LATE EVENTS MEAN A MODERN CHINA
| Prof. Hirth Calls Chinese Born Parliamen
■
tarians—-Predicts Progress. ~ - -
New York City.-—Friedrich Hirtn,
F University, T rt ? fess “ r of who , Chinese as a lifelong in Columbia student
(] b i nesQ people, their language
and literature, is considered one of
the best authorities living on Chinese
topics, gave it as h^ opinion that the
deatl * of the Empress Dowager and
the Emperor ^ meant the opening of
an ent|r ly „ ew and bet ter era which
would benefit not only China hut the
other nations of the world, He
thought affairs in China would from
now on advance rapidly toward Euro
ldealg and th h progre ss will
lesg rapld than in JapaD) China
would in thirty or even twenty years
be transformed into a, nation on an
equal footing with the other great
nations of the world.
Professor Hirth had no belief in
the report that foul play had entered
into the death of the Dowager or the
Emperor. In regard to the general
attitude of the influential parties and
individuals toward the new rule, he
said;
"I think the events of the next few
weeks or days will determine the
question of bloodshed or peace. I
think that both Liberals and Conser¬
vatives are ready to wait quietly in
brder to see what course the Govern¬
ment will take. Prince Chun is a
Liberal, and he has enough followers,
I think, among the really dangerous
party, the overardent Liberals, who
might be called the Anarchistic party,
to avert any trouble from them,
"Prince Chun, I believe, is an able
in an . He has visited Germany on a
diplomatic mission. He alone of those
have come H 110 great power in
China has seen Europe; tnat single
fact should be enough to show in
what direction his rule will tend. • .
Speaking in a general way of the
death of Emperor and Dowager he
said;
“It appears to me a very beneficial
thing for China. The antagonistic
relations between the two and the
control by the Dowager of the Em¬
peror roused great dissatisfaction
among the Liberals, who had rested
their hopes on the Emperor.
VOODOO SIGN CAUSED SUICIDE.
Superstitious Test Applied to a Man Accused oi Murder Drives Him to Death
Red Stain on the Weapon, Mistaken For Blood, is Really Rust.
Monticello, Ark. — Suspicion of
murder having been confirmed
him in the eyes of his neighbors by a
voodoo test, Louis Hursh, a farmer,
cut his throat and died in the pres¬
ence of the Coroner’s jury.
Samuel Haywood was the man
whose murder was under investiga¬
tion. He was called to his front door
at night and killed with a charge of
buckshot. His wife had but a fleet¬
ing glance at the assassin and could
give Hursh" no clew to his identity.
was questioned about the
crime at the inquest, but protested
that he had no knowledge of it. Mem¬
bers of the family swore that he was
at home when the shot was fired, and
Hursh apparently had been elimin¬
ated from the list of suspects when
one of the jurymen, an aged negro,
spoke up. test him,”
"Try the voodoo on
urged the negro.
“What’s that?” inquired the Coro
ner.
"Get Hursh’s gun and fire it off
again while he is standing by. If he
did the murder the gun will sweat
blood. tt
The Coroner was disinclined to
take this step, but others urged it on
him and he finally consented. Hursh
declared that it was a matter of in¬
difference to him whether the test
* I Yet Tsi-An played a valuable part.
It almost seems she saved the nation
in 1898, when by a coup d’etat the
young Emperor tried to crowd on
China in twenty days changes which
the nation would have needed as
many years to digest.
« < Yet, the Emperor being highly
appreciated by the party of reforjn
and progress, her seizure of the re,in?
of Government and suppression of
new ideas cast a gloom over the spirit
of the empire. And little as we know
the new characters on the Chinese
stage, it is fair to believe that both
extremes—conservative and progres¬
sive—will hold themselves in check,
and wiU wait to see where the Gov¬
ernment; is tending. All depends on
events; it is impossible to state what
will happen; one can only speak of
probabilities.
"But the tendency, whether calm
or violent, will, I feel sure, he toward
liberalism. These two deaths have
cleared the course for China. There
is much talk of antagonism toward
Manchu rule, yet that antagonism is
a thing of recent years; it has been
greatly heightened by the relations
between the Emperor and his aunt,
the Dowager. I believe now that that
antagonism will calm down for the
time, and will, If the new Govern¬
ment gives satisfaction, die out.
»< The talk is of a Constitutional
Government. I think, and have al¬
ways thought, the Chinese well fitted
for it. They have always appeared to
me to be born parliamentarians. Cer¬
tainly they are as well fitted for lib¬
eral institutions as any Oriental na¬
tion—better fitted than the Turks or
Persians, as well fitted, I think, as
the Japanese. But I believe they will
model their Government on the Jap¬
anese Government, and that the
stages of their progress generally will
be peaceful.
"The present Government has a
strong liberal party behind it, and the
radicals are too much in the minority
now to do any harm. So many strong
men, both liberal and radical, are
with the Government that I do not
foresee a serious outbreak. 99
was applied or not. He told where
his gun would be found, and it was
brought into court.
The Coroner and jury adjourned to
the woods near by, and the gun was
loaded and discharged. Hursh stood
by, apparently careless of the results.
