Canton, Aug. 6.
As an anti-climax to the reign of superstition which characterized the waning days of Chen Chi-tang's rule, the local police authorities fave ordered all fortune-tellers, oracle readers, and the "wind and water" masters to stop their practices or get out before September 1. All vernal cular papers have been told not to accept any more advertisements from these people and they probably will abide by the new ruling not without some chagrin, as the fortune-tellers have been the largest advertisers in the papers.—Central News.
