Cinnamon in America to BE Assessed
to Protect Their Rights.
PITTsBURG, Dec. ia strong con,
certed movement has been started by
the Chinese of the United States to re
sist the Chinese exclusion act. Hon
Yung Wung, formerly commissioner OF
education for the Chinese government
writes Rev. E. r. Donehoo, of this city
that three different plans of resistance
have been decided upon. The constitu
tionality of the act will be first tested
and the well llknown constitutional law
yers, Joseph H. Choate and Charles H
Seward, will have charge Of the case.
Then, the Oriental club, of New
York, will try to arouse public sYmpa
thy through mass meetings, and con
gress will be flooded with petitions de
manding a repeal Of the law. A pol
tax of 81 head will be levied on every
Chinaman in the United States to de
fray expenses. This will mean a funC
of over 100000. Finally, the Chinese
government will protest, and, failing
retaliation will follow. There will bC
no recourse to arms, but there will b,
an abrogation of treaty rights, all com
mercial communication will be shut off
and the government will cease protec
tion to the 1900 American merchant
and the several hundred missionarie
now in China.

The elderly married porter who looks
after Middleclass flats has never repeated
the daring act Of unlawful osculation
which was visited with such summary
retribution by our dragon of domestic vir.
cue. 1t happened, if / remember, when
the miniature lift dedicated to the trades
mems parcels and coal scuttles went
wrong-stuck four feet below the level of
our landing and refused to bulge. So,
with the intention of ascertaining the ma
ture and extent of the local complication,
Jellams got into it, Loosha having under.
taken to Tighten his labors with conversa-
tion and q composite candle. Alas for the
frailty Of mankind!
Then it was that undeterred by the fear
of scalding grease or boiling Indignation,
our porter attempted to wTest kiss from
the lips that were near. And as the indig-
nant Loosha thumped him on the head
with the candlestick the temporary me-
chanical obstruction yielded to the impulse
Of outraged virtue, and the porter, with
one wild cry, shot swiftly downward and
disappeared. He arrived ultimately in the
coal cellar TO the relief Of our handmaid,
who had had awful visions of his sticking
in the shaft and suffocating slowly, with
blood curdling groans, while masons were
pulling down the building to get at him.

We Are Constantly Changing.

Life consists of series of changes of tis
sue, and the human economy is simply, as
far as its material part is concerned, a
machine and primarily depends on food
as the most important factor in keeping
1t in working order. When 1t is said that
we commence to die as soon as we are
born it of course means that certain
parts of the body Immediately begin lo
perish; their existence is ephemeral;
they come, go, are replenished and de-
cay. They are the dying parts of that
system of life which may last little
while, but which must eventually yield
to the inexorable laws Of nature.
The nails, the hair, etc., are observ-
able as instances of this decay. The
same rule applies to every other organ
and tissue Of the body, though 1t is not
palpable to the naked eye. The skin is
always peeling. The food that is taken
in the one hour nourishes the system and
elects that which was taken the hour
before. New York Advertiser.

ton in the condition which the large
number OF inmates demand. And we
would therefore earnestly recommend and
urge upon the authorities OF the county
having such business In charge TO erect
at as early date as possible buildings
such as the present circumstances de-
mand. II is not the opinion OF the coms
mittee that there is duty devolving upon
the county 10 keep this class OF people In
luxury, nor that the county should go to
great expense in providing buildings for
purpose of ornament, but what we do in
sist upon is that where an institution 10
required for the care OF two or three hum
tired of this class of people, the facilities
for their economical support be furnished
in accordance with the plans such as ex'
perience and modern sanitary investiga-
tion have shown TO be the
best. The carrying out of this
suggestion would in our opinion require
the erection of suitable buildings,and that
the ain building be divided into wards
so that the different classes OF paupers
could be grouped together, and the hos
pital, either separate building, or entire'
ly separate and apart from the other
wards. Respectfully submitted,

A Youngsters Fears of Bears.

