FEEL MORE HOPGFI L.
W .'l'ihinigton Officials Think Lega
tions May Hold Out.
Washington, July B.—A slightly more
hopeful feeling for the safety of the lo
ea ions in Pekin is apparent in official
circles to-night. The hope U not founded
on any official dispatches which has reach
ed the state department, as nothing has
befu received during the day from
consular representatives of the United
Slates in China.
The cumulative statements, however,
tvhi, h are daily printed from various por
tions of the empire, reporting the diplo
mat corps, with the exception of the
<;• mat* minister, as safe up to within
certain specified time, together with the
absence of any corroborative proof of their
murder, is partially responsible for the
raght hope which prevails that the min
isters are yet alive. The statements pur
porting to come from Sir Robert Hart, the
K irlc-h Chinese inspector of customs, are
i warded as the best information w'hlch
1 is )>een received. While showing the
• on. Melons were desperate, the dispatches
have not l>een entirely without hope.
Mr. lVu, the Chinese minister, docitinue*
optimistic, in spite of the alarming state
ments which have appeared. Such recent
communications as he has had with offi
cials of the southern provinces lead him
to relieve that up to a very recent date
legations were still safe.

"Hut we shall do nothing of the sort.”
“Ah. ! don’t know. Major. Perhaps you

In the smoking room the husband. Mr.

The Colonel, delighted with the*e senti

says that the field marnhal will presently
be joined by French, and an immense army
will move into the Free State by way of
Enslfn and Rnmdam. The date of Ihe
movement he knbws. but may not tell,
though it is not far off.

“I'm not going to-morrow,” he said.

The Second Hand Mart of Paris.
From Leisure Hour.
The name of the Temple is not connected
with pleasing memories for those who
know anything of the history of Paris.
II was derived from a stronghold of thoae
unhappy Templars who early in the four
teenth century Buffered death by Are that
their domains might enrich the coffers of
Philippe le Bel. In a tower, the sole relic
of the mediaeval fortress. Ix>uis XVI and
Marie Antoinette felt the first pangs of
their fatal imprisonment, and In It their
unfortunate son languished and died. With
the demolition of this tower in the early
years of the present century the last vis
ible token vanished of these “old, unhap
py, far-off kings.” The melancholy site
was occupied In 1808-11 by a market (Halle
au Vieux Linge), the predecessor of (hat
busy beehive which is one of the most
curious sights of modern Paris and is
hereby brought to the notice of the ad
venturous tourist The original building,
though designed on a more modest scale
than its successor, and constructed some
what recklessly, it might be thought, of
wood, nevertheless harbored beneath its
roofs no less than 1,800 stalls, grouped In
square, or “t at res.” Each'of these had
its particular name, grotesque or grandi
loquent, and was devoted to n special de
portment of the “marine store” trale.
Thus at the “Palais Doyal” were articles
do luxe, ribbons, hats, velvets, silks and
satins; at the “Pavilion de Flore.” bed
ding and bed linen; at the “Foret Noire,”
boots, tfhoe* and male clothing; a the
“Pou Valant*’—name of ill omen—old iron
and allied hlftcellanla. This institution,
however, did not escape the inevitable
Haussman, and was rebuilt in 1885 Jt an
annual rent of 175,000 Iran os. It would
seem that the business of the market is
not so flourishing as it was, for the num
ber of occupied stalls has diminished. The
fastidious tourist must not suppose that
nothing is sold here but articles that have
lost their freshness or have graced the
persons of a succession of owners.

