The Currant Before It Is Dried.


| must confess that | have always
blindly supposed (when thought OF 1t

uing was the same fruit as the currant

cry which crows on bushes that follow

that by some process unknown to me, at
the hands of persons equally unknown
herhaps those who bring tlattened raisins
from grapes. these berries We're dried,
and that they then became the well
known ornament Of the Christmas cake.
1t was at Zanfe that my shameful lg-
norance Was made clear to me. Here /
learned that the dried fruit of commerce
is "A dwarf grape. which has nothing in
common with currant jelly. Its English
name, currant, Is taken from the French
"raisin de Corinthe, or Curinth grape,
a title bestowed because the fruit WIS
first brought into notice at Corinth. We
have stolen this name in the most un-
reasonable way for our red berry. Then,
10 Ildke the CUM hSloil NVi0 a" SUN 40
we have put the genuine currants INTO
our puddings and cakes we turn around
and call them "plums.'
The real currant, the dwarf grape of
Corinth, is about as large as gooseberrA
when ripe, and its color is deep violet
black; the vintage takes place i'll August.
1t is not hardy vine. 1t attains lux
uriance, was told, only i'll Greece; and
even there it is restricted to the northern
Poloponnesus, the shores of the Gulf of
Corinth, and the lonian islands.-Con,

CHINATOWN TROUBLE.
A Row Brewing Among the Lotte1
Companies.

Row Brewing Among the Lottery
Companies.
There is trouble brewing in Chinatown
and it may not end in smoke. There
was considerable excitement yesterday
afternoon in that quarter and those who
think they are marked were consid-
erably troubled in mind. Several weeks
ago three lottery shops were raided and
several of the dealers arrested. The
companies are Hung Lee & Co , Leung
Lee & Co., and the Kan Chong Tai Co.
The representatives of this company
were released on 5000 bond each. The
several dealers of the two former COM
panies were tried before Justice Owens
on last Saturday and the case was taken
under advisement until this morning.
The dealers of the latter company will
be tried tomorrow.
The trouble is over these cases. The
members of the % lottery games in
Chinatown have been holding meetings
for the purpose of intimidating the
three Chinese witnesses in these cases.
1t is stated on very good authority that
their object was also to subscribe money
to pay highbinders to ''spirit away" the
Cinnamon who were to testify against
the dealers. 1t is stated by one of the
men that $500 was to be paid
for the removal of each OF the
witnesses, Ah Cow, Ah Tong, All
Sue and Charley Coon, who have been
instrumental in securing convicting
evidence. Several meetings were held
before the cases came up, but nothing
definite was done, for there seemed to be
sentiment in the meetings against
such high-banded proceedings, and there
were several fights in consequence. A
meeting was held on last Friday night,
which ended in general fight and the
police dispersed the crowd. Numerous
efforts have been made to frighten these
witnesses, and Charley Coon says:
"They make big bluff and put up a
job on US, but I get me a gun"
