sometimes verv marked and sometimes very
slight in China. In his own yuamen a man
darin has minions about him by the scoro
and he has despotic authority over them,
and can decapitate them, beat and torture
them at his will almost. Yet he suffers fa
miliarities from his servants and hobnobs
with t hem on an apparent equality that is
amazing. A captqin of a Chinese man-of
war when traveling oil a merchant steamer
quite as likely travels steerage and chop
sticks his food out of the common pans sent
down for the general mess. He puts on no
airs and seems to get on with his eooly
comrades admirably. When we were leav
ing Korea the brother of the Chinese Minis
ter at Seoul was a passenger by the same
steamer. He traveled in the first cabin, but
he was as dirty as any eooly in the steerage,
and his silk and satin brocade coat were
filthy beyond belief. Ho was a stunted
little Chinaman, with snaky black eyes and
a greasy, yellow face, and he had disagree
able ways of dropping his shoes and sitting
feet and all in the wicker deck-chairs, which
marked those chairs as something to
be avoided by the white passengers after
ward. When tucked comfortably in a
dirty little bunch or lolling at ease
he used to slip off his jade bracelet and
sit and meditatively polish it against
the side of his nose for an hour. He had a
string of servants with him, that were trav
eling steerage, and they were always
swarming on the after deck and emulating
their master in making themselves at home
in the foreign chairs. As the servants could
not be any dirtier than the master, and one
looked as much like a mandarin as another,
it was a difficult matter for the officers to
tell which ones they should drive off to the
steerage deck. As an offset to this eminent
Chinaman there were two Koreans of rank,
each with liis servant, and Korean masters
and servants seemed to be on the same free
and easy terms of equality as the Chinamen.
The Koreans wore clean clothes, let it be
said, although nothing could be more uu
suited to travel or out of place on shipboard
than their baggy trousers and fluttering
gowns of white silk or linen. The Koreans
seemed to have inexhaustible wardrobes,
and the greasy Chinese mandarin would
quit rubbing his bracelet on his nose to stare
at the Koreans as they changed their blue
silk overgowns to amethyst gauze ones or
pea-green silk ones, or took them all off
down to the 0116 short, gauzy coat that cov
ered the reed framework that they wore
next their skins. The Koreans evidently
had an eye for color, for when they had half
the rainbow on them in the way of coats
they would flourish bright yellow silk hand
kerchiefs or red-bound books.
RECALLED BY THE RAWSON
SHOOTING.
A Tragedy Under the Shadow of a
Chicago Church Wall.
From the Chicago Mail.
Tho shooting of Banker Rawson in front
of the Third Presbyterian Church, by his
step-son, on Sunday, recalls a tragedy that
was enacted some twelve years ago, one
night, under the shadow of St. Peter’s
Church wall, on the corner of Polk and
Clark streets. There is no similarity in the
tragedies, except that both occurred almost
in the doorways of churches.
Crouching under the wall of St. Peter’s,
on the night referred to, was a young girl.
That section of the city was at that time,
and is yet, accustomed to such sights, anil
the patrolman thought nothing of this one.
A young man turned the corner on Clark,
going west on Polk street, when he was ac
costed by the girl.
A good deal quicker than it take* to tell
this he was upon the ground calling for
help, and the girl flourished a knife in the
sickly glare of the lamp light on the corner,
shrieked, and started for the river. She
was overtaken and walked to the Harrison
street station, for there were no patrol wag
ons in those days. When she appeared be
fore the officers of the station it was noticed
that she was a girl of a singular order of
beauty, and that her attire was rich and of
a fashion which she did not get from any
American plate. She refused to give her
name at the time and refused to talk. A
reporter told her she had kiliod her man.
Closing her eyes a moment, she slowly and
gracefully dropped upon her kuees, and
the strangest and most pathetic prayer
came from her lips for forgiveness. Then
she pleaded for mercy for her “Billy,” and
then, the feeling which prompted the act
coming upon her again, she arose and
gloated over her act with a frenzy that
Bernhardt would have liked for a copy.
The boy recovered—he was one of the class
of that part of the town, and his name is of
no consequence now. He was infatuated
with another girl, and this had caused the
maddened beauty to watch for him,
There was no prosecution. But some
years later, when she was in tatters and
ugly and dissipated, she was arrested on
suspicion of having some knowledge of the
murder of Old Man Wilkie, on West Lake
street, hut nothing came of it. That mur
der is still a mystery.
