PinafOre Mt Pixies.

Literally and nautically speaking the
Pinafore people were all ION deck' last
night at Pixies, jaunty, saucy, trim and
tidy, as the Unity Club can be on all occa-
sions. No larger audience ever filled Pixies
Opera-house with good humor and cheer
fulness than that which greeted every
movement of the Pinafore crew, from their
opening chorus of 1--WE Sail the Ocean
Blue" to the moment when ''Ral phi Rack
straw" leads the Captains daughter off, in
spite of fate and the First Lord of the Ad-
miralty.
The singing was all rendered in spirited
manner becoming spirited opera, the cos
tuning was elegant and strkingly appro-
pirate, and the scenery was fresh and hand
some. All in all, "Her Majestys Ship
Pinafore" sailed over the boards so smooth
ly and merrily, that everybody is loud for
repetition, which the Unity Club prom
ises for next Saturday afternoon.

CHINESE CHIN MUSIC.
Resolutions and Comments ON the Anti
Immigration Bill.

National Associated Press to the Star.
NEWARK, N. j., Feb. 25.-The New Jersey
Legislature in the lower House last night
defeated the resolution against the Anti
Chinese Bill "a to %. Both parties are
divided on the question.
New YORK, Feb 25-The New York Star
to-day saws that the Chinese in California
pay annually 5000, 900 in poll taxes, besides
property bro taxes and licenses. Dennis Kear-
neys property is his tongue, but unhappily
| that isn't taxed.
| PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 25.-The Baptist and
| Methodist Ministers each held informal
meetings yesterday and adopted resolu-
tions protesting against the Chinese Immi-
grafton Bill, and asking the President to
interpose his veto.
SAN Francisco, Feb 25.-The North
here, adopted a resolution of thanks to the
Representatives and Senators who voted for
the Anti-Chinese Bill.
New York, Feb. 25.-For the past few
years the Chinese people in this vicinity
have been quietly, gradually and steadily
increasing and their number hereabouts is
now considerable.
They are to be found in every direction !;
some at Long Island and some at Jersey,
but New York City appears to be the most
attractive place for them.
They are engaged in various occupations,
but mostly in the laundry business. An
intelligent Chinaman the other day opened
a good restaurant in that location OF the
city known as Chinatown.
The press noticed the opening because it
was something new in Chinese enterprise
in this city. At subsequent "layout''
reporters did justice-to the refreshments,
and bore witness to the Wholesomeness of
the food furnished.
1t has beeu said that the Chinese can
subsist well on food that would be in
tolerable for Americans; that they spend
but little money. and would work for much
lower wages paid other people in this coun-
try, but such does not appear to be the case
in New York, for here the Chinese are
sober, orderly and neat, and live comfort
ably.
They do business in the best places they
are able to occupy.
They charge at least market or current
prices for their labor or goods, and the
money they make is as well spent as the
fund majority of other people.
The Chinese here demand the highest
prices for laundry work although, as gen.
eral thing, it is not done in an excellent
manner; and first-class work of other peo.
pie is often preferred.

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-No tidings of the

Among the Fashionable.
Last evening two negro women sat
among the stylish white folks at one of
the fashionable theaters. They were unat-
tended by any male escort. A few years
ago the presence Of negroes in any part of
a theater here, except the gallery, would
have caused commotion and tumult.
Foreign Jealousy.
1t seems that American work and produce
are undermining the prosperity of several
foreign countries 1t is considered signif-
cant that their Governments are now
coming out in various forms favoring pro-
lection. Germany, in the way of duties
on American exports; England, in stopping
or checking our cattle trade; Italy, in for
bidding the import OF American pork or its
product etc. There are New Workers who
think some of the excuses given for these
changes of policy too thin
They Accept No Apology.
The Baptist preachers yesterday decided
to expel Rev. Justin Fulton from their
Conference.
