New England Andirons Are Rare.

Early New England andirons, or fire
dogs, of brass or wrought iron were tall
affairs ornamented with dogs heads.
They are seldom seen in New York, al
though they are initiated occasionally in
modern wares. A great many excellent
antique andirons and fire sets come from
the eastern shore of Maryland and from
Virginia The stove drove out the fire
place in New England, but the milder
climate of Maryland and Virginia made
the fireplace permanency there, and In
many old houses in those states the fire
irons of three generations ago are in
use.
A New Yorker takes special pride in a
fire set from Worcester county on the
eastern shore Of Maryland. II includes
brass headed tongs and shovel, a fire
block of oak on which they rest when
not in use. and brass andi1ons twenty
one inches high and weighing nearly ten
hounds each.-New York sun.

now that you will find only one opinion eX-

have used it TO need but very little recon-

Is ILLEGAL AND VOID.
Wiseonsin's Apportionment Law Declared
Unconstitutional.

Wiseonsin's Apportionment Law Declared
Unconstitutional.
MADISON, Wis, March 22.-The su-
preme court OF this stSte has declared
the apporuonment bill passed by the
last democratic legislature as unconsti.
tuuonel. and therefore VOID. The de-
cision affects only the senate and as
sembly districts and does not apply to
the congressional apportlonment about
which no complaint was made. The
decision IS made on the grounds that
the legislature violated the constItu-
ton, which requires that districts shall
be- formed according 10 population as
compactly as possible and tnat the
county is a territorial unit IN the for
nation of assembly districts. This is
the sum and substance of the decision.
The aoportlonment thus overthrown
was made upon the same lines as
every apportionment has been made
since the organization OF the state, and
the iniquities complained of have not
only been found in every apporuon-
ment, but most of them entered into
the apportonment made by the con-
sttutIonal convention which was part
of the constitution itself. The decision
distinctly says that 1t affects no other
act of any legislature; in fact, the last
legislature which elected William /.
Villas senator was elected under an
other apportionment act, the validity
of which was never questioned IN
court.
An extra session of the legislature
will be called and new apportlonment
law passed to govern the next election.
The fact that the democrats simply fol-
lowed the example OF the republicans
is accepted by people generally as
guaranty that the decision thus made
will have no special political effect.

CHINESE EXCLUSION.
The Chinese Minister Asks Some Sharp
Questions.

OuSSllOiiS.
WASHINGTON, March 22.-Mr. Tsui
Kwo Yin, the Chinese minister, has
prepared a letter to the secretary of
state urging an early response TO the
various communications that the CHI
nese government has sent To this gov
ernment with reference to the restric-
ton of Chinese immigration. Owing
10 the continued illness of Mr.. Blaine
the letter has not yet been sent, but
there is little doubt but that it will be
forwarded TO the state department
within very few days.
The Star today prints an interview
wte the minister, I'D which he says:
"For several years, in fact ever since
have been IN this country, ] have been
endeavoring to secure better treatment
for my people at the hands of the
United States. TO this end have for
warded a number of letters TO the state
department stating our position III the
matter, but IS yet | have received no
satisfactory answer.
''If the United States wishes to put
stop to Chinese immigration 1t should
be done by means of Il treaty with my
country. For the United States to
agree 10 treaty providing for the ad-
mission of Chinese and then to over
ride it by an act of congress is hardly
acting IN good faith. One side has all
10 say and the other side is not consid-
cred at all. By your constitution you
encourage immigration and insure fair
treatment of all alike, and yet your
treatment of the Chinese is inconsis-
tent with the constitution and the prin-
clples laid down by George Washing
tom"
There is one question would like to
ask you" said the reporter. ''lf the
United States puts further restrictions
on Chinese immigration will China ex-
c!ude Americans from her territory"
The answer was long time in coming
and WAS diplomatic one.
at seems 10 me that Americans
should consider the situation and with
draw from China of their own free
will. | will answer your question by
asking you one. Let us suppose that
the American minister IN London
should say to the American Chinese
minister, You keep away from the
American legation house. l don't
want you here Do you think the
Chinese minister would visit the Ameri-
can legation any more Ana do you
think the American minister would ex-
pect much of welcome at the Chinese
legation? You may draw your own
lnferences. Again, suppose that one
Washington bank sbould say 10 an
other, We won't have anything more
to do with you; we will not handle
your paper say the next week that
same bank should ask the other for
loan of Slo0.000 or so, do you think 1t
would be accommodated? The Ameri-
can people are talking great deal
about reciprocity just now. They
should remember that reciprocity
works two ways"