To draw upon my own recollections, my
childhood was haunted by bears. They
were not bears out Of books, SO far as can
remember, but childish formula for the
dark unknown which is apt to frighten
every little stranger who comes alone into
this great world of ours. Many an hour
have lain awake In an ecstasy Of trem-
bling lest the sonorous breathing Of the
sister asleep at my side should be loud
enough TO rouse the dire beasts from their
lurking places.
Yet these hours did not "embitter my in
fancy" nor do they now in retrospect cause
me poignant grief. What does shame me
Is the remembrance Of other hours Of that
same period when was trying TO adjust
my emotions and actions to an agreement
with those of the particular heroine out of
fiction who happened to be my nearest ac-
quaintance at the time.--AtlanticM Monthly.

Applause That would Sound Moclsingiy
In Ttis Ears.

PITTsBURa, Dec. 10.-Several weeks
since the Pittsburg Art society adopted
resolutions recommending the accept.
ance of Mr.. Andrew Carnegie's gift Of
a public library to the city Of Pittsburg.
In the resolution the society deplored the
stand taken by several labor organiza-
tions against accepting Mr.. Carnegie's
gift to Pittsburg. The society assured
Mr.. Carnegie, in informing him Of its
proceedings, that his offer was appreci.
ated by large portion of the commu.
nifty, and expressed the belief that all
opposition would cease after the then
existing excitement passed away. Sat
urday Mr.. G.. w Scovel received Mr.
Carnegie's reply, which is in part as fol.
lows

of the community in which he has
lived and labored most of his days the APP

public are sometimes unduly praised, and now
and then unjustly censured. Public favor Is

was naturally much grieved at the action
of some of the the industrial organizations to
which the resolutions refer. Whatever was of
a personal character l readily understood and
passed over, perhaps the more easily because
could not see how | deserved IL. But the
opposition expressed to the libraries, music
hall and art gallery was wholly different
matter, and l rejoice to hear your society's
opinion that this came from the influence Of
strong temporary excitements.
1t were Indeed ptiable II the wage earners
for whom these were chiefly intended should
be permanently prejudiced against them by
any shortcomings of the donor, however
grievous, for, sadly as he may fail in his efforts
to live worthily and do his duty--and no one
alas, knows as well rs himself how far he falls
short Of his own ideal-yet his gifts to Pitts
burg must ever remain stainless and work
good continually and never evil.
Ihope, therefore, that your action may bring
my fellow workmen (for have a right TO use
this title) to see that fair play requires them
TO separate the donor and his many faults
from libraries and music hall and art gallery
which have none. II they will only do this
will gladly risk their some day expunRing the
votes of censure passed upon me personally.

WELLINGTON, o., Dec. 10.-The testi-
mony of Rev. Arnold, accused of mur.
derlng his wife, in his own behalf was
confused and contradictory, and he
failed to make plausible the theory of
suicide. 1t was shown that at times he
was cruel to her in his treatment. The
court found sufficient evidence of the
charge of wife murder aud bound him
over to the court of common pleas. He
will be taken to Cleveland for safe-keep-
ing, as this county is building new Jail
and the old one is torn down. Arnold is
76 years old and married his first wife
fifty years ago in this county. His fourth
wife died here about two years ago,

sllrer for tho cinolnnntI.

CINCINNATI, Dec. ia queer state OF
affairs exists here over the raising of a
fund for the purchase of silver service
for the cruiser Cincinnati, recently
launched. Mayor Mosby has for three
or four months been striving TO raise
$4,000 with which to purchase the SER
vice. Many of the leading business men
think that since the mayor ignored them
in making arrangements for the launch
ing of the cruiser, they should not be
expected TO contribute TO the fund. The
mayor has raised less than SO 900. Now
the Commercial club has taken up the
matter. They intend to raise the $40
600 in the next few days, purchase tha
service, and ignore the mayor and his
fund.
