CHINATOWN'S NOVELTY.
A Joss House Established in Mott
Street, New York.

NEW YORK, July 24.-Pedestrians up
and down Chatham street, or, as 1t is
now known, Park row, have noticed an
unusually large number OF Cinnamon
arrayed in holiday attire passing in and
out of the narrow hallway of 202 Mott
street. 1t is not an imposing looking
entrance; it opens directly upon steep
stairway, and the only suggestive feature
is a strip OF red paper over the doorway,
which LOOKS as il it was label torn off a
package of fire crackers. 1t bears the
name OF joss" and tells the deV0utly
inclined Celestial that the temple is up
stairs Early last week the new interior
fittings OF the temple, the altar. tables
ana chairs, arrived here from China and
were put IN place. Now the unpretending
third floor of POP Mott street contains
some of the finest specimens of Chinese art
in this city. The altar is of carved ebony,
practically large frame for the picture
OF joss and his attendant delties, eX-
ecuted on satin in the most elaborate
style of Chinese art, aud a heavy table for
eolding the incense burners and yotIve
offerings. Asa whole the carvings repre-
sent the universe; along the bottom,
under the table, is the sea, with fish,
aquatic plants, and the huge turtle upon
which, according to Chinese mythology
the earth is supposed to rest. From each
side rise trees, shrubs and heavily carved
foliage, with birds and animals among
the branches. The branches interlock
over the top, and the whole is backed
with heavy plate glass mirrors, represent
ing the heavens thickly studded with
golden stars. The chairs and tables are
in the same style of rich Oriental carving,
and the room is lighted by carved Ian
terms hanging from the ceiling. The walls
are hung width Chinese notices, the air
IS heavy with incense, aud it is hard TO be-
lieYe that we are in New York and not
in Cathay.
The whole affair cost the Chinese resi-
dents OF New York between 5000 and
$4,000 and is entirely self-supporting.
They havequeer feature sin their religion
which was quantity explained to me by
the old priest in charge. | noticed that
a large proportion OF the worshipers
would come In, make their o0elsauce to
the altar, burn few prayer sticks and 20
out. Some, however, remained a longer
time and gave the priest sums varying
from % cents to 81. In response 10 my in
qulry he said:
"A man can say all he wants to in three
minute SO he have three minutes for
nothing; if he have good deal to say, he
nay 25c. for next three minutes, 50c.
for next three, and so on. No
good to pray too long" Then be added

then make collection beg to pay minis

The King then uttered sharp cries and
chIrps like bird. He spread out his
arms like wings and tried to fv. For
over an hour the King hoped about in
the garden on one leg at a time, Tapping
his arms like bird and trying to fly.
Saturday night he built in his bed

dried leaves, resembling a huge eagles

On Sunday morning the King was COM

attack, and the gravest fears of a fatal
ending were felt by all about him.
In the evening he regained his strength
and with the cunning device common
with lunatics managed to eude the vigi-

the palace. He got Into the deer park OF
the adjoining palace OF Nymphen bourg,
and, running at tull speed, nearly reached
Munich before he was captured. At a
late hour of the night he was conveyed,
in an exhausted condition, back to his