Following the firing of the gun the
jurymen crowded around it to exam
ine it for the sign, A murmur arose
among them, and the suspense was
more than the prisoner could bear.
He turned to the gun to examine it,
and the man who had suggested the
voodoo test pointed to a red stain
near the muzzle of the weapon. Hursh
became agitated and seemed on the
point of making a d?.sh for liberty
when he was seized by a deputy.
Without further investigation the
party filed back into the court room,
where in a few moments the jury
held Hursh responsible for the kill¬
ing, and Coroner Lewis signed the
commitment.
When the prisoner saw that he was
to he sent to jail on the strength of
the voodoo test he took a sharp knife
from his pocket and with one stroke
ended his life.
Subsequently more careful examin¬
ation of the red stain on the muzzle
of the gun was made and beyond any
doubt ing it was established to "be noth¬
but rust.
ENGLAND’S FOOD BILL.
$860,000,000 Paid Last Year to Foreign
Countries for Eatables.
The latest volume issued by
board of agriculture and fisheries con¬
tains interesting figures. Britain’s ex¬
penditure for imported food for 1907
was over £172,000,000, while for im¬
ported wool and agricultural produce,
such as hay, etc., she spent well over
£ 200 , 000 , 000 .
The percentage of imports to popu¬
lation rises all round. More than four
fifths of the wheat consumed in the
United Kingdom comes from abroad.
In the seven years 1859-05 Britain
imported on an average 120 pounds of
wheat and flour per head of the pop¬
ulation each year. In 1907 that amount
is nearly doubled.
During the same seven years, 1859
05, the total expenditure per head of
population on- foreign food averaged
£1 2s. 2d. a year. During the last
seven years it has averaged £3 4s. lid.
nearly treble the amount, the foods in¬
cluded being wheat, meat, butter,
cheese, eggs, fruit and vegetables.
Some of the figures quoted seem
enormous. For instance, in 1907,
Britishers consumed 2,228,148,000 for¬
eign eggs.
R. H. Rew, who writes the preface
to the report, allows himself one pro¬
phecy. In calling attention to the as¬
tounding increase in the dead meat
trade he attributes it to the advance
of science, which now enables dead
meat, even when it has to pass through
the tropics “to compete on almost
equal terms with much of the meat
killed in this country,” and prophesies
that In a few years the transit of live
animals will disappear “as a relic of
an age of imperfect economic develop¬
ment.”
A noticeable feature was the great
export during the year of British
horses to Canada. Canada purchased
from Great Britain no less than 61,-
783 horses) the biggest export ever
known, though the total value of
£1,240,000 was exceeded in 1906. The
principal purchasers were Belgium and
the Netherlands.
The Unselfish Bachelor.
Bachelors are cultivated in all large
cities. They live in bachelor apart¬
ments and bungalows. They can be
seen during the day in counting houses
and on the golf links, and in the eve¬
ning at dinner parties and poker
games.
Bachelors at one time were easily
caught with almost any kind of bait,
and swallowed bait, hook, sinker and
all, often at the first throw. Now,
however, they are becoming much
more wary, and hide in the depths of
their bachelor apartments or in deep
poolrooms from which they cannot be
lured.
They are gregarious in their habits,
running in schools, but they stand by
one another, and it is very unusual to
find a solitary one. Occasionally,
however, a more foolish and over-on
fident specimen will poke his nose in¬
to a Summer resort, when he is
promptly landed.
Bachelors are in reality the bulwark
of the nation. By not getting married
they do not raise families. Families,
as we know, are constantly consuming
our natural resources. Bachelors are,
therefore, really providing more nat¬
ural relources for the few. Their
conduct, it will be seen, is thus quite
unselfish.—Life.
A Tactful Tutor.
It is told of the youth of a young
German prince, many years ago, and
presumably the present emperor of
Germany, that upon one occasion, his
tutor having been changed, the new¬
comer in examining the young prince
asked:
• < Can your highness tell how
me
much is nine times 12? If
“Seventy-twb,” replied the prince
with royal promptness.
The tutor paled, but soon recovered
his equanimity.
“Permit me to state to your high¬
ness that your highness’s former tu¬
tor, whom I have had the honor to
succeed as an instructor to your royal
highness, appears to have been a per¬
son of rather limited capabilities,” he
said.—Harper’s Weeky.
Arab Sport Under the Moon.
In camp under the moonlight on tUe
desert the travelling Arabs sit around
their fire and tell good stories. Some¬
times, too, a socalled magician among
them will perform tricks of hand.
Most marvellous of pastime, as Nor¬
man Duncan relates in the Harper's
Magazine, these stately Easterners,
brimming with moon-madness, will
plunge into schoolboy games—tag,
played with a man mounted on each
shoulder, ring-around-a-rosy, bull-in
the-ring, and then crack-the-whip—the
climax of their abandoned joy. Mr.
Duncan, in describing the remarkable
scene, says it endures until fatigue de¬
scends and the camp-fire is burned
out.
The rediscount bank provided for
by Congress recently was organized
in Mexico with a capital of $10,000,000,
one-half of which was furnished by
French capitalists and one-half by
Mexican banks.