ried an officer up San Juan hill, in Cuba,
in advance of the other horses that par
ticipated in that bloody charge.
It is wrong to suppose that the cavalry
man breaks his own horse. The animals
come into the service trained simply o
saddle and bridle, to halter and rope. Then
the cavalryman puts on the professional
touches, leaches his mount the tricks of
the trade, the way to lie down at iom
rnund. the way to clear obstacles, the way
to kneel, to stand, and ?> keep perft t
alingnmeiu in the ranks without, fu&sing
.ind kicking; the way to wheel on the turns
by columns of fours; the way to walk, to
trot, io gallop in company. The caval
ryman’s training is merely the higher
schooling given a well-broken animal.
The man who first trains the cavalry
horse is the one who has the excitement.
Wild, unaccustomed to restraint, frighten
ed. his whole body quivering with excre
ment and fear, the young horse is lassoed
with a riata in a big stock corral, into
which he and hi* companions have been
driven. Then begins the tussle to convert
him to a saddle horse. Without p ehminrtry
ceremony, he is quickly apporached hand
over-hand along the top* and led apart
from the rest of the herd. Vaqueros.
skilled horsemen, rough riders, are all
about him In an expectant group. The
“topoco.” a leathern blindfold, is cautious
ly adjusted to his bead and deftly drawn
down over his eyes. He quiver*, his leg*
trembling under him. Cautiously the palm
of the breaker’s band is laid first on the
mane, and then patted slowly along to Ihe
wither*, and then to the back. Still the
poor animal trembles like an aspen leaf.
Very gently and silently now the nun
reaches for the blanket, and. holding it
over the bark with both hands, delicately
lowers it down upon the quivering and
frightened beast. It may not rest there
an instant. The horse may Jump, hump
his back like a cat on the defensive in the
sudden presence of a dog; shake his head
in wild, violen;. stubborn vibrations, and
send the blanket off. and then continue
rearing and plunging about. He may re
main quaking, and lei the saddle blanket
rest where it was placed. If lie does, the*
breaker reaches- just a* carefully for the
saddle, a great big thirty or foryq>ound
affair, with broad w oven-hair girtn or
cinch, with big stirrup* and broad sweat
leathers to protect the trousers leg from
the lathering sides of the horse. The stir
rup* and cinch will be carefully crossed
over (ho seat of the saddle, to be out of
the way. Then the saddle will be lowered
ever so cautiously on top of the blanket.
The clnm is carefully lowered off so that
it may fall down toward (he other side
and without swinging and striking th*
animal. Even more cautiounly the man
reaches undet an takes hold of th* pen
dant cinch, and drawn the end toward
him. slowly resting it until It is within
reach of the girth straps that are to be
pneead and rrpassed through Ihe cinch
ring and the ring t the side of the cad
die.
All th? while tht- horse is trembling; hut
quiet. The man works as skillfully as the
mrpeon perferminp a capital operation.
Little by little the plrth Is brought closer
to the animal's belly, and little by little
it is tightened until It is a firm anchorage
for the saddle. Then (he stirrups are deft
ly dropped. If the horse be particularly
sturdy-looklng and has a mean eye, the
Stirrups are connected by a bit of rope
passed loosely from one to Ihe other un
der the belly. This is to prevent the
man’s feet from swinging up on a level
with the seat during the violent bucking
tactics. The horse properly saddled, the
next thing to do Is to slip on the loop
rope bridle that goes round the nose, and
Is furnished with reins of rope and with
a thong passing over the top of the head
and kept In place by a silt, through which
one ear Is passed.
Everything is now ready for the rider
to venture on his unknown mount. He
takes hold of the mane and the reins
with his left hand. Inserts his left foot
lb the stirrup and gently, but quickly,
swings into the saddle. And none too
soon. With a wild rush, head out, hark
straight, the frerzled animal that in all
his life never had a pound's weight on
his bark before now feels the burden
of something like 200 pounds; the binding
of the prickly hair cinch sticking him like
bits of burrs all along his lender under
skirt; a pulling and hauling at his nose,
and something gripping against his s.des.
On he races—where he knows not. He
sees not, though the rider has already
reached forward and snatched the “lo
poco” up from the beast's eyes. Pell-mell,
bits of earth and sod flicked up behind by
his beating hoofs, the horse rushes across
the level. Then, In the winking of an
eye, he suddenly stops, thrusts his fore
feet forward and flops on Io his haunches.
The rider has been on the alert, and well
he may have been, for this Is the mo
ment when he may be sent far on in n
frightful catapultlc header. For a mo
ment ehc dumb beast squats there Sul
lenly, his sides heaving, his heart pound
ing so that the man's calves feel every
bent, even through the thickness of the
sweat leathers.
Then the animal adopts other tactlea,
but the rider knows his repertoire. He
has not been a bronco-buster for nothing.
Jumping stlff-legßed, coming down on all
fours, with feet dose together and back
suddenly thrust up with a mlghtly Impel
ling force, the horse rearing high up on
kls hind legs and instantly bolting down
and hurling both heel* up and back with
Impulsive and desperute violence, the
creature exerts every nerve In him to
loosen that frightful thing from his hack.
The instinct of the wild horse of the
plains Is in him. He will dislodge the
panther or mountain Hot. or the wildcat
that has Jumped from a limb and fast
ened upon his withers to tear his flesh.
Freni!led, the horse starts on another wi!l
race, this time straight for the trunk of
a mighty oak. like an arrow I* his course.
The rider knows the danger. He saws
on the primitive bridle, atrlvlng with all
hi* strength to swerve the headlong rush
and mls thirt tree against which the an
imal will surely dash doth of them to
death. He knows now that he is on a
“loco,” a horse erased by fear and ex
eltement. and he yanks with the energy
Of despair ot the rope. Headlong they
both pass under the tree. He duck* to
avoid a very low hough that might have
scraped him off and killed him, and his
leg Just brushes the body of the mighty
oak He has no moment now to breathe
freely at hi* escape. The horse Is almost
demented. He hinges and plunges, and.