Excursions in Paris Sewers.
From the Chicago News.
Excursions through the gorgeous sewers
of Paris —strange as this conjunction of
noun and adjective must sound—are now
all the rage in the fashionable world of the
city. A few evenings since I was invited to
accompany a select party. We started from
the Palace Chatelet at ii o’clock, and de
scended a little winding staircase, the steps
and walls of which were covered with a
green cloth, fringed by n red border. There
was not the slightest dangei of soiling our
clothes or of encountering the h ast disa
greeable odor. On arriving at the foot of
the stairs a fine display of fruits and vege
tables was the first thing to greet our eyes.
These products were from Gennevilliers.
and were grown in gardens watered by the
sewers. We got into a wagon, in which
were seats for twenty persons. Off we
went, shoved along by solid-looking fellows,
all neatly dressed. Above us was a mass of
tubes and pipes. They are the water pipes,
the two largest containing our drinking
water from the Vanne, and water from the
Oureq, which latter is used for washing the
streets and sidewalks. Then there were the
pneumatic tubes in which we could hear the
rattle of the dispatch boxes. Suddenly we
heard the passengers in the wagon ahead of
us uttering cries of admiration.
We were under the Rue de Rivoli, but
soon we reached the crossing of the Pont-
Neuf. This tunnel was lighted from end to
end with garlands of colored lamps. The
effect was fairy like. The same effect, was
produced under the Ruo do Louvre, the Rue
de Richelieu, and tho Place des Pyramides,
where precisely under the statue of Joan of
Arc appeared in luminous glass the arms of
the city of Paris. We passed along, still
following tho Rue do Rivoli, where each
house has its number iu the sewer, just as
iu the streel, until wo reached tho Place de
la Concorde.
There the electric lights, crossing their
fires with the reflection of the Venetian
lamps, turned tho square into a sort of ball
room. Nothing was wanting, not even
music. We all got out of the wagons to
embark in boats furnished with cushioned
seats. The music was in the first boat,
which was decorated with flags and lamps.
The boats woro started. Wo followed the
entire route of the Rue Royalo by the light
of fifty dazzling electric lumps. After a
quarter of an hour in this boat we landed
at the foot of a staircase, which we mounted,
and in three minutes we were above the
ground at the Madeleine. It was much
warmer in the streets than it was in the
sewers, where the temperature, summer and
winter, is always uniformly pleasant.

TIIK MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1887.
BLOWING UP CAMELS.
Remarkable Deception Practiced by
Unscrupulous Arabs.
From the Youths' Companion.
Moorish traders in camels seem to be no
more honest than Yankee traders in horses
have the reputation of being. The author
of “Among the Arabs” describes one of
their tricks, which, according to his ac
count, only an expert is likely to detect.
Such an ingenious method of “raising tho
wind” might put even the shrewdest Ameri
can to the blush. The story was told to the
author by a Frenchman, who had traveled
for some time in Algiers.
Oil one occasion, while in an Arab village,
he declared his intention of buying a young
camel. No sooner hail his desire become
known than at least twenty camels were
brought lor his inspection.
They were all fine-looking animals, in ex
cellent condition, apparently. In fact, the
only fault our Frenchman could perceive
was that they were too fat. After a proper
amount of deliberation and bargaining, he
.selected the one which appeared to be the
leanest, and paid the price agreed upon.
Tiie next morning, when he went to look
at his fat camel, he found a living skeleton,
on whose almost fleshless bones the skin
hung in large folds and whose best develop
meat was about tho joints.
The method by which the camels are sud
denly “fattened” for the market is thus de
scribed :
An incision about an inch in length is
made in each ear between the skin and the
flesh. Into this a small tube is fitted and
secured by a silk cord. There it re
mains, hidden from the observation of all
but the initiated and ready for use at any
moment.
When a merchant who is not acquainted
with the blowing-up trick conies to buy a
camel the dealer takes two tubes, each a yard
long, and, inserting one end of each in the
small tubes just described, through the other
ends two Arabs blow with all their might,
until the animal has attained the requisite
degree of plumpness. The inflating tubes
are then withdrawn and the air is prevented
from escaping by means of a cork smeared
with pitch.
