The Clinton News-Record, 1910-04-28, Page 3AprIlitt8tb, 1910 A Canadian Governor Who Died of Rabies. That one Of Canada's Governor- GeaeraIs once died from tho effeets *et the bite of a Mad dog, is an his- terical fact of whie1. few people are nowadays aware. Yet tide was the untimele end of Charles Lennox, Dula, (if Richmond, .whis assumed the duties o Govereor of Canada on the.29th of July, 1818, and whose death occurred at Rechinond me August 28, 1819. The story of hie death is ;elated In detail in May Busy Itfan's, It seems that the Duke had been making ex- plorations in Upper Canada ad after parting with Lead William and Lady May Lennox at Kingston, had gone to dine with a detachment of officers stationed not far from Richmond. This was on August 23, and on the 25th the symptoms of that dreadful disorder which terminated three days later in hie death first presented themselves. Early that morning he alarmed his . valet by insisting that same trees - near his window were people loafing in, and when, some water was brought to him he evinced great abhorrence at the sight of it. On several occa- sions that day and on the 26th the symptoms became .but too obvious. So evident were they that a surgeon was sent for, who bled him, and his Grace found so math relief that he arose early the next morning, the 27th, and proposed walking through -eett— Cliatoa 14civsuRceord the woods of the new settlement of Richmond, During the progress of the walk, a dog was heard to bark in the dist twice, and his Excellency started to rim et such a rate of speed that he was with difficulty overtaken. Just at the outskirts of the wood, at the eight of some staenant water, his Grace hastily leaped over a fence and rushed into an adning barn, whith- er his dismayed companions followed hire. The paroxysm was at its height, and they feared he would die. It was only with great difficulty that they succeeded in removing him te a miserable hut in the neighborhood. While in this log • hut, reason oc- casionally resumed her empire, and, his Grace availed himself of these lucid intervals to write a letter to Lady Mary Lennox.. In it he reeprees- ea his t conviction that his disorder was hydrophobia, and be reminded her how he had been bitten by a favorite dog at the Castle of St. Louis, five months before. The eog had subsequently gone •mad, and the Duke felt irresistibly sconvineed of his own approaching fate. He recom- mended the line of conduct his chil- dren were te purse°, in the painful situatioe in which hi death would place them, and requested that he be buried like a, soldier me the raMparts of Quebec. The Battle is on in Chinatown. For the past week or ten days the eye of the New York police force* has been focused on Chinatown, and the usual number of officers has been doubled and even quadrupled in the Mott and Pell Street dis- trict. War has broken out be- tween the most powerful tongs, or Chinese secret socities. Since last August Chinamen have been falling thick and fast, and on Sunday, April 10, three New York Chinamen and two members of the same tong, in Philadelphia were murdered, and two more wounded. The assassins es- caped. The police intervened only in time to prevent the opposing tong from taking vengeance. But every- body in Chinatown knows that as -soon as the police go back to their regular beats, or even before, if a favorable opportunityoccurs, the gun men of the Four Brothers clan will .get into action and the score with the On Leong tong will be evened up,.• Little Bow Kum. The war between On Leong and the See Sing, or four Brothers tong, began last August, a pretty Chinese slave girl was the cause of it. Bo* Kum was her name, and she was im- ported by a member of the Four Brothere clan in San Francisco. Not • ..eaaselemeater her varies.' the eves Wooed and won by an unauthorized suitor, who was a member of no particular tong. They made a runaway match of it, and were married by a mission- ary. Realizing that to remain in San Francisco would mean certain death, they fled to New York and went in- to hiding. But New York is the headquarters of the Four Brothers. tong, and it was not long before the fugitives were discovered. Word was sent to San Francisco, and the message come back that both hus- band and wife must die. NQW, Bow Kum's husband had many friseds among the members of the On Leong tong, • a rival organization of the Four Brothers, and they persuad- ed him to become a member. Fron. that moment the quarrel ceased to be one between individuals, and became a struggle between the leihge. Murders Multiply. Little Bow Kum was the first to, all, and since then a dozen or more on each side have been shot to death. Not a murderer has been caught, and a writer in the Philedephia Ledger explains that the reason is that the assassins are almost invariably stran- gers, imported from distant cities to do their work. There is also the reason that , Chinamen, as a rule, prefer to settle thoa feuds without the assistance