Thousand Volumes of Chinese Works Presented to the Unt= versity by China, The state department has notified President Butler, of Columbia univer- sity, of the receipt of a dispatch from Minister Conger at Peking, giving full information of the gift of books and other material to illustrate the in- struction in Chinese subjects to be un- dertaken on the new Dean Lung foun- dation. It appears that the collection selected by the foreign office of China for presentation to Columbia univer- sity is known as the “Tu Shu Chi Ch’eng.” It is the most comprehensive collection of books that has been made in China, and consits of over 6,000 vol- umes, treating of every subject known to Chinese literature. The work sas originally undertaken by a commis. sion of eminent Chinese scholars ap- pointed by Emperor Kang Hsi, who reigned from 1662 to 1723. From the scientific point of view the gift is in- valuable. Wants His Ashes Scattered. After the remains of Dr. Daniel Schuyler Young were cremated at Cincinnati the other day it was learned that he had provided for the ashes to be taken~to his old boy- hood home in Montgomery couny, N. Y., where his wife was buried; one- fourth to be sprinkled on her grave, one-fourth over the path to his old schoolhouse, one-fourth at his old home, and one-fourth shot out of a gun at the old homestead. This spe- cific disposition of the ashes caused much surprise among the associates of the noted physician, scientist and author. People Anxious to See Her.

AGED MAN IS APPRECIATIVE. Wealthy New Yorker Adopts Faithful Housekeeper ax His dD: hter and Heir, A ease which some lawyers without parallel in the legal history of the New York courts, was made known the other day when Justice MeLean, of the supreme court, signed the order to allow William Harkness, 70 years old, to adopt as his daughter, Elizabeth Holland Richardson, 47 years old, his housekeeper. Harkness is the inventor of one of the first fire extinguishers, He is reported to be worth half a mil- lion dollars. Albert Harkness, his brother, is a professor of Brown uni- versity. His lawyer, H. A. Snedeker, said re- cently Mr. Harkness desired to reward Mrs, Richardson for, taking care of him by relieving her df the social dis- advantages attaching to the menial title of housekeeper, and by insuring to her, in the event of his death, the custody of his fortune, without the possibility of contest by his relatives, GIFT TO LADY CURZON.

C.,and How He Spotied ‘Their Pinns Al- though Severely Wounded. As a reward for his devotion to duty and fearlessness in defending his trust, Postmaster General Payne has appointed Samuel H.

Alexander was both assistant The post in the store of the postmas- postmaster and clerk and lived in a rear m of the store. On the night of February 6 he was preparing to retire, when he heard a knock on the front door, He inquired what was wanted, and on being told one of the neighbors wanted his mail, unbarred the doors. Immediately two masked men entered. Covering him with their revolvers, they cautioned him to keep quiet, At their command he opened the fireproof safe, having first surren- dered his revolver. One of the men, Frank Johnson, stood guard over Alexander while the other, Ben Fos- ter, proceeded to loot the safe. Fos- ter had laid his revolver on the ¢ above the safe and was stooping in front of it, when the noise of a cat upsetting a box in the rear of the store caused Johnson to turn his head. Instantly Alexander seized the revolver and shot the kneeling bur- glar near the heart. He tried to shoot the other, but the revolver only snapped, Seizing Johnson, the young man and the burglar fell to the floor, A desperate struggle en- sued, Pal Foster, although seriously wound- ed, drew another revolver and shot od i Dani un \lex- ander, seeing that Foster was about to shoot at him again, swung John- son around in front of him. The bul- let from Foster's gun struck John- son in the left shoulder, passed through his “neck and lodged in- his right jaw. For fully five minutes the men struggled about the room, Alex- ander’s face and hands were terribly eut and bruised, and several bullets had lodged in his body, The burglars were both wounded and fast becom- ing faint from the loss of blood. By a superhuman tax upon — his strength Alexander succeeded in forcing the two men from the store into the street. Postmaster McClel- lan, seeing a light in the post of- fice, found Alexander lying in a faint on the front steps. For a time the young man’s life was despaired of, but he finally rallied and now, ex- cepting the sears, has no serious re- minders of his terrible ordeal. FALLS HEIR TO MILLIONS. Hotel Man Whose Uncle Wasa Part-| sak from Germany, ner of Astor G 1 the New ae Island, ars has manag hotel at Mack share of the estate of an wicle in Germany who recently died. The whole estate is valued at over $50,- 000,000. The elder Emerick was probably the best-known European agent in the fur business. For 30 years he was a partner in the fur business with John Jacob Astor. He was sta- tioned at Berlin, and it was in the fur trade with the aid of Astor that he accumulated the vast fortune. He was never married. He left all his property to the children of his two brothers. residing in the United States. It is reported to be the intention | of F. R. Emerick, after’ receiving his share of the fortune, to construct the the world on Mackinac island. The! building is to cost $1,000,000. BOY PRINCE AS OUTLAW.

On all sides, it says, there are com- plaints of bad business and speedy help is demanded of the government, as otherwise the crisis promises to involve consequences which might prove disastrous to the whole eco- nomic and financial situation of Ras- sia. The majority of the Russian manufacturers are firmly convinced that Russian industry is insufficient- ly protected and that the only rem- edy for the present troubles lies in an increase of import duties. There is, however, no probability that the government will depart from. its system of moderate protec- tionism, which it regards as neces- sary for the development of the na- tional activity in all the treaties it concludes, The optimism of the ghy- ernment with regard to an eventu, improvement in the situation is no’ shared in interested circles, where the conviction prevails that the pending crisis will not prove to be a tempor affair, but that it is con- nected with the general economic sit- uation and that it will become in- creasingly acute if no remedial meas- ures are taken, FOREIGNERS IN FRANCE. » Figures Which § Becoming Citixe pablic Th w That Many A: The United States is not the on country in the world that is bein benefit y immigration, ltappears from official statistics just published that between the years 1896 and 1901 about 10,000 foreigners took out nat- uralization papers in France, Accord- Ing to the census just completed the ‘tal number of foreig now resi- dent in the country is 1 .778, com- pared with 1027491 in 1896, The in- crease, therefore, of 444,613 in the to- is not due, to any appreciable degree to importation, The Paris Temps, commenting upon these figures, says that they would be ry if the increase were ac- inied by a parallel influx of for- immigrants to whom naturaliza- tion had been granted.
