II« Carries Only the l argest Caliber of
Pistols.
When a Chinaman buys a pair of
boots he selects the largest to be had
because he gets more leather for his money
says the San Francisco Examiner: In
buying pistols only those of the largest,
calibre suit him, and of those he pur
chases the most superior. No cheap
affair can be sold to a highbinder.
The arms are rarely purchased until
st man has been doomed to death or a
fight between “tongs” has been decided
upon. Then some respectable looking '
Chinaman, pernnps a merchant, visits a)
gunshop, and with the untmost care se-l
lects one or more revolvers of the larg
est sizes. The pistols arc critically ex-i
nmined as to “pull,” certainty of action j
in the cylinders, and the length of the!
point on the hammer Which strikes the!
primer and discharges the shell.
Nearly all of those purchased have
“long” barrels, 7 1-2 inches and are arms
intended for army or navy use. and to
be carried in hostlers. But the highbin
der has no use for a holster. When he
takes up the pistol it is'to kill some man
within a few minutes, ams mayhap on |
short notice, so be must have bis wea
pon where it can be so gripped and put!
into action instantly. The peculiarj
dress of the Chinese especially favors;
the murderous “binder” in concealing!
the pistol and yet have it under com
mand. The long flowing sleeves of tbe|
outer garment worn on the steet by all
Chinese serve a double purpose on a
lushbinder.
Often the assassin detailed to kill
tome fanciful enemy or opponent of aj
“tong” straps his revolver to his fore
arm by a rubber band or other fastening
from which the weapon can be instan-l
taneouely disengaged. The pistol iiesj
along the inner portion _of the arm.!
where it can be carried without attract- i
ing attention. If one of the Chinatownj
detectives chances on purpose to brush ,
strongly against the “binder" in passing!
nothing is felt of the weapon that Js
ready for use as soon as the man mark- i
ed for death appears.
At other times,, when waiting about
for a street fight to begin or when walk-1
ing from a tonghouse to seme battle-1
ground, the pistol is carried in the
waistband of the trousers, where it can,!
be quickly reached by raising the blouse.
In cold 'weather it sometimes becomes,
necessary under the highbinder code, to
put a man to death, and then the as
sassin may take his six-shooter in the
hand and conceal it by turning down his
long sleeves. That way of carrying the
pistol is considered equally as desirable
with the manner also affected in cold
seasons when the “binder” covers his
hands bv hiding them in his sleeves as
ladies use a muff. One hand holds the
pistol and when the victim can be
stolen upon the weapon merely pushed
against the cloth and fired through it.
No one sees the pistol and it is easy for
the murderer to escappe in the excite
ment which always follows gun fire in
Chinatown.
Searching a Chinaman is mat
ter quite different to that of going
through one in civilized dress. Any
where from five to twelve garments
covering the trunk m'wt be closely ex
amined. to make sure that no deftly con
cealed pocket bolls a weapon. home
times beneath half a dozen blouses a
coat of mail or an armor of quilted
paper is found, either being impervious
to bullets. ,
If the desperate Mongals were expert
marksmen there might be less objection
to tlueir pistol practice on each other,
but they are notorious errafre “hots.
a few rears ago certain shooting gal
leries of' the citv were frequented by
Chinese bni when a playful white man
one day killed one of the yellow marks
wen irtead of aiming at the regular
target the Chinese patronage ceased.
Although quite indifferent to death, the
Chinese have not yet learned to handle
firearms properly.
When they hold the pistol «t arm's
length, they nearly always turn the
faro away at the instant of firing. A
high-binder who can remain complacent
among the reports of a thousand trig
fire-crackers, shrinks from looking
through the sights of his pistol until the
lead bos been sent ou its mission of
death.
Sometimes the murderers grasp the
pistol with both hands and by using the
double action discharge four or five
shots in half that number of seconds. A
rest across the arm is a favorite posi
tion and one of the most effective, since
it permits something like steady aim,
although it is said that the high binder
never keeps his eyes open when the
pistol is discharged.
