Everybody Like Ah Sim

One od the problems before the Legis-
}ative Council of the little but i'm
portant colony Of Hong Kong, which
has recently assembled, is to checlkmate
the willingness of the Heathen Chinee
in two financial connections, bankrupt
cy and gambling. The Chinese have
hitherto shown themselves great adopts
at getting through the meshes of ordi-
nary bankruptcy laws. AS for the at
tempt to put down the gambling mania
in the colony. the opinion of many is
that 1t would be just as well to intro
duce an ordinance for the suppression of
the Pacific Ocean. The Chinese are such
old adopts at bribing off supervisions
of gambling houses that one has to be
sanguine, indeed, to believe that the
provisions of an ordinance with this OBJ
ject, however carefully devised, can be
efectually carried out. At the present
time the amount of gambling which
goes on is little short Of scandal.

PROF. MALLETISLASTP PERFORMANCE
He Adds Fifteen Feet to the Height OF

Mistake-Hs Strikes the Water on
His BAck-His spine Hurt

For few Sundays past Professor
George Mallett has been performing
wonderful feats of diving from . Pc
destal seventy feet high at North park.
Large crowds have assembled to witness
the daring deed and have marveled at
the pluck Of the adventurer. Never
before yesterday has the professor met
with u severe accident although he has
continued to give exhibitions for sew
eral years. Yesterday Mr.. Mallett built
the pedestal about fifteen feet higher
than usual before making the plunge
into Grand river. He assembled the
elghty-tive feet full of confidence,
never for moment thinking there was
a mishap Ill store for him. Thousands
OF eyes were turned in his direction
and people craned the ir necks to get u
good view. He sprang from has nigh
perch and descended head first
about twenty feet. Then he COM
menced to turn slightly, and to the nor
Tor of all struck the water with revolt
ing smack Hat on his back. HIS body
WAS motionless and sank beneath the
water. Several made all haste to ms
assistance and he was shortly laid out
on the ground breathless, speechless
and insensible. Efforts were made to
revive him but for nearly an hour the
attempts proved futile. At last he re-
gained consciousness enough to gasp,
but that was all. He was carried into
the pavilion and a physician sent tor.
1t is thought that the professors spine
Is hurt and that he is fatally injured.

There is such thin x as an oihcer OF
the law becoming too otficious in the
discharge of has duties. The village
marshal at Reeds Lake proved himself
to be \ person who ttkes more pleasure
In showing his authority than IN per-
forming what common sense would
term his duty. Yesterday William
Burnes. accompanied by young lady
and married couple. were carriage
riding at the lake, and Mr.. Burnes WAS
driving a very skittsh and unmanage-
able team of horses, which was at
tached 10 the vehicle. The party were
coming down the hill from the lake
when the animals started up suddenly
and for moment got beyond control.
The village marshall saw an opportunity
to display the gigantic importance OF
his position and galloped after the car
riage on horseback and ordered Mr..
Burnes TO stop. The gentleman
replied that he would Just
ss soon as he could. THIS did
not seem to satisfy his high
ness and In laundering tones he bel
lowed forth his second mandate, which
was similar to the above. BY this time
Mr.. Burnes succeeded in getting the
horses under control. No sooner had
this been done than the lord high exc
cutioner of disorderlles at Reeds Lake
rode up to where Mr.. Burnes had
stopped, clapped pair of handouts
on him, and placed him under arrest
for fast driving. Those who witnessed
the occurrence branded it as a rank i'm
position. Mr.. Burnes is employed as a
pressman at the Democrat.

who succeeded IN securing a seat IN

passed one of the women in front OF
him. That filled the seat. He did not
