" CHINAMEN’S REGISTERED LETTERS;
...__._-.
Large lasinittances, Apparently Sent by.
. , (”them to China. ‘
People who have occasion to register
, letters or parcelsat the New York post-
oifice are often surprised at the large
. number of Chinamen they find bent upon
the same errand. Frequently there are
more Chinamen waiting {in line than
there are representatives of all" other
nationalities combined. Almost every
day from 25 to 50 remittances are made.
Sometimes three Or four Chinamen will
send drafts in one envelope, a device by
which they avoid paying the United
States the full charge for each remittance.
This charge is 8 cents on each letter ‘to
any part of the world. It is impossible
to learn the amount of money which is
sent out this way. The indications are
that it is‘ very considerable. Most of the
letters are sent to Hong Kong, San Fran~
cisco and Victoria, B. C. The addressees
are presumably agents of the Six Com-
panies, by whom the money remitted is
forwarded to its final destination. Very
few of the registered letters are sent to
the interior cities of China, although the
cost would be the same.
“We have no way of knowing,” said
one of the postoffice officials, “how much
the remittances made by the Chinese
amount to, but it is certain that every
cent they can rake or scrape is shipped off
somewhere. Unlike the Italians, who
emigrate by families and stick together
in this country, the members ofa Chinese
family are usually scattered all over the
world. The Italians send more regis-
tered letters than the Chinese, but the
amounts enclosed are generally much
smaller, it is believed.”
STERILIZED MILK.
The Simple Process by \Vhich All Bacilll
May Be Killed.
\Vhen there is a baby in the house the
city mother always looks askancc on the
milk which the dealer in the covered
wagon leaves at her door.
That is why sterilized milk—or milk in
which the bacilli are destroyed—has been ‘
so much talked about during the last few
years. In the cities, especially where the
milkman himself does not know whether
his stock is pure or not, the use of steril-
ized milk has grown to be an almost ab-
solute necessity for young children.
The housewife may do the work just as
well as anyone. An ordinary oatmeal or
custard conker may be used and the milk
heated to the proper temperature or 167’
degrees, which can be readily regulated
by a dairy thermometer, costing only 50
cents. Ordinarily this will render the
mill; perfectly safe for children to use.
The Yeast Did the Best.
1:“- is a custom in every good orthodox
Jewish family to bake Sabbath bread
Friday morning so as to have it fresh for
the first Sabbath meal Friday evening.
The Goldman family of 46.? North Wells
street was doomed to great disappoint-
ment on the last Sabbath, for they Were
deprived of the usual home baked bread,
and all on account of the cold weather
and a pet dog.
Last Thursday night Mrs. Goldman as
usqu prepared the dough in a large pan
and put the pan on a chairnearthe stove,
so that the dough might rise better. At
the usual hour the family retired. There
is a little pet dog in the house, which also
decided to retire for his rest, but he did
not find his old corner as comfortable
that night. The wind outside was blow-
ing, the mercury falling, and the old
corner looked desolate, and the dog
looked for a more cheerful place. The
blazing coals in the stove looked inviting,
and slowly the (log made his way to the
stove and then to the chair, where he
hoped to find his comfort. But that pan
with the dough appropriated too much of
the chair, and to overcome that the dog
decided to make his berth in the pan. He
carried his resolution into effect. The
warm dough soon covered up his little
body and the raging blizzard troubled
him no more that evening.
Friday morning Mrs. Geldman made
ready to bake the bread; she prepared
the stove, greased the small pans, and
started'to put» the dough in the pans.
She noticed that the dough had risen un—
usually well. But what was her horror
and what a scream did she give when in-
stead of dough she pulled out the little
dog.-—C‘hicago Daily Tribune.
Tammus' Little Joke.
The worthy beadlc in :1. rural district
in Perthshire had become too feeble to
perform his duties as minister’s man and
gravcdigger and had to get an assistant.
The two did not agree well, but after a
few months had elapsed Sandy (the
bcadle)died, and Tammns, his erstwhile
assistant, had to perform the last service
for his late partner. The minister, a bit
of a wag, strolled up to Tumnias while
he was giving the finishing touches to
the grave and casually remarked:
"llave you put Sandy wecl down, Tam-
runs?”
