worthy cause. but are hoping that there

IN CHINA THEY'D LOSE THEIR
HEADS.

No Telling What Will Be Done With
Jim Lee and Wung So Here.
Detective HUMPHREYS and his two Chinese
prisoners of many aliases, from Nashville,
known in Savannah as Jim Lee and Wung
So, failed to arrive last night from Atlanta,
as expected. They will probably arrive
this morning. Wing Chin Lee, proprietor
OF the Chinese restaurant, who has taken a
great deal OF interest in the affair said last
night that he did not know what will be
done with the two culprits after their ar
rival in Savannah. he seemed to be at a
loss to know what could be done with
them under American law. In China their
heads would probably be chopped off.
Wing Chin Lee said Lee Kee will not live
with his wife now after the way she has
acted; that she evidently no longer loved
hun, and there would be no happiness for
them in living together. He thought it
would be best to settle the matter by COM
promise. aud If Jim Lee would pay Lee Rec
the costs to which he had been put in fol-
lowing them up and bringing them back,
he would be willing to drop the case.
Wing Chin Lee has advanced
800 for his friend Lee Kee, and he is
doubtless anxious for satisfactory settle
ment.
Wing Chin Lee says that Jim Lee and his
friends are set of accomplished falsifers,
although that is not the exact expression he
used. He says Jim Lee and the girl never
knew each other ia China, nor in San Fran
cisco, nor anywhere else until they met in
New York, and that it is simply plain
case Of skip. Neither did they secure any
$4,000 from Lee Kee. The amount they
took did not exceed 5000.
A constable said last night that bonds
had already been given for Jim Lee aud
Wung So, and Solicitor General Fraser has
ordered them discharged and they will be
released as soon as they arrive.

WOMAN AND PETrICOATS.

Rose CoghIan COMEDIES with Men on
Baving to Wear Trousers
l can forgive men nearly all their mis-
deeds when l think of the clothes they have
to wear. says Rose Coghlan in the New
York Morning Journal By that, of course,
1t will be seen that am not quite at home
in the clothes which wear in ''Dorothy's
Dilemma" and also that l do not Apr owe
of them for women.
Nothing except the requirements Of q
play would ever induce me to wear either
trousers or tights.
This ''dress reform" movement, recently
inaugurared at Chautauqua, may In time
be accepted by some, but es sex women
will be inexorable against this new fad.
Pettiooats have been instilled in their
minds, bred in them, as it were, for genera
tions, and for me, and l think for the
average woman, too, they are quite good
enough.
There are certain elements in a mans
attire which may be agreeable to the mod
ern woman--for instance, shirts, ties. hats
and the abbreviated frock coat, but there it
must all end.
The soft folds and clinging draperies she
has been reared to wear which lend Them
selves 30 well to her figure, admitting of
graceful movements, appeal far more
strongly 10 q woman's artistic nature than
horrid. straight, long trousers. In tights,
as in the character Of "Rosalind," the audi
ence knows the actress is a woman and that
she is simply incorporating as a boy. A
woman's ways are understood, and her act
| ing is judged from that standpoint.
| But in mans clothes all that is changed
she assumes a masculnity altogether inep-
| propriate to her.
She loves all that is womanly about her,
consequently, all that is attractive and
| lovable in her.
Try as much as she will-nobody will
ever forget the fact that she is a woman
she can never he other than masculine
woman, which, next to an effeminate man,
is about the most repungant creature |
| know
They say any woman is adaptable, but ii
would take many year to make her forget
and forego her petticoat On muddy day
she would irresistibly catch at her trousers
J to lift them up as she crosses the street, then
! Imagine her modification.
No. let men keep these detestable blfur-
Gated garments, as we'll as the ballot, and
| leave us skirts, not divided, but the pretty,
| fluffy, lace-trimmed ones in which we have
| gloried for centuries, and which it will re,
| Qujre centuries Co take from us.

THINGS TALKED ABOUT.

Yesterdays cotton receipts at New Or
leans were the subject Of a good deal Of
gossip in exchange circles. They reached
43, 655 bales, which is the largest amount Of
cotton ever received there in any one day.
The report Of the agricultural bureau made
public yesterday was altogether unfavor-
able for large yield, showing for the cot
ton belt an average of only 179 pounds Of
lint to the acre, and for Georgia 155 pounds,
and Of Florida, the lowest of all the states,
100 pounds. This report it was believed
would have had some effect In stemming
the downward course OF values, but
for the heavy receipts which rather dis
counted the report Added TO this was the
fact that all the authorities are again revis-
ing their previous estimates of the crop, or
rather increasing them. The estimate of
Neil Bros. of Liverpool of 5000 900 bales
had its effect on the New Y ork market, and
prices went sailing on the downward course.
The Herald says: zone thing is noticeable,
and that is that the bears are not so easily
frightened "a formerly. Their own
shadows do not set them on a run so readily
as once upon time The news is mostly of
bearlsh nature, and yet there are some
points in favor Of cotton. The mills in this
country aud Europe are all reported to be
running on full time. The consumption of
cotton is enormous. It is being used
for purposes for which it is not
used when the prices are much
higher - in upholstery, portieres
and many other manufactures. Spinners
have been buying on a comparatively
moderate scale. and 1t is believed their stocks
are much smaller than month ago. The
East Indian supply is falling off. 1t is con-
tended that the large receipts at American
ports cannot possibly continue much longer.
Even some of the bears do not expect them to
keep up at the present rate for any extended
period. Furthermore, there seems to be a
large short interest. This is about all that
can be said in favor Of cotton just now,
unless the relative oheapness of the price be
considered. On the other hand, there is
the large, Indeed almost phenome-
nal movement Of the crop. Eli
son Of Liverpool. In his annual
review of the cotton trade, shows an increase
in the spinning power Of the world of 1887
900 spindles, and all the cotton consuming
countries sharing in the excess. Mr.. Ellison
estimates that the world will in 1S9l-'92 need
for its consumption 10,3SS,0OO bales of 463
bales of 400 pounds each, and he bases his
estimate OF supply on an American crop of
Z 1850, 900 bales.
