THE \ MUST Co.

Laundrymen of New York and New Jersey
Institute a Boycott.
A meeting was held in New York Of the
chief executive committee of the Master
Laundrymen's association Of the states of
New York and New Jersey. Twenty. five
men were present, representing about $780,
00O,0 0 Of capital. 1t was stated by the
chairman that all the Chinese laundries in
both states are owned by six Chinese cor
porations, and there is no such thing as an
individual laundry. The smallest Of these
corporations owns 300 laundries. Some
time ago the Chinese syndicate formed q
plan to buy out the larger white lsundries,
thinking that il they could control these
the business would soon be wholly in their
hands. For this purpose they subscribed
81, 100000 as q preliminary fund. The
white laundrymen got wind of the scheme
and for the purpose of counteracting it
and ct the same time retaliating the execu-
tive committee met. A series of re- solu-
tions were adopted recitlng that $1,00O,-
600 is taken every year from the white
laundrymen of New York, most Of which
goes TO China, and that energetic efforts
be made at once to institute against the
Chinese laundries Of this state and the
state of New Jersey q vigorous war, and
that 100000 be raised within twenty days
for the purposes named by three superin.
tendents and the president of the execu-
tive committee. The plan of campaign
wa also detailed in the resolutions, and
it wat as follows:
Wherever a Chinese laundry is located
a white laundry is to be established as near
it as possible. When persons are seen
%patronizing q Chinese laundry they are to
be followed to their homes, il necessary,
and induced to deal with the white laun-
drymen in preference. IL necessary the
prices of white laundry will be cut down
so much that competition even from the
Chinese will be impossible. All kinds of
influence, not excepting political, will be
used to induce the people to trade With the
American %laundries. The Legislature will
even be appealed to to stop the Chinese
traffic. The positions of the superintend-
ents who will be entrusted with the oper.
alton Of the plan will be made dependent
upon their success of cutting down the
Chinese trade. Every effort, regardless of
cost or method. will be used to accom-
plish the desired results, and, if necessary,
another $5O0,OOO will be raised" Two
hundred and eighty thousand dollars was
subscribed by check, and It is .expected
that within ninety days most of the Chi
nese lauudries will be abolished.

TOYING WITH A NECK
a NEW nAMPsHrRE YOUTH wr1a PHI.
ABLE JOINTS.

BY the Aid OF so-Caued Hypnotlsm = Mans
Joints are Made the Sport Of Doctors-
News OF Other Sort From Far and Near.
Twenty Of New York's most prominent
physicians had great sport one evening
with two mountain boys, fresh from New
Hampshire. At any rate, these two chaps,
one about % and the other . couple OF
years younger, pretended to be very green
and quite successfully took Ii the doctors.
The elder said he had recently come TO .
realization OF o strange power which he
had over his younger brother, about which
he knew nothing more than that It was
called hypnotic power. A great many tests
were given and all we're successful. One
OF the strangest was the absolute disloca-
ton Of the vertebrm OF the neck.
The younger brother was put under the
influence by constant gaze on the elder.
He tottered around on his feet and would
have fallen IL his brother had not held him
up. and when the latter tossed his arms
around. over, under and about his head,
behind his back and up behind till his hand
touched the base of the skull they Topped
about like a couple of bags Of sawdust as
u they were all joints. Then the hypno.
tier stiffened him up and began to play
pranks with his joints and bones. He put
his knee III his chest, gave a tremendous
pull and push, and the poor fellows
Chicken bone" almost touched his YER
tebre. Then he twisted his arms
around until his shoulders were
clean out OF their sockets and laid
them wrong side up on his back, the inner
side at the elbows lying outward, a fact that
would make the snake man Of Barnum's
show green with envy. He twisted the
fingers into outlandish shapes and had fun
with his joints and corners generally.
At last. to cap the climax Of this cruelty,
he seized the unfortunate man by the head,
twisted it violently to aud fro and pulled it
out Of it's socket at the neck. The head
fell over helplessly onto his chest and the
bones OF the dislocated socket stuck up in
the Dir, while he rolled the loosely hanging
head about in a manner horrible to behold.
The doctors we're called on to examine and
they declared it a case Of dislocation. as
perfect as If done on the gallows. The
subject was brought to without trouble.

