A California Court Scene.

The case of three Mongolians who
claimed right to land came up in the
circuit court before Judge Sebin yes
terday morning. Two of them claimed
to have resided here in times gone by,
and by producing satisfactory evidence
were discharged. The third one, Fong
Win, stated that he was an actor Of
twenty years standing. Win waddled
up to the witness-stand with dignity
of bearing that made an impression on
his honor, and stated that he intended
to have gone to Victoria, but that he
had condescended to exhibit himself at
the Grand Chinese theater in this city
for $3.50 month and found.
You say you are an actor; give us a
specimen of your ability" said Mr..
Hildron.
Win, after stating that his specially
consists in perSonating the heavy

court and the spectators. Drawing in
a long respiration and assuming jul
dicial frown-a novelty to our judges
the coming star of the Grand Chinese

authority's awful condemnation of a
poor culprit to the land of headless
people. AS he was beginning the Sec

was no doubt that ne is. rs he claimed

WOMEN IN WASHINGTON.


"What do you think of social life IN
Washington?' is a question so often
recurring that one might suppose 1t to
be of paramount Importance, writes a
correspondent of the Milwaukee Sentt-
mel. 1t is like any other social life
human nature ut its best and at its
worst. 1t displays the greatest and
loveliest traits of character, and 1t
gives full scope for the ignoble ele-
ments of petty vanity, display of dress,
false compliments, jealousy and envy,
those inevitable accomplishments, the
world over, of undeveloped but ambi-
tious natures. Here you will find
women whose husbands are high in Of
fetal position, and whose purses are
plethoric beyond care, who yet are
bound, hand and foot, by silly conven-
tionalisms, as firmly as are those whose
sole support is the salary ut the dispos-
al of superior officer The looker-on,
who is accustomed to think in currents
that underlie the crusts of life, wonders
how it can be that mortal womanhood
can, wear after year, from the dawn OF
youth to the settingof LIES sun, in mists
of fearful eyes and clouds of pale. gray
hairs, dance attendance in the same UNI
ending round of fashionable gayeties,
content that their names are mentioned
in the papers as in attendance at all
fashionable dinners; that their dresses
are suitably described, and that they
are spoken of rs charming! Thinking
of life in its reality of what it ought TO
be and mean, then looking at this
phase of 1t. represented by n large type
of American womanhood to-day, one
maryels that the world is so old to so
little purpose.
Another class of women here, inevi-
tably an outgrowth of the former, are
the society correspondents OF tue
newspapers. Women of ability, many
of them, whose business year after
year is describing dresses and enter
! tainments, so much alike from genera

al decorations could be of something

How to Tame a Rat.

Police Capt. Charles Mcdonnell was
walking through South Fifth avenue.
at midnight, when he saw what ap-
peared to be small white kitten play
ing on the sidewalk in front of him.
After short chase he secured the
animal, and by the light of a street
lamp discovered, to his momentary
CONSERVATION, that it was Il white rat.
1t appeared to be perfectly tame and
at home with him.
He slid it into his overcoat pocket
and took it TO the station house, where
it was put on exhibition in cigar box.
Its beauty surprised all who saw it. 1t
was pure white, had pink eyes and
claws, and shapely, tapcring tail.
1t made peculiar noise, like the pur-
ring of a kitten, as it ate bread and
cheese from the Captains hand, and 1t
held its tail erect when it was&troked.
1t remained in the station house
twenty-four hours before it was claim
ed. Then its owner, storekeeper on
South Fifth avenue, arrived and eX-
planned how rats are tanned.
''It's the easiest thing in the world, y
he said. Take the most ferocious rat,
throw it into pail of water, and leave
it there until it becomes exhausted and
is about to drown. Then take it out,
roll it in wadding and put it in awarm
place. When the rat comes to it will
evince the deepest gratitude. 1t will
lick your hands and follow you about
the house like dog. and can be taught
a number of tricks.
