THE LAsKER BANQUET.
Honors Paid the Great German Liberal by
His Admirers Last Night.


His Admirers Last Night.
! The banquet in honor of DR.. Eduard Lasker
at Abner's hall last night was attended by
about 1875 gentlemen, nearly all OF them
prominent German citizens. Among the
guests were Messrs. Chr. AK and G.. W..
Gail, and Mr.. Edward F. Leyh, manag-
ing editor of the Correspondent, OF Baltimore;
Mr.. Paul Schulze, Hon. Simon. Wolf, Hon. r.
Guenther, of Wisconsin; Hon. L. Brentano,
Hon. p. V. Deuster, Prof Rau, of the Smith
sonian institution; Mr.. l.. SChade, Mr.. A.
Cluss, and others.
Aster the first toast, 1.-THE President of the
United States" formal welcome was ex-
tended to the guest by the president, Mr..
Shulze. The second toast, Our Honored
Guest-a leader Of German statesmen and
patriots, and representative of liberal prin-
ciples-we express for him our respect" was
responded to by DIR. Lasker, who was greeted
with hearty applause. He spoke at length,
stating that he had not undertaken his trip
through the United States for pleasure only,
because at his age one does not make such a
trip for that purpose merely, but for political
observation. He believed that Germany had
entered upon path that led away from the
straight path Of progress, and that the United
States were occupying that position among
the nations, where the principles Of civiliza-
tion and progress were now most
active. This activity seemed in the course OF
history to be rotating and changing from one
country to another, and he was rejoiced tC
tind.that his expectations in this respect had
been fully realized.
The fourth toast was THE United States
of America-a free and happy nation, whose
future is as safe as its past has been glorious
il was happily responded to by Hon. Lorenzo
Breniano, of Chicago. The next toast con
cuded the regular toasts, and was as follows
"The congress of the United Statcs-a rea

hberations as is the spirit of our cOnstitu

BURNING HIM UP.
How an Unfaithful Chinese Wife
Got Rid of Her Husband.

Hon. John A Holderman, U 8. Min
lister in Bangkok, Siam, sends to friends
letter containing the following account
of mur Ter therei
"Oa the morning Of the 9th OF De-
cemher Chinese sailor, named Ah Lin,
was murdered by his wife in most hor.
rible manner. 1t appears that the wife
of the murdered man did not like her
husband, and during his frequent absen-
ces at sea she used to admit number Of
lovers at various times. On the evening
Of the 26th the murdered man left his
house TO join his vessel. Suspecting the
infidel;ty of his wife, be returned home
between the hours Of two and three in
the morning, ana found his wife in bed
with one of her lovers, who quickly
made bis escape. The wife eventually
appessei her husbands wrath, and sup
plying him with plenty of samshoo, and
making him druGk. When he lay down
and went to sleep his wife saturated the
bed With kerosene oil and poured a lot
over him; she then set FIRE to the bed
and made her escape. The man was
rescued by his neighb nrs after having
been horribly burnt. He rallied little,
hut succumhed to his injuries on the
2S,h OF December. The murderess was
caught on the 2S.h and taken to the Hal
fsngs Yamen, where she will be tried,
and il found gnilty probably the second
act of horrible tragedy will take place
According to Chinese laws the wife who
murders her husband is.to be fayed
alive, the punishment 'metimes lasting
two or three days, as the executioners
are very careful not to touch vital
part"