German Press opinions.

Ihe National Gazette says the appoint
mont OF Gen. Won Caprivi to succeed
Prince Bisparck as chancellor has nothing
Of threatening character in it. The Ossiche
Zeitung says the tension has been brought
to . climax by the fact that the destinies of
Europe have been suddenly deprived of
their axis. Prince Bismarck was q guar.
anty Of peace. His successor will be COM
PEELED to Immediately deal with the ques-
ton OF reduction Of the military burden in
the interest of peace. The nation wit.
nesses the retirement of Bismarck with
regret, but without anxiety.
The Norosto to-day published another
article on the retirement of Bismarck from
the German chancellorship. The paper
declares that the solitary support of the
edi8ce of European peace has crumbled.
American Newspaper Comment.
Der Miraukee Herold, commenting on
Bismarck's resignation, says: The EN-.
peror fully comprehends that he himself
is responsible for the future of the Ger.
man empire and it is but justto admit that
his wishes should at least BE- consulted in
the management Of affairs. Bismarck, be.
yond doubt, holds t%enaciously to his ideas.
The emperor, on the other hand, il i'm.
bued with modern ideas Of life and gov.
eminent, and 1t remains to be seen whether
he has rightly gauged the situation. We
hope that he will not be under the neces-
sity vt recalling Bismarck"

menting on Bismarck's retirement, says.
@Only one thing is certain, and that is that
Bismarck's retirement produces o feeling
Of uncertainty"
The VoikesblaN says of Bismarck's res.
tgnation: sit is not surprising that the
chancellor rendered his resignation. The
chancellor was an obstacle to the emperor's
idea Of absolute monarchism."
The Volteafreumd saws: "The changed
situation is q concession to the opposi.
ton. especially to the Catholic church.
1t was apparent that the growth Of the op-
position vas such that the government
could not carry measures without the aid
OF one or the other Of the wings of the CD.
position. The result will be the granting
Of some Of the rights Of Catholics which
have been withheld under Bismarck's dom.
ination. The new minister will have no
policy except that Of the emperor"

Reasons for til. Resignation.


Prince Bismarck, in his note to the EN-.
peror, rendering his resignation, alleged
that old age and failing health were his
reasons for desiring to withdraw from pub.

The National Gazette, in an article on
the resignation of Prince Bismarck, says it
expects that the excitement abroad will
subside when the conviction gains ground
that the Germans look to the future with

The resignation OF Prince Bismarck from
the chsncellorship of Germany has caused
. surprising popular display Of regret at
his withdrawal and Q iation for the man
which is unexpected, in view of the many
evidences Of dislike which the majority of
the lower classes have evinced toward
him during the last ten years Of his auto
cratic career. Indeed, it has been diff
cult. during the past few years, to
ind q German in the lower walks
OF life who believed in Bismarck except as
one Of the chief elements Of Germany's
power. All admitted his greatness and
applauded his success, for it meant the
aggrandizement OF the Fatherland; but few
admired the man and still fewer approved
the methods he employed to achieve his
purposes. Now it has become certain that
he is no longer the directing force Of Ger
many's destinies; that the empire must
rely upon some untried man to keep it in-
tact and retain its prestige; that a stranger
at the helm must hold to the course which
the great chancellor marked for to
swerve from It would result in disaster
and that his name will no longer
add convincing weight to Germany's
recommendations, suggestions and de-
mands. the full import of his retirement
is realized aud the inesttmable value of his
counsel and services is made plain. The
common expressions Of dislike and distrust
are heard no more. These have given way
to expressions of regret and words Of lau-
dation. In the popular mind the ex-chan-
cellor is a greater man than was the chan.
cellor. The feeling OF perfect national se-
curity which his direction of affairs gave to
every German is fast growing toto . feel
ing of uncertainty. Austrians fear n rup-
ture of the triple alliance and Germans
fear. they know not what, but the old feel.
ing of confidence has been shaken.