of the. white man's law, and prove untrustworthy ' wit- nesses in any prosecution. The cir- cumstances in which the • murders *usually take place tend to make de- tection almost inmessible. In the thronging streets, where moving Chinamen are packed, ahnost solidly from eide to side, the murderer presses a revolver to the Fibs of his victim and pulls the triger. Un- less he is seizedon the spot his 'de- tection is practically out of the ques- tion. Even if arrested, the fact that he is in possession of a weapon, is no evidence, for practically all members of the tongs - go armed. Moreover, the absenee of a reasonable motive would stagger a whitejury that has not access to the secrets of the tongs of Chinatown. . The Truce of the Tongs. The present outbreelt of hostilities in New York is the first in five years. The last feud was •between the On - Leong and the Hep Sing tongs, which cost a hundred ' lives, and might in time have wiped out thousands more had not a truce been effected. The treaty of peace was drawn 'up by Judge Warren Foster. It provided , that Mott street should be the ex- clusive territory of the On Leong tong; Pell Street the headquarters of the Hep Sing tong, an Doyers Street neutral ground. .The pact was faith- fully kept, and if the four Brothers tonghad. been inclUded in the ar- rangement, the present trouble might not have ocoured, But . five years ago the Four. Brothers was an in- significant body that no one supposed; capable of much Mischief. Hee Sing Bankrupted. Since then, however,, the Hee Sing tong has been practically bankrupt- ed by defending four lehilailephie Chinanient en' a murder charge. Its influence *as. almott destroyed when three of the .four were exoeuterl and the other sent to prison for life. Hundreds of disgusted, brethern re- signed when they -found that their tong had not "pull" enough to save its murdering members. In the mean- time, the Four Brothers, through - cunning management, was building itself up, until to -day, under . the chieftainship of old Sam Lock, Hee almost as powerful as the On Lecing tong, over which reigns Tom Lee, called . the King • of Chinatown. Branches of these organizations have been 'established in • many cities, and perhaps some of . the good Canadian coin a Toronto citizen hands over to his laundrynian goes down to be put in the strongbox of a tong, afterwards to be laid out in the purchase of amenition fer Chin- ese executioners. • • • Ontario's New Timber Policg. One or the most important steps ever taken by the Ontario Governmene for the preservation of the fames of the province was announced Friday by the Hon. Frank Cochrane, Minister of Lands, Forests and Mines. In adt dition to preserving the forests the change fin the Government policy will affect the Mintier trade, and will bring in a substentete increase in timber re.. evenue seat it 'Will not p.rove injurioiesalasea embarrass the inter- ' etra the lumber trade. In brief ths new policy is stated as follows : After getting all possible informa- tion, and listening to arguments of. these interested, the Provincial Gov- ernment has decided oe certain in. creases, which, while they will bring in a 'substantial increase in timber dues, will not prove injurious to or embarrasis the interests of the lumber trade. Dues on timber limits have been in - 'creased from $1.00 to $1.50 per thou- sand feet board measure. Dues on square timber have betn increased from $20 to $50 per thousand cubic feet. Hemlock dies have been in- creased by 25 cents per thousand feet, board measure. Other ianall, but un- important, increases also have been made. Ground rent late been increased from $3 to $5 a mile, making a uni- form rate all over the, province.. Theta rates will stand without change for ten years. The transfer fee has been intreased trent one dollar to five dollars a Owners of timber Ihnits Must in future pay thelr otte ere rangers. The Globe says :—The adopter; of Ontario's netv timber policy, as an- nounced by Hon. Fronk Cochrane, Minister of Lands, Forests and Mines, on Saturday, will result, it is thought in Government • eireles in early re- version to the Prostuce of many mil- es of territory now held under licens- es, and active opetation on the lim- its long held idle. The policy hits the speculator hard, heart distiects eave been held as in - talents for years without opera- tion the value of timber constantly increasing, and young saplings detel- °ping into merchantable trees. Nota few of the laree licenses are held by Ainericans. . Under the increase in ground rent the Province shares in the profits of the holdings to an ex- tent which will probably mean the immediate operation of meet of them, and the possible relinquishment of others. It is, The Globe understends, the intention of the ISIinist r te ut- ilize such territory as reverts to the Crowe, either cleared or otherwise for the purpose of eettlement where the country is favorable, and for re- forestation where deemed advisable.

