A Lesson in Japanese Etiquette.

A Japanese gentleman called upon q
Washington lady one day just before
luncheon. As it was a first and pre-
sumably cerenonious call, she natural
ly expected il would be brief To her
surprise, he accepted the invitation to
lunch, and that domestic rite over he
still stayed. The hours wore on andihe
did not go. The lady, was Wearied be-
yond endurance. Dinner time came.
The lady's husband returned and still
the gentleman from Japan stayed on.
HIS was, as a matter Of necessity, invit-
ed to dinner. Finallythe gentleman of
the house relieved his wife for time in
entertaining this apparently stationary
visitor, but as the evening wore on he
became so tired and sleepy that he re-
tired to his own apartment, and the
hostess again screwed her courage to
the sticking and resumed the enter
tainment of the guest. At last, about
midnight, the japanese, with the most
elaborate and abject apologies to the
lady for leaving her, took his departure.
But the comedy reached It's denouement
the next day, when a friend, in whom
the extraordinary guest had conided
told the hostess that he said he never
had slch IN ordeal before in his life;
that he was so tired, and he thought
the lady would never let him 90, and
finally he was obliged to leave her with
out her permission. Then the hostess
learned that in Japanese etiquette the
lady receiving the gentleman gives him
the signal for his departure, and it is
very rude, in their code, to leave her
till she has done this.

BiIIinrh Exhibition.

Last evening Mr.. j. F. B. McCleery,
the champion billiard player, gave his
first exhibition game in the dining hall
of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel. There was
a large audience present, including sew
eral ladies, and all went away more than
pleased with the wonderful exhibition of
skill given by Mr.. McCleery. He first
played a three-ball game of 100 points
with Morris X. Keohokalole, a young
Hawaiian, who handles the cue with
considerable ability. Mr.. McCleery was
to make game or no count. Morris did
not play 80 we'll as usual, still he kept
adding 10 his score, by making a few
points each time he took up the cue. At
one period of the game McCleery got the
balls together and made 80 points,
when he slipped up on an easy shot
Morris reached 90, and it looked any
odds on his winning, but McCleery got
the balls together and by series of fine
rail shots made the necessary hundred
points before he laid down his cue. His
performance was greeted with mnch APP
pIause. During the game he made some
brilliant shots which were much appre-
ciated by the lovers Of the game present.
After an interval OF five minutes Mr.
McCleery gave an exhibition of fancy
shots. He first showed the workings Of
the balk line game, followed by playing
on three, four, five and seven cushions
before making a carom, following shots,
caroms on all three balls, double and
close follows, close draw and four-square
shots, and a close follow and draw shot
which is one of the most difficult to
make. He also introduced the baseball
shot and several other fancy shots with
hat All were made with ease and
were greeted with enthusiastic applause
by the audience, who went away i'm
pressed that Mr.. McCleery was fully en-
titled to be called a champion biIliardist !
1t is to be hoped that another exhibition !
viii be given shortly The table used |
by Mr. McCleery was a magnificent /

merce recommended that the bill pass,
lie moved it be engrossed and read j third
time this afternoon.
Mr.. Hayselden said he had no objection
TO anything that would benefit his constit-
uents The Minister of the Interior had
put up the stalls at auction and had not
charged s. q week. The present law does
not require amendment, and it is proved
by the action Of the late Minister OF the
Interior.
Mr. Thurston said that the bill fixed the
price OF stalls at $ll0, and that would be
a decrease in the revenue, as some Of them
were now renting for 1855, Sl35. $3.50 and
several other figures above $40.
His Excellency Mr.. KauIukou asked if
the bill was before the House.
The President said it was not, and the
debate was out of order
The rules were suspended and the bill
taken from the table.
There not being quorum present, at
II 80 the House adjourned to l o'clock.
