What. Is Life Without Yum.Yum?

: WASHINGTON, August 15.-The Chi.
ncse legation was treated to a sensation
yesterday which bears out the wild cry
of Nanh.Po0 when he exclaimed, "What
is life without Yum. Num,." Some days
ago was published the romantic story of
the attache of the Chinese legation who
cut off his queue and dressed himself in
American clothes-to win the loyef.of
ifsirtAmerican girl. It was also related
that the young girlshad only firted with
her Celestial lover, and when she learned
that he was in earnest fled to her mother
for protection. The young girl left town,
and the Chinese nobleman was locked up
in Stewart Castle, which is now occupied
by the Chinese legation. 1t seems that
this young diplomat, instead of learning
to. forget his love, became .~morose, lost
his appetite, and :grieved:untA he became
heartsick. Finally be attempted suicide,
but was prevented from rashly ending
his existence. Yesterday, however, he
made another attempt, and this was more
serious than the first. Early in the
morning be arrayed himself in a loosely
fitting light blue silk garment, then he
took from one of his bureau drawers
hari. kari sword, only used by Chinese
officers when they fail to win battle.
Procuringa rope he tied one end to
window hinge, and then made loop.knot
of the other end, and mounted to the
window sill. The pedestrians about
Dupont Circle noticed him, and were
hortor-stricken to see him jump from the
window. The alarm was given, and the
Chinese. inside the house rushed to the
fourth story, broke. down the door, and
proceeded to haul up the would. be
suicide. The young noblcman was near.
ly dead, but was resuscitated. In jump.
ing fror the window the young man
dropped photograph, which proved to
be one ofrthe young lady's to whom he
bad paid #tentio and who had reject
ed him. The young Chinaman's first at
tempt at suicide was by trying to drown
himself in a bath-tub last Monday. The
members-of the legation are very reticent
about the affair to-day. It is said the