loses his balance and comes falling over
backward, the most appalling danger to
the rough rider. With instinctive alert
ness. the rider drops away to one side
or the oilier to avoid the crash. If he
chances to choose the wrong side, he may
be crushed under the bulk of horseflesh,
the raddle horn pierced through hi* chest,
h!s skull smashed and hla hone* broken.
But auch are the chances that the bron
cho-buster must take with these oxcep-
t tonally bad horses. Time and patience
bring tlte horse finally to understand that
a saddle and a man on his back will not
Injure him. Then he is rtg to b* a cav
alry horse. All horses re not so wild.
Some arc bred more gently and grow up
as pets on small farms; some are ac
customed to being handled and bridled
from their colt days. But the hardy horse
of the range, the tough-muscled cam
paigner. requires the broncho-buster.
TIKI TO PEKIN.

“Remote, unfriended, melancholy slow,”
is the region between Taku tat the mouth
of the sinuous Pei ho) uu<l the far fanvd
capital of the Celestial Umpire. For the
first twenty-seven miles it Is particularly
degreasing, constituting, as it docs, from
the coast, to Tien-Tsin, one vast mud fiat,
unrelieved by tree or hillock From the
great treaty port of ihe north of China to
Pakln iteslf. a distance of eighty miles,
the land is fairly well cultivated, but the
only objects on the landscape between the
various villages are the kraal shaped
tombs of the Chinese, w ho bury their dead
in meadow or garden quite regardless of
locality. In the pro*railway days, there
wete three methods of traveling from the
coilsi to the capital—the first by boat, the
•econd by cart and the third on horseback.
Usually the first part of the journey, as
far as Tien-Tsin, could he performed by
water, provided (he vessel drew no more
than eleven feet of water. But even ves
sels of .‘-mail tonnage, under the best pilot
age. would get hopelessly stuck in the.
mud. Soem plucky passenger would then
ride to Tien-Tsin. purr hosing a straight

of curious eyes in the lovvns en route

The old order, much to the disgust of
the more conservative native, has latter
ly given way to the new. The vigorous
railway policy inaugurated by Li Hung
Chang, and carried out in the fare of
untold difficulties by Mr. C. Kinder, has
rendered the Journey now one of com
parative ease. From Tangku, a village
situated about a mile from the forts
which were destroyed last week, a single
track line runs to Tien Tsin, with two
stations on the way. From there to the
capita) It ts a double line. The stations
and distances are as follows:

From this point the railway takes a
northwesterly, and not a northerly, di
rection. as most of the maps recently pub
lished have shown It. The mistake has
been due to the fact that copies have, In
a number of Instances, been made of an
old war office map, published In 1858,
showing a projected line, which has since
been abandoned. Assuming that the
troops proceed to Pin, they
would, in following the railway
line, have to skirt the south
ern boundary of the Nan-hai-dsy. From
here to the capital there are no thickly
congested districts, the country being dot

In this spirit, therefore, of one who

so sincere. so simple that it seem* a mir

could pray with Protestants as much as
ever. ‘‘Would you. Bishop, pray with a

“Yes, I would.”

Mealy, who painted a valuable portrait
of him, and when the Chicago Are de
stroyed nearlv everything he owned, at
the request of his wife this painting W'ns
saved bv him. He humorously described
his embarrassment at marching away

In 1872 Mr. Moody was invited to preach
to gome congregations in England. There

and America, spread over a period of

there Is little doubt of the truth of It.
that he had preached to audiences of over
one hundred million people in those ac
tive years. Of course, his audiences w'ere
almost always composed of Protestants,
although his genius for pulpit eloquence
drew even Jews and Gat holloa to hear
what they had so constantly seen describ
ed in the public press.
His prevailing- qualities were tireless
energy, umnzlr.tr common sense, unques

rarely equaled. These qualities, on tiro
with enthusiasm and marshaled with the
brain of a mllltarv general, made him .
powerful leader of men. Protestantism
has lost Its best apostle, and in the death
of Mr. Moody there is a conscious halt
in Its force*.
Mr. Moody in the ( losing years of hl life

He was preaching at Cooper Union hlm

might be shaken With religious fervor.
This was the purpose of his visit. The
Archbishop explained the system of mis

showed him how if was constantly do

conversation, but the only result was a
friendly intercourse.
