Perils Of Wall Street.

Says the New York correspondent of
the Detroit Free Press: 9Yf7E
There isn't better place in the Unit
ed States to stay away from. than Wall
Street. l know five men who went
there to try their luck about year ago.
One was q confidential clerk in q for
eign house that operated largely in the
street. He was in a good position to
get points," and the understanding
was that the others should operate up
on them, letting him id for share of
the profits in consideration of the infor-
nation he should furnish. These FIVE
formed little ring with cash capital
of about $4,000. They hadn't the
slightest doubt about doubling it in six
months. They were to be on equal
ground with the biggest operators so
far as "points' were concerned, and no
such word as fail could be found in the
lexicon of their calculations. Where
are they now? Well, tie confidential
clerk is in lunatic asylum. One of
the others is street-car conductor at
$l.75 a day. A second is clerk in an
insurance office at $40 week. A third
made his way West toward the Black
Hills, and has not since been heard
from. The last of the party of
five still hangs around the street,
watching the indications, but un-
unable to put up even five dollars
in bucket shop. Their whole capital
melted away in three months, and they
were left without dollar. Here is an
other case. A retired business man of
my acquaintance considered himself too
smart to be beaten at any game. He
lived in fine style, kept horses and
carriage, and was well known in socie.
ty. The Wall Street fever struck him
and he beganyto speculate He made
out pretty well at the start, and that led
him into larger operations. In less
than six months from the day he put
up his frsts810,0O0 margin, he was an
insolvent debtor, with suits against him
by the brokers, through whose hands
all his money had passed !! He now

Coolie Transports.

It Is reported that the Chinese
are about to establish a steamship
line Of their own, and that its chief
employment will be to transport
coolies to the Sandwich Islands and
to the United States. OF course it
is vshemently asserted that the
Chinese Government will prevent
the large emigration which this en-
terprise seems to render possible,
but the newspapers of Shanghae
and Hong Kong profess to be GER
tain that the new line will be chief
ly used in the coolie traffic. The
whole scheme will doubtless be
conducted with the usual shrewd-
ness and cunning of Chinese traders
and if the coolie traffic promises to
be the most profitable, the coolie
traffic will be carried OH. Mean
while it will be well for the United
States Government to protect the
Pacific Coast from any further in
fux of the Mongolian race.-San

A CHINESE LorHARIo.
A Moon-eyed Lepcr Charged with Stealing the
English Wife Of Another Ohinaman,
New York Star, october 60 ]

New York Star, october col
John Dick Sing, the Chinaman,
who, as told in yesterdays Star, is
In Ludlow Street Jail, charged with
clipping with Charles Hee Sings
English wife, was visited by a re-
porter yesterday. John, who is
known as John Dixon, parts his
hair In the middle and wears a
mustache. He denied Hee Sings
allegation, and said he, "Nevel
walkee way will him WIFE," Char
ley Hee Sing, he added, was bad
man. He went too Hee Sings
boarding house because he had
little money and wished to live
sheap cheap.n He denies having
carried Mrs. Hee Sing any wine or
intoxicating "dlinks.n He spoke
more English than Hee Sing; the
woman often talked to him, and
asked him to 'idlink glassee bee"
Knowing the fashion of "Eulope,n
he did not feel at liberty to refuse,
though 1t Is not the Chinese GUS
tom to drink with any woman
other than one's wife. Because of
this mark of preference, Hee Sing
"got down on him."
Late one night when he arrived
home he found Mr.. and Mrs. Hee
Sing and Mrs. Yung, ian Ilish
lady, wife of wash Chinaman," sit
ting In the parlor, and he socIably
sent out for q pint of beer. Mrs.
Hee Sing did not drink. but Mrs.
Yung was pleased with John and
asked him to "sittee neala" her,
and asked his name. Mrs. Hee
Sing, 1t appears, was in sarcastic
mood, and told Mrs. Yung that
John had the same name as her
husband, and that they were broth
ers. John was equally puDgent,
and retorted that, supposing Hee
Sing was "darkeyn and named
William, and a white man was also
named William, that would not
make them "bloddes.n Where
upon Hee Sing, saying that was
aChlistian FASH and not Chinese
fashion, proceeded to anathematize
John for going back on his people
and country. John is a Roman
Catholic. Mrs. Hee Sing attempt
ed to restrain her husband, and
was answered in terms uncompli-
mentary to her chastity. John
then asked for his bill, and an
nounced his intention to go away.
Mrs. Hee Sing then said that she
should go away also.
John returned to the Navy Yard
and his post in the cooks galley of
the frigate Constellation.
On Monday afternoon Mrs. Hee
Sing and Mrs. Yung called on him,
and the former told him that she
had left her husband and found
John a better boarding place. But
John, who, to credit his story, is
Mongolian Joseph, professed him.
self contented with his Brooklyn
boarding house, and said he wished
to remain single, as he had hardly
enough to keep himself. On the
next day Mrs. Hee Sing
called again, and though be
drank beer with her, he did
not, he says, accompany her. 1t
was when he returned to Hee Sings
house for his trunk that Charley
set the minions of the law after
him. John pathetically concluded
his tale by saying, with tears in his
eyes: III nebbe had anything do
wild WON, and no lun way wild nod
der mans wife. When gettee out
be shamee lookee anybody in

Ia dispatch the other day stated
that Dick Sing had once more run
off with Hee Sings wife. They
