From the Philadelphia Record. “No more rock and rye candy or drops or wine cordial confectionery” is the ery of the different branches of the Woman's Christian Temperance union. The crusade has begun. and it will be a relentless warfare. It started at West Chester, and a big constable intends to seize all the rock and rye drops, and the dealers will be prose- cuted for selling liquor without a license. Both the Temperance Union ladies and the confectioners are determined to fight it out “if it takes all summer.” On Tuesday next this alarming feature of the confectionery business will be presented by several prominent temper- ance ladies at the meeting of the county com- mittee of the union, at 13th and Arch streets, and a committee will be appointed to begin a legal warfare, if thought advisable, against the venders of rock andryecandy. For some time the branches of the union in this city have under consideration the question whether the traffic in such candy without license was not illegal. In en interview yesterday the president of the Woman's Temperance union said: “If we can do anything, either legally or otherwise, to this pernicious practice it shall be done. have gone toa good many of the small retail candy dealers lately and requested them tostop the sale of rock and rye candy. Many of them complied with the request, but it is still manu- factured and sold in large quantities. Even small bottles of rock and rye are also vended. We certainly do object to this feature of the candy business. hy, all our children will be- come premature drunkards if it shall be allowed to continue. When once they get in the habit of purchashing such articles at candy stores, they will then take a nip on the sly in some se- clu beer saloon. ‘TIPSY CHILDREN. “Only the other day a lady friend of mine, who hasa couple of children, was terribly shocked by seeing them come from school their eyes all afire, cheeks inflamed and cutting the most curious pranks. In great alarm at seeing them so demonstrative and unsteady, she asked them the cause of their exuberant feeling. They blubbered out laughingly: ~We'se been eating rock an » There is great amount of whisky in rock and rye caudy, and it is of such inferior quality it easily affects those who essay to eat it. It is a Iamentable fact that even candy cannot be mavufactured without placing some strong drink in it. Just look at those wine cordials that are sold daily to the young by unscrupu- lous dealers. “There is tty little port wine drop to suit the palate of one, there is the sherry drop to please the taste of another, and soon ad infinitum. These ought also to be suppressed. The question to be decided, how- ever, hether the sale of such candies with- out a license can be aproved illegal. If we can we will fight against it grimly.” “No one can estimate what evil those perni- cious drops really have on children,” said an- other member of the Temperance union. “I bave seen them after eating it behave very un- seemly. Do you think we can win if we take up this fight?” Well, perhaps we can; but still, that remains to be seen. The law. like men, somewhat fickle and extremely pliable.” WHAT THE ROCK AND RYE MEN say. The manufacturers of cordials and rock and rye candy claim that such action upon the part of the temperance ladies is a species of fanati- cism. “Whiy, if ac could eat ten pounds of rock and rye candy,” said a well-known confec- tioner of this ci terday, “it would not make him or her intoxicated in the least. I admit that there is some little of intoxicating spirits in such candy, but it is very small. 1 do not suppose there is one-quarter of a thim- bleful of whisky in twenty-five rock and rye drops. These people cannot do any harm to us, and all ir talk is mere twadd! tthe members of the union in- gate just how much spirituous liquor is contained in the different kind of drops, and will begin a series of experiments as to the effect that « pound of rock and rye candy will have on a person. Threatening the Foreigners. CHINESE REBELS GIVE NOTICE OF AN INTENDED MASSACRE. The steamer Arabic, which arrived at San Francisco Monday night. brings Hong Kong news to February 28 and Yokohama advices to March 11. In Shantiing the anti-foreign ex- citement runs high. Februar: id at Chefoo the Europeans feared at attack from mutinous troops. As no man-of-war was there, intense excitement prevailed. No attack was made, however. A miss.onary from Chi-Hal-Yu states that the Chinese in that city have posted plac- rds giving notice that they intend to mas- re all Christians before long. — a The Fever in Chicago.

He hac « passion for music and for drink. An in- stance, illustrating the awe produced by roy- alty on the average European, is related in connection with a western girl of distinguished eounuections, She was @ fine musician, and, while sojourning with relatives in a hotel some- where on Lake Geneva, used to play by the hour of anevening in the public reception | room to the delight of all who heard her. One night, while the sat at the piano, anelderly man approached, and, leaning on ‘the piano, complimented her playing, asking if he might stay and listen. She was pleased at the atten- tion. and consulted his tastes in her selections, discussing music in the intervals. A foreign woman, at a near window, listened and watched eagerly. When the music lover took his leave he wpproached the American girl, and, with evident envy,exclaimed: “He must have been intoxicated.” “Why, what do you mean?” in- quired the astonished amateur pianist. “Do you know who that is?” asked the foreigner. “No.” “Well, he is the king of Holland, incog- nito, aud he never would have condescended to address « stranger in such a friendly manner if be had been sober.” The prairie princes# laughed and replied: “We are all peers of royalty at home.” The king soon returned, listen long and respectfuliy. The European snob, with her friends, could not comprehend the perfect indifference of the charming Ameri- ean to the sovereign’s attentions, which seemed to consider her due, even from the king of the Netherlands, ———eee-____- Tue Caprarn-Geserat Dines Mr. CLEVELAND.

