The Wealthiest Chinaman In New
York.

Tom Lee is a short, slender man of
modest manner, and of an extremely re-
t1ring disposition. He wears stiff
Derby hat, into the crown of which he
pol1es his queue. This causes the hair
on the back of his head to stand out like
the quilts of an angry porcupine or the
hair on cats back rubbed the wrong
way He has tiny black mustache. and
a sparse growth of wiry black hair OH
his chin. He wears a diamond pin in an
old-fashioned scarf, and an eight-ounce
gold watch chain bangles from the third
button OF his waistcoat
He is well-to do owns three tea farms
in China, and is worth few thousands,
perhaps. He is very influential man
among Cinnamon. He is Christian. a
citizen, deputy sheriff, and is married
to girl who was born down town some
where in that neighborhood. She has
borne him n lovely little daughter, of
whom Tom Lee is justly very proud. He
talks pigeon English, but he dresses as
you and do, except that he wears his
queue. Very many among the 5000
Chinese in New York retain their pig
tails, not because they cannot go back to
China without them, or because of any
heather notion about them, but because
q good many Cinnamon who were cigar
cite or cigar makers in China have come
here from Cuba without their queues.
They were rid of those appendages in
Cuban prisons, where they were sent for
wrong-doing, and it is considered best
by respectable Chinaman not to cut off
the queue, 80 as to obviate the necessity
of explaining where and how it disap-

WASHINGTON NOTES.

A Washington dispatch to the Chi.
cago Times says that Capt. Howgate's embez-
element bids fair to show up $500, 600 on the
books The Attorney General has caused him
to be rearrested and held in 800, 900 bail. Gen.
Hazen believes that Howgate has for
four years appropriated to his own use
about one-fourth Of the mgnal-servics
fund, over which he had absolute control.
His private yacht on the Potomac was
actually constructed with Government money
In the back yard of the signal Office. His
method of securing signatures to blank vouch-
ers was audacious enough to entitle him to q
premium. He owns real estate in Florida, yir-
ginia and the District Of Columbia, and n
known to hold large quantities of stocks, from
which the public treasury may possibly realize
something.

Gen. Sheridan's Hat.

It is only natural that great Generals
who commanded thousands of men in
the late war should frequently meet men
in different parts of the country who
cherish some incident of war life with
which General and private were closely
connected. 1t is doubtful if Gen. Phil
Sheridan, whose famous twenty-mile ride
to Winchester has made his name famil-
lar to every household, ever met a man
who brought up pleasanter reminis-
cence than a brown-faced, hardy miner
did in this city.
Gen. Sheridan was idly sauntering up
and down the lobby of the Windsor Ho-
tel, deep in thought and complacently
putting at his Havana and blowing the
smoke into pretty little rings. Sudden
ly rough-loOking man, with face 80
heavily bearded that one could see moth
ing but the twinkling black eyes, ap-
preaching him and raising his hat with
awkward embarrassment, said:
GOOD morning, General"
The hero of Winchester returned the
greeting, touching his hat with military
politeness, and then, trying to peer
through the miners heavy beard to get
a glimpse of his features, the General
added:
I'm afraid I've forgotten your face,
SIR"
The eyes of the man from Gunnison
twinkled brighter than ever as he re-
marked:
Its not unlikely, General seems
we never met but once before, you
wouldn't be so apt to remember me as
L am you. It's seventeen years since L
saw you last. Things have changed
since then. 1t was on the battlefield
of Cedar Creek. Don't you remember
the soldier that gave you his horse when
yours was shot from under you by a
shower of canister from the masked
battery on the brow of the hill ?" and
the old man looked UP with eager pride
into the Generals face.
"That L do" answered the General,
with pleased interest and bright flash
in his eye, CT remember it we'll"
81 was that soldier" continued the
miner, proudly. 81 remember the Cir
cumstance well, sir. When you put
your spurs to my horse and galloped off,
yyu left your hat behind you, and
called to you as loud as 1 could, but
you replied, Never mind the hat, my
boy I've got that hat yet, General.
It's hanging in my cabin in the mount
ain," and the rough old fellows eyes
glowed with pleasure.
Sheridan grasped his hand and led
him to seat, and for half an hour they
fought the battle of Cedar Greek over
again. -DenUey Tribune.

POSTOFFICE STATISTICS.

The Postofhce Department has pub
lished statement which shows that
2,720, 234, 252 letters, postal cards,
newspapers, magazines, and other peri
odicals were mailed last year in the
United States. The number of letters
was more than one thousand and fifty
millions, an average of about twenty
one for every man, woman and child IN
the country. Tables are given which
show the number of letters mailed in
each State and Territory, with the
average for each person. The lowest
average is in Alaska, where there was
one letter mailed during the year for
every FIVE persons. Next to Alaska
is North Carolina, with an average of
5.6l. Then follows Indian Territory,
with an average of sos. Alabama,
Georgia. Kentucky, South Carolina,
Tennessee and West Virginia average

inhabitant. New Workers mailed on an
average over Al letters each during the
year, and the total number of letters
mailed in the State in 1880 was 2ll,-
435, $40, or more than one-ffth of the
whole number mailed in the United
States, In Massachusetts the average
tor each person was 1910;
in Connecticut, $500, while
Pennsylvanians contented themselves
with All average of 24.57 each, and
Ohioans with 1921 each. In the Dis
trict of Columbia the average is 1881
to each person, but this is accounted
for by its being the Seat of Govern
ment, and many Of the letters emanate
from the departments. and members of
Congress. The States and Territories
west of the Mississippi river do large
amount OF correspondence. In Wyom-
ing the average is above that of New
York, while in Montana it nearly equals
the Empire State, and Colorado is ahead
of all, except the District of Columbia,
the average being over So for each
person.

THE DEADLOCK AT ALBANY.

The New York Legislature has ad-
iourned until next Tuesday. A resolu-
ton to adjourn without day was de-
feated, both Stalwarts and Half Breeds
voting against it. All kinds of rumors,
some of them very improbable, are
telegraphed from Albany relative to the
situation. One is to the effect that a
coalition is being made by one of the
factions with the Democrats, and an
other is that an agreement is being made
by the Republican factions by which
Cornell is to be elected to succeed Platt,
and the Half Breeds are to be per-
mitted to name Conkling's successor.
These rumors are probably without
foundation, as it is not likely that the
Stalwarts, who are firm and confident,
would give up the contest at this early
day. Conkling has created sensation
by telegraphing Malone that his every
effort for the true advancement OF the
South, and to make elections free and
fair, has his whole heart, and deserves
the co operation of Republicans every
where. Representative Stalwarts say
this dispatch has great significance, and
predictions are made that it will have
a marked effect ON political affairs. 1t
places Conkling and his friends on
record as assisting Malone in breaking
up the Solid South and taking the op-
posite ground of that adopted by Gar
field and Blaine, who have advised the
Virginia Republicans to form no coali-
ton with the Readjusters. 1t is claimed
that members of the Legislature, who
vote against Conkling and Platt, oppose
the sentiments of Conkling's dispatch
to Malone, and places the Half Breeds
on record as being opposed to the true
advancement of the South and free and
fair elections. What effect this will
have in getting votes for Conkling re-
mains to be seen when ballot is taken
next Tuesday. 1t shows, however, that
Conkling and his followers are opposed
to the policy of the Administration.
not only in the matter of appointments
but in it's course towards the South.
