THE COMMISSION OF THE
"TERRIBLE."
THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1903.
CHATRE'S CIRCUS,
MASTER IN TROUBLE.
It will be remembered that some months since Hongkong received a visit from Chatre's dress. The members appear to bave been experiencing an interesting time since leaving the Colony, if the following, from a San Fran cisco journal, dated 17th ult., is correct -
Kashinath Vinayak Chaire, the "Master" of a circus composed of Hindoo men, women and children, was arrested yesterday by Police- nien McMurray and Taylor on a charge of felony embezzlement. The complaining wit- ness is T. K. Kuppurao, an actor in the em play of Chatre. It is alleged by Kuppuras that several months ago, in far-off Bombay, Chatre presented him with a goli bracelet; that later Chatre took the bracelet from him, and that he has ever since and does now refuse to return the property to its rightful owner values the bracelet at about $90 in lawful money of the United States,
Kappuran
When Chatre was booked at the City Prison he was accompanied by hi. Hindon manager, and he had his buil re ript with him. Upon being taken into rustudy he had gone to a locd bank and drawn out $500 in cash, the amount of his bail..
With the doings of the Naval Brigade in the operations in South Africa and China the British public are in a general sense well acquainted. Everybody knows that it was the sailor-man's 4.7in, gun that saved Ladysmith from falling into the hands of the Boers, and helped more than any other arm of the Services. to carve out the way to the beleaguered town for the relieving forces. And his Majesty's ships Terrible and Powerful are the two vessels which form the centre of a story of enthralling interest. But it, has been left to Mr. George Crowe, master-at-arms of the Royal Navy, to tell the story in all its enticing detail, with particular reference to the commission of the Terrible. The book is well written, and is doubly interesting from the fact that not only does it deal principally with the Terrible's particular history but there is a logical and impartial history of events relating to the Anglo-Boer and North China wars, Insomuch as concerns the naval participation in those two campaigns. In the course of his intro: ductory remarks the author points out the difference that has taken place in the personnel of the navy since Nelsonian days. Then, be peints out, seamen were generally recognised Aside from the bracelet affair, it is claimed as volatile and illiterate. "Now they ar by Kuppurao and by the Hindoo barber of the mustly men with certain social refinement, cicus, that Chare neglects to provide, his with developed faculties and scientific attain-charges with sufficient food and clothing, and ments, as the result of the national compulsory educational system, the comprehensive service training imparted, and of foreign travel; and, as has been recently attested, are as capable as ever of performing their duly to. King and country." In a clear and entertaining style, Mr. Crowe engages the interest of the reader at ence, and conducts him by easy stager along with the men of the Terrible (tom March, 1898, when the vessel was commissioned, until October last year, when it was paid off, after the successful completion of a commission which was brimful of interesting and dramatic experiences. At the outset one is struck with the extraordinary preparedness of the naval brigade for emergencies. Thus we have it that on October 25 General Sir George White telegraphed to Admiral Harris
The Boer guns are outranging my guns. Can you let me have a few naval guns?
that, in consequence of this, the men, women and children are suffering in their quarters t Central Park, where the Hindoo show has been on for several weeks past.
la defending himself against the charge of embezzling Kuppurao's bracelet, Chatre claims that the bracelet was given to Kuppurso dur ing a performance in Bombay about eight months ago, and that it was never intended that the trinket should became the property of Kuppurao. The public presentation, as Chatre says, was made for the purpose of impressing the pairons of the show with the lavishness of Chatre. After this object had been accom. plished the bracelet was taken back by Chatre. and the title to the proper y never at any time passed to Kuppurao. According to the Indian practice, as stated by Chatre, the bracelet would have borne wards of presentation had it been the purpose of Chatre to give the hrcele! In proof of

On November 30, within larly-eight hours of the receipt of General Buller's telegram accept- ing the proffered apparatus, it was on the way, and at midnight it was communicating from Frere with the Ladysmith garrison.

The specific complaint made by the barber of the circus to the police was that Chatre had refused to give him any dinner. In reply to

skill.
General Buller in his despatch of March 14, 1900, said of the naval uns that they were able to keep up fire with common shell Inng after the Royal Field Artillery were obliged to cease their shrapnel." One cannot help shud- dering at the thought of what might have happened but for the splendid work done by the Naval Br gade.

As to Kappuray it is claimed by Chatre that die man has given a great deal of trouble by his dissolute habils, Wine wil women, says Chaire, are the princi al weaknesses of Kup-. purao, and he is always importuning the "master" for money with which to indulge himself along these lines. Chatre says that while the circus was in Japan Kuppurao led a riotous life, even going so far as to pawn several gold medals that had been presented to him for his good work on the horizontal bars.

A FOOLISH OLD IDEA.
It was once thought that a medicine was all the more beneficial for having a nasty taste and smell. We now know that such an idea is perfect nonsense. There is no more reason why medicine should offend the senses than why food should do so, Therefore, one of the greatest chemical victories of the past few years is what we may call the redemption of cod liver oil. Everybody knows what a vile taste and smell this drug has in its natural state. No wonder most people declare they would rather suffer from disease than take cod liver oil, and the emulsions are quite as foul and abominable as the plain oil, no matter what may be alleged to the contrary. Now it is one of nature's laws that a medicine which disgusts the nose and the palate, and also sickens the stomach, can have no good effect as a medicine; because the system revolts against it, and cries out to be delivered from it. In
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
the desired miracle is wrought, and we have the valuable part of the oil, without the other. This effective modern remedy is palatable as boney and contains the nutritive and curativa properties of Pure Cod Liver Oil, exiracled by u from fresh cod livers, combined with the Compound Syrup of Hypophosphites and the Extracts of Malt and Wild Cherry. The palate accepts it as it does sugar, confectionery or cream. Taken before meals it goes to the very secret stronghold of digestive disorders: prevents and cures Nervous Dyspepsia, Anemia, Throat and Lung Troubles and alt diseases due to impurity of the blood, Dr. G. C. Shannon, of Canada, says: "I shall con- tinue its use with, I am sure, great advantage to my patients and satisfaction to myself." Has all the virtues of cod liver oil ; none of its faults. It was made to cure and it sells because it cures. One bottle convinces. Fffective from the first dose. "It never dis appoints." Sold by chemists the world: over and A. S. Watson & Co., Limited.

But whatever may be the views of Chatre upon the question of the relation of master aud servant, he will have to go into the Police Court to-day and defend himself against the criminal charge laid against him by Kuppurao. It is quite probable that the hearing will be embellished with much testimony concerning Hinden rites and customs, and the Judge whi shall hear the case wil, no doubt, be confronted with many · ovel points of law.
