One OF The Interesting incidents ofthe
epidemic is told below ~ s5s ssftt y
Several years ago gentleman from Chi
cagos was travelling, in Florida, AT Jack.
| sonYiIle he was taken sick, and for a time
hls, life was despaired Of. All this time, he
was tenderly ,nursed by "a young widows q
Mrs Wilcox, and to her he felt he owed his
restoration to life and friends. Upon his
return TO his home in Chicago he communi-
Gated the facts to the Garden City Lodge of
Masons, OF which he was a; member. g'i;c;s

chase for its faithful nurse .asirleat gold
watch and chain, which, suitably inscribed,
was forwarded to, her by the Mastergof the
Lodge. .f,.,ss,..>.,if s.rs! gisft@tyi qali.4',.'
Years passed on and the young widow re-
married-this time to q sea-faring man. The
couple moved to New Orleans and lived in
happy, cheerful home, the pleasures OF
which were enhanced by the presence of a
| bright young lad, the fruit OF the wife's
former marriage. ... ras ....l ;u5ss :
| On the breaking out Of the epidemic mis-
fortunes accumulated over the heads OF the
| little household. "a.
The husband was thrown out OF employ
ment, and soon the wife sickened and died.
| The little gold watch was thought OF as q
means of producing aid. Instead Of the
pawnbroker, however, its inscription led
the husband to seek Masonic aid. The little
trinket was the taIisman that showed the
case worthy and we'll deserving OF Masonic
aid., All that was asked by the houseless
man was that the boy be sent to relatives OF,
the mother in California. With the re-
sponsibility for his care removed for time,
and the wide seas before him, he could fight

Effects Of the Paris Exhibition.
lTrom the New York Sum-


From Paris the news is that the CITY is
becoming more habltable. 1t is no longer
either so hot or so crowded as it was. But
the closing days Of the Exhibition are not
the least prosperous. The present daily av-
erage of visitors is 100000. The French
visitors are now mainly OF the middle and
Working-classeS.
! The amount Of money spent by the for
eigners seems to have surpassed all antlcl-
pations. But it is observed that the distri-
butiru OF it is not even. While fortunes
have been made 10y hotel and restaurant
keepers, and by dry goods merchants and
milliuerS, most of the other branches OF
trade have remained dull. It is hoped,
however, that general revival of business
will take place as soonca the Exhibition IS
closed. All the hotels will have to renew
their furniture and TO go into general re-
pairs, The retail trade will have to lay in
new stocks OF goods, and the return OF the
wealthy classes 10 Paris is expected to in
fuse new life into all those trades which the
presence OF mass of transient foreigners
has rendered stagnant. ..- ....... ~.
Curiously enough, the two classes OF busi-
ness-men who have suffered most through
the influx OF foreigners are the jewellers and
the keepers OF bathing establishments. Nat
urally the visitors to the Exhibition have
had no money to spend on iewelry. The
prices of everything were so eXorbitant that
it has been all they could do to pay their
way. The fact that the bathing establish
ments have lost money is said to be q direct
consequence of the uncleanly habits of the
Germans, the Russians, the Italians, and the
Spaniards, who have crowded Paris. A
large majority Of the French hotels have nc
bathrooms and but very few private houses
have any. The average Partisan goes al
least once week to one OF the bathing
establishments of his neighborhood. But
the foreign visitors seem to have been so alb
sorbed by the attractions Of the Exhibition
that they did not find time to wash them.

Damages for Lost Queues.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.

From the San Francisco Chron1clel -t
Suit has been commenced in the United
States Circuit Court by Long All Kit, Gou
Lin, Chong Long Ling, and Faag Wit.
against Sheriff Nunan to recover $4,000
damages alleged TO have been sustained by
them in the loss; OF their queues, which
were cut off while they were incarcerated
In the county jail. The papers are being
prepared in the contemplated suits OF fifteen
other. .Mongols, who are about to bring ac-
tions against MIR. Nunan also. Ho All Kow,
All Kong, Lee All Quong, and 10 Ah jim,
have actions pending in the same court
against the Sheriff for the loss OF sacred ca
pillary appendages, commenced some two
months ago. In the case OF Ho Ah kow,
NJ. C.. Hassett, counsel for Mr.. Nunan, filed
the ground was taken that the Sheriff had
the authority by virtue OF his Office as jail
keeper, and as q sanitary measure, to cut
the hair Of all prisoners, whatever their
color, to reasonable length, irrespective
OF any authority given HIM by any ordl-
nance. Judge Sawyer overruled the denur-
rer, and said that the position of jail-keeper
did not give the Sheriff the authority to act
in the premises The defendant then filed
an answer to the complaint, setting up that
he had his authority through and under the
Queue ordinance. To this the plaintiffs de-
murred on the ground that it did not consti-
tute a defence. The arguments on this de-
murrer will be heard on the first Monday IN
October. The filing Of these suits against
Sheriff Nunan puts him to considerable ex-
pense, as on every suit that is filed in the
United States Courts afee OF SO is required,
which must be paid before any papers are
drawn. Up to yesterday the queues OF all
Chinese prisoners, except such as are lncar-
cerated for violating the rure-air, law, have
been cut of. This distinction is made be-
cause it is on this particular misdemeanor
that the, Chinese who have the suits pending
were arrested, and the cutting was LETT in
abeyance until a decision was arrived ar.
The knowledge of this fact Is one OF the rea-
sons that the cubic.air violators prefer to go
to tab,, where they know their precious
queues are safe, r,,ther; than pay a fine. TO
stop all ueue-cutting within the Jail an in-
junction was granted by judge Wheeler
Yesterday, enjoining the Sheriff from the
Continuance OF this, in Mongolian eyes, pro-
fanation. Next Friday has been set to hear
the arguments on the Injunction.
