Little Events IN a Chiaeae Hous,
hnlI


They have a nice little society
sensation in New Haven, Conn.
Ngeu Ngoh Leang and his family
have been for the past two years a
novel element in New Haven socie-
ty. N. N. Leang is a Chinese OIL
oial. He arrived IN New Haven
about two years ago as successor to
Chin Ian Pin, commissioner in
charge of the Chinese students who
are acquiring the rudiments Of IN
English education, preparatory to
entering Yale and other colleges.
Leang brought two pleasant little
Chinese ladies with him, and they
all three went to keeping house in a
fashionable quarter and in fashion,
able style. They entertained the
best citizens as well as they could
under their isolated circumstances
for neither of the ladies could
speak a word of English. Their
visitors without any inquiry sup
posed that one Of the ladies was the
commissioners wife and the other
either her or his sister. The ladies
were always together and harmo-
NOUS in their relations, so far as
appeared or still appears. But a
singular incident happened in that
house-in fact two incidents. Some
time ago one of the ladies had a
child. That was all right-she was
a wife. Quite lately the other lady
had a child-and the commissioner
was responsible for both. That
didn't look exactly right to Yankee
eyes. Then the commissioner was
obliged to explain that both women
were his wives. He had, perhaps,
unwittingly introduced a Chinese
custom, by bringing his family with
him to America. The little event
made a hutter. 0ficious meddlers
might make the commissioners
trouble under Connecticut laws, but
public sentiment is Supposed to such
a course in his case. His immediate
neighbors are Inclined to make due
as his family is an insti-
tuition of his native country, and as
he is a quiet. worthy gentleman.

Not an Annoyance.


Free Press
The other morning, as the driver
Of an ice.wagon halted his team in
front of a house on Columbia street
at half-past four, and was making
ready to hurl twenty-five pounds OF
ice against the gate with the usual
crash, the owner of the place came
around the corner of the house and
gently said:
"Might as well drop that on the
grass or fling it through a window,
Just as suits you best. And after
this you can shout at your horses
as you stop, or you needn't utter Il
word, You can also exercise your
own discretion about yelling at
other drivers a mile off,"
" Why, what's the matter ?"
asked the driver.
"My wife has left me, I've sent
the children away, the furniture is
mortgaged, and Pve reached that
point where nothing can annoy me.
| used to want to kill you for wax
ing up the whole house at daylight,
and once | did try to get your
range with my revolver, but that's
all past and gone. You can now
come up the street on a gallop, yell
like an Indian, smash the front
door in, break a window or two, or
you can creep softly up and let me
sleep on. This is a sad, cold world,
and | want you to take all the com
fort you can"
The driver has been thinking
over it. Before that morning he
was figuring to borrow a bass drum,
a pair Of cymbals, IL hand-organ, a
dinner-horn and shotgun, to help
along the good cause, but now he
seems down hearted and discour-
aged.