THREE GOOD" INDIANS.
They Were Killed in Desperate Hand
to-Hand Encounter With Knives.


to-Hand Encounter With Knives.
CHANpLEs, Ohio, March 22.-For q
long time there has been bad blood be-
tween two Indians who have been N
the habit of coming TO this town TO
trade. The laws OF their tribe and of
the country around kept them from
showing their enmity-In tue way their
savage ancestors probably would have
done. Each Indian had his family
and particular friends, and the affair
grew until it amounted to feud.
They have had several fights, but have
always been separated before they
could do any harm beyond a little
wholesale ood-letting. Last week the
two Indians happened III town at the
same time, and with each were several
friends. BY some unknown means
they procured some whisky, and in
short time got into a free tight.
AS neither party brought arms to
town they could do little damage ana
were separated aud started home, but
while on the way the quarrel WAS re-
newed. By this time all were armed,
for they had evidently hidden their
arms short distance from town. A
regular pitched battle ensued, and
when il was over, three Indians were
dead aud two were so badly wounded
that they will die, while three others
were severely cut about the head and
body. From the story told by one OF
the participants, one of the Indians
laid III wait for the other and shot him
from his horse, killing him instantly.
hhis started The battle, the friends of
both sides at once beginning to shoot.
Then came n hand d-to-hand encounter
with knives IN which the deadly work
was done.

Of the great silver battle have their
war paint on, and are ready for the

fiieked the moss prominent dust spots

ing boutOnnlerre, Mr.. Barune OF
Nevada, who leads the fight Tor free
silver on the republican side, got an
extra polish on MS shoes, and trim
little Mr.. Tracey of New York. who led
the night 80 herolcally against the com
mlttee's report, came IN smiling. even
neater than usual ID his personal APP
pearance. IL Is TO bs n battle of the
giants You can count on the fingers
of your two hands the men VINO wall
do the talking. Tracey of New York,
neatly dressed, with trown board a
little streaked with grey, his polished
courtesy. commanding the respect OF
allies and opponents alike. Nobody
sonal pluck, whether he agrees with
hlm or not.
Bland, who leads the fight on the
other eide, IL equally earnest, but has
not the address or the dress that
Tracey has. because he gives little at
tentlon to the question OF his personal
appearance or the sort Of clothes he
wears; nor has he the grace of oratorv,
or the art of sugar coating his remarks
that his polished New York antago-
MIST has. But he gets there just the
same. and will have u following OF two
on MS side OF the house where the
New Yorker has one.
Bartne OF Nevada. who leads the
other section OF the republican party,
looks something like Bland. He Is
about the same SIZE, has about the
same style of whIskers, wears good
deal the same kind of clothes. and has
the same views as TO the advantages of
free silver. 1t often happens that peo-
pie who look alike IN their personality
and views, Bartins and Bland
seem TO be matched team,
both physically and IN their
views, at least upon this subject.
Another pair of statesmen VINO resem-
bic each other somewhat IN their per-
sonaI appearance, anu whose views are
equally alike on the silver question,
are Mr. Tracey and Mr.. Andrew; both
blondes, both little below the medium
size; both polished IN manner and able;
they are also both earnest opponents
Of free silver, although they oppose 1t
in the teeth of the majority of their
own party.
The men who are to do the fighting
in the house on this occasion are Ira
cey, Hsrter, Andrew. Cocgran, Taylor
OF Illinois, and Walker of Massacnu-
setts, all of whom will fight the free
silver bill. The leading antagonists in
support of the bill will be Bland, Bar
tine, Robertson, Pierce, Enloe, Living
ston. Simpson and Townsend. The
hard fighters will be pretty well divided
as TO politics, for Tracey and Hsrter,
who will oppose the bill are democrats.
and Bartlne ana townsend, who Will
fight for it. are republicans.