No remedy at law has been effective
in preventing resort to arms by the
highbinders. Finos of $250 have been
imposed for carrying concealed weapons
and wihtin 24 hours a dozen “binders
were fighting with pistols on the street.”
The rule recently made by Chief Crow
ley may operate to lesson the danger
to’ pedestrians about Chinatown, because
every Chinese arrested at the scene of
the ’shooting will be compelled to de
fend himself in court as a principal
and pay attorney’s foes. Heretofore
there has been an agreement among the
"tongs" to settle their grievances outside
of court, but the now rule will make
such procedure unnecessary, siuee noth
ing can be saved by so doing.
A BY FATHER RYAN.
The following graceful poem, hitherto
unpublished, by Father Ryan, says the
New Orleans Tlmes-Democrat, was written
in about the year 1876, while staying with
some friends on their beautiful planta
tion In Mississippi. Always at home in
the haunts of nature, with a heart and
mind attuned to all that was lovely hud
loveable In human life, the changeful
eharm of the vernal season, in that rural
retreat, and the quiet happiness of the
household where he was an honored guest,
awoke within him sentiments which found
fitting expression in song. Admirers of
Father Ryan's writings will be interested
In this poem of occasion from the pen of
the beloved poet, priest and patriot:
TO MR. AND MRS. A. M. T.
Just when the gentle hand of spring
Cante fringing the trees with bud and
leaf,
And when the blades the warm suns
bring
Were given glad promise of golden sheaf;
Just when the b.rds began to sing
Joy hymns after their winter's grief,
I wandered weary to a place,
Tired of toil, 1 sought for rest,
Where nature wore her mildest grace—
I Went where I was more than guest.
Strange, tall trees rose as if they fain
Would wear as crowns the clouds of
skies;
The sad winds swept with low refrain
Through branchi s breathing softest sighs;
And o’er the Held and down tile lane
Sweet flowers, the dreams of Paradise,
Bloomed up into this world of pain.
Where all that's fairest soonest dies;
And 'neath the trees a little stream
Went winding slowly round and round,
Just like a poet's mystic dream,
With here a silence, there a sound.
The lowly groud. beneath the sheen
Os March day suns, now dim, now bright,
Now emeralds of golden greeu
In flashing or in fading light;
And here and there throughout the scene
The timid wild flowers met the sight;
While over all the sun and shade
Swept l.ke a strangely woven veil.
Folding the flowers that else might fade,
Gum-ding young rosebuds from the gale.
And blossoms of most varied hue
Bedecked the forest everywhere,
While valleys wore the robes of blue,
Bright woven by the violets fair;
And there was gladness all around:
It was a place so fair to see.
And yet so simple,—there I found
How sweet a quite home may bo.
Four children,—and thro’ all the day
They flung their laughter o’er the place;
Bl ight as the flowers in happy May,
The children shed a sweet pure grace
Around this quiet home, and they
To father and to mot Iter brought
The entiles of pure ' love unsought;
It was a happy, happy spot,
Too dear to be fore er forgot.
Farewell, sweet place! I came as guest;
From toll, in thee I found relief,
I fuuud-lii thee a home am! rest—
But, ah! the days are far too brief.
Farewell! I go. but w.lh me come
Sweet memories that long will last;
I'll think of thee as of a home
That stands forever in my past.
-A. J. RYAN.
PRE«BYTERY SENSATION.
Columbia, S. C., April 12.—(Special.)—
During the session of the Charleston
Presbytery today the case of Miss
Sadie Means, of Columbia, against
the Second Presbyterian church
was taken up. Two weeks ago Miss
Means was suspended from this church
because she holds a nosition in the tele
phone exchange which necessitates her
working an hour on Sunday. The com
plaint alleges that Miss Means is a young
girl dependent upon her own efforts for
a livelihood and could not give up the
position. It alleges furthermore that
there are several members of the church
whose positions require them to work on
Sunday and no notice has ever been
taken of it. The case has already caus
ed a great deal of talk and is liable to
brovoke a warm discussion in the Pres
ter?'. The young lady has many friends
who will advocate her cause. The peti
tion was referred to a committee and
will be reported tomorrow. The case
intis already caused one fisticuff between
two leading members of the church.

