The Insane Chinaman.

Poor Hop Wah, the crazy Chinaman who was
arrested last week, is still occupying a cell at
the sixth precinct station. Since his incarcera-
ton he has been supplied with food from q
neighboring restaurant. The officers fed him
too well and now he refuses to eat Saturday
night and yesterday at least twenty Cinnamon
called to see Hop, but none of them could get
him to talk. Sam Sing, who is Hop Wah's brother
called at the station and said that he had re-
ceived a letter from another brother, who wants
to send Hop to China. As soon as he gives any
guarantee that Hop will be sent to China the
police will gladly release him. DIR. McKim ex-
amined the patient and decided that he was in
sane. Unless his relatives take him away, Hop
Wah will probably be sent to the asylum this
week

A Proposed Revival of Cricket.

To the Editor Of The EVENING STAR:
Why not let us revive the game Of cricket In
Washington? No doubt we could find some old
cricketers here who fourished in the beginning
of the 70s who would willingly lend their as
sistance to put it on respectable footing, SO
that in a short time We could compete success
fully with the cricket teams of Baltimore,
Philadelphia, or, indeed, with any of the many
clubs In the various northern cities who now
take special pride and interest in the manly
game. While the average fielding and COM
paratiye slowness of the game precludes it from
being as attractive to the public gaze as base
ball, Il certainly possesses the merits Of being
less severe TO the hands Of the players, its bat
ting facilities greater and more scientific and
Its system OF run getting fully as interesting as
IN the American national game. However, il
Is not the aim Of this letter to discuss the
merits or dement's Of the game, but in view of
the fact that We have before us two months of
prospective ball weather. to suggest that we
get together and organize o club Immediately,
thus enabling US to be in some shape for Q
commencement next year. Let all interested
drop card to "Cricketer." STAR office, while
the writer will endeavor to appoint place of
meeting and thus set the '.5an q rolling"