The poor camel now becomes, apparently,
quite lively and frisky, trying to throw it
self on the ground, or to press against the
wall or a tree, or whatever other object
may be. at hand, so as to get rid of the wind.
It is generally too well w atched by the ras
cally Arab to succeed iu accomplishing its
purpose.
Sometimes, however, it manages to elude
his vigilance - and then, if the cork is not
very securely fastened, the wind escapes
with a whistle like that of a steam engine,
and tho fine-looking beast suddenly collapses
into the miserable object it really is.
Marie Louise’s Opinion of Napoleon.
J. H. Hager in the October Cosmopolitan.
When the divorce between Napoleon and
Josephine had been announced, reports
were put in circulation that Marie Louise
was to be the new Empress of France. Re
ferring to these rumors she writes, under
the date of Jan. 10, 1810: “I don't believe a
word of what they say. Napoleon would
not risk a refusal, and there is too much
harm that he can yet do us. And
papa is too good to with to force
me in so grave a matter. I let
them talk, but pity the poor Princess that
he will choose. However, I'm very sure
that lam not the victim predestined by
politics.” And a few days later: “Since
Napoleon’s divorce I expect to find the
name of the woman he has chosen in every
number of the Frankfort Journal. I con
fess that this delay makes me anxious in
spite of myself. 1 have, however, placed
my fate in the hands of ,providence, which
alone knows what will conduce to our hap
piness; but if ill-luck will have it, I am
readv to sacrifice my happiness for tile good
of .lie State. One only finds true happiness
in duty done, even at the price of one's
peace of mind.”
Again, on Jan. 23, she writes as follows:
“I know that they already have me mar
ried, in Vienna, to the great Napoleon, but I
hope the rumor is unfounded. However, I
am none the less thankful for your kind
wishes: if, in spite of all, the thing comes
to pass, I shall be the only one not to rejoice
at it.” In a letter bearing the same date
addressed to her friend. Mile, de Poutet, she
adds that she amuses hei-self by composing
waltzes, a singular mode of preparing for
an heroic act!
A hiatus ot three months now occurs in
the correspondence. In the meantime
Marie Louise, having been married to tho
modern Antichrist, and finding him not so
detestable as he was painted, has become
reconciled to her lot. The next letter is
dated, “Compiegue, 24 April, 1810. I
wish, my dear Victoria,” she again writes
to Mile, de Poutet, who had herself just
been married, “that you may be us happy
as I am, and that you may find in life en
joyment equal to mine.” She also praised
Napoleon’s easy disposition, his willingness
to oblige, and his graciousness, and de
clared that her happiest moments were
those that she passed alone with him.
After the birth of her son, the King of
Rome,she prays Heaven that the child may,
like its father, mak' all those happy that
shall be brought in contact with and known
him. She has but one cause of unhappiness
—her husband’s absence, “1 can only be
happy near him! May God ever preserve
you from such a separation; it is too much
for a loving heart, and should it continue
longer, I feel that I shall succumb.” In bid
ding him good-bye, she was convulsed by
“a more violent emotion than sbe had ever
experienc 'd in leaving her family.” If a
day passed without receiving letters, she
was at once thrown into the deepest despair,
and when one catqe it only comforted her
tor a few hours.
Lost In Chicago.
From the Chicago News.
In the month of September 132 persons
were reported missing, and up to last night
the tally tor this month was 9i. The list
includes’ children of tender years, boys old
enough to run awttv from home and ambi
tious to become cowfxiyg and Indian fighters,
wayward girls impatient of home restraint,
men and ••■omen in tue prime of life and in
their dotage. It is impossible to tell how
many of them were afterward found, be
cause people do not usually report to the
police anything but bad news. It a miss
ing person does not tun up promptly his
relatives visit the police stations daily seek
ing for information und for aid in prosecut
ing the search, but when he is found his
friends are too overjoyed to think ot letting
the police know of it. It is estimated by an
officer of large experience that fully nine
teuths of them turn si up all right. Tiie
list is not confined to residents of the citv,
but includes many visitors, whose sudden
disappearance caused their trien Is anx ety.
In some cases the missing persons carried
considerable money, furnishing grounds for
suspicion of foul play, but in tiie great
majority of cases tnere was little clew as to
what became ot them.