PRESIDENT OAKMAN TALKS.
Ho Tells Why the Terminal Made the Mo
tlon Itafopo Judge Pardee.
The proceedings in the Fnited States
court before Judge Pardee yesterday,
in which the Richmond Terminal played
so prominent a part in moving to have
the receiver of the Central railroad dis
charged and the orders of the court an
nulled, have excited universal comment,
as they were entirely unexpected and
fell like a thunder clap.
President and Receiver W. G. Oakman
of the Richmond Terminal Company
was seen in regard to the action of that,
company last, night, and in response to
a querry said:
“We made these motions under the
Rowena Clarke case simply to protect
our interests, which would be practically
extinguished under the proposed plan of
reorganization, and we are bound to re
sist it in self-defense.
"The orders passed by the court, re
ferred to by Mr. Crawford, are indefen
sible and subversive of propriety
ami justice, arid we will resist them on
that ground because we own a majority
of the stock in the Central railroad,
which, under the reorganization, can't
escape from confiscation, and our in
terests would be entirely destroyed. The
Terminal owns 42.000 shares of Central
stock, for which $7,000,000 or more was
paid to the syndicate incltisive of im
provements. These interests which have
been disfranchised would be entirely
confiscated ttjuler the reorganization
plan, and we propose,to resist, it.”
“What do you propose to do in case
you carry your point?” was asked.
Up to now we have been quiescent in
regard to oitr plans, and I cannot fore
cast the future. There will be time for
action after the present matter hits been
disposed of.”—Savannah News.

How Secretary Carlisle Proposes to Help

Washington, April 12.—The action of
Secretary Carlisle in refusing to purchase
the Bowling Green site, New York City,
for a custom house and in declining to ac
cept the Chestnut street site in Philadel
phia for the United States mint is taken
as indicating bls policy in regard to the
policy of the erection of public buildings
which Is understood to be to defer the en
tering upon costly works in the present
condition of the treasury. Three million
do liars would have been withdrawn for the
p ymenT of these two sites had the treas
ury authorities acted favorably lu the ;
'"it*Vs"generally believed that Mr. Lamont, j
as Secretary of War, who has charge of .
the river and harbor expenditures, will ,
follow on this same line of action. As
between the two departments the payment
of sums aggregating between $50,000,000 to
$75,000,000 a year can be eas ly deferred
without hampering the public service, un
til the treasury surplus begins to grow

SOUTH AFRIC A.
Mr. I. J. Jsiaes who is writing the
book about Augusta, being gotten up
by the Arkel I’ublishiug Co., relates
some interesting experiences ami gives
some valuable information iu and about
the Transvaal tend Southern Africa. Mr.
Isaacs three years ago was livflig in
South Africa. He receives regularly it
daily paper published at a thriving town
in the upper part of the Transvaal, throe
hundred miles from n railroad, one of
three other daily papers published in
the same place.. The paper is equal to
anything in the south in the United
States; six years ago this town site' was
walked upon by lions. Now it has thirty
thousand Inhabitants..lt. has three thea
tre*) musical societies, art clubs,
schools of the finest kind, and buildings
of stone surpassing ns a rule the buiM
ings of the cities of Georgia. It is a gold
mining town. The mining companies are
English. The ore is shipped to Englund.
The natives—Zulus—are as a class
more intelligent than the blacks of this
country. Throe miles from this city,
however, they wear no clothes.
The Transvaal, which covers the whole
southern part of Africa, for hundreds of
miles above Capo Town, is taken posses
sion inf by the English. There is also a
sprinkling of Germans. The whole of
the Transvaal is a prarie or treeless
country. The soil is r<d clay, and the
whole face of the country is covered
with immense ant hills. Yet all over this
land gold abounds.