Last Saturday was St. George'e Day, a festival which has possessed a distinctly English Character since the decree of the Oxford Council in 1222. But not until 1349, during the reign *ef Edward III. was St. George de- finitely recognized as the patron saint of Engeand, an honor sharedtwith Ar- agon and Portugal. However nation- al . the celebration M more ancient times, ite observance in England has not been generally marked by the patriotic, sentiment associated with the saint days of Ireland and Scot- lgnd, even Tho, in the latter ease., St. Andrew has had to give place to • Robert Burns. No doubt small come I tries that have found it difficult to , maintain their independence and nae' tonality against the pressure of more powerful neighbors., are apt to develop a pronounced patriotiene, but making every allow-ance for the posi- tion of England, as the predominant, partner in the United• Kingdom, it can ' scarcely be denied that Englishmen at home have not for a long time dis- played any marked enthusiasm over their national festival.. the democratic north, remains to be F.een, but certaiuly the gulf is not so great as that which existed between the highlands and lowlands of Se land only only a century and a half ago. At least Englishmen who have found new homes beyond the seas, have managed to keep alive the festival of . their patron saint. eTo-day, the St. , George's Society of Upper Canada will celebrate the seventy-fifth anni- versary of its foundation in 1835 by Lieut. -Colonel the Hon. Joseph Wells. 4In early provincial days, • St. George's Day wes kept as a. general holiday, a circumstance testifying to strong English proclivities. The so- ciety has always been favorably not- ed for its generous "contributions for charetable purposes, one of the most conspicuoust examples being its gift ef $250,000 to relieve the distress in Manchester during the cotton famine, consequent oe the United States civil war. Canada has no reason to dis- parage the English element in her population, because in a few install,- ces there may be lack of adaptabil- ity. -Englishmen, like every other race, have the defects of their quali- ties, and. these are pre-eminently the ,qualities which, modified to suit their new environments, are of the utmost importance in creating a strong law- abiding and self-reliant nation.

Gradually the light grew and grew, but no sun appeared, though their eyes ached in thew sock- ets. ehey wondered what cast the long shadows in front of them but not till broad daylight did they dis cover that they had been looking west instead of east. So to the eager welchers for the "great American novels' we might suggest that they take "TOM Sawvet" and eklacaleberry Pam," consider them as one hook, and whether the greet American novel was not written 30 or 40 years ago. THE GREAT HUMORIST, • If it is not exactly the sun, it is the roosapowerful beam of light that has illumined American literature in our day. Thefactthata man is famous as a humorist is almost as fatal to hie chances of being recognized as a great novelist as would be his equal notor- iety. as an imbecile. Mark Twain Was incomparably the greatest humor. ist of his generation, although he was the author of sonte poor jokes, too, especially in his later years, and bie cause he loved. to joke the public found it difficult to believe he could talk seriously. Once he delivered a serious, even a eolernn and grisly ad- dress on the horrors of vivisection, of which he was a strenuous opponent. The gloomiest paragraph went the round of the papers under "The Laugh Line," *Tunny Anecdotes," and other suitable. headings. •A lot of people who bad supposed that Mark Twaina vein of humor was failing chenged their opinion after reading the side- splitting effort on vivisection, and concluded that he was just reaching ripetperfection.
