rather amusing incident occurred at a
hotel where Del Pucntc and other members
of the company stopped Tuesday night,
which indicated that the world famous bari
tone is the affabe, fine loving gentleman he
appears to be while on the stage. He with
other gentlemen of the company were con-
versing in the office of the hotel after the
concert when an inebriated individual came
in. He Immediately approached Del
Puente and as best he could between hic-
coughs announced himself as friend and
admirer of the great baritone. Stars of an
inferior magnitude have been known to as
sumo very disagreeable demeanor on an
moving occasions, but not so with Del
Puente The gentlemanly Spaniard, who
by birth is Marquis de Murcia, accepted the
hand proffered by the bibulous individual
and then introduced him to other members
of the company as my friend, gentlemen.
There was tact as well as graciousness in
this act, hich won the admiration of those
present as well as that of the bacchanalian.

Equal Rights league, of which Sam
Pinghee is president and Wong Foo,
who frequently writes for the Ameri.
can papers, is secretary, has issued
from it's Office an appeal in behalf OF
the Chinese. It is signed by Wong
Ching Foo and says:
IA cruel and monstrous law has been passed
by the last United States congress and signed
by the president OF the United States con.
demning O,000 innocent human beings
who are residents of the United States to
national servitude for the period Of not less
than six months nor more than year, after
which to be shipped out Of the country, simply
because they are persons Of Chinese birth"
An appeal is made in the name OF
humanity, to anybody who will, to
help undo this "monstrous wrong"
The circular says that the law is not
only against the already defenseless
Chinese, but against the principles and
spirit of the constitution of the United
States as we'll, and therefore against
the principles of a common manhood.

A STRANGE Case.

The strangest case ever brought to
the notice of the medical practice is
that of Freddy Smith of Mankato.
Some three years ago he wrenched his
shoulder in throwing ball. He con-
suited DR.. Knapp, of Fairfax, who pro-
n>nced it slight injury and of no
consequence. But as it has continued
to give him some annoyance, he con-
suited DR.. Andrews, who after thor
ough examination decided that the
shoulder had been dislocated all this
time and had worn new socket. The
doctor said that he could do nothing for
him. 1t is thought, however, that a
council of physicians will be called to
consider the case.