When asked if there was danger from
the natives in travelling through the
Transvaal. Mr. Isaacs smiled and re
plied that there was no more danger in
going anywhere one wished in the Trans
vaal than in walking upon Broad street,
Augusta, Gilm The Zulu nativi s one
meets are harmless. The English power
is asserted in the Transvaal as it is ev
erywhere else. An English subject is
protected al, all hazards ami this is ful
ly understood by the natives. But apart
from this the natives are inoffensive.
Travelling when l there are no railroads
is done by stage. Travelling in South
Attica is very costly. The fare is about
S2OO from Southhampton. England to
Cape Town. A few hundred miles by
stage >n the Transvaal will cost yoit
front forty to sixty dollars. Ewrthing
else in the country is proportionately
high except tobacco, which can be
bought for three cents a pound. Beer is
one dollar a pint.
The Transvaal. Mr. Isaacs says, is
the coming country. Men can go' from
here there and make money. Railroads
are being constructed in the Transvaal.
Above the Transvaal where the woods
are reached, the African country is not
yet open to civilization. As is well
known millions ol acres of timber over
lie this region, but when railroads reach
it, and the timber is ent away the
country will become inhabited. The
woods are at present filled with savages
tribes, dwarfs and all curious kinds of
human creatures.
Mr. Isaacs describes the modes of
freight transportation in South Africa
as being done by huge oxen—generally
six constituting a team.
When asked if there was any emigra
tion to the Transvaal from the Asiatic
countries, he replied in the affirmative,
though I here were not many of these
Asiatics in the country.
Mr. Isaacs was asked by the Chron
icle reporter of his impression of the
Sahara desert as gathered at the dis
tance he was from it. and if the thought
of crossing it took upon the public mind
there the form of horror it was thought
over hero to take. “Yes.” Mr. Isaacs re
plied. hi fact nobody thought of cross
ing it. Os course some of the natives
crossed it, because they knew how, and
where to go so as to strike the oases,
but it was certain dentil for anyone else
to venture into the desert.
“Was it thought in Africa that arti
ficial oases would ever* be arranged
across the desert so as to perfect trails?”
was asked Mr. Isaacs. “Oh yes, this had
been tried, and would doubtless be done
some day, but: not: now because there
was no great need for if. no commerce
waiting for tins route. Os course people
were not lost upon th» desert in any
numbers, because they did not for a
moment think of trying to cross it. They
wore not sucked into it as in a whirl
pool. so that there was no danger in
it. It lay there. People would go out
upon it around the edges constantly of
course, but this was it small matter.
Stanley was a wonderful man. The pub
lic was under the impression largely
that .Stanley entered Africa from the
American side. This is of course a mis
take. He went in from the Asiatic side
or that, quarter near Madagascar.”
Hr. Isaacs is a. very interesting talker
upon Africa, and throws a great deal of
light upon the state of progress in this
far-away, little understood but interest
ing region es the world.

WHISKEY MEN CAUTIOUS.
They Want n, Guarantee from Governor
Tillman Before Selling; Him Stock.
Columbia, S. C'., April 12.—(Special.)—
The Journal this afternoon publishes an
article saying that inasmuch as tho Gov
ernor and State Commissioner Traxler
were returning from the West on their
whiskey hunting tour without bringing
spirits for the liquor dispensary, it was
said by a gentleman in a position to
know that the whiskey men of the north
west bail refused to sell whiskey unless the
Governor could secure them for the
amount of the purchase. The dealers will
want some guarantee of payment from the
state more thau the fact that tho law
■authorizes the state dispenser to pur
chase whiskey without having made any
specific arrangement for the payment
thereof. It is generally believed by the
whiskey dealers that the fifty thousand
dollars appropriated by the legislature is
only about sufficient to fit up, and inaugu
rate the dispensary without the purchase
of liquors.
