A CHAT WITH MR.. CRAMER.
what the Boss Of Chinatown SAYS Of
"JOhn'So Going.

so much has been foolishly SAID, SO
much has been needlesslv gossiped,
that ZINES reporter called on Mr..
Cramer yesterday, at his home, and
asked him to state plainly his past and
present position upon the hard ridden,
threadbare hobby of tenth-rate local
political trimmers-the Chinese. Mr..
Cramer said: "This body of land
from that point north to that point
south, from the river back of us to
that line in front Of us, pointing to
each,) is mine. took it up wears
ago, and built, perhaps, the first or
about the first, house in HALEY. l
rented houses, gardens, etc., to Chi
namen, just as man would to any
body else. There was no question of
"Ch'nese must go' then. They paid
their rents, were good tenants so far
as promptness goes, and l looked to
those houses (now torn DOWN as a
source of revenue, like a merchant
does to sales, farmer to crops. a
lawyer to cases in court. Well, the
Chinese question came up. l OBJ
served it carefully. l saw that the
white labor of the country was right,
and | sympathized with the white
labor. i say labor; don't mean idle
agitators or BURNERS. As the cues
ton grew l saw that my source of
revenue would be cut off. I took no
step to prevent the Chinese going
After time some people came and
told me if would aid in getting rid
of the Chinese, they would see me at
least partly reimbursed FOR the loss /
might sustain. I have acted cautious
y all through, and am to-day finishing
the plank fencing around my land, in
side of which not a Chinaman lives.
| purchased some of their traps, for
which l had no use, just to get them
off quietly. | lose considerably by
it, of course, but they are off my
hands, and got them off unaided
No, nobody has paid me cent as re-
imbursmcnt. Well, don't know
surely as to that, but some of them
tell me they are going at once. Others
say when they collect the money
due them they will go, while few
richer ones say that some lawyers here
have received fat fees to compromise
with the whites for them, or if no
compromise is effected, to defend
them in the courts. I think some will
test it. My own judgment is to leave
them alone entirely, and they will all
go. Good day. Call again."

Yes, we have all the little fancy fix
lngs, as you see in the showcase,
which ladies are so fond of pinning
here and there in making their toilet.
What are these? y n,, they are cor
sets, embroidered skirts, fancy under.
wear, SO light that they almost seem
OF gossamer, and yet of material so
fine that it seems to be alive. These
are bustles; shapely, and readily
adjustable. These give finish to the
bust, and enable the lady's dress
maker to fit form divine. Look at
that lady passing the street. Did you
ever see more beautiful figure? Yet,
perfect as she is by nature, you could
not prevail upon her to discard this
little article that aids in finishing the
mystery of the dressing-room,"
The reporter caught a glimpse of a
fairy figure, but SO many mysteries
had confused him. Taking one gen.
eral survey of the Hastily arranged
store, and with an imploring look to
the pleasant lady of the establish
ment, who seemed at home among all
those curious things, he bowed him
self out, with the promise that when
next the TIMES man intrudes upon
such presence he will bring mar
ried sister or borrow somebody's wife,
to aid him in describing them.
"Good morning, sir. III trust
your ability to tell the ladies how
many nice articles have for them to
examine"

DIR. RICE'S COLONISTS,
Many Of Them Are Well Provided 70,
Already.

Most of the members of DIR. Rice 8
colony are provided for already. Five
ladies secured employment at McFall's
hotels, three men leased the Cold
Springs ranch, several others have
entered land on Camas Prairie, while
a number have secured employment
in HALEY or elsewhere. Those who
remain will write back, telling of their
good luck and bring Others out. On
the 9TH of May couple of hundred
more will come, on the 18th a similar
number, and so on through the sum-
mer and fall. Next year the new
corners will arrive by thousands.
A steady stream of immigration
has evidently set in toward Idaho, and
the TIMES deserves credit for helping
to start it. f.. ... g..

A Bewildering Collection of Mysteries
Known Only to the Ladies.
"The TIMES wishes you to show
and tell about all these pretty things,
please, madam" was the''greeting.
"Well, as you are nothing but a
poor unfortunate man, l will with
pleasure. Come with me-" was the
answer.
For time the reporter was moving
amid more curious things than he
ever heard of before. The lady of
the establishment said: "These are
hats; Mikado is the style of styles,
though shades embroidered, and sail
or hats, are very popular and much
worn. The trimmings are birds OF
rare plumage, fairy-like wells, and all
sorts of cute and new fancles." Those
exhibited were lovely, and unlike any
seen before-as crepe, loop and va
lour predominant this season. "These
are hose of finest texture, and all
varied in color and figure. These
are the choicest handkerchiefs, cam
brio and lace. Note these; aren't
they lovely? Here are gloves; kid,
hsie thread, and Iately-introduced
material like a satined silk. These
are new, and pretty, too, you see.
They are of greater or less cost, and
are unique and OF the latest style.

A Beet Sugar Factory For Camas
Prairie. IN

Seth Heath will put in before fall,
all the apparatus required to make
sugar from beets. Mr.. Heath is thor
oughly posted in the business, and
proposes to grow his own beets and
demonstrate that it will pay, after
which he will enlarge his sugar fac
tory, and offer cash price for beets.
The soil and climate of Camas Prairie
being peculiarly adapted to the
growth of the sugar beet, there is no
doubt but that Mr.. Heath will develop
a prosperous industry.