“1' hev that, sir,” said Tammas, very
decidedly; “Sundy‘may get up, but he’ll
be among the hindmost.” —Halifax

"WEAK NEIl_Il_lS_EPlDEMlC
WEAK NERVES WILL SURELY
BREAK YOU DOWN.
Nerves Are the Very Foundations
of Strength and Endurance.
if Your Nerves are Weak, Lose No
Time in Getting Them Strong.
You are growing older every day,
and if you do not wish the unpitying
years as lhoyroll on their relentless
way, to rob you of your hopes and joys,
your pleasures, your ambitions, your
very strength and energies, keep your
nerves strong andvigorous.
It is the nerves which soonest wear out.
You thoughtlessly use them up in work,
pleasure or dissipation, and suddenly
wake to find yourscll broken-down—
that only your body remains, bereft of
strength, energy and power, a mere
wreck of what you were and With only
dreariness, pa'n, weakness, and discon-
tent your future portion. Then you
realize the immeasurable depth of bit-
terness in Longfellow’s lines:
“0h, sudden thrills of fire and frost!
The world is bright while ye remain.
And dark and dead when ye are lost."
Health, hope, happiness—everything
is dependent upon strong and vigorous
nerves. It is weak nerves which give
to the young, fits, convulsions, hys-
teria, St. Vitus’ dance, and the myriad
nervous affections of youth. It is weak
nerves which make women constantly
tired, irritable, nervous, dispirited,
dragged-out and miserable. It is weak
nerves which conquer men in their
struggle for mastery in the world,
which render them nerveless, strength-
lees. powerless, with dull-feeling head,
shaking, shattered and unsteady nerves,
without appetite or good digestion, en-
feebled from sleepless nights and
wretched and discouraged from trying
days. It is weak nerves which make
age a curse instead of a blessing—a
body, a casket from which every power
and energy has fled, leaving only weak-
ness despair and ntte ‘ wearinece. _
If there is any advice, whicn above
another, should sink into the heart, it
is the admontlon to kee your nerves
strong. Hence, the words of Mrs.
Eliza E. Clements, of 126Br1ght St,
Indienapolis,1nd., should hsVe welght
With everyone. _
“I was efliicted for six years With
nervous deoihty. I could not sleep
nights, and I was in a terrible coed;-

so hard I thought I should die. I was
in constant misery and could do no
work.
“I had hza‘d much talk about the
wonders of Dr. Greene’s Nervura
blood and nerve remedy, and now
made up my mind to take it. I had
given myseli up for lost, but began to
improve immediately under the use of
this marvelous r=msdy.
MRS. ELIZA E. CLEMENTS. ,

THE DETAILSOF HIS oRiMs
Caesar’s Lawyer Cautioned Him Again:
Talking—The Prisoner. Extremely
Nervous-Both Sides Desired a
Brief Delay and Got It.
NEW YORK, April 5.—Wiliiam Caesar
the negro who is charged with having kill
ed the woman Whose mutilated body we.
feund wrapped up in a bundle in front 0
75 Sixth avenue on Sunday morning last
was brought before Police Justice McMa
hon in the Tombs police court today,
Detectives McCloskey. Armstrong am.
Riedy brought him down to court. He wa.
handcufi'ed to Armstrong. Instead of tak
ing him in as they do ordinary prisoners.
the detectives conducted Caesar through
the Franklin street entrance to the Tombs
and up a winding stairway to the court
room.
When tho sensation caused among thu
loungers in the courtroom by the appear
once of the murderer bud subsided, Mo
Closkcy stopped to the front, leaned 'ovei
the railing and whispered to Police Justice
McMahon. ‘
That happened just as William F. Howe.
who was to appear for Caesar. entered the ,
courtroom. Joe Moss of Howe & Hum-
mel’s office. who had been in court for
some time and saw what McCloskey did. -
hurried back to where Howe was and told
him that McCloskey was Whispering with;
the police justice.
Without losing a moment, and from his
position back near the door, Mr. Howo
roared out: ‘ .