From Youths Companion, The venerable John Allen, archdeacon of Sa- lop, was a frank, fearless man. One of his rules of life was that if he said anything con- demnatory of any person, he was bound to tell him of it. Obedience to this rule got him into more than one serious difficulty. On one oc- casion he was told that a bishop, second to none in influence and ability, who was accus- tomed to write when he traveled, had kept some people out of a railway carriage by say- ing ‘‘oceupied,” when in reality the next seat to hian was cally tanauted by his papers. “Then he told a lie,” said the archdeacon. On his return home he wrote to the bishop what he had said and ended the story with the words: ‘I am sorry that, if my information is correct, I cannot withdraw the statem: The victim of the archdeacon’s candor at once wrote to Mr. Allen's bishop, the bishop of Litch- ld, a letter of complaint and Mr. Allen was advised to make an apology. He complied by writing the following note: “My Loab: The bishop of Litchfield tells me I ought apoloxize for my letter to your lordship. Therefore . Your lordship’s faithful servant, “Joy ALLE! ‘The fearless archdencon was no respecter of persons. A nobleman once subscribed toward the building of achurch. The money was not forthcoming and the archdeacon wrote for it, but received no reply. He then called on the nobleman, and, after being kept waiting some time, was admitted to an interview. The noble- man, on being asked to pay the subscription, declined to do so. “Then. as I hold your written promise,” said the archdeacon, “I shall put your lordship into the county court.” His lordship did not like the prospect, and accordingly gave a check for the amount of bis subscription. “God loves a cheerful giver and has no re- gard for offerings extorted by fear,” said the archdeacon, tearing up the check and throwing itin the The nobleman. having learned a lesson through the encounter, afterward sent the | money to the fearless’ archdeacon with un apology. pe Sei Buried at Spring Grove Cemetery. THE LAST SAD RITES OVER THE REMAINS STANLEY MATTHEW The burial of Stanley Matthews, late associ- ate justice of the United at Spring Grove cemetery oF DEATHS AMONG CHINESE. Some Interesting Facts Gathered in San Francisco. From the San Francisco Bulletin. The deaths among Chinese in this city pre- sent some features which are of interest. As nearly all of the members of our Chinese colony are adults, between twenty and fifty, the num- ber of children being so small as to cut little or no figure in matters relating to our Mon- golidn population, and the number of Mongo- lians over fifty being very small, it would natu- rally be expected that the death-rate would be lower than that of the entire population of the city. In acommunity where the average num- ber of children are born the death-rate is made high by the deaths among the little ones. For instance, of the 4,871 Caucasians who died in this city in the fiscal year 1886-87, 926 were children under one year of age, and 1.119, or 23 per cent were under two years. During the same year there died 488 Chinese, of whom only 48 were under 20 years of age. It would, there- fore, be na to suppose that the death- rate among the population of Chinese adults would be far less than that among the rest of the inhabitants of the city. This, however, is not the case, The death-rate among the Chinese, estimating their number at 22,000, which is not far ont of the way, was 22, while that of the white population was only 17. The death-rate among Chinese, of persons of 20 years of age and over, was 20; among whites, 10.9, Of the total deaths in each class the Chinese show 90.2 per cent above 20 years, and whites 62; under 20, Chinese 9.8 per cent, whites 38. These figures will, to those accustomed to study vital statistics, show a terrible state of affairs among our Chinese population, Such a high death-rate among adults means some- thing. One who knows little or nothing about Chinese and their mode of life would at once say that they were afflicted with an epidemic of some kind; but those who know them see at once that it’ is simply the manner of living which causes so many deaths among those who should have a strong hold of life. Cheap food, the custom of herding together in unhealthy quarters, their willingness to live in filth, all of which enables them to underbid white labor, together with the use of opium and the prac- tice of almost every known vice, makes a death- rate which should teach much to those who may think that Chinese are not so bad a portion of our population as they are painted. Habits of life which kill so large a part of the adult pop- ulation each year should not be made a stand- ard which the white laborer must conform to in order to keep his soul in his body. It would be better for him to die at once than to consent to supplant Chinese at such a cost as would shorten the number of his days one-half. a A STRANGE RE TMENT. A Father Who Did Not Speak to His Daughter for Fifty Years. Ballietville, Pa., Special to the New York Sun. Fifty vears ago James Martin, a well-to-do farmer living near this place, refused to pur- chase his fifteen-year-old daughter a dress that she very much coveted, on the plea that he could not afford it. It was afew days before St. Valentine's day. The daughter was a quick-tempered girl and took her father's re- fusal to purchase her the dress much to heart. On St. Valentine’s day Farmer Martin took from the village post office a valentine ad- dressed to him in his daughter's hand- writing, It was a rough caricature, re resenting a miser counting and gloat- ing over his money. There lived in the neighborhood a man of that kind. He had a niece whom he treated brutal] When farmer Martin looked at his valentine he showed it to his wife, simply remarking that he had not ex- ected such a bitter and unealled-for insult on their child, Mir. Martin took the girl to task about it. The daughter at once declared that she had not sent the valentine to her | father, but, on the contrary, had mailed him a very complimentary one, entitled “The Honest Farm t having been her custom since she was a little child to send him a valentine year. The old miser’s niece had obtain valentine Farmer Martin received to s her uncle. Farmer Martin's daughter was with her when she bought it. The two girls had sealed their valentines at the same time, and the Martin girl took them both and addresse them. In doing so she got them mixed, and sent the miser’s valentine to her tather. In spite of all explanation, Farmer Martin could not be brought to belie story. From that day he n She married and lived on a father's. rm adjoining her With her husband and _ her children Farmer Martin was on the kindest and most familiar terms, but he never noticed his dangh- ter. Last week he died. He left an estate val- ued at $45,000. To his aged widow he left £30,000. ‘To his son-in-law he bequeathed the remainder of the estate, provided he survived his wife, the farmer's daughter, If the son-in- law died first then the $15,000 was to be divided mong his three children, ‘To hia daughter armer Martin bequeathed “a package to be found in his trunk, tied with a green ribbon, and sealed with green wax.” When this was opened it was found to be the unfortunate valentine that had caused the extraordinary estrangement of the farmer from his daughter fifty years ago. soe Gen.

