Mccullough Echoes.

Joseph Haworth in private life IL q
student. When away from the theater
HawOrth spends all his spare time in
completing the life of John Mccullough.
Haworth has an autograph letter from
Mccullough which money could not buy.
II was written several days previous to
the death Of the tragedian. Il was
probably the last letter written by Nc.
CullOugh, in view Of the fact that for
months previous TO death his brain was
shattered. 1--WE will climb the ladder
Of fame together, joe" he said. land
will help you until we both reach the top
round"
Mccullough had q valet named Bob
Pritchard. who was q curious fellow, I"
said Haworth, recently. He was a
thrifty Scotchman, and to save money
be always made his bed in McCullOugh's
dressing-roOm in the theater. Once John
missed handsome robe which he wore
In RichVrd Ill Il couldn't be found.
Finally, several months later, when
playing in New York, two little Pritch-
ards came 10 the theater, and the dresses
which they wore were cut from Nc
Cullough's handsome robe.
"Prtchard expressed his sympathy
curiously the day the guv'nor was
buried.
"'He was q great man, Mr.. HawOrth,'
he sobbed, n good man. Many a dress
ing-roOm through the country has he
wiped the floor with me, sir.--Bostou

An Old Fashioned Luncheon.

A unique luncheon was given recently
in Brooklyn-nOthing less, indeed, than
an old fashioned one "You are to come
at l2, bring your work, and stay until 5, +"
dictated the hostess. and at noon sharply
the twenty women bidden duly appeared,
all but two, with their sewing. BOnnets
were doffed and real visit was entered
upon. The luncheon was a delicious
one. and was served without too arbi-
trary following Of the course style-an
agreeable medium, indeed, between no
courses and "all plates" as the country
man explained his first tFrenchrestaurant
dinner.
When the guests returned 60 the par
lor, insteai Of the brief standing round
before leave taking. which characterizes
the modern fashionable luncheon. chairs
were cozily drawn into groups, needles
and thiInbles came ont, and though, as
one who was there confessed, no serious
amount Of work was accomplished, the
pleasure AMI sociability Of the afternoon
were pronounced, N the company in

EICHINGS: GODS LIGHT,

"And God said, Let there be light. And there was
light"
One by one the clouds lifted, and the dense
dropping wells Of mist were slowly with
drawn.
The great mountains became visible,
clearly defined against the heavens ethere-
ally faint blue.
Eternal snow lay frozen white upon them,
and their cold, high peaks seemed very far
away. But one wide bar OF luminous gold
lighted their slopes toward the east; and In
that warm and tender haze the hard snow
melted, and the purple violets opened into
bloom.
Two dark figures of men advanced into
the light
They had climbed for many hours.
They had seen the radiance from afar.
Now they entered it together.
They were brothers in their common lot
and creed, but as they stepped into the
golden glory their brows grew heavy with
distruSt and wrath.
What dOest thou here?' said the one.
''The light is minep
NAY, fool" said the other. thou lest"
THE light is mne!"
Aud the evil frown deepened on their
faces, and they forgot their brotherhood aud
fought; fought with merciless blind fury
for every inch of that wondrOus light that
was not theirs; fought till the viOlets on the
turf sickened and died in the torrent of
blood that was shed.
But suddenly between them a shadow fell.
And the shadows name was death.
Then those contesting twain shrank from
each others grasp in fear, aud, covering
their eyes, they fed swiftly.
And the shadow went with them.
And their blood sank into the cool brown
earth.
And the vlolets blOOmed again
And Gods lightlay upon the mountains -

New Tricks Resorted To for the Landin
of Chinese Woman

New Tricks Resorted To for the Landing
of Chinese Women.
Collector of the Port Phelps has come into
possession Of facts which tend TO show that
there is something wrong in connection with
the issuance Of merchant and student GER
thcates at Yokohama to Chinese emigrants.
Recently two Chinese boys, the sons of a regu-
larry ordained Baptist missionary, presented
certificates showing that they came here as
students. They came direct from Hong
Kong, but singular to say, did not think of
bringing certificates until they reached Yo-
kohama, There the Chinese Consul pro-
ylded them with the necessary papers. ana
the American Consul vised them, though
neither could possibly have knowledge of
the truth OF the statements he certified TO.
The Collector also claims to have proof
that Chinese women are now adopting the
trick OF passing themselves off for Japanese.
1t Will be remembered that some weeks aoo
Commissioners Houghton remanded several
women claiming to be japanese: that Inv
order OF the Collector they were put aboard
the steamer Pemptos, but at Portland. while
en- route to China, were liberated by Judge
Deadly and allowed to land. 1t has now
been ascertained that three OF the women
were Chinese All were alleged tn have
been brought here for immoral purposes.
In the matter of the four Japanese women
who came by the Belgic on the 9th ult. and