GUNS SOMETIMES BURST EASILY
In bravado a young man placed the
muzzle of his fowling piece under
water and fired the charge. The re.
suit was the bursting Of the barrel
neal the breach and the mutiation
of his hand. Another placed and
held the muzzle Of his gun square
against piece of plate window glass
AMI fired the charge-powdtr and bull
let. TIE glass was shattered-so was
the gun-barrel. Another instance was
that Of an experImentor who had heard
that a candle could be fired from the
barrel OF a gun through an inch board.
He drove a candle into the mnzzle of
the gun, fired, and the explosion split
the barrel almost its entire length,
and did not even drive the candle
from the mnzzle of the gun.
Still another burst Of gun barrel
was caused by the use OF wet grass as
wad, well rammed down over
charge Of shot. But perhaps one Of
the most singular exhibitions in this
line was a Colts navy revolver which
some years ago was sent TO the factory
in Hartford, Conn. This was before
the adaptation of these pistols to the
metallic cartridges, and it is probable
that in loading with open powder
and ball only small amount of pow
der got into the chambers, aid the
bullet was not propelled with sufici-
snt force TO drive it from the muzzle
at least, the bullet did not go out, but
lodged. AS the shooter did not know
whether the bullet escaped or not, he
kept on firing until the barrel either
burst or bulged, and when it was
sawed in two longitudinally there
were fourteen bullets wedged one into
the other and so much upset" BY the
hammering of the successive explo.
sions Of the powder charges that some
Of them were not less than one inch
in diameter-fsttened dies instead Of
conical bullets.

He Hobs THE FENcE.-Several
weeks ago a Detroiter purchased a
piece Of land in the west end Of the
county. After the purchase had been
completed, he engaged a surveyors
services to see if he had been cheated.
The discovery was made that a line
fence was over on his land eight inches
When he went to the owner of the ad-
joining property with the statement,
the man replied
Stranger, the rSw about that fence
began twenty-eight years ago. twas

led and the other crippled. After a
while it was moved foot, and then
two other owners fit and fit until the
lawyers got the Two farms. The fence
was then moved another foot. and the
two new owners spent half the year in
Jawlwg each other aud the ether half

got sold out on a mortgage, and when
| got this farm the fence was moved
over another foot. Then | tit and Fl L,
and two years ago was kicked in the
Ilhs and laid up for three months.
During that time the fence was moved
to the present line. So it's still on

Yes

row. If you'll get out by the barn
with your revolver I'll come out and
hunt for YOU with shotgun. Ifyou
git the drop on me don't let go. be-

II took the Detroiter some time to
convince the farmer that he didn't care
for eight inches OF land, and that he
wouldn't have the fence moved for
fifty dollars. and when he had sue
ceeded. the old man drew @ long
breath of relief, and replied:

Jerome. who died in 42O, that "he
ruined himself by Purchasing a copy
OF ORIGINS works" and that the great
and good Alfred gave large estate
for one work on cosmography; that
was about the year $40, when books
were rare. and we know. we'll how

was purchased fos thirty pounds, and
two hundred sheep and FIVE quarters

1t must not be forgotten that trans
scrihing and illuminating by hand

CAMPBELL'S COLLAPSE.
The Popular Dramatist Following John
Northumberland at Bellevue.

The Popular Dramatist Following John
Northumberland at Bellevue.
NEW YORK, May 16.-Bartley Camp
bell, dramatist, spent yesterday in the
pavilion for the insane at Bellevue Hos
pital. He was engaged all the morning
in writing on play and composing the
incidental music. The manuscript dia-
logue was illegible and incoherent and
the music score was written on a single
line, the characters only dimly resem-
bling notes. The weather had depress-
ing effect upon him, and at times he was
fretful and petulant, and then again was
cheerful enough. In the afternoon for
mer acquaintance from Pittsburgh. who
did not leave his name, called with DIR. S.
r. Elliott, of this city, and they were ad-
mitted to Mr.. Campbell's room, where
they talked with him for some time.
Their visit had bad effect, for after
they had gone the patient became violent,
tearing his hair and railing against his
keepers.
The doctors at Bellevue made an ex-
animation of Mr.. Campbell's mental con-
dition ON Friday, and DIR. Wildman says
there is no question at all that he is suf-
fering from general paresis. This being
the case, the result, he says, may be fore.
told with certainty. His death is only q
question OF weeks and months. Under
careful treatment with out-of-door exer
else, DR.. Wildman says Mr.. Campbelps
physical condition may improve Temporal
rily, but the case i'm all its bearings is
counterpart of the late John Nc.
Cullough's last months, both in respect
to causes and effects. Mr.. Campbell will,
by special favor of the commissioners, be
kept at Bellevue Hospital for a few days,
and not sent to the pauper insane asylum
of Wards Island until the friends of the
unfortunate man shall have had time to
signify what they mean to do for him.
Winthrop Parker, ESQ.,, counsel for Mrs.
Campbell, says that the playwright has
absolutely no property. His wife
owns small house on Staten Island
and her only means is derived from it's
rental. All of Mr. Campbell's property is
in the hands of Ernest Harvier, receiver
for his creditors