Fey neni genta teame Pas a ‘veeth In presenting THE EVENING STAR in tte new dress and improved form, attention is called to its Pecullar merits as a news and family paper, a@ Well as to the extraordinary advantages it affords to advertisers. sligh professional authority—which in this im stance only expresses public sentiment—bas de clared that “THERE IS NO BETTER EVENING NEWSPAPER IN SHE UNITED STATES” thea THE Stan. But even more than this may be justly claimed for it. In all that relates to the compose tion of a first-class journal, devoted to news, bum ness, family and local affuirs, it takes rank with the very best in the world, and in the special quale ities named it is not surpassed by any. With alert, intelligent and fr ial special correspond- ents at all centers of interest, by the free use of the telegraph, and with the superior mechanical facilities with which its office is equipped, it covers the whole field of news, and is able to presenta reflex of the entire civilized world each day up te the very momentof going to press. In these re Spects THE STak is absolutely without @ rival, and | fearlessly challenges comparison, within range | the territory it occupies. In its treatment of public affairs it is impartial | €nd aims to be fair and just to all taithsand intere x | este, and it is absolutely independent, in the bighe | *St and broadest sense of the term. In the publie | cation of news it records facts without bias of color, and in the expression of editorial opinion it is as steady and firm in advocating and promoting only what it believes to be right, as it is persistent in condemning and opposing what it believes to be Wrong. It is, in brief, wholly untrammeled by any other interest or consideration than thatof serving | the public, and securing as far as possible the wele fare of the family circle, and of society asa whole, With these general objects in view, what Tas | STAR specially concerns iteelf with, and that te | Which it gives its best efforts, may be brieny de scribed as THE INTERESTS OF WASHINGTON AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. To these the paper has been unswervingly devoted since iw present management assumed its direction, and this policy will characterize the future career of the paper as prominently as it has marked ite past history. AS AN ADVERTISING MEDIUM. ‘The EVENING STAR claims to be, and can com clusively establish that it 18, the best local advertise fing medium in the world! NO OTHEN PAPER PRINTED: | CIRCULATES 80 MANY COPIES IN THE CITY OF ITs | PUBLICATION, IN PROPORTION TO POPULATION. It ip hardly too much to say that it is read by the mem bers of every family in the District of Columbia. It is peculiarly the favorite of the home circle, and 1s no less esteemed in the counting room and the ‘Fork shop, It follows, therefore, that a» an ageut f publicity within the National Capital aud con- tiguous territory it has no rival An announce. ‘ment in tts columns practically meets all eyes, and, in proportion to the service it gives, its advertising Fates rank with the lowest in the country. Beiny | low, they are rigidly adhered to. There only re- | mains to be added on this head, as an indication | of the esteem in which the paper is held bythe | business public, which best understands its owa | interests in this respect, that, both in the number | of subscribers and of new advertisements printed, | each year in the history ot the paper shows a large | increase over its predecessor. For example, during | the frst nine months of the present year | the average daily circulation of the paper bas been 26,681 copies, and the whole number of new advertisements printed 39,683, against an average daily circulation of 25,427 copies and 33,594 new advertisements dur. ing the corresponding period in 1887, In short, THE STAR has never taken a backward step, and its conductors are determined that it never ehalt *akeone.

Itie in every respect a first-class family journal. Ite news is carefully collected, and may be depended upon to be fresh andautheutic. Its scientific, lite. rary, household and agricultural departments are edited with the view of meeting the wants and tastes of an intelligent and reading public, and of affording assistance to the student and thore ia pursuit of general information. Some of the most noted and learned men and women of the counup are contributors to its columns. Its ample tele, graphic arrangements and full corps of special correspondents enable it to lay before its readers every week all important happeuings, foreign and domestic, and especialiy such political, social, an@ current events as are worthy of note, in the stateg of Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, North Carey lina, and those adjacent thereto. ‘The low price at which it is published, ONLY ONE DOLLAR A YEAR, brings it within the reach of all.