“Stop, McCloskcy! That won't do! I
Want to hear all that is being Said about
my client. I believe we have some rights
here. "
The sudden roar of Mr. Howe startled
every one in the courtroom except Caesar.
McCloskcy started violently. and Police
Justice McMahon straightened up in his
chair as if a pistol shot had been fired be-
side him.
Caesar “Ins Very Nervous.
Mr. Howe had been advancing on the
court and the detectives as he kept up the
fire of warning words from his vocal max-
im gun, -and when he had finished he was
within the railing. Then he paused, and
both the court and the detectives hastened
to assure Mr. Howe that what they had
been talking about did not in any way con-
cern the case in which he was interested.
Their conversation, however, was not re-
sumcd.
There was a delay then, and after a few
minor cases had been disposed of the small
negro with the Zululikc features was call-
ed up to the bar. Caesar was not at ease
and seemed as if his nervous system, what
there was of it, was trying to recover from
some great sh ock which it had received yes-
terday. '
. McCloskey informed the police justice
that Superintendent Byrncs wished to
have Caesar remanded to the custody of
tho detectivosnuntil tomorrow in order that
he might have an opportunity to complete-
the case against him. I
Mr. Howe had no objections, as ho, took
Wished to bo prepared. So Police Justice"
McMahon remanded Caesar until 2 o’clock
tomorrow afternoon. Then Howo turned
to the negro and said:
“You must keep your tongue in your
head. You have said too much already.
Keep your tongue from protruding beyond
your lips.” Then he said to the court:
“Your honor, this is just such a case as
that of Meyer’s. In his case he was told
that his coffin was madc and his grave
dug. If he had held his tongue, he would
have been acquitted; but, as it was. he
only got .‘30 years. This case is about the
some. "
Caesar's Awful Crime.
Now that the Sixth avenue mystery is
mystery no longer it appears that the
reason why the man who placed the body
inside the rail in front of 75 Sixth avenue,
where hundreds of persons could see it,
was not discovered sooner is that he kept
perfectly cool and carried the body around
with him in and out of crowds, and even
on the platform of a horse car.
William Caesar—he is charged with the
murder—lived with the woman. who was
known as Mary Martin, at 148 West
Twenty-seventh street. Caesar is a West
Indian negro and was employed as a por-
ter in Youman’s but store, under the Fifth
Avenue hotel.
Caesar and the woman quarreled on
Friday evening last. It was not an un-
common thing for them to do, for he was
jealous of her and had cause to be. But
on Friday night last she threw a glass at"
him. and he, angered. jumped at her and
seized her by the throat. With his grip on‘
her throat she went down to the floor, and
there be pinned her until she ceased to
struggle and he thought she was dead.
He left her, and looking back saw that
she moved. He seized a piece of cheese-
cloth and wound it about her throat, so
that it strangled her to death. He slept in
the room adjoining the one in which the
body lay that night, and on the next day,
Saturday, attended to his work as usual.
On Saturday evening it occurred to him
that ho would havc to dispose of the body
somehow. He determined to carry it away
and went out and borrowed a. cleaver with
which to out up the body.
Disposing of the Body.
Caesar cut the legs from the body and
then wrapped it all up in a piece of rug
and a piece of carpet which he took from
the floor. He tied the bundle with clothes-
line. Thou ho took it in his arms and
started out with it. That was between 8
and 9 o’clock on Saturday night, when the
streets in all that section Of the west side
teem with persons.
Through the crowds he forced his way
to Sixth avenue and there boarded the first
down town car which came along.
Caesar intended to throw the body into
the river and thought he WOuld not be de-
tected if he threw it from some down town
pier. But the car on which he rode ran
only to the end of Sixth avenue, stopping
at Waverley place.
Caesar had ridden on the front platform.
where a number of men stood smoking.
Caesar had smoked a cigar while out there.
He got off the car at Waverley place. The
bundlewas heavy by that time. He rested
it on the railing in front of ,the building
occupied by the New York Bank Note com:
pany. It slipped and fell inside the rail»
lug. He could hardly see it.
He looked about a moment, saw that no
one was paying any attention to him and.
decided on the instant‘thathe would leave
it where it was. He walked. away. The
next day he spent in destroying what evi-
dence was left- in the rooms.
